“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!!”
“Anne was an absolute wonderful host for our Mr. Cooper. It was his very own person Bed & Breakfast while we were away. We received updates of his adventures and all the new friends he met. She was very caring and has a great energy about her that Cooper absolutely loved. I would 10/10 recommend Anne!!!”
“We had such a great experience with Katherine. The daily updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear Quinn was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. It made being away so much easier. I truly can’t recommend Katherine enough!”
“Dale was wonderful with ROXY , she kept us updated sent us pictures cuddling ROXY :) We felt very safe leaving our puppy baby with Dale . We will definitely be using Dales home and wonderful loving services again ❤️❤️ Thank you again see you in near future ;)”
“Heather was perfect for our situation. We had a last-minute opportunity to stay at Blue Mountain and ski for two days. Heather really helped us out. Our dog got lots of walks and Heather sent some photos which was great.”
“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!”
“Emilie is amazing. And her kids were wonderful with Joy. I can’t say enough good things. Such good care. I recommend them 100% Thank you for taking such good care of our little girl.”
“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.”
“Adi and Ips took such great care of my 5 year old dog and really went above and beyond. I have a Corgi, and they handled her energy so well. They usually have 2 to 3 other dogs around, both big and small, and even safely exposed her to a cat, which was a great experience. They kept her busy with long walks full of sniffing, worked on her leash skills, and even took her on a car ride. They also offered to help reinforce a few commands, which I really appreciated. At the same time, they made sure she got plenty of rest. She was totally comfortable sleeping wherever she wanted, whether that was with the other dogs or on the bed. They stayed in touch every day and let me know right away when she had a health related episode. It was clear they were paying close attention and genuinely cared about her. I can’t thank them enough and will definitely be booking with them again when needed.”
“Molly and Georgia were absolutely wonderful! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I felt like I was leaving Spencer and Rogue with trusted family. I knew right away they would love my dogs as much as I do—and my dogs loved them instantly! They were so accommodating, caring, and wonderful to communicate with. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would highly recommend them to anyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I've been caring for animals for 39 years. Over that time I've lived with and looked after cats, dogs, rabbits, and rats, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of pets and their different personalities and needs. My professional background includes work at animal hospitals, grooming salons, and animal rescues. That experience, along with caring for my own pets, taught me how to deliver caring, loving, and thoughtful care that is also medically aware. I'm comfortable providing medical support, administering medications, and caring for special-needs dogs. In several situations I've been able to recognize the early signs of serious medical emergencies in dogs and respond appropriately. Working in rescue also deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and stress. I know that being away from their person can be hard on pets (and on their owners), so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and keeping communications clear so both of you can feel more at ease. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm available any time during the week for drop-ins, dog or cat hangouts at my home, or working from your home so your pets can stay in their own familiar space. I am also available weekends as well Just let me know what works for you and your pets! I currently have a pet free home. I do have crates if your pet prefers that or they can cuddle up in bed. Your dog would only be walked on a leash or put out on a very secure, strong cable as I do not have a fenced yard. In your home I would follow any rules and routines you have in place.
“Geo and Amanda were great! Lots of pictures sent for updates the dogs were extremely comfortable and happy to be with them. We’ve already rebooked for the next time! Thanks so much”
“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!”
“Geordie is absolutely fantastic. He took my sweet girl Bailey for an entire week into his home. I received multiple photos and videos of their adventures together. From walking on the trails, visiting seniors and watching tv together on the couch, Bailey had met a new friend. Thanks Geordie!!!!!”
“Tim and Salma were great! They were able to accommodate a last minute request, asked them a day before and they were thankfully available to watch our dog for us. Sent us a bunch of pictures and videos, as well us updated us throughout his stay. Thank you so much tim and Salma! Would recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter and we will definitely be booking again!”

“Ellie was really wonderful during the meet and greet stage to make sure we felt comfortable, and was really clear with emphasizing that she would take care of our cat like he was her own - which really put us at ease. Ellie took great care of our cat during booked care visit. She made sure he got his medication and had fun playing. The pictures were great - and Ellie is excellent at communication. Highly recommend!”
“Sara is awesome! She answers quickly, booked on short notice, and made me feel that my baby was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again! Thank you Sara!”
About: As a dedicated cat owner of two, I understand how important it is to provide calm, attentive, and consistent care. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing each cat’s unique personality—whether they’re energetic or more independent. I create a stress-free environment where your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve spent over 5 years working professionally in Doggy Daycare(s) in Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

“Ashley took great care of our kitty, Charlie while we were away! Charlie requires special care and medication for his condition and Ashley took care of all his needs and kept him on schedule. She was very communicative and kept our place clean, we really appreciated that she was sending frequent pictures and updates. We have full trust in her and would highly recommend!”
“Danielle was such a dream and took great care of our Kitty .. she sent detailed updates and photos to grant us peace of mind. We cannot thank her enough - this made our holiday away more enjoyable as we didn’t have the stress of worrying about the furry one at home.”

“Jessica is amazing. I was nervous as I have never left my cats with anyone, it was our first vacation. We were put at ease from the first visit and were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries. I think the cats thought they were on vacation as well. The pictures Jessica sent us from each visit made our hearts happy. She played music for them each visit. She is amazing and we will hopefully be able to book her for our next vacation. Thank you Jessica.”
“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: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of cats’ unique needs and personalities. I’ve cared for cats of all ages, including seniors, and know how important patience, gentleness, and consistency are. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications, and providing cozy spaces where cats feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each cat’s behavior, energy, and preferences, making sure they feel secure and loved. With my flexible schedule during the week and on weekends, I can give your cat plenty of attention, play, and companionship. Your cat will be cared for with the same warmth and devotion I gave my own feline friends, making them feel happy and comfortable in my care. 🐾
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.
About: i’ve taken care of & trained dogs and cats of all kinds as well as small animals and horses, all my life! I love it. I am currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I also drive, and can come to you! I can take care of your pets either in my home or your home! I can drive wherever needed, I know lots of great locations to walk your pups as well!
About: I have had my own cats and watched neighbours cats since I was a little girl. I love watching cats because we respect each others needs/space and I give them love on their terms. I earn their trust, keep a steady routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space
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 🥰 FOR IN HOME CARE MY DOG MUST BE ABLE TO COME WITH ME 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.
About: Hi! I’m Leah, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my two dogs, Winston and Dakota. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, so my priority is making sure both you and your dog feel safe, comfortable and confident. My experience goes beyond everyday pet ownership. Growing up, I volunteered with the Oakville Humane Society, where I gained experience around animals with different personalities and needs. I also spent several years volunteering with Frontline K9 Manitoba, participating in spay/neuter and vaccination clinics, assisting with basic animal health needs, and supporting rescue and apprehension efforts. One of my greatest learning experiences has been my own dog, Dakota. Dakota is a rescue with a history of dog reactivity, which led me to invest extensively in professional training and learn as much as possible about canine behaviour, body language, triggers and safe handling. I’ve worked closely with trainers and completed multiple training programs with her, giving me hands-on experience managing and supporting a dog with more complex behavioural needs. Because of this experience, I’m comfortable reinforcing the training and routines you already have in place, including loose-leash walking, calm and structured walks, polite greetings, jumping, impulse control, basic cues and confidence building. I understand the importance of consistency and will always follow the methods, commands and boundaries you use with your dog. I’m especially understanding of reactive, anxious or sensitive dogs. I know that sometimes a successful walk means creating distance, changing routes, avoiding a trigger or simply giving a dog the time and space they need to feel safe. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt my care to their personality, routine and needs. My goal is for your dog to have a safe, positive and enriching experience while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for by someone who genuinely understands dogs. Flexible remote work schedule in social work and k9 training. Schedule can vary however I can accommodate whenever I am able! Thank you and talk soon! I am happy to provide care in my home or if required, in your home. Willing to follow your typical routines / structure. We can chat beforehand to make a plan.
About: Happy to walk a dog or two. I usually have my kids and dog in tow on walks, but am flexible if that’s not ideal. Our 12yo dog Kutsu (medium sized border collie mix from Japan) is great with other dogs and loves to run, play and explore. He mostly just keeps to himself though and avoids conflict. I am a full time mom looking for extra cash and love dogs, and so do the kids of course. The kids are so far very gentle with our dog and other dogs we’ve had here. We aren’t hosting at this time but will again soon! We're more than happy to accommodate any special needs. We are well-versed in the cone of shame, allergies, and giving medications. I used to be a nurse so learning on the job is my specialty. We believe in positive reinforcement training and have used an e-collar in the past until it wasn’t necessary anymore. Please feel free to talk to us more about how we can support you and your best friend! I am a stay at home mom so I make my own schedule and am very flexible. I am good with last-minute or planned visits. All depends on the needs of the dog. If they like to be left alone, cool. If they need meds, cool. If they need walks all day, cool. We can accomodate!

“Luna returned to Rieko and John’s care for a second time now. Luna loved her time there and had lots of fun on walks, snuggling, and asking for belly rubs! Luna even got to try some homemade pumpkin seed treats!”
“Cindy is very accommodating and loving towards our baby. Her home is conducive to dog sitting. Free of clutter and very clean and organized. Maui feels at home whenever she is in Cindy’s care. She also gets to play with both Max and Josie, Cindy’s cute fur babies. She sends us photos of Maui every time and gves updates. We recommend Cindy, without hesitation.”
“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 :)”
“Hi. We would like to thank Michelle for doing such a great job caring for our now 6 month old mini golden doodle. Michelle greeted us each morning with a warm smile. She told us Freddie was doing great and sent videos of him and her 5 year old gorgeous dog Molly. Molly became Freddie’s momma and it meant the world to me seeing how well Freddie was bonding. The socialization was great for our boy. Michelle played some calming meditation music which Freddie loves. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring Freddie back for more tender loving care. Thank you Michelle. You are awesome 😎”
“Heather accommodated us with a last minute request to watch our pup Rex. She was amazing with Rex and provided updates to us throughout the day. We were running late to pick him up and she was very flexible and gracious to keep him a little longer. He is generally very timid with people and she was very understanding. I could tell she's had lots of experience with different dog personalities. I won't hesitate to ask Heather to watch our pup again. Thanks Heather!”
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! Minor note: extended travel (over 30minute drive), adds the full hour fee for drop ins and walks to account for the kms. 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 2 dogs 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.
“She is super sweet and has a great house w a great neighborhood. She sent greatupdates- those are never enough hhaha The girls are very sensitive to cold so Deborah sent me a video of them cuddled up by the fireplace which was so nice. Would use again”

About: I do some boarding and dog sits at your home. But if you are working full time and need walks for your dog this summer- we got you! My daughter and I can make it work, if you are in Stayner. For this summer my 15 year old daughter is assisting me with dog walks, to increase how many clients I can help. We have years of experience loving and walking dogs!

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 grew up on a small hobby farm looking after all different types of animals. But I’ve always had a strong love for dogs.

So I am more than happy to help those people have the peace of mind while they are away from their pets, that they are getting the love and attention they need!

“Laura was quick to respond and accomodating with a last minute booking. She sent lots of photo updates during Lucy's walks and was easy to communicate with. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for caring for animals, with hands-on experience that started at just 4 years old and continues to this day. Growing up surrounded by pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding of both dogs and cats and their unique needs. My family and I currently care for four dogs and two cats, all of whom are a big part of our daily lives. Through this, I’ve gained experience with feeding routines, exercise, grooming, and providing a safe, loving environment. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for and support two litters of puppies, which gave me valuable experience with newborn care, monitoring development, and ensuring both the mother and puppies are healthy and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine love. I am currently a self employed day trader so I work in the morning 8am-11am so I am free anytime after that during the week mon-fri. On the weekends my schedule is open all day When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, walk times, and any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise based on their energy level and personality. For dogs, that includes walks, outdoor time, and engagement. For cats, I provide interaction, litter box cleaning, and a calm presence. I also prioritize keeping the home clean and organized—refreshing water bowls, cleaning up after pets, and making sure their space stays tidy. If needed, I can administer basic medications and keep a close eye on their health and behavior. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like they would with their owner.

My messages are currently open for inquiries and bookings! 🐶🐱🤎 Mon-Friday: Please reach out to discuss my availability ☺️ (daytime may vary, evenings are usually open) Weekends: Always available (unless stated on my profile that I’m away, which won’t be often!) I know how important it is for animals to stay in their routines; I take instructions very well and will always follow your rules when your pet(s) are in my care! My communication skills are strong; and I like to include pictures in my updates (if given permission), as pet photography is another hobby of mine. ☺️
About: I've been caring for animals for 39 years. Over that time I've lived with and looked after cats, dogs, rabbits, and rats, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of pets and their different personalities and needs. My professional background includes work at animal hospitals, grooming salons, and animal rescues. That experience, along with caring for my own pets, taught me how to deliver caring, loving, and thoughtful care that is also medically aware. I'm comfortable providing medical support, administering medications, and caring for special-needs dogs. In several situations I've been able to recognize the early signs of serious medical emergencies in dogs and respond appropriately. Working in rescue also deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and stress. I know that being away from their person can be hard on pets (and on their owners), so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and keeping communications clear so both of you can feel more at ease. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm available any time during the week for drop-ins, dog or cat hangouts at my home, or working from your home so your pets can stay in their own familiar space. I am also available weekends as well Just let me know what works for you and your pets! I currently have a pet free home. I do have crates if your pet prefers that or they can cuddle up in bed. Your dog would only be walked on a leash or put out on a very secure, strong cable as I do not have a fenced yard. In your home I would follow any rules and routines you have in place.
About: Work-from-Home Dog Lover by Scenic Trails — Available all day for exercise, potty breaks, belly rubs, extra snuggles, and attentive loving care. I joined Rover because I love dogs. I work from home, which means I can give dogs lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every break is spent walking, playing, or giving belly rubs. I live beside the Collingwood trail network, so I often take dogs on longer, scenic walks through the trails or down by the water. Your pup will enjoy exercise, fresh air, and plenty of companionship. I have beautiful grassy areas around my building and access to safe, scenic trails, which makes walks enjoyable and varied for dogs. Inside, dogs are welcome to make themselves at home — whether that means snuggling on the sofa or lounging on the bed. I treat every dog like family, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and loved at all times.
About: I've had family pets for my whole life and two dogs of my own - both with fun quirks that come with rescue dogs. I love animals and especially walking dogs. Experience sitting all sizes of dog from puppies to senior dogs. I work from home and have a fenced backyard where I can also work when the weather is nice. Therefore, I can let a dog out as much as it needs during the day and have time for two good walks (or a few shorter ones) each day. Pets in my home are allowed to nap on furniture and there are also a few pet beds around, so they can have their pick. I like to take dogs to the backyard, which is fenced, for some outdoor relaxing time, and have a good supply of poop bags, dried beef liver treats, and some fun toys depending on what the dog likes. The house is calm and quiet, and one of the first things I do in the morning is go for a nice big walk.
About: i’ve taken care of & trained dogs and cats of all kinds as well as small animals and horses, all my life! I love it. I am currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I also drive, and can come to you! I can take care of your pets either in my home or your home! I can drive wherever needed, I know lots of great locations to walk your pups as well!
About: I have always felt a strong connection to animals, especially dogs and cats. I wake up every morning looking forward to seeing a pup! This is why I treat every pet like my own. I pay attention to personalities, ages, quirks, and comfort levels so your fur babies get the best care possible for their needs. A happy pet is my goal! I am currently an online university student, which means I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to work on my studies from home while looking after furry friends! I care for all of my client’s pets as if they were my own. Both my client’s and their pets’ comfort and safety is my number one priority. I make sure to understand each individual pet’s personality, needs and preferences.
“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!”

Dogs are a big part of my life and that will never change Currently working part time and have alot of free time, mainly during the week. Very flexible during all hours, whatever the pups need, I’m there! I love going for walks, lots of trials by my house and others dogs for socializing.

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 🥰 FOR IN HOME CARE MY DOG MUST BE ABLE TO COME WITH ME 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.
About: I've cared for animals since I was a kid. From early morning walks to baths and meals, I have pet-sat for neighbours, friends and family for many years. Most recently I boarded a pet pig. I'm currently working as a freelancer remotely from my home. I am available any day or time of the week and can give your pet the care and attention it deserves. I have a spacious house and tree-lined yard - so location and timing are flexible. I have a car and will come to your residence if needed.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse and hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and skill levels. With three years of experience in pet retail, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior and the products that best suit their needs. I’ve also worked closely with dog trainers and walkers, gaining specialized experience in handling reactive and aggressive dogs with defensive handling techniques. In addition to my expertise with senior dogs, puppies, and pullers, I’ve been actively involved in dog sports like agility, barn hunt, lure courses, scent work, canicross, rally obedience, and conformation. This gives me a unique ability to tailor activities to your dog’s energy levels, whether they need a calm walk or an engaging training session. Whether you're looking for someone to provide gentle care for a senior dog or a high-energy workout for a sporty pup, I can ensure your dog feels safe, stimulated, and well-loved. I work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments—including reactive and aggressive dogs. I’ve had great success helping dogs integrate into group walks, with many positive outcomes to show for it. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I’m passionate about balancing my career outside of Rover with my love for dogs who meet me through Rover! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines and preferences while maintaining balance and structure to stay consistent and reduce stress.

“Anne was an absolute wonderful host for our Mr. Cooper. It was his very own person Bed & Breakfast while we were away. We received updates of his adventures and all the new friends he met.

“Emilie is amazing. And her kids were wonderful with Joy. I can’t say enough good things. Such good care. I recommend them 100% Thank you for taking such good care of our little girl.”
“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.”
“Sharon is the best! She is so wonderful with our dog and we always know she is safe and well cared for. Sharon is very accommodating and helpful with booking requests and drop off/pick up etc. Our dog absolutely loves her visits with Sharon, she is always very excited to go back!”
“Adi and Ips took such great care of my 5 year old dog and really went above and beyond. I have a Corgi, and they handled her energy so well. They usually have 2 to 3 other dogs around, both big and small, and even safely exposed her to a cat, which was a great experience. They kept her busy with long walks full of sniffing, worked on her leash skills, and even took her on a car ride. They also offered to help reinforce a few commands, which I really appreciated. At the same time, they made sure she got plenty of rest. She was totally comfortable sleeping wherever she wanted, whether that was with the other dogs or on the bed. They stayed in touch every day and let me know right away when she had a health related episode. It was clear they were paying close attention and genuinely cared about her. I can’t thank them enough and will definitely be booking with them again when needed.”
“Molly and Georgia were absolutely wonderful! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I felt like I was leaving Spencer and Rogue with trusted family. I knew right away they would love my dogs as much as I do—and my dogs loved them instantly! They were so accommodating, caring, and wonderful to communicate with. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would highly recommend them to anyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We were very pleased with the care Dex received with Jessica. She sent updates and pictures often which gave us peace of mind and very secure. Dex was well taken care of and she really cared for him. I would definitely use her again.”

“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: 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.
“Geordie is absolutely fantastic. He took my sweet girl Bailey for an entire week into his home. I received multiple photos and videos of their adventures together. From walking on the trails, visiting seniors and watching tv together on the couch, Bailey had met a new friend. Thanks Geordie!!!!!”
