About: I have loved animals my entire life. I have taken care of many different types of animals since I was very young. Horses, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits and birds. I have raised and trained two Working Line German Shepherds from puppies, with whom I have trained and competed with in high level obedience. I understand what it takes to have well trained, happy and genetically fulfilled dogs. I am actively going to training seminars and constantly expanding my knowledge. I have worked part time as a dog trainer teaching pet obedience classes. I have also taken online dog training courses, emergency dog first aid and raw fed nutrition courses. My day starts by making sure my dogs needs are met. They are fed, walked, stretched and trained daily. They are groomed multiples times throughout the week and participate in fun activities like tracking, obedience, dock diving and swimming weekly. When your dog boards with me, on our farm, they will be treated with the outmost love, care and respect. I would treat your best friend as I treat my own dogs. They will have access to 5 acres to explore and rest in a peaceful, relaxing environment.
“Carol was a great care taker for our pup. Was helpful before hand to ensure an easy transition of care. Kept us up to date with photos and written updates. Would recommend Carol always! Thanks for all your help.”
“Katrina was wonderful with my dog Rusty. She took him for walks and provided regular updates and photos of how he was doing. I will seek out Katrina’s services again to watch my big dog.”
“Leaving or dog with Gina has been one of the best dog sitting experiences. We can see that Harvey was happy and relaxed. Gina took great care to ensure the well-being of Harvey. We will use Gina again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Skyler had a nice four nights stayed with Marcella. She is very experienced with dogs. Told he was comfortable at her home which is wonderful since it was only the second time Skyler had been away from the family. We also like that Skyler had doggie company during his stay as he likes socializing.”
“10/10! Would definitely recommend & plan to repeat! Joseph & Tina took Zano into their home and showed him so much love & care. It was very evident on pick up that he was confortable and happy with them. They have a safe & fabulous set up with a large, fenced yard. Zano had ample outside time & came home tired. Joe & Tina were excellent! We felt well taken care of from their communication prior to drop off, during Zano's stay & at pick up. They went above & beyond expectations showing the highest regard for ours & Zano's needs, wishes & house rules. They were so considerate, friendly & respectful - I truly have no constructive feedback whatsoever & would 100% recommend.”
“Teresa was the best sitting for my dog! This is our second time having Teresa and she does the extras. Our dog recognized her place when we arrived and was very excited to be there. We are looking forward to our next visit.”
About: Our daughter would like to take the lead. She is new to pet sitting but has a way with all animals. Mom has dog and cat sitting experience from before kids and also had a dog growing up. We are mostly available for weekend jobs. With notice we can usually work a Monday or Friday in. We are open to weekday stays but we work out of the house so it’s a long day for the animals in the house. We have a fenced yard and are open to crate trained or free range animals. Your animals will become part of our family during their stay.
“Jacqueline was amazing. She took such great care of Henry. He loves off leash hikes (he’s super high energy), and she took him everyday. She made me feel like he was in the best care ever. She was super communicative and just so so great. I would recommend her to anyone looking to board their dog!”
“Gail was fantastic with Dolly! She’s incredibly responsive and kind, and it was clear Dolly loved being in her care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Brianne was wonderful taking care of my puppy for three nights. She gave updates everyday and was able to spend one on one time with her everyday. It was Harleys first time away from me and she had a great experience! I don’t hesitate to recommend Brianne for anyone’s fur babies ❤️”
“We loved having Sarah here to look after our cat Hannie. When we got home Hannie was very happy and Sarah kept the house spotless. She really bonded with Hannie and we are so grateful to her for looking after our beloved pet for us for the Easter weekend. I .Highly recommend her to anyone who needs somebody who’s really loving to look after their beloved cat.”
“Tamara did a great job with Fitz and kept me updated while on my trip. Very accommodating and gave him a lot of love! Made it easier to enjoy the trip and now know someone in the area who can watch him! Thanks again, Tamara!”

“Brooke and James did a great job of taking care of our senior kitty, Darian! They were pleasant during the meet and greet and helped make our first experience with Rover not as stressful. The cute daily updates were very much appreciated and brought a smile to our faces. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about a thing at home. We would highly recommend Brooke and James to others.”
“Laura was responsive, flexible, and thorough. She took great care of my kitties (including vacuuming up their messes!) and provided photos of them enjoying her company. Would book with her again in a heartbeat.”
“Carly was fantastic! Our older cat was very well taken care of while we were away and hardly seemed to have missed us at all! We would definitely ask Carly to take care of our cat again.”
“Morgan went above and beyond our expectations. She is a genuine animal lover and it is so evident. We have two demanding male cats and a senior female cat who has special needs. We came home to happy and well fed kitties - not to mention a very clean house. Morgan stayed in contact with us while we were away with lots of photos. Any concerns we had were non-existent as we realized what a responsible and caring person Morgan is. Would not hesitate to recommend her and we will definitely ask her again to pet sit.”

“I was so reluctant to use Rover but then I found Shelly! Now I’m reluctant to leave this review because I don’t want her to get too busy and not be available but she deserves a glowing reference from me. Shelly, is absolutely the best and I feel so blessed to have found her…she is experienced with all their meds, loving and reliable. I highly recommend her as a caregiver. A+++ (and I don’t leave this review lightly….I am very particular when it comes to my babies )”

“We are very happy with the care Gina provided for Lacey. This was her first visit, and Gina took care to introduce her gradually to the other dogs. Because Lacey has been with us only a few months, we appreciate Gina’s care and expertise. We definitely plan to have Gina care for Lacey again.”
“Marcella was fantastic! She took my little dog on short notice and I felt comfortable with her right away. Her home is beautiful, welcoming, and clearly set up with dogs in mind. Her dog Winston is incredibly sweet and friendly, and was great with my little guy from the moment they met. It’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs and has lots of experience with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pup with her again and will definitely be using her services in the future.”

About: I have worked in animal medicine for 27 years and owned/operated my own pet sitting business. I love all animals and have cared for birds, pocket pets, dog and cats. I am comfortable giving oral/topical and injections (ex. Insulin). Two years ago I spent a year getting certified in animal hospice and palliative care. I know leaving a little old timer at home is stressful and requires someone with advanced caregiving skills. I welcome dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents and small reptiles. I am working from home. Animals who are cared for in our home are rarely alone. I can be available for visits during daytime or evenings. I have a quarter acre fenced yard. We have a pug named Bruce and a border collie named Biscuit. We live in a bi-level home in a quiet neighbourhood close to hiking trails that we frequent often. Pocket pets enjoy their own room and birds are upstairs with outdoor lookout.

About: I’m a born a dog lover 🐾 How much dogs mean to us? They’re more than dogs, they’re family members. I know how difficult it can be to find a safe and caring sitter, that’s where I come in :) My schedule is quite flexible right now and I am working mostly from my computer 3 days a week 9-5 at most. I’ve been really enjoying using Rover to make a bit of extra income in the side while I help my Mom with her farm & market business venture. That being said I might not always be available when you want me :( send me a message to see if I can help you out. 🐾 I take any special instructions seriously. I will only feed them what and when you’d like. I will socialize how much or how little you want them socialized. I generally only take one dog or one family at a time to ensure the most personalized care. Special circumstances I can take 2 dogs or 2 different families pets at a time. This is a farmstead and there are other dogs that live nearby but everyone gets along and is up to date vaccinated 🐾
