“Tanya is truly amazing, and I could not recommend her enough!! She is truly an animal lover and it’s clear to see. Her updates and pictures of my sweet girl really put my mind at ease while I was away; I never once worried about her. I will absolutely be boarding with Tanya again if I need a sitter. You would not be disappointed booking with her!”
“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.”
“Lovely man!! Gerald was so kind and calm with our very energetic Monty. He has a wonderful doggy which provided Monty with an immediate friend for the duration of his stay. They went on long walks, stared at the cats all day, and snuck into Gerald’s bed at night!! My dog was provided a huge basket of toys to play with and unfettered access to wonderful chew toys. We got regular pictures and updates and didn’t have a worry at all when away for a few days. Thank you.”
“One of the best experiences we had in terms of boarding. Our dog stayed with Akanksha for 1 night and it was great. She kept sending us updates and Pablo looked very happy. Definitely recommended”
“Thank you so much to Maria! You can tell that she really loves animals. She was so wonderful, caring and attentive to my dog's needs. She took care of my dog like it was one her own, even my dog missed her when we left! Thanks so Maria! Would love to use her again for my Doggy in the future!”
“Casey and Daniel took amazing care of Bronx, they took the time to know every detail of his routine to ensure his stay was an enjoyable as possible. They sent regular updates and fantastic pictures, in which we were able to tell just how happy and content Bronx was, this put us at ease while we were away. They were flexible, incredibly kind and welcoming with a nice home set up for any dog to enjoy. Thank you Casey and Daniel! I highly recommend them for your dog needs and care, Bronx will be back with them again!”
“Our dog Pepper had an amazing time staying overnight with Kathrine and her family. Kathrine provided lots of updates and photos and took great care of our anxious girl. Pepper came home happy and tired from a great weekend at Kathrine’s. We will definitely reach out to Kathrine again when we need a sitter for Pepper!”
“Cristina is an excepcional doggy sitter! She is truly the best❤️ she is very loving and attentive. My fur baby was in great hands. It’s hard to trust someone you just met with your family member but during the meet and greet we just knew she was the one and we were right! Thank you for taking wonderful care of cooper! We recommend her to everyone!”
“Jennifer provided excellent care to my (nervous 17 yr old) dog Rosie. She was so kind and gave daily updates and photos. I was able to enjoy my time away without worrying. I highly recommend Jennifer and I will definitely book with her again”
“Natasha took great care of Daisy while we were away for 2 weeks. She sent regular updates and photos which was very reassuring, especially since this was the first time we’d left our dog with anyone. My only concern was that she wouldn’t want to come back home! We will definitely be bringing Daisy back, and highly recommend Natasha to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Sanjana was great! Super flexible and reliable with scheduling. My cat was well-cared for and happy while I was away. Frequent updates and great communication. Highly recommend!”
“Suzanne was wonderful with Alfie. He was healing from an injury and she took great care of him and dosed out his meds perfectly. She communicated with us every day and let us know how he was doing. When we picked him up, he was happy and not at all stressed.”
“Sophie is an excellent sitter! I highly recommend her services. She took the time to get to know my dog and was very thorough in preparing for her stay. She went out of her way to ensure my dog was well cared for and had really great communication throughout the weekend. I felt very comfortable leaving my pet with her and I can see my dog felt comfortable as well!”
“Daisy really enjoyed her first visit with Raquel. She has a beautiful big fenced in backyard and Daisy had fun exploring with another doggy friend. Daisy is a Lot of energy and into everything. Raquel assured me she could handle it and she did. Daisy is looking forward to her next visit!”
“After having read such excellent reviews of Madeline and Ryan, we felt completely assured to leave our 2 year old dog with them. And they turned out to be exactly as the reviews said (excellent). Given our dog is quite timid in nature, we appreciate the patience and understanding that both Madeline and Ryan showed. We also appreciate the honest feedback that helped us learn about it our little one’s personality outside our home. We would definitely return to them in future.”
“Our dog Bulma had a great time with Daniel & Sarah! Bulma had lots of playtime in their yard, which was a good change for her because we live in a condo building. They always answered and gave us updates throughout her stay, and it seems that she still misses the entire family. Thank you for taking such good care of Bulma!”

Andrea is absolutely awesome! She is so sweet at heart and genuinely loves dogs, attentively caring for their needs. Truely feel blessed to have found her and trust her for 3 straight weeks with my 7-mo old Cocker Spaniel named Cookie (Monster). Indeed he can be rowdy and anxious but Andrea's experience and demeanor ensured he was well handled and cared for despite his behavior. Sometimes you just get a feeling about people; within seconds of meeting Andrea, I knew she would be his dog-sitter, and felt so much relief while I was able to take a rare vacation. Naturally, we communicated lots during Cookie's stay at her place. She sent pics, updates and even tips on how to train him better. I witnessed firsthand just how her vibe and energy is able to tame the wild beast within Cookie, better than I can, despite having had a Springer Spaniel for 12 years before. Can't recommend her enough if you're ever looking for a great dog sitter that is trustworthy, caring and loving.
Kathleen took such good care of my dog; she gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She took her out on long walks, gave her indoor and outdoor playtime and sent regular detailed updates. My dog came home very happily tired. I don't think she wanted to leave! Thank you Kathleen!
Our nervous dog had an amazing stay with Cassandra. Cassandra really made Willow feel at ease and she was soon being a cuddle bug. We got lots of photos and updates, and Cassandra was very flexible and responsive. It made our first experience with Rover really easy and we will definitely use Cassandra again!
My Dog Monty is always so relaxed when I pick him up after a weekend he has spent in Bruna’s home. He is usually anxious about being away from me but with Bruna he is super happy and runs into her house all excited when we get there and pretty chilled when I collect him. I think it must feel like a great play date for my dog when he is with Bruna and her other gentle dogs. Am super happy to leave him in her care.
Caralyn and Ethan were the perfect sitters for our cat over the holiday! They were very thorough and communicative both before and during Louis’s stay at their apartment, and so friendly and enthusiastic about hosting. I was amazed that we were their first time pet sitting for Rover - I would have thought they were long-time pros! Louis had a great time with them. It was such a comfort to know that he was staying with people who adored him as much as we do. We will definitely be rebooking with Caralyn and Ethan the next time we need a sitter!
I am so glad we Shuvendu to tke cre of our cat Pandoro! We received regulr updates while we were away which was SO reassuring. Also, his place was great for a cat like mine who is active because is was a safe home with another cat to keep him company :) Highly recommended :)
Nathalie was the most accommodating and wonderful dog sitter for Charlotte. Charlotte is not straight forward to introduce to other dogs and Nathalie was willing to try anyways and it worked out so well! I’m so glad Charlotte got to hang out with some other dogs over the holidays and plenty of walks and cuddles. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Audrée took excellent care of Boris while we were away. She treated him as part of her family. I got lots of pics of him sprawled on their bed and with their dog. Also, she’s bilingual! She really helped us when our old Dogsitter canceled 2 days before our trip, and then again when our return flight was cancelled and she took care of Boris for an extra night at the end. We would def recommend Audrée!
Leah looked after our Bernese puppy many times during our stay in Canada, and he absolutely loved his time with her. He was so excited to see her every time, and she was so relaxed and put our kind at ease about everything. She is very professional and communicative, and genuinely lovely person. Thanks again Leah!
Sabrina and Joel looked after our 2 dogs for 4 days while we were out of town. They were great! Sabrina communicated with us often, sending updates, photos, and even a video. Our pups were clearly happy and comfortable, and really well taken care of. We were a little concerned about leaving one of our dogs, who tends to be anxious around new people, but Sabrina and Joel won him over quickly, and he was totally fine. They are obviously quite competent and knowledgeable learn it comes to dogs. We won’t hesitate to call on them again. They’re fantastic!
We are so grateful to have found Trudy through Rover. She was absolutely amazing—so considerate, caring, and truly an animal lover. Trudy went above and beyond by sending us daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for and loved as if he were her own. We honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. Trudy is not only a wonderful sitter but also a wonderful human being. We feel very fortunate to have had her care for our dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate.
