“Rachel and her family are amazing! Our pup was loved and well taken care of while we were away. They kept us up to date daily on our pup and shared photos. We are very grateful for them and will continue to use them on all our trips.”
“Kris made my first rover booking experience extremely easy, I had a sitter pull out last minute and Kris and her puppy crew were sure to pick up the pieces and make sure my pup felt at home. Lots of pictures and updates were provided throughout the visit. She is a wiz with small dogs especially! Our chihuhah terrier has been known to be a barker but fell right in line under Krises care. We are so so grateful we found her! Thank you again Kris! We will be rebooking.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Fun fact: my first word was doggie. I’ve dealt with all kinds of breeds: Keeshond, pug, chihuahua, jack russell, lab, Australian shepherd, you name it! I SO enjoy dogs, and treat them (perhaps) better than family at times. I firmly believe that dogs are a humans best friend and just want to share my love of them by helping people care for them. I had a pug for many years and towards the end of her life, I bought her a wheelchair and a doggie stroller so she could still enjoy the outdoors with myself and my other (now senior) dog. I moved to Birch Bay in February and was commuting to work in Canada up until the end of June. Since then, I have been looking for work and secured a few house cleaning and Airbnb cleaning jobs for the time being. That being said, I am local and available almost all the time now. I take my own dog out about 5-6 times a day and have been assisting my neighbours dogs (2 golden retrievers) while they’ve been away on shorter trips. While I do live in a condo with stairs, there are several grassed areas in my complex where dogs can relieve themselves. We even have dog bag stations throughout the complex and many owners and renters have dogs here, I can name all of them in my building. My dog goes where I go. She’s allowed on the couch, she’s allowed on my bed. My house is her house as well.
“I cannot recommend Aparna enough! She took care of our dog Cooper for a weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with lots of pictures, videos and messages which gave us a lot of piece of mind knowing Cooper was doing great. Aparna took Cooper for walks, beaches and lots of play time. We came home to a happy pup who had a great time.”
“Alfie loves his time with Jennifer & Fiona!”
“Sheila is fantastic. Ruby, a full of energy slightly anxious three year old Shih Tzu, was so completely contented when I picked her up after a full week with Sheila. She understands and “knows” dogs. I highly recommend Sheila and expect to ask her to care for Ruby again.”
