Personalized care for your dog or cat - Goderich

“Jennifer took amazing care of our dog, Zuko! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Zuko was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience. Jennifer is caring, reliable, and truly treats the dogs like they’re her own. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member. Thanks again, Jennifer—we’ll definitely be booking with you again!”

“Bonnie took wonderful care of our Pug Ava! Bonnie and her daughter Temika made a quick connection with Ava and sent lots of pictures! They gave Ava lots of love as we could tell by how Ava was connecting with them and how Ava was upon our return so calm, and ver content (very peaceful). (Other Dog owners will understand this because thats not always the case) She met all of Ava's needs with love sprinkled on top! We thank you for caring for our dear family member! Laurie and Ken”

“Our dog seems to have enjoyed the stay. Very loving family especially the daughter who is very font of dogs. Only shortcoming is that there is lot of items in the living room and I got a bit worried about injuries if something falls over due to lack of space. This is the only reason for 4 star. However I would still take our dog there. Vikas was very punctual in communications.”

“Melissa and Jacob were excellent with Roxy. They included her like family and ensured all her needs were met. Would definitely book with them again!”

“So glad we found Tori! Our dog River liked her instantly and it was obvious she's a dog lover. She was very responsive and super flexible with pick up time. Tori sent us a video of our dog playing well with hers, just after drop off, which really eased my dog mom-guilt (first time leaving her for an extended time with someone new)! I really appreciated that. River came home happy and tired and we will book with Tori again for sure!”

About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats for over 30 years. Have done some pet sitting as well which included regular walks, play time , feeding and grooming and giving medication. They will be well takken care of in my care. I have a flexible schedule at the moment and am available during the day several days a week and every other weekend. Prefer animals to stay with me. I have 1 cat so your dog will need to be accustomed to cats. My cat has been around dogs. I live out in the country with hiking trails surrounding me so I will be walking the dog daily there.

About: I am an avid animal lover who will care your fur baby as if mine. I believe in the symbiosis between animals and humans and strive to make these contacts positive experiences for both. I offer a loving home on a country property, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. If you have farm pets needing care, I may be able to help here too. I will offer your pet a positive experience and peace of mind for you while your pet is in my care. Feel free to contact me to meet prior to booking with me. I am always open to meeting new people and sharing pet experiences and ideas about offering the best possible care to four legged family members. I’m currently retired and fortunate to have a flexible schedule. I am home most days and having a fully fenced yard makes potty breaks a breeze. I have two small adult dogs who will keep your dog company while you are away. I am available all day long to keep a close eye on dog play and interactions.

“Jennifer was absolutely amazing while caring for our cat, Nelly, during our vacation. She was incredibly sweet, accommodating, and thoughtful, and her lovely home made Nelly feel right at ease. Jennifer kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Nelly clearly had a great time—she was showered with love, toys, treats, and catnip! We’re so thankful and would gladly trust her again in a heartbeat.”

About: Never met a dog that doesn’t like me! I’m active and love going on hikes and walks, but it is so much better doing that with a furry companion! Looking for ways to spend time with my favourite animal and help others in the community. I had a golden retriever for 11 years and he was my life. But he also cost me a lot of money. So looking to help others with their family pet as I know I always struggled to go on vacation or stay late at work and be able to find someone that could stop in and let my dog out for a pee or a walk. So thought I’d try to return the favour. I may spoil your dog a bit too while I visit but only if that’s allowed !

“This was Maisy’s first day away from us and she did really well. Tori and Bobby were perfect hosts, making Maisy feel very much at home. We appreciated Tori asking questions about our practices around the house so as to be consistent. And the bonus was that Maisy came home happy and exhausted! We couldn’t be happier with our first Rover experience!”

About: Hi, I’m Jenny! Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had dogs or cats by my side, and providing them with love and care has been second nature to me. Animals seem to feel safe and comfortable around me, which I consider a true honor. Although I’m new to Rover, I was encouraged to join and knew it would be a great fit for my schedule. As a stay-at-home mom, I have plenty of time and space to care for your fur baby in a loving and safe environment. I also have a sweet and gentle British Shorthair cat who is very easygoing and doesn’t mind dogs. He’s spoiled with all the best toys, scratch posts, and cat trees—and I promise to extend the same level of love and care to your pet. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make them feel right at home! My schedule is very flexible as both my partner and I are home during the day and evenings. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 4 year old who is starting school in September which will extended my availability even further! I care for my pets similar to how I care for my child. They’re spoiled with love and all of the best food, treats and toys. We make sure our cat Fonzy is very happy and comfortable. He has many cozy sleeping spaces, tons of toys, cat trees and scratching posts! He gets the best quality good, and kitty litter. He’s apart of our family and knows nothing but comfort, love and fun.
