“Vivienne just did her first overnight - she’s exhausted from all the playing, I think, but very happy. I got amazing photo updates from Elizabeth! It made being away so much easier!”
“I have now boarded my two dogs Gracie and Lucy with Claudia and her family for the second time, for a week over Christmas. And like the first time, it was a great experience. It's clear they're all very comfortable with each other, and I feel as if I'm leaving my girls with family. I feel very lucky to have found Claudia, and will definitely come to her again.”
“Sayali took great care of Frank and I was able to enjoy my time knowing he was in good hands. Her updates were very helpful and Frankie loved playing with her dogs in the backyard!”
“She had experienced to take care of pets. My pet was not easy to care for but she totally could make him happy and get along with others quickly. We were happy to send my pet to her.”
“Bradley was the best dog sitter yet! He provided amazing updates of my sweet son and was able to care for him and all his needs! Alfred can sometimes be a handful and I feel filled with pure joy that he got along with Bradley! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone and I’m so grateful that he was able to look after him so well! Thank you so much!!”
About: I have lived on a farm all my life. I have been taking care of animals for most of my life. I ensure good care of animals. I would take them for a walk, reward good behaviours with treats. I have a lot of property that I could take a dog to go on a walk. I have a Golden Retriever and her name is Juno, she is 3yr old and she is very friendly to all dogs . Mostly I am at home that gives me availability to take care of dogs on even short notice. I have lots of space on the farm for the dogs which is great for energetic dogs. I always have them on a leash for trust to be built, and so they are next to me at all times. I have my own space in my parents house so a more reserved dog can build trust at their own level.
“We were worried leaving Dexter with a sitter as he is generally very oriented and has anxiety issues. Lynn put us at ease the first day we were away with pictures that showed Dexter was happy and well taken care of. He got lots of attention and walks .We are happy, and sure Dexter was happy with Lynn and her husband. We would defiantly use Lynn again.”
“We brought our dog Rae for her first overnight visit with Jennifer and Winston and today picked up a happy and sleepy puppy so we know she had a great time! Jennifer was always quick to respond and sent messages to let us know how she was doing so at no point was I worried and was able to enjoy my night out. Will definitely be bringing Rae back for more play dates and overnight visits in the future. Thank you for everything, Jennifer and Winston!”
“Faye was incredibly friendly with our puppy! Her own big dog Leo is very well trained. We think our puppy came home better than before we left. We would definitely recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Glen took such good care of our girl while we were away overnight. We received many updates throughout the day and she was comfortable quickly in his home. We will definitely book with Glen again!”
“Courtney and Ryan we're the absolute best care for my dog. I received constant updates and photos of the time Levi spent with them. I know Levi will be thrilled to go back. Thank you so much Courtney and Ryan for looking after my dog like part of your family!”
“I had a major operation on my foot last week and my one concern was where can Willow go for a week while I gather my strength. I chose this one because it had a fenced yard, another dog and it was a house. Rest assured, I went into surgery last week knowing that she was in a good place! Thank you both for watching Willow and for Bella, Willow’s new friend!”
“Kimberly and her husband Kevin are fantastic. Orly had her first overnight and came home tired and happy. I know she gets lots of love and attention. She is looking forward to her next vacation at Kimberly's.”
About: I have over 12+ years of dog ownership experience as well as 3+ years experience in dog adoption/fostering. Taking care of other people's pets is second nature to me. As a dog owner myself, I understand that it is stressful to relinquish control of your pets care to someone else. I was caught up in the business of the 9-5 workday and stressed to find care for my dogs that was personable and affordable. I have recently lost my job and in the midst of looking for work, I decided to open up my home to some furry friends! **I am only able to provide care from 8am-6pm daily for doggy daycare** I am currently searching for my next job opportunity since being laid off. I have daily available during the work day with overnight care offered if needed. I have a fully fenced, large yard as well as two dogs of my own. The care for your dog would be directly in my home, they wouldn't be outside all day/ignored. If the weather is bad, we may just sit back and watch TV after playtime! My dogs are very friendly and playful but I do have a dachshund who is very small, therefore I can only accept dogs that are 40lbs and under.
“We are very happy with the care and attention Yoda gave to our Matilda. At first, we were worried about whether Matilda would feel comfortable with her caregiver, since she is very attached to us, but as soon as she arrived at Yoda’s home, all our worries disappeared. Matilda just wanted to go inside Yoda’s house, and she looked so happy!! We felt very reassured by Yoda’s energy, as she truly radiates her love for animals. She also kept us 100% updated the whole time. It was a wonderful experience.”

“Jacqueline did an amazing job taking care of my two cats while I was gone for the week. She went above and beyond.

She’s friendly and extremely kind. I’ll absolutely be utilizing her again in the future.”
“Adrian was professional, friendly, and you can tell he truly cares about your furry best friend. He makes sure to keep you in the loop and I highly recommend him for anyone who might be hesitant on hiring a cat/dog sitter. It was truly such a relief to have someone so dependable and caring look after my cat.”
“Faye was a wonderful caregiver for our two cats.

“Jessica took great care of our German Shepherd, Kali, during our time away, providing several drop-in visits and excellent communication throughout. We had peace of mind knowing Kali was in such great hands.”
“This was my first time using rover and I was nervous about it at first. But my experience with Rachel was phenomenal! Rachel came to my home a few times during our vacation to look after out cat Eevee. Rachel topped up her food, gave her fresh water, cleaned out the litter box, and managed to play and pet with Eevee. Rachel even came over before we left to go over everything and to meet Eevee, which I really appreciate! It was nice to come home to a clean house and a happy cat. I would definitely book with Rachel and will be using her in the future. Thank you Rachel!!”

I am very comfortable with any behaviour, or anything they may need! :)
“Walter was amazing with my cat Ducky over the past four nights! My cat is usually very scared and shy, but was perfectly fine around Walter. He was also very flexible and allowed me to shift my bookings back three hours with short notice. It was so nice to not have to worry over the holidays knowing that my cat was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future and would recommend his services to anyone who wants the best care for their pet!”

“She is wonderful! Liam loved her right away during the meet and greet. From the very first sitting, she went above and beyond. She was supposed to walk Liam and leave him at our house while we were away, but after receiving the hurricane amber alert, she immediately went to check on him and offered to take him to her home. We’re very happy to have found someone we can truly count on in town.”
“This was our first time booking through Rover and with Claudia. We have a trip coming up in January and needed care for our Border Collie. Today was our first daycare day and Raven loved it!!! Claudia sent me messages and videos throughout the day, which was really sweet. She’s so nice, and you can tell she truly loves the dogs and what she does. We’re looking forward to booking more daycare days and having her watch Raven while we’re on our trip. Thank you so much, Claudia!! ♥️♥️♥️”
About: As a dog owner for over 4 years, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and providing a safe and loving environment. Caring for my own dog has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and potty breaks are already part of my routine, ensuring pets receive plenty of supervision and affection while in my care. Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I live in a house with a secure fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a friendly 4 year old golden retriever who enjoys companionship and can be a great playmate for social dogs.
“Amazing!! She did so much with them, constantly sent photo’s and videos of what they were doing and the dogs were having a blast! I would highly recommend! Great with the dogs and an all around great person!”

“She was amazing and I’ll always come to her if I need someone to take care of Maverick. She made sure my puppy who is 5 months was introduced to the other dogs slowly and comfortably. She sent me many updates, photos and videos. I had someone cancel on me last minute and she responds right away. I’m very happy and recommend her to anyone using this app! She also has a lot of availability, flexibility, a yard and ensures the puppies needs are being met. She made sure all my questions were answered and that I was confident to put Maverick in her care!”

“I'm so happy I reached out to Sandra for daycare for my 9 month old herding pup, Buddy. She responded right away and asked all the right questions. I could tell right away she was a pro at reading dogs' body language and at kindly managing the behavioral issues we've been struggling with. She offered great advice and worked with him throughout his entire stay. He even trained at her side as she worked at the market which was an invaluable experience, especially for a nervous pup at his age. You can be confident leaving your pet with Sandra knowing they are in the best hands. I look forward to them spending more time together again soon.”

Adley is always excited to go and exhausted when she comes home. Highly, highly recommend Laurie & Max's Doggo Den Daycare!”
About: Having fostered and rescued stubborn Rottweilers, I know that helping animals is something I truly feel connected with.

Work offers flex time, so mid day requirements are easily met. Happy to pet sit at my home during my home office work hours as well. In home = crate, no furniture, 100% leashed outdoors until mutual agreed on (approved sniff spot / fenced areas). In your home = the animal/owner preference, home yard rules applied.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and small pets of all ages and temperaments. Pet care is currently my primary focus, so I build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I offer flexible morning and evening walks, drop-ins, and weekend availability. I also provide boarding for both dogs and cats. I carefully manage my calendar to ensure each pet receives my full attention, and I only accept bookings I can confidently commit to. Clear communication and reliability are very important to me. In my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced backyard and a calm, structured environment. I have one very friendly, well-socialized dog who gets along well with both dogs and cats. If needed, I can easily separate pets, as my home has multiple areas to ensure comfort and safety for everyone. I provide clean spaces and multiple cozy pet beds.
About: I have lived with and cared for pets my entire life. I genuinely love getting to know animals on an individual basis, learning their quirks, personalities and unique needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and provide them with a safe, compassionate and fun experience! 🥰 I’m currently working part-time (mostly nights) with a varying schedule. I’m eager to spend as much time with your pets as possible, getting to know their individual needs and personalities. While I don’t provide pet care at my own home, I am more than happy to make visits to your house to ensure your furry friends are well-cared for and to keep your mind at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s care is of the utmost importance to me. I ensure safe, compassionate and patient handling. I can’t wait to get to know your pets and work with them one-on-one to provide a comfortable experience for both your PETS and YOU!
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life and have had my own cats and dogs as an adult on my own as well. I am certified in the Canadian Red Cross Pet First Aid and CPR. I am very familiar with dog and cat communication and behaviours and how to work with both animals to ensure they are cared for properly. I currently have a cat named Rosie and a dog named Annie. Annie is 2 and loves playing with other dogs. She is fully vaccinated and very friendly. She’ll help burn out the energy of other dogs at the dog park no problem! I have also had experience owning other small household pets as well. Since I have the time and experience, I am looking to assist in helping people find care for their pets while they are at work or away from home. I have full availability at the moment. I am able to discuss discounts for multiple days/nights of care if needed. I have a fully fenced backyard and a large doggy door so that your fur baby will be able to use the door if needed and go outside as they wish to play/ use the bathroom. However, I will also monitor them in case they do not use this doggy door (Annie will show them how to use it!). I am certified by the Canadian Red Cross in Pet First Aid and CPR. I will also send hourly updates from 8 am to 8 pm to send a photo or advise on how your dog is doing and what they are up to. when taking dogs out for walks, I will ensure they are kept off of busy streets and only walk them when the pavement is not too hot for their paws/ grass or trail walks only. If taking dogs to the dog park, I will ensure they are monitored closely to ensure they are in a safe and happy environment without aggressive dogs. I will monitor pets eating and pooping and advise if there are any issues. I will ensure they have enough clean drinking water (we used Brita Filtered water). In the event the dog gets muddy or dirty I can bathe them as well.
“Alice needed a male figure since she had one growing up and no longer does. When I come home, Alice is much more calm than she has been in a long time. So glad Walter was able to give her the exercise and play time she needs :) Thank you!”
About: I've had the privilege of growing up with dogs since I was little, so their day to day needs come naturally to me. Around 10 years old I took my love for animals to a new level by beginning to walk dogs in my neighborhood. The families that I worked for trusted me to care for their fur babies and I loved each of them as if they were my own. Over the years I have worked with a variety of dogs, small and large breeds, sweet & easy going dogs, reactive / more difficult dogs, and rescue as well. At the age of 21 I began working at a veterinary clinic and currently still work within the industry. The experience has given me immense hands-on knowledge and a deeper understanding of the medical side of pet care, animal welfare and everything it truly means to be a responsible pet owner. I believe the combination of my personal & professional experience as well as genuine love for animals sets me apart. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable and loved and would be honored to provide that same level of care for your pets too. Caring for animals is part of both my personal and professional life. I currently work full-time in a veterinary clinic and love spending my free time caring for pets as well (my own dog included!). I'm currrently available for evening drop-ins during the week and dog walks or additional care on the weekends! My top priority is ensuring that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. Every pet has different needs and routines, so I do my best to follow their schedule as closely as possible to keep things stress-free and make them feel happy and comfortable. I provide lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and whatever else may be needed for each individual dog. With my experience in the veterinary field, I pay close attention to behavior, comfort levels, and overall wellbeing to ensure your pet is receiving the best possible care while you’re away.
About: I have been taking care of all types of animals my whole life like: cats, dogs of all sizes, birds, lizards, snakes, rabbits and fish i come to animals with a calming mood to soothe them.

About: Hey!! My name is Chelsea, and I own a 1-year-old Labradoodle named Kali, who I absolutely adore. I’ve had her since she was 2 months old, and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her I love her to pieces. To be honest, I don’t think you’ll ever see Kali and me apart other than when I’m at work. I can’t wait to hear from you! I work shift work that is quite flexible this is why I need at least a day notice so that I can ensure it works with my schedule. The best possible would be contacting me so I can ensure I can be there for your pup! Pets are family to me, and my Labradoodle Kali is honestly my world. The biggest thing I focus on is understanding each dog’s personality, comfort level, and needs. Every pet is different, and I think making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved is the most important part of caring for them. Kali is very strong willed and loves new adventures, so I make sure she gets lots of walks, playtime, and trips to the dog park because she loves being off leash and meeting other dogs. I also pay close attention to safety and creating an environment that works best for her personality and energy level. That’s the same care I would give your pet taking the time to understand who they are, what they enjoy, and what helps them feel happy and comfortable while you’re away.
About: 20+ years experience caring for personal, family, colony, shelter, and client animals of all kinds. I am passionate about animals and pets. I have worked around animals for most of my adult life in a variety of fields. From owning and operating my own kennel, breeding and showing dogs at CKC sanctioned events, assisting with and running my own dog classes, completing animal care training and working at University of Guelph (Ridgetown Campus) in their Veterinary Technician Program. I love all dogs and want to work with them to make them as happy as possible. I have a large fenced yard and access to many trails for your dog’s enjoyment. I have significant experience working with all types and breeds of dogs. I am comfortable reading dog body language and can adapt my interactions to suit a wide variety of dog needs. I strive to make sure every dog goes home tired and happy after their stay. I currently work at a kennel, part time as well as caring for the colony animals at University of Guelph - Ridgetown Campus. My schedules are flexible. I care for pets in my own home. I have a large fenced in yard with few neighbours. Access to many walking trails, directly from my backyard. Safe area for play inside my home. Can offer one on one play, or group play with my dogs or other guests. I can offer a variety of walking possibilities, such solo walks or group walks. Dogs can have their own crates or if they are not used to being crated we do offer bedroom stays. I encourage meeting you and your pet before hand (not required)!
About: I’ve had pets since I was a child! I strive to provide nothing but the best love and care that I possibly can to all the fur babies out there. They are an extension of us, and our families. You want to trust the person you’re handing your kids off to for the day, and I hope I can gain that trust. I’m observant, and take animal care very seriously. I put my animal’s needs above my own, and I’d do the same for you and yours :) I have a flexible schedule that I am more than willing to work with you on. Whatever fits you and your pet’s needs the best! I am typically occupied between the hours of 11am and 5pm but can take home days as I please. Some evenings and weekends may be occupied, but are manageable with advance notice! I currently have a high energy Coonhound Lab mix. She gets walked at least 3 times a day for a minimum of 15-20 minutes, and upwards of 2 hours (at least once a day or every other day). She eats when her humans are home or she’s burned a bunch of energy. She is so loved, and loves to cuddle with us. She gets to roam out in the backyard as she pleases, and grazes the grass like a little bovine! Your pet will be treated no less than the best. I’m happy to cater to their specific needs in whatever ways I can possibly muster! Food, exercise, treats, regiment, etc I want make the best of our time together!
About: I have been a huge dog lover since I was young! I have a passion for working with animals and have experience with handling and training leash aggressive, reactive dogs! I have cared for a variety of breeds and sizes and am comfortable with all! Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. Although my partner and I live in Thamesford, Ontario, I frequently travel to Toronto to babysit our family dog. This often involves planning my week around these visits to ensure I can spend quality time with our family pet. In Thamesford, I also enjoy babysitting and walking other local dogs in my free time. This helps me stay active and engaged with the community. My days often consist of working from home and being able to walk and check in on dogs throughout the day to make sure they are comfortable and happy! Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities and remote work requires good time management, but it's a rewarding part of my life that I truly cherish. If I was going to a clients home I would treat it as I treat my own home, with respect and cleanliness. In my own home my dog was the king of the house lol and I treat him as such. Any pets I encounter and look after will be treated with the utmost respect and care because I love animals and love being around them! I would definitely consider myself an animal whisperer. :)
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was young! I am good with all sizes of dogs, having grown up with medium to xl sizes. I have fostered dogs for about 2 years, dealing with many kinds of mixes ranging from husky/shepherd mixes to malinois crosses and bully breeds! I have been in the pet care industry for about 3 years now, working as a dog groomer. As a groomer, my job is to take care of the dogs I groom while providing them with a beautiful groom. Depending on my schedule, walks are given to my dogs either before or after work! I currently have a female Great Dane and a amstaff at home. They get daily walks (depending on the weather) and are treated like the family they are!
About: I have 7+ years in a professional setting working with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, rodents, and reptiles as well as lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats.

I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes and temperaments of all animals. If there’s anything else you would like to know about me or my experience I’m happy to answer any questions! I’m currently working full time at a popular animal boarding and daycare facility and I am looking to expand my expertise into a more personal setting. I’m available weekdays and weekends for in home stays, walking, and daily care/play time. I have years of professional experience caring for animals in shelters, boarding facilities, and right in the comfort of their own homes! When you are away, I strictly follow your pet's normal routine—including structured feeding, fresh water, playtime, daily walks, and litter cleaning. Most importantly, I treat your pets like my own, making sure they receive all the love, patience, and attention they deserve.

I love them with my whole heart so I know how special yours are to you <3 My schedule is what’s best for your pets, I am flexible so you can let me know your schedule and I will work with it! I do not provide in my own home care. I will gladly spend the time in your pets home, backyard, park, or walk around town. Whatever you are most comfortable with.
About: A little bit about me... I joined Rover to get out and about during this difficult time with man's best friend. Not being able to have a dog of my own is sad. I would love to share my love of dogs and animals with you and your pet(s). - I was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. - I’ve been interested in fitness, wellness and nutrition since I was about 13 years old, researching everything I could know about it, in my spare time. - I graduated college with a Social Service Worker diploma, after that, I went to school to become a paramedic but halfway through realized it wasn’t for me. I am now in college to become a medical office administrator. Truly, it takes time to find out what you are meant to do. - I’m a perfectionist about EVERYTHING. - I’m a night person but also prefer not to spend my day sleeping Random points but they let you know-how genuine, compassionate and reliable I am! I work full time but work remote 2 days a week with flexible hours. I also have a 9-5 jobs so I can support your pets if you work different hours. I am almost always free on weekends and holidays to meet your pets needs and give you time to relax I have a calming, relaxing and loving energy that pets typically love. I want a pet of my own but with what still seems like a recent loss, I would love to give the time, energy and love I have to your pet.
About: I currently have two senior cats who love nothing more than sleep, I’ve also had dogs almost all my life one being a foster who was having knee surgery at the time I currently don’t work a traditional job so I’m available to walk, play, let your fur babies out and or just come hang out with them! I will provide care based on your guidance as you know your pets best! I would also put my pets safety at top priority as I will do with yours!
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up ! I am excited to use my spare time to help your dogs:)! Love walking and spending time with all animals! I can do anytime! Depends on the week! I’m a shift worker so typically work 4 days on- 4 days off! Will change every week! I love walking with any type of dog! Big or small/ good walkers or tougher walkers!

About: Hi! My names Shae, I have been taking care of dogs for about 7 years however I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have a huge heart for every single one. In the future I want to open my own hair styling/pet grooming salon for you and your fur baby! I can be trusted to walk, feed, play with and love your dog. Although I work in a hair salon, my mom and I dog sit together. She works from home and is home all hours of the day, so if im not home my mom is home to watch and care for your furbaby. I am available on weekdays and weekends as well as overnights and holidays! I have a large fenced in backyard, as well as a sunroom that has been turned into a doggy playroom:). I have a five year old aussiedoodle who is friendly with all ages and breeds of dogs. I have plenty of space inside and outside for dog watching and I can easily crate your dog if needed, follow any training you want your pup to learn and also follow any dieting or preferred feeding methods
About: I watch Ceaser Millan videos daily, as I have 3 huskies that benefit from his skill set! They are doing amazing, where I can walk all three of them and they follow the dog sledding commands such as Ha - Left, Ge - Right, Straight Ahead, Wo - Slow down, Stop, and Wait. I'll attach my son's ShiPoo to the pack also, and she walks with them, people stop and wave loving it! Now I'm getting them to walk beside me instead of in front, so I can rollerblade with them in the spring. I have a shoulder pack to put the ShiPoo in if she gets tired, and one for the cat also! I am training the huskies now to include the cat in the pack, removing their prey drive so that the cat can walk with all of us. I'm currently working part-time, and have availability between 12-3 pm preferably. I can offer some flexibility in scheduling as I work for myself along with another part-time job driving the school bus. I probably won't offer care in my home at this time, unless the client is comfortable having their pet play with my 3 huskies. It depends on how social your pet is and/or if it needs social training.

“I have now boarded my two dogs Gracie and Lucy with Claudia and her family for the second time, for a week over Christmas. And like the first time, it was a great experience. It's clear they're all very comfortable with each other, and I feel as if I'm leaving my girls with family. I feel very lucky to have found Claudia, and will definitely come to her again.”
“Sayali took great care of Frank and I was able to enjoy my time knowing he was in good hands. Her updates were very helpful and Frankie loved playing with her dogs in the backyard!”
“She had experienced to take care of pets. My pet was not easy to care for but she totally could make him happy and get along with others quickly. We were happy to send my pet to her.”
“Bradley was the best dog sitter yet! He provided amazing updates of my sweet son and was able to care for him and all his needs! Alfred can sometimes be a handful and I feel filled with pure joy that he got along with Bradley! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone and I’m so grateful that he was able to look after him so well! Thank you so much!!”
About: I have lived on a farm all my life. I have been taking care of animals for most of my life. I ensure good care of animals. I would take them for a walk, reward good behaviours with treats. I have a lot of property that I could take a dog to go on a walk. I have a Golden Retriever and her name is Juno, she is 3yr old and she is very friendly to all dogs . Mostly I am at home that gives me availability to take care of dogs on even short notice. I have lots of space on the farm for the dogs which is great for energetic dogs. I always have them on a leash for trust to be built, and so they are next to me at all times. I have my own space in my parents house so a more reserved dog can build trust at their own level.
“We were worried leaving Dexter with a sitter as he is generally very oriented and has anxiety issues. Lynn put us at ease the first day we were away with pictures that showed Dexter was happy and well taken care of. He got lots of attention and walks .We are happy, and sure Dexter was happy with Lynn and her husband. We would defiantly use Lynn again.”
“We brought our dog Rae for her first overnight visit with Jennifer and Winston and today picked up a happy and sleepy puppy so we know she had a great time! Jennifer was always quick to respond and sent messages to let us know how she was doing so at no point was I worried and was able to enjoy my night out. Will definitely be bringing Rae back for more play dates and overnight visits in the future. Thank you for everything, Jennifer and Winston!”
“Faye was incredibly friendly with our puppy! Her own big dog Leo is very well trained. We think our puppy came home better than before we left. We would definitely recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Glen took such good care of our girl while we were away overnight. We received many updates throughout the day and she was comfortable quickly in his home. We will definitely book with Glen again!”
“Courtney and Ryan we're the absolute best care for my dog. I received constant updates and photos of the time Levi spent with them. I know Levi will be thrilled to go back. Thank you so much Courtney and Ryan for looking after my dog like part of your family!”
“I had a major operation on my foot last week and my one concern was where can Willow go for a week while I gather my strength. I chose this one because it had a fenced yard, another dog and it was a house. Rest assured, I went into surgery last week knowing that she was in a good place! Thank you both for watching Willow and for Bella, Willow’s new friend!”
“Kimberly and her husband Kevin are fantastic. Orly had her first overnight and came home tired and happy. I know she gets lots of love and attention. She is looking forward to her next vacation at Kimberly's.”
“We are very happy with the care and attention Yoda gave to our Matilda. At first, we were worried about whether Matilda would feel comfortable with her caregiver, since she is very attached to us, but as soon as she arrived at Yoda’s home, all our worries disappeared. Matilda just wanted to go inside Yoda’s house, and she looked so happy!! We felt very reassured by Yoda’s energy, as she truly radiates her love for animals. She also kept us 100% updated the whole time. It was a wonderful experience.”
“Rebekah and her team were wonderful with our dog Loki! As a dog mom dropping her pup off for the first time they were understanding of my concerns and helped us feel very comfortable leaving him in their care. We will definitely be reaching out to them again!”
“We were a little apprehensive at first to leave our little chihuahua overnight somewhere- but there was no need at all to be. Angela and her family are very kind and kept us in the loop the whole time with lots of pictures and videos. I recommend Angela to everyone. It was a great experience.”
“Liz did an amazing job with our dog, Reese, for 2.5 days. Liz is very friendly and made sure Reese was comfortable. She sent us lots of pictures and it looked like Reese had a great time! I would love to bring Reese back the next time we’re out of town.”
