“Rani took amazing care of our puppy, I can’t imagine having left our dog with anyone else. It is clear she just loves animals and she is an exceptional care taker. Rani was very accommodating when our flight was delayed for our return and sent great updates through out the week. Thank you so much!”
“Susel took care of our dog on very short notice, and we were so grateful she was able to accommodate us. She sent regular updates throughout his stay, which gave us peace of mind, and she took him on long walks that he absolutely loved. After spending two nights with her, he came back happy, relaxed, and looked like he had a great time. We could tell he was well cared for and enjoyed his stay. Thank you, Susel!”
“Willie was great with my Ollie! He sent plenty of updates and photos & videos which made me very at ease. He had other dogs that got along very well together. Willie has clearly created a great environment for any dogs that spend time with him!”
“We let our 5 month puppy Arlo to Shireen for about 7 days during a trip where we couldn't bring him. It was a first for us to let our fur baby to a pet sitter so we were a lot stressed and anxious. We are so HAPPY that we found Shireen! She has been fantastic with Arlo, sharing updates every day, morning and evening or anytime we needed it. She really took great care of him and we're really grateful for that. It really made our trip easier and peaceful. We definitely recommend Shireen, don't even hesitate ☺️”
“Shaghayegh took great care of our dog Sasha and was accommodating when we changed the date for our trip. She sent me pictures every day with Sasha . Our dog seems to be happy after his stay . I will definitely recommend her to our friends.”
“Thor and I would definitely recommend Corina (and her friendly pup Dex as well!). She did everything to ensure that Thor was comfortable and felt secure, even letting him sleep in her bed! She sent me updates to let me know how he was doing, which was appreciated. We will book with her again! Thank you so much Corina for taking such excellent care of Thor!”
“I am always so pleased when Stéphanie dog sits my boy Riley. She is so accommodating and takes wonderful care of my dog. She sends daily pictures and updates and I always feel completely reassured when I leave my dog with her. I won’t go to anyone else to sit Riley as long as Stephanie is available!! ☺️”
“Melissa was truly incredible with Spencer. From the start, she took meticulous care of his dietary and medication needs.Even when Spencer had a bit of a territorial issue, she was patient and understanding. Spencer also did great with her kids, which says a lot about the comfortable environment she created. She was very attentive to his no-jumping, no-running instructions, ensuring safe, gentle walks due to his new IVDD diagnosis ( we found out about it a week prior to Melissa boarding Spencer). On top of that, she sent daily updates and plenty of pictures, just as we asked especially considering we were a bit stressed due to the new diagnosis and Spence not at his 100% when we left. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, reliable sitter! Thank you so much Melissa!”
About: Garder un animal, ce n’est pas seulement le surveiller mais c’est aussi de comprendre son rythme, son caractère et ses petits rituels. Avec moi, chaque animal est traité comme un individu à part entière. Je prends le temps de m’adapter à son énergie, que ce soit pour de longues promenades actives ou des moments plus calmes et rassurants. Mon objectif est simple c'est qu’il se sente en sécurité, stimulé et aimé, même en l’absence de son humain. Je porte une attention particulière aux détails qui font toute la différence dont respecter ses habitudes, reconnaître ses signaux, et offrir une présence constante et attentive. Ce qui me distingue ? je suis éducatrice spécialisée depuis 25 ans, j'ai une approche à la fois douce et engagée, je ne fais pas que garder des animaux mais je crée un lien et un environnement où ils peuvent vraiment s’épanouir. Confier son animal, c’est confier un membre de sa famille. Je prends cette responsabilité très à cœur et avec bienveillance. Chaque journée est organisée de façon à offrir aux animaux une présence attentive et des moments de qualité, que ce soit pour les promenades, les repas ou les périodes de jeu et de repos. Je planifie mes horaires pour respecter les besoins spécifiques de chaque animal. J’adapte mon organisation pour assurer une constance et une stabilité, ce qui est essentiel pour les animaux. Prendre soin des animaux n’est pas une tâche ponctuelle pour moi, mais une routine bien établie où leur bien-être est toujours une priorité. Chaque animal est accueilli dans un environnement calme et propre, adapté à ses besoins. Je veille à ce que les espaces soient sécurisés, sûrs et propices à son bien-être. Je dispose d'une grande cours clôturé et d'un espace boisé derrière ma maison, avec des sentiers pour les promenades. La communication est également essentielle à mes yeux ; par exemple, je vous tiens régulièrement informé afin que vous ayez toujours l'esprit tranquille.
“Thanks Vicky for the staycation of Muffin - she’s had a lovely home and fluffy friends to play with over Christmas!!! Very grateful for your family to have Muff”
“Amanda is amazing with Bagel, super supportive, sending lots of updates and pictures! She was also able to keep Bagel for an extra day when we were unavoidably delayed in our travels and the overall experience was super smooth and Bagel loves her! Thank you so much 💗”
“I left my dog Leila with Sondos for a long weekend. She obviously loves dogs and was really good with mine. I came home to a really happy dog who (while she was clearly excited to see me) seemed torn, it was almost as though she didn’t want to leave! You know you’ve found a good dog-sitter when! Leila is my baby and I would not leave her with just anybody. I felt comfortable leaving her with Sondos. She sent me photos and little updates of Leila throughout the stay. She took her on walks and to the park, introduced her to other dogs belonging to friends of hers and made a Leila feel at home in her condo ?? She was also very flexible and understanding when my schedule changed at the last minute. Very much appreciated. I will definitely be contacting her again the next time I am out of town!”
“This was the first time ever leaving our dog with someone. Geneviève was very professional and attentive to our dog’s daily routine. We loved the idea that Gen sent us pictures and videos daily. It reassured us that our dog was in good hands. When we picked up our dog we could tell that she was at ease and enjoyed her stay. Thanks again Gen.”
“Excellent service, recommandé à 110%, elle a été à l'écoute des besoins de ma belle Gipsy (pas facile) et elle n'a pas juste gardé ma bébé, elle l'a fait sentir confortable et en famille! Merci beaucoup Sabrina!!”
“Valérie est la meilleure gardienne de chiens en ville ! Mon chien est allé se faire garder chez elle deux fois déjà, et il s’ennuie en revenant chez nous. Elle est généreuse, adore les chiens et en prend très bien soin. Elle a aussi gardé les deux rats de ma fille, et ça s’est aussi très bien passé. C’est un gros coup de cœur pour nous. Je la recommande chaudement.”
“Janine kept me updated with photos and is clearly very dedicated to taking good care of your dog while they are with her. My dog ended up having gastro issues while with her and she cooked her plain rice to help her tummy and cancelled plans so that she could be home with my dog during her stay with her.”
“We love her. She gained my dog’s attention and trust easily. She send us pictures, videos and updates frequently without asking for them; she spoils our dog and our dog was happy and loved!! 🤩 very grateful, totally recommend it. This was our first time and definitely we will come back!!”
“Janice met Joy and I knew right away that I could trust Janice to take care of Joy when I was on vacation. It was clear from Joy reaction and from the way she engages and make sure no detail was overlooked, that Janice love dogs. It was reassuring to received regularly news photos, to let me know that Joy was well and happy. I will not hesitate to reserve again. Thank you so much”
“Our 2 year old doodle, Luna, was amazingly taken care of. They took the time to have Luna get acquainted with them and their dogs, asked me all about her and her needs, sent us a bunch of pictures and kept in contact with us! Highly recommended and will rebook with Nadina and Izzy!”

Beyond amazing! I cannot recommend Jessica enough. She absolutely exceeded all of my expectations while watching my doggie. Not only did she take incredible care of her, but she also sent daily updates and photos which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, look no further. I 1000% recommend her and will definitely be booking her again 😊
We couldn't be happier with the care our puppy received from Harinder! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in kind and loving hands. She settled in so comfortably — it truly felt like a home away from home for her. What we especially appreciated were the regular photo updates. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. We came back to a content, relaxed pup, which says everything. We highly recommend Harinder to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely loves animals. We'll absolutely be returning!
Very great experience, right from the beginning I was at ease to leave charlie and he was in great hands, he was well taken care of and I received a lot of updates which let me know charlie was comfortable and feeling good throughout the stay. Overall great experience
It was obvious that Niki had a wonderful time with Carolina and Francisco! We truly appreciated their kindness, patience, and deep understanding of dog behavior. They had a great plan for taking care of our "fiery" little family member and stayed on top of everything—from the daily checklists to the frequent updates. Receiving Niki’s photos every day absolutely made our day and kept us at ease during our vacation. We are so glad we found them through Rover. We highly recommend this lovely couple; they truly treat our furry friends with so much love!
I had an amazing experience boarding my cat with Ekaterina! Her home is incredibly cat-friendly. From cozy spots to explore to plenty of space to feel comfortable. Ekaterina and her family were wonderfully sweet, patient, and welcoming, treating my cat like one of their own. I also loved the daily updates, complete with fun and witty commentary that always made me smile. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat-boarding experience. Highly recommended!
Emma and Ben are amazing!! They looked after our very energetic black lab for 3 days. He was super comfortable with them and it’s clear that they are both huge dog lovers! Fully fenced yard so he could spend lots of time outside playing. They were very respectful of Charlie’s quirks and routines so he seemed right at home there. He came home and crashed after all the excitement! Highly recommend!
Coco had another incredible stay with Ginger and Pluto. She made new friends too- a beagle and a cocker spaniel. This time when I picked her up, she wanted to stay at Ginger’s and kept pulling to go back in the house. Thank you Ginger for taking such good care of Coco, and for all the photos and videos you send. You really are an incredible person and dog sitter.
