“Jill provided a calm, comforting space for our two dogs while we were traveling over the holidays. As it happens our golden retriever celebrated her first birthday on the day we left and that evening Jill sent us photos from a sweet little birthday party she threw for them (cake, photo backdrop, the works!). We received daily updates and photos of our pups enjoying play time and living their best lives. We picked up two happy pups that were clearly well cared for in our absence. Thank you Jill for providing exceptional care for our babies!”
“My baby came home so tired, loved, and happy! We got regular updates and so many photos. I didn’t have to worry for a second. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be using Stacey’s services again.”
“Benjamin is such a GEM! Took my pup in last minute. Sent me updates , photos, and videos. I could barely get my dog to leave. Thank you Benjamin for taking such amazing care of my best bud.”
“Ana R. Was amazing & very friendly with our puppy Bailey! We had never left our 5 month old puppy before, Ana was very reassuring from the point of booking until Bailey was picked up he was in excellent hands! He was cuddled & loved, spend lots of time outside & at parks.... Ana sent many photos of Bailey eating, playing, sleeping & outside to reassure us he was being well taken care of! I would highly recommend Ana!”
“Ana took amazing care of my dog, she sent me pictures and videos often so I felt good knowing he was happy and comfortable while I was away. Ana had great communication and my dog seemed very comfortable with her. I would be a repeat client but we are moving out of town unfortunately! Highly recommend her as a dog sitter :)”
“Katrina, Ryan, and Rocky made leaving Artemis for a week a breeze! Even as an only dog at home, it was nice to have another one to show him the ropes. I appreciated the pictures and updates. He was happy to see me at pick up but also wanted both of us to stay! I'd happily board him with them again”
“Sarah was excellent to deal with, she took great care of our dog and provided daily updates. She was great to use and we will definitely leave our dog with her again, highly recommend her!!”
“Jen is amazing - we left our dog (Obi) with her while we vacationers down south in October and he loved being at her place. She sent us regular updates, with pictures and videos, and was always taking them places to keep them entertained. We will definitely be using her again and telling everyone we know Bout her. We highly recommend her services. 👍”
“Ashley was fantastic! From the moment we met for the meet and greet, it was clear she was an animal lover. Our 7 month old cockapoo is prone to anxiety, but she instantly connected with him and made him feel at home. While we were away, Ashley kept in touch with updates, pictures and videos, which we loved! We're so grateful that she took such great care of our pup. We would definitely book with Ashley again.”
“This was my cherished Ernie’s first time spending multiple days apart from me. I could not have asked for a better sitter to open up their home to him. Terry made sure that Ernie felt comfortable and gave him time, care and attention while he adjusted to his new surroundings. Terry provided updates on how Ernie was doing which ultimately relieved the stress of worrying about is well being. It was heartwarming to see my smiling dog being himself while I was away. I came back to a happy, healthy dog and a sitter who genuinely enjoyed his time with Ernie. Communication was great and I would not hesitate to rebook should I require sitting in the future.”
“Amazing dog sitter! She and her sons did a great job of taking care of my cockapoo. Sent me pics of her and updated me on what she was up to for the day. I would highly recommend her and I will def use her services again in the future.”
“This was our first time using rover, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Marianna was very professional and was incredibly knowledgeable about dogs. We were very comfortable leaving our puppy with her knowing she was taking the absolute best care of our dog so we could enjoy our vacation without worrying about if the dog was ok. I can’t say enough good things.”
“Eunji and Chanmin are amazing with my dog! They sent tons of pictures and videos every day so I could see what my dog was up to. While I was away the weather got really cold and I didn’t bring a jacket for my dog as I didn’t expect that drastic weather change but they put a jacket they already had on my dog to make sure he was warm which I appreciated. I don’t ever have to worry and have true peace of mind. I know when my dog is with these two he is in good care and I trust them completely. You can tell they really truly love dogs.”
“Choosing Jinny to care for our furry family member was the best decision we made! From the moment we met, their genuine love for dogs was evident. Our pup was treated to daily walks, playtime, and even special treats. We received regular updates and photos, which eased our minds while we were away. With Jinny, we found not just a caregiver, but a true companion for our pet. We highly recommend her services to any dog owner seeking top-notch care and peace of mind.”
“We recently had Yvonne care for our dog, Happy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, Yvonne made Happy feel comfortable and at ease. She shared daily photos and videos, which gave us such peace of mind—we could clearly see how well she was caring for him. Yvonne made sure Happy had regular walks, plenty of attention, and always kept his safety a priority. She was able to change her work schedule and worked from home and this meant Happy was never stressed about being left alone, which made a big difference in his comfort and happiness. She was attentive, easy to talk to, and really listened to the details we shared about Happy’s routine and needs. She handled everything with ease and kept us updated, so we always felt reassured that Happy was in great hands. We are so grateful for the loving care she gave Happy and would absolutely trust her to look after him again in the future.”
“My dog was very well taken care of. From the photos sent throughout her stay, you could clearly see how comfortable she was with them. I highly recommend them. My dog is usually anxious, but she stayed very calm with them, and when I picked her up, she even showed them a lot of affection.”
“Alexander was great with Maisy. It was her first time away from me and he had her for 5 days. Alex took her to the dog park or for nice walks even though it was raining a lot on those days. She really enjoyed playing with his beagle Macy. Would definitely use again and highly recommend. Thanks very much Alexander!!”

“Melinda was great with her drop in Visits with our two cats while we were away. The feedback and photos were very informative and we felt our cats were well cared for in our absence.”
“Jasmine was great and I never had to worry about when she was coming as she always came exactly when expected and stayed the full amount of time we requested her for. I felt assured from her photos that our little guy was loving his visits with her. Will definitely use her again”
“AMAZING!! 2/3 of my cats are very shy and Ana was able to bring them out of their shell and play with them and get some cuddles! Her short visits helped me feel so much better about leaving my kitties for the week while I was in another province. My cats looked sooo happy in all the photos while they were eating and also getting that playtime in! So so so happy with her service. Will definitely rebook in the future if she will have me!!”
“Ava was wonderful! She was extremely attentive when meeting my 2 cats, shared great updates after each visit, and was quick to respond during the booking process. I’d absolutely book with her again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. My family has had dogs of all sizes throughout my entire life, which has allowed me to learn how to keep them safe, happy, and healthy. My family and friends have trusted me with the care of their pets in the past as well. I also have experience with cats, birds, hamsters, hedgehogs, rabbits, and even pigs. I'm available for boarding from 10 AM to 10 PM everyday except for Friday's (and the occasional Sunday). My availability will change in September when my university classes start up again. Making sure that dogs get to explore and sniff to their hearts content is very important to me, as its been found to make them feel more happy and safe. I also have a water bottle for dogs so they can stay hydrated on active and warm days. Ultimately, it's important to me that I respect your pets need for both attention and personal space.
“Mikaila was excellent with our diabetic kitty Ringo. I appreciated the cute updates and photos. Our first experience with Rover and I quite nervous but was a great experience. I do not hesitate to recommend.”
“Cindy is a super friendly and dedicated pet sitter! It was my first time having a pet sitter for my cat as I haven't left her alone for this long of a duration. Despite my cat being stressed and aggressive towards the later visits, Cindy did her best to make sure my cat's supplies and litter were taken care of. She was very professional and very detailed with her pet reports. I could not recommend her more!”
“We really appreciated her patience with Benji. He was very shy and nervous with someone new, but she took her time, sat on the floor to help him feel comfortable, and never rushed him. Even though he wasn't ready for a walk, she made sure he had a chance to go outside and kept us updated throughout the visit. We'd happily book with her again.”
“Thank you again Samantha, ee really appreciate your help, Sara has been in excellent hands, we are always at ease since you have always taken very good care of her and gone beyond to earn her trust. I definitely recommend Samantha as a top sitter.”
“Tammy is a great, caring pet sitter who quickly bonded with my cats and put all my concerns at rest. She genuinely loves all animals. She came when she said she would every single day and made sure my cats were adjusting well to their adjusted routine. I recommend Tammy most highly.”
“Sarah-Beth is fantastic and we will definitely seek out her services again. Our adult cat was in the middle of adjusting to the crazy kitten we had brought into our home and Sarah-Beth navigated it all perfectly. We especially appreciated the fun and reassuring photos and videos and we came home to happy cats.”
“Heather was amazing! We were gone for two weeks over the holidays and she took amazing care of Pickle! We had some mishaps with our automatic feeder and she really went above and beyond to make us feel reassured!”

Please reach out so we can organize and look at both of our calendars! Each animal requires a unique style of care. I care for my pets closely around their personality and most importantly I make exercise, mental stimulation and affection a priority. As well as quality nutrition. I prefer to shy away from unhealthy treats as I value the longevity and health of my pet companions!
About: I've been caring for cats my entire life and have shared my home with my own senior cat for the past 15 years. Through that experience, I've learned how important routine, patience, and attentive care are, especially for older cats. My experience ranges from caring for nursing mother cats and kittens to senior cats with specialized needs. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and whether your cat is social, independent, shy, or anxious, I'll provide compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I'm happy to scoop litter boxes, sweep up tracked litter, refresh food and water, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and help keep your home tidy during visits. For cats who enjoy it, I'm also happy to provide gentle brushing and grooming. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages for added peace of mind.

About: I have a friendly golden retriever, he gets along with dogs of any breed. At any given point of time I house not more than one dog , so that I can give them utmost attention and my love. Including my pet , works to 2 of them in total . Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly routine. I follow consistent schedules for feeding, walks, exercise, and any special care needs. I make sure every pet receives attentive, dependable care tailored to their habits and personality. naturally structure my day around their needs so they feel relaxed and happy I have a completely fenced yard, no other member apart from my golden and me , so your baby gets unconditional love and undivided attention always .I also house not more that 1 dog along with my pet.
“Ana is a complete lifesaver. We had major renovations start in our home earlier than expected and my dog is 14 years old this month. No way I could leave hom at home with strangers making sounds at all hours of the day! She was able to take him in last minute, and provided many updates, photos, and videos throughout the day. Honestly, he is so excited to go he screams when he knows we are almost there. She takes better care of him that I probably do. I highly recommend Ana. She is really nice, takes great care of animals, and clearly loves them. Even my old mop of a boy.”
“Korinna has always been one of Cooper's favorite places to stay. He seems to enjoy the environment and Korinna's company. She is very affordable and always willing to take Cooper when called upon even when I am last minute! 😁”
“I recently started bringing my dog, Matcha, to Ella's house and the experience has been absolutely wonderful. Ella was fantastic about sending regular updates, photos, and videos throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind. It was so reassuring to see exactly how well Matcha was being cared for. The real proof, though, was Matcha’s reaction. She clearly had a fantastic time because the next time we arrived, she walked right inside without looking back. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving to watch your pup, look no further than Ella. Matcha and I will definitely be regulars!”

“Thank you for taking care of Kai. The regular communication and timely updates helped me remain in touch without being physically present—I really appreciated that. :)”
“We were SO happy with the care Umber provided for Maple! She was incredibly responsive and extremely knowledgeable on dog behaviour and training and ensuring our pup felt comfortable and safe in a new environment. Blue and Honey are so sweet and so well behaved and Maple had a ton of fun with them!! She gained two new besties! We would absolutely recommend Umber to anyone.”
“Katrina and Ryan are an amazing couple who provided day sitting to my energetic young lab on a number of occasions. My pup comes home happy, healthy, tired and is eager to return for more fun each time. They provide a safe, loving environment for my pup and report on her daily activities/progress with photos. I trust them and highly recommend them. I will continue to use their services and promote them to others.”

They were also very accommodating and easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet services!”

“We just finished our first two days of daycare with Julie. Tashi took to her right away and was comfortable in the space. Julie asks good questions about a new dog, and is cautious about mixing dogs together until she knows them well. It’s clear she has experience with dogs and cares about them. It’s comforting for me to know that she is taking care to keep the dogs safe and well. Tashi got supervised playtime in the backyard as well as a walk and is relaxed and tired at the end of the day after we got home. We’re happy that we found Julie.”
“I just took my dog for the first time ever to see how he would do. He is almost 16 and has dementia.Andrea tried her best but Gizmo is a tough cookie if I’m not around. I’d absolutely bring him back if he didn’t have dementia it’s a tough thing for a dog and his owner so absolutely tough for someone else. Thank you Andrea for putting Gizmos health first . I appreciate it. Janet”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I treat them like family members. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want to provide reliable, compassionate care when their owners can't be there. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets, and I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I also have experience with shy and anxious pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and earning an animal's trust. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand how important trust and communication are. I'll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident they're happy, safe, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own senior cat and understand the importance of consistency, reliability, and attention to detail when it comes to pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. When caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to follow their routine as closely as possible and provide the attention, exercise, companionship, and care their pet needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I look forward to rather than simply another task on my schedule. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs and preferences. During drop-in visits, I'll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks as needed, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. For cats, I'll also scoop litter boxes and keep their area clean and comfortable. For dogs, I'll provide safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their age, energy level, and abilities. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower-paced stroll with lots of sniffing and exploring, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I am flexible with all my services, including house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I have several years’ experience with dog walking and house sitting (including drop-in style), and I am an athlete so I have the physical strength necessary to handle large dogs. I am currently a professional volleyball player so while I’m not overseas I really enjoy leaving space in my schedule to dog sit! I have completed an internship position at a wildlife rehabilitation facility (WildNorth) and have a degree in conservation biology, so I am very passionate about animals! Growing up with multiple pets, I learned early on how to appreciate and handle them. I have also raised and trained a puppy myself, and I’m an amateur training enthusiast. I would love to meet your pet and I hope you consider me for your pet care needs! I’m currently coaching volleyball part time so I’m typically free most of the time. The longest I typically would have to leave your dog alone is for 2.5 hours when I have a couple coaching sessions. I always communicate clearly what the expectations are for care, such as how your dog is on leash, if I need to watch for any escape artists, or any other concerns or quirks your dog may have!

“Jill provided a calm, comforting space for our two dogs while we were traveling over the holidays. As it happens our golden retriever celebrated her first birthday on the day we left and that evening Jill sent us photos from a sweet little birthday party she threw for them (cake, photo backdrop, the works!). We received daily updates and photos of our pups enjoying play time and living their best lives. We picked up two happy pups that were clearly well cared for in our absence. Thank you Jill for providing exceptional care for our babies!”
“Katrina, Ryan, and Rocky made leaving Artemis for a week a breeze! Even as an only dog at home, it was nice to have another one to show him the ropes. I appreciated the pictures and updates. He was happy to see me at pick up but also wanted both of us to stay! I'd happily board him with them again”

We highly recommend her services. 👍”
“This was my cherished Ernie’s first time spending multiple days apart from me. I could not have asked for a better sitter to open up their home to him. Terry made sure that Ernie felt comfortable and gave him time, care and attention while he adjusted to his new surroundings. Terry provided updates on how Ernie was doing which ultimately relieved the stress of worrying about is well being. It was heartwarming to see my smiling dog being himself while I was away. I came back to a happy, healthy dog and a sitter who genuinely enjoyed his time with Ernie. Communication was great and I would not hesitate to rebook should I require sitting in the future.”
“Choosing Jinny to care for our furry family member was the best decision we made! From the moment we met, their genuine love for dogs was evident. Our pup was treated to daily walks, playtime, and even special treats. We received regular updates and photos, which eased our minds while we were away. With Jinny, we found not just a caregiver, but a true companion for our pet. We highly recommend her services to any dog owner seeking top-notch care and peace of mind.”
“My dog was very well taken care of. From the photos sent throughout her stay, you could clearly see how comfortable she was with them. I highly recommend them. My dog is usually anxious, but she stayed very calm with them, and when I picked her up, she even showed them a lot of affection.”
“Again Trish and her wonderful and caring family pulled through allowing to to leave the country for over a week knowing our babies are well taken care of with videos and pics sent frequently. SUPER TRISH!!!”
“Vanessa was great with Ringo , Ringo could be a challenging at times but Vanessa welcomed him with opened and caring arms , I would use Vanessa’s services again , she takes care of animals like they were her own , can’t say enough good things . Thanks again Vanessa , your awesome 🥰”
“Karen and Dan were absolutely great at accommodating us and worked with our timing. They treated our pups like part of the family and made sure they were happy, safe, and loved the entire time. Their home is super welcoming and perfect for pups. We’ll definitely be booking with them again — highly recommend! 🐶💛”
“Our Sully had the best of times staying with Andrea and her family! He had people and dogs around him all the time while we were away. He came home happy, healthy and very tired, an indication of the great stay he had. Would definitely have Sully stay there again!”
