“We had a great experience with Ella looking after our dog. She sent regular updates throughout the day, which was really reassuring, and it was clear Ella was kind and loving. Our dog seemed happy and well cared for, and it looked like he had a great day. We’d definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Ella again!”

About: I grew up with a small family dog as a young child in our family home, and took the leap into adulthood and dog ownership on my own! Porter is a 5.5 year old male neutered bernedoodle. He's super spoiled and rules the house :-) He loves having a playmate around so we thought we'd check out the Rover scene! We have experience looking after our neighbours dogs (Golden retrievers and a yellow lab). I have used Rover as a pet parent for help during vacations, etc. I know how hard it is to find someone trustworthy that will follow instructions. We go on 4 walks a day - sometimes more with yard play thrown in. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to allow all the dog care! I'm familiar with medicating dogs, including allergy injections so I can assist with care like that if required. I'm guilty of taking so many pictures of my dog, especially when he has friends visit so please be comforted knowing you will get lots of updates! We live on a lake so if your dog loves to swim and loves pontoon boat rides, they will have one heck of a vacation :-) If you have multi dog family - I'm happy to host them all! Please - no cats. I currently work from home and have lots of time with my flexible schedule to accommodate walks, playtime, enrichment, etc. Porter can adjust to anyone else's schedule to make it easier, or we can do solo walks if that would be your preference. I do not have a fenced yard, but we go on leashed walked at least 4x a day - plus more playtime. Porter is allowed on furniture, so your dog is as well! There are no separate rooms for dogs in my house. He used to be crate trained and so i am familiar with it and can crate your dog if you require it.
“Laura was great! She communicated throughout the whole process and sent tons of photos which was much appreciated. Plenty of engaging activities, exercise and playtime were provided throughout the weekend. It is clear that Laura genuinely cares and is knowledgeable about dogs. Looking forward to taking my pup back to stay with Laura and Daisy soon!”

“I highly recommend Deanna and Scott to take care of your fur baby(s). The treat your fur baby as one of their own, the communication is on point with updated photos daily. I will be rebooking with Deanna and Scott Thank you ☺️”

“Carli was absolutely amazing! Last minute our dog had allergies and required additional care with medication and she was so accommodating and understanding. Loved getting pictures and any necessary updates. Would absolutely book with Carli again!”

About: My partner and I have had lots of past experience with taking care of dogs! We have both had labrador retrievers, shepherds, Alaskan Malamute, border collies etc. We currently have a seven month old labrador/husky that we rescued when she was 9 weeks old. She is currently training to be a service dog but still has some puppy brain and enjoys playing with other dogs!! We have trained her in many domains and she currently knows: sit, stay, down, back up, waiting at doors, paw, high five, spin, around, crate, support, hug, off, leave it, and are working on much more. We would be happy to help train your puppy/dog if you are currently working on anything! My partner and I currently work full time and our pup usually stays in her crate for 7 hours. However, we are free most weekends are able to care for your puppy’s. Our schedule during the week would be potty breaks every 4-8 hours while on the weekends it would be every 0-2 hours. During the work week we are happy to walk your dogs after 5pm :) We have a partially fenced yard and our dog goes on a long tie to ensure she stays safe! She is crate and house trained and usually stays in her crate throughout our work days to ensure she is safe as she still likes to chew on wires! Our puppy and your dogs safety is our number 1 priority :)
“Karli was very accommodating to Miss Sallie. Her warm welcoming dog friendly home and fenced yard allowed us to be stress free leaving are fur family there. She will top of my list next time we require overnight care for Sallie 💕😊”

“We were very relaxed (out of country) knowing our babies were with Christine, very kind lady. My fur babies also enjoyed being with her 2 fur babies, good play dates. They were content in the regular pictures she sent us. I would certainly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 3-4 years now, mostly dealt with small dogs but am open to watching and caring for any bigger ones as well! Just finished my second year as a UOttawa student, I am currently home for the entire summer up until my third year at UOttawa. I am free almost all day and love to go for walks myself, so walking with a dog would fit into my schedule perfectly! I live in a house with my family members (5 total). My room is close to the basement backyard door where we have quite a bit of outdoor space. I live close to two parks and a hiking trail (all within walking distance of my home). And know my neighborhood very well as I frequent walks daily myself.

About: I will take care of your pet as if it's mine, and I'm doing it just because i love then but can't have mine at this time. I have had my own cats and dog and I know them well. Thank you for trusting me, i will do my best to make you and your pet happy. I am a graduate student and my schedule is completely flexible during the summer. I just need to know 1 day in advance so i can plan my day. I am living in a relatively big apartment with an unfenced yard. Pets allowed everywhere and on bed. I don't have other pets, and I will be here until October.
“Alana was absolutely amazing! She was able to take my dog on short notice and took great care of him! She sent me lots of updates and photos throughout his stay with her and she really exceeded expectations in caring for my giant ball of energy doggo.”

“Deb and Marron were incredible hosts. When our holiday dog sitting arrangements fell through, we happened upon their Rover profile and fortunately, they were available. They adjusted their plans to accommodate our departure time and kindly offered a meet and greet before we left for our trip. We received regular updates and beautiful photos of their walks and extended hikes with Bailey. It was clear that it we were not the only ones on “vacation”, as Bailey was having the time of her life! The care that Bailey received while with Deb and Marron was exceptional and we feel so lucky to have found them!”

“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave my dog while we were away for the hockey tournament. You were very accommodating (especially short notice) and went above and beyond to make sure Aurora felt comfortable (pictures speak for themselves). The many pictures you shared gave our family peace of mind, so thank you! We couldn't have asked for better caregivers! See you soon for the next tournament :)”

Kingston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Stephen, Holly, and their family were wonderful hosts for our puppy, Cedar! This was Cedar’s first overnight stay away from us, and we came home to a happy, healthy, and tired pup. We really appreciated the photo updates, prompt communication, reliability, and their willingness to care for a high energy 6.5 month old puppy. It gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again in the future!

We couldn't be any happier with Terra's stay with Brigit and Rob. We knew she was in good hands which made our trip that much better. Terra is an older dog with some issues that make it difficult leaving her with others. Definitely not with them and we will definitely look at leaving Terra with them again.

A big thank you to Krista and Jacob for looking after our Roxie for a month. They treated Roxie like she was their own dog. We got regular updates with video and pictures. Roxie had a bit of a health issue during her stay with them. But Krista and Jacob looked after her like we would monitoring her and making her special food. I don't think we can thank them enough for that. We would definitely recommend them with no hesitation.

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 ❤️

Anna was very kind! we needed a last minute booking and she was happy to accommodate. She sent detailed updates with pictures, and confidently administered meds. If we vacation in kingston again then we will %100 be reaching out again. We felt very safe leaving our Pomeranian in her care, 10 out of 10 recommended!

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.

Thomas did an great job with our cat Rosie. I really felt like she was loved while there. The house itself was also spacious so she had lots of space to roam. Rosie has medical issues and so needs meds at very specific times of day and Thomas made sure to let us know that she got them. I would definitely have him cat-sit for is again 😊

We had the most incredible experience with Catharine. Our family had booked a vacation months ago and arranged dog boarding back in January for our pup, Clover. Just a few days before we were supposed to fly out of the country, our original boarder suddenly cancelled due to an unexpected personal situation. With our luggage packed and our departure coming up fast, we were in full panic mode trying to figure out who could take care of him last-minute (for 11 nights!). We started messaging every boarder in Kingston, and everyone was either booked, unavailable, or didn’t respond. Catharine was the only person who got back to us with a 'yes' right away. We had never met her before, so we were understandably anxious. She offered to meet us the very next day, just a few hours before she was scheduled to catch a train to Toronto. From the moment we met her, she was warm, friendly, and instantly put us at ease. While we were away with the kids, she sent us daily photos, videos, and updates. Those updates meant the world to us. Clover bonded with her so quickly, and it was clear he was having a wonderful time. She even went out of her way to give him fruit and veggie treats like strawberries and cucumbers, took him on lots of walks, let him sunbathe outside, practiced the tricks our kids taught him, and gave him all the cuddles he could ever want. Catharine turned one of the most stressful moments of our dog‑ownership lives into something genuinely positive. Clover was loved, cared for, and happy the entire time. We are so grateful for her kindness and the way she stepped in when we needed help the most. We would give her 6 stars if we could! Thank you, Catharine!

We had a great experience with Ella looking after our dog. She sent regular updates throughout the day, which was really reassuring, and it was clear Ella was kind and loving. Our dog seemed happy and well cared for, and it looked like he had a great day. We’d definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Ella again!

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.

Dhanesha and her partner were great hosts. She sent me constant updates and she didn't hesitate to take our dog who is 150lbs. He almost didn't want to come back :) They have also looked after my parents senior GR and he still looks out the window for her to come along!
