“Susan and Gordon are dog people and we’re really in tune with our dog’s rescue history and needs. They were lovely to meet, professional, great communicators, and respectful of our home and dogs routines. We really appreciated the daily text check-in’s and photos while we were abroad. The peace of mind and collaboration with our family (who provided the overnight care) made it possible to celebrate a milestone occasion and a happy dog grounded in his home environment. We would happily recommend them and will be making future requests. Many thanks Susan and Gordon for giving us such a special trip!!!”
About: Hey I’m Charmaine ♡ I’ve had years of experience taking care of dogs. I love playing with dogs and taking them out for walks. My friends/neighbours have trusted me to take care of their pets when they’re busy. I work from home on weekdays so I’m usually available, feel free to msg me if you are looking for someone to dog-sit or to watch your pups overnight :) I have a friendly pup myself, she is a sweet and chill doggo. She loves socializing with other dogs, she can keep your pups company.
“Amandeep has been amazing with taking care of our senior dog. He is extremely friendly and attentive to our dogs needs and keeps us up to date by taking pictures and writing visit reports. We are so appreciative of how gentle and patient he is with our dog who is quite old. I would definitely recommend Amandeep!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly very nervous about leaving my cats in someone else's care. But Danya was absolutely wonderful and made the whole experience so reassuring! She took amazing care of our cats—spending time with them, keeping their routine, and sending regular updates and photos that really helped put my mind at ease. The updates were so detailed and my family and I looked forward to every one of them! The pictures she sent were the best! It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them with so much kindness and attention. I’m so grateful to have found Danya and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Yee Yan did an amazing job taking care of my cat! She’s super detailed and genuinely concerned about every little thing. With her vet tech background, I know my cat’s in good hands. I’ll definitely rebook her next time.”
“I had the pleasure of having Wing as my drop-in sitter for over a month while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She is extremely responsible, always on time, and truly kind to my two cats. Wing took great care of them — refilling their food, changing their water, cleaning the litter box, and even helping with the water tank for my vacuum robot. As a cat owner who misses their pets dearly while traveling, I was especially grateful for the photos and videos Wing sent during every visit. They brought me so much comfort and peace of mind, knowing my cats were well cared for and happy. I truly appreciate her dedication and care — it made all the difference during my time away. Highly recommended!”
“We had a great experience with Wai Ming, who looked after our cat, Loki, while we were away. Communication was great and we felt comfortable trusting Wai Ming to care for Loki.”
“Selina gave us the much needed peace of mind we needed while we left our cats in her care. Our cats loved playing with her, she went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend Selina because she cared for our pets like they were hers. Thank you so much Selina for all that you did for us!”
“It was a pleasure having Niroji watch Milo and Teddy. The updates throughout the evening were fantastic. The fact she was available to help us out was great as it was very last minute. We will most definitely not hesitate to have her sit for us again. A wonderful experience all around. thank you Steve Morin”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with large breeds and multi-dog households. I currently care for two dogs of my own — an Alaskan Malamute and a young Samoyed — so I’m very comfortable managing different energy levels, personalities, and routines. I have experience with both puppies and adult dogs, including basic training reinforcement, socialization, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m also attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means active play, structured walks, or a calm, low-stress environment. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a safe, loving, and well-balanced home while they’re with me. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I already care for my own two dogs every day. I’m generally available throughout the weekdays and on Saturdays. I have a flexible schedule, with the exception of Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons when I have prior commitments. Outside of that, I’m able to provide consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the day. Backyard already fenced and my dog is really friendly and sweet with another dogs. And also can bring dogs walk outside if client request it.
“As a nervous pet-parent, I couldn’t be more blessed to have found Vanessa to look after my dog when I’m away. Her impressive experience and love of animals showed during our meet and greet and when she looked after our little guy. He adores her! I’ve already rebooked her for our next trip away and I’m reassured having her look after him.”
About: I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Even though I don’t currently have my own pet, I have always been the person my friends trust to watch their pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors. I usually go for walks during the day, so taking a dog for a walk or visiting a pet fits perfectly into my schedule I am patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every pet like my own.💗
About: ONLY 1 fur friend each time. Pets are families. They deserve love and care. My mom had a cat, we play, eat, sleep together. He taught me how to enjoy life no matter what you have experienced or experiencing. My friend had a dog, I always go visit. We played and went out for walks often. Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her. Loves hiking when weather permits,5km min. For 🐶 will provide daily walking data so you know how long we walked and how much energy we burned. We will go out for a walk in the morning time, lunch time and dinner time. More short 15-20 potty breaks in between as well. 3 times of walking of 30 min would be by default. On weekends will go hiking with 5km min. I lived in a pet friendly condo and the neighborhood is very quiet to take a walk. There are two community parks nearby to visit. When walking in the neighborhood and condo, will always meet at least 1 or 2 pet friend.
About: I will treat your babies as if they were my own, send you lots of pics. I am a reliable, caring person who is trustworthy! Would love to work with you :) I love both cats and dogs and have been caring for animal for over 8 years. I will do my best to make both you and your pet feel at ease under my care. I’m an active person so can take your baby on runs, hikes, outings if you like! We can discuss this further. Please message me if you would like to learn more. I work at the big 5 bank in capital markets so I am professional and a hardworker. I’m family oriented and currently working from home so I will be able to tend to their needs.
“Lin and her husband were amazing. They are the sweetest most caring people and that’s exactly who you want watching over your pet. They were so attentive to Winnie, responsive, set updates and pictures. We’re so glad Lin and her husband were our first experience with Rover.”
About: I've cared for cats and dogs for over 2 years and run a full pet-loving household of my own — a Border Collie puppy, a Siberian Forest Cat, and a British Shorthair. Raising a high-energy puppy means I'm comfortable with leash work, crate routines, and active breeds, and I'm patient and gentle with seniors who need a slower pace. I can give oral medication, handle nail trims and brushing, and I make my own healthy dehydrator treats. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Mandarin. I work from home full-time, so pet care isn't squeezed into spare time — it's my main focus all day, every day of the week. Your pet is rarely left alone for long. I keep consistent feeding, walking, and play times, and I'm happy to do up to 4 walks a day plus regular backyard play. Because I'm flexible and always home, I can easily match my routine to your pet's normal schedule rather than forcing them into a new one. Safety is the first thing I set up. I have pet gates on the stairs of every floor, so cats and dogs are kept completely separate and never mix. Boarding cats stay upstairs, where each family's cat gets their own private, dog-free room, while dogs stay on the main floor and in a fully fenced, escape-proof backyard. I currently board cats already, I monitor every guest's appetite, litter, energy, and mood daily, and I can give oral medication exactly on schedule.
About: My journey started as a volunteer at dog and cat shelters before I have any pets myself. I’ve cared for pets as a foster, TrustedHousesitter, and a cat mom for over 4 years. I also grew up with my grandma’s dogs, so I’m familiar with both cats and dogs of different personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to create a calm, loving, and consistent environment while you’re away. I work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows for regular feeding, playtime, and cuddles - or quiet companionship if that’s what they prefer. I live in a spacious townhouse that’s clean, quiet, and pet-safe, perfect for boarding or drop-in visits. If I’m staying at your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give my own space, ensuring your pet feels comfortable in a familiar environment.

She took very good care of our cat and followed all of our instructions while we were on vacation. She always responded very quickly when we contacted her and gave us many updates and photos. Our cat was happy and seemed to be very comfortable with her ! I would highly recommend Wing Shan for pet sitting services
Lin and her husband were amazing. They are the sweetest most caring people and that’s exactly who you want watching over your pet. They were so attentive to Winnie, responsive, set updates and pictures. We’re so glad Lin and her husband were our first experience with Rover.
My wife and I are first time users of the Rover platform who requested Selina’s services and entrusted her with a week long drop-in visit for Maru’s care at our home. She was very communicative, responsive and flexible during the whole experience. Maru is has not had much human contact, thus, he’s human-shy, and very wary of people. Despite having a lot of basic necessities that could be automated, our greatest fear was his loneliness and lack of stimulation. However, through a lot of patience and effort, Selina’s love and care for animals showed, eventually leading to Maru warming up and getting the play and affection he needed while we were away. When we got back, we could tell that Maru was well taken care of and his anxiety was kept to a minimum. We look forward to booking her services again in the future, and believe that subsequent times will be easier now that they’ve made acquaintance. For anyone booking with her, you can be rest assured that your furry family member is in good hands.
Yuqing was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my two cats during our vacation. She was very responsible and attentive at every visit — always making sure to clean the litter box, change food bowls, refill water, and spend time playing with them. She also carefully observed their behaviour and promptly updated me on how they were doing. I especially appreciated the adorable photo updates — more than 25 pictures each time! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cats were in such caring hands. Highly recommended!

Mark was amazing with Koa, he loved him! Koa is a german shepherd mix and has a lot of personality to him and can be hard to handle if you are not experienced, often finding people to watch him or leaving him with anyone makes me anxious, but Mark did an amazing job with him. He is very knowledgeable and shows that he is experienced, he knew how to handle Koa perfectly. He kept me up to date with a lot of photos and videos which i greatly appreciated, Koa looked so happy in every one. I would definitely highly recommend to book with them, I felt safe and comfortable leaving my baby with him. He was also very respectful to my home kept it clean and everything. I would definitely be booking again!
