“We had to be away from our Molly, a 2 year old Goldendoodle, for a week and a half while my wife and I went overseas for a trip. We were nervous about leaving Molly as she'd never spent a night away from us, but Danielle made everything so comfortable! She always ensured Molly had multiple walks every day, and gave her the attention she needed. Danielle made her home a happy place for Molly to stay, so much so that Molly was comfortable enough to sleep on their bed! We had a great experience and would absolutely recommend Danielle! Chris”
“We left our senior dog PJ with Vivian and her parents, and they took amazing care of him. We got many updates and pictures to show how well he was doing. PJ comes with a long list of medications and special requests and they were great at following all of them! I would not hesitate to recommend them to take care of your dog!”
“We had our dogs stay with Tanya during our hectic wedding weekend and her friendly and unobtrusive updates gave us the peace of mind we needed to focus on the event. Luna and Wall-E seem happy and healthy as ever and they don’t seem to’ve gotten themselves into too much trouble while we were away. Our thanks go out to Tanya for being so accommodating and contributing to the success of our celebration.”
“Shannon took great care of our dog. She kept us informed throughout the weekend and sent lots of great pictures. Riley came home happy and tired out. We would love to use Shannon's services again.”
“She’s not even been home 10 minutes and she’s sleeping, tired from her busy weekend with Jason, Jocelyn and family. As always a great stay with them. They treat Guinness like she’s one of their own.”
“Lei was absolutely wonderful with our two doggies. She was so easy to chat with, kept me updated the whole time, and sent lots of photos so I never had to wonder how they were doing. The best part? Our dogs were instantly comfortable with her, and when we picked them up they were relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great time. Thanks, Lei - you were amazing.”
“Thank you for having Bosco and Chloe 🙏 …again! It is always so nice to keep in touch when they are with you. We love the updates and pictures of them having the best time with their friends! Thank you also for tending to Boss with such care when he needed it 🫶”
“Ruby and Gordon were fantastic. They obviously love dogs and have lots of experience. We already booked our next appointment with them! A dream come true for dog owners looking for a safe and loving environment for their pup.”
“Rodrigo was amazing and we felt very comfortable leaving our Winston with him and his family. We recieved regular updates and really awesome photos, which were super appreciated. He and his family clearly care a lot about dogs and are experienced in taking care of them. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Winston with Rodrigo again 🙂”
“Susana was great with Nugget- very consistent communication throughout the stay. She was very patient with him as he adjusted to a new location. You can tell their whole family loves having pups in their care.”
“Michaela was wonderful, she kept us updated with pictures on how Ollie was doing. Lots of walks, cuddles and playtime. Ollie had a great time and we will definitely use Michaela again.”
“Lisa and Jason were absolutely wonderful with Storm! They went above and beyond to make our little guy feel comfortable while we were away. And the pictures we received were so cute!!!! Thank you!”
“Left our two year old Ace with Stephanie while we did a short getaway. First time using Stephanie for dog care and she was fantastic. She arranged a meet and greet in advance for us to connect and see if everyone felt comfortable. Stephanie is super personable, incredibly responsive and we appreciated the regular updates and pictures while our pup was in her care, assuring us everything was going well. Would highly recommend Stephanie for your dog sitting needs!”
“Jason took amazing care of my dog ! They were reliable, attentive, and kept me updated with photos and messages. I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend!”

“Jenna is awesome! She takes fantastic care of my cats, they love her. She's reliable, a good communicator and I fully trust her to make decisions when I'm not there. Thank you Jenna!”
“We left our 2 cats (Mike and Ike) and our our little dog (Tati) with Jacqueline and Jamie for several nights over the holidays. We've come to trust them implicitly. Whenever people asked us where our pets were overnighting, we told them 'at a 5-star resort' because each of our furry companions received lots of TLC and individual attention throughout their stay. Jacqueline went as far as to put out soft blankets, pillows and soothing music to calm one of our cats who is always a bit anxious in new environments. We also really appreciate the daily updates with photos. Our pets' stays here are always top-notch - there's really no other place like it.”
About: I have two beautiful cats of my own, Nala and Stevie (Nicks), who have changed my life! My baby Nala has her own special needs living with anxiety that often manifests in changed litter box habits. From stinky food to stinky litter boxes, not much bothers me. Happy babies, happy life!
About: I've lived alongside many cats in my lifetime - I've always felt as though every cat in the world is my friend, and yours is no different! I am gentle, patient and receptive to cats and their needs. I understand that some cats are a little more cuddly, and others are fans of their own personal space - I love them all just the same. I've cared for kittens, senior cats and everything in between - I definitely don't discriminate. I'm a genuine cat lover - I offer discounted ratings for longer bookings and discounts for repeat clients. As a settler in Ottawa, I recognize that I am on the traditional, unceded, and unsurrendered territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation. I offer free compassionate care for Indigenous cat owners, and discounted rates for low-income or disabled cat owners. Message me today<3.
“Christine was our first catsitter, from Rover, with Mario and Luigi. I felt really good leaving for 5 days, knowing that we had an established schedule and a list of extra info for Christine. She did amazing! I had news/pics daily. I am so pleased with Christine’s care. I especially appreciated the daily entries in a journal left for me 🤩. It was fun to read! Thank you so so much Christine 😻😻”

“We were very thankful for Nicole and Eddie’s availability on short notice when we needed to go out of town for the day. Both Teaka and Ciera were so excited when we arrived and they were very happy with their stay. They treated our girls like their own which put our minds at ease. I would totally recommend their services.”
About: I’ve had tons of different animals growing up. Recently had to euthanize my 15 year old family boarder collie. Also an English bull dog who passed away at two due to breathing issues. I miss having a dog around, however am not ready to adopt my own just yet. Would love to have them over here and there. I Absolutely adore dogs! I currently work from home so I am always here to take care and love your animal! Will walk, feed, cuddle them and if permitted, take them where me and my family go, weather it’s a walk to the park or beach! We will love and care for your pet as our own. We have a backyard for them to pee/poo as well as a pool if they can swim. Will go on walks! I have two children who adore animals who are very gentle so we will all be spending lots of time together. Dog must be kid friendly though.

About: I'm 22, I've had animals my entire existence including reptiles. I live on 4 acres of mostly fenced in yard for your babies to run around. I'm flexible on anything you need for your babies. (And I can babysit your reptiles) I currently have no job but I'm looking for a part-time so I can continue to focus on meeting all sorts of new animals that need somewhere to snooze and play. I have a mostly fenced yard, three doggos that are super friendly to everything. I have experience with vet medicine and crate training. I have LOTS of safe dog toys that need to be played with.
“Took really good care of my dog. Very attentive to what she needed and informed me of worried she had. My dog does not drink much but the vet said it is fine but it is not normal for dog and saw that.”
“Our Portuguese water dog Splash spent a day with Faye for doggy day care. Faye sent several text updates and videos during the day, to show us how our sweet girl was doing. I'd mentioned to Faye that Splash is a real "people dog," and she sent several videos to reassure me that Splash was getting lots of cuddles. Faye is a warm, friendly person, and it's clear that she loves dogs. It was good to know that Splash was in good hands while we were out for the day. We've booked Splash with Faye for a 10-day stay in a couple of months. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services.”
“Thank you so much Vivian for taking care of our 6 month old puppy! He had such a great time and we received multiple updates and photos throughout the day. Thanks again and we look forward to having Theo stay with you again!”
“Karen was amazing with my 2 little nervous rescue pups. They are usually anxious in new places but they fit right in at Karen's and didn't show any signs of anxiety. They didn't even really react when I left. They had a fun day playing with Karen's dogs both in the house and in the lovely back yard. They come home relaxed and tired - a sure sign of a good day! Thanks so much Karen for your sensitivity and calm approach with Molly and Ruby... they'll be back for sure!”
About: With 200 acres of open space, your dog can explore on or off leash, follow wildlife trails, and relax on the porch for sunset views. I’m a full‑time mom and homemaker, and a serious dog lover at heart. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ve completed years of training with both puppies and adult dogs. I treat every pup like family while still respecting their canine nature and what they need to thrive.
“Michelle has a lovely/clean home/yard, and was wonderful with my somewhat shy dog Ozzie,. If the opportunity arises again I will be sure to bring him to her again for daycare. She kept me up to date on how his day was going by sending numerous texts and photos, alleviating the anxiety I had that came with leaving him with someone new.”
“Reiley took great care of Maui again. He was asleep on the drive home within minutes. Thank you so much. It’s so comforting to know he’s in such good hands. Highly recommend!!!”
About: I am a responsible and caring pet sitter who truly enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. While my professional dog sitting experience is still growing, I approach every booking with dedication, patience, and attention to detail. I am comfortable following your dog’s daily routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and basic grooming. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, and I do my best to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions, communicate clearly, and reach out if I ever have questions or concerns. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic or shy and adjust my approach accordingly. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and genuine attention. You can expect reliable service, regular photo updates, and honest communication throughout your booking. I care for every dog as if they were my own and always strive to provide a positive, trustworthy experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about planning my schedule around my commitments to the pets I care for. I make sure I have dedicated time for visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, so no pet ever feels rushed or overlooked. I am organized, reliable, and mindful of timing, which allows me to be consistent with each pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, short-term care, or extended bookings, I prioritize being punctual and dependable. I communicate clearly about my availability and always plan ahead to ensure I can provide attentive, focused care for every booking. I take safety, trust, and cleanliness very seriously in both my home and my clients’ homes. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure each pet’s routine, diet, and preferences are respected. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care as my own. I’m mindful of security at all times, making sure doors and windows are properly locked, alarms are set if required, and keys are handled responsibly. I maintain a clean and organized environment and always leave the home as I found it. I work to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their familiar routines, sleeping areas, and daily habits. I understand that staying in their own home can be especially reassuring for many pets, and I do my best to create a calm, consistent environment while their owners are away. I am attentive to each pet’s behavior and well being and watch closely for any changes that may indicate stress or discomfort. If anything seems out of the ordinary, I communicate promptly and transparently with the owner. I provide regular updates and photos and aim to build trust through reliability, honesty, and consistent care. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel confident, comfortable, and completely at ease throughout every booking.
About: I have had my own dog and/or taken care of friends and family's dogs for close to 40 years. Now that I'm retired, I am home all day and available for walks, potty breaks, playtime throughout the day and evenings. We have nice walking paths for plenty of socialization or quiet streets for those who are more on the timid side. Work is now a thing of the past, ready to spend time with more furry four-leggers and less time with bossy two-leggers lol. My days are all about my dogs, reading and going for walks. I have a fully fenced yard, not a huge yard though which is why we prefer to go for multiple walks a day for exercise. Our dogs are always allowed on our furniture as we see them as a member of the family and not just some pet. Fresh water is always available 24/7.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover living in Stittsville, Ottawa, and dogs have truly been my passion for as long as I can remember. I share my home with my own three well-socialized, crate-trained dogs and work mostly from home, so your pup will have plenty of attention, company, and care throughout the day. I have a large, fully fenced, pie-shaped yard that’s safe, clean, and perfect for playtime. Dogs in my care are treated like family — they’re welcome to sleep freely in my bedroom with my dogs, have cozy pet beds, and follow a calm, loving routine. If your dog prefers or needs a crate, you’re welcome to bring one, and I’m happy to help with crate time when I step out. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, especially if you feel anxious about their care. My goal is to give you total peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and genuinely having a great time. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am, and one day it’s my retirement dream. For now, I’m thrilled to offer a loving home-away-from-home for your pup. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, feel free to reach out — I’d love to chat! I work 100% remote from home. I just go in and out for meetings and certain scheduling, but I’m rarely out of the house for longer than a few hours. Basically, aside from my job, dogs are my first priority and get the current attention. They need hourly if not minute by minute. I treat others dogs like I treat my own with love, warmth, and caring. I exercise the dogs daily and give them what they need to make sure that they’re tired out and before I ever leave the house for an hour or two if I need to, I make sure that they are let outside and that they’ve done their business so they don’t have to wait for me to get back.
“Manali and her family provided a very loving atmosphere for our dog Beckett. They looked after her like their own . Beckett takes time to adjust to new surroundings but we could tell she came back relaxed and happy . Will definitely be returning to her .”
“Archie loved his days with Brianna. She was fantastic with a 4month old puppy. Archie had plenty of excercise and lots of socializing with other animals. Brianna is also very accommodating with last minute schedule changed and went out of her way to help. 100% would recommend!”
About: Drop ins, walks and more in Mississippi Mills. I can come to yours or bring them to my farm with 100 acres to explore outdoors. Can’t wait to meet your pets! I am a part time worker! I’m available most evenings and weekends. Early mornings and afternoon walks also work for most days of the week! I have room for crating dogs and separating pets if needed. I have a large property away from busy roads but prefer on leash dogs unless trained but can provide a fenced area, swimming pools and walking trails.
“Janna was wonderful with Zoey! She genuinely loves animals and made Zoey feel comfortable around Huey, Nabi, and Choco. Since Zoey is still young, I really appreciated how patient and caring she was. Janna also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind. We'd happily book with her again!”

“Kimberley was amazing with my dog! I loved how she just fit him in with her life during the overnight stay. I know he was well cared for and pampered. I highly recommend Kimberley.”
“Kirstin and Justin really love dogs! It was so nice to have them walk my dogs for me. They sent pictures of the dogs enjoying the walks. Kirstin and Justin are both very friendly and understanding about my hyper, jumpy lab. They have lots of experience with handling dogs and it was so nice to have their help.”
“I would 100% recommend Autumn, she was punctual and provided clear fast communication throughout the drop-in sessions. Autumn fed my dog and gave him plenty of walks (which was impressive as my dog doesn’t normally walk with anyone but myself). I will be using Autumns services again, she was fantastic and made me feel at ease whilst she took care of my dog.”
“Kaela loves dogs! You could tell and dogs love her too. I had no worries eject Kaela was walking Tuck! She took pictures and provided a log of Tuckers walk. All this in just 30 minutes. Fantastic. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you Kaela!”
About: I have always had a dog in my world. Being outside with them, and going on nature walks is the best; along with all the smiles and comfort they bring! No matter the distance, time spent outdoors with a pup always brings so much joy. Unfortunately, within the last year my family hasn’t had a pup around. They both had some health concerns. They were such a joy! That being said, I can’t wait to meet your pup/ dogs! At this time Thursday-Saturday evenings are best for over-nights. Weekends are also a time when I am free. If there were to be additional needed time given, I could potentially be available. I am also available for drop-ins and walks weekdays after 3:00 p.m. I would make sure that they have time to play around outside and then have a nap inside :) more outside time afterwards of course! I would play with them inside and give treats and meals as indicated from owner. With having two labs I understand dietary needs and can aid to those needs as-well.
About: Need me to sing to your dog or cat in order to eat or sleep? No problem! I’ve got you covered and my vocal cords warmed up. I’ve been lucky enough to be trusted to care for pets of family and friends over the course of my life whether it be stopping in for potty breaks, walks, engagement time, or while their paw-rents go on vacation. I feel honoured each time I’m asked; I get as much enjoyment out of it as the pets do! My partner and I share responsibility for our cats as my partner works remotely and I work full time as a nurse. On my off days I spend time cuddling with the kitties or walking/caring for my in-laws pup, Daisy. Currently I am unable to board animals due to limited space, but I’m more than happy to adjust to the needs of your pet in your home. I’m comfortable with crates, cleaning litter boxes, changing pee pads, bathing and grooming, and am open to learn the routines of your pets.
“I’m so grateful for Jocelyn’s flexibility and willingness to accommodate us on short notice. Timon had a wonderful time on his walk and came back happy and well-exercised.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 12 years old. Growing up, I often looked after my neighbours’ cats, dogs, and rabbits while they were away - something i relished, as I wasn't allowed my own pet in the house (excluding fish, which i had many- i took what i could get!). Since moving out I have adopted several cats of my own and have continued to pet sit for friends regularly (both cats and dogs). They know they can always count on me if they need a sitter. :) Caring for animals has always felt like something that comes naturally to me; I love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and little quirks. Most recently, I have cared, on multiple occasions, for three elderly and sick cats. Each has different health needs, medications, and eating schedules, so I made sure to carefully follow their routines and give each one the attention and care they needed. I also provided regular updates to assuage any understandable fears that the parents had. I’m reliable, responsible, and very attentive, and I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I recently moved from Vancouver Island back to my home city of Ottawa and am currently unencumbered by a full-time job. I am available 24/7 for attentive pet care, ranging from walks, feeding and check-ins, to multiple night stays. When caring for your pet in their own home, I want them to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by keeping their usual routine and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to take care of their everyday needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter or bathroom breaks, and administering medications when needed. I’ll take the time to follow any specific instructions you leave me and pay close attention to your pet’s behaviour, making sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe throughout my visit. I also understand that every pet is different, so I’ll adapt to their personality and needs; whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply looking for some extra companionship.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. I'm very patient and love working with animals to ensure that they are comfortable. I work at home during the day from Monday-Friday and care for my Shih tzu throughout each day. I bring her for many walks each day. I am flexible in the care for my clients pets. Based on client recommendation, I can either give their pets their own comfortable space or, if they enjoy the company of people and other dogs, I can slowly introduce them to my dog in a shared space.
“Elizabeth was always punctual She seemed to understand dogs and was patient with Abby when she was reluctant It took Abby a couple of walks before she relaxed but Elizabeth was patient Sorry she cannot do on a consistent On a consistent basis”
About: Available in Gatineau and Ottawa. I have an special connection with stray dogs, I care all dogs like they were mine, that means with my life. I know how to wash them, make them take medicines, special caring, go to walks. I have free weekends and I work only in the afternoons, so my mornings are free. I can mobilize to any place in Ottawa or Gatineau, if necessary In client's homes depend in what the client wants, required and the necessities of the dog. Every dog need to be care in a different mode.
About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them family. Our first dog, Sasha, was adopted four months before I was born and had significant behavioural needs. She was my best friend for thirteen wonderful years, and caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. Since then, my family has had two more dogs, and I’ve gained experience caring for seniors, managing specialized diets, preparing food, and handling unexpected veterinary concerns. Our current dog, Zyler, has canine megaesophagus and requires specialized food preparation and feeding techniques. He’s a lot of work, but he’s also the absolute love of my life! I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and taking the time to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am a full time student. I have 3-5 hours of non-negotiable commitments during the week, but I am a homebody and I can be around constantly outside of synchronous in-person classes. I am free Tuesdays. Saturday’s and Sunday’s without restrictions I care for pets by taking my cues from your animal. Having been a foster volunteer, I am aware of signals and cues and how to respect an animal’s boundaries while caring for their needs. I am the cleanest, most respectful house guest and will leave the place immaculate. I will respect homeowners predefined boundaries while providing as much play and cuddles possible.
About: I have over a year and a half of hands-on experience working at a doggy daycare, and I absolutely loved every minute of it! My role involved supervising dogs throughout the day, making sure they stayed safe, happy, and active. I spent lots of time playing with them, encouraging exercise, and getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I also provided dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care for clients, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs both at home and in new environments. On top of my professional experience, I’ve grown up with large dogs my entire life, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every dog as if they were my own. I recently moved to the area for college, so my schedule is completely open until September. That means I have lots of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule and do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever I can! Since I live in an apartment, I currently provide care in my clients’ homes. I always try to stick to your dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks, play with them outside in a fenced yard or indoors, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I’m also comfortable with dogs who like to cuddle or sleep with someone at night if that’s what they’re used to. I’ll make sure your dog has fresh water, is fed according to your instructions, gets lots of potty breaks, and receives plenty of love and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for until you return.
About: I’ve been watching dogs for 7 years now. I love all types of dogs. But the first dog I ever got close to was a pitbull. He was the first over night dog sit/house sit. I ever did, the couple would travel often due to work. So I would dog sit about 2/3 times a week. I did that for about two years and gained a lot of experience with dogs due to that job. I also find dog walking a great way to stay healthy and active with out it feeling like a work out. I’ve enjoyed dogging sitting ever since I started and don’t plan to stop. So for now that I can’t get a dog of my own. I’ll just watch yours ! Just send me a message and ill send you my number so we can set up a meeting. Price is negotiable. I’m currently a full time student online so I’m looking to make cash while staying active and happy and what a better way than to pet sit. I’ve loved animal since I was a little girl so being around them always brings me joy and as you’ll see they take a liking to me as well. Even the pups you think won’t, always end up loving me as well. I live in a very spacious one bedroom apartment with a balcony alone so they always feel free and nice fresh air. There is a courtyard in my building that is dog friendly and three dog parks near my building as well. So they will always have room to run and be themselves. I am a full time online student so I would be spending my whole day with your pups. They would always be in great care with love and attention. I have a nice courtyard in my building that’s pet friendly and they can play and I also have three dog parks in my area. Where they can run around and meet new pups if allowed I am currently an full time online student so I would be with your pup the whole day. If you’d like to hear my specific daily routine let me know 😊 I usually stick to the routine a parent gives me so they can feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me or if I’m staying in their home.
About: I have taken care of my cat for 10 years. His name is Miles and he the most lovable cat you you will ever meet. I love animals and animals should always be treated with love, care and respect. I have taken care of different type of dogs throughout my life, small to really big dogs. Animals are just like us in a way, all they need is love and attention. Cats and dogs are our babies and its it's importmant to always have a structure in they're everyday life. . When i have other Dogs or Cats I make sure to set timers so they are able to go for walks, use the bathroom, have nap time, play time and always making sure that they are eating food in a timely manner and also food that is good for the them. I live in an Condo where they can have access to the balcony to get fresh air and sun but it is fence so no animals can go over. I also have a cat and he's super very friendly and loves to cuddle. I always take time to play with animals. its very important to give them as much attention as possible. I also play dog or cat shows. Believe it or not some animals love it. I currently work at home so it works perfectly when watching any animals. Also easy for when the owners would want an update on their love ones. I love to play with animals. They are part of us and its important to show affection and love to them. It's important to know your animals and treat them with respect as well as follow how the owners care for them and imply that as well. Making them feel comfortable is important.

“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”
“I honestly don’t even know where to start with how incredible this experience was. I found this dog sitter last minute on Rover, and from the very first message, they went above and beyond in every possible way. I have two very high-energy dogs, and leaving them is never something I take lightly—but she, her husband, and their kids made me feel completely at ease. Not only were they unbelievably accommodating and flexible, but they were also so genuinely kind, warm, and generous. They treated my dogs like part of their family. It wasn’t just “watching” them—they were loved, played with, and cared for in a way that honestly exceeded anything I could have hoped for. Her kids adored my dogs, and it showed in every update and every interaction. What truly stood out was how much they went out of their way to help me. They kept my dogs longer than expected without charging anything extra, just out of kindness. That level of generosity is rare, and it meant so much to me. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your pets—someone who will treat them like their own—I cannot recommend Justin, Kristen and her family enough. I am beyond grateful to have found them. Thank you again for everything—you are truly amazing. ❤️”
About: We're in the process of opening a kennel on our 27 acre homestead, until then, we're here on Rover! Let us give your pets an enriching experience while you're away, and you peace of mind that they are in not one but two sets of good hands. Our dog Styx loves all pets, big and small, but we also have experience and infrastructure for some personal space if your pet takes a little longer to warm up or has special needs. We are currently building a kennel on our wooded retreat, and in the meantime, our home is open! We are home full-time and spend our days outside tending to the property, bringing your pets along, with lots of water and indoor breaks. We have a fenced yard and the house is able to be segmented off depending on the needs (puppy pen, cat area with dogs, cat area dog free, day crated, whatever your comfort is.
“A+, Janice and Rene are super nice and friendly. They are experienced dog sitters, and I felt totally comfortable leaving my older dog with them. They kept me regularly updated with messages and pictures. I will use their service again and I strongly recommend them”
“What a great family experience for our fur baby! We were so happy about the experience from the word go. We would not hesitate to bring our girl back for more time with Meghan and John and family!”
“Emily & Alison and their family were super responsible and friendly with Liuliu! They ensured I could receive daily updates and that she got lots of exercise during her first stay at theirs. She looked happy in the photos, already felt welcomed, and made herself at home. Definitely would like to book with them again!”
“Thank you for having Bosco and Chloe 🙏 …again! It is always so nice to keep in touch when they are with you. We love the updates and pictures of them having the best time with their friends! Thank you also for tending to Boss with such care when he needed it 🫶”
“Rodrigo was amazing and we felt very comfortable leaving our Winston with him and his family. We recieved regular updates and really awesome photos, which were super appreciated. He and his family clearly care a lot about dogs and are experienced in taking care of them. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Winston with Rodrigo again 🙂”
“Susana was great with Nugget- very consistent communication throughout the stay. She was very patient with him as he adjusted to a new location. You can tell their whole family loves having pups in their care.”
“Mylo has stayed at Lindsay's twice now, and both times it seems like he's having the best time! Lindsay provides regular updates, and she is extremely responsive if you reach out to her. She is organized, energetic, knowledgable, and accommodating. And her whole family is great with dogs. I would recommend Lindsay to anyone.”
“First time using Rover.com, and Mitchell and Jess are great, very friendly and very responsive. They were able to help me out with an urgent booking request after my original sitter canceled last minute. They care about animals. My dog had a great time at their pet friendly home. I was kept updated with how my dog was doing with messages and pictures regularly. Would gladly ask for their services again in the future.”
“Alaina was always quick to respond to messages and easy to coordinate a meet up as well as drop off/pick up times. I knew Aldo was in great hands and welcomed fully into her home. He didn’t want to leave! Definitely recommend Alaina as a pet sitter and will board my dog with her again!”
About: I’ve had tons of different animals growing up. Recently had to euthanize my 15 year old family boarder collie. Also an English bull dog who passed away at two due to breathing issues. I miss having a dog around, however am not ready to adopt my own just yet. Would love to have them over here and there. I Absolutely adore dogs! I currently work from home so I am always here to take care and love your animal! Will walk, feed, cuddle them and if permitted, take them where me and my family go, weather it’s a walk to the park or beach! We will love and care for your pet as our own. We have a backyard for them to pee/poo as well as a pool if they can swim. Will go on walks! I have two children who adore animals who are very gentle so we will all be spending lots of time together. Dog must be kid friendly though.
“Excellent services from Veronica! Very kind and caring person, took amazing care of Pekoe, our one-eyed four-toothed rescue dog! We got a daily update and photo while we were out of the country to show our perpetually sleeping potato was happy and healthy!! It really eased our minds and hearts while we were away! Pekoe is a timid little creature that does not care for most people, usually keeping her distance and sleeping in her box, but was quickly accepting of Veronica, sleeping with her on the couch and overnight! It was quite amazing to see, and brought us great ease!”
“Kirat was super responsive and helped us with a last minute boarding request. Not only did she help on short notice, she was WONDERFUL with Sadie. The kids loved following along with her stay through photo’s and instagram posts and it was awesome to follow along. Kirat genuinely cared for Sadie like she was her own. Kirat will be the first place we look for boarding going forward. I cant recommend her enough!”
“Madeleine did a perfect job with Oliver. She was mindful of his mature needs and personality. He appreciated having all their attention and would happily return in the future.”
About: I have had 3 rescue dogs over the last 26 years, ranging in age from a puppy to rescuing a 3 year old Malamute. I care for all my pets for their whole lives with me. I work from home and can spend as much time as needed with each dog, they can spend time in my office when I am working. I have a completely fenced in backyard and I am close to several walking paths and a dog friendly park for playing. Playing in my house is also an option for those rainy days.
“Couldn't be happier with how Olga and family took care of Tuffy. She was happy and comfortable. Olga kept sending updates and lots of photos. Great communication and easy to coordinate.”
