About: I’ve loved dogs all my life and I am looking to foster after this experience on Rover. My family used to own a pet store for 6 years and I would always visit to take care of the animals. I own my own business and work from home which allows me to give your dog the attention it needs. Dogs need lots of energy and I’ve also got lots to give! I have a large house with lots of family that enjoys dogs, we are a very responsible household and will always respect your boundaries when it comes to your dogs. I’m here to give them physical as well as mental stimulation!

“Mark recently stayed at our house and dog sat our two pups Snoopy and Bailee over the holidays From December 17- January 8. It was a difficult time searching for the perfect fit for our pups, we had conducted interview after interview until we found Lorena and Mark. I read their reviews and figured let's meet with them. From the very beginning Mark and Lorena provided respect, trust and complete professionalism in communicating through Rover for everything regarding: payment, communication, tips etc. We then had a great Meet and Greet which confirmed Mark and Lorena would be a perfect fit for us and our pups. We provided instructions, locations, tips for food, toys, medication, emergency contact etc as request. Having Mark stay in our house gave Snoopy and Bailee the opportunity to stay in their comfortable environment. We have been through other dog sitters in the past and have not experienced such positivity and genuineness throughout. One of our dogs has a condition with her eye and we had provided pee pads. Mark using the time he had with our pups totally changed it around and managed to train our pups on the potty training. With hearing the feedback we received from Mark, we have also kept up with it according to his helpful tips and tricks. Finding someone who we can trust was our main goal and I believe it was definitely achieved. Mark exceeded all expectations and went above and beyond. The communication was amazing throughout our trip. We had a 10.5 hour difference being across the world and it was just amazing to consistently receive updates, various videos, photos through the day regularly. Mark completely eased our concerns. He communicated with us frequently and provided us with updates every day. Never once did I worry that our pups would suffer. He went above and beyond to make sure that our dogs were loved and cared for. Once we got home we were already thinking of asking Mark and Lorena to watch our pups for the next trip. What is also nice is to add that Mark has checked up on us after a few days to see how the pups were doing, which goes to show it's more than a job for Mark and Lorena, they truly treat your pups like they're own. We are beyond excited to have met the warm loving pair and can't wait to welcome them into our home in the future endeavours.”


“Stephanie was great with my senior dog. He seemed to feel comfortable immediately with her. She was on time, responsible, and went above and beyond to ensure my dog was well taken care of. i highly recommend Stephanie.”


“Sally was great. Kept us informed with pics the whole week. We will definitely ask Sally again.”


About: Hello! I’m Karine🥰, an experienced and passionate pet sitter with a deep love for pets. I have been fortunate to care for two amazing poodles — my current 2-year-old mini poodle in Toronto, who loves adventure and companionship, and my beloved toy poodle, who lived to 14 years in Hong Kong. Both were energetic and friendly, and through them, I’ve gained valuable experience in caring for pets at different life stages. I pride myself on being a dedicated and attentive pet sitter, offering personalized care based on each pet's unique needs. I personally groom and bathe my dogs, ensuring they stay clean and comfortable. My dogs have joined me on countless outdoor adventures, from cottages to camping trips, so I’m well-versed in keeping pets safe and happy in new environments. Your pets will benefit from daily walks and ensure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I’m skilled in senior pet care, understanding the importance of patience and comfort for older dogs. I also pay close attention to any special instructions or routines you provide to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved while in my care. Fluent in English, Cantonese (廣東話), and Mandarin (國語), I can communicate seamlessly with diverse pet owners and follow detailed instructions with ease. With a combination of personal experience, practical skills, and a genuine love for animals, I’m excited to provide your pets with the care and attention they deserve. As a remote worker on weekdays, I am available to provide consistent care and attention to your pets throughout the day. My husband also works from home three times a week, ensuring that there’s always someone to look after your pets. We are available to walk dogs before or after work, making sure they get the exercise and outdoor time they need. On weekends, we take our mini poodle out for outdoor adventures, including cottage, camping, etc and can do the same for your pets if desired. This routine is perfect for pets who enjoy regular companionship and outdoor activity. For dogs in my care, I provide regular walks, consistent feeding times, and plenty of playtime. If your pet prefers to sleep in a specific spot, whether that’s in their own bed, crate, or next to me, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I’m always available to provide updates and photos, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether it's their health, daily routines, or favorite activities, I’m committed to creating a safe and loving environment where your pet can feel secure and happy. Before any boarding request, I would love to meet and greet to get to know your furry friend. This helps me ensure that I’m providing the best care possible and that your pet feels comfortable in a new environment.

“I’m always cautious whenever Theo meets someone new but he liked Carmen right away. She was kind & considerate of what he needed & he was comfortable with her. I would definitely consider her to sit for him again & can recommend her to anyone else.”


“I’m always concerned when Theo meets someone new but he liked Erica right away. The first meeting went very well & it continued when she came to sit with him. Erica was kind & considerate & Theo was very comfortable with her. She sent some updates to let us know how he was doing which helped ease our minds. They got along great & I will definitely have her sit for Theo again.”


“Ashley was great! She was as super friendly, easy to communicate with and did so well with Pippin and Huckle :) would definitely recommend!”


About: Being raised around dogs, caring for pets comes naturally to me. My goal with Rover is to support families by offering reliable and loving care for their dogs.

“Yovanis is a wonderful pet sitter who is hard to book during the long holidays because my tiny toy poodle, Diamond is so fussy with his food. They were attentive and took excellent care of our little boy! Right off the bat when we first met them we got an excellent first impression. He is very warm and friendly and she is super knowledgeable on small breed dogs especially mine is only 5 lbs. At first we call every so often from our vacation, later we knew Diamond is in good hands and we all came home after our vacation relaxed and happy. During our time away Yovanis sent us photos of our baby having fun with Moana and having fun which was really nice. 🙂 I look forward to booking them again in the future!! Thanks for doing such a great job, keep up the great work!! ❤What can I say, you are a kind spirit and it shows in your love of animals. To be able to leave our dog is such good care, really put my mind at ease. Heartfelt thanks!” Linda”
