Linda was absolutely amazing. She is very sweet and has such good, calming energy, my dog took to her right away. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It truly felt like she loved my dog as if he were her own. Such a kind & caring person, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend.

"We recently had the pleasure of having Mark looked after our beloved dog for a week. Their genuine love for animals and professionalism exceeded our expectations. Our dog immediately felt at ease in their care, and we received regular updates and photos showing the fun adventures they shared together. We returned home to a happy and well-cared-for pup, and couldn't have asked for a better experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive dog sitter."

Angela and her family took great care of Neko! It was clear they made him feel at home and I was very comfortable leaving him in her care. I definitely recommend Angela to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment to leave their fur baby!

Jayne was fantastic and took great care of Leia. She provided regular updates and photos, and it looked like Leia was having a blast! She was also super flexible when we had to extend Leia’s length of stay by a day.

Jeremy and Rachael were very accommodating and communicative, always responding to messages quickly and moving schedules around to accommodate. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with them and she seemed to have a great time! They made sure she got lots of time to run around and play outside and sent updates regularly. I would definitely recommend them!

Bruno stayed with Megan for a month, and I couldn’t recommend Megan enough. I was stressed about leaving him for a month, but Megan made the whole experience completely stress-free, and I never had to worry at all. They regularly sent me pictures and updates. Bruno also became best friends with their dog, Ella, who is so sweet hearted, which made his stay even better. Their family was lovely as well, and they treated him as part of the family. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I’m so glad to know Bruno has a second home. I will definitely book again if we go on another trip or if something comes up. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

Huge thanks to Eliza for keeping up with Nikki! She’s a spunky girl with a lot of energy, and she handled her perfectly. Nikki came home happy and tuckered out. If you're looking for someone who truly understands and cares for dogs, this is the person!

I am very sensitive when it comes to my dog, Napoleon—a small, lovely Chihuahua who means the world to me. It was important for me to find someone who would watch him closely and care for him with attention and kindness. After searching through many profiles, I chose Alfonso, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Alfonso kept me updated daily, making me feel at ease while I was away. He took great care of Napoleon, ensuring he was safe, comfortable, and well looked after. When I returned, I could see that Napoleon liked him and felt completely at ease with him. Alfonso is truly caring and attentive—you can trust him to take excellent care of your pet!

About: Hi! I’m a big animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had a rescued Beagle named Murphy for three years, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and sticking to each pet’s routine. Murphy had a weed allergy, occasional ear infections, and underwent knee surgery that required months of recovery, so I’m familiar with managing special needs, medication routines, and post-surgery care. I’ve also cared for dogs and cats for friends for many years, helping with everything from meals and litter boxes to cuddles, companionship, and maintaining routines while owners are away. I believe in a calm, structured approach to pet care—making sure dogs get proper exercise and routine first, followed by affection once they’re relaxed and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own and always focus on helping them feel safe, balanced, and loved. My home is a welcoming and loving environment for boarding dogs, complete with a friendly furry companion and a fenced backyard with plenty of room to play and run. Pets staying with me are treated like family and are welcome to relax on the bed or sofa, enjoying lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I take hygiene seriously—my home is smoke-free and scent-free, with high-quality air filtration to maintain a clean and comfortable space. Dogs receive 3 to 5 daily walks, adjusted to their needs, along with daily brushing, cleaning after walks, and baths if required. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding instructions and can accommodate special dietary needs to ensure your pet stays healthy and happy during their stay. I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to reach out anytime! I’m always happy to answer questions or set up a meet-and-greet. My wife and I are working from allowing us to care for your furry baby. Pet care is a central part of our daily routine. My wife and I plan our schedule around the pets in our care to ensure they receive consistent walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. We’re home most of the time, which allows us to provide regular supervision, maintain routines, and respond quickly to each pet’s needs. Daily walks, outdoor time, and quiet rest periods are spaced out to keep pets balanced, comfortable, and relaxed. Safety and comfort are our top priorities. My wife and I provide a calm, structured environment where pets feel secure, whether in our home or yours. For boarding at our home, we have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space inside to relax. We supervise all pets closely, separate them when needed, and follow each owner’s specific instructions for feeding, medication, or special needs. We maintain a clean, smoke- and scent-free home with high-quality air filtration, and we handle walks, playtime, and rest periods in a way that keeps pets balanced and happy. Trust is important to us, so we communicate regularly with owners, providing updates and photos to make sure you know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for.

Christy was amazing as per usual. While away on an extended trip we received ongoing photos and updates on how Rocky was doing. She even made our return home so much easier by dropping rocky off at our house so once we were home we could relax and spend time with him without traveling all over. She truly makes Rocky feel apart of their family and it's so nice knowing he has a great second home when we go away

May and Family are truly exceptional. When my flight was canceled due to the Air Canada strike, I was suddenly stuck and scrambling—but May stepped in like a guardian angel. One of my dogs had just come out of surgery a couple weeks earlier and was on a complicated medication schedule, and she handled it all with absolute care and precision. Not only did she make sure both my dogs were safe, comfortable, and well cared for, but she also sent me daily pictures that brought so much peace of mind. Seeing their happy faces while I was stranded was everything. Her hopeful attitude and calm presence turned a stressful situation into something manageable—and even heartwarming. May doesn’t just walk dogs—she shows up for them (and their humans) in every way that matters. I’m endlessly grateful and couldn’t recommend her more.

What can I say other than a fabulous care giver. Her two dogs bonded with my French bulldog and shipoo. They followed her around, they slept in her bed with her doggies. I have photos of them playing with my doggies. All four dogs had personalities that one matched one doggie of hers and same with the other. My dogs showed happiness to see me on pick up but my shipoo ran to me and back to Kelley. I saw them playing with their own toys I brought. Really the transition was not far off by how I take care of them. It was a pairing made in heaven. My doggies were on vacation too! Kelley deeply cared for my dogs welfare. So from one nurse (me), to another retired nurse, Kelley, you win the award of the year for best care. I bough to you. Bravo. Hope to see you again. Xoxo

About: I've had dogs in my life ever since I was a kid! I love them more than anything. I now have a dog of my own and often dog sit for all my family members. I work from home so I will always be available for play time and walks! My hours usually end pretty early for longer walks and hikes if needed. I have a calm and affectionate pup for company! She's never met another dog that she doesn't get along with. Puppy friends for the win!

Pei went absolutely above and beyond in caring for my dog, Louisa. Louisa is a nervous mastiff and can be quite particular, so finding someone I trust with her is no small thing, and Pei exceeded every expectation. From the start, Pei created such a calm and welcoming environment. Louisa was given the time and space she needed to settle in at her own pace, and it was clear she felt safe to gradually explore, enjoy the trails, and grow more comfortable each day. Pei kept me consistently updated, which gave me huge peace of mind. The updates were thorough, reassuring, and showed not just experience, but genuine care and affection for Louisa. What really stood out was the extra effort and attention to detail. Louisa is an extremely fussy eater, and Pei took the time to make thoughtful adjustments, adding toppings, adapting her meals, and ensuring she stayed well fed and happy. That kind of effort meant so much. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel incredibly relieved and grateful to have found such a wonderful “home away from home” for my sensitive girl.

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!
