1. Olivia C.

“Olivia was really great! She checked in on my dog while I was at work, and made sure she was comfortable. She sent me pictures and let me know how my dog was doing, and was super flexible with my changing schedule. I felt like my dog was safe and in good hands with Olivia.”


2. Dana M.


“Dana was fantastic! We got really fulsome updates and lots of photos of our rabbit while on vacation, and we felt that our pet was in good hands while we were away. Dana is communicative and prompt, and took really good care of Fig - we would definitely like to book her again in the future, and recommend her to other pet owners!”


3. Marie L.

“I hired Marie after moving to the island. It has been a chaotic time. She was great with Luke and very understanding of how frazzled I was. She is a cooperative sitter that I would hire again.”


4. Isabella H.

“Isabella was a great help to look after my puppy and adult dog. She was great at communication and sent nice photos as well. I'd definitely recommend her for dog care.”


5. Mya J.

“When Mya met Milo, I knew she was the one to watch him. She treats him as I'd hope anyone would, with lots of love and kindness and enthusiasm and patience :)”


6. jay M.

“Excellent service, very professional.”


7. Anthony W.
“Tony is a genuinely kind-hearted, calm-spirited animal lover who easily loves and gets love from cats and dogs alike. He is thoughtful and respectful of both the environment he is occupying and for those around him - dog and cats are no exception and the same goes for other peoples spaces. I would not hesitate to recommend Tony to anyone needing a fun-loving human to take care of their beloved companions in their home.”


8. Taryn B.
“Taryn has always been drawn to animals. She spends a tremendous amount of time and energy to make sure that they are well kept and well trained. She consistently studies and learns about animal care practices. She has a huge heart and pets perceive that.”


9. Rachel M.
“Rachel & Luke are the best pet caretakers anyone could ask for. They have looked after our two Border Collies and cat many times. We have left our pets with them for lon periods of time and have also had them check in or walk them. These two are incredibly talented with all animals, our pets LOVE them. They will give your babies all of the love and attention, giving you great piece of mind. I can't recommend Rachel & Luke enough!”


10. Jodi E.
“Would 10 out of 10 recommend Jodi to take care of your fur babies like she would her own. My 2 dogs are always over the top excited to see Jodi & her 2 dogs.”


11. Bailey C.

“My girl Teaka had a great time with Bailey. You could tell when i picked her up how they interacted together & she gave him kisses before we left. I had a full day of errands around Abbotsford / Chilliwack and coming far out of town it was difficult for me to syncronize everything but Bailey was so accomodating & it made my day much smoother. I would happily leave Teaka with Bailey again.”


12. Owen & Tatiana G.


“This was our first time using Rover and leaving the boys with someone new in the last 2 years. Owen and Tatiana were wonderful. They were amazing with their communication and keeping us up to date. Both kitties seemed very content and happy when we got home and our usual shy Linus seemed to be more social with them then other folks he has met multiple times! They had to give Charlie his thyroid medication twice a day and handled this with no issues. Super trustworthy and lovely folks that we wouldn’t hesitate to book again and again! Thank you so much!”


13. Gammy B.

“Gammy looked after our 2 kitties for 10 days in July ‘24. He was on time and attentive during our initial meeting and enquired about the cats’ schedules and needs. He is calm and sensible with pets; inspiring confidence. He was both responsible and responsive while we were away -answering questions about my cat behaviours and health (she has asthma). I definitely recommend his services: he is trustworthy, diligent, and respects our privacy. Additional duties were to water the plants in our front patio - he did an excellent job of this as the planters dry out fast in a heatwave.”


14. Paige B.

“Paige was great at attending to our cat's unique needs!”


15. Hubert L.
“Hubert cared for my dog multiple times, and we walked my dog together sometimes as well. I see he has a big heart for dogs. He treats them with respect and kindness. My large dog can be quite difficult and reactive to animals or sounds, and Hubert manages to remain calm and control the situation.”


16. Kolbi & Andrew W.

“I really couldn’t have asked for more. Kolbi is absolutely fantastic, faultless. Her genuine care for our kitty was so appreciated and the daily updates were special. I can’t thank you enough, Kolbi and Andrew, you made our trip care free knowing our cat was in your hands. Thank you.”


17. Matthew P.
“I can guarantee that Matthew will give your fur baby the kind of care you are looking for. He is extremely experienced when it comes to dogs and their behaviours.Matthew has taken a lot of time to research and then put into use many techniques for training and understanding dogs.He has been able to train my dog Freyja to heal,and also to run along side him on his bike using actual dog sled command.He was the main trainer for Freyja and used positive reinforcement throughout and I am now the very impressed and happy owner of a wonderful furbaby of my own.To wrap this up I can truly say that I would use Matthews services without any worries about the safety and happiness of my dog. He is calm,caring and trustworthy. He is a 5 star rating 🐕🐩🐾 Karen Scott”


18. Lauren H.
“Lauren is so amazing with dogs! As a dog owner herself she knows exactly what dogs need, is safe, responsible, kind and caring. I would leave my dogs with her anytime. Her own dog Dolly is so sweet and gets on with all dogs. I always feel good going away on a trip knowing I'm leaving Duke with Lauren and Dolly the doodle.”


19. Tanya G.

“This was our first time using Rover for a check in and Tanya was amazing! We really appreciate the great communication, details of her visit and photo of Bentley. It made us feel a lot more comfortable with leaving him for his first night alone. Thank you so much!”


20. Kaleena Y.
