“Janine and her family took such great care of Natty-Bo! Lots of fun play-time, couch snuggles, photos and love. This was our first time leaving our pup and we had zero concerns while we were away. Thank you so much for that peace of mind!”

About: ❇️ I pay close attention to animals in my care, I'm always looking out for their safety and well-being. I only host one or two dogs at a time so things stay calm and comfortable. This lets me focus on each dog and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for. My goal is simple: help your dog feel safe, happy, and at home — and give you complete confidence that they’re being well cared for. ❇️ Boarding - Bookings are available most weekends of the year from Friday evening to Sunday evening. ❇️ Dog walking - I'm available for dog walks most mornings and evenings throughout the year. ❇️ Day Care - I have daytime availability during July and August + winter/spring breaks + all stat/bank holidays. I work for the school district full time September-June. ❇️ I have a fully fenced yard, and space in my home for crates, bowls, and toys. Safety is important to me. If you have any concerns, or if your dog has special needs, please provide details prior to drop-off. I want to ensure your pet has a fun and happy stay.

“Rosie absolutely loved her stay with Alexia and her Golden Girls. The booking was easy to make with prompt and courteous communication. I would definitely recommend Alexia as a warm and friendly environment for your fur baby. I've already rebooked her for a summer stay for Rosie.”

About: I grew up caring for three dogs of my own — two small breeds and one large dog — so I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I understand how important routine, exercise, and attention are for a pet’s well-being. In addition to my personal experience, I completed a canine training course where I learned how to better understand dog behavior, communication signals, and positive reinforcement techniques. I have experience helping dogs improve their obedience, learn basic commands, and even practice fun tricks using reward-based methods only. I am responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Since I have my own vehicle, I can easily commute and handle any necessary errands or emergencies. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and caring environment so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure I have enough time for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I am available all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and from Monday to Thursday after 4:00 PM. However, I understand that every pet owner has different needs, and I am flexible whenever possible to accommodate specific schedules. I am organized, responsible, and committed to maintaining each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all care instructions carefully, and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors are secure, monitor the pet closely during walks, and provide a calm, clean, and safe environment at all times. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and responsibility.

Tina has had another wonderful experience with Catherine’s overnight care! Tina is a big, powerful girl and she’s really strong, so safety is always top of mind for me when choosing who to trust with her. Catherine is strong and capable herself, and she handles Tina with confidence and care, so I never have to worry. Tina loves Catherine so much that she’s often sad to say goodbye. If you have a large or strong dog and want someone you can truly rely on, Catherine is the one to call!

Cat was great with Hank, she treated him like her own. He spent lots of time outside in the yard with the other dogs. He was pretty tired when we picked him up. Would definitely book with her again.

You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile. Look at other pet parent reviews and repeat pet parent booking rates for an idea of their pet care exp erience.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
