“Penelope and Maxime took great care of Flicka during her stay. They were kind, reliable, and kept us well informed throughout the weekend, giving us complete peace of mind. Flicka came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely trust them with her again. Highly recommended! 😀 Penelope et Maxime se sont très bien occupés de Flicka pendant son séjour. Ils ont été attentionnés, fiables et nous ont bien tenus au courant tout au long de la fin de semaine, ce qui nous a vraiment rassurés. Flicka est revenue heureuse et en pleine forme. Nous n’hésiterons pas à leur confier Flicka de nouveau. Nous les recommandons sans hésitation 😀”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I’ve spent over 3 years working in a veterinary clinic, where I’ve supported pets with all kinds of personalities, medical needs and routines. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, and animals who may be nervous or need a little extra patience. My background also means I can safely give medication, monitor for illness, and provide extra support when needed. What matters most to me is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I take the time to follow their routine and get to know them. I will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine, and we’re available most of the time. We genuinely enjoy being around animals, so your pet will always have company, attention, and care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left unattended, and we make their safety, comfort, and happiness our top priority so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We always like to do a meet-and-greet first to make sure your pet feels relaxed and comfortable with us before any booking. We provide a calm, quiet home environment with no other pets, so your pet will receive our full attention. We’re also located near the Ottawa River, with access to large green spaces that are perfect for safe, enjoyable walks. Whether in our home or yours, we focus on following your pet’s routine closely and creating a stress-free, secure environment where they feel at home.
“Abbie had a wonderful time with Sylvie, their family and dog. We got frequent updates with great pictures and videos of Abbie in the house and on long walks. It was evident that Abbie was very well taken care of. We whole heartedly recommend Sylvie to take care of your dog, and we will for sure board Abbie with Sylvie again.”
“Ryan took fantastic care of our dogs, with lots of running, having other dogs for them to play around with, and making sure Ellie was getting her medicine. The lovely pictures he sent frequently were the icing on the cake”
“This was out second time leaving our two Bostons with Kathleen, both were excited to arrive. I know they are well care for and loved in her care! Grateful that I have found a sitter who is so responsible and loving with my dogs.”
“Shannon and her partner did a great job looking after our large dog. She was open to a meet and greet in advance where she asked lots of questions to understand our dog’s needs and behaviours. During his stay, we received regular updates. It clear our dog was very comfortable in Shannon’s home and we’d happily have her watch our dog again.”
“Lenny had a wonderful overnight stay with Mihoko and Josh. While he’s been in their care for daycare, this was his first overnight with them. We received several awesome photos and updates. He had many walks and a lot of playtime. We picked up a tired, happy pup :)”
“Lynda was amazing with our Maltipoo while we were away for the weekend. She was extremely communicative and sent us tons of pictures of how he was doing. Our dog was very relaxed when we picked him up and we could tell he had fun there. We will definitely bring him back the next time we're traveling.”
“Judy is a wonderful dogsitter. Our pup was delighted to spend time with her. You know when there is a connection and genuine love for dogs - Judy is that person. So grateful that we can have a peace of mind when we have to leave our puppy for a few days with Judy.”
“Michael and family are very friendly people and great pet sitters. They have a nice setting with a large backyard where the dog can play. They took great care of our Loulou, and we know she got all the love, attention, and exercice she needed. We received updates and photos. We feel very lucky we found Michael and will contact him again with no hesitation.”
“Duane and Anna were an amazing host for Zuko. Duane send us many pictures and videos of our Zuko during the day. The communication was excellent. The Zuko seem to have had so much fun. He got tons of exercise and playtime. Ana groomed Zuko as well and she did a fantastic job. Will for sure use them again.”
“Nous étions tout aussi enthousiaste que la première fois de confier à Carolina l'hébergement de notre Frimousse (berger anglais énergétique de 2 ans 30 kg) pour deux séjours en novembre dernier. Manifestement la passion et l'énergie de Carolina ont clairement rendu le séjour de Frimousse agréable… eh oui il nous l’a dit! C’est toujours aussi rassurant pour nous de savoir que chez Carolina Frimousse sera aux petits soins…. Nous n’hésiterons de faire appel à Carolina dans le futur et recommandons ses excellents services.”

If you’re ever looking for a dog person to take care of yours - Andrea is the girl to do it! My dog came home so calm and happy, which is all we needed to know. She was very attentive to his needs and gave us updates on a regular basis. I would not hesitate to book with her again!
C'était la 2e fois que nous faisions garder nos 2 chiens par eux, et encore une fois tout s'est super bien passé. Nos chiens étaient très contents de les revoir, ce qui nous a tout de suite rassurés. Ils ont vraiment bien pris soin d'eux et nous avons eu l'esprit tranquille pendant notre absence.
Cassandra is a gem! I felt listened to when communicating the dogs needs, she was interested in learning about their routine, likes and dislikes. She also put all winning combinations forward by meeting the dogs first and allowing them to visit her home before our holidays. You can see she is a true dog lover. Cassandra provided daily updates with pictures, which was very reassuring! Thank you Cassandra!
Caralyn & Ethan C recently took my cat into their loving home for almost a month while I was travelling. They were very helpful and warm and communicated well with me to ensure that all my cat’s necessities, vet information and means to communicate with me were sorted out in advance of the dropoff day. I received adorable little updates and photos of my pet living her best life in their care - it was very comforting. They also brought my cat in for a checkup one evening and kept me posted every step of the way. I highly recommend Caralyn & Ethan C to any cat parents out there who want to KNOW that their cat is going to be loved and well looked after. Having that kind of peace of mind helped me actually make the most of my trip and not just be agonizing over not being with my cat. Thank you!!
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 :)

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
