“This was my dog’s second time staying with Alexandria longterm while I was away on vacation. He became unwell mid-trip and she was quick to update me, took the day off work to monitor his condition, and took him to his vet. As a former Guide Dog Mobility Instructor and Rover sitter, I’m always so impressed with and grateful for her. I always trust she’ll take good care of my boy.”

“I couldn’t have been happier with Sully’s stay! Leslie and her husband were both so kind and took such wonderful care of him, which made leaving my little guy for the week so much easier. I really appreciated the updates and could tell Sully was happy, comfortable and very well loved while he was there. I’m so grateful to have found them and would absolutely leave Sully with them again! 🤍”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and people in my community. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, keeping pets company, and following each dog’s individual routine and needs. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate different pet-care needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on the dates and care required. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment and I’m home for most of the day, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship. I don’t have any pets or children in my home, creating a calm environment that can be especially comfortable for puppies. I also live very close to a dog park and enjoy giving dogs plenty of opportunities for exercise and outdoor time, when appropriate and with the owner’s approval. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages while they’re in my care.

“Liz was great with Stormi. She was very flexible when our schedule changed. Stormi was a little bored when she got back home, we will definitely use Liz again”

“Rita, is absolutely amazing! She helped me with caring for my dog vastly. Penny, was well cared for during her stay. Rita was exceptionally kind and caring. Rita took picture updates of Penny through out her stay, which left me worry-free. When I arrived to pick up Penny, she was jovial and happy and Rita was so kind in giving us helpful treats to take with us. I cannot recommend Rita enough!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the personal experience and dedication I bring as Enzo’s mom. Caring for a French Bulldog has taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s handling the energy of a playful pup, managing breed-specific quirks, or providing comfort and care to senior dogs, I’ve done it all with love and care. I’m also great at creating structured routines, training basic commands, and ensuring pets feel safe and happy in any environment. With me, your pet gets the same love, attention, and respect that I give to Enzo—because every furry friend deserves nothing less! As someone working part-time, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate focused time to caring for pets, ensuring they get the attention, love, and activity they need. I plan my day around walks, playtime, feeding, and any specific care instructions you provide. Whether it’s midday visits, morning strolls, or evening cuddles, I ensure each pet feels cared for and happy while you’re away. Caring for pets, just like I do for Enzo, is more than a task—it’s a joy and a priority in my life In my home: I create a warm, safe, and fun environment where your pet can feel relaxed and loved. With plenty of playtime, cozy spots to rest, and lots of attention, I treat every pet like family—just like I do with Enzo. I follow any special routines or dietary needs closely to keep your pet comfortable and happy. In your home: I respect your pet’s space and routine, making sure to maintain their normal habits to reduce stress. I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship while you’re away. I keep your home secure and clean, updating you regularly so you have peace of mind. No matter where the care happens, your pet’s happiness and well-being always come first!

About: I have a dog and two cats and they are my children. I love to play with pets (including frisbee throwing, catch, tug of war). I love to go for long walks outside and don’t mind walking for long periods of time. I also like to hike and go in forests. I believe that animals are very capable of communication and pay special attention to what they are trying to tell me. I focus on body language. I also make sure to always check the weather before taking pets outside of the house and make sure that I bring the appropriate care items along (such as water bottles, sweaters, poop bags). I am very punctual and tend to be early to appointments. I am reliable and rarely am sick. I look forward to meeting you and your animal companions! I work a full time job, but get holidays and the summer off. I also get all weekends off and love to stay busy. I am available for check-ins and walks in the afternoons/evenings and on the weekends. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves all other animals. I follow all requests made by the owner and communicate as much as possible.

“Daniella was a very caring and conscientious sitter for our dog Lily. Thank you Daniella!”

“This was our first time leaving Stella with someone other than family and Mariana was amazing! She took wonderful care of our golden retriever, sending us lots of pictures and updates. Stella was treated just like family.”

“My cat Littles stayed with Jiale for 12 nights. Jiale made sure Littles had a safe space from her own kitty, gave lots of pets, and sent me updates with pictures and videos. Usually, after a typical boarding place, Littles comes home agitated and starving for affection, but after staying with Jiale she came back home calm and content - I think she liked the stay.”

About: I'm new to Rover, but I've been a dog parent for over 35 years and have been dog sitting for my family and friends as long. Saffy, my Golden/Lab cross is 4, and Ruby, my terrier mix is 13 now. We walk daily with two Golden Doodles, Cosmo and Milo, who we consider part of our pack. My dogs are great with other dogs big or small. Our yard is fenced, and we're next to woods that have great trails with lots to sniff! My dogs are accustomed to a daily routine and can tell time. We walk once or twice daily, they have their breakfast after their morning pee, dinner at 6pm, and a snack after the last pee before bed. They hang out with me or nap during the day and we have playtime after dinner. My dogs have free access to the house and back yard. Ruby has a doggy door and Saffy uses a doggy doorbell to be let in or out. They typically hang out with me but each have their favourite napping spots. Both of my dogs were crate trained and while we don't use them anymore, I do have them available if needed. New doggie guests are closely supervised until we all get to know one another!

“Paige saved the day! We live 3 hours away from a cottage we rented in Zurich and upon arrival at the cottage, it turns out we are not allowed pets. We contacted Paige and she was kind enough to host our old dog, Sushi for the weekend on very short notice. She took really good care of him, and stayed in touch the whole time. Her communication is timely and clear. Really appreciated her help and would gladly recommend her to everyone I know.”

“Salsa and Pepper had an amazing time!! Will definitely book again with Yarinka. Thank you so much to you and your family for taking care of our fur babies 🐾”

Joyce S.

“We could tell Oakley absolutely loved Andre and Michelle! They requested a meet and greet beforehand to ensure Oakley was familiar with them before his stay. They were both very communicative, asked questions to better care for Oakley, and were both so kind. I would highly recommend these two to anyone looking for the best care for their pets! We will definitely be repeat clients!”

“Thanks Alejandra for taking such thoughtful care of our Ernie. We really appreciated your excellent communication and checking in with photos and videos. I loved knowing Ernie was part of your family during his stay. ♥️🐶🐾”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! Sarah went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, happy, and loved while we were away. We received regular updates and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home relaxed, well cared for, and maybe even a little disappointed to leave! We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely amazing with pets.”

About: Hey - I'm Virginia, and I would be honored to help take care of your pet! I provide most services including walks, drop in visits, house pet sitting, boarding, and day care, and I am also happy to discuss unique options. I have a flexible, work from home schedule. I have the most experience with dogs, including formal dog training skills, working at various veterinary clinics and of course, lots of dog walking. I am comfortable with almost all kinds of dogs and can handle reactivity, large dogs/working breeds, energetic personalities, or particular health/social needs. I will keep you well updated during the visit. Please feel free to ask any questions! I am available most days except Sundays and have a flexible schedule. So, I'll be able to keep a close eye on and give attentive care for your pet. I care for pets by looking out on their behalf. I will ask you for information regarding their needs, behaviour, health, routine, and favorite activities. During walks, I keep them away from other people and animals who we don't know. I ensure they are hydrated and not stressed. I also maintain a calm demeanor, and I am very proactive in making decisions for their comfort and safety. For boarding, my house is very quiet, which would be a plus for any dogs who have reactivity.

“Our dog Zooma had a great stay! Our thanks go to Shelby for providing a wonderful, loving stay-cation for our dog. I highly recommend Shelby.”
