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!

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

Wing was so nice to work with from the very beginning to the end! I am so glad I had her help. She came to visit the cats to get to know them and their environment and answer my questions about the care process before the care period started. Each day she came on time and interacted with my cats and went through all the necessary steps of care. My cats felt comfortable and relaxed with her. She also kept me informed on the cats and took pictures and videos everyday to send me, which gave me peace of mind. I was concerned about my cats sneaking out the door and communicated it with her before the booking. She was experienced and made sure that did not happen. I came back to healthy happy cats. That’s all that matters. I would definitely hire her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for attentive care for their pets!

About: Pet care at our place is a full-on family affair! It’s me and my two awesome teenage kids running the show—and by “show,” I mean we’re basically a dog-loving dream team. Over the past eight years, we've fostered a whole parade of pups. One of them, Charlie, totally worked his way into our hearts (and onto our couch), so we made it official and adopted him. He's been our fluffy roommate for five tail-wagging years now! Charlie is a sweetheart through and through—super chill, loves all dogs, and might even share his toys if your pup plays it cool. We’ve walked, fed, cuddled, and cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Our home comes with a bonus: a big backyard that backs onto peaceful woods and trails—perfect for daily sniff-and-stroll sessions. So, if you’re looking for someone to spoil your pet (responsibly, of course), look no further. Your furry friend will be treated like royalty around here—with belly rubs included at no extra charge! 🐾 I work from home, so your dog will never be alone they’ll always have company, attention, and lots of love throughout the whole day ❤️ Our home backs onto a quiet forest with beautiful trails where we walk our dog daily. It’s a calm, safe area that’s perfect for outdoor time. Our dog, Charlie, is friendly and well-trained — he doesn’t need a leash but we always use one for other pets unless told otherwise. While we don’t use a crate ourselves, we make sure every pet feels secure, cared for, and treated like family in our home.

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: It's been two years since I began fostering and in that time I've learned a lot about the importance of caring for a pet whether it be basic training/ commands, thresholds or ensuring they receive proper mental stimulation. With my first foster (eventually foster fail), it was a lot of trial and error to figure out which training method was best suited for him because every dog response is different based on their breed and unique personality. The rescue (Sea Paws Rescue) was very complimentary of my foster's training and said he was one of their best trained intake! I've since fostered a rescue puppy and provided the same basic training to ensure they found their forever home, which we did! The family was also very impressed with how well the puppy responded to sit and down commands. During this time, I also watched 3 dogs in the same household over a two-week period, while ensuring each dog received the required training and engagement on a daily basis. I treat every dog in my care as if their my own and ensure safety precautions are in place to avoid any unnecessary incidents. I also understand that leaving your dog in an unfamiliar environment and person can be nerve wracking, so I will always provide regular updates via text, pics, or videos! I also have my Pet First Aid certificate through Walks 'N' Wags Pet First Aid. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I currently work part-time retail with 2-3 shifts per week, but I have flexible hours. During my two-week stint of caring for three dogs at the same time, it brought me a lot of joy to be surrounded by three loveable (and different) dogs. It also helped my foster pup understand proper boundaries with other dogs to know when and when not to engage or give proper space. In my home, I ensure that it's a safe, clean, and inviting environment for my dog. I also provide a structured routine to ensure he is properly stimulated - both mentally and physically (ex. Morning potty break, breakfast, and morning walks). For your pets, I guarantee they will receive the same treatment as if they were my own. If they have a routine, certain boundaries, or essential needs, I will do everything I can to ensure it's followed exactly as required.

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: 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.

Sarah took such wonderful care of Meemoo during the holiday season. This was our second time booking with her, and once again she exceeded our expectations. I truly wasn’t worried at all while we were away. Sarah kept us updated and treated Meemoo like her own. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again! 💛

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!
