“Mariana was so great with my puppers! She's a shy rottie but eventually opened up and made some great friends with her Aussie Shepards at home. I was constantly kept up to date with communication and pictures, and I was able to have peace of mind while out of town. Would definitely recommend and rebook when the time comes!”


“Jacqueline was very professional and eased my concerns with leaving my baby for the first time, I was so nervous. I was sent pictures of my baby which calmed my nerves down. If she would take Denim again when needed I would love it. Thank you and I would put in the highest recommendation that I could for a great dog sitter”


“I am so glad we found Monique! Our dog, an Australian shepherd called Zorro, doesn’t like to be handled by other people, so it was always stressful leaving him with dog sitters. We were even forced to cut one of our previous trip short because he would refuse to go outside on a leash and would not let putting a leash on him at all. This time I specifically looked for a boarding option with a fully fenced backyard and Monique’s place was a perfect match. We first left Zorro with Monique and her boyfriend for a few days as a trial and next time for the full two weeks. Monique and Anthony both seem very professional and know how to take care of dogs. We were finally able to relax during our vacation abroad knowing our dog is fine! Just so you know, even though Monique does not walk with dogs (it is only provided on a case by case basis for an extra fee), but she let them hang out in the backyard as much as they want. The backyard is decent in size and has a shade. For us it was perfect - no need to be dealing with the leash! We were offered to pay extra for our dog to be taken on a hike nearby, but we never used it. Monique sent us photos of our dog every day and shared some videos. Thank you very much Monique, we will come back again and I would recommend your services to anyone!”


“Tina was great! She was flexible on timing, very communicative, sent great pictures of our dog, and he came home happy. Would recommend her highly and look forward to using her in the future.”



“Jill is the best!! She is very friendly and accommodating and has a lovely home. Our dog adores her and her son, Preston. When we go up the drive to her house, our pup rushes to the front door and bounds into the house with wags and kisses for Jill. We have total confidence in her and are thrilled to have found her!”


“Noemi was wonderful with my dog and accomodating to my last minute booking! She sent me daily doggy mail and updated me on his activities. She has a beautful large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and play. Very pleasant and my dog seemed happy when i picked him up also so i know he enjoyed himself! Will definitely book with Noemi again!”


“Sandra took fantastic care of my Jelly! She really treated her like she was part of the family, she was so flexible, and kept me up to date on all their adventures! I will definitely book with Sandra again!”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I provide more than just pet sitting — I offer dependable, loving companionship tailored to each pet’s needs and one thing I can say I specialize in is accustoming to different routines based on your pet’s schedule and preferences, from long walks to playtime to quiet cuddle sessions! I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, love, and respect. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I currently work at a daycare full time, however my schedule is flexible and I have weekends off which gives me more than enough play time for your furry friends on the weekdays and weekends! I have a large fenced backyard which gives the dogs a chance to run around and play freely. I also have a partner who is a Firefighter and a huge dog lover and works every 4 days so on the weekdays when I am at work they will still be with someone at home offering lots of love and attention.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, sticking to a specific routine, or just providing tons of cuddles and playtime. I’m also active, so energetic pups will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time! I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, playtime, or just keeping them company while I work, I love having pets around—it makes my day better! My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to their routine and be fully present for walks, feeding, and any special needs they might have. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy it. At my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play! I have a yard for fresh air and outdoor time, and I’m lucky to live near two parks—perfect for walks, exercise, and a little adventure. I keep a clean, calm environment and tailor the care to each pet’s needs, whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or providing lots of love and attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they’re with me.

“I felt like storm was really loved and taken care of. I’m grateful because I took a leap of faith using rover and for the first time I had a great experience!! I loved the care”


“We needed Jasie because our usual person was not available. Jasie lives across the street from us and we didn’t even know that until Rover! We went away Friday night to Sunday night. Jasie was great, she sent pictures, texted any questions and cared for Cadie like we would. We are so happy we found her! Will use again!”


About: I currently have a dog, so I am well aware of how to take care of them. I have also had cats in the past, and have been walking dogs through various apps for over 5 years. I am currently on sabbatical, so am home all day! Schedule is flexible, I take my own dog on 3 40 minute walks a day and to a field to play fetch at least once. Hiking is usually once or twice a week. I choose to care for other people's pets like they are my own, I absolutely love animals and don't see it as a chore but something I enjoy!

“Excellent!! I felt confident about leaving Gino under Zoey’s care.”


“This was our first time ever having someone else other than family watch our 12 year old dog, and Alexandra could not have made it better. From the daily updates and pictures, we knew our dog was well cared for. Thank you for making this stress free.”


About: I work primarily from home throughout the week. This gives me the time needed to care for anyone's pet to ensure a safe, fun environment. I dog sat for 2 years prior to my new full time role. I have fostered dogs and now I have recently adopted my own. I love dogs and look to care for anyone's pet when you need it most. Please reach out to set up a meet and greet so I can be introduced to your family member and also visit my place to see if it is a suitable temporary environment for your pet. Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you. I am home most of the time and since I have a dog of my own, any pet will fit seamlessly into his routine as well. I'm sure my dog would love to make new friends as well! I live in a dog friendly community, dog park nearby, have a fenced courtyard, riverwalk in walking distance as well. I take my dog for at least one long walk (about an hour) per day and two other times aside from that. I make sure he doesn't eat any food scraps, anything from ground outside that could be harmful either. Smoke free and alcohol free home. Can also ensure any diet or food allergies are monitored appropriately.
