“Amanda was very friendly and responsive, she sent daily updates about Tiffany. She was well taken care of and looked very happy when I came to pick her up. I will definitely recommend booking with them. Thank you Amanda & Bryan for taking good care of Tiffany while I was away.”
“Deb and Eric are incredibly welcoming, flexible and friendly! We quickly received updates, and our dog felt right at home from the moment we dropped them off. Their house is a perfect set up in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard. Their daughters did great with Quito as well. We already have Quito’s next stay booked with Deb and Eric!”
“Anna was incredibly responsive, caring and diligent during our time away. She sent daily updates and videos and responded to any messages immediately. She dealt with our dogs needs for special eye drops, his first stay away from home and provided insightful feedback. Thank you Anna.”

“I would 100% recommend Cyndy P.

Everyday she sent us picture and news! For sure Mel will be back in Karen’s house because I really feel peaceful and safe with her care! Thank you Karen and family!”
“As always Bob & Skip are very helpful and accommodating for drop off and pick up times. Great photos and updates. Jersey always gets the best care. Thank you”
“Lise is amazing. She was able to accommodate us on short notice which we greatly appreciated. Sent messages, pics, and updates every day! Lise clearly loves dogs and knows what she is doing. A real blessing to not worry about Mylee so we could enjoy our trip! A lovely experience start to finish. ❤️”
“Bruno stayed with Megan for a month, and I couldn’t recommend Megan enough. I was stressed about leaving him for a month, but Megan made the whole experience completely stress-free, and I never had to worry at all. They regularly sent me pictures and updates. Bruno also became best friends with their dog, Ella, who is so sweet hearted, which made his stay even better. Their family was lovely as well, and they treated him as part of the family. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I’m so glad to know Bruno has a second home. I will definitely book again if we go on another trip or if something comes up. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“Maggie and her husband took very good care of our dog Rosie while we were gone! They made her feel at home and gave her lots of love! I would recommend Maggie and her husband to anyone :)”
“May and Family are truly exceptional. When my flight was canceled due to the Air Canada strike, I was suddenly stuck and scrambling—but May stepped in like a guardian angel. One of my dogs had just come out of surgery a couple weeks earlier and was on a complicated medication schedule, and she handled it all with absolute care and precision. Not only did she make sure both my dogs were safe, comfortable, and well cared for, but she also sent me daily pictures that brought so much peace of mind. Seeing their happy faces while I was stranded was everything. Her hopeful attitude and calm presence turned a stressful situation into something manageable—and even heartwarming. May doesn’t just walk dogs—she shows up for them (and their humans) in every way that matters. I’m endlessly grateful and couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Diana - thank you so much for taking such great care of Gibby! He clearly enjoyed his stay :) I so appreciated all the updates and pictures and how you took the time to listen to Gibby’s daily routine. He will definitely be back for a future visit.”
“They were truly amazing with our 2 dogs providing pictures and updates every day so we felt reassured while on our trip. excellent dog hosts and you won’t be disappointed if you use them.”
“Koji and Diane were great pet sitters that took great care in making Bella comfortable and safe. They were very accommodating with Bella while she dealt with recovering from a cut on her ear and had to wear a cone and administered ear drops without hesitation.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Manvi for our dog! From day one, it felt like we were leaving him with a trusted family member. Manvi treated him like her own, showing genuine care and affection. We loved getting frequent updates with lots of pictures and videos of their walks and playtime—it completely put our minds at ease. He absolutely loved his stay, and we will definitely be booking with Manvi again.”
“Dear Peter, Lilian and all the family thank you very much for being a family for my dog Molly 💖 while I was in a trip. My dog is very specific and do not allow pet her to the people. But she was happy to stay in Peters family. Peter sent me lots of photos during the day. I am happy to find this amazing, friendly family. Now I now on 200% that I found great friends 💖 Thanks 🤩”
“Barbara took excellent care of Pepper with long walks, cuddles and time to be off leash in her backyard (which he loves but seldom gets as our yard isn’t fenced.) She sent us regular pictures, too. Barbara has a quiet, loving manner and I would highly recommend her as a caregiver for your fur baby. Thank you, Barbara.”
“Jeff took our Viszla into his home for over a week during the holiday season and gave him all the care and love he needed. We got regular photos and updates to show us how he was doing and Jeff made us feel comforted and secure that he was being cared for as if at home. Jeff is flexible with his arrangements and communicates really well - we will definitely use him again!”
“Christine is such an amazing caregiver! Loompa loved staying there and had fun with her 2 fur babies. She made sure to update us every day with his activities and with lots of pictures. Therefore we had a stressfree trip. We would definitely rebook for future. Thank you!”

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Lorraine to pet sit my two cats, Leia and Fiona, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very beginning, Lorraine impressed me with her promptness and openness. She was incredibly responsive to my initial inquiry and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Lorraine’s years of experience and extensive knowledge with animals were immediately apparent. She handled Leia and Fiona with such care and expertise, making sure they were comfortable and happy throughout her visits. Her kindness and bubbly personality shone through in every interaction, and it was clear that she genuinely loves what she does. One of the highlights of having Lorraine as a pet sitter was the many picture updates she provided. Every day, I received adorable photos of Leia and Fiona, along with detailed reviews of each visit. Lorraine’s updates were so thorough and reassuring, giving me peace of mind while I was away. Overall, Lorraine is an exceptional pet sitter. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication to her work make her the best choice for anyone in need of pet care. Leia and Fiona were in excellent hands with Lorraine, and I will definitely be reaching out to her for all my future pet sitting needs!”
“Emily has been an incredible sitter and we’re so grateful to have her as our repeat sitter. She’s reliable, caring, and truly understands cats—their routines, personalities, and quirks. Every time we’re away, we have complete peace of mind knowing our cats are in safe, loving hands. She keeps us updated, follows instructions perfectly, and our cats are always happy and relaxed when we return. Highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“This is the second time Caroline has taken care of our Lulo, not only she is trustworthy but also truly cares about his wellbeing. Lulo was not eating the wet food we left him and she went the extra-mile and got him some other food! For our next vacation, we know who to ask 😻!”
“Julie took great care of our fur babies. She sent lots of pictures and gave us regular updates on how they were doing. Our cats don’t normally warm up to strangers so quickly but they were instantly comfortable with Julie. Really grateful for her care of them.”
“I can’t say exactly say why, but I’ve had terrible experiences with finding a reliable sitter that Lucy and I both liked, until now. I was leaving for the Caribbean and needed a reliable caregiver for Lucy that I could trust. Will was and is fantastic. We booked him for this weekend too and again it went seamlessly. There was something that went wrong in my home and I’m so grateful that Will handled it perfectly. Most importantly, he took really great care of Lucy and our home!”
“Great communication! Meredith is lovely and truly cared about my cat. I was anxious about leaving her all by herself but I needn't have worried. I got lots of updates and pictures/videos. Everything was perfect when I got home from my vacation. So appreciate you.”
About: Before moving to Canada, I cared for two cats in my home country, Ukraine, for about 2 years. During that time I was responsible for feeding them, grooming, brushing their fur, and keeping them clean and comfortable. I also made sure they had playtime, attention, and a calm environment. Taking care of them taught me how to understand cats’ personalities and respect their space while still giving them love and proper care.
“Leanne was so great with our 2 cats. Not only did she make sure all the ‘technical’ requirements were looked after every day she spent time just showing them love and affection which is exactly what we hoped for. She made our vacation worry free knowing she was looking after Carson and Gracie. I appreciated the daily updates and cuddling photos! Will definitely rebook and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for most of my life. Growing up my family has had dogs, cats, bunnies, fish and even a cockatiel. I’ve house sat and dog sat multiple times and come away with a new best friend each time. I work full time from home during the week on a fully flexible schedule. I can essentially take breaks from work whenever I need throughout the day to attend to any errands or responsibilities on my schedule, pet care included. I am generally pretty free in the evenings & weekends. I am a young, agile and strong pet lover who can adapt to the animal I am with. For bigger more domineering animals I am comfortable taking care of them & for more docile pet I can be a delicate gentle teddy bear as well!
“I had the pleasure of entrusting my feline companions to Rachel recently, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Rachel demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, reliability, and genuine affection for my cats. Their punctuality and open communication provided me with peace of mind, and I could tell that my pets were not just cared for but also enjoyed their time under Rachel's attentive watch. The extra effort, including personalized touches and a clear passion for animals, sets Rachel apart as a standout cat sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring companion for their beloved feline friends.”

“Emily is amazing! She is super friendly with a lovely, sparkling personality. She has experience with older cats. My cat, Dipsy, is 16 and Emily took great care in following my care instructions. She stayed the whole week in our home, caring for Dipsy when we went on vacation. Dipsy warmed up quickly to Emily. He can be a picky eater, but he ate happily under Emily's gentle care.”
“Richelle was very professional and diligent - she took care of my kitten at the same time every day and provided him with lots of entertainment. I would not hesitate using Richelle again.”
“I just started with Emily and she has been great so far . It didn’t take long for my 2 small dogs to warm up to her . She has a very kind and gentle personality She communicates well and provides me with a detailed summary after she has been with my dogs . I will definitely book her again.”
“Even though Oreo is not very friendly at first, Christie was very good with him. We were away for only 2 days and regardless of the snow storm, Christie made it home to give him his food and treats. We are very pleased and appreciative of Christie time and availability. Thanks Christie!!!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and a cat and have spent years caring for pets in my own home! I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and keeping pets safe and happy. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them like my own! I am currently looking for a part-time position for the summer, so I will have flexible dedicated time for your pets! I am available weekdays and weekends. I prioritize safety, and clear communication, and compassion when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I’ll follow all routines closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions. I keep the environment clean, secure, and stress-free, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive to behaviour and needs, and I provide regular updates and pictures so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands!
About: I am e-collar trained for dogs which is a unique skill. I come from “dog people” and am said to be a dog whisperer. I have 2 dogs, both poodle/doodle mixes under 24 pounds each. I work from home most days and would plan my boarding accordingly. I am often the friend/family boarding spot. I believe in crates for dogs who need it or are trained that way and for many dogs it’s the safest for them when alone both physically and emotionally. I have one dog (rescue) who eats and sleeps in his crate and another who sleeps sideways across the bed. I no longer have cats but have also grown up with them and can do in home visits. I currently work mostly from home. If you are stuck deciding to do that dinner with a friend or in traffic - just message me, I will run over and take care of your pets potty and meals. If you want your dog to stay at home with others but need drop in or a walk, I’m happy to do that too. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. There is plenty of play, hugs and cuddles for your fur baby. I have plenty of room too if your fur baby likes to be in their own space.
“Susan's care of Indie was spot on!.....She met with Indie 2X per day, sent me pictures, and kept me updated the entire time. I enjoyed meeting and chatting with Sue, and appreciate her care of the 4 legged baby! Will definitely book Sue again!”

“Melanie was so amazing with our 9 month old puppy honey! We were in a pinch to find someone and she was so understanding! Honey was so spoiled with her!! We will book again soon!”
“Lise has cared for Willow twice now, for day time visits. The second time, Willow ran into Lise’s home with her tail wagging and didn’t even look back to say bye to mom. Lise’s dogs, Carter and Zoey are very friendly and welcoming. Willow is comfortable staying with Lise and her family. She is really happy there. Their home is clean, spacious and warm. Lise and her husband are caring, warm people and are excellent with dogs. I love the pictures she sends. We will not hesitate to leave Willow with them for longer visits in the future.”
“Monica and her partner are the best! They were able to accommodate our last minute request and were very reliable. They provided lots of pictures and updates. Obi, their dog is super cute and playful and our dog Mickey had a blast with them. Would definitely recommend these two and would be very comfortable leaving Mickey with them again!”
About: Our family love all pets, and our little husky is very calm and loves playing around with all breeds. I've grown with dogs and other kinds of pets all my life, back in Mexico, friends and family would trust their furry friends with us. Not a professional groomer or anything but have raised, trained and cared for many, I used to go help our vet, when I wanted to be one as a kid. I work from home, so I’m around most of the day to give your pup plenty of attention. Our husky, Blue, is my walking buddy—we usually go on a couple of walks a day, and she also enjoys hanging out in the backyard or napping on the couch. If you’re comfortable with it, I’m happy to take your dog along to the dog park, just like I do for Blue. I can give oral medications if needed and will always keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible. I typically go on 2–3 walks a day and have plenty of time for play breaks, backyard time, or just keeping your pup company. My daughter has a few activities during the week, but there’s always someone home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. Feeding times can be adjusted to match your dog’s routine, though I usually feed Blue twice a day. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Our home is dog-friendly, with a fenced backyard where pups can play and explore securely. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax on the couch or find a cozy spot of their own. I always keep an eye on interactions to make sure everyone feels safe and happy. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions carefully—whether that means sticking to a strict schedule, avoiding certain foods, or keeping walks calm and controlled. You can trust that your dog will be treated like part of the family here.
“Candy and James were lovely and took such great care of our pup. They kept us updated and sent great pictures to show all the fun he was having. They accommodated a very last minute request and were very accommodating to extend the pick up time. Definitely recommend.”
About: Since I was a child I have always had at least 1 dog in my home! As a work from home mom, I am able to provide all the the care and attention your dog may need. We are a family that absolutely loves dogs and there is no doubt your dog will receive a loving environment whilst with us. I am currently working part-time from home and so am able to give your pup the attention it needs during the day and go out for regular walks. I live in a townhouse with a fully fenced in back yard and have a friendly 4 year old cockapoo who will keep your pup company. I am happy to be flexible when it comes to the sleeping arrangement of each pup, if you would prefer me to crate your dog at night, I will gladly do that.

“I'm planning on traveling and was looking for boarding option to my pomeranian when I met Manvi. She was very accommodating to me and Wall-E to make sure I will be comfortable leaving my fur baby with her and my dog to feel welcomed . We first did a meet and great. Then on another day we tried a day care for half day. She was communicating and kept giving me updates on how is he doing. Ssince this is new to me, I appreciate it that. Next hopefully we can try an overnight option to see if they both comfortable with longer period. I definitely recommend her for your dog setting needs .”
About: I have never lived in a home without a dog. Since I was a baby I’ve been on the floor playing with a dog every day of my life. The dogs in my life gave me so much growing up and now I’d like to return the favour not just to my own dog but to as many as I can. I show dogs all the love and respect in the world, and honour each unique personality and their preferences. For years I have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family so I thought it time to extend the love further! I am currently a stay-at-home mom so I am home with my dog for most of the day every day. My kiddos now attend kindergarten and daycare so your pet will have my undivided attention during working hours and get extra love from kids who have never known a home without a dog in the afternoons & evenings. I make time for play, walks, & snuggles every day. The dogs need these things just as much as the kiddos do! Happy to feed & walk based on your individual requests. I have experience weighing raw dog food and incorporating medications and supplements as needed. We personally brush our dogs teeth so if that is something you would like us to upkeep, I am happy to do that as well.
“Anne was absolutely wonderful to deal with. She watched our rambunctious puppy during the day and our pup came home good and sleepy! Luna can’t wait to go back again!”
“Lihua and Haoshu were so thoughtful in their care of our dog, from tailoring the meet and greet, to sending video updates, just an all-round terrific experience for us and for our dog!”
“May is truly a gem! She took such great care of Pennie and sent photos and videos with updates all day long (even training videos which we loved watching!). Pennie came home a very happy and tired pup from all the attention, cuddles and walks. We will definitely be booking with May again. Thank you!! :)”
“Juneau had a great morning with Gary and Jill. Buddy and Juneau were great friends playing out in the backyard most of the time. This made for one tired puppy!!! I was glad the dogs got along well and I am looking forward to more visits in the future. Thanks again!”

About: I'm finally making my return to Rover! And bringing back much more experience, knowledge, and skills. 🙋🏻♀️ For the past few years, I have trained and boarded a variety of dogs - most of them being rescues. ❤️ When I first signed up to be a foster paw-rent, I dove into the deep end in order to be ready to receive a new dog and provide the best care and home for him. Our first foster dog ended up have a whole host of behavioural issues that really helped us learn how to deal with dogs that may need a little extra attention. I have very valuable experience with reactive dogs that also deal with separation anxiety. Also, my former roommate and I rescued a pup who now is full time with her (I moved into my own house) and even has her own kids book series! (Penny Tries to Boil the Ocean) I am an active individual and enjoy going on adventures! I will protect your dog from anyone and anything so your furry friend will be safe with me and will also feel loved and have lots of fun! I used to be a former lifeguard/swim instructor so if your dog loves to swim, we're meant to be! :) My partner is a paramedic and when he's not at work, he loves to partake in the walking/training/entertainment. I am also flexible so you never have to feel stressed when working with me. I am quick to answer in case you need to reach me. I am against littering so rest assured that I will be a good poop-picker-upper! PS, if you want a mini-photoshoot of your dog while you're at work/away, I'm your person. If you have any questions or want to jump on a phone call, just send me a message. I hope to meet you and your furry baby soon! I'm in tech and work full-time at my home office. It also gives me flexibility so for the most part, I can accommodate different schedules whether if it's for pickup/drop off or for your dog's routine. I live in a lovely neighbourhood and am in a house that is dog-friendly with a small backyard. We have a cat at home, who only gets along with dogs.
“Emily has been amazing so far walking my dog and dropping in to check on my cat. I have a very busy work schedule that changes from day to day and Emily has been extremely flexible and accommodating to all my needs. Not to mention she takes the CUTEST pictures of my dog who always looks so happy to be hanging out with her. Highly recommend her 😊”
“Caroline was wonderful - she sent pictures and comments of every walk, and Minnie loves her! Minnie waited at the door for her to come for her walk the first night I was back home. I will certainly ask Caroline the next time we need a walker!”
“This was our first time using Rover and it couldn’t have been smoother. Lorraine was very responsive and reassuring. We were kept abreast of her entire interaction with Jasper including photos of the walk and details of their time spent together. We would highly recommend Lorraine and know we won’t hesitate to use her in the future.”

I’m especially good at adapting to different energy levels and I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and someone pet owners can trust with their furry family members. I currently have open availability throughout most weekdays during the daytime. This gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they need. In the evenings, I am generally unavailable after 6 PM. Weekend availability can vary depending on my schedule, but I’m always happy to communicate and coordinate in advance to see what works best. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. For drop-ins and walks, I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding, water, medications, exercise needs, and any behavioral preferences. Safety is very important to me, so I make sure pets are always secure during walks and monitored closely at all times. I also respect clients’ homes by keeping everything tidy, and provide regular updates and photos upon request so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for :)
“Mark our dog, Charlie. I booked him last minute and he was extremely accommodating and helpful, providing me with lots of details and a photo. Would definitely recommend and will use again. Thanks, Mark.”
About: My love for animals led me to start my own rescue, and I’ve been immersed in the rescue world for over 13 years. Along the way, I’ve also had the privilege of pet sitting for many wonderful clients and their beloved furbabies. *I’m certified by the Canadian Red Cross for First Aid for cats and dogs* I’ve experienced just about every aspect of animal care—from helping train puppies and walking dogs to supporting pregnant mama cats through birth to administering medication and even tube feeding dogs and cats recovering from surgery. My experience and knowledge have given me a deep understanding of how to provide personalized, attentive, and compassionate care—especially when pets need it most. And I truly believe a tired puppy is a happy puppy! I take great care in getting to know everything about your furbaby, whether they are big or small, to make sure they are cared for and pampered. It would truly be my pleasure to care for your pets as if they were my own while you’re away, keeping you in the loop every step of the way! I’m dedicating myself to pet sitting on a full-time basis, so pet care is my top priority in my daily routine. This allows me to be flexible and fully present for each pet’s needs—whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feedings, or simply providing companionship and comfort throughout the day. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, routine, and plenty of love while their owners are away. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any specific care needs, so your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m very attentive to behavior and will keep an eye out for any changes in appetite, energy, or health. I also respect your home as if it were my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away
About: I have taken care of my own pets (2 cats and 1 dog) for over ten years, and can bathe, feed, walk, play with, and help train pets. I have spent lots of time helping family friends with dogs that struggle eating, have sensitive skin, are hyperactive, and seniors. I also have experience working in an animal hospital for 2 years, with all kinds of dog and cat breeds. Working at the animal hospital taught me patience with animals and skills to take care of them properly (as well as information about different animals, breeds, and their health). Additionally, i have a summer job at a pet groomers, which has taught me a lot about pet care, discipline, and how to manage aggression. I treat all animals with love and respect, and work on building a trusting relationship between myself and the animal. I’m currently a full time university student, so I need to have access to a flexible work schedule as my courses and workload vary throughout the year. In your home, I will spend the duration of my time playing with and taking care of your pets needs, however that may be required. As I live with 4 other roommates, any of them are willing to help if more than one person is needed for any specific pet care needs.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes for as long as I can remember. With two years of hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic, I’ve gained valuable skills in animal care and health. I truly love working with pets and treat every one like family! I am a University student and I am fairly busy with classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays but am flexible on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Weekends! I have a fenced-in yard and loads of treats for your pups! I have many toys and lots of yard space for fetch, and running around!

“Amanda was very friendly and responsive, she sent daily updates about Tiffany. She was well taken care of and looked very happy when I came to pick her up. I will definitely recommend booking with them. Thank you Amanda & Bryan for taking good care of Tiffany while I was away.”
“Deb and Eric are incredibly welcoming, flexible and friendly! We quickly received updates, and our dog felt right at home from the moment we dropped them off.

“Bruno stayed with Megan for a month, and I couldn’t recommend Megan enough. I was stressed about leaving him for a month, but Megan made the whole experience completely stress-free, and I never had to worry at all. They regularly sent me pictures and updates. Bruno also became best friends with their dog, Ella, who is so sweet hearted, which made his stay even better. Their family was lovely as well, and they treated him as part of the family. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I’m so glad to know Bruno has a second home. I will definitely book again if we go on another trip or if something comes up. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”

He absolutely loved his stay, and we will definitely be booking with Manvi again.”

Jeff is flexible with his arrangements and communicates really well - we will definitely use him again!”

About: Our family love all pets, and our little husky is very calm and loves playing around with all breeds. I've grown with dogs and other kinds of pets all my life, back in Mexico, friends and family would trust their furry friends with us. Not a professional groomer or anything but have raised, trained and cared for many, I used to go help our vet, when I wanted to be one as a kid. I work from home, so I’m around most of the day to give your pup plenty of attention. Our husky, Blue, is my walking buddy—we usually go on a couple of walks a day, and she also enjoys hanging out in the backyard or napping on the couch. If you’re comfortable with it, I’m happy to take your dog along to the dog park, just like I do for Blue. I can give oral medications if needed and will always keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible. I typically go on 2–3 walks a day and have plenty of time for play breaks, backyard time, or just keeping your pup company. My daughter has a few activities during the week, but there’s always someone home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. Feeding times can be adjusted to match your dog’s routine, though I usually feed Blue twice a day. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Our home is dog-friendly, with a fenced backyard where pups can play and explore securely. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax on the couch or find a cozy spot of their own. I always keep an eye on interactions to make sure everyone feels safe and happy. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions carefully—whether that means sticking to a strict schedule, avoiding certain foods, or keeping walks calm and controlled. You can trust that your dog will be treated like part of the family here.
“Harley had a wonderful time with Irene! It was our first time boarding Harley overnight and we couldn't be happier with Irene. We love that she only takes one dog at a time and is able to devote so much time and attention to him. He's a bundle of energy and always wants to play and Irene was wonderful with him. She's also very relaxed and easy with him being on the couch and the bed which is great. Irene took amazing care of Harley and he'll definitely be staying with her again in the future!”
“This is the third time Hawker has stayed with Aliza and I will definitely always have Aliza as my go-to dog sitter. He is well cared for, excited to go and she always sends photos and videos while he’s with her to share what he’s up to and how he’s doing. I would definitely recommend Aliza if you are looking for a quality, caring place for your furry friend.”
“Daria was amazing, she looked after my 16 year old yorkie for three weeks this summer. Everyday she would provide an update and send pictures of him; he always looked so happy 😁!! She treated him really well and was professional in her communication and care. She went above and beyond to take care of him, especially given his older age. She made him feel comfortable and I would highly recommend Daria!”
“Rie and Masahiro were wonderful. Our doggies got the royal treatment, just like they do when they're with us. I'm sure Sirius and Mitzi miss them already, but we'll see them again for a trip in June, and we're very much looking forward to that.”
“Meredith was able to take my girl last minute over the holidays and she was incredibly pampered. It’s always a good sign when she immediately falls asleep when getting home. Thank you Meredith!”
