“Maria is wonderful! She watched our dog for 5 days while we were away and sent many pictures and updates. Mipha came home happy and pooped! We are very grateful to have found someone so close by who can take such wonderful care of our dog!”
“Don't like leaving Maxy, but after a few visits with Stacey especially for the past 8 nights, I find him to be well looked after and doesn't seem bothered about being left in Staceys good hands. I got regular updates and photos which is very reassuring. Tks Stacey”
“Honeylyn did an amazing job with my fur baby. I left my bichon frise overnight and felt like I never left Cloud at all since she sent me loads of pictures and a video. My Cloud loves her and her beautiful daughters. Will definitely come back and refer to my friends.”
“Hayley was great from the day of the meet and greet, the entire stay and during pick up. She asked all of the necessary questions and what-if questions that a great sitter should ask. There was constant communication, updates, photos and all relevant info was passed on to us a regular basis through the entire stay. Whisky instantly took a liking to Hayley at the meet and greet and during drop off, 10/10 would recommend Hayley and we will definitely be using her services for Whisky’s next Rover stay.”
““Cecily took excellent care of our dog for four days while we were in Montreal. She walked him regularly, let him roam around the house like his own, used the leash properly, and shared photos with us. I’d100% recommend Cecily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter.””
“Melissa and her family took such amazing care of Murphy! She sent us daily pictures of him fitting in perfectly with everyone including her own dog. It was our first time leaving him and she put our minds at ease that he was loved and cared for. We can’t recommend her enough! We would definitely leave Murphy in her care again. He had a great time!”
“So amazing Jax had a great time and i myself say these two are a godsend. Thanks so much for making feel a big part of your home. Sending love ❤️ hugs 🫂 and blessings. Jax s mum.”
“Karen was really amazing at taking care of Lucky. Being the first time we were boarding Lucky, she was very communicative and reassuring right from the beginning. We got informed of how Lucky was doing regular intervals, especially initially to assure us he was doing well and got many pictures and videos. Lucky got very comfortable with them really fast and settled down with them in no time, which is to say something. We definitely recommend Karen if you are looking to board your pets, and will definitely consider her in the future.”
“Ver ly pleased with the care our puppy received from Jessica. She provided constant updates and photos and it was clear our pup got plenty of playtime, and when I picked him up he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Jessica was prompt and professional in all communication. An excellent experience all around”
“I am confident that my dog Carly is happy and will be well taken care of when she’s with Leanne. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was in good hands. Leanne is always my first choice border to leave my dog with when I’m away. Thank you again for the wonderful care!!”
“We're super happy with the care they provided. Our dog had lots of play times, walks at parks and by the water, and they sent tons of pics of him enjoying adventures. They are clearly dog lovers and spoiled him. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot say enough about how phenomenal Nikki and Deven were in caring for our miniature Schnauzer, Jack, for two weeks. They kindly arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand and kept us updated throughout his stay with so many thoughtful messages and photos. It was abundantly clear that Jack received exceptional care, with plenty of walks, stimulation, activities and affection. His stay was like a bespoke puppy summer camp, and he has been sulking a little since coming home! If you’re looking for wonderful, trustworthy dog care, look no further. Nikki and Deven clearly care deeply about animals, and our whole family is incredibly grateful for the love and attention they gave Jack. They will absolutely be our first call whenever we need dog care again. Thank you so much again Nikki and Deven!!!”
About: Hi! I’m Karina, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals, especially dogs. Dogs have a special way of bringing me back to calm, connection and joy. I truly believe every dog has their own personality, story and unique way of speaking to your soul. ❤️ I love caring for animals with all kinds of needs, and I have a special soft spot for the ones who need a little extra TLC. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals who have experienced abandonment, neglect, anxiety and fear, and I’ve always loved finding ways to help them feel safe, build trust and create a special bond. Seeing an animal overcome a fear, become more confident and experience life a little more fully brings me so much happiness. Every animal deserves to feel safe, loved and happy! My experience comes from all the amazing animals who have crossed my path with different personalities and needs. I’ve cared for anxious, fearful and reactive dogs, as well as plenty of happy, easygoing pups who simply want to walk, play, explore and soak up some attention. I always approach each dog with patience, positive reinforcement, respect and lots of love. Within my family, circle of friends and neighbourhood community, I’ve naturally become the go-to person for dog sitting, check-ins and plenty of extra TLC. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love being available when people need someone they trust. And if I’m at a social gathering and there’s a dog in the room… well, that’s my new buddy! 😂🐶 I’m usually the person saying hello, giving them some attention and getting to know them. I love taking dogs on walks and little adventures, watching them explore, sniff, play and experience new things. I also enjoy giving them one-on-one relaxation and pampering time, including gentle stretching, massage and wellness care. Dogs give us so much love, and I think they deserve plenty of time to relax and be spoiled, too! My background also includes working with children with special needs, seniors and foster care, which has taught me to be especially nurturing, patient and attentive to individual needs. I have a current broad police check and take the trust that comes with caring for someone’s beloved pet very seriously. My services include: • Dog walking and adventure walks • Dog visits and companionship • Wellness and check-in visits • At-home pampering and relaxation • Gentle stretching and massage • Personalized care for anxious, fearful or reactive dogs I don’t just want to care for your dog — I want them to feel cared for, understood and loved. ❤️ If your dog loves attention, affection, adventure and being doted on, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 I am a stay-at-home mom with a lot of availability and flexibility. I enjoy being out and traveling, and what better way to be busy than playing with pets! I have a fenced yard and a comfortable, pet-friendly home where dogs can feel safe, relaxed and cared for. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their own home, I take the time to get to know them and pay attention to their body language, energy and behaviour so I can understand what they may need. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to make reasonable adjustments to help them feel comfortable. If a dog is anxious, nervous or overwhelmed, I’ll adjust my approach and environment to help them settle in. If they’re playful and adventurous, I’m happy to keep them engaged and active. And if they simply want to relax beside me and receive some extra love and attention, I’m more than happy to spoil them! I aim to provide thoughtful, personalized care based on each pet’s personality and comfort level. My goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, happy and cared for while you’re away, with plenty of patience, affection and attention along the way. 🐾❤️
“Melissa & Nigel are a wonderful duo, who took amazing care of Winnie for her first stay away from home. They took special care to ensure she/we were comfortable and highlighted all her activities through wonderful photos, which included lots of playtime, walks and belly rubs. Planning to have her stay with them again.”
“Monica is very nice and accommodating, and Winston had a great time staying with her! She made sure Winston was comfortable and happy, and we had no worries while he was sim her care. Thanks Monica!!”
“Ankur and Krupa did an excellent job taking care of my dog! They communicated very well throughout the day and regularly sent me photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. When I picked up my dog, they also took the time to explain everything about his day, including what he ate, whether he pooped, and how he was doing overall. It was clear that they genuinely cared for him and paid close attention to his needs. I really appreciate their care, communication, and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Ankur and Krupa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!”
“Caroline is great with dogs and took great care of our baby while we were away. She has a great fenced in yard with lots of lawn and a nice neighbourhood for walks. We will be using her again for sure!”
“Xintian and her husband did a wonderful job of looking after our 9 month old puppy. Chelsea is still hyper. They walked her 2x a day and gave her lots of opportunities to play outside with their doggie! This was our first time leaving Chelsea and we are very pleased with how they looked after her!”
“Mira and Charles did a great job with Thibault when we were away on vacation! Thibault seemed extremely happy with his stay and they took great care of him! We would highly recommend Mira and Charles!”
“This was our 4th time leaving Rio with them, and it honestly just keeps getting easier every time. They always send updates, photos, and little messages, which means a lot and helps us relax while we’re away. What really stands out is how much they genuinely care Rio always looks like he’s having the best time, not just being looked after. It’s such a nice feeling knowing he’s happy and comfortable with them. We always come back to a calm, happy dog, and that says everything. Really grateful to have found someone we trust with Rio!”

Aliya did amazing with our senior German shepherd! Our doggo typically has a hard time acclimating into new environments, but she got comfortable very quickly and we could tell she was very well taken care of during her stay. Aliya did the best job providing us with exhaustive updates daily, and following our complicated feeding instructions. Good to know our doggo has a home away from home :)
Hayley was a great dog sitter for our boy Lou. We initially had a meet and greet which went well. When we dropped Lou off a couple of weeks later, he was so excited to see her again. She sent lots of updates and pics. She even dropped Louie off after. 10/10 would book again.
Thank you again Melissa and Nigel for your taking such good care of our Ekko. We were delighted to see that he had some great interaction with some other dogs. This was one of his longer stays, so it meant a lot to us knowing he was happy and comfortable. We’re grateful for your continued care of our boy.
Stacey, we are so grateful for the wonderful care you gave our dog! Thank you Stacey was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was so attentive and caring, kept us updated, and sent us pictures throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. It was clear that he was treated so well and was happy and comfortable with her. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in Stacey’s care and would definitely have her look after him again! ❤️
This was the first time I boarded my 4-month old puppy, Tilly. She did pretty good considering it was her first time away from us. She had a few accidents in the house, but Karen was completely understanding. Karen did everything to make Tilly's stay as comfortable in as possible and to comfort her so she wasn't missing us too much. I highly recommend Karen for your daycare/boarding needs.
Everything happens for a reason and I’m so thankful to have found Lisseth as a sitter for my dog and kitten. I only had a few days to find a sitter as a previously booked one had to cancel and Lisseth graciously accepted my last minute request. She is kind, friendly and patient and my pets were given excellent care. I received pictures and videos of my pets and I honestly can’t even put into words how wonderful of a sitter Lisseth is. I am forever grateful ❤️
We’ve had Jackson stay with Erin twice now, and both experiences have been wonderful. We were honestly a little skeptical about whether Jackson would be comfortable staying overnight, especially after a less-than-great experience with another Rover sitter back in 2022. But Erin completely changed that. Jackson settled in quickly, was very comfortable with Erin, her family, and her dog Callie, and clearly enjoyed his stays. We’re planning a three-week trip to India next year, so we wanted to find someone Jackson could get comfortable with well in advance. After these two stays, we feel we’ve found the right person. We’ll be having him stay with Erin regularly so her home can become his comfortable “second home.” Erin has been fantastic with Jackson, and we highly recommend her!
Mandeep was fantastic with our dog! He took great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. Our dog seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we picked him up. Mandeep was friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. We would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him!
Yvonne and Troy were wonderful with my 2 dogs. They provided a special care for my senior dog that required a lot os attention. They were communicating with me providing updates and handle my other anxious dog with lots of love. We were really happy with all and my dogs too. Thank you 🙏 both.
I’m really happy with the care my puppy received. Carlo spent a lot of time with her, took her on walks, and made sure she wasn’t left alone feeling lonely. It was obvious that he genuinely cared about her well-being, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She came home happy and relaxed. I’d definitely trust him with her again. Thank you!
She was our first dog sitter through the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took such great care of our dog, and we could tell Jasper had a fantastic time while we were away. She also kept us updated with texts, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would definitely love to book her again in the future!
