“I felt very confident leaving my cat with Cristina for a week. Kitty was very content and well cared for while we were gone and came home very content and unfazed and settled right back seamlessly. This is our second time with Cristina and we will definitely be back. Thank you Cristina!”
“Our Seamus had a wonderful time with Janice and Rene They made him feel right at home We appreciated their daily updates and photos Couldn't be happier with the care that they provided”
“Benjamin was accommodating-very flexible on drop off/pick up time. He even sent photos of my furry baby while I was away without me having to ask. My instructions for food and treats feeding were followed. My baby was ready for pickup - bag packed (nothing left behind) including the bed. I will definitely consider Benjamin again next time!”
“Justin was phenomenal. So alert to our dog Dougs needs. He had great communication with us over our weekend away and gave us such good peace of mind. We hope to reunite Doug and Justin again soon!”
“Nothing but good things to say! Justyne was awesome with our dog and sent news and pictures regularly to let us know all was well. It was very reassuring and lovely to have her take care of Mika!!”
“It’s Elie’s second stay with Bruna and she absolutely loves her time there. She always comes back tired and happy. Bruna is truly amazing to deal with. She’s flexible, transparent and she sends lots of updates. Special mention to Peroggie, who Elie seems to like very much!”
“Cathy and her family were the absolute dream caregivers for Winnie while we were away on vacation. We typically leave Winnie at Petsmart but recently learned of Rover and felt confident with Cathy after reading her profile. The meet and greet went so well and we knew we’d made the right choice! Cathy’s communication was unbelievable - we received an update on Winnie and a few pictures every single day. We didn’t have to worry about Winnie being sad and lonely as she looked right at home with Cathy. We will be booking Cathy and family again the next time we go away - they have become Winnie’s extended family.”
“Meri was an exceptional caregiver for my pup while I was away for 4 weeks. She is an experienced dog owner, so she was able to help me problem-solve to make sure my fussy-eater got food and probiotics while I was away - no small feat! She was comfortable administering my pup's medications, and addressing any medical quirks. She stayed in regular contact with me, and notified me right away of any changes or questions. She sent photos almost every day, which helped me relax as I was nervous using this service for the first time. She took the pups for walks in the woods (on leash - per my request) - and sent photos! - and has a nice little backyard space for the pups. She and her husband were home most days so my dog had lots of company. As my dog is older, she made sure my dog had a quiet place to go if she got tired. Her pup, Cooper, was gentle and playful with my dog so that my pup had dog company too while I was away. She was also able to keep her cats separate, as my dog was tentative - but her cats are so sweet that my dog ended up not minding being around them in the end! I would definitely recommend Meri and her household if you need an experienced and responsible caregiver for your pup and need a kind and patient caregiver!”
“Samantha recently looked after my dog Zoey and the experience was fantastic from beginning to end. From the initial meet and greet to the moment I picked her up, I knew Zoey was in caring and capable hands. My dog warmed up quickly to Samantha, and Samantha made my dog feel at home. She provided regular updates, complete with photos and a video, that showed how happy and comfortable my dog was under her care. It was clear Zoey was well cared for, and getting lots of love and attention. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and friendly sitter. My dog had a wonderful time, and I’ll definitely be using Samantha’s services again in the future.”
“Ryan cared for our senior dog while we were out of town for a week. He was professional and personable - a pleasure to deal with. This was the second time we left Scarlett in Ryan's capable care and we were fully at ease. He provided helpful, well-timed updates. On our return Scarlett was very happy. We would not hesitate to book with Ryan again.”
“We are so happy that we found Kathleen! She is extremely professional, caring and dependable and our fur baby Finnegan really enjoyed his stay at her place. Finnegan is already looking forward to his next stay in the not too distant future.”
“Our pup Holly had a fantastic stay with Cassandra. Cassandra was great at communicating and providing updates. On one walk, Holly was a tourist and we got pictures of her in front of Parliament and the Supreme Court!! We would highly recommend.”
“Christine and Jim were absolutely brilliant with George. They took care of him as if he were their own. Christine kept me updated on their adventures. I am definitely going to rebook with them. George came home a happy pup!”
“Kailyn was wonderful with Ghost. He was so happy when we picked him off. She sent lots of photos and updates, and had questions at the meet and greet for how best to make Ghost comfortable. We will be definitely booking with Kailyn in the future!”
“Kelly and her son were great with my dog. They sent me pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. This was my first time using Rover and Kelly was the perfect fit for me. I felt confident with her right away. Thank you!”
“Clayton has been very kind, reliable and accommodating. He is a great sitter that we trust!”
“This is clearly a “labour of love” for you and it shows. Fionn had such a great time. My energetic guy had a long, sound sleep last night which highlights how much fun he had with you all. Thank you for taking such fabulous care of him! It means so much to know he is in good hands.”
“Cookie loves Trudy and Luke! She got spoiled and was always up to something fun, whether walking, playing or exploring. Trudy kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages. I highly recommend her as a boarder!”
“Cathy is an outstanding human being with boundless love for furry babies. She took care of my dog Tammy like her own. She kept me updated throughout Tammy's stay with her and I had complete peace of mind knowing Tammy was with Cathy and her beautiful girl Abby. We had met Cathy and Abby once before Tammy's stay with them and on our way to drop Tammy the second time she got super excited in the car figuring out we were going there again. I recommend Cathy with zero hesitation and will definitely leave her care of my pooch again when needed. Thank you, Cathy.”

Another great visit for Ginny! She loves going to Kathleen’s house, she gets great walks and always comes home tired:)
Cassandra was amazing with Dolton. He felt comfortable right away, and her updates were thoughtful, honest, and full of little details that showed she really paid attention to him. I could tell he was in good hands the entire time. I’ve already booked my next stay with her and can head into vacation without a worry in the world. Highly recommend.
Jiaqi was so sweet with my pup. She took really good care and sent me so many pictures while I was away. Thank you Jiaqi
I recently boarded my dog with Dylan, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! They were incredibly professional and passionate about what they do. From the moment we arrived, I could tell my dog was in good hands. Not only did they take excellent care of him, but they also helped with leash training, which has made a big difference. What really touched me was how attached my dog got—he stood there watching them leave for a long time, which says everything about how well he was treated. It’s not easy to find people who genuinely care about your dog like their own, and I’m so grateful to have found them. Highly recommend!
We're very happy with Brianna, she has watched our little one more than once. She's very genuinely caring and always kept us informed on how our dog Luna was doing,sent daily videos and pictures. We wouldn't trust anyone else but her.
Our golden Archie spent the weekend with Ryan while we went out of town. He usually has a hard time adjusting to new places and doesn’t eat. At Ryan’s he slipped right into their routine, gobbled up his meals and had the best time with the other dogs. Ryan did a Great job keeping us up to speed in how Archie was doing and sent lots of photos. Best boarding experience yet. Thank you Ryan,
Sabrina and her boyfriend took excellent care of our boy while we went on vacation 💕 Sent us photos and was very kind about everything. Thank you so much Sabrina!!! ☺️☺️☺️
Ragnar had the best time!! He came home so tired, he slept for a whole day! He got so much love and we couldn't recommend Alexa enough. Will definitely book again. Also really appreciates the constant updates, and to see her take him out and meet her family
Ann was amazing with my dogs, Maple and Bingo! She took such great care of them — lots of love, attention, and playtime. Bingo can be a bit quiet and Maple is super energetic puppy, but Ann handled both perfectly. We came home to two happy pups! I’d definitely trust her with them again. Highly recommend!
Trudy a été un ange avec notre chien Roméo. Elle l’a baladé, s’en est très bien occupé et nous envoyait des photos. Je recommande cette personne pour garder votre animal. Je suis certaine que Roméo a adoré Trudy. Trudy was an angel with our dog Romeo. She walked him, took very good care of him and sent us pictures. I would recommend her as a pet sitter. I'm sure Romeo loved Trudy.
Super belle expérience pour notre beau Buck avec Mélanie !! Il n'a manqué de rien en plus de se faire une nouvelle amie canine !! Nous sommes très satisfait et recommandons Mélanie. Elle saura prendre soin de votre animal aussi bien que vous durant votre absence !!
Thank you Victoria, Adam and Beau for taking such good care of Lila while we were away from Ottawa! We are very happy to have found you so close to our home. And for Lila to make a new dog friend was a bonus. She came back happy and tired from all the fun she had with Beau. We are certainly going to call you next time we need a dog sitter. Merci encore pour tout!
Tula has enjoyed another holiday with Gerald, Louise, and Sunny (and the cats) in her second home. I'm so happy that she has a wonderful place where she can spend one day a week and stay when I am away. Thank you!
Lara was so great. Prince had so much fun. She took him on hikes and to the park everyday. He seemed very comfortable and enjoyed his time with her. Thanks again!!
Maya was incredibly sweet and patient with our little boy. We felt at ease to enjoy our travels knowing he was in good hands.
We were so lucky to have Sarah taking care of our dog (Chief). We met Sarah ahead of time and we were certain she would be a great person because she is calm and able to manage Chief well. While we were away, Sarah brought our dog to dog parks, and kept us informed about Chief. We recommend Sarah strongly.
Nicole was amazing with Acer!!! She took the time to understand his leash reactivity and went above and beyond for him with lots of exercise and mental stimulation. I also really appreciated all of the updates she sent over the weekend. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting :)
Nicolas was an amazing sitter! He was kind caring and very communicative! Our dog is very anxious and he was very comfortable with Nicolas. We were so happy our pup had such great care. ❤️ we will definitely book again. :) Thanks for everything! :)
I have been using Natalia and Sunny's dog nanny for years. I can trust that she will take care of him well and give him lots of love while I am alway. Last time I dropped him off his tail was accelerated wagging after not seeing her for more than six months so Sunny approved this message!
