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.

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!

Truffle had such a wonderful experience and was so well cared for! He came back in such a good mood and definitely picked up some wisdom from the two elderly doggos! Thank you Amy and Ellie! :)

Danielle took great care of Glory and wants us daily updates and videos. Glory also got some good brain work as Danielle did some training exercises with her too.

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.

Haley and Mark gave Patches plenty of attention and exercise, which is very much what makes Patches happy. I was sent many pictures of Patches on her walks, with Nova (their dog), relaxing on her bed and sniffing around the yard. Haley and Mark were great!!

Bentley had an excellent stay with Lauren and Andy with plenty of walks and no end of fun. It was easy to tell that he was enjoying himself because he got so tired and was ready to sleep at night without a problem. Lauren also sent us daily reports on what had happened together with photos and some videos and we were most happy to get the regular updates An excellent experience

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.

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!

Leaving a second review this time for a longer trip (a little more than 2 weeks). Antonia and Jordon and their children have taken very good care of Woody during this time and even beyond our expectation showing him similar love we have for our dear Woody. They went the extra length celebrating his 3rd birthday. Woody has been getting actovities everyday. During our +2 weeks travel, we really enjoyed the updates giving us peace of mind even if we have been missing him a lot. Thank you. Antonia and Jordon's family will be our primary goto for sure.

Marcy is absolutely the best. She took excellent care of my dog for 4 weeks which I had never left her that long. This is a doggie daycare with love and affection. I received pictures and updated anytime I needed which made my time away from her stress free. She gets to know your dog and makes their stay comfortable. I will definitely see you again Marcy. With Love Chloe 💕💕

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!

Tazzy had a great time staying with Jessica and I felt confident that she was being well cared for. Lots of texts, pics and videos sent to keep me updated on how things were going so I could relax, enjoy my trip and not worry about my fur baby.
