“Ben took such great care of Toby. We received many updates and fun photos. Ben made sure Toby felt right at home and at ease. I’m sure Toby is looking forward to another stay! Thank you Ben!”
“Tara and Jason took such great care of our precious Ollie. I felt so comfortable knowing he was being taken care of by such a loving and caring home. We got lots of photos and updates, I would highly recommend and will be rebooking!”
“I was a little nervous leaving Casear, but Colin took such great care of him. He kept me updated with pictures, which really gave me peace of mind, and he was very flexible and easy to communicate with. I really appreciate everything he did, and I would definitely book him again in the future.”
“Milissa took such great care of our dog Polly while we were away. She was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. We really appreciated how she kept in touch throughout, sending us regular updates and adorable photos. It gave us total peace of mind. She also noticed that Polly had some extra energy and adjusted her walks to give her a bit more time and activity—something we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using Milissa again. Highly recommend!”
“Zenopia is pure gold in human form. From the moment we connected, communication flowed like a happy tail wag. She sent tons of photos and thoughtful updates, so I always knew my pup was safe, loved, and probably living their best vacation life. Treats were plentiful, attention was constant, and my dog came home relaxed and ridiculously happy. If dogs could write reviews, mine would add extra stars and a thank-you card. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Gail and Felicity were amazing, great communication and the cutest photos, Tux was clearly relaxed and enjoying his time with them! Gail and Felicity have lots of experience/knowledge to handle all kinds of dogs and different temperaments, it was very much appreciated and I recommend highly. Thank you!”
“Trish is the best sitter we've ever had! We boarded Krypto for 3 days which became 4 due to unforeseen circumstances and Trish was lovely about everything. She treated Krypto like family and is our goto now. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend her services”
“We had a great experience with Shawna and family. They were very attentive, provided regular updates/pictures, and were flexible with pickup/dropoff. We were able to enjoy our vacation without the usual guilt because we knew our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Marisa watched Ellie for me very last minute over night. I was nervous about leaving Ellie but Marisa made Ellie and I feel very comfortable. Ellie was very happy and looked really content in the lovely photo’s and updates Marisa provided while Ellie was in her care. When I picked Ellie up she was very happy and grounded. Your pup will enjoy their stay at this loving, kind home and you will have a feeling of confidence when you drop your pup off and meet Marisa. I will use Marisa again without hesitation and I would recommend Marisa 110%.”
About: I've had a dog since I was 12 years old I appreciate how important dogs are to their owners. Every dog deserves to feel their best. I am a student and off for the summer so I have plenty of time to fit my schedule around you and your little ones needs. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for playing around. There's also lots of space indoors where your pet can relax on a comfy couch.
“Emily was an amazing pet sitter for Joy and Hope! From start to finish, she was professional, reliable, and very caring. Joy and Hope were happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after while we were away. Emily kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. 🐾💛”
“Natasha and her husband took excellent care of my puppy while I was out of province for a few days. They followed my instructions thoroughly and took great pride in providing pictures daily. I will definitely book with them again.”
“My dog Rupert had a wonderful time staying with Renita, I couldn’t recommend her more! She asked very thoughtful questions about his needs and preferences which demonstrated great knowledge and comfort working with dogs of all kinds! But most of all I could tell that Rupert was very well loved. This was in the way she spoke about and interacted with him — he was instantly comfortable in her care. I loved that Renita provided photo updates throughout the day so that we could stay in contact and I never felt that far away. Will rebook in a heartbeat 💗🐶”
“Tigmi had a great time with Audrey. 5-star review all the way. Tigmi had a great time with her dogs and Audrey kept me abreast of all the fun the pooches were having. Thanks Audrey, much appreciated.”

Dartmouth dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kelly was terrific with my dog Hippo. He stayed overnight for several days and she took excellent care of him. She was an excellent communicator. She took him on walks and adventures, above and beyond. She even took my pet sitting request on short notice when my original Rover sitter cancelled last minute. Finding her was our lucky day! Highly recommend Kelly (and Patrick).
I was a little nervous leaving Casear, but Colin took such great care of him. He kept me updated with pictures, which really gave me peace of mind, and he was very flexible and easy to communicate with. I really appreciate everything he did, and I would definitely book him again in the future.
We had such a fantastic experience with Milissa. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease leaving Teddy our cocker spaniel with her. She provided daily updates that were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was so nice to see how happy and well cared for he was while we were away. He got out for walks every day on the local trails in the nearby park, which he absolutely loved. She also handled his daily medication seamlessly, which was a huge relief for us. It’s clear she is attentive, responsible, and genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Great experience! We reached out to Claire on short notice before an overnight trip. Not only was she able to take both our dogs, but she was very friendly, sent updates, and was very accommodating of our needs. Her space is excellent and very dog-friendly. Would absolutely book again!
We left our dog Flurry with Carolina for a week, and we're thrilled with her! She sent us lots of pictures of what Flurry got up to over the week, from their walks together to hanging out. From what we could tell, Flurry was very happy, he got lots of walks, and was very well taken care of. The best evidence of this? When I picked Flurry up, he was happy to see me--but he was not in a hurry to leave! He seemed very happy, and likely made a new friend with Carolina's dog, who is very friendly. We'd recommend her to anyone, and will definitely get in touch with her again when we need a dog sitter we can rely on. Thanks again, Carolina!
Trish is the best sitter we've ever had! We boarded Krypto for 3 days which became 4 due to unforeseen circumstances and Trish was lovely about everything. She treated Krypto like family and is our goto now. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend her services
I was hesitant to leave Libby, our German Shepherd for 10 days with someone new, but I really felt comfortable leaving her with Reilly. Just felt that she was trustworthy and really loves animals. Libby got alot of attention from Reilly; alot of exercise which she needs. We got pictures while we were away which was nice, and Reilly was very responsive. So we could be on vacation knowing everything was all good. Thanks!
Katerina was absolutely amazing with our Mocha they kept me updated with messages and photos. This was the first time we ever left Mocha and we felt very comfortable doing so we would definitely choose Katerina the next and we highly recommend her Mocha had the best care and we r truly thankful we found her
