I was very happy to know that Mia was in good hands while we had a weekend away. Actually was later than expected and Cynthia was super cool about picking her up whenever I got there. No stress at all. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you very much!

Veronica took amazing care of my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. I would trust her again without a second thought. Oreo is a very energetic puppy, and she did an excellent job handling him. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him, and he had a great time. Highly recommend!

This was our Dog's first time staying with a sitter, and we were honestly nervous about using Rover. We had tried other sitters for a fit, but she never connected with them. With our trip coming up, we found Shelly and her family at the very last minute and didn’t even have time for a meet‑and‑greet. What immediately drew us in was that they had young kids even more than having their own dogs because she absolutely loves children. We knew the transition would be hard for her, but Shelly and her family went above and beyond. They sent us daily updates, were incredibly patient, and gave her the space she needed. Over time, she warmed up and even started going on walks with them after 3days of not going on a walk, She quickly transitioned to 4 walks in a day. Shelly was reassuring throughout, reminding us that given her age, this adjustment was completely normal, and that by her third stay she’d likely be even more comfortable. I would recommend Shelly and her family over and over again.

They sent me consistent videos and updates which was really nice. Also I really like their house because it’s designed for dogs with multiple fenced backyard areas. I recommend them to anyone looking for a caring sitter.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and giving medication when needed. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. There are two people in my household, so there is almost always someone at home to supervise and take care of the dogs. Even if we go out, it is never for very long, so your pet will not be left alone for extended periods. I can take dogs on daily walks and also bring them to nearby parks so they can get exercise and enjoy the outdoors. I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I only accept a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each dog receives enough care and attention. I will treat every dog like my own and do my best to make them feel happy and comfortable while staying with me. I am a student at McMaster University and spend most of my time at home. I do not need to go to campus very often, and even when I do, I am usually not away for long periods of time. I personally provide all care for pets in my home, including feeding, walking, supervision, and attention. Your dog will not be left alone for long periods, and I will make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I truly love dogs and have experience caring for pets. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for all pets in my home. I always supervise dogs closely and make sure they are never left alone for long periods of time. I follow each dog’s routine and any instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and special care requirements. I also make sure the environment is secure and free of hazards. If any issues arise, I will communicate with the owner right away and handle the situation responsibly. My priority is always to ensure that every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

I can not say how grateful we are for their care of our beloved boys. I received daily updates while traveling and pictures to reassure the boys were happy and comfortable with Bill & Tracy. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a caring environment to leave their loved ones in. I am very thankful for the reviews of others and I hope this also helps the next worried parents to be assured that your loved ones will be in good hands with Bill & Tracy. Best wishes to them and I will use them again in the future.

Their communication throughout was excellent, sending me regular updates and pictures, which really reassured me while I was away. Laika seemed so happy and well cared for during her stay with them. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters.

Adriana watched our golden retriever for two days and we are very happy! Adriana’s communication was great and her updates and photos were so appreciated! Our Maple had the best time with Adriana and made fast friends with her dog Molly. Maple was well taken care of and we’ll definitely use Adriana again.

We had a wonderful experience! Barbara was so friendly, warm, and welcoming. She even met with us in advance of our booking, which gave us so much peace of mind considering this was our first time using Rover. During the 5 days our dog Franklin was with her, Barb communicated often and sent updates, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, our dog seemed to have a great time! Would definitely recommend and book again.

This was my first time booking with Viktoriya, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! My two young Frenchies had an amazing time — they came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. Viktoriya was incredibly punctual and professional, and I really appreciated the updates she sent while I was away. It made such a difference knowing they were in good hands. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the near future!
