“Katherine is absolutely incredible, from the first time you meet her and her adorable daughter you can see how much they absolutely adore animals! I was constantly updated about rozie and the pictures and videos were absolutely heartwarming. Rozie can’t wait to go back to this incredible house with some incredible people. Do your animal a favour and see if you’ll be lucky enough for Katherine to look after your animal.”
“Anne and Andrew are always so great with Luna. She loves them and is so comfortable in their care. We were away for a good amount of time and Luna was welcomed into their home like family, as she always is. She's always a little sad when it's time to come home. 😅”
“Cindy was great with Teddy. She took the time to meet him and make sure we were all comfortable before taking him for a night. I felt very confident leaving Teddy in Cindy’s care - he will be back for another sleepover in a few weeks! Thanks Cindy”
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“Heather really looked after my dogs. She sent pictures updating me with what they were up to. I felt relaxed while we were away and will use Heather again 🐾”
“Loved working with Allison and Scott. Georgie had the time of his life with them. I really appreciate their communication, friendliness, photography, and consideration. Would highly recommend and will use again.”
“Tucker had an AMAZING time, for his first boarding night. We are so thankful to find two people who treat him as well as myself and my kids. Cannot wait to use them again.”
“Jillian was amazing. Lots of updates with photos. Our Luna really seemed to love her. She also took Luna on some good hikes/walks as she requires lots of exercise. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Where do we begin? We were so nervous about leaving Nicky with strangers. And we are truly so grateful to have found Susan and Brian. Full disclosure, we thought about not writing this review so that we could keep Susan and Brian all to ourselves, but we know that they will take very, very good care of other, beloved pets so here we are. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Susan and Brian! They made sure that our human and the furry family members were comfortable from the start. Communication was excellent. They made sure to keep us updated with regular messages and photos. They also created a little “report card” upon our return so we knew exactly how and what Nicky was doing each day — such a thoughtful touch! They went above and beyond while caring for our dog. When Nicky had unexpected tummy issues, they handled it with such care and ease. We had peace of mind the entire time we were away. We highly recommend Susan and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, kind, gentle, funny, dedicated and wonderfully caring sitters for their furry family members. Susan and Brian, thank you so much!”
“Sarah and her girls took amazing care of Archie while we were in Mexico for a week. She was responsive and communicated well, sending pictures and updates throughout our trip so we had peace of mind knowing he was having a great time and being treated as part of her family. Archie requires medication which was administered appropriately, and he ate well throughout his stay. He also loved taking walks along the trails near her home. Thank you again for everything!”
“Catherine and her husband took amazing care of my dog, Bruno, during his overnight stay! He had a great time, and I really appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Emilie is amazing. And her kids were wonderful with Joy. I can’t say enough good things. Such good care. I recommend them 100% Thank you for taking such good care of our little girl.”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
“Warren and Angelika took great care of our Clyde. His meds were all given, he enjoyed a walk and all the love and attention they gave him. Clyde enjoyed his stay and all the snuggles.”
“Natasha & Sandro’s experience with rescue dogs gave me the peace of mind I was looking for, they understand Rocky’s needs and made him feel at home with their dogs. The updates and photos were great for me to see Rocky having a good time with his new friends. I am happy to not have to hunt for a sitter anymore as both myself and Rocky had a very positive experience with our vacations.”
“Our dog stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. The property is beautiful and quite a distance from the road, creating a perfect environment for pets. We received daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. They also brushed our dog regularly. We’ll definitely book again the next time we’re out of town for an extended period”
“Kristen and Jeffrey are wonderful pet sitter, they took excellent care of our furry troop! Right off the bat when I first met them I got an excellent first impression. They were very warm and friendly and were great with my pet! When I came home after after being away my pet was very relaxed and happy. During my time away Kristen and Jeffrey sent me photos of my pet having fun which was really nice ? I look forward to booking Kristen and Jeffrey again in the future!! Thanks for doing such a great job, keep up the great work!! ❤”
“Sarah took fantastic care of my elderly cat. We had a car accident while we were away and had to extend my cat's stay. Sarah was so kind and was happy to keep him another night! I really felt my fur baby was in great hands. Thank you Sarah🩷”

“Jacobe is very kind and great at communicating with you. He always gets back to us and provided videos from his first visit. He came by for a meet and greet beforehand at no charge and it’s obvious he loves and has experience with animals. Thank you, Jacobe!”
“Sara and Cody are incredible people who took amazing care of my fur baby. Charlotte was very well cared for, and Sara truly went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, comfortable, and loved. I couldn't have asked for better care, and I highly recommend them!”
About: I’ve been a cat owner for years . Having found Rover myself it makes it stress free to find reliable people to look after them I work at a school so I am able to have visits after 3pm any day or anytime at the weekend also available during holidays I have two cats both indoor . They have the run of the house . A cat tree lots of toys water fountain treats food
About: I have experience caring for indoor cats, outdoor cats, barn cats and hairless/Sphynx cats, as well as cats who need medication or extra support. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for feeding, litter boxes, medications, routines, indoor/outdoor access and each cat’s individual personality. I know cats can be particular about their space, schedule and people, so I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and low stress as possible. Whether a cat is social, shy, independent, senior, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to help them feel safe and settled while they're in my care. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before the first booking so I can get to know your cat, their routine, their care needs and any other important details ahead of time.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my dad was a dog trainer, so I was surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments from a young age. This gave me a strong understanding of canine behavior and how to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m confident handling dogs on walks, whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I know how important routine, patience, and positive reinforcement are, and I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to provide the care they need while you’re away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, capable hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and extra time to spend with your furry family members. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. In my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise under supervision. We also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, a Maltese and a Black Lab, who love meeting and playing with other dogs and are comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets slowly and carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. If your pet prefers their own space or has a different routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of their routine, administering meals, going for walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in the comfort of their own home.

“We had recently moved to a new area and were going away for a few days and no longer had any friends or family close by to check in on Milo and Ophelia while we were away. Nicole took great care of Milo and Ophelia. She was very friendly and responsive. I had sent her a long message with information and instructions, and she followed them with no issue! She also sent us some great photos of our cats that were a delight to receive. I was definitely able to enjoy my trip knowing my cats were in great hands. I definitely recommend Nicole!”

About: I grew up being surrounded by lots of different animals from cats, dogs, birds, rabbits to chickens I had them all some even at the same time.

I have breeding experience as well as my cats, dogs and birds had babies so have handled them with great care. Rest assure your pets will be loved and looked after just like they were my own. My work schedule is quite flexible as I work from home and don’t have long work hours which gives me plenty of time to take breaks in between so that I can spend quality time to spend and care for your pets like my own I have a fenced yard so that your pets can play freely.

About: I have experience caring for cats of all personalities, from playful kittens to senior or shy cats. I respect each cat’s individual needs and routines, ensuring a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. I am comfortable administering medications, maintaining clean litter areas, feeding on schedule, and providing gentle companionship to build trust. I focus on creating a peaceful home where cats feel secure and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I naturally form a bond with cats—they often love me right away, and I feel a genuine connection, treating each one as if they were my own. I can also provide references or links to previous client reviews for peace of mind.

“Davrielle was amazing with my 2 fur babies! During the week I was gone, I received daily communications and pictures/videos from Davrielle, letting me know my 2 cats were taken care of. Davrielle's tone of voice to my cats in the videos was so sweet, making it easy for my cat with anxiety to feel more comfortable with her each day. My cats also get daily medications and 1 gets a puffer each morning, so the attention to detail and care Davrielle took was so very appreciated. I came back to a clean apartment - and Davrielle had even re-washed the bedding/towels! I would highly recommend Davrielle to any pet owners. Thank you Davrielle! - Holly & Maow”

About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.

“Warren and Angelica were amazing. The dogs had a wonderful time. Very friendly and compassionate. We had updates while they were out for a walk and getting treats. I highly recommend and will definitely ask them to look after our furry kids again. Thanks so much for the amazing care.”
“Great experience! Easy drop off and pick up, they were very flexible and great communication with our 15 week old puppy! He was exhausted he slept the whole ride home. Would use again and very happy!”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing! We booked our pup, Sobey, in for a full day of daycare and she absolutely loved it! From play time with Molly, to a duo walk, to snuggles inside, Sobey was extremely well taken care of and had the best day! Michelle was quick to respond to messages, extremely accommodating and sent us videos and pictures throughout the day of Sobey and Molly’s adventures! Michelle truly cares about what she does and made Sobey feel at home right away. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Michelle and Molly 🥰”

“Rieko looked after my dog Blossom for the day while my partner and I were at Scandinave Spa, and I had such a great experience with her. She was incredibly warm and friendly from the start, and communication was excellent both before the visit and throughout the day. Blossom got out for a walk and had some backyard playtime, which she absolutely loves. It was clear that Rieko really paid attention to making sure she was comfortable and happy. When I picked Blossom up, she was relaxed and clearly well cared for. I’d happily recommend Rieko to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable dog sitter. Blossom had a great day with her!”
About: I love dogs and will take care of yours like my own: extra snuggles when they miss you. I have owned and trained three dogs and treats are the best tools to keep the experience positive for all. Our dog Winter loves all friendly dogs and would always welcome a playmate. She is used to having and sharing our home with other dogs. Walking a pet at the end of a work day is wonderful way to know the day is over. Dogs always bring a smile to my face and the stress is gone! I will be happy to share photos of your fur baby when you are away: make you feel not as far away from them. We know you miss them. Lol I am currently at home so lots of time with your dog and lots of playing and walking outside will be provided. Your pet will come back home tired! We have a large yard on a quiet country road. Your dog will spend lots of time outside getting exercice and socialization with our dog Winter.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve raised puppies and, most recently, provided dedicated senior care for my beloved dog until she passed away in May. My home has very few stairs, a beautiful fenced in yard, and everything your dog needs for a comfortable stay. Whether your dog is energetic or enjoys a slower pace, I’ll treat them with the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to send you photos and do FaceTime calls if that’s something you would like :) I’m currently a graduate student who is not working so I have a lot of availability and flexibility. I will treat your dog with the same love and care that I treated mine with. I have a beautiful, fully fenced yard where your dog can safely run and play. There are only a few steps to enter the house, and if your dog has mobility challenges, I’m happy to carry them if needed. Your dog will be treated like family and will enjoy the same love and freedom my own dog did, whether that’s curling up on the couch, relaxing in a cozy spot, or simply being wherever they’re happiest. I also have an 9 year old daughter who absolutely adores dogs and loves spending time with them. We would be thrilled to welcome your fur baby into our home, where they’ll enjoy their own vacation while you’re enjoying yours! 🐾❤️

“Wonderful place to have our dog stay at. Cory and Darryl are super nice and treated our boy with so much kindness. They sent tons of pictures and even kept him an extra hour because we were running a little late. Highly impressed, would definitely book with them again.”
“Great experience! Allison and Scott are extremely responsive and friendly, and clearly love dogs. Our pup had a great day and we did too knowing she was in capable hands. She came home happy and exhausted from her adventure :)”
“We were so happy to have found Jill to watch our dog while we were visiting from out of town . She was a short drive from the village and was flexible with drop off and pick up time , allowing us to explore and enjoy blue mountain and pick up after dinner. She was easy to communicate/coordinate with and was able to accommodate a last minute request to add my brother’s dog to our booking. Thankful to have found a safe and fun place for the dogs to spend their days. They both had a great time.”

We can crate pups if they need some space or we have a deck that they can lay on to get some sun.
About: Whether your big dog needs to burn some energy on a long walk, or your little furry friend needs a quick trip outside and some couch cuddles. I’m here to help! I grew up around dogs. Over the years my family has had Cocker Spaniels, Chocolate Labs, Weimaraners, and even a Great Dane! Seven years ago I adopted a Mini Dachshund full of love, and stubbornness, who taught me the importance of proper training! Last year when she suffered an IVDD set back. I learnt about a whole new level of care, from bladder expression to wheelchair use. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to keep your dogs happy and healthy! I work as a freelance writer, so have an amazingly flexible schedule that will allow me to find the perfect time to come hag out with your pet! Primarily looking to come drop in or take your dog for a walk in your neighbourhood.

About: I have been a loving pet owner since I was a child. Recently I have enjoyed dog sitting for friends and family. Love doing it. I'm semi retired and looking to fill in some time during the day. I'm reliable and would enjoy the outside exercise. I've owned both big and small dogs. . I do have a fenced in yard with a sliding door access. I currently do not have any animals so I can give your dog complete attention.

I’m punctual, respectful of your home, and great at following instructions — whether that’s leash preferences, routes, feeding routines, or medications. Safety always comes first. I’m currently focused on daytime dog walking and drop-in visits, making me a great fit for working professionals, seniors, and families who need dependable help during the day. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes after every visit so you always know how your dog is doing. I’d love to meet you and your pup — feel free to message me with any questions! I offer flexible daytime availability on weekdays and limited weekends. Walks and drop-ins are scheduled reliably, and I communicate clearly if timing adjustments are ever needed. Safety is my top priority. I follow instructions carefully, keep dogs secure on leash, respect your home, and provide reliable updates after every visit or walk.
About: I’ve always grown up with animals. My family currently has 2 cats and one pug. I usually feed and walk the dog. There is lots of room for play time and walks! We have a fenced yard. *Update* Our beloved pug, Milo, who is seen in my profile pictures, has recently passed away on June 3rd, so it’s been quite devastating. His passing really prompted me to do more Rover gigs because I miss having a doggo around.. Currently, I work from home, so i’m available anytime! I mainly do many house sittings, and can offer lots of love and cuddles before, during and after work. Rest assured your pet, they would be spoiled with love and so much affection.. I have a spacious home. The home has a large fenced yard for your doggo to play with no issues: I am also pretty flexible and can stay at your place, just so your fur baby is comfy. We can most definitely accommodate to dogs, since we are in a backsplit home, with a fenced yard. I have a cat named Niko. Niko is pretty good with other dogs, as Milo lived with us. He mostly hangout in the basement, where it is cooler and also he is very shy and timid and prefers that.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular schedule, provide updates with photos, and ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. Safety, patience, and compassion are my top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of companionship. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member will feel comfortable and secure. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I’d give my own.
“Jessica is so kind and friendly I feel lucky to have her walking Lola while I'm at work during the day. She is punctual, dependable and accommodating - couldn't ask for a better friend to help out!”
About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.
About: Hi, I'm Chelsey! I have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience spanning in-home care, board and train programs, and doggy daycares. I share my own home with three dogs and two cats, so animals aren't just my work, they're my life. I'll be honest, I love animals more than most people, and every decision I make during the day is based on what's best for the pets in my care. I'm experienced with a variety of training tools and techniques, including e-collars, prong collars, and Gentle Leader walks, and I'm comfortable with all temperaments, from sweet, wiggly puppies to dogs who prefer not to be touched. I'm doing this because I genuinely love meeting new furry friends, and my long-term goal is to build my own business in the animal care world. I can't wait to meet your sweet babies! This would be my career, I would do this full time. I would make my schedule around the best intrest of my clients with flexible hours I have a large fenced in yard, i have a large park across the street from my house my dogs like to play offlwash on (i would have dogs on long lines if I was to bring them there) my husband is hone full time and we would work as a team to care for the animals the way the need. If that means I take my dogs to the park and your pup gets human love thats what we'll do. My dogs are very friendly and go to doggy daycare they are both fixed 1 female 1 male female is 3 this year my boy will be 2. They lost their sister last year and are always looking to make friends.
About: I have always loved animals. I personally have always had dogs/cats growing up and my family&friends relied on me multiple times to help take care of their pets while away! My current job requires me to care for 2 dogs and a cat all day! I do work full time but am available early in the morning or anytime after 5 on weekdays! During the weekend I do have more flexibility available :) I currently have two cats that have full free roam of my house. I have watched multiple dogs, I do have easy access to a trail for long walks!
About: Hi, my name is Davrielle and I am an experienced pet owner and pet sitter for cats and dogs, but willing to take care of other animals as well. I have been a professional dog sitter and walker for 15 years and love every minute of it. I will treat your home and animal with the respect that I would want to be shown to me, and I will follow any instructions you leave. I have owned 3 cats and 1 dog and throughout my life they have brought me so much joy, they become so much more than just a pet, they are family. I will make sure that your family member is taken care of to the best of my ability. I’m taking an online course (at my own pace) so every day during the work week I am available to take out a dog for outdoor breaks as many times as they need throughout the day, as well as I am generally available on weekends. I have a very flexible schedule. I’ll make sure to follow any instructions you leave and if I have any questions I will promptly send a message your way!

About: I grew up being surrounded by lots of different animals from cats, dogs, birds, rabbits to chickens I had them all some even at the same time. Even though I may not have pets of my own at this time I still leave no opportunity to pet sit my friends’ pets as my own as I am a huge animal lover. I have breeding experience as well as my cats, dogs and birds had babies so have handled them with great care. Rest assure your pets will be loved and looked after just like they were my own. My work schedule is quite flexible as I work from home and don’t have long work hours which gives me plenty of time to take breaks in between so that I can spend quality time to spend and care for your pets like my own I have a fenced yard so that your pets can play freely. There is lots of space for them to move around. I have friends who have left me with keys to their homes and house sit for them and their pets so you can have trust that no harm will come to your pet

“Anne and Andrew are always so great with Luna. She loves them and is so comfortable in their care. We were away for a good amount of time and Luna was welcomed into their home like family, as she always is. She's always a little sad when it's time to come home. 😅”
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“Heather really looked after my dogs. She sent pictures updating me with what they were up to. I felt relaxed while we were away and will use Heather again 🐾”
“Loved working with Allison and Scott. Georgie had the time of his life with them. I really appreciate their communication, friendliness, photography, and consideration. Would highly recommend and will use again.”
“Where do we begin? We were so nervous about leaving Nicky with strangers. And we are truly so grateful to have found Susan and Brian. Full disclosure, we thought about not writing this review so that we could keep Susan and Brian all to ourselves, but we know that they will take very, very good care of other, beloved pets so here we are. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Susan and Brian! They made sure that our human and the furry family members were comfortable from the start. Communication was excellent. They made sure to keep us updated with regular messages and photos. They also created a little “report card” upon our return so we knew exactly how and what Nicky was doing each day — such a thoughtful touch! They went above and beyond while caring for our dog. When Nicky had unexpected tummy issues, they handled it with such care and ease. We had peace of mind the entire time we were away. We highly recommend Susan and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, kind, gentle, funny, dedicated and wonderfully caring sitters for their furry family members. Susan and Brian, thank you so much!”
“Sarah and her girls took amazing care of Archie while we were in Mexico for a week. She was responsive and communicated well, sending pictures and updates throughout our trip so we had peace of mind knowing he was having a great time and being treated as part of her family. Archie requires medication which was administered appropriately, and he ate well throughout his stay. He also loved taking walks along the trails near her home. Thank you again for everything!”
“Catherine and her husband took amazing care of my dog, Bruno, during his overnight stay! He had a great time, and I really appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
“Warren and Angelika took great care of our Clyde. His meds were all given, he enjoyed a walk and all the love and attention they gave him. Clyde enjoyed his stay and all the snuggles.”
“Natasha & Sandro’s experience with rescue dogs gave me the peace of mind I was looking for, they understand Rocky’s needs and made him feel at home with their dogs. The updates and photos were great for me to see Rocky having a good time with his new friends. I am happy to not have to hunt for a sitter anymore as both myself and Rocky had a very positive experience with our vacations.”
“Our dog stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. The property is beautiful and quite a distance from the road, creating a perfect environment for pets. We received daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. They also brushed our dog regularly. We’ll definitely book again the next time we’re out of town for an extended period”
“Kristen and Jeffrey are wonderful pet sitter, they took excellent care of our furry troop! Right off the bat when I first met them I got an excellent first impression. They were very warm and friendly and were great with my pet! When I came home after after being away my pet was very relaxed and happy. During my time away Kristen and Jeffrey sent me photos of my pet having fun which was really nice ? I look forward to booking Kristen and Jeffrey again in the future!! Thanks for doing such a great job, keep up the great work!! ❤”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve raised puppies and, most recently, provided dedicated senior care for my beloved dog until she passed away in May. My home has very few stairs, a beautiful fenced in yard, and everything your dog needs for a comfortable stay. Whether your dog is energetic or enjoys a slower pace, I’ll treat them with the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to send you photos and do FaceTime calls if that’s something you would like :) I’m currently a graduate student who is not working so I have a lot of availability and flexibility. I will treat your dog with the same love and care that I treated mine with. I have a beautiful, fully fenced yard where your dog can safely run and play. There are only a few steps to enter the house, and if your dog has mobility challenges, I’m happy to carry them if needed. Your dog will be treated like family and will enjoy the same love and freedom my own dog did, whether that’s curling up on the couch, relaxing in a cozy spot, or simply being wherever they’re happiest. I also have an 9 year old daughter who absolutely adores dogs and loves spending time with them. We would be thrilled to welcome your fur baby into our home, where they’ll enjoy their own vacation while you’re enjoying yours! 🐾❤️
