“Katherine is absolutely incredible, from the first time you meet her and her adorable daughter you can see how much they absolutely adore animals! I was constantly updated about rozie and the pictures and videos were absolutely heartwarming. Rozie can’t wait to go back to this incredible house with some incredible people. Do your animal a favour and see if you’ll be lucky enough for Katherine to look after your animal.”
“Heather was 10/10 during the whole process. It was our first time user rover and she made everything seem so flawless! She constantly sent photos and updates and when there was a change of plans, Heather didn’t hesitate! I will definitely be booking my girly with her again!”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Jillian was amazing, lots of updates and pictures which made us feel at ease while away. Bobby and Lloyd were happy and relaxed when I picked them up. Def. Would recommend Jillian and I would leave Bobby and Lloyld with her again.”

“Wow! Cindy and her family cared for Madigan like she was family-- I think she misses them already! Our Maddie stayed for two weeks, and Cindy sent us lots of pics and kept us up to date with the fun they were having. Everything was perfect from our end. Highly recommended!!”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Anne while she cared for our dog, Wilson, during our vacation. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent and she made us feel completely at ease. During the pre-stay meet and greet, it was clear how comfortable Wilson felt with her—and that carried through the entire stay. Anne sent us daily pictures and videos, which not only reassured us but also showed how happy and well-cared-for Wilson was. She is so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring—it honestly felt like Wilson was on his own vacation! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely trust Anne with Wilson again in the future.”
“Angi is such a wonderful attention to our family! She was attentive to our senior girls needs and they settled in so nicely. Angi sent us a picture overnight as well. Highly recommend Angi.”
“Aditya and Ipshita were great with my dog. They were very professional and kept be updated on his day of fun with them. They truly do love dogs and that is shown in the care they take to make sure they are well taken cared of.”
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”
“Melanie is fabulous! Our four pups had never been boarded before staying with Melanie, and we are extremely hesitant to ever leave them with anyone other than a family member. However, when our daughter got married this past weekend we had no choice but to find someone to care for them. Melanie’s profile caught my eye immediately so I reached out and she responded quickly. Her communication was always prompt, and we loved receiving photos of our babies lounging at her house during their stay. They looked very happy, content and relaxed. We will definitely use her services again in the future. She is professional, kind, gentle, welcoming and a true dog lover! I highly recommend her. Thank you for your wonderful care of our furbabies, Melanie! 🐶🐶🐶🐶”
“Sheila is awesome and very responsive. She was great with my Golden Retriever, Mabel. She sent regular updates and photos. Mabel got personalized attention and slept on the bed at night. Sheila also took some fabulous photos of Mabel that are of photography studio quality.”

“Ellie is very kind and accommodating! My cat Sophie can be a bit shy when meeting new people but she has been very patient as Sophie gets to know her. I will be continuing services in the future. Thanks again!”
“Lorna was lovely with our two ragdoll cats. She is professional, punctual and gave us great updates while we were away. She was in tune with our pets needs, and took great care of them. It’s so hard to leave pets at home, and Lorna helped to take the stress out of being away.”
“Chelsea looked after my two cats for a week. She came in twice a day for the usual -- food, water, litter, cleaning, play -- and stayed 30 minutes each time. After each visit, I received several photos as well as the written report which made me feel very secure that they were being well cared for. Chelsea also shovelled my walk for my return as it was quite snowy and late when I got back. I really appreciate her reliability, responsiveness, and consideration and above all, that she cared for my cats like they were her own.”

I am a passionate animal lover with extensive experience, volunteering regularly at the Georgian Triangle Humane Society, where I have also had the joy of fostering many cats and dogs.

Safety, reliability, and cuddles are always my top priorities! Let's chat about your pet's needs!
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for cats and experience caring for them at every stage of life. I’m attentive to the little details - like giving medications on time, keeping litter boxes fresh and clean, and noticing subtle changes in behavior that others might miss. I know how to earn the trust of shy or senior cats and keep playful ones entertained and safe. My goal is always to make sure your feline feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Kristie was wonderful with our cats. They were comfortable with her right from the first meeting. Kristie responded quickly to messages and questions and sent updates and photos with each visit.”
About: I am a lover of all dogs, have plenty experience dog sitting for friends and family. I am thinking about getting a dog of my own so I thought this was a great place to start and help out those in need. I find most I spend a lot of my time in the city pointing out cute pups and when I discovered this app and thought it would be a great way to combine my love for walking and dogs. I like to walk along the Harbourfront so having a little companion would make it more fun! I am available for dog walks, dog boarding and home visits. I work 4 days a week in an office and one day from home so I would be available to dog sit during a weekday at least once a week. Dogs are family and I would give the best care and love they deserve!

About: I have been a dog owner since the time I was born. My dogs have always been my dear friends, some who have needed a lot of care and special attention. After I moved out, I continued to pet-sit for my parents dash-hound until recently when he crossed over the rainbow bridge. I am experiencing pet-fever but am waiting to be a little bit more settled before adding a furry friend to my family. I am excited to share some of the love with your best friend!

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, along with professional experience working in veterinary clinics. I’m currently studying to become a Veterinary Technician, which has given me strong skills in handling pets safely, administering medications, and recognizing signs of illness or discomfort. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and anxious or reactive dogs. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, and treat them like my own. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away 🐾 I work at a veterinary clinic three days a week, which gives me great hands-on experience, and I have a flexible schedule outside of that to ensure your pets get the time, attention, and care they deserve. I take every precaution to ensure your animals are in a safe, secure environment. From understanding their specific needs and behaviors to creating a hazard-free space, I make sure they are comfortable and protected. I use proper equipment, supervise interactions, and maintain open communication to keep you informed about your pet’s well-being at all times. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority.
About: I have had a dog of my own for 12 years, before owning my dog I pet sat multiple animals from a young age through family and friends. I have been pet sitting through Rover since November 2018, I have watched a variety of breeds and ages with different personalities through doggy day care, at home boarding, house visits, and the occasional dog walk. Responsible for walking, feeding, potty breaks, providing medications if needed and depending on the age - maintaining the training plan.. and of course giving them all of the attention they need! I have a full time job where I work 8:30am to 5pm Monday through Friday, my early morning and evening would be dedicated to pet care. I typically like to visit the home before hand to be shown everything necessary to care for your animal in the way that they will be most comfortable with me being in their home, and to ensure their routine remains relatively the same as what they are used to. I like to provide clients with frequent updates with pictures and videos.
“Ashley was absolutely excellent in looking after our cat Gracie! She came round for a house visit and was very diligent in ensuring she had all the info she needed to do a great. Gracie did have some medical issues and Ashley was awesome at giving meds and checking in with us frequently. Would highly recommend!! We got on so well Ashley will be coming back to house sit and pet sit this summer!”
About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder. Dogs have always been a passion of mine! I will treat your dogs just like my own.. lots of TLC 🥰 I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally. We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will need to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.
“Sara and Cody are incredible people who took amazing care of my fur baby. Charlotte was very well cared for, and Sara truly went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, comfortable, and loved. I couldn't have asked for better care, and I highly recommend them!”
About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 7, with a deep love and focus on cats.

My lifelong experience with cats and hands-on knowledge in baby and senior care set me apart. I also own two cats, Cooper, a young boy, and Rue, an older female.

“We are very pleased with Ember’s day with Michelle. She came home happy and tired; Michelle kept us updated throughout the day and sent photos. Ember’s first experience with doggie daycare was a very positive one.”
“First time leaving my dog for daycare and I was instantly relieved and reassured she is in good hands! She was walked and played with her new friend and was tired and cuddle when she came home with me after her long day!”
“My experience with Richard was great! He was available last minute for my girls. He updated me a lot and thats always amazing. Ill be happy to have him watch my girls again :)”
“We were so happy to have found Jill to watch our dog while we were visiting from out of town . She was a short drive from the village and was flexible with drop off and pick up time , allowing us to explore and enjoy blue mountain and pick up after dinner. She was easy to communicate/coordinate with and was able to accommodate a last minute request to add my brother’s dog to our booking. Thankful to have found a safe and fun place for the dogs to spend their days. They both had a great time.”

“Angi was fantastic with Indie, we dropped him off in the morning and picked him up in the evening so we could go for a ski. He came out with his tag a wagging :). Very grateful for your service Angi! Thanks again.”
About: Our names are Kristin & Bora. We both adore dogs.... hypoallergenic breeds/mix only, because of allergies. We are both retired at an earlier age. We take the pups on a long morning walk in the forest and we go for an evening walk together. We have a fully fenced yard for outdoor play between walks. After we lost our "puppy" of 11 years, we got another little fur ball that is now 5 years old. We then added a friend for her that is now 2 years old. We offer our home to provide your dog a welcoming and safe place where they feel loved with no shortage of fun, attention and plenty of toys. We can keep in contact through text messages/phone calls/WhatsApp and can send pictures. Your precious friend will be very happy with us. We are both retired and absolutely adore the little fur balls. We spend our entire day looking after them, going for long walks, playing, etc.... We have a fenced yard that is safety checked for the pups. We treat them according to your instructions (just like you do at home). We have a form where you can specify feeding habits, play habits, sleeping habits, special requests.
“Skye looked happy and comfortable at Vanessa's house. She sent me pictures and videos so I was at ease when skye was at her place. She took very good care of him and I would definitely think of her in future for my sitting needs.”
About: I’ve had lots of dogs and cats over the years. Each experiences was different as the dogs, It is a wonderful experience. I always treat my dogs and cats as they were my own children, with love, care, proper nutrition, playing with them and going on walks. I also teach my children how to treat animals and how to care for them. Such as feeding, playful play, walking, and showing them love and affection. The best part is having a communication with them and they won’t tell anyone haha. I also want to mention I have knowledge on cleaning and maintaining animal living spaces, Bathing and grooming animals, including cutting claws and trimming fur, giving basic obedience training to animals when necessary. I am available to care for both dogs and cats on a daily or weekly basis, with flexible scheduling throughout the day. Please note that services are available up until 10:00 PM. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference and the service requested. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family in a safe, clean, and welcoming environment. I follow their usual feeding routines, ensure fresh water is always available, provide regular exercise and playtime, and offer plenty of affection and supervision throughout the day. I also have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and space for crate use if needed. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. This includes feeding schedules, walks, litter box or waste cleanup, medication administration if required, and enrichment activities. I make sure the home is respected and kept tidy while ensuring the pet feels secure in their familiar environment. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional comfort, while also keeping owners updated as needed.

About: I've cared for pets since I was seven and have always loved cats and dogs. Growing up, I regularly pet-sit for my cousins' two dogs and my neighbours' three dogs, and I loved it. I was the go-to person for walking them, feeding them, and giving them plenty of love and playtime. I still offer dog walks often and genuinely enjoy my time with them. While I have extensive experience with cats, including raising kittens, caring for seniors, and giving medication, I bring that same attentiveness and warmth to every dog I look after. Whether daily walks or overnight stays, I'm here to make your pet feel happy and cared for. I’m a freelance worker with a flexible schedule, which means I can often prioritize pet sitting on days I’m not booked for other work. This makes it easy for me to adjust my availability to fit your pet’s needs—whether for daily walks, weekend stays, or drop-ins throughout the week. I treat every pet like my own, taking time to bond with them and ensure they feel safe and loved. Whether in my home or yours, I keep the space clean and calm, always leaving things as I find them (or better!). I’m respectful of your home and mindful of your pet’s unique personality and routine.

About: I have spent most of my life around animals, and have worked with them professionally for nearly two decades. My family welcomed our first dog, a 140lb Golden Retriever, when I was just four years old. Since then, I have cared for a variety of my own companion animals, including cocker spaniels, pit bulls, mastiffs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, chinchillas, birds, lizards, and fish. My professional experience includes working at boarding facilities, veterinary clinics, pet stores and wildlife centres. I have worked with many individuals and organizations in the local animal care and veterinary community. While I enjoy working with all animals, I have a special affinity towards big dogs, oversized cats, and ducks. My schedule is quite flexible, and I work locally with a light booking load, so your beloved pets will receive my undivided attention while under my watchful care. I understand the importance of familiarity and routine for animals, which is why I offer petsitting in your home. I know first-hand how challenging it can be to leave beloved pets behind, especially when they require extra care due to their age, illness, anxiety or behavioural issues. When I stay with your pets I treat your home with upmost respect and care, and you can trust that your fur family are in good hands while you're away.
“Chlsy is super kind and responsive. She got back to me very quickly and was incredibly professional. Zara was very comfortable with Chlsy even though she can sometimes take a bit too warm up to someone new. I needed someone for a last minute walk and she was fantastic! Highly recommend.”
About: I will go above and beyond for your pet. I will treat your pet like I would my own. I’ve been around animals all of my life. Anything you need, please let me know. I rescued a cat, Jaxon. He’s 8 years old. He’s treated like a king in my house. It’s his world and I’m just living in it :) I like to clean the litter as soon as the animals use it. Happy to brush any animals if they like it, mine loves it. Food, meds or any special treats, happy to serve up! Fulfilling your requests and needs is what I’m all about.
About: I spent my childhood helping my grandparents take care of animals at their boarding kennel and have been a huge animal lover ever since. I have had several animals of my own (dogs, cat, fish, & bunny). I regularly pet sit for friends and family and have started offering pet-sitting services, locally & abroad, for the past three years. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and other small animals. I treat every pet like family, making sure they’re comfortable in their own home environment while you’re away. You can count on me to provide not just the basics - food, walks, and play - but also companionship, calm presence, and genuine care. I have experience caring for senior pets who need extra patience, gentleness, and attention. I understand how to move at their pace, notice the little signs when they’re tired or uncomfortable, and keep them feeling safe and loved. I run (mostly-online) businesses that provides a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I can work around your pet’s usual routine to keep them feeling safe and comfortable. Whether it’s morning feedings, mid-day playtime, or evening snuggles, I am adaptable and reliable. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your animals and your space with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent, whether that’s feeding, medications, walks, or playtime. Safety is always my top priority - I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health. I want you to feel complete peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, happy, and loved, and your home is cared for just as you left it.

About: My name is Laura, and I look forward to giving your beloved pet the care and attention they deserve.

Safety, reliability, and cuddles are always my top priorities! Let's chat about your pet's needs! I am currently retired, which means I offer an extremely flexible schedule.

While I am currently fostering and unable to offer in-home boarding, I focus my services on making sure your pet feels safe and secure during visits. With clear, detailed instructions, I am committed to providing a seamless and comforting experience for your furry friend while you are away.
About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder. Dogs have always been a passion of mine! I will treat your dogs just like my own.. lots of TLC 🥰 I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally. We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will need to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.
“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’m a responsible and patient caregiver who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have the most experience caring for Labrador Retrievers, so I’m very familiar with high-energy dogs and how to keep them engaged, exercised, and happy. I have experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and basic care. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs and always make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m also good at following specific instructions, whether it’s maintaining a schedule, giving medication, or reinforcing basic training. What sets me apart is my calm energy, reliability, and ability to handle energetic dogs with consistency and care. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your dog. I have full availability on weekdays and can provide care throughout the day, including walks, and drop-ins. I typically work during the day on weekends, but I do have occasional weekends off. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, exercise, and any special care requirements. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and never put in unsafe situations. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and organized. I also pay close attention during walks, avoiding risky areas and ensuring your dog is always safe, calm, and well cared for.
About: I have been taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and species as long as I can remember. I am very cognizant of all the animals in my care and find I can read their cues like a book. I am learning dog training and have worked hard with my dog on his skills. I am no stranger to giving pups medication as well, let me know what your pups needs and I can take care of them as if they were my own! I am currently a stay-at-home mom of 1, so I have lots of time and love to give your furry family. We are quite flexible so let us know your needs for care and we will be happy to oblige! We have a large fenced backyard, the dog beach nearby and 2 dog parks not far from our house. We have 1 dog and 3 cats in the home so we are very familiar with accommodating different personalities and their needs! We can crate pups if they need some space or we have a deck that they can lay on to get some sun.
“Thank you so much Kevin for helping us out last minute! Max was so happy when we came home. Kevin was great he was on time and gave us pictures of the walk. Our dog Max was so happy having Kevin come by and taking him for a walk. Thank you so much again for helping us out!”

“Heather was 10/10 during the whole process. It was our first time user rover and she made everything seem so flawless! She constantly sent photos and updates and when there was a change of plans, Heather didn’t hesitate! I will definitely be booking my girly with her again!”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Anne while she cared for our dog, Wilson, during our vacation. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent and she made us feel completely at ease. During the pre-stay meet and greet, it was clear how comfortable Wilson felt with her—and that carried through the entire stay. Anne sent us daily pictures and videos, which not only reassured us but also showed how happy and well-cared-for Wilson was. She is so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring—it honestly felt like Wilson was on his own vacation! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely trust Anne with Wilson again in the future.”
“Angi is such a wonderful attention to our family! She was attentive to our senior girls needs and they settled in so nicely. Angi sent us a picture overnight as well. Highly recommend Angi.”
“Aditya and Ipshita were great with my dog. They were very professional and kept be updated on his day of fun with them. They truly do love dogs and that is shown in the care they take to make sure they are well taken cared of.”
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”
“Melanie is fabulous! Our four pups had never been boarded before staying with Melanie, and we are extremely hesitant to ever leave them with anyone other than a family member. However, when our daughter got married this past weekend we had no choice but to find someone to care for them. Melanie’s profile caught my eye immediately so I reached out and she responded quickly. Her communication was always prompt, and we loved receiving photos of our babies lounging at her house during their stay. They looked very happy, content and relaxed. We will definitely use her services again in the future. She is professional, kind, gentle, welcoming and a true dog lover! I highly recommend her. Thank you for your wonderful care of our furbabies, Melanie! 🐶🐶🐶🐶”
“Sheila is awesome and very responsive. She was great with my Golden Retriever, Mabel. She sent regular updates and photos. Mabel got personalized attention and slept on the bed at night. Sheila also took some fabulous photos of Mabel that are of photography studio quality.”
“I would recommend Michelle & Robert for your loved pet. They were very frendly, easy to communicate with. They welcomed my dog in as one of their own. He came home happy and tired. I defiantly will be retuning in the future. Thank you kindly”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd of my own along with a cat and a bunny! My dog would love to join all of the adventures but also understands that not everybody wants to be friends! I am currently work a part time job and have a flexible schedule! I am available mornings, afternoons and nights! This includes weekends as well. I have an unfenced yard and my dog is let outside by leash. This is compensated by MANY walks in a day and lots of adventures. My home is spacious and my dog is extremely welcoming and loves to make fur friends.
