“Thankyou both very much for looking after our dog. We booked Coupar into your home at a very short notice. Both of you are very welcoming to total strangers and a dog who barks a lot ! Your fenced off garden was also perfect for our dog who loves your trees too.”
“Brigit and Robert were absolutely fabulous!! We highly recommend them to anyone who wants their fur family member very well taken care of. Lucy, our husky mix rescue, definitely loved her stay with them. We knew she was in great hands and having an awesome time too because of the updates with photos that they sent us during Lucy's stay. We will for sure book Brigit and Robert again. Thank you so much!!!”
“Benny had an amazing time with Ricci and came back happy and sleepy! It was our first time trusting anyone other than family with him and we’d be happy to do it again. Thank you!”
“Sadie is an exceptional sitter! From the very first meeting, it was clear that Sadie have a natural connection with animals and a genuine passion for what she’s doing! Beck is a dog where he needs more attention from people due to his prior traumas, in which many sitter cannot accommodate. Sadie, through the short session, demonstrated high-levels of patients towards Beck, and thereby quickly establishing a connection with him. In addition, she provides constant feedbacks and updates to dog owners, and quick response to any questions raised. I would strongly recommend Sadie! She is really good at what she’s doing.”
“Indy was well looked after at Kristiina’s home. She was in very good spirits when I picked her up. Kristiina adapted (enjoyed!) to her little quirks easing any stress that Indy might have had with her first stay. I will not hesitate to leave Indy in her care in the future.”
About: I’ve had plenty of experience caring for dogs since I got my own when I was 8. I have been around dogs of all different breeds, ages, and sizes, and I love them all! I have always been the go to dog sitter for friends and family because I am reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Every dog has its own needs and routine so I will always make sure they are loved, cared for, and come home happy! I am currently in my 3rd year at Queen’s studying Health. I am available all day Thursday-Sunday. I have limited weekly commitments outside of classes so I should be very flexible with timing. I live in a central area in Kingston with nearby parks and lots of walkable streets. My home also has plenty of room for a dog and it has an outdoor area!
“Great place for your doggo to stay! Heather and her family were welcoming, took very good care of my dog, and made sure to keep us updated throughout the stay. They took Chase (my doggo) out for walks, he got to socialize with their dog and their kids, and Chase had a big smile upon my return and you could tell he had a good time. If you ever need a place you can leave your doggo without worry, this is it. Thank you Heather. Couldn't ask for better.”
“We’ve trusted Pamesha and her husband to care for our dog several times now, and they’ve been absolutely wonderful every time. They’re reliable, kind, and clearly love animals. Our pup is always happy and well cared for—we couldn’t ask for better sitters!”
“Nicole took our dog for a couple of walks each day and was able to play with both her kids and pets. Nicole also gave us an update on our pet's stay along with a photo.”
“Charlee and Max stayed with Arshpreet and her family for 2 days, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We received regular updates throughout their stay, including photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were in good, trustworthy care. Highly recommend & will certainly book again.”
“This was my first experience with Rover. I was nervous about leaving my girl Minnie overnight for the first time. Lisa put my mind at ease quickly, and Minnie was so well cared for. I got frequent updates and photos and she looked very happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Lisa—an attentive caregiver and kind person as well! Will definitely use her again!”
“Wow Wow Wow! This service far exceeded my expectations!! From the moment Tug & I met Josephine we were at ease. Josephine's kind & calm approach had us knowing she was the right fit for Tug. I truly valued the ongoing dialogue pre & post care and the booked afternoon allowed me the opportunity to know Tug was in perfect care in the perfect setting with the perfect sitter. Thank you Josephine & Thank you Rover..we will definitely use this service in the future and will highly recommend to friends & family!”
“Deb and Marron took great care of our dog, Cooper, while we took a mini-vacation. Cooper is an older Golden so he has his routines and we were concerned about introducing something new to him. Deb and Marron went out of there way to make Cooper comfortable and enjoy his stay. We got regular updates which allowed us to relax and not worry. We would not hesitate to recommend Deb and Marron and look forward to having them look after Cooper on our next trip.”
“Kelsey is easygoing, reliable, and genuinely cares about pets. My dog seemed to have a great time, and I appreciated the regular updates and photos. I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend K as a dog sitter.”
“Leah, James and their fur baby Wally were great hosts! I received photos during Porters stay and he looked relaxed and happy! Thank you again for extending your home (and sharing your bed!) with my boy! 💙”
About: Hey there! I’m Deanna — animal lover, treat‑giver, walk‑enthusiast, and certified “yes I talk to pets like they’re tiny hairy humans” person. 😄 I’ve had animals my whole life and have looked after pets with all sorts of medical needs. Giving meds? No problem. Special routines? I’m on it. Noticing when your pet is acting a little off? It’s basically my superpower. I’ve raised two puppies from 9 weeks old, so I know all about zoomies, chaos, snuggles, and the “why are you chewing that??” moments. I also adore senior pets — slow walks, soft voices, and gentle care are my jam. I’m pretty active, so if your dog wants adventures, I’m ready. If they prefer couch hangs and snacks… honestly, same. I work part‑time, which means I’ve got flexible availability on weekdays + weekends. I’m also open to overnight stays and weekend pet‑sitting if you need a little getaway. At home I’ve got two cats who are very chill with dogs as long as the dogs aren’t plotting to chase them. For everyone’s safety, I do ask that visiting pets are up to date on flea and tick prevention — gotta keep my furry roommates itch‑free. Your pet will be loved, spoiled, and treated like family. Can’t wait to meet your furry sidekick! 🐶🐱💛 I am currently working part time and have open hours to support your pet(s) weekdays and weekends. I am open to over night stays and weekend work. I have 2 cats who are okay with dogs as long as they don't have a prey drive and chase. I would require the pets coming in to have updated flea and tick to protect my babies.

Anna and Alexei gave excellent care to my dog. They are great communicators with plenty of photos and daily reports. I am especially grateful that, when my flight home was cancelled and I needed an extra day of dog sitting, they were able to keep my dog for that additional time. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Sadie was amazing! Extremely responsive to inquiries, and accommodating when making arrangements to meet, drop off and pick up. She gave excellent care to our beautiful girl, and sent lots of updates with pictures. Sadie (our lab) was grinning ear to ear in each picture. We were completely at ease leaving our girl with Sadie and have no hesitation in giving Sadie a 5⭐️ review! Thanks again Sadie!!
Dan was absolutely wonderful with Frodo. I’m almost reluctant to leave such a good review because I’d quite like to keep him a secret! He was incredibly caring, reliable, and attentive, and I felt completely at ease knowing Frodo was in such good hands. He took the time to understand Frodo’s routine and all his little quirks, kept me updated, and made sure he was happy and comfortable. Frodo came home relaxed and happy, which says it all. I would trust Dan with him again without hesitation. An absolute gem of a sitter (although I may regret letting everyone else know). 😄
Melissa and her lovely family took great care of our Irish wolfhound Henry, not in the least phased by his 165-lb frame. Because he tends to be anxious if left alone in a new place, she even slept downstairs on his first night there. Her sweet dog Tulip also helped him feel more at ease. Henry soon relaxed, chilling in their dog bed (and cat bed--at the same time!) and snuggling on the couch. We look forward to leaving him with Melissa again.
This was my first experience with Rover. I was nervous about leaving my girl Minnie overnight for the first time. Lisa put my mind at ease quickly, and Minnie was so well cared for. I got frequent updates and photos and she looked very happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Lisa—an attentive caregiver and kind person as well! Will definitely use her again!
Krista and Jacob took very good care of Penny for the two weeks I was away. They kept me informed every few days with photos, videos and updates on how Penny was doing. I fully appreciated their commitment to keeping me informed. I would highly recommend them to others.
Thanks so much for providing Seamus with such a friendly, safe 'home away from home' environment. We appreciated the time you took asking questions to better understand his personality traits and schedule, and the photos you provided of his activities. He enjoyed his many walks and looks forward to visiting again!
Kate was great!! We agreed to a meet and greet so Kate could meet Tucker before we made any final decisions on boarding ( so luck would have it, in the rain 😀 ) Drop off was quick and easy, and within a short period of time we were receiving pictures and updates of how things were going. Kate was very communicative and was constantly giving us updates on how Tucker was doing. This definitely put my mind at ease as this was the first time in 7 years that we needed to leave our fur baby with someone other than immediate family. Tucker got to enjoy lots of long walks, play time and of course lots of snuggles. We would be more than happy to hire Kate again to watch Tucker ❤️
We left our dog with Owen for the weekend and they seemed to really enjoy the time theh had with our dog. He was very attentive to her needs and took real good care of her. Blue heelers have a lot of energy, but Owen seemed to match her. If ever we're passing through Kingston again we would feel good leaving her with Owen.
Peter has been very easy to work with and conscientious about updating me on our dogs activities including photos every day. Our Dexter loved being with him and his Golden retriever Sia who he played with. It was like sending Dexter to camp. Would not hesitate to recommend Peter.
Caitlin is a natural with animals and really cares. She was wonderful for me and my dog Harry. Used her for overnight boarding but I was really nervous as Harry was going to an unknown sitter. We had a great meet and Harry had a great time. He is fast asleep now after a busy 24hrs of walking, playing fetch in the back garden, dog Park visits and a waterfront walk today! I will be using her again. Great communication, always answering my random Harry questions and always sending reassuring pictures of his activities. Thank you so much. Of note I was concerned about her living in an apartment but, there was no need she has a long garden with direct access from her door - First time Rover user in Canada from a Verified dog mum.
