“Lindsey was an excellent care giver to our two puppies overnight! I was feeling a bit nervous to leave them and she was very communicative and sent pictures throughout their stay which made the process a lot easier:) we already booked another sleepover!”
“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!”
“Lily had a great time with Marcy! It was my first time using Rover and I was anxious about it but Marcy was really communicative and put my mind at ease. The best part is getting all the pictures and videos so I could see how my girl was doing.”
“Excellent and flexible. My two miniatures had a great stay with lots of updates with photos. The backyard is fenced and grassy with easy access to apartment for vertically challenged dogs.”
About: I worked at my local humane society back when I lived in Ontario where I was responsible for daily enclosure cleaning/maintenance as well as keeping an eye out for any unusual or concerning conditions. I handled the animals and made sure to give them some love while I could. It wasn’t my job to do that much, but I just love animals so much and that job brought me a lot of joy. Aside from that job, I’ve handled pets most of my life. I’ve had cats, dogs, and more personally for 13 years I had a conure, and for about 7 I had a rabbit. Because of this, I’m very experienced with birds and rabbits especially! I am great with cats too, but my household does have one. She’s an old lady that sleeps mostly and if needed can easily be kept away from any other animals. At home I currently live with a cat who belongs to my sister, but I am her auntie and spend tons of time with her and look after her in ways such as helping with her inhaler, helping clip her nails, brushing, and so on. If my sister is away for any reason, she is fully under my care. Ideally I’d have your baby stay in my room with me if it works, but as a backup I do have a spare room that is pretty well empty with just a guest bed next to my room in my house, and because I live with a cat with Asthma, I try to keep all spaces (especially that room) scent free. I also have no problem staying at a client’s place for a few nights if we’ve established some comfortability and familiarity. I don’t have supplies or enclosures on my own, so all that would have to be provided by the owner. The only things I can provide currently without/additionally to the owner’s pet’s belongings are cat toys, treats, and food/water bowls.
“Kelly and Natalie are just fantastic dog sitters! They took excellent care of both our dogs, including regular fun walks, with the pictures to prove it. We were actually concerned our dogs wouldn’t want to come home again!”
“A big shout out to Sylvie-Ann and Stephane for the wonderful care of Huxley. Huxley has a few little issues and they made sure he was comfortable and happy. Their little Yorkshire Lilou (4lbs) and my 95lb Pitty cross enjoyed each other’s company. Lol. Thank you so much for taking care and hope to see you soon.”
“Glory loves going to Danielle’s and having the chance to play with Gibuu. Danielle works on training points with Glory so she comes home even better than when she left!”
“Juney always has a great time with Montana. She loves playing with Rune and comes home happy and tired. We get lots of updates about her adventures and It’s so nice to know she is well taken care of while we are away.”
“Joanne was a great host for Wallace. He is quite anxious, but he took to her immediately - she is clearly a dog person. Joanne shared many photos with us with regular updates. Very happy overall.”
“Tyler was amazing. Kita loved her time with him, as evidenced by all the wonderful photos we received of her stay. Would highly recommend Tyler and Kita will be visiting him again soon.”
“My dog Odis was well taken care of. When we came back after 2 weeks he was very happy and healthy. He became part of their family and fit in very well. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him.”
About: I have cared for pets for many years, from dogs and cats to fish, and I truly love being around animals. I’m an attentive person, and I’m willing to give your pet everything I have. I would love to take the time to understand your pet’s personality and routine. I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, as well as send you regular updates! I currently work from home, so I’m home all day and have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can promise that your pet will receive lots of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ll be there to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have a relatively spacious home right by the lake, which gives pets a comfortable and peaceful environment to stay in. I will make sure to follow any instructions you give in order to keep your pet and myself safe.
“Sharon was great at communicating daily re: my dog's day and what they were doing. She was also very flexible re: the drop off and pick up arrangements, which I really appreciated. Isla seemed to have a nice relaxing time at Sharon's and I'd be happy to take Isla there again to stay with Sharon in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. I’ve always loved pets and have raised a couple puppies as well. I will be your pets new best friend!

I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I closely follow each owner’s instructions, keep doors and leashes secure, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind!
“Marcel with his wife, have been amazing in caring for Joey. I get regular updates and photos that show Joey enjoying the ‘good life’ in their home. I was impressed with their meticulously cared for home complete with a sun shaded dog run. I completely trust their knowledge and experience leaving Joey in their care.”
“Tiana is great!! She is one of the best Rover caregivers I’ve ever worked with. We are in Sidney for just a couple of months, and I’m so glad I found her. She is very quick to respond and very easy to work with. She has a great fenced yard and friendly pups. Ben played all weekend. Tiana also sends lots of pics. We were never left wondering how Ben was doing because pics showed up multiple times a day. We look forward to working with her in the near future.”

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
