“Ben was the BEST. This was the first time I’ve left my dog with anyone other than family and Ben made me feel so much better about it. We got regular updates and pictures and my dog seemed so happy to be there! Will definitely recommend Ben and will use him again next time I travel! Thanks Ben!”
“This was my dog Ozzys first time staying with Spencer and Amelia. They were so amazing I’m already booking him in with them during our next trip. Ozzy had such an amazing time and they kept me up dated with pictures and texts the entire time. Ozzy was treated like family and I would recommend them to anyone.”
“Zenobia was the perfect dog carer . She kept our Winnie safe and sound and too many pictures. We cannot say enough good about Zenobia and her husband they are truly dog lovers. Zenobia is a lovely lady and we will be back!!!”
“Milissa and family are wonderful caregivers. She sent me pictures and updates everyday of when we were away so I was never worried about Ollie. We really appreciate the great care they give:)!”
“Ginny had a great time with Margaret! She took care of her in a way that matched her specific needs and we received regular updates. We would definitely book with Margaret in the future 😊”
“Words truly can’t describe how amazing Carina and Damian are! From the moment I met with them, I felt completely at ease. Their updates were not only detailed but so heartwarming—it was clear they genuinely cared for him as if he were their own. They even picked up on all his quirky personality traits, we laughed every time we read them. The photos they sent always brought a smile to my face and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He had his own little glamour shoot every day! Harley stayed with them for 10 days, and I could tell he was happy, well-loved, and in such good hands. I honestly can’t recommend Carina and Damian enough—they are absolute gems!”
“Ash and Abhi were great dog-sitters. They were very responsive and sent updates with pictures of our two fur babies. It was a great first time Rover experience and we will surely book again with them.”
“Sarah and her family were so wonderful! They gave Penny lots of love and cuddles and sent a ton of photos while we were away. Definitely recommend!!”
“Christopher was great with Fabian! We will be back”
“Vanessa and her family took loving care of our boy. He was well looked after. Vanessa was very easy to communicate with and was accommodating when our pick up time was modified. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“We are a family who travels a lot, and we don’t have much help for family when it comes to our animals and one of our dogs is standoffish at first, meaning no boarding facility feels comfortable with taking her- we always had a friend who helped prior to her moving. After thinking we couldn’t travel anymore, we found Victoria. We scheduled a meet and greet the day after I requested a booking, and I immediately felt at ease. My two big girls stayed with her for a week, and during that week, I wasn’t able to get on the app so my friend had logged in and asked Victoria to message me on Instagram- which she did. Multiple times a day she gave me updates with pictures, and after my dogs, wet food ran out she had no problem allowing them to eat some of the food in her fridge (to which I tipped her at the end for the food used). I was a bit nervous on how one of my dogs would take on to her, but by the end she was so happy and Victoria was genuinely upset to see them go. Not only was Victoria an amazing dog sitter, but she also made me feel as if I have gained a new friend in my life. I will rebook her again and again, even on some days I feel like the girls could use all the attention on them. 10/10 service. Thank you, Victoria and we will see you again soon!”
“Amelia had a great stay with Miriam! She followed the instructions that I left, and sent me updates of how Amelia was doing. We would definitely choose Miriam again!”
“Carolina was wonderful with Fabian! She sent lots of pictures to keep me updated. Her dog also had wonderful manners which put Fabian at ease right away. Would definitely recommend”
“Marisa took care of my sassy French Bulldog Beatrice for a weekend. Beatrice LOVED her time with Marisa. She kept me updated frequently on how Beatrice was doing sending me pictures of her daily adventures. I would definitely have Marisa care for Beatrice again!”
“Tracy was amazing with Ollie. She took him in as part of her family and I didn’t worry once - amazing communication and Ollie was such a happy boy when I picked him up! Bella is so sweet and I’m sure Ollie is looking forward to his next stay!”
“Claire took great care of our dog and sent lots of photos and updates to keep us posted on how she was settling in over the week she sitted her. She was very accommodating despite us booking on short notice and was able to adjust her schedule to meet our dog’s needs. Our dog was clearly very happy to stay with her and we would definitely book again!”
“Sonya and her family took great care of my dog Stevie over 4 days, and provided lots of updates! Stevie looked right at home and was so sad and protesting when she had to leave!! I would recommend her services to all!”
“Very kind and esponsible. Emily asked the right questions to keep our dog happy and safe. Emily sent multiple pics to keep is up to date. I'd definatley use her again.”
“Kara was amazing! I was concerned about leaving Maggie with someone she didn’t know, but Kara’s relaxed demeanour was great with both Maggie and me! I will gladly leave Maggie with with Kara again.”
About: With 25 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals. I’m a veteran, and my love for animals started early—I’ve worked with horses and other farm animals since I was 9. Over the years, we’ve also fostered many dogs (including four puppies at once!) before settling down to focus on parenting. Both my fiancé and I have a deep love for animals, with dreams of one day owning land to care for rescued animals. I also have a habit of finding injured wildlife on the side of the road and chauffeuring them to Hope for Wildlife—so you could say I have a soft spot for all creatures in need! If you’re looking for a caring, responsible, and experienced sitter to keep your pup safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, I’d love to help! I’m home most days, aside from appointments and errands, and we live just one minute from a vet—so your pup will always be in safe hands! Our home is in a quiet cul-de-sac with a fenced-in yard, just a five-minute walk from a fenced dog park. I share my home with my fiancé, our respectful 1.5-year-old child, three cats, and two friendly dogs. Because of our resident pets (and toddler), we can’t accommodate dogs with temperament issues, but we’re happy to welcome friendly, well-socialized pups!
