“Here's a review based on your experience: I recently had the pleasure of boarding my Boxer-Poodle with Yoskan, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I reached out on short notice, only about two hours before I needed care, and Yoskan was incredibly accommodating. She kept my dog for a few extra hours, which was a huge help. Throughout the process, Yoskan was very prompt in responding to my messages, providing updates that reassured me my dog was in good hands. It's clear she has a wealth of experience and expertise with dogs, as my pup seemed happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Yoskan for anyone in need of reliable and caring dog boarding services!”
“Dana and his partner are kind, understanding people who obviously love dogs! We met with them and our very finicky Lola warmed up to them right away. We booked for an upcoming trip but we had to be away for a night unexpectedly just recently and they were so quick to respond and agreed to take Lola. Thank you so much. You will never worry about how your dog is being treated or how much attention they are getting. We will definitely book with Dana again!”
“Chloe was absolutely wonderful with Molly! She sent lots of picture updates and it was great to see Molly so happy and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Chloe and will definitely be booking again next time I need a sitter for Molly :)”

“Laura and family were amazing with Finn! Lots of updates throughout the weekend which was appreciated. Finn can be a bit naughty to say the least - Laura was patient and kind and Finn had a blast! Will definitely ask Laura to watch Finn again.”
“Amazing and very kind and caring lady! She has looked after our dear dog several times! We are so happy to have found her! Very professional, keep us updated every single day with texts, photos and videos of our dog, and took our dog for several daily walks. She also cared for our dog by giving her meds and food exactly the way we needed it her to have them. Overall I will totally recommend Carmen! And we hope to continue having her look after dog in the future! Thank you so much Carmen!”

“Yaxnitza kindly accepted a last-minute request to take care of our dog for the long weekend. She was a great communicator, friendly, sent pictures and videos each day, and made sure to follow our routines and care schedule. Our dog was happy being dropped off and picked up and we felt confident with the care she was given. A big back yard to run and play in was also a plus! Overall a great experience - thank you!!”
“I could tell that Coco had a great time here! I got regular photo updates, and I could tell that he was quite relaxed and happy there. He'll definitely be back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Michelle was a wonderful sitter for Elphie. Over the weekend, I received numerous updates and photos about Elphies stay. Michelle made me feel completely comfortable and her kiddos gave Elphie so much love. Would highly recommend!”
“Ella was wonderful with my dog Romeo. She was easy to communicate with for planning and for sharing updates, and Ella took great care of Romeo. She made sure he had time to play, nice long walks and plenty of attention when he was staying with her. She clearly has a strong connection with doggies & I felt very good about leaving my puppy with her!”
“Qi was a lovely person and took good care of our dog. She is nice and gives prompt and frequent update , with pictures . We booked Qi when we needed emergency pet care and wi was very flexible. Thank you Qi .”
“Priyanka and her family were wonderful to work with. We recently booked our dog Ted in for a weeks family vacation, and will absolutely be booking again. We did a meeting prior to our booking to ensure fitment, and were warmly welcomed at their home. It was clean, and felt very warm. Once we agreed to move forward, everything went well and as agreed upon. Drop-off was easy, we were not rushed, and Ted was given immediate access to explore the home. We were given morning and evening updates, including many pictures and videos so we felt comfortable in knowing how he was adjusting. Ted was excited to see us at pick-up, but we could tell he missed the family and his new friend Link for a few days prior to leaving. Dont hesitate, I highly recommend Priyanka and her famiky in caring for your furry loved ones.”
“Fantastic experience! Onyx was very well taken care of and loved his long walk at the park. Jayson was professional, super responsive on the app, and easy to coordinate with. We highly recommend him and will definitely book again!”
“I was very nervous about going away without my dog as he has never been away from me before. Ilona put my mind at ease and I went away feeling comfortable that he was in very good hands. The texts and pictures made my day and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. When I went to pick him up I could see that he liked her and that made me so happy. He was clearly in very good hands. I highly recommend Ilona and plan to book with her again in the future. Thank you so much for caring for my sweet Cooper so well”
About: Ever since I was younger, I would always volunteer to walk or dog sit for neighbour's, family and friendly while they were away. This often entailed going on 3 walks a day, feeding and playing. I will always make sure to follow instructions to the miniscule detail. I currently work full time remotely from home. I am easily able to step away from work for any pets that may need immediate attention or if the owner happens to need a sitter with short notice. I am often available for weekends as well. I love to shower my own pets with pats, affection and toys. When I need to be firm I make sure to be stern but never disrespectful. I make sure to continue to be loving even after verbally correcting any misbehavior.

Jenn and Mike were the most excellent hosts for my dog to stay overnight. They really love dogs!! My dog ‘Iseult’ was so pleased to have this happy outing, both for an all day stay and then for two days with an overnight. The house and fenced yard are set up for canine delight. Jenn is so knowledgeable and experienced, I had total confidence 😌🐾🐾 will use their kind hospitality again soon. Alden Hadwen
She was communicative throughout Yohji’s stay and sent lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. She also took him on a hike, and her large backyard was a big plus because he loved running around and playing. I really appreciated the updates and the effort she put into making his stay enjoyable.
Shelley was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! We got frequent updates and pictures and she was very communicative about how they were doing. She was also really flexible and was able to keep the dogs for an extra day when our plans changed, which we were very grateful for. We would absolutely recommend Shelley and have her watch the dogs again!
Alyssa was absolutely amazing with Bruno! 🥹❤️ I was really nervous leaving him because he has pretty bad separation anxiety, but she made me feel so comfortable and kept me updated throughout the night. Bruno settled in so well with her! It was such a relief knowing he was safe, comfortable and being taken care of while I was at work. I would definitely recommend Alyssa to anyone and would absolutely have her watch Bruno again!
Thank you so much Shannon and Dave! To be able to travel and not worry about our Jax and his care is priceless! The photos snd messages showing how happy he was while he was in he stayed with Shannon and Dave was so reassuring!!! Thank you both for taking such good care our little boy!!! Rod & Michelle.
We really appreciated Uchenna’s willingness to keep our dog when he became sick during his stay, especially while we were away for our son’s wedding. She made sure he was cared for and boarded him despite him not feeling well. We’re grateful she was able to look after him during a stressful situation.
Alicia took excellent care of my 18 year old dog! He requires some special care due to his poor eyesight and other age related issues, and Alicia was more than happy to accommodate all of his needs. She also sent updates and pictures during his stay there. I would highly recommend!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .

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.
