“Camila has watched my 3 dogs a couple times now and has been wonderful. She has been very accomidating, replys super quick and sends photos and videos throughout the dogs stay. I would highly recommend her to anybody.”
“Sara was fantastic with our dog Willy. She sent photos and videos regularly showing what they were doing. She embraced Willy as part of her family, and he was very happy and had a wonderful time with her. The pics made me very confident that he was being well cared for and loved and helped me to relax on my trip. I would definitely book Sara again, and would recommend her.”

“We booked Linda thru Rover for Willows stay while we attended Christmas Eve and Day festivities with family. Linda was great. She went the extra mile, sending us pictures through out the stay, taking her for walks in the snow, which she loved, making her toast and eggs for breakfast and making our pet a part of her Christmas. We highly recommend having Linda pet sit your pet. We will definitely have her again. 5 stars!”

About: We’re a family of four with our own 4-year-old Golden Retriever, Cosmo, so we understand daily routines, playtime, patience, and lots of affection. Our fenced garden provides a safe space for supervised outdoor time, and someone is always around to give pets attention and company. We’re calm, attentive, and happy to accommodate puppies (potty trained) who are still learning as well as senior pets who need a gentler pace and extra care Pet care fits naturally into our routine. We work from home, so pets get consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day.Since we’re used to caring for our own dog, pets staying with us easily fit into our family’s rhythm and receive consistent attention and care. We provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine. In our home, pets enjoy a safe space, regular walks, playtime, and supervised time in our fenced yard.
“Catharine and her family were great with our babies. I loved getting all the pictures and seeing how comfortable they were in her home. It was nice to be able to relax and know they were well taken care of.”
“Thank you so much Francisco for taking such amazing care of Harry! We really appreciated how thoughtful you were in prepping for his visit and the updates. We were so relieved that Harry seemed to take right away to Francisco and he came home relaxed and not anxious like he has been coming home from a boarding place. Thank you so much Francisco for taking such wonderful care of Harry!”
About: Hi, my name is Pei! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dedicated rescuer with extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals. Over the years, I’ve shared my life with everything from rabbits and rodents to cats and large dogs. My journey started with a German Shepherd, and I also cared for two beloved rabbits for eight wonderful years. Our day starts early with a peaceful routine. After I’ve tended to my cats and the chicken coop, the dogs head out into our two-acre yard. For guest dogs, outdoor time is always supervised and on-leash (or a long-line) to ensure they stay safe near our forest boundary. Adventure & Exercise: We are an active household! I love exploring trails like Crane or Hanlon. While my Bernese Mountain Dog enjoys off-leash time, I only take guest dogs to off-leash parks or on hikes if I have the owner's explicit permission and I am confident in the dog's recall. Otherwise, we enjoy wonderful, long 'sniffaris' on-leash through the forest trails right behind my house. Daily Routine: In the summer, we live outdoors! We spend hours in the backyard playing fetch and catch. We typically do at least one 4–5 km hike per day. When we aren't hiking, your pup will be relaxing in our home, treated like a member of the family. We are looking for new pack members to join our daily adventures and enjoy the Puslinch country life with us! Safety is my absolute priority. We are lucky to have a beautiful two-acre property, but because our yard borders the forest and is unfenced, I never allow guest dogs off-leash outdoors. Safety Measures: Supervised Yard Time: All guest dogs are supervised 100% of the time they are outside, using either a standard leash or a 30ft long-line for extra 'sniffing' freedom. Indoor Comfort: After our adventures, dogs relax with us in our family living room. I have plenty of space to keep dogs separated if needed (especially during meal times). Chicken Safety: We do have a chicken coop on the property. Guest dogs are kept at a safe distance from the coop unless I am 100% confident in their behavior around poultry. Pick-Up & Drop-Off: I offer a convenient pick-up and drop-off service for your pets! Whether you need a hand with transport for boarding or a ride to their walk, I’m happy to accommodate. (Please note: Pick-up/drop-off is subject to a small additional fee based on distance—just ask!)
“Shelby was amazing and very attentive to Bandit's special needs. I was kept informed and enjoyed many of the candid photos. Would not hesitate to recommend and will be booking again!”
About: I’ve owned dogs for the last 10 years - a shih tzu and mini aussie. I have experience with all breeds, personalities, and sizes from volunteering at an animal shelter. I prioritize customer comfortability and will work with the client to ensure they are comfortable throughout the process. I am currently a part time teacher with summers off so your dog will have my full attention when they are with me for the day! Available weekdays and select weekends. I have a fenced yard and we are close to many parks and trails. Inside my home is completely furnished and "pet proof." I even have a play pen if preffered. We have a dog park nearby and will only visit if the customer is comfortable with us going there. Regular potty breaks and feeding will take place.
“Aleena was great with my dog Monty. He struggles with anxiety which can make him more challenging at times. Aleena took her time getting to know Monty and she was very kind and gentle with him, which is exactly what he needs. We will definitely send our pooch to stay with Aleena again.”
About: I’m attentive and always make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable in my care. I can also help with basic training if needed. My playful and friendly dog keeps visiting pups entertained, so there’s never a dull moment. I also create a calm environment with quiet time and relaxing water sounds to help dogs rest and feel at home. I have a hybrid work schedule, and my partner works fully remotely, so your pet will always have someone around and get the attention it needs while you’re away. I provide supervision, playtime, walks, and a calm environment for rest. Whether your pup wants energetic play or quiet downtime, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Whether in our home or at your home, we treat every pet like part of the family. In our home, we provide supervision, playtime, walks, and a calm space for rest, making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable. We accept a maximum of two dogs at a time to ensure each pet gets plenty of attention and care. At your home, we follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their needs, whether they’re playful, energetic, or prefer quiet downtime, so every dog feels happy and loved.
Guelph pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with this couple watching our dog, Marley. They were kind, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well looked after. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Marley seemed happy and well cared for when we returned. We would definitely use them again and appreciate the care they gave him.😊
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. 🐾
Meatball had a great time again! We really love how easy going and willing he is to take meatball. We often get told he’s a lot of work. John always takes him with either a weeks notice or a days notice. He handles him so well and always says what a breeze meatball is. He is also good at working with him with meatball being aggressive to other animals, he keeps a close eye out for other animals when he takes him for his walks. We really do truly appreciate John!
Thank you Stephanie for taking such good care of Timmie despite all his whining! Loved that you kept me informed and sent pictures. It was such a relief knowing he was well cared for that I could enjoy my day without worry! I will be booking again when I have to be away for the day!
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!
Larkyn was wonderful with our sweet Hazel. The regular check-ins with photos and videos were very reassuring, we could see that she was having the time of her life. Hazel is a very excitable and friendly Golden retriever, and Larkyn was obviously well equipped to manage her occasionally hyper nature with ease. Thank you again, Larkyn! I know Hazel is looking forward to spending more time with you in the future!
