Sjako was great with Teddy. His place had lots of space for a dog to play freely. He was extremely responsive on the app and Teddy was a very happy boy when I picked him up.

About: I have had a dog or taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Family, neighbours and friends have all relied on me to help take care of their pets for many years. I am a huge animal lover and a health care worker and will always provide the best and safest care for your pup. Recently I have fostered some dogs through a local rescue and helped them find their new home. I have learned alot about behaviours and training with these pups. We love to play in the yard or go for walks, and have lots of snuggles on the couch :) I currently work part time so have lots of time available to spend with your dog! My flexible schedule allows me to board your pet overnight any day of the week, or drop in for visits/walks. I have a fenced back yard and two small dogs to keep your fur baby company! Your dog is welcome to treat our home as their own and I will give them lots of love and be devoted to their happiness and well being while you are away.

Our two dogs had a great time with this couple. Sent daily updates to us which we appreciated. Nice back yard to run about in. Took them on an adventure walk as well. Well cared for by all appearances. Would absolutely use this couple again in the future.

Janice was great for our dog who had never stayed with a dog sitter before. She even cared for her sore foot much more than we would have expected. Definitely would take Cocoa back here.

Shane was a very caring dog sitter. Teddy stayed with her as we head on a prolonged trip. She kept us fully up to date every day and seemed to bond with him very well. I would recommend this sitter to anyone. Thank you Shane!

We left Kroshk in the care of Kelly and Natalie and were super happy. They have great strategies to introduce new dogs to their home and dogs and made our pup feel super comfortable. We received many updates of Kroshka having fun as well. I would rebook without hesitation, thank you!

I have a badly behaved cat and an old cat—and Yuet Pao took perfect care of both of them! I don’t think they wanted to come home. Both seem to have fallen in love with her. I am a very happy Cat Mom!

Sara was absolutely amazing with Leela! We could not have asked for a better sitter while we were away for a couple of weeks. She gave us updates with pictures and videos every day. She was responsive, attentive and you can tell she really loves caring for your pup!! Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you Sara !!

We felt so lucky to find these folks during a last minute shuffle of our plans for pet care for our dog, Maxwell. We were overwhelmed, running out of time, and stressed for our high energy breed. It was our first experience with a pet sitter and with Rover - and we were so happy with Coraline. We had a chance to meet and have a long discussion about our dog’s needs, and her calm reassuring energy helped us make a really good decision. Max had a great time, and from what I can tell he came home calmer & more grounded than when we left him (and of course we returned calmer!) it really felt like I got a better dog when I came home. We are super happy to have someone Max really enjoys being with if we ever find ourselves taking another trip without him!

Really happy with the dog care service . super friendly and clearly loves dogs. My pup comes back clean, happy, and tired (in a good way!). They even send little updates and pics, which I love. Definitely feels like my dog is in good hands.

Maggie was with Terry for a week and I usually worry because she is anxious around new people and being left but what a time she had! She seemed like she didn’t want to come home when I went to pick her up. She had lots of walks and off leash park time and playing in the yard; lots of cuddle time it seems. She even took to Jim, Terry’s husband right away- not one bark. It was an awesome experience for both of us. Thank you Terry for taking such great care of our Maggie ❤️ we’ll be back soon!

Janice was wonderful with my small dog, Buko! I am nervous leaving him with dogsitters typically because he is an anxious and sensitive dog. Janice took great care of my pup and sharing lots of photos and videos of him during their adventures. She reassured me that Buko was doing well because a tired dog (returning from a long hike) is a well-behaved dog! Definitely recommend :)
