“Brooke is a fantastic pet sitter! She provided frequent photo updates and detailed descriptions of how our pets were doing throughout her stay. Brooke took great care in keeping our house tidy. She also took our dog, Arthur for several walks a day and played with him in the yard. Both of our pets (dog and cat) had a wonderful time with Brooke.”

“Alara was great with house sitting and caring for my two senior cats, one of whom needs twice daily insulin injections. I came home to two very chill kitties, and a home that was kept very clean and in order. I really appreciated it and I would have no hesitation in booking Alara for the next time we go away and want to feel at ease with leaving our pets.”
“Carlea was fantastic! She stayed in our home for 10 days and took care of our 2 big, rambunctious dogs. She sent lots of photos and was very responsive. We are so grateful for her!”

“Elizabeth and Joao were amazing. They sent us pictures and updates that made us feel at ease. Our dog needs activity and we felt like they took great care of her and gave her lots of walks. I know they did a good job, because our little scaredy cat came out of hiding. They were respectful and tidy in our home. Very trustworthy!”

“This was our first time meeting Christina and having her stay overnight with Bean. Christina has a very calm energy and clearly loves animals. 10/10 good with communication, responsible, reliable, and "go with the flow" attitude. Will 100% book again.”


“Kassidy was amazing!! She took such amazing care of our little guy. So many walks, hikes and snuggles!! We also got daily updates and lots of pictures of their adventures. I would have Kassidy back in a heartbeat.”


About: I am a stay at home mom, with two small dogs of my own. My dogs love to play and are very social with all dogs big or small. We have a large fully fenced yard, and love to take walks in our neighborhood. My children and I will make sure your dog is well cared for and made to feel part of our family. I have a lot of experience with dogs and have been breeding them as well. I have a lot of experience with puppies as I have had a few liters with my dogs. I have been dog boarding for the last thirteen years and when I moved in the last year, I started with Rover. I currently only do dog boarding, so I can be at home with your dog the entire time they are staying with me. I have two adult children that live with me as well, so your dog will get lots of walks and play time. I have a fully fenced back yard for your dogs to play, as well as a huge covered deck. The dogs are allowed on my bed and furniture, the same as my dogs.
“Ethan was so great with my cats, they were very comfortable with him. He kept me updated with photos every day and little stories. I was able to go away and feel very at ease knowing he was taking care of my home and cats. When I came home, my house was clean and my cats were happy!”


About: We had a beautiful Golden Retriever 2013-2025 who went everywhere with me and was never left alone. I loved being with him, caring for him and other friends pets, walking, brushing, veterinary drop offs and collections as well as caring for elderly dogs too. I love all dogs. Will be with the dogs all day in my home and we have beautiful trails right at our doorstep for quick walks or longer hikes. Happy to be slower if dogs are older or small or longer if they have lots of energy. I work from home so pets would never be left alone, I have set up my work to fit in with caring for our own pet as a priority. Have looked after our own dog and walked 4-5 times daily with shorter potty breaks and longer excercise trips for 12 years. I have no fenced yard but have a provincial park and walking trails directly at my door so walking is never a problem. My own golden retriever will go outside for a variety of mini walks and a longer walk daily or we can take the car to other parks if requested.
“Nathan was wonderful! He spoiled my dog with lots of walks, trips to the beach, love and attention. He sent photos and videos and was in communication the whole time I was away. And my dog just loved him! I would definitely book him again. I highly recommend Nathan for your pet sitting needs :)”


About: Growing up in a small town with lots of land, animals were always a huge part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, including French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, French Mastiffs, Rottweilers, and many cats, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Now that I’m away at university as a full-time student, I miss having pets around every day and love any opportunity to spend time with animals. As a fitness enthusiast, I’m very active and happy to provide long walks, playtime, adventures, and lots of exercise for energetic pets. If your pet prefers relaxing and cuddling, I’m just as happy spending quality time keeping them company while I study. Whether it’s walks, feeding, brushing, bathing, cleaning up after them, or simply giving them lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and spoiled while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make their time with me feel like a vacation. I’m a university student with online courses so I have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply having someone around to keep them company, I’m happy to fit their routine and needs. I enjoy staying active, so energetic pets are always welcome, but I’m just as happy spending a quiet afternoon studying with a cuddly companion by my side. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality to make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive, responsible, and happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, bathing, exercise, training, or household rules. Whether caring for your pet in your home or spending time with them throughout the day or in my home, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care that I would my own pets.
“I was so reluctant to use Rover but then I found Shelly! Now I’m reluctant to leave this review because I don’t want her to get too busy and not be available but she deserves a glowing reference from me. Shelly, is absolutely the best and I feel so blessed to have found her…she is experienced with all their meds, loving and reliable. I highly recommend her as a caregiver. A+++ (and I don’t leave this review lightly….I am very particular when it comes to my babies )”

“Kelly literally saved our lives by taking our booking with short notice (our previous sitters got covid last minute). She was great with our high maintenance puppy, Kevin. She kept up communication which helped alot as it was our first time being without him. Kelley went above and beyond to ensure Kevin was well looked after. He came home safe and sound well fed and exercised.”
