“Our dog Nova spent the day with Eva and her family. Eva sent some really nice pictures throughout the day, and took really great care of Nova. Nova was definitely tuckered out at the end of the day! Thank you so much for making our very first Rover experience such a great experience!”
“Leaving my dog overnight was a new experience. Judy was patient with me and answered all my questions. She made me feel at ease and confident that my he would be in good hands. She sent me regular updates including photos. She was very attentive whenever I would message to check on him. My dog was happy and in good health when I picked him up. I will definitely be using her service again in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone that's looking for a great sitter.”
“Cindy & Marc are great hosts. We had a change of plan at the last minute and they were very accomodative. Oreo really enjoyed their company. We would definitely take their services in the future too.”
“Gail was awesome, taking care of our dog Wally in her home for 5 days and nights in March 2026. Wally was walked 3x per day, and we felt totally comfortable after an initial meet and greet that Wally would be in good hands while we went on vacation. Gail accommodated an early morning drop off so we could catch our flights. And we got lots of pictures while away which we loved. If you need someone to take care of your dog, and love them like you do, don’t hesitate to contact Gail !”
“Fantastic experience! Onyx was very well taken care of and loved his long walk at the park. Jayson was professional, super responsive on the app, and easy to coordinate with. We highly recommend him and will definitely book again!”
“Bee and Link are two peas in a pod 🫛 I know Bee always has a good time at Priyanka's playing with Link and power napping to recharge for the next time. She's in good hands and we get photos and videos to see she's having a blast”
“Awesome stay, really helped us out! Very much appreciated the daily updates and pictures, it was really comforting to see our dog have fun while we were away.”
“I appreciated the care that my cat Gordon received while he was staying here. I received frequent photos and videos to show what Gordie was up to. When I arrived to pick him up, his belongings were already packed and ready to put into the car. He also appeared to have just woken up from a nap so he must have been pretty relaxed and happy to be there.”
“Bruno is well taken cared of when we leave him with Yani. That’s why we always go to her when we need someone to look after him. She provides updates to is by sending pictures, videos and text messages. Thank you again, Yani!”
“Edward and his family are awesome. They took really good care of Tako while we had to be away and Tako loves them. Couldn't be more happy to have found a 2nd home and family that Tako (and us) love!”
“Alysha and her family were such gracious hosts! She accepted a last minute booking, kept me up to date and accommodated last minute changes. I would absolutely recommend having your fur friend stay with her, I know I will be rebooking again in the future! :)”
“We've never used Rover before, but Madison and Jeffrey have been extremely patient with us and our boy, who is 8 years old and shy with strangers. They send us pics and updates regularly, which is helpful when I worry a lot. They're open to working with our dog's schedule, taking him for walks and letting him have his(overly large) crate to chill out in if he prefers to be there. If you're hesitant about using Rover, reach out to Madison and Jeffrey because they go above and beyond!”
“Norman had the best time getting spoiled by Bren. She was so accommodating, and kind with our senior pup it is obvious she really cares for her pups. Im not sure he wanted to come home! 😁. 100% recommended.”
“Pranit is so good with Maverick. He comes home relaxed and well-mannered, which tells me that Pranit really worked with him to continue our puppy training while we were gone. We get great updates and feel totally confident that Maverick is having a blast with Pranit!”
“Saksham and his partner were very easy to work with. They took good care of Rocky and sent photos throughout the day which kept us at ease. Will surely use their services in the future.”
“Randi did an amazing job looking after my beagle Gus! She sent lots of pictures and updates of their adventures. I felt good knowing I left Gus with someone who really cared for him and made sure he was happy and felt loved. I will definitely bring Gus back to Randi in the future!”
“Andres is the best!! I was unable to walk my dog for a week so he was completely riled up when I left him with Andres for the day. Andres took him for at least 4 one hour walks and when he came home he was finally calmer, even the day afterwards as well. Andres is really saving me as an overwhelmed dog parent! Thank you!!”
“We were thrilled with Melissa’s care of our dog. He is excitable and anxious but appeared happy and calm with her and the other dogs. We think he had a better vacation than we did!!! We wouldn’t hesitate to leave him again and highly recommend Melissa!”
“We left our dog with Qi for 10 days and she is wonderful! Our dog is very attached to our family and can be anxious when staying away from us. Qi was very attentive, caring, and patient with her and provided us with many updates, pictures, and videos. She also made sure to give Molly her medication every night. I would 100% recommend Qi and will definitely use her again in the future! We are so grateful to her for taking such good care of our girl while we were away so we could enjoy our vacation!”

“Rayane is an awesome pet sitter! Super communicative, super sweet and reliable and my cats love her. 💛 She even went as far as accommodating me for a mistake I made during one of her visits (I forgot to give her a key to my front entrance) but she was so awesome about the situation overall. I super recommend her!”
“This was our first time leaving our fur babies and using Rover. We met Sarah before our trip and introduced her to Ollie & Oscar kitties. They took very well to her. She maintained the house and litter box and fed them with care in our absence. We received daily picture and video updates which made us so happy and could tell that they were really warming up to her. I cannot recommend Sarah enough! THANK YOU 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“We had a fantastic experience boarding our cat with Wenge for the day while we were visiting the area. She was responsive and easygoing and it seems Ruby felt at ease in her home. Thanks Wenge!”
“Carina was absolutely amazing with Hennessy and Brandy! 🐾❤️ I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care, and it was so nice being able to relax and not worry about them. She was reliable, caring, and clearly treated them like they were her own. Both dogs were happy and well taken care of, which means everything to me. I would 100% trust Carina with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone wonderful to care for their pets!”
“Phoebe was wonderfully cared for by Lynn! Especially grateful to her for coming over during the holidays and giving Phoebe lots of attention and play time! Thank you Lynn!”
“Megan takes such great care of the boys! When I see pictures of them loving up on her, I just know they know she is a good and safe human. Communication is easy; Megan responds quickly and is very kind. We will for sure request her again.”
“Helped out last minute and was very flexible. Sent cute photos during the day of the boys. Plus she is really friendly. My first time using this service and she made it very easy.”
About: I got my cat since he’s 1 months old, now he’s a healthy cute cat who knows tricks and love human. I moved with him for couple of times, sit lots of cats and help him got through a big surgery that almost kill him. Like I said, I love cat and cat loves me.
“Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!”
“Very pleased with the care Victoria provided to my three cats while housesitting. She stepped in to housesit for my three cats just a couple weeks before we were to leave. The cats are on a somewhat complicated diet, with each one getting a different mix of dry and canned food three times a day, but she managed to get each cat fed appropriately. One of the cats is a nervous recent adoptee, but she was able to coax Shawnee to eat as of the first meal window, and win her over further with some play time later in the day. She also managed the gate that we're currently using to keep the cats separate, and the catio access for Mac and Gus. I received daily reports listing all key facts and some lovely photos. I was nervous about leaving but quickly felt at ease. I arrived home to three happy cats and a house in good order.”
“Aparna was amazing with our pet Smokey. She kept my cat engaged and also fed him on time as he is very particular about his food time and choices. They both bonded so well and she made feel Smokey safe. I would definately recommend her and would reach out again for Smokey.”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Wenge was great with my dog Nutmeg. She was very quick to respond to my questions and gave me several updates about how his day was going. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Neera went for daycare with Alison twice this week. Both times she came home happy and tired from a day of playing and was very excited to go back the second time. All communication was great and we arranged a meet and greet beforehand. I would definitely recommend Alison to anyone looking for some help with their pups.”
“Ruomai always takes wonderful care of our Millie! Super attentive, and provides some videos and pictures throughout the day so we know she is doing well. Always gets her to eat when she is kept through meal times, and makes sure she has a comfortable social experience as well. Millie is always just as excited to come here as she is to come home! Would always recommend.”
“My dog Rupert absolutely loved his stay with Cindy and Marc. You can tell that they’re passionate about animals and take very good care of their client pups. Their yard is an excellent space for your dog to run around and have fun. They made sure to send updates and photos throughout the day to ensure that I knew that my dog was in good hands. Thank you so much for keeping my pup safe and happy!”
“Bren is a great sitter with good communication and transparency about activities. She took berry on a long 3km walk twice, taking care of his activity needs. Provided lots of toys and her own pup is also very friendly. Highly recommend.”
About: I have had pets since I was a small child, mostly dogs and cats but I grew up on a farm so have been around all kinds of animals. I have two families that contact me all the time to watch their pets when they are on vacation and we love to have them join us. I have 5 children who adore animals and who are there to lend a helping hand as well as their space to be a great companion to your pets! I work from home so I am always home with my kids and pets, your pets will never be lonely. They will be so loved and cared for, usually by the second time here they walk right in without even looking back! We will always treat your babies like we treat our own :) I’ve worked from home for many years and will continue to do so for many years to come. I am home 95% of the time throughout the week and on weekends. This leaves me very available to care for and accompany your pet. I have a fully fenced yard, we have lots of space inside and out and love to go on walks. I have 2 dogs that get along well with others and can keep your pets company. My kids will also be there to play with, care for, and show love to your pets everyday.
“Ashley was wonderful with Payesh today! She was caring, attentive, and kept us updated with pictures and notes, which gave us peace of mind. Payesh came back happy and relaxed, we could tell he was well taken care of. Highly recommend Ashley!”
“Sarah is the best. Our dog struggles with anxiety which makes him more challenging than some others when it comes to daycare. Sarah's kind, calm demeanor immediately put Monty at ease. He had a great day with her and came home happy and well exercised.”
About: I have had dogs in my home since I was a young child. My most recent pup was a French Bulldog, who now resides with my parents. I am confident in delivering basic puppy training including walking on a leash, house commands, and behavior. I am an active person who really enjoys hikes and long walks, so if you have a high-energy dog that needs stimulation I am the guy! I work full-time from home and can accommodate dog-sitting, drop-ins, or walks during the day between Mon-Fri. My weekends are available for more sitting, walks, and drop-ins. I can provide boarding at any time! My partner and I do not own any pets but have a no-clutter house that is perfect for a dog of any size. I have a fenced yard (albeit small), end unit townhouse with a larger fenced common area for play and bathroom breaks. In addition, we back onto a larger trail network for lengthy walks.
“Emma was amazing! They took great care of my dog and kept me updated while I was away. Very kind, responsible, and clearly love animals. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend!”
“Laila loves going here. Plays so well with her dog Link. Great backyard for them to run around in. Priyanka is very responsive and I get lots of updates throughout the day.”
About: Helena has taken care of dogs since she was a kid. Together we took care of our friends dogs, and have had two of my own. We have experience with dogs of various sizes and temperaments. Currently we have a puppy in our home, but she is very friendly with dogs. We also have experience taking care of exotic pets like reptiles. We are working from home, so we can supervise pets the whole time. We can do boarding, and daycare, play and spend time with your furry friend. We have a puppy, so your dog will never be lonely or bored :) we make sure to spend time playing, training with the doggies and provide enrichment if they are interested.
“Deborah-Lynn was exactly who we needed to support our three year old Burmese mountain dog mix Frannie. Frannie is cautious around new people and she immediately warmed to Deborah-Lynn and Wheatley. Frannie attended both daycare and boarding and had a great time. We highly recommend her!”
“I am so lucky that I found Jayson. Our dog is usually shy at first, but she clicked with Jayson. He is kind, caring and I feel so relieved when she is with him for doggy daycare. Jayson responds very quickly and communicates very clearly. His dog, Arnold has made our girl feel comfortable, which is amazing, as she can be apprehensive at times. Jayson will provide lots of photos during the day and keeps me updated on her walks (or hangouts in the backyard when it is too hot). His photos are always accompanied by a text, telling me how she is doing, how her walk was, when she had dinner, etc. I love that Jayson always gives off a calm and happy demeanor, because it not only makes our dog comfortable, but I do not worry at all about her while she is there. If you are looking for someone who provides a fun and calm space, a very chill doggy companion, and lots of care, I 100% recommend Jayson as your pet sitter/walker.”
“I honestly can’t recommend Praneet enough. Before meeting him, I had never left Crypto with anyone in the year and a half I’ve had him. Like many dog parents, I have separation anxiety too, so trusting someone with him was a huge step for me. From our very first phone call, Praneet made me feel comfortable and confident. Instead of simply accepting the booking, he suggested a meet-and-greet first. We met at a dog park where Crypto was surrounded by other dogs, and Praneet spent about an hour with us. During that time, he not only got to know Crypto but also taught me so much about dog behaviour and body language. I learned a lot from that one meeting, and it gave me complete confidence in his knowledge and experience. After our meet-and-greet, I booked Crypto for three days of daycare. I honestly started noticing a positive change in his walks within just a day or two. Seeing that progress made me decide to hire Praneet as Crypto’s trainer as well. Crypto is going in for surgery soon, so we’ll be starting our training sessions once he’s fully recovered. The biggest sign for me is how much Crypto loves going there. Every time I tell him we’re going to see Praneet, he gets excited. When I pick him up, he’s always happy, relaxed, and never stressed or panicked. In fact, he even whines when it’s time to leave Praneet! I have to admit, I was a little jealous—but it’s also the best reassurance a dog parent can ask for. Throughout the day, Praneet kept me updated with messages, photos, and videos whenever I asked. He wasn’t just taking care of Crypto—he was also helping me overcome my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Praneet, for taking such amazing care of Crypto. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about dogs the way you do. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring sitter or trainer. You are truly the best .. I can’t thank you enough. Crypto and I are both lucky to have found you—even if I’m still a little jealous that he doesn’t want to leave you! 😄”
“Camila and her husband were very accommodating with last minute daycare for our senior dog Jasmine. This was Jasmine’s first stay at their home as her regular sitter was unavailable. They sent pictures throughout the day. Our dog however is anxious in nature and peed several times in their home. I apologize for that Camila, and appreciate you being so helpful in accommodating us. Thank you.”
About: I've cared for my own two Shih/Poo dogs for 16 years. I recently said goodbye to my grand dog of 12 years. She was a Poodle/Schnauzer. My daughter is a vet tech with 10 years experience. I miss them all. I'm retired! I am at home all day and available any day of the week. Preferably 11am-11pm. I like walking and will play with your dog. I have a crate 4x3' if you crate your dog in the night time. I love to walk and perhaps your dog does too. The more I know about your furbaby, the better.

“Michelle is fantastic! Noodle absolutely loves her and enjoys their walks together. It was our first time using a dog walker and she made me feel comfortable right off the bat. 100% recommend using Michelle.”
About: I have been a pet parent all of my life. I grew up on a farm with every sort of animal. My parents bred Dachshunds and American Eskimos. Currently, I am mom to a rescued Frenchie girl with a heart murmur. She has a Grade 3 of 6 heart murmur which makes me especially familiar with special needs animals. Being a Frenchie mom also means that I am aware of the special needs of Brachycephalic dog breeds (especially during the hot summer months). I worked in a privately owned holistic pet store for more than four years helping customers find the right food, treats and remedies for their fur babies. There is no more satisfying feeling than the results of the help I provided. Seeing the transformation of the fur baby and the happiness that it brought to their pet parent ❤️ I also fostered for Niagara Dog Rescue for a brief period before finding my forever girls. I dealt with dogs with behavioural issues and showed them that not all humans hurt or leave. No request or care detail is ever overlooked. Post walk paw cleaning, face fold cleaning, special post walk treats... Clean water from a freshly washed bowl. Whatever your pup needs will be done. I practice Cesar Millan's techniques and am a calm and confident walker. However; I also know how super important it is for pups to have the opportunity for enrichment through sniffing. All dogs are the cute, cuddle kind. I can't wait to meet yours! I'm home full time other than when walking or checking on fur friends. Your fur family will be able to get as much time and love as they need while you are out/away. In my home, your fur babies become adopted family and will be given the freedom to roam and cuddle wherever they like. If your fur baby needs the safe space of a crate, that is completely doable.
About: I’ve always been the person who ends up spending more time with dogs than people. 😊 I have about 2 years of experience caring for dogs through family, friends and clients, and I have my own dog who has taught me so much about patience, routines and understanding dogs for who they are. I’ve cared for small and large dogs, high-energy dogs, seniors, anxious dogs, strong pullers and multiple dogs at once. I’m very active, so I’m happy to keep up with dogs who need lots of exercise, but I’m just as happy with a chill pup who wants company and cuddles. I’m very careful about following routines, feeding instructions and dietary restrictions. Most importantly, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and will treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. ❤️ Check out the photos of the pups I’ve cared for 🧡 Would love to add your pup to the bunch! I work full-time from home Monday to Friday, which gives me lots of flexibility for walks and drop-ins throughout the day, especially in the mornings, around lunch and in the evenings. If I’m house sitting, I can also work from your home, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets while you’re away. I’m also available on weekends! Your pet’s safety and routine are extremely important to me. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding at a certain time, dietary restrictions, medications, exercise or house rules. I’m also very careful about what I give dogs and prefer safe, durable toys and healthy, usually single-ingredient treats (with your permission, of course!). I always check collars and harnesses before walks and adjust outdoor activities for extreme heat or cold. If anything ever seems wrong, I’ll contact you right away, keep you updated and follow your instructions for veterinary or emergency care. You can also expect regular photos and updates so you know your pet is happy and being well cared for. ❤️
“Alex has been absolutely great with our 7 year old pit heeler, Moon. Normally, Moon takes awhile to warm up to strangers, but with Alex, there was a bond from Day 1. Alex is fantastic: reliable and on time - rain, snow or shine, courteous and goes above and beyond in their daily 1 hour walks. So happy to find you, Alex! Many thanks to you, from Moon’s family! ❤️”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up in a house full of dogs, and caring for animals has always been a natural and important part of my life. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve had many years of experience loving and caring for dogs. I’ve also been a cat mom for the past 15+ years, so I’m pretty comfortable with both dogs and cats! I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for them when you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, attention, and respect that I would want for my own. Whether they need a walk, some playtime, extra cuddles, or simply a calm and caring presence, I’d love the opportunity to help your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible part-time job, I have a schedule that allows me to be available during the day. I love that Rover gives me the opportunity to spend more time with animals while also working around my family’s schedule. I’m able to offer daytime walks, drop-ins, and plenty of attention and companionship for pets who need some extra love while their families are busy. I know that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets is a big responsibility, and I don’t take that trust lightly. I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pets, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pets and your home are in caring, responsible, and trustworthy hands while you’re away.
“Grace is wonderful with Fred. Patient as he is 8mo. and a large breed dog.They are a great fit and I’m sure will become best buds. It also puts me at ease that caring for animals is her chosen profession outside of Dog walking and daycare. We look forward to using her in the future.Best puppy regards ! Kelly, Ken and Fred.”
About: I've work in multiple animal hospitals taking care of range of ages of pets from senior to barely a week old kittens. I understand the gentle nature you must have when taking care of your fur babies. My neighbor has a beautiful 16 year old cat that I take care of and at times he can have some accidents and I always do my best not just cleaning up the mess but also bathing him to make sure he stays nice a clean. Family friends have put their trust in me for taking care of their senior German shepherd while on vacation making sure she got the attention and the proper exercise while away. Each pet is unique and have their own special requirements, some need to run for miles, other's are couch potatoes and I'm capable of meeting either needs. Whether it's a nice jog or stroll, learning/reinforcing commands. I also understand that some dogs can be anxious and need time to warm up to knew people or have routines that help ease them. With my work in clinics I experienced working one on one with anxious rescues and learned how to work with them to help making them more comfortable with strangers in the clinic. At the end of the day I want to give you pets the best experience I can and treat them like my own while they're in my care. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment giving me plenty of time to take care of your fur babies, even evening too rain or shine. I'd first want to know if there's and house rules for your pets (no siting on the couch, certain areas of the house that could be off limits, timing for if they go in a crate at night). I'd want to spend as much time as I could with them getting their energy out or if their more the type to lay with you on the couch. I would always amke sure their water bowl stays full and make sure they dont get into anything while you're gone. I'd also could take garbage and recycling out if needed while you're away.
“Tilley and Karen were fast friends ! She responded promptly and was accommodating of our last minute request. She was patient, knowledgeable and willing to work on her in walk training. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, thanks for stopping by my profile ☺️ I’m Sindokht, 32 years old. I work remotely and have a deep love for animals I grew up around all kinds of pets since childhood, and as an adult we had a family dog, and I’ve had a cat of my own. On other pet sitting apps, I’ve cared for animals for extended stays, from 10 days to a full month, and I have 15+ five star reviews. I’ve been lucky to meet wonderful families along the way. My priority is making sure you feel completely at ease while you’re traveling or away for work. While you’re gone, I’ll send photos and videos, and I genuinely enjoy the time spent with my new furry friend☺️ Through my pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for over 25 different dog breeds , as well as senior dogs and puppies. My father was a colonel, and I’m his daughter through and through so rest assured, your dog’s routine will be maintained exactly the way you want it 😄 I’ll leave your home just as clean as I found it honestly, probably cleaner! Languages: English, persian, French Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible.

About: I absolutely love dogs and am home a lot of the time so Im able to take care of your family member while you are not home! I have over 18 years dog experience as I grew up with them and now have one of my own . I love interacting with animals while maintaining the owners regular training techniques. As I mentioned I do have a dog myself and we go potty very frequently so that will be no issue if your furry friend needs frequent potty breaks. Willing to accept any age as I love them all. I look forward to meeting you furry friend and providing a safe environment for them. I live in a house with a large fenced in backyard so I have lots of room if you have a hyper pup!
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was six years old. I’ve had all types of dogs. My first was a Golden Retriever, then a Doberman, a, Shitzhu, a pitbull, and I currently have two 8-yr old Australian Shepherds. I’ve also had the pleasure of watching, training, feeding, playing, walking, hiking, checking in on many of my friends, family and neighbours dogs over the years. I’ve also had experience with shepherds, Chihuahuas, American bulldogs, and Dalmatians. I’m currently working part-time so I will be available most days before 10am and after 4PM. Otherwise, on weekends, I will be completely available for services. Calm and respectfully, I usually take them out for a good walk to get some energy out of them and then I like to feed and then play with them.
About: Hi! I'm Taya, a 37-year-old lifelong dog owner offering dog walking, pet sitting, and in-home pet care in KW and the surrounding area. I've spent my life raising large breeds, and the dogs that have shaped me most weren't the easy ones. I know from personal experience the anxiety that comes with finding a trusted person to take care of and understand the needs of a strong and reactive dog. My Cane Corso (147 lbs) was reactive — dogs, bicycles, scooters, you name it — and together we developed what I call defensive walking: staying proactive, reading the environment ahead, and keeping situations calm before they escalate. I know how to manage powerful dogs on a leash and how to advocate for reactive dogs in the real world. My Rottweiler had seizures, which means I'm also experienced in recognizing and responding to seizure episodes and comfortable administering medication on a schedule or in an emergency. I don't panic — I've been there. What I offer: Dog walking (including reactive and large breed dogs) Pet sitting at your home Medication administration if required I'm a responsible, experienced dog person who understands that your dog isn't just a pet. I am currently unemployed by choice. I have spent a few years in Australia and recently returned to Canada. I have all the time to dedicate towards pet care. I have a fully fenced yard with my home, with no other animals here. At your home, I will follow your rules. Pats and cuddles on the couch if it's allowed; if not, we will sit on the floor and cuddle.
About: Hey, my name is Lucas! I wanted to expand my love for animals by pet sitting on Rover and have fun. I’ve grown up with many dogs; most of which have been beagles, and I currently own a cat that I have had for over 5 years. I have been trusted by family and friends to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets for as long as I can remember. I have also contributed my time at the local humane society :) I am a full-time university student and part-time restaurant worker, and would like to help out your pet in the morning or late at night! I have a large fenced backyard for your pet to enjoy, and I have one friendly cat in the house. The inside is clean, safe, and spacious. I look forward to welcoming and caring for your pet(s)!

“Leaving my dog overnight was a new experience. Judy was patient with me and answered all my questions. She made me feel at ease and confident that my he would be in good hands. She sent me regular updates including photos. She was very attentive whenever I would message to check on him. My dog was happy and in good health when I picked him up. I will definitely be using her service again in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone that's looking for a great sitter.”
“Gail was awesome, taking care of our dog Wally in her home for 5 days and nights in March 2026. Wally was walked 3x per day, and we felt totally comfortable after an initial meet and greet that Wally would be in good hands while we went on vacation. Gail accommodated an early morning drop off so we could catch our flights. And we got lots of pictures while away which we loved. If you need someone to take care of your dog, and love them like you do, don’t hesitate to contact Gail !”
“Bee and Link are two peas in a pod 🫛 I know Bee always has a good time at Priyanka's playing with Link and power napping to recharge for the next time. She's in good hands and we get photos and videos to see she's having a blast”
“Awesome stay, really helped us out! Very much appreciated the daily updates and pictures, it was really comforting to see our dog have fun while we were away.”
“Edward and his family are awesome. They took really good care of Tako while we had to be away and Tako loves them. Couldn't be more happy to have found a 2nd home and family that Tako (and us) love!”
“We've never used Rover before, but Madison and Jeffrey have been extremely patient with us and our boy, who is 8 years old and shy with strangers. They send us pics and updates regularly, which is helpful when I worry a lot. They're open to working with our dog's schedule, taking him for walks and letting him have his(overly large) crate to chill out in if he prefers to be there. If you're hesitant about using Rover, reach out to Madison and Jeffrey because they go above and beyond!”
“Pranit is so good with Maverick. He comes home relaxed and well-mannered, which tells me that Pranit really worked with him to continue our puppy training while we were gone. We get great updates and feel totally confident that Maverick is having a blast with Pranit!”
“Saksham and his partner were very easy to work with. They took good care of Rocky and sent photos throughout the day which kept us at ease. Will surely use their services in the future.”
“We were thrilled with Melissa’s care of our dog. He is excitable and anxious but appeared happy and calm with her and the other dogs. We think he had a better vacation than we did!!! We wouldn’t hesitate to leave him again and highly recommend Melissa!”
“My experience with this sitter was flawless. She was quick to respond, very accommodating with scheduling, pick up, and drop-off times, and sent regular updates. I felt like my dog was in great hands with her.”
About: I have a innate love of animals. Large or small, confident or timid, young or old, they all have a place in my heart. I am patient, adaptable and calm even when others may not be. My critical thinking skills help me to troubleshoot any situation your pet might challenge me with. I always look for a win-win outcome. Your pets walk and play time every day is an important part of their lives, and I look forward to spending my time with them. Georgia is an American Staffy that we rescued last year, at approximately 1 years old. Since then we have focused on all levels of training, including agility, to help deal with her reactivity. We have made tremendous progress over the last year with her. I am available between 7 and 6 Monday to Saturday. Sundays and holidays can also be accommodated. My flexible schedule means that I can provide care on your schedule. I know that timing and routine are important to your pet and yourself, and I am punctual and dependable. I understand how important the safety of your furry friend is to you. Should your pet join us in our home, they will have the opportunity to enjoy our fully fenced back yard during play time. During walking times, there are many lovely trails and pathways in our quiet residential neighborhood that we can enjoy together.
“Our dog went to stay with Deborah-Lynn while my husband was recovering from surgery. She frequently checked in and gave us updates about how he was doing and what he was doing. Our dude seemed happy, engaged and well taken care of. She provided lots of mental and physical stimulation for the dogs. We look forward to his next visit!”
“Aparna was amazing as always! Clover enjoyed her stay and had lots of fun with Mazy. Aparna is very responsive and kept us informed throughout Clover’s entire stay. Would highly recommend!”
“Camila and her family were fantastic with our dogs with constant communication and update photos and videos with our last-minute stay. They were very accommodating and gave soo much love to Bailey and Bear. They came home happy and tired! Can't thank them enough for the care they gave our fur babies!”
“Grace was perfect for what I needed. I'm from out of town and I had a wedding to go to. I brought the dogs with me, intending on leaving them with a friend for the night, but that didn't work out and I needed a sitter ASAP. Grace stepped up, I brought the dogs over, quickly gave an overview, and had to race off. The dogs did well with Grace and she was super accommodating to my last minute schedule. The next morning was also up in the air as far as timing and picking up the dogs, but Grace was flexible. Aces all around!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care provided by Suhaana & Robert for my dog, Otto! They were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Communication was clear and prompt, and they made me feel completely at ease leaving Otto in their hands. During the 6 hours they spent with him, they went above and beyond—keeping him entertained and comfortable. They even sent me updates and adorable photos and videos, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave me peace of mind. When I returned, Otto was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. It’s rare to find sitters who are not only reliable but genuinely love what they do. I highly recommend Suhaana & Robert to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitters. Otto and I are looking forward to booking with them again!”
