“Andres is the best!! I was unable to walk my dog for a week so he was completely riled up when I left him with Andres for the day. Andres took him for at least 4 one hour walks and when he came home he was finally calmer, even the day afterwards as well. Andres is really saving me as an overwhelmed dog parent! Thank you!!”
“Third stay with Yani. Constant updates and pictures everyday, very accommodating and understanding, and very professional and talented. Thanks Yani! Oreo loves you.”
“Sara and Rick were amazing dog sitters! They were very friendly, easy to communicate with, and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. I’d definitely trust them again!”
“We are extremely happy we had to leave our home with short noses and with no hesitation Randi helped us oh and Trip had a ball And I was sleeping because he’s exhausted all the fun he had with her and your family”
“Fahlyn and Rain are incredibly sweet and helpful! I'm so blessed to have found them to take care of my puppy while I'm away. I can tell Croissant had a fun and cozy time with the picture updates 😊”
“I Milana 100%, she is very kind and friendly. Luna enjoy the time with her and her family.She sent me photos of Luna and the communication was great.We definitely will be back to her soon. She is the best! Thank you Milana! ☺️”
“This is our second time booking with Eden and Jacob. They are fantastic and we will definitely be using them as our primary choice for pet sitting in the future. I know our golden Toby had a great first time with them when he had the biggest excitement-butt-wiggles at seeing Eden the second time we dropped him off. They took great care of him even with his young pup energy. We highly recommend them if you are looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I've had pets my whole life, mostly cats, but petsit for a lot of dogs over the years. Four years ago, I got my own dog and it has been a wonderful experience raising and training him. What I love about dogs is being able to take them on stimulating adventures: hiking, canoeing, etc. I enjoy teaching new tricks, even silly useless ones. A dog's joy is infectious! Growing up with a diabetic cat, I am no stranger to the medical needs of animals. I have no qualms about administering injections or pills-whatever the pet needs. I also have experience in the cleanup and care of a senior dog, having inherited an elder Yorkie from a great-aunt. I am at home full-time now and can adjust my schedule to a dog's needs. I am always around to provide access to the backyard, or to go for a walk as requested. For appointments or errands, I am gone for a maximum of four hours. I live in a lovely home with a large, fully-fenced backyard. There's lots of wildlife to chase (hopefully not to catch!) such as birds, squirrels, rabbits, and the occasional fox. My home is, of course, very dog-friendly: there is nothing tempting at nose-height (and I will adjust as needed), no food left out for counter surfers, all shoes and clothes behind closet doors, etc. Dogs are allowed on couches and beds here, but there are also lots of dog beds scattered about.
“Jessica and her husband were incredible with my little guy. Our dog can be super high maintenance but he seems to feel right at home with the both of them. They will certainly be our preferred sitter for our little guy!”
“Saksham took great care of Percy while my family was away at a cottage for 4 nights. They sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout his stay. They also made sure to give him his medication on a set schedule. I think Percy had a great time! Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
“It was the first time I used the sitter for my dog. We left our dog with Adam for four days. Adam is a great pet sitter! He is very friendly and communicative. I received the message about my dog every day, along with photos. My dog looked very relaxed and pleased during her stay. I highly recommend Adam for his service. I will leave my dog again with Adam whenever it is needed.”
“Our dogs stayed with Aparna over Christmas and loved their time there. They had so much fun playing with her dog and enjoyed walks with Aparna. She was very responsive with messages and kept us updated throughout their stay. We will definitely be calling her again!”
“This week was Ollie’s second time stay in Lynn’s house for a whole week. I am so glad Ollie enjoyed staying there, and playing with dog everyday no matter its snow or muddy. When we come pick up, it’s a smell and dirty boy 😆 so I can see how much fun he had there. So glad Lynn took care Ollie so well and make he feel comfortable like home.”
“Khushbu has a clear love of animals and is a fantastic pet parent. Khushbu asked lots of good questions to make sure that our Coco would be well taken care of. We got plenty of updates and it was comforting to know that things were going well. I would recommend Khushbu without reservations.”
“We had a very positive first experience with Baltej and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for pet sitting. Our dog stayed with him for three days and we know she was well taken care of. We really appreciated all of the photos, videos and updates of how she was doing. Baltej is highly responsible and trustworthy and clearly bonds easily with animals. We will be return customers for sure!”
About: I have an incredible passion for animals that I pursued since I was a child! I’ve looked after animals both personally and professionally for well over 5 years. I was relied on by many neighbours and family friends to take in their loved ones and care for and play with them. I have also been employed professionally at a farm, feeding, cleaning, treating, and raising farm livestock. I aim to live the rest of my life in the animal care field! It is my passion and my speciality. I enjoy all aspect of animal care and can’t wait to meet all the amazing family members you have! I am a student so I have so much free time to play with my furry friends! I am able to go on frequent walks and monitor them everyday. I am at home most of the week so am able to dedicate a lot of effort to caring for all your animals! I have two quiet cats that live with me but are very friendly. Due to this everything even possibly dangerous is put far out of reach. Everyone who lives with me is very careful about hazards and keeping doors closed. We care so very much about the health and happiness of all the animals that we see and take care of.
Kitchener pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ranjitha is just amazing! Luna was at her place for about 10 days. And we were a bit worried as Luna has not shared a space with other animals before. But Ranjitha managed everything so well. Constant updates, even recommendations and questions. I would recommend Ranjitha to anyone looking for pet care.
They are great. We left Oreo with them for 3 days and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. As expected, it took some time for Oreo to adjust to a new environment, but the care and patience they showed was amazing. They made sure he felt comfortable every step of the way, (even hand-fed him on a day when he needed that extra attention) and shared regular updates. They genuinely care about the pets they look after. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, and caring boarding environment for their dog. Can’t thank you guys enough for the care and love you gave to Oreo. He’s a bit pampered, but you handled him with so much patience and kindness.
Behnaz took amazing care of our dog during the week long stay. She was very communicative both before and throughout the visit, which gave us real peace of mind. Our dog has diabetes and requires insulin twice a day, and she handled everything in a very professional and responsible way. It’s clear she genuinely cares, our dog was happy and comfortable with her the whole time. We would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet boarding.
Christine was fantastic! Our dog has reactive behaviours and requires medication so we were nervous about leaving her with anyone but Christine is very comfortable and experienced with all dogs. We received lots of pictures and updates. She thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Christine and we look forward to returning.
Jason is the absolute best! We started with a meet and greet and right away. It was apparent he was a competent, responsible, loving dog owner. He welcomed my high energy puppy, Bo, with open arms. Bo boarded with Jayson for six days and I got daily photos and messages of all the fun things they were doing. I knew Bo was in amazing hands so I was able to have a relaxing and stress-free trip. I won’t hesitate to book with Jayson again!
Hayley is a fantastic cat sitter! She took wonderful care of my senior cat, effortlessly managing a more complex feeding routine. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly has a lot of love for animals. My cat Olivia had the best time, she got so many cuddles! If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pets..especially those needing a little extra TLC…Hayley is the one!"
Cole and Hanee showed my two German shepherds the kind of love and attention that parrelels my devotion for them. For 8 days they sent pictures and videos of them running in a fenced yard or multiple walks around the parks. Including giving my girls affectionate hugs and doing tricks. I highly recommend this couple to everyone.
I boarded my Beagle 2 nights and days with Myt for the 3rd time. Myt is very capable and loves dogs. She makes sure all my dog's needs are met ie Playing with her, walking, feeding, time outside in backyard. She is allowed on the furniture just as if she was in her own home. My Beagle loves to come here and is relaxed and happy when I pick her up. I highly recommend Myt and will rebook for sure. Thanks to all.
We highly recommend Sarah! It was our first time leaving Milo, our puppy, and we were anxious about how he would do. She did a fantastic job managing his anxiety and keeping him happy and healthy while we were on a family vacation. She kept us at ease the entire time, giving us updates and sending photos of Milo. It’s such a relief to find someone like Sarah - we couldn't have asked for a better first experience. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur baby!
