“My dog Ocean had a great stay with Sandra. It was our first time leaving Ocean for as long as we did and she kept us updated with photos and we could tell she was comfortable and enjoying her stay. We would book her again.”
“I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Monica, and look forward to rebooking with her soon. She was delightfully accommodating of my senior dog's nutritional needs, and provided me with regular updates (of a length and frequency that made me feel like I was being cared for as much as my dog!). Monica is lovely to interact with and her kindness extends to us humans, too :) Thank you, Monica!”
“Livia was super with our bigger than life puppy! We really appreciated the last minute booking too! Her updates and pictures she sent were so thoughtful and we hope she didn’t run after The deer too much! We were also totally stoked Georgia was so gentle with her pets! We are very fortunate to have Livia right down the road from us! Cheers! And again, thank you for the last minute booking.”
“Michelle was responsive and accommodating with our dog. We very much appreciate her care for him over the weekend, and when we picked him up, he was in good spirits and apparently well cared for. Recommended!”
“I can’t begin to explain how wonderful I felt leaving Charlie with Robin and Andrew. They helped place this dog Mom at ease and I just knew it would go well. They provided daily pictures and let me know how he was doing and were very consistent. Charlie came home so happy and I would book them again in a heart beat. Thankyou soooooo much”
“Dima was really great with my dog. She was nervous on arrival but Dima sent me updates on how she was doing, and she settled in really well. I got lots of photos and videos while I was away, and I knew she was well taken care of while I was gone. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog with Dima again. Excellent experience.”
“Allison is amazing with our dog who loves walks either her and staying with her and running around her acreage. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. So kind and responds quickly. Highly recommend her as a dog walker and boarding,”
“My Tucker was so well cared for with Gail and Ross. There was great communication during the stay and I was provided with updates and pictures. I will definitely continue to use them to care for Tucker going forward. Thanks so much!”
“Leslie made sure all our pup’s needs and comforts were met as well as providing us lots of updates and pictures. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands with Leslie while we were away! We will definitely book with her again!”
“I am very thankful for Don and her wife for taking care of my Casper. She updates me from time to time and helps me with Casper's medication. She really made an effort that Casper will still feel home away from home. She endured that Casper will feel loved while we are away. I will definitely come back for her as Casper likes her and her other furry friends even if we just left him for a long weekend. She and Don really care for our fur baby. I really appreciate all of it. 😊😊😊”
“Desiree was so loving and gentle with Lilly. She gave me photo updates daily and was very attentive to Lilly and her needs. Giving daily cuddles and so much love. Even her family were onboard with all the love and kindness. Lilly looked so happy and was very well cared for. I would highly recommend her and will use Desiree again.”
About: We have over a decade of hands on experience caring for dogs at all stages of life, from energetic pups to seniors who need a little extra care and attention. We’re comfortable caring for senior dogs with arthritis or mobility challenges, including administering medications, helping with lifting when needed, and recognizing when a dog needs to slow down, rest, or have a quieter day. At the same time, we understand that every dog has different needs. Having raised an Australian Shepherd, we know firsthand how much exercise, stimulation, structure, and engagement high energy dogs require. We love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures, while making sure each dog’s individual energy level and comfort are respected. Our goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while in our care. We are genuine dog lovers and treat every dog like they are our family. Pet care fits naturally into our lifestyle! I work part-time shift work, while my partner works a regular monday to friday job, so we have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the attention and care they need. We love having dogs around and are happy to include them in our daily routine with walks, playtime, outdoor time, and plenty of cuddles. We’re especially interested in longer stays when our schedules allow, as well as weekend stays and boarding during our time off. We’re happy to work with each dog’s individual routine and make their stay feel as much like home as possible! Our home is a safe, comfortable, and dog-friendly environment where your pup can feel right at home. We have a large, fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and a dog proofed home where dogs can relax and settle into their own routine. We take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special needs before their stay. We provide plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and attention, while also recognizing when a dog needs some quiet time or a rest. Your dog will be treated as part of the family while they’re with us....with lots of love, patience, cuddles, and care. Our priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay.
“We left our puppy with Whitney for 8 days. She took good care of him and our Kyup made friends with other dogs. She sends daily updates and photos, We are happy to have found Whitney in Rover!”
“Lori took such great care of our Kuba and kept us updated with photos which gave us peace of mind. We would definitely our dog with her again. Thanks again Lori.”
“Jeff and his family took such a good care of Scooby. Scooby is a very anxious dog. This was Scooby's first boarding experience and looks like he loved it. They send pictures everyday and updated us as well about day to day activities. Will be booking back for sure! Thank you for everything you guys did for our little Scooby.”
“Really appreciate the updates everyday, it helped us enjoy our trip even more knowing our pup was in good hands! Lacey also welcomed our pup with such short notice since our other sitter cancelled on us, so she truly is a life saver! I definitely would choose Lacey again for future visits!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my senior dog. He came home tired! After picking him up, he slept for the remainder of the day. As they say, a tired dog is a happy dog. I also appreciated your timely updates - sending photos and a video of his stay.”
“Ahmad and Amira are star hosts who provided the most loving, gentle care for our doodle🙏🏼 With great updates and feedback, I will certainly book with the family again 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 A huge thanks to Ahmad and Amira🎉🎉🎉”
“I highly recommend April! She took wonderful care of our dog, Otto. He had the chance to socialize with a few other dogs she was watching, which he loved. April kept us updated with regular pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Otto was happy, comfortable, and in good hands.”
“My pupper seemed very comfortable and happy in Ania's care. I would happily book again and recommend Ania to everyone, especially for those doggos needing that one on one care”

About: I was born and raised on a mixed farm in Southern Saskatchewan. While growing up, I was surrounded by farm cats and dogs. However, my residence doesn’t allow pets in the house. When I came across Rover, I thought it would be a great opportunity to interact and be around animals. I am trustworthy, punctual and energetic! I enjoy walking and biking around my neighbourhood. I am an animal bioscience graduate with volunteer experience at a veterinary clinic. While working at the clinic I have taken care of clients cats and various sized dogs. Tasks would include helping the technicians restrain the pet while they receive a vaccine, cleaning poop in the kennels, feeding and watering the animals, going for walks when needed and always petting them when given the chance. I look forward to taking care of your pet.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, current horse owner and former dog owner. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including large dogs, and with administering medications, including injections. I provide patient, reliable and loving care based on each pet’s individual needs. I will be starting a new part-time job come Tuesday October 13th, I will still have day time, evening and weekend availability I just do not quite know what my weekly schedule will look like as of yet. As soon as I have a more concrete schedule I will ensure to keep my calendar updated to reflect my weekly availability. If you have any questions or notice a day blocked off please do not hesitate to reach out as it is likely I am available before or after a certain time. Thank you so much for your patience and flexibility during this transitional period! :) I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and plenty of attention. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space, keep your home tidy and provide regular updates while you are away.
About: What sets us apart is our incredibly active outdoor lifestyle. Your friendly, outgoing pets won't just be sitting around; they'll join our family of seven's exciting adventures! Working part-time leaves plenty of time for pet care! Unable to own pets ourselves, my kids devote all their energy, attention, and love to yours With five children, safety and gentle handling are strictly enforced. Whether exploring outdoors or relaxing indoors, your pet remains securely supervised in a trustworthy environment. Your pet’s safety is our top priority, ensuring your pet always feels safe and trusted. We provide constant supervision, respect your home's rules, and ensure a secure, trusting environment filled with loving attention.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have been trusted to care for dogs (and cats) for about six years. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for! I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time during my days off to take care of your pets! I can also possibly be flexible about different days of the week, so let me know! I will follow your routines and requests, and pay close attention to each dog’s needs and behaviour. I’m communicative and make sure every walk or visit is fun and secure.
About: Since I can remember, cats have always been a part of my life. Over the past decades, I’ve had the privilege of growing up alongside multiple cats — from being a curious child to becoming a cat sitter today, their companionship has formed the softest yet strongest bond in my heart. Every breath they take, every gentle meow, every flick of the tail, and every quiet gaze is their way of communicating emotion and trust. Years of living with cats has taught me how to listen — truly listen — to their needs, feelings, and natural rhythm. As a professional painter, I’m trained to capture the expressions and emotions of life through careful observation. This sensitivity also shapes the way I care for cats — I’m able to read their subtle reactions and respond with genuine understanding and respect, honoring their personality and pace. I offer personalized, one-on-one care whether your cat is a shy and sensitive little soul, or an energetic and curious tiny explorer. I care for every cat I meet with the same love, patience, and devotion I give to my own. Every day, I maintain consistent routines including scheduled feeding, litter cleaning, brushing, and tracking water and food intake. I also provide gentle companionship, comforting touch, engaging play, and interactive enrichment. My goal is: • to create a stress-free, safe, and joyful environment built on trust and happiness for cats; and to give pet parents true peace of mind — reassurance you can feel, not just hear. Love is where my care begins, and it’s the reason I continue doing what I do. I’m a freelance artist, so my schedule is very flexible and I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan visits around each cat’s usual schedule and individual needs. I can make plenty of time for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I follow each cat’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or nervous cats and always let them approach me at their own pace. When caring for cats in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their pets and their space. I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep food and litter areas clean, and watch for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Gabriella was great - prompt response when I sent in a cat sitting request She looked after my pet (cat) just over a week, and all went well She even shoveled the snow on the driveway!”
About: Come stay with the Aussie twins in a large 2500 sq foot home centrally located downtown. With over 7000sq of fenced in outdoor space, your pup will sure be tired after his/her stay. I have had a dog since I was 10 years old, all of which being Australian shepherds, so I know how to handle to smart energetic breeds quite well. Both of my dogs that I currently have, have been through obedience training, and one of them is working on agility. I have also done tracking, and herding with my dogs. I have dog sat, many different breeds before and I have never had any issues. So send your pup my way and they will have the best time! Lots of walks can be provided and off leash dog park visits too!
About: Welcome to your dog’s second home in Cranston’s Riverstone. I’m Rory, a full-time work-from-home sitter who cares for one family’s dogs at a time, so your dog gets focused attention and a predictable, low-stress stay. I’m home throughout the day and night, which means your dog is rarely alone. If I do step out briefly, it’s never for more than an hour, and I’m always happy to align with your dog’s routine and comfort level. ⸻ Daily routine, walks, and outdoor time We have a fully fenced backyard for regular outdoor breaks, play, and relaxed time outside. I’m also just two blocks from the Bow River pathway system, with paved and unpaved trails, hills, and quiet spots that are perfect for sniffing and exploring. Walks are tailored to the dog. That can mean a short 10-minute stroll, or longer 8 km loops (an hour or more) through the river paths and surrounding hills, depending on age, energy level, and preference. ⸻ A calm canine companion Your dog will share the space with Willow, my well-mannered senior Great Dane. She’s low-energy, gentle, and has spent now 3 years helping visiting dogs settle in comfortably. Her calm presence is especially helpful for dogs who benefit from a relaxed, steady environment while their owners are away. Because I only host one household at a time, the dynamic stays simple and manageable. ⸻ Experience and care approach I grew up on a farm and have cared for animals my entire life. I’m comfortable with puppies (typically not intact males), adult dogs, and seniors, and I’m happy to administer oral medications if needed. Dogs are welcome on furniture and can sleep in the same room as me. Crates are preferred for sleeping and downtime, and I can provide extra-large crates if requested, or use your own setup if that’s what your dog prefers. ⸻ Drop-ins and house checks In addition to boarding and daycare, I offer pet drop-ins and daytime house checks in south Calgary and northern Okotoks. These visits can include feeding, walks, companionship, plant watering, mail collection, and garbage day management. I work from home and can keep a 24/7 eye on your pet. When sitting we won’t be leaving them at home, and will take them on daily walks around the neighborhood, including the paved walkways along the Bow River in Riverstone. I work from home full-time and only look after one family’s dogs at a time, so pets get plenty of supervision and consistency. My home has a fully fenced yard for frequent outdoor breaks, and walks and playtime are always tailored to each dog’s needs. I closely follow feeding and care instructions, can give oral medications if needed, and send regular photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“Sandra, her boys and own dog were very welcoming and gentle with little Sophie. She warmed right up and felt very comfortable for her first visit. We will definitely return and appreciate all the caring attentionshe received. Thank you so much!”
“Gail and Ross looked after our 4 year old Havanese and we could not be happier with the loving care and attention he received. They let him settle in at his own pace and gave him lots of snuggles and belly runs when he was ready. Their home and backyard are very dog friendly and we would definitely use their pet sitting services again should we ever find ourselves back in Okotoks.”
About: Our pets are our family. I'm so happy to be able to look after yours, and will treat them as my own. We recently had to let go of our 15 year old girls, so I know how to look after them in all stages of life, including giving them the medicine they need to be comfortable when they get older. I'm very happy to visit your babies and give them all the love they need. I can do drop in visits, house-sitting, and dog walking, and am flexible so can work with your schedule. I also volunteer as bunny hugger with the Calgary Humane Society, so also have a lot of experience with rabbits, and would also be happy to look after yours. All pets are welcome, and I will look after them with my whole heart. I'm currently living on an acreage, and volunteering with the Calgary Humane Society, Inn from the Cold, and the Calgary Library. I have all the love and time to look after your little ones, and can be flexible for what works for you. I am happy to visit your pet, giving food and medicine as needed, and all the treats and love. I would also be thrilled to take your pup out for a good walk and play. We will talk about your pets needs, and I will ensure they are comfortable, safe, and cared for.

About: Hello! I’ve been an animal lover since I was little and I’m SO excited to be able to take care of your fur babies! I've looked after all sorts of dogs and cats since I was younger. Neighbours, family, and friends have entrusted me with looking after their pets and I absolutely love caring for them! Every animal has such a unique personality and I love spending time taking care of them and getting to know them! 🤍 I work from home, so I'm fairly flexible with regards to where I work and the hours I work. I can work whilst pet-sitting or fit my schedule around your pets. I provide lots of love and care, always thinking about the needs of the pet even over my own! I am aware that all pets have different personalities so I really want to hear all the quirks so I can best care for your pet!
“Chester loves going to Whitney’s house. He is so excited when he gets there and is absolutely worn out when we pick him up. I love knowing he is so loved when he’s there.”
“Yonathan and Lezette were awesome! They looked after our Murphy on very short notice, followed all of our instructions for his restricted diet, took lots of photos, and even took him on an extra walk. We would love to work with them again!”
“I was a bit nervous to leave my very young puppy with someone at first; but Christine was wonderful - she sent me updates, pics and videos throughout the day and it really helped put my mind at ease. I know he is really good hands because of how excited he gets when we get to her house.”
“We had an amazing experience with Max’s daycare! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in caring, responsible, and loving hands. Max came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything. Communication was excellent, updates were reassuring, and it’s obvious that they genuinely love what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy daycare for their dog.”
“April accommodated my same day request and took Beau in for me. Normally when he stays at new people's places he doesn't eat much but he actually ate! He was in love with April's son. I think he had a great time there. Would have April and her son look after Beau again!”
“Belle says "thanks so much for such a nice visit with you and DuDu today"! And us humans say thanks as well, and we really appreciate your great communication and your lovely home. Hope to see you again soon!”
About: Newcomers USE Promo code: SHEENW15608 to get 20 dollars off your first booking! I have a very personal approach to petsitting. I take only one guest at a time. So your dog will get all of my focus and will be in a very calm environment. My dog Marlo is very sweet and calm and is an excellent hostess to our guests. I have been away from Rover for awhile busy with clients I’ve had for many years but I would love to expand my clientele and look forward to giving your dog the best one on one care like they deserve.I have loved animals my whole life. In my late teens I had rabbits and for the last 30 years I have had dogs. Out of high school I worked as a vet tech in training for a year. Then from the age of 21 to my early 40s I was blessed to have 6 dogs in my life 3 of which were rescues. All were with me until their very senior years. I have learned so much from them. Most of my dogs were fairly close in age so they were young together and they grew old together. I had the joy of a pack and I have seen and learned so much through the lifetimes of six dogs, one of which was a paraplegic with IVDD. So I am experienced with special needs dogs, seniors, IVDD, manual bladder emptying, dog diapers, blindness, and palliative care. I am able to administer medications including injections and know CPR and what to do in other emergencies. My experiences have taught me empathy, how to serve selflessly and love unconditionally. When my last dog, who was a paraplegic, passed away I fostered a 4 year old female dachshund with IVDD and working with the rescue fully rehabilitated her. I adopted her (Marlo) in 2024 and she is a great hostess to our guest dogs. I get to meet so many perfect little souls and spend time giving them happy moments, comfort, and security while their moms and dads are at work or travelling. I am extremely capable with seniors and special needs dogs because I understand them and what they need medically, physically, and emotionally. All dogs hold a special place in my heart. I have many repeat clients I gained through word of mouth before I came to Rover and look forward to being more available to start meeting new Rover clients so, though I'm just becoming available, I can provide plenty of references from petsitting clients I've been booked with. *Please note my rate amount covers the the booking fee you pay to Rover and the 30 percent fee I pay to Rover I am retired so petcare is something I choose to do because I love it and so I don’t just work it around my routine. Instead I work the rest of my routine around it. I am home full time so your dog is with my dog and me all the time. I am in a pet friendly condo with a fenced in private dog yard for residents. The area has great parks and walk routes also.

About: I’ve had pets all my life, I’ve had dogs and cats and guinea pigs. I love taking my dog, Bailey for pond walks, and she’d love doggy company. I work full time, but work from home on Fridays and I’m home on the weekends. I’m available for boarding, and daycare from Friday to Sunday, or evening and weekend dog walks. I have a secure fenced yard, and live beside a pond, so walks are easy. I have one dog, a cavalier King Charles spaniel, who’s the sweetest girl. Your dog(s) would be well taken care of.
“Carla was absolutely wonderful with our 9 week-old Bernese Mountain pup! Working from home has been a challenge - trying to work efficiently and finding the time for play, potty breaks and naps. Carla was very accommodating and was able to spend a few hours with our pup in the comfort of our own home. Our pup loved her and we will certainly use her services again!”
“Amazing care! My girl came home happy and tired, which is exactly what we needed. She sent lots of photos and communicated well. Looking forward to using Sandra’s services again.”

I will follow any house rules in regards to caring for your pet in your home. Whether it special crating, meals, yard safety and limits etc.
“We are very grateful to finally have met Lucinda. Our 4 year old Labradoodle can be nervous and quite sensitive. However, Lucinda went above and beyond to make sure Daisy was comfortable before and during her walks. She even stopped by the day before the first scheduled walk to ensure that Daisy could get to know her better. Lucinda is the most conscientious and trustworthy dog walker, and we are very appreciative to have her help!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the level of patience, empathy, and genuine connection I build with every animal in my care.

About: Hi there! I am so excited to be your potential caregiver! I guarantee your pet(s) will receive the best possible care, love, and companionship. My experience beyond Rover includes pet sitting for various neighbours, friends, and family through word of mouth growing up going back 25 years. I have had a great experience with trustedhousesitters. I am extremely trustworthy, dependable, and fun loving. I grew up in beautiful British Columbia and moved to the US in 2015 and now split my time between Okotoks and Seattle. I am a proffessional singer/songwriter and have been a career nanny for over 10 years. I love spending time outdoors as much as possible and it is even better when I have a furry pal to explore with! Thank you for your time and consideration. Jodi I am available 7 days a week and have a very flexible schedule, feel free to reach out and we can discuss what you are looking for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have never gone without having one by my side, so looking after them feels completely natural to me. While I was away at university, I even fostered a couple of dogs because I missed having that companionship so much it was incredibly rewarding to give them love and stability while they waited for their forever homes. I’m comfortable with a range of needs, from energetic puppies who benefit from consistent routines and basic training, to senior dogs who need a gentler, more attentive approach. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with every dog I care for as I treat them like my own. Recently, I lost my two dogs, and while I’m not quite ready to bring a new puppy into my home, caring for others’ pets feels like the perfect way to keep sharing that love, attention, and companionship that dogs deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make it a priority in my day. I’m currently working part-time with a chiropractic internship from Monday to Thursday, which still leaves me with plenty of time and energy to give your dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m available on weekdays after 4pm as well as on weekends, making it easy for me to accommodate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or overnight care. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to making sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. At my place, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and supervised play. There is also one friendly 2-year-old Havanese (my parents’ dog), so I’m mindful of introductions and always make sure all dogs feel comfortable and safe. I can easily crate your dog if that’s part of their routine, or they’re welcome to have free roam of the house if preferred. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible to keep things consistent and stress-free. My goal is always to create a trustworthy, secure environment where your pet feels relaxed, cared for, and right at home.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have been trusted to care for dogs (and cats) for about six years. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for! I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time during my days off to take care of your pets! I can also possibly be flexible about different days of the week, so let me know! I will follow your routines and requests, and pay close attention to each dog’s needs and behaviour. I’m communicative and make sure every walk or visit is fun and secure.
“Melissa is just wonderful. Ranger just loves her and in fact waits for her by the door. She is on time and is lovely to deal with. Thank you Melissa for taking such good care of Ranger.”
About: Greetings! I am a retired stay at home grandma. I have owned Shih-Tzu for25+ years. After having lost two, Molly to kidney issues and Buddy at 16, Oliver(5) is now my companion. I would love for him to have friends over to play ☺️ He needs some friendly company❤️ As I am retired, I do not work out of my home. On occasion my grand daughters (7/8) or grandson (9) come over, and they love pets. I go for long walks with my own dog most days, so pet sitting/walking fits my life style very well. I have a townhouse with a deck and patio, opening onto a green space. I am located across from a large grassed field and walking paths leading to parks and wetlands. My home is well kept and your pet will have a good combination of rest/activity in a safe and fun environment.
About: I’ve had a dog for 9 years, I trained her and I house sit with her every summer. I’m very good with dogs I love to play with them and bring them on exciting walks I’m currently in school online which has no schedule so I have lots of free time to play with pups and bring them on long walks I will care for the pet based on the clients home, I love the outdoors so if there is no fenced in yard I’m more than happy to go on multiple walks long or short
“Tracie is an absolute gem! She is so kind and truly loves animals! She made us feel super comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care!

If you are looking for someone who actually cares and is a wonderful person- Tracie is someone I would fully recommend!”
“Olga has been looking after my 1yr old Golden on a daily basis during the work week. She is always enthusiastic about their time together and she has great communication skills. I’m lucky to have her help!”

“I can’t begin to explain how wonderful I felt leaving Charlie with Robin and Andrew. They helped place this dog Mom at ease and I just knew it would go well. They provided daily pictures and let me know how he was doing and were very consistent. Charlie came home so happy and I would book them again in a heart beat. Thankyou soooooo much”
“Dima was really great with my dog. She was nervous on arrival but Dima sent me updates on how she was doing, and she settled in really well. I got lots of photos and videos while I was away, and I knew she was well taken care of while I was gone. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog with Dima again. Excellent experience.”

About: We have over a decade of hands on experience caring for dogs at all stages of life, from energetic pups to seniors who need a little extra care and attention. We’re comfortable caring for senior dogs with arthritis or mobility challenges, including administering medications, helping with lifting when needed, and recognizing when a dog needs to slow down, rest, or have a quieter day. At the same time, we understand that every dog has different needs. Having raised an Australian Shepherd, we know firsthand how much exercise, stimulation, structure, and engagement high energy dogs require. We love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures, while making sure each dog’s individual energy level and comfort are respected. Our goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while in our care. We are genuine dog lovers and treat every dog like they are our family. Pet care fits naturally into our lifestyle! I work part-time shift work, while my partner works a regular monday to friday job, so we have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the attention and care they need. We love having dogs around and are happy to include them in our daily routine with walks, playtime, outdoor time, and plenty of cuddles. We’re especially interested in longer stays when our schedules allow, as well as weekend stays and boarding during our time off. We’re happy to work with each dog’s individual routine and make their stay feel as much like home as possible! Our home is a safe, comfortable, and dog-friendly environment where your pup can feel right at home. We have a large, fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and a dog proofed home where dogs can relax and settle into their own routine. We take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special needs before their stay. We provide plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and attention, while also recognizing when a dog needs some quiet time or a rest. Your dog will be treated as part of the family while they’re with us....with lots of love, patience, cuddles, and care. Our priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay.

They send pictures everyday and updated us as well about day to day activities. Will be booking back for sure! Thank you for everything you guys did for our little Scooby.”

“This was my first time using Rover so I was quite nervous leaving my dog, Walter, with a stranger, but I immediately got good vibes from Frankie. She and her husband provided a very loving home for Walter’s stay. She allowed him to sleep in bed with her which was important to me as that’s what he is used to. She provided him with ample exercise and attention. I appreciated the frequent text updates with photos. I felt at ease, and it was clear that Walter enjoyed his vacation! We will definately be repeat customers.”
“Jessica and Harrison were wonderful with Chester! He had a great time running and playing in their yard. He was worn out from his stay with them ?. I have already booked more stays with them! Highly recommend!”
