“Out of country review here — Shelley is amazing. I'm so glad I found her for my visit to Fergus/Guelph area. My 2 fur babies were comfortable and cared for from the moment we arrived at her place to pick up. I appreciated Shelley sending me updates and pictures every few hours. I will not hesitate to rebook with Shelley 😊”
“Winnie had THE BEST TIME with Arlene and Kevin! Winnie takes a while to warm up to people and Kevin and Arlene gave Winnie the space to do that, but the time she was picked up, Winnie had fully adopted Arlene and Kevin as her people ❤️. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our goofball!”
“Ginny thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Erin and Chad. She was treated like there own. I got daily feedback I didn't have to request it. Erin and Chad are lovely people and true animal lovers. I will be leaving Ginny with them again in the future.I would recommend them to everyone”
“Thank you for watching Pete! Always a great experience when leaving my dog Pete with Shannon. The constant updates were appreciated! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with him :)”
“Suzie is very comfortable with Melissa and enjoys going there. Melissa takes Suzie for a couple of walks daily. We have total confidence in Melissa looking after Suzie. I would highly recommend using Melissa.”
“Paige is so reliable and kind hearted. I can’t thank her enough for helping us out and going the extra mile to make things convenient for us when we needed it. Our pup pup feels so comfortable with her and we highly recommend her if you’re on the hunt for a great sitter!!”
“This is not our first time using Deepti & Sachin. They are great at communicating and keep us updated. Winston always comes back happy and we trust that he is being well taken care of.”
“Meatball absolutely loves John! He gets really excited when we mention his name. John takes super amazing care of meatball, and meatball can be a lot sometimes, and tends to be sneaky. John handles him really well! We love John!!”
“Bego responded quickly to my request for someone to watch Dexter while we had to leave the country for 4 days. With only 2 days’ notice she accepted my submission and explained how the dogs she had would probably be very compatible with my 11 year old dog. While he was very nervous as his eyesight was severely impaired - he did warm up to her and her home quickly. I appreciate that she offered to take him if necessary in the future. Thanks so much Bego! Barb”
About: I'm new to Rover so while I don't yet have any reviews or a "Star Sitter" badge, I am a great choice! My availability is also flexible so if you need dates that do not show as available, please get in touch and I will do my best to accommodate. I love dogs with my whole heart I will treat yours as my own. I provide a calm, loving home where dogs are treated as true members of our family. I’m deeply attentive to their needs, routines and personalities, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at home. Your dog’s happiness, comfort and well‑being will always be my top priority. I am already taking loving care of my own dog, so throwing other dogs into the mix is easy for me.

I have a fenced yard and my own sweet dog who is very social and playful and will love having your dog to pal around with. I can crate your dog if needed and accommodate special needs.
“We had Rusty stay with Wendy and Ian for 12 days. I can't say enough great things about them. Best word ever "Awesome " They walked Rusty everyday, sent pictures, made cute comments. They never for one minute made us feel uncomfortable leaving him with them. He was happy to see us but I'm sure disappointed in leaving them. I highly recommend them to anyone. Rest assured you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Wendy and Ian for all that you did. Until next time.😄🐶”
“We’ve left Jess with Banff a couple of times and he always enjoys his stay. He has loads of fun! Our boy is always happy because of how caring Jess is with him. We appreciate her attentiveness and how trustworthy she is. Thank you Jess for always caring for our Banff. We appreciate you!”
“My two elderly cats stayed with Dorota for three weeks. I knew from the moment I met Dorota that Boston and Octavius would be loved and well taken care of. While we were away she sent photos of them living their best lives being cuddled, sleeping in all the comfiest places, and playing. They obviously felt very comfortable in her house! I’ll definitely be contacting Dorota again when they next need someone to look after them! Thank you Dorota for taking such excellent care of Boston and Octavius.”
“Camila was amazing. Easy communication, shared pictures and videos every day. My dog was happy to stay with Camila, and even though Camila lives far away from my house, I would travel again to leave Jackie at her house. Thanks for everything Camila :)”

We will most definitely be asking Erin & Chad to watch Chase again. They were so easy to.communicate with and always super quick to respond with pictures too. I know Chase was well taken care of and cuddled and that's more than I can ask for in a sitter! More than 5 stars!
Murphy is a nervous but gentle dog who is very attached to me. He had his first stay with Arlene and Kevin and I think everyone had a good experience and they were patient with his comfort level. Murphy was happy when I got back and had eaten so that’s a sign he was comfortable. I think he especially enjoyed the backyard views of squirrels and birds. They sent me an update letting me know he was settling in and that helped put me at ease. I’m happy he’s welcome back and will go for another visit soon!
Shelley stood out immediately when I was searching for a sitter—she had the most reviews and the highest rating. From our first conversation and visit, it was clear that she is experienced, caring, and truly loves animals. While I was traveling, Shelley gave our little fur baby, Double, a wonderful second home. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. She was also very thoughtful and emailed me updates knowing the app might not work while I was overseas. Thank you, Shelley! I truly appreciate the great care you gave Double and would happily book with you again. 🐾
We’ve left Jess with Banff a couple of times and he always enjoys his stay. He has loads of fun! Our boy is always happy because of how caring Jess is with him. We appreciate her attentiveness and how trustworthy she is. Thank you Jess for always caring for our Banff. We appreciate you!
Roscoe had the BEST TIME EVER with Matthew and his roommates. Matthew is clearly a dog lover. He took Roscoe on lots of walks and did a great job looking after him. With such a full house, Roscoe got lots of the attention he craves. Matthew sent lots of updates and photos, so I never had to worry about what was going on with Roscoe. He also responded to messages promptly, which I really appreciate. Thanks to everyone in the house for taking such good care of Roscoe!
Nala loved the stay with Meera, Zack, Finn and Rudy. She quickly became a part of their pack and went on walks with them in their beautiful neighborhood. Her reluctance to come home after fun play time was the evidence we needed that she was taken good care of. Highly recommend Meera & Zack to take care of your fur baby!
