About: Myself and my partner come from dog foster families. For well over a decade, we’ve cared for dogs while they awaited adoption into their forever homes. This includes crate training, vet visits and routine personalized meal plans for these dogs. With this experience, you can feel confident that your dog will be exercised, loved, fed, but most importantly safe. Available fully on weekends for boarding and all-day play! Also available weekdays for boarding, but dog must be crated from 8am-4:30pm. Available on weekdays after 6pm for house visits, walks, etc. We currently raise a beautiful little dog Mabel while on our work routine. My current dog Mabel gets exercised a minimum 1-2 hours a day, often times more on weekends. I believe the majority a behavioral problems in dogs are caused by lack of mental and physical stimulation. I am a strict yet fun owner, as freedom and safety for my dog comes from trust in each other. My household re-enforces good behavior and corrects bad. With that being said… yes, I’m still a total softie for them.
“Sadie was absolutely amazing! She took care of Bentley this weekend like he was her own. She didn't just watch him—she kept him entertained, gave him so much love, and made sure he felt completely at home. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I cannot recommend Sadie enough and will definitely be asking her to watch Bentley again! 🐾❤️”
“Hanna took amazing care of our dog Honey while we were away! She sent regular updates and was very quick to respond anytime I messaged her. Honey will definitely be boarding with Hanna and her family again in the future!”
“Brooke is absolutely bar none the most wonderful pet sitter I have ever had. My little one is crazy and she was calm and great with Brooke. Brooke was kind, accommodating and loving. 1000000% my furever pet sitter. I honestly think Luci wanted to stay with her.”
“I had comfort knowing my furry friend was well cared for. He was never alone and had many friends to play with. Bentley was tired out from all the excitement! I’m very pleased with the loving treatment shown to my boy. Thanks again.”
About: I've house-sitted while taking care of different kinds of dogs large and tiny, I've administered medicine for guinea pigs dogs and cats, I have clipped cat nails for my own and other people's cats, I have experience training my own dogs and other people's dogs which i love to do! I have taken care of my own animals such as guinea pigs, lizards, hamsters, dogs and cats. I currently am unemployed and am in school online with much flexibility, I live with my mother and sister, and home life is very quiet, im home almost all hours of the day. I have a cat who doesn't like other animals but she goes to the basement when she needs to without issues (she loves it down there) I do have a pretty small backyard, I have a big deck and grass. My backyard is fenced in. My house is small but safe!
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the personal experience and dedication I bring as Enzo’s mom. Caring for a French Bulldog has taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s handling the energy of a playful pup, managing breed-specific quirks, or providing comfort and care to senior dogs, I’ve done it all with love and care. I’m also great at creating structured routines, training basic commands, and ensuring pets feel safe and happy in any environment. With me, your pet gets the same love, attention, and respect that I give to Enzo—because every furry friend deserves nothing less! As someone working part-time, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate focused time to caring for pets, ensuring they get the attention, love, and activity they need. I plan my day around walks, playtime, feeding, and any specific care instructions you provide. Whether it’s midday visits, morning strolls, or evening cuddles, I ensure each pet feels cared for and happy while you’re away. Caring for pets, just like I do for Enzo, is more than a task—it’s a joy and a priority in my life In my home: I create a warm, safe, and fun environment where your pet can feel relaxed and loved. With plenty of playtime, cozy spots to rest, and lots of attention, I treat every pet like family—just like I do with Enzo. I follow any special routines or dietary needs closely to keep your pet comfortable and happy. In your home: I respect your pet’s space and routine, making sure to maintain their normal habits to reduce stress. I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship while you’re away. I keep your home secure and clean, updating you regularly so you have peace of mind. No matter where the care happens, your pet’s happiness and well-being always come first!
“Hattie was amazing with our high energy Springer Spaniel. She maintained communication with us and sent lots of pictures through the 5 days we were away. Our dog has been highly anxious in the past, but he settled very quickly with Hattie. She was also really flexible with pick up & drop off - Hattie is highly recommended!”
About: I'm new to Rover, but I've been a dog parent for over 35 years and have been dog sitting for my family and friends as long. Saffy, my Golden/Lab cross is 4, and Ruby, my terrier mix is 13 now. We walk daily with two Golden Doodles, Cosmo and Milo, who we consider part of our pack. My dogs are great with other dogs big or small. Our yard is fenced, and we're next to woods that have great trails with lots to sniff! My dogs are accustomed to a daily routine and can tell time. We walk once or twice daily, they have their breakfast after their morning pee, dinner at 6pm, and a snack after the last pee before bed. They hang out with me or nap during the day and we have playtime after dinner. My dogs have free access to the house and back yard. Ruby has a doggy door and Saffy uses a doggy doorbell to be let in or out. They typically hang out with me but each have their favourite napping spots. Both of my dogs were crate trained and while we don't use them anymore, I do have them available if needed. New doggie guests are closely supervised until we all get to know one another!
About: Grew up with and around dogs. My brother and his chocolate lab are moved out now. I would love to have a dog of my own one day. Hoping to fill the void until then by giving this a try. I currently work full time. I am available from 5pm onwards through out the week for walking. My home is available on weekends for sitting/overnight stays. I live in the country with a large yard and woods behind my house. Great for walks and playing. Dogs are welcome everywhere in house except bedrooms.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Noor E. provided for my cat! She made the whole process easy and stress-free, keeping me updated daily and managing everything perfectly without any issues. When I went to pick up my cat, he looked so happy and even seemed like he wanted to stay with her longer—which says a lot about the amazing connection she built with him! Thank you so much for going above and beyond. Highly recommended!”
“Another great stay with Barbara and Felipe P! I made a mistake with the dog food and they had to run out and get more. Such caring and kind dog sitters. Ginger was very happy to go there again. I am so happy to be confident in letting her stay with these great folks.”
“This was our first time sending Nori for boarding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She stayed with Avijeet for 8 days, and every single day we got updates and photos that made us smile. Nori and Leo became best buddies so quickly, and it was clear she was loved like family. Knowing she was in such a safe, caring, and responsible space gave us complete peace of mind while we travelled. We are so grateful for the care Avijeet and his family gave her. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! Sarah went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, happy, and loved while we were away. We received regular updates and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home relaxed, well cared for, and maybe even a little disappointed to leave! We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely amazing with pets.”
About: Raised on a farm caring for dogs, I’ve taken them boating and fishing, and they always enjoy taking me on long, happy walks wherever we go. I’m their thunderstorm protector and the king pin of snuggle time on every visit. I work from home and my wife is always here, so pets get constant attention. Our days start with walks and end relaxing together outside in our yard. Raised on a farm, I create a safe, calm home for overnight care. We also happily visit other homes for pet relief, keeping routines steady and stress‑free.
“Shakira took great care of our beagle, Pippin. She was accommodating to our last minute need for care and flexible with our pick up time. She kept me updated and sent photos for us to check in. Such a great location close to the highway exit. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
