About: I have had a dog or taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Family, neighbours and friends have all relied on me to help take care of their pets for many years. I am a huge animal lover and a health care worker and will always provide the best and safest care for your pup. Recently I have fostered some dogs through a local rescue and helped them find their new home. I have learned alot about behaviours and training with these pups. We love to play in the yard or go for walks, and have lots of snuggles on the couch :) I currently work part time so have lots of time available to spend with your dog! My flexible schedule allows me to board your pet overnight any day of the week, or drop in for visits/walks. I have a fenced back yard and two small dogs to keep your fur baby company! Your dog is welcome to treat our home as their own and I will give them lots of love and be devoted to their happiness and well being while you are away.
“As always, Lauren is amazing with Milanesa. She is so happy staying with her and her family. Milanesa has so much fun and feels very loved every time she stays with Lauren. We will definitely repeat next time.”
“Thank you Haley and Mark for taking such good care of Riley. He had a blast with his new friend Nova. The pictures you shared with us confirmed that Riley was happy and safe. Thank you for the hikes and for letting him share the couch with Nova!! We will definitely recommend you to our friends and Riley will likely be returning for a visit or two before were return home to Ottawa in the Spring. Cheers.”
“Overall amazing service, she was able to get us in on short notice as well as accommodating to our last minute changes. We were kept in the loop and received updates. Our pup cleo was over the moon happy! Thank you again!”
“Mickey came home from his overnight stay with Janice and Bear completely exhausted. The dogs played nonstop so Mickey was in his glory. A tired dog is a happy dog! Thanks Janice and Bear!!”
“Shane was a very caring dog sitter. Teddy stayed with her as we head on a prolonged trip. She kept us fully up to date every day and seemed to bond with him very well. I would recommend this sitter to anyone. Thank you Shane!”
“Amazing!!!! I could tell Charlie felt so welcomed and loved for his stay. I will definitely leave Charlie with Kelly and Natalie again. In fact he’s already booked!”
“I have a badly behaved cat and an old cat—and Yuet Pao took perfect care of both of them! I don’t think they wanted to come home. Both seem to have fallen in love with her. I am a very happy Cat Mom!”
“My dog Odis was well taken care of. When we came back after 2 weeks he was very happy and healthy. He became part of their family and fit in very well. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him.”
“Sara was absolutely amazing with Leela! We could not have asked for a better sitter while we were away for a couple of weeks. She gave us updates with pictures and videos every day. She was responsive, attentive and you can tell she really loves caring for your pup!! Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you Sara !!”
“Coraline and Valentin were wonderful! Friendly, flexible, compassionate, and obviously Robby was very comfortable with them. Thank you! Hopefully we'll see you again!”
“Jessica was great with Kira! I felt confident in leaving her there, she was very quick in responding and Kira was happy after a couple of days with Jessica. Its great she has a fenced yard where dogs can roam around safely.”
“Maggie was with Terry for a week and I usually worry because she is anxious around new people and being left but what a time she had! She seemed like she didn’t want to come home when I went to pick her up. She had lots of walks and off leash park time and playing in the yard; lots of cuddle time it seems. She even took to Jim, Terry’s husband right away- not one bark. It was an awesome experience for both of us. Thank you Terry for taking such great care of our Maggie ❤️ we’ll be back soon!”

“Serena is an excellent house sitter, she came on time and did a great job of looking after our Little Bit, in fact Little Bit likes her better than me! She kept us up to date on a daily basis with many pictures. We were very pleased to have her and would not hesitate to hire her again. Thank you Serena!”
“Moira did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She was punctual and reliable and from the pictures she sent it was obvious that the Oscar & Oliver easily connected to her. Our house was left in a pristine condition. I can recommend her services without a moment's hesitation.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for the last 10 years for friends, family and word of mouth. I had a dog throughout my childhood and now love to fill my time with furry friends. I would love to walk, board or stay at your home with your pets. I have walked and looked after any age and any size of pets. I currently am working very part time so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I am available all days! I have lots of time in the mornings and afternoons to take your pets out for a long walk if that’s what they want! I have a large unfenced backyard but a large deck that is closed off. There is lots of space for your dog to explore around my yard though! And I am always with them outside so don’t worry about them. I also love to stay at your place to make your pets feel at home still.
About: I am a retired lady who loves to get out for nature walks. I adore dogs of any breed and would love them like they were my family. I’m retired so I’m able to take care of your pet Monday thru Sunday and almost any hours that work for you. Please let me know what you need. I am able to take care of your pet at your home or mine but they will need to be on a leash at my home as I don’t have a fenced area yet.
“Thank you so much for taking care of Fanta. We had an unexpected family emergency to take care of on the mainland and knowing Fanta was in good hands took so much stress off of us.”
“I can't say enough about how professional and caring Shelby was during her visits with my two cats while I was away in England. It was such a relief knowing that someone who truly cares about animals was watching over my "little ones". Thank you Shelby.”
“Jimena did a wonderful job. She took good care of my 2 spoiled cats over a weekend giving them their special food and treats. She sent pictures and videos every few hours which made my wife and I travel without worrying much about them. We felt they were in good hands”
“I was so grateful to have Jillian look after my kitty and home while I was away. She's very friendly and sweet and sent regular updates while we were away so we knew how Geronimo was doing. She even cleaned before she left so we didn't have to do a thing when we came home. I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again. Thanks so much Jillian!”

“Kira was absolutely wonderful with my little girl Lucy. This was my first time using Rovers services with Kira for an extended period of time over the holidays. I was able to rest easy knowing Kira was there everyday at the same time spending quality time with her. Kira sent photos of Lucy daily keeping me updated on her well being and while sitting and playing with her. I came home to a very happy and well taken care of kitty. Lucy bonded so well with Kira! Kira was extraordinarily professional at all times throughout her time taking care of Lucy and I will absolutely consult with her again in the future.”
“Anna Maria took wonderful care of our cats during our 9-day trip to New Zealand. She was reliable, professional, and very caring. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our cats were in such good hands. She followed all instructions carefully and kept us updated, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything in perfect order. We truly appreciate her excellent work and will definitely book her again. Highly recommended!”
“I am so thankful to Karuna for caring so beautifully for my babies. She is a great communicator, takes lots of photos and asks great questions. I would book her again in a heartbeat- even my shy girl loved her right away. Thank you!”

“Karuna was absolutely amazing, it was the first time we ever left our puppy with someone else and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience! I was only out for a couple hours but still got text updates, photos and videos of my pup! I will definitely be booking Karuna in the future!”
“Amy took great care of my senior dog during a doggy care session. She was great at communication and provided updates while he was staying with her. I could tell my dog was very well looked after. I would fully recommend Amy to anyone looking for services on Rover.”
“Jayden greeted us - especially Ladybug with lovely welcoming energy. She got down low to gently greet Ladybug and allowed her to sniff all around to feel comfortable. Ladybug was happy and calm when my husband picked her up - to me this is a great sign that she was comfortable and happy with Jayden. Thank-you Jayden for your kindness for our wee senior Shih Tzu. So nice to know we have a safe, comfortable place for our sweetie to hang out when we go to places doggos aren't allowed.”
“Superb dog daycare! We have a challenging dog, and on short notice Kelly & Natalie were able to set up a meet and greet where I was put at ease as I watched how good they were with my doggo and as Kelly walked me through their set-up and past experience, both of which suited the rather special needs of my reactive dog. Communication was excellent and I appreciated being asked about whether certain treats were ok before they were given. We've also received some amazing photos that will go in our regular album rotation. Recommended!”
“Diana was friendly and flexible, willing to take Earl at short notice. The facility seems nice. She sent a number of photos and two quick videos of him. She took him for a walk, and played with him. Unfortunately, Earl was unable to relax while he was there. That, as well as the distance from our home, means that we won't be using Diana's services again. It just wasn't a good fit for us, but I have no concerns about Diana's capability.”
About: I have had the pleasure of owning two black labs over the last 45 years. Love to hike and like the company of a dog to come along. I am now retired. Looking for reasons to go for a walk. Would love to look after a dog to keep me company and give me some company during the day. I have a fenced yard. Have always kept my dog on a leash when walking. Dog hair in the house isn’t an issue. Lots of attention given
“Parker is happy and well looked after under Marcy’s care. He has had an extended stay and day care. We appreciate all the pics/videos that we receive while he is at her house. We will not hesitate to take Parker to Marcy’s in the future.”
“Danielle is wonderful! I trust her with my dogs completely and she has great communication around what she offers and expectations. She has a wealth of knowledge on dog behaviour and she applies it to support my dogs’ learning where it’s needed! She also sends updates on the day and even takes them on adventures, etc! Highly recommend! She has been a huge relief and help to me as a single working person!”
“Jazzy and Simon enjoyed their day with Alicia and Rey and jazzy came home tuckered out . Look forward to the next visit . Thank you Alicia for loving jazzy and Simon as your own .”

“Janice was fabulous. Great to text with, prompt and very friendly. My dogs seemed to love her for their first walk with her. I got pictures along the walk, was told how many times they peed/pooped and saw their walk route. Would definitely try her again. Highly recommended. Great first experience”

“Lindsey was absutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous finding someone to come and care for my dogs while i was at work. Lindsey did such an amazing job communicating with me and coming by for a quick meet & greet before coming to take the dogs on the walks for the first time. She kept me updated with photos from the walks and some great notes of how it went! If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and will care for them like her own Lindsey is your girl! Tucker & Boba say thank you! 🐾”

I’m currently working part-time so the days I’m available, I’m available all day to be able to spend quality time with your pets! I will treat those days as a typical work day and unless it’s an emergency will schedule appointments around you rather than the other way around In your home I am able to feed, water or administer simple medications if necessary and with proper instruction (however I don’t have a background as a tech and want to be clear on that :). I am happy to let your pets out for an outdoor break or a walk around the block if needed if it’s a stop-in and for dog walking services depending on the time we have I’m happy to take them to wilderness trails but if we have a short time I can also stay close to home, whatever suits your (and their) comfort level and ability.

She was responsive, attentive and you can tell she really loves caring for your pup!! Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you Sara !!”

“Jessica was great with Kira! I felt confident in leaving her there, she was very quick in responding and Kira was happy after a couple of days with Jessica. Its great she has a fenced yard where dogs can roam around safely.”
“Maggie was with Terry for a week and I usually worry because she is anxious around new people and being left but what a time she had! She seemed like she didn’t want to come home when I went to pick her up. She had lots of walks and off leash park time and playing in the yard; lots of cuddle time it seems. She even took to Jim, Terry’s husband right away- not one bark. It was an awesome experience for both of us. Thank you Terry for taking such great care of our Maggie ❤️ we’ll be back soon!”
“Marcy was absolutely amazing! It was apparent how much she loves the company of dogs and she really went the extra mile to make Maverick feel at home. Maverick had a fantastic time and was totally at ease when we picked him up. Thanks for taking such good care of him Marcy!”
“Tyler is an extremely attentive and dedicated boarder. It was evident the effort he went to to ensure our dog was comfortable, loved, and well cared for. We felt so lucky to have him care for our senior dog!”
“Wow….Jadyn is by far the best puppy sitter we have ever had. She treated our guy like her own and he was spoiled with hikes and walks almost daily….he is probably wishing he could go back! We are so grateful and were so comfortable leaving Opie in her care. She made things easy with top notch communication as well as the daily photos opportunities. Thanks Jadyn…..we will be calling you again!”
“I can’t say enough about how amazing Moka’s visit was with Joanne. She quickly became friends with Joanne’s big pup and went on adventures every day! Joanne sent daily pictures to finish off each day and treated Moka like her own! I’m sure Moka cannot wait for her next stay with Joanne.”
“Excellent with pets! Our dog buddy had a great time and was well taken care of. She sent us updates with pictures many times. We really appreciate and will book again. Thank you!”
“My two Aussie's had an absolute blast with Dorothy! She was so helpful by keeping me updated on how they were and even included photos! Thank you I look forward to our next booking ❤️”
