“Andrea and Sergio looked after our very anxious pup, who generally dislikes anybody she doesn’t know. They were able to put her at ease and were very accommodating with our requests. I would highly recommend them as pup sitters!”
“I would like to share how incredible my experience was boarding my dog with Mandy and Jacky during my recent two-week vacation. They are truly amazing and treated my dog just like a member of their own family. I especially appreciated receiving at least two detailed updates every day, complete with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Their level of professionalism is outstanding. I was so impressed by the nightly routine they established with my dog, which included cleaning, brushing his fur and his teeth. We love them and will definitely be going back. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.”
“Jing was so nice and cheerful. My dog loves her even her kid. She will be the first person that I will contact if I need a sitter for Casper again. (hopefully she will be available) See you soon Jingjing.. My dog loves the toy that you gave him.”
“Connie provided excellent care for our dog. She provided all of the information needed before drop-off. Once we dropped off our dog, she provided updates via texts, pictures, and videos on a very frequent basis. She was also very understanding when there was a slight delay picking up our dog due to traffic conditions. Happy to let her watch our dog again if needed.”
“Thank you for taking such amazing care of our dogs. We know that they are in such a good care when they are in your hands. We received daily updates of our dogs having a great time with Coco. We plan on boarding them again soon.”
“This is our second time asking Vickie to look after Miffy! Without a doubt, Vickie is absolutely wonderful! Miffy felt so comfortable and happy, completely blending in as if she were at her own home. We kept receiving regular updates from Vickie, and we could see from the videos and photos that Miffy was having a blast, relaxing on the sofa, and moving around freely. We truly appreciate Vickie's patience and care. We've already booked her again for our next vacation!”
“Stacie was excellent in her communication regarding Rudi stay with her. She sent daily updates and short videos, which showed Rudi to be happy and well taken care of. On my return, Rudi was clean happy and in good spirits. I would definitely trust Stacie to take care of Rudi again and can highly recommend her”
“Sandra and her family provided such excellent care for our puppy. This was our first overnight trip away, and Sandra was very kind to keep us updated with messages and pictures. I was so relieved to see Mabel enjoying herself and I knew she was in good hands.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Brittaney and Tommy for the exceptional care they provided to our dog while we were away. Their attentiveness, regular updates, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend their services to anyone needing a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Maye and Frank are the best! Easy and prompt communications throughout and they sent me lots of updates. The took such good care of my pup. Highly highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. My dog Dexter, a Shih Tzu-Poodle cross, was my constant companion for 19 wonderful years before I recently said goodbye to him. I’m not quite ready for another dog of my own yet, but I would love the opportunity to give that same love, care and attention to yours. I also volunteer with Soi Dog Foundation in Thailand during my yearly visits, where I spend time with the dogs, walk them and help with their care. This has given me hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities and backgrounds, and has helped me become comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet’s care and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Your dog will be treated like part of my family, with plenty of cuddles, walks, playtime and attention. I’m patient, reliable and attentive and I always want the dogs in my care to feel safe, comfortable and loved. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering oral medication, so I’m comfortable providing a little extra care when needed. I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. For daycare and boarding, I build their routine around each dog's individual needs, including their usual feeding, exercise and rest schedule. For dogs staying with me for the day, I typically provide walks in the morning, around lunchtime and again around dinner. Boarding dogs also get a bedtime walk, for a total of four walks throughout the day. Walks are generally around 30 minutes or longer, depending on the dog's age, energy level and exercise needs. I also have a small fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time. Between walks, there is plenty of time for play, companionship and relaxing at home. I live in a pet-friendly condo with my own small fenced yard and plenty of green space and parks nearby. My home is a comfortable, calm environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I take the safety and wellbeing of every dog in my care seriously. When a dog first arrives, I take the time to get to know their personality, routine and comfort level rather than expecting them to settle in immediately. I follow their owner's instructions closely and maintain their normal feeding, exercise and daily routine as much as possible. I’m usually home with the dogs in my care, and if I need to go out briefly, I keep the time away from home to a minimum. I also make sure I understand any important behaviors, sensitivities or special needs before caring for a dog so I can provide a safe and comfortable experience.
“I can’t recommend Angela enough! She took such amazing care of my dog and made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. It was clear right away how kind, attentive, and experienced her and her family are, and I really appreciated the communication, updates, and photos while I was away. My dog seemed so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It was really lovely knowing my dog was around Angela and her family — you can tell there’s a lot of care and positive energy in that environment. I would absolutely book with Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely caring.”
“Our 10 year old Corgi, Fritz, had an amazing time! He stayed for almost a month with them. The communication from Sharon was wonderful. Lots of updates and photos were provided which gave us comfort knowing Fritz was being well cared for. It helped also having the updates on the IG page as well. I would highly recommend Sharon and her family as pet sitters as Fritz is a very loving and happy dog, but he also does have some difficult qualities and they were able to manage him very well without any issues. I would highly recommend Sharon to care for your dog as they will be in great hands with her and her family’s.”
“Ashley and her partner were very friendly and easy going. Communicated well and my dog had a great time. They even gave me some treats and a toy that my dog really enjoyed when I went to pick up my dog at the end of the day. I highly recommend.”
“Ashley and kelvin are the best dog sitters! They took such amazing care of Bentley and send regular updates. Everytime we book with them it gives us a piece of mind :)”
“We recently did a trial stay with Héctor and Jeanette for our dog Ettore, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how it went. It was Ettore’s first time staying with them, so I was a little nervous at the beginning… but they were amazing from the start. They were incredibly patient and really took the time to understand his personality. They gave him space when he needed it, but were also very attentive and caring, which made such a difference in helping him feel comfortable. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they look after. By the end of the stay, Ettore seemed relaxed and at ease, which says everything. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust them again, especially for a longer stay.”
“Tianna and Tyler are great! I trust them fully with Sweetie, they are so caring and loving. Never feel uneasy about letting them take care of her because they constantly communicate, send updates and pictures without fail! Super flexible as well which makes things so smooth! I can always count on them, they’re wonderful!”

“Trudy provided excellent care to my cat while I was away on business. She provides regular updates and really cares about the animals in her care! I was at ease while being away with Trudy’s help.”
“Sarah was so wonderful with my senior dog while we were out of town for a few days. She took her on long walks, gave her lots of snuggles and made sure she was happy and well fed. I loved seeing the detailed updates on how her visits went each time, and felt that my dog was in wonderful hands with Sarah! Will absolutely book with her again in future. Thanks Sarah!”
“Amanda is a very pleasant cat sitter she took really good care of my fur baby and I am grateful I met her I love her sending the photos when I was away those daily updates made me feel happy and secure that my cat was happy safe and relaxed and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter 💗”

About: Dogs and cats are my life。I have grown up around aninals。They are dogs、cats、mini chickens、fish、rabbits…My family and I moved from China to Canada 1years ago and greatly miss having pet。 I come from a pet-loving family and have experience caring for many types of animals. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and building trust with them over time. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to commit to regular and long-term dog walking. I understand how important consistency and routine are for dogs, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m home most of the day and can reliably provide walks and check-ins at consistent times. I enjoy being outdoors, and daily walks are already part of my lifestyle. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to start with short walks or trial bookings to build a long-term relationship with both pets and their owners. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions and the pet’s usual routine. In a client’s home, I focus on safety, calm care, and consistency. I make sure doors and gates are secure, use the owner’s preferred leash or harness, and adjust walks based on the pet’s age and energy level. During drop-in visits, I can provide fresh food and water, basic cleaning of pet bowls, supplies, and crates, along with bathroom breaks, exercise, and companionship. I also share updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed.
“We really loved Kenyan she is very professional and punctual. My pet Luna really loved her attention and care. Every visit from Kenyan was amazing and in details with photos and records of everything that she did to Luna. We really recommend her as a pet sitter. For sure we will book her again. Thank you so much for thanking such a great care of our baby Luna. 🐱”
“Good communication and prompt responses throughout. I really appreciated the regular photos and updates showing what Taco was getting up to. It was clear from the photos that he was comfortable, happy, and making himself right at home. He needed no transition time when he returned home and was immediately his usual happy self. Would definitely use this sitter again. :)”
“Ashley and her hubby were AMAZING! They took such great care of our cat Ronald. It was our first time using Rover so we were not sure what to expect. They blew us away by the care, time and attention they gave to our fur baby. THANK YOU!!!!!”
“Mikayla is very caring and responsive. We felt reassured leaving our two cats under her care. She seems to have a lot of experience & patience with cat behaviours :) thank you again!”
About: I spent my whole childhood around cats and kittens. They were our additional siblings! In addition, I have 2 years of cat sitting experience for friends and family. I am a caring, responsible, and attentive cat lover who will treat your kitty like my own. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and purr-fectly cared for while you’re away.
“Josh dropped in on my cat for one week. He did a great job with feeding and cleaning up after a couple of messes. I found Josh to be very responsible and responsive to messages, between and during his visits. I will definitely consider bringing Josh in the next time I'm away.”
About: Tyler had his own beloved cat for 17 years and is a lifelong cat enthusiast. Together, we love giving cats the patience, affection, and attention they need to feel comfortable. We’re gentle, patient, and attentive. We love everything from playful kittens to independent senior cats. Whether your cat wants to chase toys or receive endless cuddles, we’re happy to meet them where they are. We’ll follow your cat’s routine and give them plenty of love, enrichment and companionship!
“Sara is a super attentive, knowledgeable and caring cat sitter. She was willing to take my cat Strudel for him first rover experience over a long weekend and provided thoughtful care and frequent video updates to me. He had his own room and ensuite to help him feel safe in a new environment. Unfortunately Strudel played hide and seek in the house with Sara near the end of the visit but was found safe and sound. Sara generously came by to drop off an item left behind after his stay. Thank you!”

“Another great stay with Connie! Chonkee was so well taken care of, not only by Connie but by her whole family. We’re always at ease knowing she’s in such good hands and getting all the love and care she deserves ❤️”
“This was my first time meeting Viktoria and Henry. They are such kind, thoughtful people who genuinely love dogs. The care and gentle way they care for their own dog is so touching. I am so happy to have found them and have already booked future care with them.”
“I had a great experience doing a meet and greet with Gini and her dog Finn. My one-year-old Maltipoo is usually nervous or reactive around new people and dogs, but he warmed up to them right away. He really liked Finn and was comfortable with Gini too. He did his first full daycare with Gini and didn’t hesitate at all to go inside with her. Usually, he’d be a bit anxious, pull back, or look at me for reassurance, but he was calm and confident this time. It’s a big relief to see him so relaxed, especially since he has a bit of separation anxiety. I feel good knowing he’s in good hands and I’m looking forward to more playtimes and visits with Gini and Finn.”
“Sandra's flexibility meant I had care when our usual sitter was away. She communicated often and updated me regularly when Walnut was not feeling well. Appreciate your help!”
“This is our second time using Siyu’s doggy daycare service, and we’re definitely going to be returning clients from now on. She sent updates and photos/videos throughout the day. My two dogs love Siyu and her dog Oscar. My anxious mama’s boy, Barkley, didn’t even look back once when I handed his leash to Siyu 😂 From that alone, I know Barkley feels safe and well cared for with Siyu and her smart boy Oscar. A few minutes later, I even got an update that Barkley was flying around the house out of excitement, which was the cherry on top. We can’t thank Siyu enough - as dog parents, we know how guilty and concerned we feel leaving our dogs all day while we work. But thanks to Siyu, we don’t have to feel nearly as guilty anymore, knowing our pups are safe, happy, and cared for. We definitely recommend Siyu :)”
“I cannot recommend Sara highly enough for dog sitting! She took care of my 6-month-old puppy, Lady, with such love and attention. From the moment we met, I could tell Sara was a true animal lover. She made Lady feel comfortable and at ease, which was especially important for such a young dog. Throughout the entire time, Sara kept me updated with adorable photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Lady came back home happy, healthy, and exhausted from her stay! Sara's dedication and care are unparalleled. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Sara is the perfect choice. Lady and I are so grateful for her wonderful care and can’t wait to book her again! Thank you, Sara, for being such an amazing sitter!”
“Tammy is amazing, she is so loving a caring to my Sweetie and I. I trust her completely with the care of Sweetie she constantly sends pictures and reassurance, keeps my mind at peace. She clearly knows how to take amazing care of dogs and has great experience! Will definitely keep going to Tammy for dog sitting!”
“We had a great experience with Bella! Enzo is a very anxious dog and usually has a hard time when he's away from his people so I was worried about leaving him. Bella was incredibly patient and caring, and I was so happy to hear that Enzo was actually calm and didn't cry/whine while he was with her. It says a lot about how comfortable and safe she made him feel! She also kept me updated with lots of photos and videos! I would definitely trust her to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dogsitter!”
“Nien was so great with our dog, Sgt Pepper! He can be a bit nervous meeting new people and he was instantly comfortable with her. She was very communicative and kept us updated with cute photos and videos throughout the day 🥰. We will definitely book with Nien again.”
“Anmol and Abhinav did such a wonderful job taking care of Casper! They sent me multiple photos and videos throughout the day and kept me updated to how Casper was. Both have a very calm demeanour which really helps. We will definitely be rebooking with them for future services.”
About: ** We live in a cozy apartment just a quick 10 min. drive from YVR Airport, making it easier to drop off and pick up your dog before or after a trip! ** 📢 A little note for pet parents: I typically care for dogs up to 22 lbs, as my experience and home are best suited for smaller dogs. Rover currently doesn’t offer an option for dogs up to 22 lbs, so I’ve selected the 16-40 lbs range as the closest available option. Please note that my actual maximum weight is 22 lbs. Daycare is for stays of up to 8hrs. Stays over 8hrs will be charged at the boarding rate. (choose between 7am-8pm) Hello, I’m Catherine! I started caring for dogs for family and friends in 2022, and over the years I realized how much I truly enjoy it. That eventually led me to get my own dog, Summer, in 2024. She’s currently 2 years old and is a Bichon-Shih Tzu mix who is very friendly and loves meeting new dogs. Having a dog of my own has taught me so much about their care, behaviour, and different personalities. I’m excited to continue learning, get to know more dogs and their unique personalities, and give every dog in my care the same love, attention, and care I give to Summer. I want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I work from home, which allows me to keep a close eye on your dog throughout the day and give them lots of attention, companionship, and care. I'm experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and following each dog's usual schedule to help them feel relaxed and at home. I’ll keep you updated with photos and/or videos so you can see how your dog is doing! :) To make packing easier, I have some items your dog is welcome to use during their stay! Just bring your dog’s essentials, such as food and treats, and I’ll take care of the rest. Our building is secure and quiet, perfect for dogs who prefer a calm environment without the stress of a busy household. Our apartment is equipped with AC and heating to keep your dog comfortable year-round, as well as a security camera for added safety and peace of mind during their stay.
About: We’re the kind of people who get ridiculously excited when a pet wants to play or decides it’s cuddle time! Animals have always been a huge part of both our lives.

“Coco was very accommodating with my last minute request. She was very friendly and met me on time at my door and immediately Benji took off with her. It seems like they had a great hour long walk. I would book Coco again without hesitation.”
“This is the second time that Gini walked our dog and it won't be the last! She is absolutely wonderful in every way. My dog comes back from his walks satisfied and happy. We trust Gini and our dog loves her. What else is there to say? She's great.... 10/10 WONDERFUL!”
“Mandy was incredibly caring and so kind to our puppy Mabel. She was so happy to accommodate us, and every day she had such a thorough summary of the walk. She sent many pictures and videos every day that brightened up my busy work day! My puppy loves her so much, and she eagerly greets her as a new best friend. We'll definitely be using her service in the future, and I'm so thankful to have found Mandy and Jacky!”

About: I was raised in a pet-loving family and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all life stages—from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve even helped my own dog deliver her babies, and now as my doggy siblings have gotten older, I care for them through challenges like dementia and cataracts. Growing up with three doggy siblings has taught me exactly how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and special needs. I'm currently working part-time, which I can spend lots of play time with your furry family member. I value not only giving them food and water, but also that spiritual happiness, so play dates are for sure! When caring for pets, safety is my number one priority. I always make sure the environment is secure, check that doors and gates are locked, and keep any dangerous items out of reach. To give your pet the patient care they deserve.

Tianna works from home and can provide pets with plenty of companionship, attention + potty/play breaks, and Tyler is available after work by 3pm. We have plenty of time for walks, play sessions, cuddles and relaxing all together. We’re happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and we can accommodate weekday, evening, or weekend care depending on the service and your pet’s needs! 🫶 We live in a pet-friendly apartment and provide a calm, supervised home environment. Tianna works from home, so pets are rarely without human companionship during the day. We want your pet to feel completely safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with us! 💕 We take the time to learn each pet’s routines, personalities and comfort levels before their stay and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. We make sure they receive appropriate walks, playtime, meals, bathroom breaks and plenty of rest, always taking their individual needs into consideration. For drop-in visits, we provide the same attentive, personalized care in your pet’s own home. We’ll follow their usual routine, give them food + fresh water, provide bathroom breaks, playtime, walks or cuddles as needed, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy before we leave. We’re happy to follow any specific instructions you provide and can send you pictures and updates during each visit so you know your pet is doing well!
About: I grew up with my grandmother’s female cat, who I considered my big sister, and my parents have three dogs at home. I currently care for my own rescue cat, Maulie, who I adopted off the street. Over the years I’ve also looked after pets for family and friends, handling feeding, walking, and overnight care. My philosophy is simple: I treat cats like guests, not pets to be managed. I respect their independence fully — there’s nowhere off-limits in my home. Countertops, beds, top of the fridge — wherever they feel like being, that’s where they can be. I don’t change their behaviors or train them. You’ll pick up the same cat you dropped off. I feed manually — wet food, dry food, or whatever you prefer — because I believe in watching how they eat and adjusting accordingly. No auto-feeders. I want them to feel attended to, not processed. I use a Litter-Robot so they always have a clean bed of litter. And they sleep wherever they like, including on beds if that’s their thing. I understand how it feels to be away and not able to care for your pet — everywhere you go reminds you of your babies. I don’t have fancy facilities made for professional cat care, just a second home for your meow meow babies. I work from home, which means I’m home most days and able to give cats plenty of attention, playtime, and consistent routines, so your pet is never left without care. I live in a calm, family home with my daughter and our rescue cat, Maulie, so your cat will be joining a household that’s used to gentle routines and lots of attention. I believe in indoor-only cats — they stay inside, always safe. I use a Litter-Robot to make sure litter is clean every single time, and I manually feed every meal to make sure nutrition is on point. The apartment is bright and fully windowed. I won’t let your cat onto the balcony unless you prefer it — and even then, they’ll only be out there when I’m physically present with them. The space is quiet, safe, and pet-friendly — just a calm second home while you’re away. Maulie is a friendly, socialized cat who spends most of her time sleeping. She gets along with almost every cat, and if she’s not in the mood to play, she has her own secret hideaway spot where she goes to be left undisturbed — so your cat always has space to decompress too.
About: 🇬🇧 🇨🇳 🇯🇵; feel free to pick the language you are comfortable with :) 欢迎联系我 日本語対応できます、ご連絡お待ちしております I've been taking good care of my cats since they were 5 months old and adopted from the KW Humane Society in Ontario. Since then I have also been occasionally helping my friends in boarding, grooming, and providing caring advices for their cats. I'm a software engineer working from home; I own my schedule, go out for daily walks and visiting fluffy friends is a perfect excuse to go out! I've been trained with Pet First Aid at St John in 2019. For drop-in visits, I'd send photos that confirm food refill, litter clean up, and the overall wellness of everyone at home.
About: I am a former dog mom who raised a female Shih Tzu from a puppy, and I firmly believe that love and intentional care help animals live longer, healthier lives. Her name was Java and she lived past 15 years and remained active well into her senior years. Some of my most cherished memories with her included dog walking, baths, car rides, bonding time, and trips to the park. I didn’t treat her as just a dog—I treated her as family because I truly loved her. In addition to my own dog, I have cared for other family dogs, nurturing them from puppyhood to adulthood with the same level of care and dedication. I have experience supporting dogs with anxiety and shyness, as my own dog experienced this and overcame it through building trust, providing positive reinforcement, playtime, and bonding activities that I provided. I love nature and adventurous activities, which allows me to actively engage and enrich the lives of furry friends. As a nurse, I am naturally empathetic, compassionate, and committed to providing loving and patient care. I live by the principle of not doing harm but always doing good—this extends not only to humans but also to every dog I care for. I aim to provide services that are tailored to furry friends, because every furry friend is unique and has different needs. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of furry friends because even though they cannot speak, they truly understand and feel when they are loved. My goal is not only to provide services but also to make a lasting, meaningful impact in the life of every furry friend I care for! Each service is personalized with unique care, some services include, Puppy Training 🐶 Experience with dogs at all life stages—from puppy to senior 🐶🐕 Experience caring for sick dogs🌡 and administering oral medications Enriching activities such as dog walks and playtime⛱️🏕🐩🐕🐶 Personalized services including progress reports📋 seasonal health brochures, meeting hygienic needs, and so much more🥰 I am a nurse currently in graduate school, which means I have flexible weekly hours and can provide dog services on a schedule that works well for you. I also offer weekend boarding with advance booking. I can also accommodate last‑minute bookings as well. I provide safe, personalized care in your home, following your preferences to ensure your pet is protected and your home is secure. You can count on me to treat your pet with love!

I don’t think I have special skills, but I am definitely patient, respectful and passionate about the job. I'm currently out of work so I have plenty of time to take care of your dogs and cats.

“Jing was so nice and cheerful. My dog loves her even her kid. She will be the first person that I will contact if I need a sitter for Casper again. (hopefully she will be available) See you soon Jingjing.. My dog loves the toy that you gave him.”
“Connie provided excellent care for our dog. She provided all of the information needed before drop-off. Once we dropped off our dog, she provided updates via texts, pictures, and videos on a very frequent basis. She was also very understanding when there was a slight delay picking up our dog due to traffic conditions. Happy to let her watch our dog again if needed.”
“Gini boarded my dog, Thor, for one night and was amazing. She responded quickly and was able to take him in last minute, which I was so grateful for. Drop-off and pick-up went smoothly, and she was very flexible with timing when I was running late. This was my first time using Rover, and Gini made me feel completely comfortable leaving Thor with her. I would 1000% book again.”
“Thank you for taking such amazing care of our dogs. We know that they are in such a good care when they are in your hands. We received daily updates of our dogs having a great time with Coco. We plan on boarding them again soon.”
“Benjamin did an excellent job of caring for our kitten during an unprecedented heat wave. He provided regular updates with lots of photos. His three children were very gentle with our kitten and provided plenty of play time for her. Thanks again!”
“Dean is absolutely incredible! He treated our dog like his own, daily adventures, treats and all the love she could ever ask for. We are so thrilled with Dean and will continue to use him. We couldn't ask for a safer or more loving sitter!”
“This was our third time with Anita and our dog loved it once again. We were away for almost a month and Katara felt and seemed very well taken care of. We will absolutely use Anita's services again.”
“Sandra and her family provided such excellent care for our puppy. This was our first overnight trip away, and Sandra was very kind to keep us updated with messages and pictures. I was so relieved to see Mabel enjoying herself and I knew she was in good hands.”
“Selina is such an amazing sitter. Not only she accepted my request on such a short notice, but also very attentive and show updates of Luka by photos. I am definitely going to hire her again next time I need a walker or a dog sitter! Amazing amazing girl!”
“Jeannalla and Richelle watched Ginger over a weekend and I felt she was very well taken care of. Jeannalla kept me up to date and was very observant of Ginger. Highly recommend.”
“Michelle took good care of my dog but she is best suited for medium/light weight dogs. I have a golden which she was looking after and my dog decided to throw tantrums asking for longer walks, sleeping on road which requires more strength for handling giving her a hard time. I got regular updates from her for my booking.”
“I can’t recommend Angela enough! She took such amazing care of my dog and made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. It was clear right away how kind, attentive, and experienced her and her family are, and I really appreciated the communication, updates, and photos while I was away. My dog seemed so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It was really lovely knowing my dog was around Angela and her family — you can tell there’s a lot of care and positive energy in that environment. I would absolutely book with Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely caring.”
“We tried Doggy Meadows for daycare with our timid and nervous pup Canela and were happy with the whole experience. The place is super clean and looks brand new, which immediately put me at ease. Canela is pretty scared of other dogs, so we needed her to stay separate. They had no problem with the request and took great care of her. I also liked that each suite already had its own bed, bowls, and fresh water. I wasn’t aware that this location is ‘Doggy Meadow’, a lot of great details on their webpage. The owners were very welcoming and greeted us right on time. It’s a family-owned business and you can tell they genuinely care about the dogs. They answered all my questions quickly and clearly, which was a huge relief because it had been a long time since we tried any sort of daycare with our skittish dog - since my sister was our original dog sitter but has now moved. The big gated field is beautiful. Canela got to go on off-leash walks and just roam around happily, which made me so glad we chose them. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a caring, clean, and well-run daycare! Thank you Yoni and Lonnie ☺️ Canela is looking forward to more exercise 😌”
“It was my first time leaving my dog Irie with a sitter through Rover. Our dog, Irie has stayed with a friend's older dog and cat before whenever we went out of town so I knew she's the submissive type and she knows she's a guest so she matches the resident animals' demeanour. Sara sent me photo and video updates and I could see how much fun Irie was having with Iris and the other dog under her care. Also, I think because Irie was with dogs closer to her age, she was more playful and I love that she was able to exert that energy. Many thanks again to Sara for taking care of Irie during our vacation. We'll definitely book again for boarding and doggy daycare when there's a need.”
“Ranah and Franki were great sitters for my guy Fozzie. It was reassuring to know that he was in great hands while I was away. Thank you both so much for making sure he had his meds when he needed them, and letting him hang out with your awesome dog. I will definitely have Fozzie stay with you again.”
“Thank you Jungho and family for taking such good care of Mylo! He always looks forward to seeing you and we really appreciate knowing that he is always well taken care of and in good hands.”

“Anisa was extremely responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with throughout the process.

It’s always reassuring to know your dog is happy and well looked after, and I felt confident leaving him with her. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with Anmol and Abhinav’s pet sitting services for our dog, Nova! As nervous dog parents, we really appreciated how they went above and beyond to ensure Nova had a fun and safe time while we were away. Their dog, Bella, was the perfect playmate for Nova, and it was such a relief to know she had a companion to spend time with. Anmol and Abhinav worked wonderfully as a team, providing us with regular updates and adorable pictures of Nova’s adventures. It truly eased our minds to see her so happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Anmol and Abhinav for anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters!”
