“Shelly and her family have been wonderful. She was very communicative, sending updates and answering messages very quickly. I'm sure Xulgo had a blast with them all and he was very well taken care for. I will book with Shelly again for sure. 🙂”
“Cynthia and Dave were amazing with Zoey! This was our second time leaving her with them. She always comes home so happy and tuckered out from the best stay. The property is so amazing and the ideal spot for dogs that love to play and burn some good energy. Cynthia is so good at communicating and keeping me update during Zoey's stay. We never worry at all when she it with Cynthia and Dave. So grateful to have found them!”
“Sometimes you find a host, and sometimes you truly find a second home for your dog. Heather and Pieters’ is the latter. In fact I’d say much more than a home. They are hands down, one of the most truly loving and caring family for any pet and I’m so glad Ollie got to experience their unadulterated love and care over the weekend. They genuinely are interested in both the physical and mental well being of your dog and want to ensure that they can do whatever they can to make sure that your furball does not feel out of place one bit. As a pet parent, the most important feeling that you want to feel when you get into your car after leaving your dog at a host’s home is a feeling of security, and their place is more than what you can ever ask for.”
“Lucky stayed with Rie & Masahiro O. over the Christmas holiday, and it was such a wonderful experience. They took excellent care of him and provided daily updates on how Lucky was doing. They were so kind and loving with him, and I could clearly see that Lucky felt completely at home with them. Thank you so much, Rie & Masahiro O.!”
“Obie had a wonderful overnight stay with the kind and caring Adrianna. Her leafy neighbourhood is perfect for walks. He had a great time. The next wedding we attend in Ancaster at the Old Ancaster mill, we will definitely bring Obie back. Thank you Adrianna!”
“Yasemine and Daniel are fantastic! They took the time to learn about my dog and all of her particular needs. They sent lots of updates. I did not have to worry about her at all while we were away. Zaffy had a great time and I would highly recommend them!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Seema and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog, Max. From the moment we met, she was very friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Max was dropped off at 7:30 in the morning and picked up at 7:30 in the evening, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands throughout the day. Seema was extremely caring and loving toward Max. He had a great time playing fetch with her and was walked multiple times during the day. She made sure he was fed properly and well taken care of. Max also made a new friend, Yogi—an 11-month-old Golden Retriever—and they had an amazing time together, playing and running around in the backyard, even enjoying the snow. It was clear from the updates and interactions that Max was happy, comfortable, and well behaved in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and dedication Seema showed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Max and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“You couldn’t ask for a more loving and warm person to entrust with your fur babies!! I was blown away at her kindness and the way she put the needs of my loved ones above her own. I couldn’t recommend anyone better than Liz 💜💜”
“My dog, Penny had a really nice time at Priyanka's place, while we were on vacation. We got regular updates, which put our mind at ease. She was happy with Priyanka and the other dogs during thr stay. Will definitely book this sitter for future stays.”
“Amanda and her family took amazing care of Ripley while we were away! From the initial meet and greet to the boarding of Ripley, Amanda made the entire process smooth and a positive experience for Ripley and us.”
“Nigel and his family took such great care of my Gigi! She had so much fun playing with their dog, Ozzy, and it was wonderful knowing she was in such loving hands. I would definitely book with them again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Eric and Deborah provided for our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels during their overnight stay. This was a trial run before our upcoming two-week trip to Europe, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. I was especially worried about our dog, Louie, who is extremely anxious and typically struggles when he’s away from us or with unfamiliar people. To my surprise and relief, he settled in with Deborah almost immediately. It was so clear from the updates and photos that both dogs felt safe, comfortable, and right at home. Knowing that Louie adapted so well has given me complete peace of mind about leaving them for our upcoming vacation. That reassurance is priceless. Eric and Deborah are kind, caring, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our boys. We are so grateful!”
“Jayna was a dream with my Pippa! Her and her partner took such amazing care of her and I got fantastic updates while I was away on my trip. Pippa had a blast with them and was very comfortable the whole time. I'll absolutely be booking her again for my travels.”
“My 11 year old dog stayed with Chetan and had an amazing time! From drop off, we were not rushed out, he allowed us to say hello to his many animals which was very lovely. It was also very nice to have the opportunity for my dog to meet other animals, such as goats. Chetan sent me plenty of videos and photos of Hunter during his stay which I 100% appreciated! It allowed me to feel very calm as I knew Hunter was not only in good hands, but also having a lot of fun himself. Hunter enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be back again.”
“Lulu loved her time with Jennifer! She kept us updated and sent us a picture of our happy dog. We would recommend Jennifer and Lulu is looking forward to another visit in future!”
“I would like to thank both , Jennifer and Femi. My dog had a great weekend with them. I would like to appreciate them for being so patience and loving with Chase. Also great with communication and lots of pictures. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to others. Chase will miss them ❤️”
“Manvi and her family took wonderful care of Tamarind. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in a loving, welcoming and dog loving home. Everyone showed him so much affection and attention, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I requested morning and evening updates, and Manvi was great at keeping me informed with regular photos, videos, and messages about how he was doing. When I picked him up he was happy, relaxed, and did not want to leave! He ate well during his stay, looked healthy, and showed no signs of stress or anxiety. He’s now fast asleep at home, which tells me he had a wonderful time and plenty of fun. I highly recommend Manvi to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Manvi and family for taking such great care of Tamarind!”
“Janice was a great communicator. She was very flexible with a last minute change in drop off time which I immensely appreciated. She sent tons of photos of my dog who looked like she had a splendid time on Janice’s patio and in her home. I would leave my baby with Janice anytime and highly recommend her.”
“Angela and her family took great care of Neko! It was clear they made him feel at home and I was very comfortable leaving him in her care. I definitely recommend Angela to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment to leave their fur baby!”

“It is so nice to come back to Happy Cats. Kellin was kind and gentle to my fur babies. She took good care of them. Everything was done exactly how cats have them in their routine. Kellin communicates and updates very well.”
“New to Rover and very new to having someone I don’t personally know care for my cats while away. Jocelyn made the full process comfortable and safe. It made being away easier with receiving constant updates and pictures. Thank you so much for your kind and loving care. Highly recommend Jocelyn.”
“Sheila was very reliable and was wonderful with our cat Norman. Norman can be difficult with strangers, and she was able to take good care of him and give him his medication!”
“Julia took care of our three cats for a week. We appreciated the pics from each visit (despite one cat being too shy to ever make himself known.) We look forward to Julia caring after our cats again in the future.”
“Yvonne has cared for our cat Shrug multiple times now, and every single visit reminds us how lucky we are to have found her. She takes such incredible care of him and treats our home with the same respect and attention. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing Shrug is in such capable and caring hands. What really sets Yvonne apart are the beautiful photos she sends and the detailed updates after each visit. You can truly see Shrug’s personality in every photo, and her messages always let us know exactly how he’s doing. It makes being away from him so much easier. She also goes above and beyond by bringing Shrug new treats and toys that he always looks forward to, which is such a thoughtful touch. On top of that, she helps with little things around the house like watering plants and bringing up the recycling bins, which we appreciate so much. We highly recommend Yvonne to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and amazing pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you so much, Yvonne! 🐾”

About: Our cats are so much apart of our family we take them Trailer Camping with us! usabsolutely adore cats, always have! Growing up we always had a cat and I am very comfortable adoring and loving other cats as much as my own. :) I am able to administer B12 needles to my cat Kiki (using insulin needles).
About: I’ve cared for pets of many different species from large and small dogs to cats, bunnies, and fish since I was 10 years old. Because of this, I'm comfortable with handling different temperaments, routines, and specialized care needs! While I love pets of all shapes and sizes, I have more experience with larger breeds, but I thrive with low to medium energy dogs. That said, I grew up with a Doberman, a Belgian Malinois, and a French Mastiff. I am very familiar with both high-drive breeds and gentle giants. I actually formed the strongest bond with my French Mastiff over our shared love of sleeping! As I’m not in school at the moment I currently have an open and highly flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet's routine and needs. My main commitment outside of pet sitting is caring for my own pets at home, my cat and three bunnies! Because my time is so flexible, I can offer dedicated time, attentive care, and flexible drop-in or sitting hours. I prioritize communication, safety, and respect for your home! I’ll send frequent photo and video updates so you know your pet is thriving. Before any booking, I make sure to write down all key details, including your pet's routine, feeding instructions, emergency contacts, and household rules so everything runs smoothly!
“Kirstyn is amazing and incredibly trustworthy. She has pet-sat for us many times, and every experience has been wonderful. Her communication is excellent, and she always leaves us feeling completely at ease. She’s our go-to!”
About: Love to be around pets especially dogs. I dog sit every time I get a chance and always make a fuss( awesome fur baby auntie). I have cared for family, friends and also from a house sitting website that I would always ensure there was a pet to care for as well. I had cats all my life so I am use to them and love them just as much. If I wasn't an entrepreneur I am sure I would be a vet or in some way a service to animals and our dear pets. My one cousin is studying to become a vet and i talk with her all the time about the best way to care for a pet. I am an entrepreneur and can make my own schedule. I have a online based business and can work from anywhere to ensure I have enough time for the furry loved ones. I care for pets in their own environment. I like to keep them as close to what they are use to as far as schedules/structures. I give them a dose of love with any and all activities we do together.

“Linda has been absolutely fantastic with my fur baby! She was very attentive to her. She provided multiple updates throughout the day and my Bella was so excited to go back the next day! Linda was quick and easy to communicate with and eased MY separation anxiety let alone my baby’s. I am so grateful she was able to assist me last minute. The entire experience was easy and took a massive weight off my shoulders. Thank You Linda! 🐾”
“Janice took very good care of our Archey. It was easy to leave him with Janice and now I know I would leave Archey with her in the future. We loved the updates and pictures throughout the day even though she only had him for 12 hours. We appreciated her care and community.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two dogs and currently have three cats who live with my mom. My boyfriend also grew up with dogs and cats and currently has a dog and a cat who live with his parents. We don’t have any pets living in our home right now. Although we’ve considered adopting, we realized Rover is a wonderful opportunity for us to spend time with animals, care for them, and give them the same love and attention we’ve always given our own pets. 🐾❤️ Our routine is calm and mostly home-based. My boyfriend works part-time, I’m currently on vacation from college and spend most of my time at home, and my dad has a very flexible schedule that allows him to be home often throughout the day. With our different schedules, there is almost always someone around to give your pet company, walks, attention, and lots of love. 🐾❤️ We have a fully fenced backyard, so dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time without the risk of wandering off. Oscar and my dad are also comfortable handling larger dogs and have experience caring for them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we always follow their usual rules, routines, and preferences as closely as possible. Our goal is to keep everything familiar so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and relaxed with us. 🐾❤️
“Priyanka took very good care of my Murphy! She is well organized & was kind to send me updates & pics. It was nice that Murphy met some new fur buddies, & looking forward to more visits 🐶😍”
“Shelly and her family were phenomenal dog sitters! So warm and inviting from the initial meeting and so attentive to our puppy’s needs. We have a very high energy, high needs 7 month old border collie lab mix (💀) and the pictures she sent us of him on a walk floored us because we rarely see him looking so peaceful. Would highly recommend Shelly to anyone looking for a trusted and experienced dog sitter.”
“You can tell that Chetan loves animals, especially dogs. I was nervous about leaving my new puppy for a couple days, but Chetan was great. He left me videos, gave me updates and answered all my questions in a timely manner. I will be using him on a regular basis! Thank you Chetan for taking such good care of Chocco!”

About: From a young age, I've felt a strong connection with puppies; they've inspired me to give them attention and lots of love. I've always enjoyed being around them. I've had the wonderful experience of caring for them, walking them, and playing with them. I always make sure they're comfortable, that they have a potty break whenever necessary, a walk during the day, and a final quick walk before bedtime. I like to provide them with a calm and safe environment where they feel cared for and loved. We have a fully fenced in garden where your furry friend would love to run and play! For their safety, we don't usually accept groups of three dogs at a time Pet care is a priority in my daily life. I currently have full time to dedicate to their well-being, and thanks to my partner working from home, there is always supervision and companionship, ensuring a safe, stable, and nurturing environment for your puppy. Our home features a large, fully fenced garden, allowing our dogs to enjoy safe outdoor activity. They are always under supervision in a clean, calm, and organized environment, where their individual routines and needs are respected.
About: I started a business in grade 5 with my neighbours because we love pets so much - offering dog walking and pet sitting to them. My love of animals started young and will continue to grow:) I work part time from home and take my kids to the park almost everyday when the weather is nice. We are a very active family and spend lots of time outdoors. I will be able to take your pets out multiple times and hopefully for longer hikes if they are into that. My kids also love animals and are very good with them. We have a large backyard to use that is unfenced, if your dog needs to be leashed I can take them for long walks instead of a free fun. I have a open concept layout in my home and can crate your pets easily if that’s preferred, I’m so comfortable having them on the furniture assuming we didn’t just arrive home from a hike cause then I will need to clean their paws first. I’m very flexible and can work around whatever schedule they are already used to because I work from home
“Nisha was amazing! Xena had a great time and was exhausted when she got home. She had fun playing with her new doggo buddy too! I will for sure be using her services in the near future.”
“Our border collie Kali had another wonderful stay with Priyanka and her dog Hazel. Priyanka went above and beyond to take care of our dog, even going so far as supporting her dental hygiene! We’re very happy :)”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from my own pets to the cats I’ve fostered. Over the past five years, I’ve also walked dogs, boarded pets and pet sat for others. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I’m always up for a walk or hike if your dog would like to come along. I’ll follow their usual routine, keep up the training cues you use at home and send you updates while they’re with me. I’m happy to take them to the dog park too, if that’s something they enjoy. 🐾 I love dogs and genuinely enjoy getting outside, so walks fit naturally into my routine.

About: I’ve been lucky to be the favourite “uncle” to four amazing dogs over the years: two playful Black Labs and two lovable Rhodesian Ridgebacks, along with plenty of experience caring for puppies and dogs of all sizes. Being around dogs has always been something I genuinely love, and I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and lots of playtime, needs extra patience while adjusting to a new routine, or simply wants some companionship and attention, I’m happy to provide care that makes them feel comfortable and happy. I take the time to get to know each dog individually and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry friend with someone else, which is why I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing while you’re away. Your pup will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule as I'm studying part-time in graduate school for psychotherapy from home throughout the week, which gives me plenty of time to devote to pet care. Living in a house with lots of space, I'm able to give your dog the attention and exercise they need while you're away. Whether it's a quick walk, playtime, or just some cozy downtime, I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and your schedule! When caring for your pet, my top priorities are safety, trust, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their environment. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care is a big responsibility, and I want you to feel confident knowing they are in good hands. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs they may have, whether that includes feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, or their favourite ways to relax. Communication is extremely important to me, which is why I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet and home with the same respect, patience, and attention to detail that I would expect for my own.
About: My first pet as a kid was a cat my family rescued. When I was in high school I volunteered for 4 years at the Hamilton SPCA doing dog walks . And cats and small animal socializing. Career wise I worked in the child care field for 10+ years in different roles. In 2024 I changed jobs to house cleaning I also adopted a rescue senior cat that I later found out had diabetes in 2023 ❤️🩹 *** recent update . Because my landlady is also boarding dogs . And her place is small she asked that I no longer do it . My work schedule is flexible. But right now because I’m new on rover and things are slow I’m working mon - Fri So will be available for weekends . I can accommodate a week long booking I just need some notice to book the days off at work I care about animals like they are my own . And do my best to make sure they feel safe and loved and give them my time and attention , I do treat my experience as life long learning . I have a good friend who had her own private dog sitting business for over 10 years she did many workshops over the years she’s a wealth of knowledge for me . But I’m trying to catch up and learn about dog training and things like dog cpr online. So I can be the best dog and cat sitter for your beloved.
“We had a great experience with Ethan! He was very friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. Finlee (our Staffy mix) absolutely loved him — I haven’t seen her smile that big in a while. She was always so excited to see him, and he did a great job getting her nice and tired. He really takes the time to understand her personality and needs, which makes us feel safe and confident leaving her in his care. We’re definitely looking forward to booking more walks and dog sitting with him! We would recommend Ethan to anyone looking for services. Thank you again Ethan!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs for the past 8 years, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I started dog sitting for friends and family in high school and still regularly look after dogs today. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I make sure they get plenty of attention and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is to make sure you can leave knowing your dog is in good hands and getting the same care and attention they’re used to at home. I work as a teacher during the week, so I’m typically available after 4:00 PM Monday through Thursday and after 4:30 PM on Fridays. I’m home most Friday nights and usually have plenty of availability on weekends, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, and keeping your dog company. My schedule can change from time to time, so I’ll always keep my Rover availability updated so you know when I’m free! I want every dog I care for to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fully fenced backyard with lots of space to run around, play, and get some fresh air. I also have an extra dog bed, toys, and treats available to help them settle in and enjoy their stay. When caring for a dog in their own home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I know every dog is different, so I’m always happy to adjust based on what makes them happiest and most comfortable.
“I'm so grateful Nick was available to walk my dog Joey. Not only is he reliable, professional, and communicative but sends the sweetest updates and photos from their walks, and Joey gets so excited to see Nick. He's been flexible with schedule changes and notes if anything is off with Joey, going the extra mile because he cares! Thanks Nick.”
“Cannot recommend Yvonne enough. Great availability, great communication, and very clearly loves the dogs. I’d trust my pets with Yvonne any day of the week, she’s been a blessing.”
About: I grew up with pets and love taking care of them. My first pet Barney was my best friend growing up. We would play every day and I would feed her, brush and bathe her and clean her litter. She was a special part of the family for 16 years. My next pet Aiden was a very special part of my life. I always took good care of him and he was a real comfort to me when I was feeling down. I had another pet Rambo who just recently passed. She was almost 17 years old. I saved her because nobody wanted her and we always had a special bond. I appreciate their unique personalities. I am very caring and gentle. I currently work for Vogue Models & Talent which is based in Hamilton, Toronto and Vancouver. It's a fun and creative job and I enjoy it very much. I have a fenced in yard and my house is very clean and safe. I always keep my eye on the pets I care for.
“I couldn’t be happier with the walk and care my dog received. Super reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. My pup was happy, well-exercised, and comfortable. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Jenn! 🐾 🐶 I live with my better half, Kevin and our two kids. We’re lifelong dog lovers with over 20 years of experience caring for our own pups. We know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog — someone who will treat them like family. That’s exactly the kind of care we offer. You can rest assured your pet will be well taken care of, safe, and having a fantastic time! We specialize in small dog sitting in our home in Dundas and offer dog walking for dogs of all sizes. Our cozy detached home is in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood and features a fully fenced yard, perfect for playtime and relaxing outdoor time. Jenn is available for weekday walks or drop ins, and we offer dog sitting at our home (just check our availability!). When we’re sitting, we only welcome one dog at a time to ensure your pup gets plenty of attention and one-on-one care. We also provide walks every two hours to keep them happy and active. Safety is always our top priority. We always do a meet & greet before every stay to make sure your dog is comfortable with us, our kids, and our home. Our dog Berkley has passed away after a long and happy life, so there are no other dogs in the household currently. Dogs are always leashed on walks outside our fenced yard, and we’ll follow any care instructions you provide — down to the last detail. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to chat! 🦮 New to Rover? Let us know and you can get $20 off your first booking. We look forward to meeting you and your pup! Jenn is currently a stay at home mom, with kids in school and has availability from 9am - 3pm and some evenings during the week for dog walking or visits. We’re also available evenings and weekends for dog boarding. Depending on her availability, and your needs we’ll work together to find a suitable time - whether you need to cover off a vacation, or a regular daily walk. We place a strong emphasis on safety for your dog, ensuring that they will be comfortable and well cared or during our walks, visits or boarding. For first time clients, we will arrange a meet and greet so we can meet your dog and get a feel for their personality and comfort level. We also want to make sure your dog is comfortable with our kids. Daily updates and photos will be provided so that you have peace of mind.

“Shelly and her family have been wonderful. She was very communicative, sending updates and answering messages very quickly. I'm sure Xulgo had a blast with them all and he was very well taken care for. I will book with Shelly again for sure. 🙂”
“Cynthia and Dave were amazing with Zoey! This was our second time leaving her with them. She always comes home so happy and tuckered out from the best stay. The property is so amazing and the ideal spot for dogs that love to play and burn some good energy. Cynthia is so good at communicating and keeping me update during Zoey's stay. We never worry at all when she it with Cynthia and Dave. So grateful to have found them!”
“Sometimes you find a host, and sometimes you truly find a second home for your dog. Heather and Pieters’ is the latter. In fact I’d say much more than a home. They are hands down, one of the most truly loving and caring family for any pet and I’m so glad Ollie got to experience their unadulterated love and care over the weekend. They genuinely are interested in both the physical and mental well being of your dog and want to ensure that they can do whatever they can to make sure that your furball does not feel out of place one bit. As a pet parent, the most important feeling that you want to feel when you get into your car after leaving your dog at a host’s home is a feeling of security, and their place is more than what you can ever ask for.”
“Lucky stayed with Rie & Masahiro O. over the Christmas holiday, and it was such a wonderful experience. They took excellent care of him and provided daily updates on how Lucky was doing. They were so kind and loving with him, and I could clearly see that Lucky felt completely at home with them. Thank you so much, Rie & Masahiro O.!”
“Obie had a wonderful overnight stay with the kind and caring Adrianna. Her leafy neighbourhood is perfect for walks. He had a great time. The next wedding we attend in Ancaster at the Old Ancaster mill, we will definitely bring Obie back. Thank you Adrianna!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Seema and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog, Max. From the moment we met, she was very friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Max was dropped off at 7:30 in the morning and picked up at 7:30 in the evening, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands throughout the day. Seema was extremely caring and loving toward Max. He had a great time playing fetch with her and was walked multiple times during the day. She made sure he was fed properly and well taken care of. Max also made a new friend, Yogi—an 11-month-old Golden Retriever—and they had an amazing time together, playing and running around in the backyard, even enjoying the snow. It was clear from the updates and interactions that Max was happy, comfortable, and well behaved in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and dedication Seema showed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Max and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Amanda and her family took amazing care of Ripley while we were away! From the initial meet and greet to the boarding of Ripley, Amanda made the entire process smooth and a positive experience for Ripley and us.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Eric and Deborah provided for our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels during their overnight stay. This was a trial run before our upcoming two-week trip to Europe, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. I was especially worried about our dog, Louie, who is extremely anxious and typically struggles when he’s away from us or with unfamiliar people. To my surprise and relief, he settled in with Deborah almost immediately. It was so clear from the updates and photos that both dogs felt safe, comfortable, and right at home. Knowing that Louie adapted so well has given me complete peace of mind about leaving them for our upcoming vacation. That reassurance is priceless. Eric and Deborah are kind, caring, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our boys. We are so grateful!”
“Jayna was a dream with my Pippa! Her and her partner took such amazing care of her and I got fantastic updates while I was away on my trip. Pippa had a blast with them and was very comfortable the whole time. I'll absolutely be booking her again for my travels.”

“Janice was a great communicator. She was very flexible with a last minute change in drop off time which I immensely appreciated. She sent tons of photos of my dog who looked like she had a splendid time on Janice’s patio and in her home. I would leave my baby with Janice anytime and highly recommend her.”
“Angela and her family took great care of Neko! It was clear they made him feel at home and I was very comfortable leaving him in her care. I definitely recommend Angela to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment to leave their fur baby!”
“Matthew took amazing care of my two boys, Gus and Jaq! He sent frequent pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while they were in his care. My two frenchies clearly had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were safe and well looked after. I would absolutely recommend Matthew and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!”
“Wonderful experience! Great communication and lots of pictures to keep owners up-to-date! Great boarding option for those with social pups who like other dogs. Would use again!”

“Wendy was phenomenal. I needed a sitter for Jonas for a night since my usual contact was not available. We did a meet and greet and she showed me her house and introduced me to family including her dog Holly. During Jonas' stay Wendy kept me updated with lots of photos. I would definitely suggest her to anyone!”
“Pruthu is very responsive and flexible to our requests, and took great care of our dog. He is also experienced with dog training, and our dog had a great time during the stay! Will definitely book again if he is available in the future.”
“Aunika was fantastic with Jolene. Her communication was prompt and she made the meet and greet, pick up and drop off super easy. Jo came come super tired form playing with her new golden friends and can’t wait for another date with them. Thank you so much!”
