Linda was absolutely amazing. She is very sweet and has such good, calming energy, my dog took to her right away. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It truly felt like she loved my dog as if he were her own. Such a kind & caring person, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend.

"We recently had the pleasure of having Mark looked after our beloved dog for a week. Their genuine love for animals and professionalism exceeded our expectations. Our dog immediately felt at ease in their care, and we received regular updates and photos showing the fun adventures they shared together. We returned home to a happy and well-cared-for pup, and couldn't have asked for a better experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive dog sitter."

Thank you for taking such good care of our Winnie! You went above and beyond taking our pup on hikes every day and sending daily photos. This was our first time having to leave her, and you put us at ease with the way you took such good care of our girl!

Christy was amazing as per usual. While away on an extended trip we received ongoing photos and updates on how Rocky was doing. She even made our return home so much easier by dropping rocky off at our house so once we were home we could relax and spend time with him without traveling all over. She truly makes Rocky feel apart of their family and it's so nice knowing he has a great second home when we go away

May and Family are truly exceptional. When my flight was canceled due to the Air Canada strike, I was suddenly stuck and scrambling—but May stepped in like a guardian angel. One of my dogs had just come out of surgery a couple weeks earlier and was on a complicated medication schedule, and she handled it all with absolute care and precision. Not only did she make sure both my dogs were safe, comfortable, and well cared for, but she also sent me daily pictures that brought so much peace of mind. Seeing their happy faces while I was stranded was everything. Her hopeful attitude and calm presence turned a stressful situation into something manageable—and even heartwarming. May doesn’t just walk dogs—she shows up for them (and their humans) in every way that matters. I’m endlessly grateful and couldn’t recommend her more.

Fabulous care! I have 2 friendly but energetic dogs, and had never left them with anyone for longer than a day, but needed to go to California for 10 days to support a friend whose husband had passed away. I was nervous about leaving them, but Lina's friendly and professional attitude made me feel confident that the dogs were in good care. She gave me updates, asked questions if needed, and followed my advice (to get one of my dogs to go downstairs). Extremely happy with the care the dogs received, and I highly recommend her as a loving and knowledgeable dogsitter. Thanks, Lina!

About: Hi! I’m a big animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had a rescued Beagle named Murphy for three years, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and sticking to each pet’s routine. Murphy had a weed allergy, occasional ear infections, and underwent knee surgery that required months of recovery, so I’m familiar with managing special needs, medication routines, and post-surgery care. I’ve also cared for dogs and cats for friends for many years, helping with everything from meals and litter boxes to cuddles, companionship, and maintaining routines while owners are away. I believe in a calm, structured approach to pet care—making sure dogs get proper exercise and routine first, followed by affection once they’re relaxed and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own and always focus on helping them feel safe, balanced, and loved. My home is a welcoming and loving environment for boarding dogs, complete with a friendly furry companion and a fenced backyard with plenty of room to play and run. Pets staying with me are treated like family and are welcome to relax on the bed or sofa, enjoying lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I take hygiene seriously—my home is smoke-free and scent-free, with high-quality air filtration to maintain a clean and comfortable space. Dogs receive 3 to 5 daily walks, adjusted to their needs, along with daily brushing, cleaning after walks, and baths if required. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding instructions and can accommodate special dietary needs to ensure your pet stays healthy and happy during their stay. I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to reach out anytime! I’m always happy to answer questions or set up a meet-and-greet. My wife and I are working from allowing us to care for your furry baby. Pet care is a central part of our daily routine. My wife and I plan our schedule around the pets in our care to ensure they receive consistent walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. We’re home most of the time, which allows us to provide regular supervision, maintain routines, and respond quickly to each pet’s needs. Daily walks, outdoor time, and quiet rest periods are spaced out to keep pets balanced, comfortable, and relaxed. Safety and comfort are our top priorities. My wife and I provide a calm, structured environment where pets feel secure, whether in our home or yours. For boarding at our home, we have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space inside to relax. We supervise all pets closely, separate them when needed, and follow each owner’s specific instructions for feeding, medication, or special needs. We maintain a clean, smoke- and scent-free home with high-quality air filtration, and we handle walks, playtime, and rest periods in a way that keeps pets balanced and happy. Trust is important to us, so we communicate regularly with owners, providing updates and photos to make sure you know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for.

What can I say other than a fabulous care giver. Her two dogs bonded with my French bulldog and shipoo. They followed her around, they slept in her bed with her doggies. I have photos of them playing with my doggies. All four dogs had personalities that one matched one doggie of hers and same with the other. My dogs showed happiness to see me on pick up but my shipoo ran to me and back to Kelley. I saw them playing with their own toys I brought. Really the transition was not far off by how I take care of them. It was a pairing made in heaven. My doggies were on vacation too! Kelley deeply cared for my dogs welfare. So from one nurse (me), to another retired nurse, Kelley, you win the award of the year for best care. I bough to you. Bravo. Hope to see you again. Xoxo

Manvi and her family took wonderful care of Tamarind. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in a loving, welcoming and dog loving home. Everyone showed him so much affection and attention, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I requested morning and evening updates, and Manvi was great at keeping me informed with regular photos, videos, and messages about how he was doing. When I picked him up he was happy, relaxed, and did not want to leave! He ate well during his stay, looked healthy, and showed no signs of stress or anxiety. He’s now fast asleep at home, which tells me he had a wonderful time and plenty of fun. I highly recommend Manvi to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Manvi and family for taking such great care of Tamarind!

Jeremy and Rachael were very accommodating and communicative, always responding to messages quickly and moving schedules around to accommodate. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with them and she seemed to have a great time! They made sure she got lots of time to run around and play outside and sent updates regularly. I would definitely recommend them!

Marisa took care of Cooper , 3 year old lab four nights while we were away. She has been very accommodating right from the beginning and has taken really good care of Cooper! And sent us regular pics and told how he was doing. Cooper chewed his leash one day and she was kind enough to get a new one for him. We really appreciate her support and will definitely trust her with Cooper again !

This was my first-time using Rover and I am so incredibly pleased with the service and quality of care Jacky & Rocio provided Ori. They are thoughtful, professional and flexible. It was an overnight stay and it exceeded my expectations. Ori is a puppy and can be nervous in new environments. Jacky & Rocio were able to get her settled in quickly and sent updates with lovely photos throughout the day and evening to keep me updated. I felt reassured that Ori was in great care. They treated her like she was their own dog. What more can a pet owner ask for. And their sweet Abby got along so well with Ori. I will definitely be using Jacky & Rocio again. Thank you!

Alfonso was great with Stanley. This was his second time looking after Stanley who is a handful at times. He was great with communication, and pictures. He also advised he was eating his food great as we had to get a different one to due stock issues so we knew he was eating normal. He was great in communicating at the end of the stay how it went, and advised Stanley had a few instances where he was over protective with his toys, so we was aware ourselves. Stanley is looking forward to his next stay.

Shadi did an amazing job caring for our senior chihuahua mix. Our dog is on two medications a day and can be a bit finicky and slow to warm up to new people. She warmed up to Shadi within a couple days and clearly trusted her. Shadi provided regular updates with photos and asked us questions if anything came up. We would 100% book her again!

She was genuinely excited to host Stella and went out of her way to make sure she had a great visit - homemade treats, walks, comfy bed and she kept me updated throughout the sit with lots of photos of a very happy dog :) Will definitely be giving Linda a call next time we need a sitter.

Rocky couldn't have been in better hands! It was Rocky's first stay with Whitney, and they became friends almost instantly - a sure sign she has a natural way with dogs. She walked him every day, had fun at the park, and kept us updated throughout so we always knew how he was doing. That peace of mind meant everything. It's clear Whitney genuinely loves the animals in her care. Rocky came home happy, and we couldn't recommend her more to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter for their fur family!

Where do we even begin — there are not enough words to express how thankful we are to Lisa. We booked boarding with her for our wedding, and she once again took amazing care of both Russ and Bandit. She even went above and beyond by bringing them to our reception venue for photos and then safely back home. Russ can sometimes have separation anxiety and, being blind, can be a bit more reactive — but Lisa handled him with so much patience, understanding, and compassion. She never held anything against him and continued to treat him with genuine love and kindness, which meant the world to us. We are so incredibly grateful for Lisa and the care she gives our fur babies. We’re also sorry for the delay in leaving this review — post-wedding life has been a bit of a whirlwind! Anyone who has Lisa as their sitter is truly lucky, and without a doubt, we would choose her again every single time. Thank you so much for everything, Lisa ❤️
