“Bentley had an excellent stay with Lauren and Andy with plenty of walks and no end of fun.

Lauren also sent us daily reports on what had happened together with photos and some videos and we were most happy to get the regular updates An excellent experience”

“Sunny & Cole stayed with Susan & Robin for 9 nights. We were nervous finding new sitters for them as they haven’t stayed with anyone in a while. We were thrilled with everything. They were so happy when we picked them up it was clear they were very well cared for and loved. We will 100% use Susan and Robin again they are wonderful people and took the best care of our puppers:)”
“Marcy was wonderful with my pups. They stayed with her for one night and 2 full days. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures of their visit. She is a great sitter, fantastic with dogs. I am so happy to have her watch my pups.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Sjako and his family took wonderful care of our little Emilio. His kids were so sweet and gentle with our dog and they took Emilio out for a hike as well. We appreciated the great communication and the photos of our dog while we were away. Thanks so much!”
“We left Kroshk in the care of Kelly and Natalie and were super happy. They have great strategies to introduce new dogs to their home and dogs and made our pup feel super comfortable. We received many updates of Kroshka having fun as well. I would rebook without hesitation, thank you!”
“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.”
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.
“Yuet continues to be amazing every time she sits for me. I think the highest praise I can provide is the fact that my dog Odin gets super excited when he realizes he is going to stay with Yuet.”
“Karin was a huge help taking on a last minute booking to care for our dog. She was quick to respond, took great care of him and provided updates regularly. Will definitely book her again!”
“We were so happy with how Tyler took care of our dog while we were out of town! He's attentive and knowledgable, and you can tell how much he loves and cares for dogs by the thought and effort that he puts in to make your pup feel at home, even when they're away from home. We will 100% be using Tyler's services again in the future. Thanks again! :)”
“Linda took such amazing care of my Lola this past weekend. I really appreciated the photo and updates on how Lola was doing. Lola will definitely be staying with Linda again in the future. Thankyou for taking such good care of Lola. I would absolutely recommend Linda for doggy care.”
“Glory loves going to Danielle’s and having the chance to play with Gibuu. Danielle works on training points with Glory so she comes home even better than when she left!”
“We normally bring our pup everywhere, but at 13, he cant quite make it on all of our family adventures. Our dog received wonderful care with Sharon and the updates and pictures helped ease our stress at leaving our family member behind. A great experience overall and much better than a kennel!”

I am experienced in administering medications, orally, topically and subcutaneously. I understand cats all have different personalities and levels of care they require.
“Dorothy is true gem. She took care of my cat (and for awhile, my dog) during a very chaotic and stressful time for me. She was very kind, and flexible during this unpredictable period. She sent pics of my pets to me everyday, which was so comforting. (She even found a toy that my cat, who doesn't "do" toys, seemed to enjoy.) Superlative pet care. Thank you Dorothy. I have no hesitation in recommending you in the highest terms.”
“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!”

“Took great care of my pup! He came home absolutely spent and very happy. I’d feel more than comfortable leaving him in Lindsay’s hands the next time we need someone to look after him!”
“Amy was great to book with and made it easy for me as I was visiting from out of town! She was able to accommodate a last minute daycare booking so I could go fishing with my Dad. She was fast and easy to communicate with and made the booking process easy and stress free. I would highly recommend booking with Amy.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my boys! They were so good with sending frequent photos and check ins. Will be using them again. They even watched our foster puppy for free- thank you for paying it forward!”
“Karuna was fantastic. She provided updates throughout the day, which made me feel very comfortable leaving my pups in her care. They came home tired and happy, clearly well exercised. I really appreciated the photos she shared and would highly recommend her.”
“We were ultimately satisfied with the care Jenn and Adam provided for my two pups!! My first time using rover and dropping my dogs off so I was very nervous but they made the experience easily 12/10!! My dogs can be anxious and hard to warm up to new people, but they warmed up right away to them! They were so caring, respectful and understanding to our needs! Would send me updates for the dogs, took them on fun adventures and lots of love and snuggles. When we come back and need pet care I hope to be able to bring my furbabies to Jenn!! Thank you both so much for your excellent care”
“We all liked Courtenay right off the bat, especially Phoebe, and we felt very comfortable leaving Phoebe with her. We tried a two-hour sample stay first and that went very well so the full days that we needed puppy day-care were an easy transition. Courtenay made sure Phoebe was comfortable and busy so she didn’t have time to miss us, and her whole family was also involved so our little girl had a great time. We will definitely leave Phoebe with Courtenay again when needed ✨ thanks Courtenay and fam!”
“Danielle has been caring for my dogs for a couple months now - they have had an overnight and many daycare days. I trust Danielle with their care, they are happy and tired when they get home, and her communication is clear and consistent. She has been a dream find for me!”
“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 .”
“Sultaan was really happy when got picked up. Terry taken care of him really well and she was also giving updates on different times for me to make sure that he is doing goo. Overall Terry did a really good job!! I will always refer my fruends for dog home boarding to Terry.”
“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.”

My home is clean and tidy with space for your fur baby to chill and or play! Carpet free floors!
“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.”
“Kristine was so accommodating… on a last minute booking. She welcomed Ruby with lots of love and enthusiasm. She sent us photos and updates which we we loved. Ruby was well cared for.”

About: Hi, I’m Carley! I grew up on a farm up north, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. From pigs, chickens, rabbits, cows, horses, and sheep to dogs and cats, being surrounded by animals from a young age shaped my passion for animal care. I currently work at a veterinary clinic as a Veterinary Assistant, as well as at a local animal shelter as an Animal Care Attendant. In these roles, I care for a wide variety of animals including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, rabbits, snakes, hamsters, ferrets, rats, mice, and guinea pigs. Working in both veterinary and shelter environments has given me hands-on experience in animal handling, husbandry, monitoring health and behaviour, and providing compassionate care for animals of all ages and needs. I truly love all animals and always go the extra mile for the ones in my care. I currently work full time, but even though I can only stop in twice a day I will always go the extra mile to make sure they are happy, healthy and safe before I leave I am safe, respectful, reliable and trustworthy. I will always make sure your babies are cared for thoroughly and accordingly to their dietary, medical, or other necessary needs. I will always make sure they know they are loved and leave them with a sweet treat (if allowed) before I go. I can’t wait to meet your little fur family members. Talk soon!(:
About: Hello, My name is Tara! I am a customer service representative and dancer on the side, and I'm also a huge animal lover! I’ve always grown up surrounded by so many pets which makes me so compassionate towards every fur baby; I have a sense for dogs especially. I had a 13 year old Miniature Schnauzer/Terrier for almost 10 years who has passed on December of 2021. He was my life. Now I vicariously live through the fur babies I get to spend time with and spoil my favourite little frenchie niece! My favourite thing to do is go out and find new and exciting spots to hike on beautiful Vancouver Island. I've pet sat for a lot of family and friends when they’ve gone out of town. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I currently work part-time and I’m very active so I have lots of time to take out your dog to various hiking spots all over! I live in a safe neighbourhood and place right off Long Lake. I will make sure your fur baby is safe and feels loved and cared for.

About: Animals have been my passion and career for over 10 years. My background includes working in dog daycares, veterinary medicine, and animal control, giving me experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a stay-at-home mom, I'm home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I've welcomed many dogs into my home over the years and treat every pet like family. I currently have one dog and three cats, so my only requirement is that visiting dogs are social and comfortable around other animals. I look forward to giving your pet a safe, loving home away from home! As a stay-at-home mom to one child, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Your pet will be treated like part of the family while in my care. As a stay-at-home mom, I am home most of the day and can provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, medication administration if needed, and lots of attention. Dogs will have access to a safe, comfortable home environment and plenty of supervised interaction. I have one dog and three cats, so I only accept dogs that are social and comfortable around other animals. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed, loved, and at home while you're away.
“Emma was amazing in watching our dog Junebug! Not only did she make sure our dog was fed and taken care of, but she went the extra mile! She took Junebug to the dog park on a regular basis, sent pictures and updates regularly. I can tell my dog was super comfortable with her and her family, and I would highly recommend her to any dog owner looking for a temporary home for your pet while you travel.”
“Clover had the best time while we were away for 10 days. Montana took her on lots of off leash hikes, swimming in the river, and sent us photo and video updates everyday. Clover and Rune got along really well and looked like best buds playing chase. This was the perfect situation for our pup and we couldn't be happier. Will definitely be looking to have Clover stay with Montana again.”
“We felt so lucky to find these folks during a last minute shuffle of our plans for pet care for our dog, Maxwell. We were overwhelmed, running out of time, and stressed for our high energy breed. It was our first experience with a pet sitter and with Rover - and we were so happy with Coraline. We had a chance to meet and have a long discussion about our dog’s needs, and her calm reassuring energy helped us make a really good decision. Max had a great time, and from what I can tell he came home calmer & more grounded than when we left him (and of course we returned calmer!) it really felt like I got a better dog when I came home. We are super happy to have someone Max really enjoys being with if we ever find ourselves taking another trip without him!”
“Lily loved spending the day with Rebecca and her two pups! Rebecca asked all the questions and sent me updates through the day and was super flexible with my booking. I would book with Rebecca again!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dogs with Karuna for the week! She was incredibly sweet, friendly and made us feel comfortable from the moment we dropped them off at her home. Her apartment is thoughtfully set up for pets and it was clear they were in a safe and caring environment. She did a great job managing our dogs’ medications, communicated with us throughout their stay and sent lots of photos and updates. We especially loved seeing pictures of them out on regular walks, which gave us peace of mind that they were getting plenty of exercise and attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“A big shout out to Sylvie-Ann and Stephane for the wonderful care of Huxley. Huxley has a few little issues and they made sure he was comfortable and happy. Their little Yorkshire Lilou (4lbs) and my 95lb Pitty cross enjoyed each other’s company. Lol. Thank you so much for taking care and hope to see you soon.”
