“Manvi went above and beyond to take care of my 8 year old rather anxious dog. She sent regular updates and was very understanding of last minute changes to the schedule. She is genuinely a warm and very caring person and I will definitely rebook with her. 5 star rating through & through.”
“I highly recommend Nilesh! From the moment I met them, I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in their care. They were incredibly responsible, attentive, caring, and genuinely treated my dog as if they were their own. What stood out most was the level of communication and care. I received regular updates, photos, and reassurance throughout the stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for.”
“I was very happy Cenayda was ready for my drop off of Lady Claire. Lady Claire was treated with lots of love and attention by her family members. Cenayda sent me updates and pictures of how Lady Claire was doing. I have already rescheduled another time with her.”
“"5/5 stars! Huge thank you to Gian for the amazing care Julieta received! She was happy and relaxed throughout the stay, and the updates kept us feeling connected. We can't wait to book again! Great job, and thanks for giving us peace of mind while we were away 😊🐶"”

“Luis was incredible with Ella, and was willing to take care of her on a last minute request. Ella and Blue got along really well and I was extremely happy to see all of the pictures and videos of Ella and Blue playing at the park and resting on the bench!! Luis was a great host, very nice, responded very quickly and he kept me updated daily with how Ella is doing would 100% recommend and definitely will bring Ella back again. Thank you Luis for taking great care of Ella.”
“Lina took an excellent care of our 10 years old dog. He seemed very loved, calm, comfortable and happy with her. She followed the exact diet, treats and walking instructions we provided and kept us updated by sending lots of pictures and videos everyday. Lina was also flexible with the drop off and pick up time which made things much easier for us. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Rachel was so amazing with our dog! She kept us updated all the time, and even took on the extra responsibility of giving our dog meds when she needed them. We highly recommend Rachel!”
“I had a great experience with Christa taking care of my dog this weekend! She sent regular photo updates, took my dog on plenty of walks, and made sure he was happy and well cared for the entire time. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I have an active 5 yr old rescue dog who I initially fostered. We have tried a number of dog sports including barn hunt, sprinter, lure and weight pull. While I'm not a dog trainer, I am well educated on dog body language, training, reactivity and fulfillment. I'm happy to maintain consistency in your training journey. On walks I like to focus on the dog being able to sniff and explore their environment. I believe that walks are for the dog so I let them dictate most of it as long as its safe. I also like to take moments to build your dog's confidence through play and urban agility. If there is any training you would like me to keep up on walks such as loose leash walking, I will gladly do so. I'm also experienced with various tools such as head halters, prong, e collars. I work a hybrid schedule and would be available for daycare and boarding during those days and weekends. Repeat clients will get priority for bookings Safety is my number one priority, baby gates, no indoor plants, no harsh chemicals in/around dogs space, meds/toxic foods are locked away. Crates for safety and separation, no high value chews or toys such as bones left out. Dogs will also be fed in separate spaces to prevent food related guarding. I put a lot of time into training and playing with my dog and any pet in my home will be given the same care
“This is our second time leaving Rocky with Sangjukta and Rocky couldn’t have been better taken care of and happy. He got along really well with Violet, their dog! She sent daily photos as we were away for 10 days. She has a big fenced back yard where he ran around with Violet. Thank you for taking such good care of Rocky!”
“Jennifer was amazing!! She kept us updated, had the delivery/pick up feature on which REALLY helped us while we were busy for our road trip! Casey is always a bit of a mess with anxiety and she wouldn’t eat for a bit but Jen was so patient and kind to her- we will ABSOLUTELY be using her services again!!”
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring confidence, structure, and reliability to every visit. I lead with calm energy and clear routines so dogs feel secure and well balanced. My active lifestyle means they get proper exercise, not rushed walks. I prioritize safety, consistency, and genuine care every single time. I work from home Monday to Friday, which allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily fit walks, playtime, and feeding into my daily routine, ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and never rushed. My flexible schedule also lets me respond promptly to any needs or changes, giving both pets and owners peace of mind. I care for pets by following their routines closely, whether at their home or mine. I provide walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, ensuring a safe, calm, and loving environment. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos, so they can feel confident and relaxed while their pets are in my care.
“Amy was fantastic with caring for our sheltie, Charlie. She gave constant updates and made sure he was well-adjusted in her home (walked and fed). Thank you so much Amy!!”
“Jennie was amazing with Lucky. She was super excited to have him and consistently sent us great pictures of him. She took him to these long scenic walks that he enjoys. He came back healthy and happy and this is a great sign for us. I would definitely try to use Jen’s service next time we are away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakville
This was our first time using Rover and had a great experience! Regan our senior dog had a meet and greet with Lisa and her family and we felt she was very comfortable so we decided to use her services for 5 days Lisa updated us with how Regan was doing and sent pictures which helped us tremendously! We picked up a happy and relaxed dog at the end of her stay ! We will definitely use Lisa again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Floppy! She was incredibly caring, gentle, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Floppy’s comfort and happiness, and that gave us so much peace of mind. Floppy was very happy, relaxed, and comfortable with her, which means everything to us. We are truly grateful for the love and care she gave Floppy and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our little Floppy! ❤️
Thank you Raquel, Greg and Gregory, Juno had a great stay with your family this weekend. All the updates, pictures and videos you shared with us put our minds at ease. We could tell that Juno was well looked after and was having a great time. A big hug to Mina who was so kind towards Juno. We highly recommend Raquel, Greg and Gregory and will definitely leave Juno with them again.
Melissa was absolutely amazing! ❤️ As it was Nala’s first night away from us, we were naturally a little nervous, but Melissa made us feel so comfortable and reassured from the very beginning. She kept us updated throughout, which meant so much to us, and it was clear that Nala was in the best hands. She cared for Nala as if she were her own, with so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and we would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur baby. Thank you, Melissa, for taking such wonderful care of our girl! 🐾❤️
I’m incredibly grateful to have discovered Ethan. He provided exceptional care for our little Milo, ensuring that he was always comfortable and happy. Ethan’s kindness and attentiveness were truly remarkable, making a significant difference in Milo’s experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Ethan to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate care for their pets. Without a doubt, I would send Milo back to him in the future. :)
Bonnie was amazing with Lily our two year old standard poodle. She took care of her for two weeks. This was the first time we’ve left our pet with a non-family member. Bonnie went above and beyond and looked after Lily as if she was her own. Bonnie’s constant communication assured us Lily was happy and doing well. We’ve already booked Bonnie for next year.
Sam, our very shy cocker spaniel, had his first daycare with Geoffrey and Louise yesterday and would seem to have had a great time. After a very comprehensive initial meeting where they both put us at ease we decided to take the plunge and place Sam in their care. This is not a decision we take lightly as he is so precious to us and we have high expectations- both Geoffrey and Louise met those. They provided me (a natural born worrier) with updates and photos throughout the day and Sam looked happy on them, which made me happy too. He is now booked to go for more days and hopefully will form a lovely bond with them.
Jacky and Rocio (and Abby) were great with my dog Muffy. I was gone for almost 2 weeks to Europe and my dog had never stayed with a dogsitter before, so I was a bit nervous. Jacky and Rocio did a great job sending me updates and photos. Unfortunately Muffy had some diarrhea while I was gone, and they kept in close communication with me to let me know how she was doing. They even reached out to my vet for advice to make sure Muffy was OK. I would definitely use them again to dogsit in the future!
Hi Abbie and Munib. Thank you once again for taking care of the dynamic duo, Luke and Leia! They were the most relaxed than they have ever been coming home. This is their fourth visit and they adapt better with each trip because of the two of you and this is really comforting to me, being the nervous fur momma that I am. <3
This was our first time leaving our 2 year old Morkie, Gigi with a dog sitter through Rover. Portia was the perfect choice, as she is very patient and caring which made our dog instantly feel very comfortable when we left her for an overnight stay. Portia’s home is very clean and she kept us updated through text and pictures on how your fur baby is doing. Portia has a very friendly dog, Simba who was very gentle with Gigi and they enjoyed their walks outdoors. Thanks Portia for taking such good care of Gigi.
We are very grateful to Ariana for taking care of our 5 year old golden doodle. He has never been away from home and he was staying for 8 days with Ariana. But he was very active and happy, and was well taken care of. He sure enjoyed the hikes and long walks with her.
Kathy took care of our cat Lyla for two weeks. This was our first time using Rover so naturally we were very nervous but Kathy was very easy to communicate with and answered all our questions and concerns prior to the booking. During drop off, Kathy gave Lyla space and time to adjust. Throughout the stay, Kathy sent frequent updates with pictures and videos and we could tell Lyla was super comfortable with her. She even made her a catnip toy! We highly recommend booking with Kathy!
