“We had such a great experience with Katherine. The daily updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear Quinn was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. It made being away so much easier. I truly can’t recommend Katherine enough!”
“Rieko was perfect for our dog. Our old cocker spaniel still loves to play and loves attention. Rieko gave our dog a variety of activities and lots of cuddles. Many pictures were sent to us. It gave us a sense of relief and confidence that our dog was at the best place away from us.”
“Jillian was amazing. Lots of updates with photos. Our Luna really seemed to love her. She also took Luna on some good hikes/walks as she requires lots of exercise. Will definitely use her again!!”
“We were incredibly fortunate to find Emilie & Vitaly to take care of Sadie while we were away for the week. From the very beginning, Emilie’s communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured. The daily photos and updates were wonderful and gave us peace of mind knowing that Sadie was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. It was clear that she was in loving and capable hands. We would highly recommend Emilie & Vitaly and their children to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Sadie!”
“Anne and Andrew are always so great with Luna. She loves them and is so comfortable in their care. We were away for a good amount of time and Luna was welcomed into their home like family, as she always is. She's always a little sad when it's time to come home. 😅”
“Renay is immediately welcoming and very kind. She made sure she had as much information as she could about my dog before caring for him. I was very grateful to Renay for caring for my Milo, and felt he was in great care.”
“Bobbi is so lucky to have Adi and Ipshita taking care of her. They go above and beyond and we are so appreciative. They love our Princess Bobbi as much as we do, and we are grateful. 5 Stars and more.”
“Geo and Amanda were great! Lots of pictures sent for updates the dogs were extremely comfortable and happy to be with them. We’ve already rebooked for the next time! Thanks so much”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd of my own along with a cat and a bunny! My dog would love to join all of the adventures but also understands that not everybody wants to be friends! I am currently work a part time job and have a flexible schedule! I am available mornings, afternoons and nights! This includes weekends as well. I have an unfenced yard and my dog is let outside by leash. This is compensated by MANY walks in a day and lots of adventures. My home is spacious and my dog is extremely welcoming and loves to make fur friends.
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”
“Michelle and Robert were great with my pup and he seemed to have an enjoyable time staying with them. They seem to have a genuine love for dogs and I would highly recommend them to care for your canine friend”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, and more since childhood. While also training several dogs in that time. My experience goes far beyond the basics. I worked at Pet Valu and also ran an exotic animal company where we bought and sold animals to individuals and businesses. This unique work meant we often housed a variety of animals with little notice and for short periods, requiring us to quickly build trust and provide excellent care. Though it was bittersweet to say goodbye, welcoming new animals into our space was always exciting. While only the dogs needed walks, every animal, from lizards to hamsters, received dedicated enrichment time outside of their enclosures each day. Occasionally, we even did in-home visits for clients, and I always enjoyed making animals feel safe and happy in their own environments. I truly believe animals provide us with unmatched emotional support and joy. I treat every pet like my own with love, patience, and attention to their individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my life because I make my own work schedule and have a lot of flexibility, especially on weekends. This allows me to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve without rushing or distractions. Caring for animals doesn’t feel like a job to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I’m able to fully focus on making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my clients' home, I prioritize their routine, comfort, and safety. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime preferences, and any medications or special needs. I always respect the client’s home, keeping things tidy, locking up securely, and treating the space as if it were my own. I understand that pets feel most at ease in familiar surroundings, so I make sure to create a calm and positive atmosphere, giving lots of affection, attention, and consistency to help them feel happy and secure while you're away.
“I totally trust Dalton to guide our puppy towards being a healthy, happy, balanced and connected dog that naturally is a pleasure to be around. Puppies grow so fast, and it makes me feel so good to know that he is in great hands with Dalton.”
“Second time leo has went over and they have made him feel right at home! What a amazing and wonderful experience it is to have a family that cares so much for your dog like its their own family! Thank you so much! Highly recommended!”
“Marc, Alysia and boys were an amazing family for our 2 dogs. They got all the extra love and care they needed and I’m so thankful. The regular pictures and updates made me feel so secure knowing they were doing well. Almost too well!!! I think my puppy Sunny would have been happy to move in permanently! Thanks again!”
“Shelley was an absolute dream dog sitter! She sent us lots of photos and even printed off an adorable picture and framed it of our dogs. She clearly just loves dogs and we will definitely use her again! This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience.”

We had such a wonderful experience with Katherine! Our 8-month-old puppy Ozzy, was well cared for. Katherine kept in touch with numerous photos/Videos giving us peace of mind, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry. We truly appreciate the care and love shown to our puppy Ozzy and would highly recommend Katherine as a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for treating our Ozzy like your own! 🐾❤️
Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!
We left our little guy overnight with Angi for the first time and she was wonderful with our senior boy. He has very serious separation anxiety from his humans, so she kept us informed of when he settled down, she played with him, set pictures, and in the end he was very calm when I picked him up. Will definitely be boarding him with Angi again. Her place is clean, debris free - perfect for pets, she obviously loves animals and knows what they need. She's also great with people which is important for me :)
Michelle is the most awesome dog sitter!! We just moved to Collingwood and Michelle was our pick for our 80 lb Bernedoodle, Ziggy. Ziggy loved his walks and playtime with the other dogs. Michelle handles dogs well. She is highly organized and sent some really good photos of Ziggy’s activities with her. Ziggy had a visible smile on his face for several days after his first visit with Michelle.
