“Leona is very kind and friendly. She helped us with visiting our cat Pudding twice a day. She really loves cats. She played with Pudding every time and made sure she has food and water and sent us pictures. Pudding was very happy and playful when we arrived. Definitely recommended.”

I am available from Sunday- Wednesday 9am- 2pm every other week; and Sunday-Wednesday 9am-8pm. I work at an animal emergency hospital so I will be out of the city outside of these times. Depending on if I am able to take the pet with me to work at the emergency hospital which they allow I can provide the proper care when it comes to at home sitting and walkings. I am very skilled at walking hyperactive dogs. I do not under any circumstances allow dogs to be off leash, Only if it is in a fenced reserved area. This is for many reasons mainly the dogs safety and others. On hot days I collapsible water bowls, and bags to pick up after them. I do not allow interactions with other unknown animals due to contracted diseases, illnesses or fleas (No kennel cough on my watch!!), or unknown reactions of other dogs. When it comes to house sitting or visits, I make sure the parent provides a list of (contact information, preferred food, possible health conditions, medications needed to be administered, toys they like, commands, emergency primary veterinarian contact, placed they don’t like to be petted, etc). I like to have daily check ups or however many times the parent wants to check up on them or updates. I am able to provide Zoom calls or FaceTime calls with the animal if needed. As for daily physical activity, if there is a specific reserved area or park where there aren’t many dogs and your animal is well trained, we may go play at the park or out for a run for a short time. The safety and happiness of your furry loved one is my first priority when in my care!

About: I used to take care of my mom’s dog while I lived with her, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines and giving pets the attention they need. Every morning, I’d take him to the park for playtime and a 30-minute walk, and I always made sure he was fed on time. He was scared of the groomer, so I learned how to brush and bathe him at home to keep him clean and comfortable. That experience taught me how to be patient and gentle, especially with pets that are a little nervous. I treat every pet like they’re my own and really try to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m doing Rover full time right now, so pet care is a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is built around the pets I’m caring for—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I plan my day to make sure they get enough attention, playtime, and consistency. Since this is my main focus, I have the flexibility to give each pet the time and care they need. When I do dog walks or drop-in visits, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are secure on their leash and check that harnesses or collars fit properly before we head out. I stick to safe walking routes and keep a close eye on their behavior and surroundings. During drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company. I always make sure doors are locked, everything is cleaned up, and the pet is comfortable before I leave. I also send regular updates so pet parents know their pets are happy and in good hands.

“Ellen took great care of my two cats. I really appreciated her feedback on them each day, and her patience with them, as they are shy with new people. I will definitely be using Ellen for cat care again.”

About: I have 10 years of experience in raising cats and 6 years of experience in rescuing stray cats. I have 3 cats at home. I am experienced in taking care of kittens, sick cats and dealing with cat stress. I live in a large house with 6 rooms and a backyard for two families. Most of the cats that come to foster care are in single rooms. I love cats, just like I love my own children. My husband and I work from home, so we have plenty of time to take care of your pets, we have plenty of time to take them for a walk. The house I live in has two floors and six rooms. I hope the owner provides food, and I will be provide snacks. The cats will live alone in the cat house for the first two days when they come to my house. I will observe the friendliness of the cats to decide whether to let them play with other cats.

About: I have been dog sitting with Rover since 2020 and I love it! I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs, and many different breeds! I am available from Saturdays to Tuesdays, so please feel free to book whatever kind of service it is that you might need on those days! I live in a house and have a fenced backyard (concrete floor). My 5-year-old dog Morkie is 8 lbs and can give another dog company. He doesn’t typically play with other dogs, as he is a bit of an introvert (lol). He also gets territorial and jealous but he’s all bark no bite!
