“Our dog Moose is 6yrs old and this was his first time away from us, so naturally we were a little nervous. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Xiangwen was amazing and kept us updated throughout Moose’s entire stay with lots of photos and videos. Seeing how happy and comfortable he was made us feel so much more at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We’re incredibly happy with the care, attention, and love Moose received. We will definitely be booking with Xiangwen again, she is amazing!! 🐾❤️”
“Woody was naughty when he came over but you were patient with him and cared for well. You made us feel comfortable that Woody will be in good hands Thankful for your kindness and help Yue.”
“Jin took excellent care of our little dog, Boba. We were initially anxious about leaving her behind but we appreciated how Jin sent us an update and photos immediately after drop off to let us know that our fur baby was settling down nicely. This gesture put our minds at ease and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Additionally, Jin sent us updates and photos multiple times a day. Honestly, Boba may have looked happier in Jin's care than ours. She was smiling brightly, asking for belly rubs, hanging out with Muffin (Jin's dog), and frolicking in the backyard.”

Thank you for taking such great care of her .”
“Kelly and her family is very experienced on dogs. Coco had great time during her stay and I have to say she was kept quite clean, giving she's a samoyed that's all white. Kelly also sent short videos and pictures that gave us peace in mind while we were away. Thanks very much! We will utilize the service in the future for sure.”
“We literally cannot say enough about how good the care was for our 2 frenchies! Carrie and family took amazing care of them with frequent walks and play. I never once had to ask how they were doing as Carrie provided multiple updates everyday with lots of pictures and videos. We highly recommend her and would use her again in a heartbeat! Can't thank her enough for the stress free 2 weeks she provided us!”
“Li was an amazing dog sitter for our Teddy! She always responded very quickly to messages and communicated very clearly. She took care of our dog so well bringing him out on multiple walks and activities daily and updated frequently with pictures. Her house is very clean and dog friendly. I could tell she cared for him like he was her own dog. Definitely recommend using her! We will be using her again if we go on another trip.”
“Patricia took good care of Blue. Took her for walks, followed Blues schedule and kept me informed of how Blue was doing. Would deff. Board Blue again with Patricia”
“Caroline is the best. She loves my dog, who loves her and her dog too. Simber races to greet her, and runs into her house when we arrive. It's so reassuring to know that my dog is having a wonderful time, when I am gone.”
“Amy is an outstanding sitter! She's just amazing. She is super prompt and communicative. She picked up adi and dropped her off.

I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Ling, Emily and their family were absolutely amazing watching our dog, Rudy. Rudy settled in quickly and was so spoiled with love, pets and walks!

Thank you guys so much for making our first experience with Rover a success! He can’t wait to stay with you again ??”
“I’ve used Manni more than once now and Zack is always happy, relaxed, and clearly very comfortable with her. She sends regular updates and photos, pays attention to his routines and personality, and makes the whole process very easy from drop-off through pickup. Most importantly, I never have to worry about him while I’m away. It’s obvious she genuinely enjoys having him around, and he trusts her. Reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and very accommodating. I’d happily book with her again and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone reliable and caring to look after their pet.”
“We have been so grateful for having Laura take such good care of our pet! We got constant visual and textual updates and it was clear that our Milo had a very good time. Plenty of walks and play. It was also incredibly convenient how flexible and Laura was when we needed to extend his stay by a substantial amount of time. It couldn’t have gone better :)”
About: We crate-trained our Shiba Inu since puppyhood with patience and walked him to release the energy so well until he became famous of his gentleness among our neighborhood. He likes to make friends with other dogs and to play with them. I am working for my own project with freedom of time arrangement, while my wife takes most of time working from home during the weekdays, so we have flexibility to take dogs for walk during mornings, evenings and even nights before bedtime. Sometimes we go to dog park or trails nearby if your dog just has a bored day. Our condo unit is cozy enough with a large living room with giant carpets on the floor, so the pets can run around and play safely on soft and cozy ground. We do also have a large balcony with high glass fence as extended play area for larger dogs.
“Satheeskumar was very friendly and accommodating. I was hesitant to leave my dog with anyone but he made sure my dog was comfortable, happy and well taken care of! He was always in contact sending photos/videos so I knew how my dog was doing. For my first time using the app and services, I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for boarding!”

“Wai Ming was a fantastic sitter for our cat Wicket! He was very understanding of her needs and gave her space when she needed it. It built trust and I could tell Wicket enjoyed her time and felt safe.”
“Angela was beyond wonderful. Our cat, Mina, has medical needs which make it a challenge for others to watch her. Angela went above and beyond in helping her feel comfortable and was able to tend to her needs. She truly cared for Mina as if she were her own. Could not recommend Angela more. ❤️”
“Wing was wonderful to work with and easy to communicate with. She was great with Ryder, and he seemed to take to her right away. Thanks so much for your service and going above and beyond. I hope to reach out again during my next travels.”
About: I’ve taken care of younger cats, but have the patience and understanding for older cats as well. I started fostering two years ago and helped find homes for 8 cats. From the street to their furever homes!
About: I have experience caring for cats, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I’d be happy to help look after your furry friends. I’m also good at doing nail trims, but I wouldn’t recommend it until he or she is fully comfortable with me — it’s always their choice. I know cats need a lot of patience and time to build trust, and I’m happy to give them both.
About: I’ve cared for cats for several years, including my own when I was younger. I’m comfortable cleaning litter boxes, playing with cats, and creating a calm, friendly environment so they feel safe and relaxed.
About: I have many years of experience caring for cats and even rescued palliative cats to give them a good home prior to their passing for 3 years. I can do in home sitting, or drop in visits, but would not be able to board any cats in my home at this time unfortunately
About: With great dedication and sensitivity, I have been devoted to caring for cats, especially those facing physical challenges or with special needs. I believe that all felines deserve love, respect, and individualized attention. Whether administering medications, adapting environments to facilitate mobility, or simply offering affection, I am always willing to provide the best possible care for these adorable four-legged companions. 🐾❤️
About: I'm a proud mom of two cats with 2 years of hands-on cat care experience. I hold a Red Cross pet first aid certificate and am currently studying toward a feline behavior consultant certification. I'm experienced in reading cat body language and behavior cues, and I know how to respond to common health situations — from tummy troubles to stress signals. Your cat will get patient, attentive care, plenty of playtime, and a calm, safe environment. I also send regular photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing!
“Joanna is very sweet and does this for the animals! You can tell her care as she is eager to go the extra mile to make sure they have lots of love and fun. Joanna is also very punctual, and follows instructions well. Any confusion and she will ask, which is what you want.”
About: I do my best to make cats have happy and fulfilled lives! It is fulfilling for me personally to make sure my cats and, hopefully, yours are fed, clean, played with, well rested, and comfortable!

“This was my first time leaving my to dogs with a sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! One of my dogs wasn’t feeling his best and needed some special feeding instructions, and she followed them perfectly and made sure he was well taken care of. She was incredibly trustworthy and kept me updated constantly, which gave me so much peace of mind. I was worried that my dogs would be anxious given that it’s their first time with a sitter, but they were both so happy and comfortable with her. I felt completely confident knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again ❤️❤️”
“We are delighted to have found a home away from home for our energetic lab. Kelso was welcomed by Michelle, her husband and 2 dogs upon arrival and he didn't look back. He had such a great time of the first day with lots of exercise on their large property and lots of attention from their loving family. He came home happy and tired. The second day we took him back he could not contain his excitement driving into their driveway and pulled me to their door the second he got out of the car. Michelle forwarded great pictures and videos and was super responsive with all communications. Kelso can't wait to go back for his next visit!”
About: My husband and I are passionate dog lovers and have been caring for pets of all sizes for over 5 years. We truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are in our care. We have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever who is very friendly and loves being around both dogs and people. He is well-socialized and enjoys having furry friends around. We train him at home and have worked on basic obedience, manners, and good behavior. We understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and needs. We are happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule, including walks, playtime, feeding routines, and plenty of love and attention. Our goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away. My husband and I both work from home, which gives us a flexible schedule and allows us to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. We are able to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. We have a dog-friendly home where dogs are welcome to roam freely and feel comfortable rather than being kept in a separate room or confined for long periods. Our own Golden Retriever is part of our family and enjoys having other dogs around. Because we work from home, we can provide companionship throughout the day and keep a close eye on your pet. We are happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed, safe, and at home while staying with us. We treat every pet like a member of our family. Since my husband and I both work from home, your pet will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. Dogs are welcome to roam freely around our home and relax wherever they feel comfortable. We follow each pet’s individual routine for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. We also provide plenty of love, cuddles, and supervised playtime, especially with our friendly 3-year-old Golden Retriever. Our home is a calm, loving, and pet-friendly environment, and we always make your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness our priority.
“Heidi is awesome. This is the 1st time using the app, Heidi walked us through her process which made us feel very comfortable, she took notes of Nova's needs, she sent regular pictures, videos and updates on Nova's stay. I will highly recommend Heidi to anyone.”
About: We are a family with two teens, plus one friendly, goofy Bernese Mountain Dog who would love a playmate for a few days. Archie is almost 9 years old but still has some spunk! He is very friendly and loves company. He gets walked at least twice per day and gets lots of attention from our kids, as would any of our visiting dogs. Our home is three floors with a fenced in backyard, and we live in close proximity to great walking trails. We also have a crate that can be used if your pet prefers to sleep in one. We are experienced and loving dog owners, whose kids regularly ask that we get a second dog. I recently became unemployed but enjoy the company of animals very much and want to take advantage of my time away from the corporate world. Dogs who board with us will enjoy at least two walks a day. Our backyard is fenced, our kids are grown and our dog likes company and walks twice a day. We live on a quiet street near Main St Unionville. Note: we have a swimming pool
About: As a dog parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I offer a cozy home environment and welcome just one guest dog at a time, so I can get to know their personality and give them individual attention. My Goldendoodle, Dexter, is friendly and playful. We arrange a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure both dogs feel comfortable together. I’m home most of the time and enjoy sharing photos and little updates, so you can see how your dog is settling in. I welcome small and medium-sized dogs and take time to learn their usual routines, favourite activities and comfort needs. I’m home most of the time, so dog care fits naturally into my daily routine. I can plan my day around regular potty breaks, meals, walks, playtime and quiet rest. Before each stay, we’ll discuss your dog’s usual schedule and how they cope with being left alone, so you know what to expect. Your dog will stay in my home with me and Dexter, with access to a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor breaks and play. I welcome only one guest dog at a time and supervise interactions, with separate spaces for meals and rest when needed. A meet-and-greet is required before the first booking. Please provide up-to-date vaccination records and let me know about any health or behaviour concerns. To help keep both dogs well, I’m unable to accept dogs with symptoms of a contagious illness. Please bring your dog’s usual food, leash, and any bedding or comfort items they enjoy. Treats or homemade meal extras are offered only with your permission, after we discuss any allergies or dietary restrictions.
“We’re so grateful to Sam for taking such good care of our dog for the day. She was patient, attentive, and genuinely caring, which gave us so much peace of mind. She shared so many photos and videos throughout the day, which we truly appreciated and loved seeing. Our pup came home relaxed and happy — the best sign! We’d happily trust Sam again and truly appreciate the care she gave.”
About: I have taken care of different dogs for a long time. Many friends who lived in my neighborhood have asked me to walk their pets. My wife and I are both working from home full time and thus we both have full time's worth of schedule available for taking care of my own and other's pets. I have a roomy house and a fenced backyard, as well as a friendly dog of my own to ensure your dog is safe and happy.
“Lisa and Kam looked after Freddie and Benson for us today, from the moment I dropped them off I received a video of them playing and being comfortable and I knew they would enjoy themselves . I was sent pictures and walking videos throughout the day. She was quick to respond to my msgs and was really nice . I have no problems leaving my dogs with them again . And I look forward to it . Thanks again Lisa .”
About: Experienced in taking care of dogs and cats, especially rescue dogs and nervous pets. I am always patient to pets as we know they have their own personalities and feelings, we respect them. We don’t ‘own’ a pet, we are responsible for taking good care of them. We respect them and listen to them🫶🏼💕 Due to safety concern, please note that I can only accept dogs at or below 50lbs. Thank you! I am currently working as a full time 9am-5pm, 4 days a week in office. My partner can help look after dogs and cats when I am not at home. I have a fenced patio and a big den that they are free to stay. I have a foster dog home and she is super calm and friendly to other animals, with great potential to be a therapy dog.
“Thank you again for babysitting Mastani! When we were walking back to the car, she started crying a little and was pulling on her leash—she didn’t want to come home! I quickly asked “Wanna go for a walk?” and she stopped crying, and began sniffing her way into the car. ❤️”
About: I started this after my own dog had a difficult boarding experience, and I never wanted other pets to feel that way. Being away from my own dog, I truly miss that companionship, which is why I love spending time caring for other dogs. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where every dog feels at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine as I prioritize walks, feeding, playtime, and regular check-ins. I am available for both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s specific needs and routine. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where your dog will feel comfortable and cared for. I closely supervise all pets, ensure regular walks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of playtime and attention. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and any special needs. I can also separate or crate dogs if needed to ensure safety. Your dog will be treated with patience, care, and love—just like my own.
“Iggy felt so safe with Kumar that made me jealous. Iggy did not eat when we left him with previous sitters for to 3 days. Iggy felt so at home and comfortable with Kumar,that he ate at the same time with Capo. Iggy share kisses to Kumar and his son, kisses that used to be for our family only...I guess we have an extended family with Kumar and his family 😊”

“My Diego (Goldendoodle, 10 months old, standard size, 60 lbs, full of energy) stayed with Patricia on May 24th. Diego must had a great time cause he came back exhausted!! Which we then had an early peaceful and relaxing evening. I'm also glad that Patricia has another pet, since Diego doesn't get enough socializing! Will definitely use Patricia's service again!!”

“Abhishek is simply the best! Not only are the walks consistent, but he has also been incredibly accommodating to our schedule. Maggi is always looking forward to go for walk with him.”
About: ONLY 1 fur friend each time. Pets are families. They deserve love and care. My mom had a cat, we play, eat, sleep together. He taught me how to enjoy life no matter what you have experienced or experiencing. My friend had a dog, I always go visit. We played and went out for walks often. Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her. Loves hiking when weather permits,5km min. For 🐶 will provide daily walking data so you know how long we walked and how much energy we burned. We will go out for a walk in the morning time, lunch time and dinner time. More short 15-20 potty breaks in between as well. 3 times of walking of 30 min would be by default. On weekends will go hiking with 5km min. I lived in a pet friendly condo and the neighborhood is very quiet to take a walk. There are two community parks nearby to visit. When walking in the neighborhood and condo, will always meet at least 1 or 2 pet friend.
“I’ve been using Bernice’s dog walking service for several weeks now (it’s probably been almost 2 months??). I couldn’t be happier with her. She is very accommodating, kind, friendly, and great with my dogs. One of my dogs, Rui, has a very traumatic past and is slow to trust. The first time Bernice walked my dogs, Rui didn’t want to follow her out the building AT ALL! I was worried I might have been forcing Rui into this and that having a stranger walk her might be more traumatic than beneficial. But by the third walk, they were best friends. Rui takes a VERY long time to trust anyone, so if this isn’t proof of how great Bernice is with dogs, not sure what is!”
About: My journey started as a shelter/foster volunteer, caring for cats before I had one of my own — from playful kittens to senior cats who need a slower pace and extra patience. I've been a cat mom for 5+ years — including relocating internationally with my cat — and I've provided dedicated cat care through TrustedHousesitters. My specialty is cats: reading their body language, adjusting to each personality and life stage, and keeping their routine calm and consistent while you're away. I'm also comfortable and experienced with dogs, having grown up around my grandma's dogs of different sizes and temperaments — happy to offer reliable, attentive walks alongside my cat services. I work from home, so your cat gets real company and supervision throughout the day — not a rushed morning/evening visit. Flexible timing for feeding, play, and check-ins, or quiet companionship if that's what your cat prefers. Spacious, clean, quiet townhouse — calm and pet-safe. Boarding cats get their own private room with 24/7 camera monitoring, equipped with cat tree and toys, a window view, and zero contact with other animals. No resident pets sharing the space. 🚑 Emergency plan: If anything seems off, I contact you immediately. If we can't reach each other right away, I'll bring your cat straight to your designated vet — or the nearest emergency vet clinic if it's after-hours. I'm happy to sign a vet authorization form at booking so I can act fast if needed.
“Thank you so much again, both of you 🙏 For helping walk Caeser tonight! It was great meeting Fuji as well 🐾🥰 I'm sure they both had fun and will definitely book with you again in the future!”

About: Hello! I’m Seray! I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for a very long time. Although I possess years of experience and skill taking care of cats, I work at a shelter where I deal with all types of dogs. I bring lots of medical and training knowledge as a supervisor at an animal shelter. If you need someone to administer medication to your animal, keep them company, walk them or train your new pet, I will be glad to help! On my days off (usually weekdays) or when I am back from work; I’m glad to provide care for your pets. Usually early mornings or late evenings, feel free to message me for other times. I always recommend crate training to dog owners and a safe space for cats to frequent in emergency situations. Training your pet to gather at a muster point is so beneficial. I always pet proof and remove garbage, food and chemicals away from surfaces they can access. I also avoid giving dogs bones without supervision as it can cause choking or dental fractures. I always keep the door closed and am very careful with door routine. I always provide a detailed report of the walk at the end of the shift in addition to stool score and medical concerns.

We don’t have pet and your pet will be the ONLY VIP guest in my home. No stress from other dogs, 100% focused attention. My approach is built on reliability and structure: • Routine Consistency: We strictly follow your feeding schedules, and potty breaks to minimize anxiety and house training accidents. • Safety First: Walks are always leash-secure and planned around quieter, low-traffic routes in our immediate neighborhood. My priority is preventing incidents, not reacting to them. • Clear Communication: You will receive detailed photo and written updates daily, covering their mood, appetite, and activity level. I’m a part-time graduate student. So I’m home most of the time. I also have a car and can drive to places needed. Here are the key blocks: • Mornings (7-1 PM): Structured walk, meal prep, and supervised rest during my focus work/study hours. • Afternoons (1-5 PM): Potty breaks, and active companionship from my partner and me. • Evenings (5 PM On): Dinner, a longer structured walk, and quiet wind-down time before bed. In short: Your dog receives attentive care. Consistency and safety are our priorities. Me and my partner live in a house without pets. Unlike sitters who manage multiple dogs from different homes, I limit bookings to one family's pet at a time, ensuring 100% focused attention and minimizing external unsafe factors. Although I have a fenced backyard, for maximum safety and security, I do NOT leave dogs unsupervised in the backyard. All outdoor time consists of active, leashed walks in our beautiful, quiet neighborhood. This ensures zero risk of escape and keeps your pup clean and safe.
About: I had dogs with me since I was 5 years old. I took care of my dogs for more than 20 years. I had 3 dogs at the same time in the past. I don’t have any dogs now since the last one passed away. I have learned a little basic dog grooming before, so all my dogs were groomed by me. I love to play with them, take care of them and train them. I am highly responsible when it comes to taking care of dogs. Most of the time I will be at home. I can pay extra attention on them and try to minimise their homesickness when they are apart from you. I’m living in a house with a fenced yard and in a quiet area. They will have freedom living in my house. I will make them feel like they are at home. And I will take them out for walks everyday. I will be more than happy to send you pictures if you needed. I will make sure they are safe, cared for and exercised. And I am willing to fulfil your requests. Requested information about your dog: 1. Is the vaccination up to date? 2. Does your dog get along with the other dogs and kid? 3. Is your dog toilet trained? I’m working at home so my time is more flexible. I can follow your feeding and toilet routine flexibility. It can help to minimise its separate anxiety. I have experienced living with dogs so I understand each dog has its own personality and food allergies. So I will follow your instructions to make sure to keep them safe and happy

About: My husband and I are passionate dog lovers and have been caring for pets of all sizes for over 5 years. We truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are in our care. We have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever who is very friendly and loves being around both dogs and people. He is well-socialized and enjoys having furry friends around. We train him at home and have worked on basic obedience, manners, and good behavior. We understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and needs. We are happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule, including walks, playtime, feeding routines, and plenty of love and attention. Our goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away. My husband and I both work from home, which gives us a flexible schedule and allows us to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. We are able to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. We have a dog-friendly home where dogs are welcome to roam freely and feel comfortable rather than being kept in a separate room or confined for long periods. Our own Golden Retriever is part of our family and enjoys having other dogs around. Because we work from home, we can provide companionship throughout the day and keep a close eye on your pet. We are happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed, safe, and at home while staying with us. We treat every pet like a member of our family. Since my husband and I both work from home, your pet will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. Dogs are welcome to roam freely around our home and relax wherever they feel comfortable. We follow each pet’s individual routine for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. We also provide plenty of love, cuddles, and supervised playtime, especially with our friendly 3-year-old Golden Retriever. Our home is a calm, loving, and pet-friendly environment, and we always make your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness our priority.
“Ling, Emily and their family were absolutely amazing watching our dog, Rudy. Rudy settled in quickly and was so spoiled with love, pets and walks! They sent loads of pictures and gave us fantastic updates the week we were gone, which we very much appreciated. We 100% trust Ling, Emily and their family with Rudy!! Thank you guys so much for making our first experience with Rover a success! He can’t wait to stay with you again ??”
“Shirley was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time leaving our pup Cola with non-family and Shirley was so reassuring. She sent us regular updates with lots of pictures and even slept with Cola on the couch every night to make sure she wasn’t scared in a new place. She took her on lots of walks and gave her so much love. It’s clear that she is very experienced with dogs and really cares. Thank you Shirley!!”

It was clear Kallie was treated like part of the family and settled in quickly We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again with Joey and Dez and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

Thank you so much Kenneth!!”

“Susan and her family are very experienced and caring dog sitters. Really appreciate her updates, how she helped us with flexible timelines and took great care of our dog.”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Allyson (& her daughter and 3-year-old poodle, Annie) take care of my dog, Lucy, while we were away, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met them, it was clear that they had a genuine love for dogs. Allyson took the time to get to know Lucy, understanding her quirks and needs, which put me at ease right away. She asked all the right questions! During the time Lucy was with Allyson and her family, we received regular updates and adorable photos and videos showing how much fun they were having together. She took Lucy on daily walks, played with her, and even provided a cozy spot for her to nap in front of her fireplace. It was evident that Lucy was well-cared for and happy in all of their company. Her daughter even let Lucy sleep with her at night! Returning home, I found Lucy relaxed and content, which is a testament to the care she received. I highly recommend Allyson to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Lucy and I will definitely be reaching out again for future visits! Thank you for making my time away stress-free!”
“We had a 5 star experience with Ada. We were nervous about leaving our senior dog with a sitter but all our worries went away with the regular updates and photos. It felt like Ada truly cared about Gizmo and made sure to stay close by when he was anxious. She cared for him like he was her own. And we could tell how happy Gizmo was from the daily photos she sent. We would not hesitate to have Ada watch Gizmo again in the future .”

Having managed their different routines, temperaments and physical needs. I understand that every dog requires a tailored approach to feel safe and happy.

I have a fenced backyard with lawn available. Activity is adapted to your pets’ energy level. And we also have a fur baby at home for accompany.

“It was our first time to leave our Zion to anyone. Zion is an 8 month Bernedoodle who is quite attached to us. To our relief, Heidi seems like a great match and their interaction on the pre is it gave us a lot of confidence. Rovers selection system helped us identify a good match between Zion and Heidi. She is caring, sincere and thorough. Plenty of updates and videos/pictures through the day which helped us feel comforted knowing Zion is cared for. He was exercised, played and cared for through your the day! Upon picking Zion up, he was excited and ready to come home but turned to offer Heidi a loving gesture. We will depend on Heidi again should the situation come up. All best Heidi and we are happy to add you Zions extended pack.”
“Zack was an amazing sitter! He sent regular updates and made sure Kenzo was comfortable and happy the entire time. Kenzo absolutely loved him. I felt at ease knowing my pup was in great hands. I’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“This was my first time leaving our dog with a stranger.Xin and her family are incredibly caring. Our dog was with her for 10 days. The first two days she sent photos throughout the day until my family felt comfortable. Thereafter, every evening pictures and a video were sent from what she had taken throughout the day. When my dog wasn’t behaving with her dog, she listened to my advice and the dogs became good friends that played together. Pictures and videos were shown of them playing a tug-of-war with a toy, wrestling and snuggled up sleeping together. She even trimmed my dog’s front paws. I would definitely leave my dog with Xin many times over when we go away.”
