“Just came back from a one-week vacation and picked up Oscar from Sal. Oscar was so joyful and clearly well loved. Sal and his wife took such great care of him; it was obvious from how relaxed and happy Oscar looked. We’re so thankful for the kindness and attention they gave him while we were away. We’ll definitely be returning. Thank you, Sal, and a big thank-you to your family for welcoming Oscar into your home!”
“Our dog Max LOVED his stay with Vivian and her husband!! He was super excited to be there and in all the photos she sent, he looked like he was having the time of his life. Max felt right at home as they also have cats (we have 3 of our own). I loved watching the videos Vivian sent, complete with captions - she really captured his personality! I would absolutely recommend Vivian to anyone who is looking for a sitter who is going to care for your dog as their own - she welcomed him into the family and he had the best time! It really gave me peace of mind to know that he was being so well cared for; it was as if he was having his own vacation while we were away! We will 100% be using Vivian again in the future. Vivian, thanks for all you did to make Max’s stay special!”
“Despina took great care of our pup Juno. It was just a 1 night stay but she made sure to send plenty of pictures to let us know that Juno was having a fun time with Lucy. We wont hesitate to ask Despina again in the future if Juno needed sitting again. 5 stars!”
“We are very grateful to Jiayi for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Tileh. She sent us photos and videos every day, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. Tileh looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for throughout his stay. Jiayi was responsive, professional, and clearly loves dogs. We would not hesitate to leave Tileh with her again and highly recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Xi and Rosie were so kind to my dog Lemon. Xi kept me updated the whole weekend with lots of photos and videos. She ensured she followed lemons food and walk routine. Lemon really enjoyed his stay! Thank you Xi ❤️ He will surely be back for another stay”
“Lisa was above and beyond boarding our cat! She was genuine, thoughtful, loving and playful with him! She was an excellent communicator sending us videos and photos each day of their activities. We were shocked at how quickly our cat adapted to her home and that’s all because of how much Lisa cares about her animals and the time she spends with them!”
“We had such an amazing experience with Tsz. She went above and beyond while we were on vacation, consistently sending pictures and videos that gave us so much peace of mind. It really meant a lot to see how happy and well cared for our dog was while we were away. At the end of each day, she also provided detailed updates and notes about feedings, activities, and how everything went, which we truly appreciated. It showed how attentive and organized she is. Our 11-month-old Golden Retriever absolutely loved her, and it was clear she treated him like her own. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. 10/10 would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Pivonne took care of my dogs while we were on vacation, there were absolutely no issues. Our dogs looked happy and well taken care of when we returned from our trip. We will definitely book Pivonne again when we travel. Thanks Pivonne!”
About: 20+ years caring for cats and dogs. Patient, attentive, and reliable. I love walking, playing, and keeping pets company. Experienced with different personalities, including shy and senior pets. I’m mostly at home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m flexible and available throughout the day for walks, playtime, and companionship. I have a spacious home with plenty of room for pets to move around, plus a large fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Since I live alone, I can give pets lots of attention, care, and companionship.
“Meghna did an absolutely fantastic job watching my dog. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cares so much about animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such great hands. She provided updates, made sure all needs were met, and treated my dog like her own. I came back to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I would 100% trust and recommend Meghna to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter!”
“Chewie had another great stay! This was Chewie's first time boarding with Dommond and Hilda and so he was still slow to warm up but they took great care of him. We received constant updates and pictures so we know he is doing well. We've already scheduled another stay... very nice and caring couple, highly recommend!”
“Our fur baby had an awesome weekend stay with Nicole and family! Nicole kept in regular contact with us, and sent us photos every day ☺️ We had peace of mind that Murphy was being well taken care of, and he even had another doggie to keep him company ? We will definitely be booking future stays with her!!”

“Luisa was great with Archie! She’s accommodating, punctual and sent constant photo updates! Exactly what every pet parent wants when leaving their baby. Benji is also a great dog! Him and Archie became fast friends! Will definitely be calling on her and Benji again!”
“I left Toffee with Shirin for one week. We had a meet and greet in her place earlier. She is very kind and caring. From the moment I left my baby there she started sending me photos and videos. She take them for a walk and to dogpark everyday. My dog loves sitting and sleeping beside humen. He is shy and he does not like to play with dogs. In most of the photos Shirin sent to me, Toffee was sitting beside her which made me feel confident that he is comfortable. Usually after coming back from a dog hotel Toffee was grumpy for a few days. This time he came back with a very good mood. Definitely I will take Toffee there. Shirin is highlay recommended.”

“Yoga was great with her drop-in service to our cat Fluffy. This was my first time hiring someone to watch our pet. She came a few days before to meet me as well as fluffy and see her environment. The day of the appointment I received several photos, texts and videos of how Fluffy is doing, which was great. She is very professional and to me the most important is trustworthy. I will definatley be using Rover but specifically Yoga, again for future drop-in services in the future.”

“Lisa has been wonderful with my cat Alexa. This was the 2nd time Lisa helping me take care of Alexa, and Alexa, usually shy, has recognized Lisa as a friend, and been really close to her. Thanks Lisa!”
“Sheila is an absolutely incredible pet sitter! She took such amazing care of my (sphynx) cat Lily, and my fish, Josephine, while I was away for a week that Lily actually ran away from me and my family when we got home—clearly, she wasn’t ready for her vacation with Sheila to end! Sheila was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure both Lily and Josephine were happy and well cared for. Loved seeing all the photos of them having lots of snuggles and fun together. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Cheryll did drop in visits and took a great care of our cat while we were away! She ensured Martin had his wet, dry food and fresh water. She gave him lots of ear scratching and petted him to make him happy. Her rover cards provided us with the details of each visit that made us not worrying about our cat while we were on vacation. This was our third time using Cheryll’s help and will definitely use her services in the future again!”
“Melanie did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. She came and met the boys ahead of time and I felt very comfortable with hiring Melanie. The pictures she sent me of the boys was added comfort. I will definitely hire her again.”

I highly recommend Amanda for anyone in need of a reliable and caring house sitter!”
“We are so lucky to have John as our dog walker! He’s incredibly reliable and always professional. Our dog absolutely loves him, and we feel completely at ease knowing our furry friend is in great hands. He’s not just a dog walker, but a genuinely classy and caring person. We couldn’t ask for better care for our dog and highly recommend John to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and awesome. Thank you for everything, John!”
“Excellent job dropping in on our cat Cleo. Christina saw her every day we were gone, sent photos and snuggled with her to make her feel comfortable. I felt fully secure and trusting in Christina and she made for a wonderful friend for our little furry ball of cuteness. Thanks so much!!”

“We can't express enough for Anthony took care of Rockie when we were on vacation. It was the first time Rockie was away from us. He is 8 yrs old St Bernard. We were really worried at the beginning. Anthony dropped in on time every day. He fed and walked Rockie and sent us pictures and videos every day. Rockie likes him and we feel he did not miss us at all LOL. We had a great vacation all because of Anthony's help. Really appreciated! If anyone needs drop in visit or even just walking for their pets, we do strongly recommend Anthony.”

“This was Mochi’s first ever daycare! He definitely enjoyed a lot playing with other doggies and he even cried a bit when I picked him up from Pivonne’s place. He slept so well that night. I will definitely use her daycare / boarding service for next time.”
“This was the first time using Rover. I was a little nervous at first leaving my fur baby with someone I didn't know. Despina and her family are very welcoming and friendly. Despina always kept me in the loop on how Meya was doing by providing lots of photos and updates. Would definitely rebook with Despina and would highly recommend others with her service. Meya had so much fun that when we got home she was happy and exhausted with all the love she received from Despina and her family.”
“Shirin looked after my 6m old puppy. It was the first time I was leaving her with anyone. She was wonderful with him and sent me many pictures and videos throughout the day. I could see my puppy was very happy and he had a great time with Shirin and her dog. The whole experience was great and I’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Krishnaa and her husband are great! They offered to dog sit our pet right at the last moment when we had to run for a medical emergency. They are kind, experienced and our pet really enjoyed her stay at their place. We are very grateful to both of them. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and had a family dog growing up, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I currently work from home, which allows me to keep your pup company throughout the day while providing flexible potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible, including regular walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention and playtime. I always prioritize safety by ensuring doors, leashes, and harnesses are secure during walks and outings, and I closely supervise pets at all times.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As an healthcare professional and mom of two, I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of all ages. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work a flexible schedule from home and can provide reliable pet care throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to follow their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and bedtime habits. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs before their stay. I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment and closely supervise walks, outdoor time, and interactions. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and will always communicate promptly with owners. My goal is to provide a safe, loving experience where your pet feels relaxed and cared for.
“Luna had such a wonderful time today! Ziqi was caring, reliable, and clearly loves dogs — Luna came home happy, relaxed, and a little tired from all the fun. Communication was smooth, updates were thoughtful, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy sitter!”
About: At this time, I will only be accepting one dog at a time. I do have a resident dog in my home, but she is very low maintenance. That means your dog will get my (almost!) undivided attention. I have lots of experience with taking care of dogs of all backgrounds from fostering and dogsitting, including puppies. I'm very in tune with the needs of dogs. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, from 10 pounds to 50 pounds. I love sending lots of pictures and videos throughout the day (although I am not a professional photographer!) to give the owners updates. I work from home so I'm able to keep my eye on your dog all day. Note that for doggie day care, it will be during the hours of 7am to 7pm. Any hours beyond this range can still be accommodated for but extra rates may apply. Feel free to discuss with me! I am currently working from home, so I will have lots of time for your furry children. I have a fenced backyard and would be able to take the dogs out for potty breaks during the day. I have a fenced yard and my own dog of 5 years. I have doggie gates in my house to separate if needed, and can put my dog in another part of the household or crate her, if needed.
About: I truly love dogs and treat every pup as my own. I adopted my dog when she was a puppy, so I understand how to care for dogs with patience and warmth. Overtime, I’ve had the pleasures of caring for dogs with many different characters - from confident, outgoing pups to shy or anxious dogs who simply need a little extra time to settle in. I believe every dog is different, so I always adjust my care to their individual needs rather than expecting them to fit into a routine. I host up to 2 guest dogs at a time, so I can give full attention and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved during their stay. 🐾💛 I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and comfort. I enjoy learning their unique habits, noticing small changes, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed during their stay. My goal is for every dog to feel at home, whether they love to play, cuddle on the couch, or simply nap beside me. I’m grateful to have many repeat clients, and nothing means more to me than seeing dogs excited to come back and hearing that their owners feel completely at ease while they are away. I work from home most of the time, so I’m always around to keep your pup company. We usually start the day with a little walk, some playtime in the backyard, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. It’s a calm, happy routine that dogs really enjoy. Dogs stay in a safe, clean, and calm home with a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play. I always keep a close eye on them to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and secure. I also communicate regularly with dog owners to provide updates and peace of mind while their pets are in my care.
“Rae is super kind and caring. Couldn’t have been happier. My dog is a bit hardheaded and she goes on hunger strike when i leave her with anyone. But Rae was super kind to tricked her perfectly. I would most like rebook Rae and definitely would leave my dog with her. Thank you Rae for taking such good care of Bailey during our absence.”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, influenced by my father, a lifelong dog lover who owned everything from Chihuahuas to a Tibetan Mastiff. I’ve had two Poodles of my own and, as a trained groomer, I’m especially attentive to coat care, comfort, and handling. Every dog gets patient, loving care tailored to them I'm a stay-at-home parent, and my husband works from home, so there's almost always someone around to keep your pup company. We only accept one dog at a time (or dogs from the same family), which means a calm, relaxed environment and lots of individual attention. Your dog will be treated like part of the family while they're here-hanging out with us throughout the day, joining in on family activities, and, with your permission, coming along on family outings and adventures. We love making our guest pups feel right at home and giving them the same care, attention, and affection we'd want for our own dog. Your dog's comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. At my home, pups enjoy a fully fenced backyard with lots of space to move around and play, plus access to nearby ravine trails for walks and sniff-filled adventures. I follow each dog's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs. For stays longer than one week, I'm also happy to provide a bath (with your permission) so your pup comes home clean and fresh. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep pets happy, comfortable, and secure.
About: My dog recently passed away at 14.2yo, before he went, he's a chronic patient of Osteopathy. I had experience taking him in and out of the vets, acupuncture, etc. I have a lot of patience and love for pets, especially chronically ill pet babies. I want to pass on love and care to other animals. I also kept a turtle at home for over 20 years. You can trust me 100% when your little kid is with me. I understand our pets mean everything to us, and we do also for them. It is my goal to make your pet feel the non-intrusive love/care they deserve while you're unavailable. Me and my partner work from home in corporate jobs, and we are home every day. We make sure your pet baby has our full attention. We take one pet baby at a time, we make sure they get all they need, while their favourite human is temporarily away. Me and my partner live in a 600sq foot condo in lakeshore downtown. We have a balcony with full access to the lakeshore. Our condo amenities include a large playground dog-friendly. If the weather is great, we will bring your baby out for long/short walks along the lakeshore, depending on their stamina and habit.
“Absolutely great experience with Jennifer overall. From the get go, communication was smooth and swift. Jennifer was happy enough to do a meet and greet a day before we were supposed to leave our dog with her, she also worked around our schedule to meet with us which was very much appreciated. Communication during the visit was also good where she shared pics as well. And the best review is given by the actual customer, and we are happy to say our dog was very happy when he returned! We will definitely be using Jennifer’s services again!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust. I’ve owned my French Bulldog for the past 3 years and have also cared for larger breeds such as Golden Retrievers and Huskies. My experience includes walking, feeding, playing, providing companionship, and even taking dogs to veterinary appointments when needed. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I also have experience caring for rabbits, giving me confidence working with different types of pets. I’m currently home for the summer while studying dentistry in Europe, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I can dedicate my full attention to caring for your pet and am available throughout the week, including weekends. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s regular routine and, when possible, last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I adapt my care accordingly. To give you peace of mind, I’ll send frequent photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Ariel is great with my dog Sydney! Sydney is shy with strangers but warmed up to Ariel very quickly. Ariel is very punctual and reliable. I highly recommend her for your dog walker/sitter.”
“My dog just loves Sara!! She is such a huge help - with me going back into the office I was so upset about having to leave my girl at home and stressed about who would be trustworthy enough to take her out. Sara is beyond trustworthy, flexible, loves dogs, communicates well, always sends pics, and is so kind!! Will be using her as long as I can and would recommend her to anyone looking for a walker :)”

“My Aunt and Uncle were looking after our dog while we were on vacation. Melanie walked our dog everyday while we were on vacation. I’ve never used a dog walking service before and Melanie was amazing. Very conscientious, wanting to know if our dog had any allergies. She gave us updates everyday on his walks. Our dog loved Melanie and looked forward to his daily walk. Thank you so much Melanie for treating our dog so well and making this such a good experience. Highly recommend Melanie’s services.”
“Meagan is fantastic. She is very communicative, provides helpful updates, and thoughtful. My dog Buddy is overjoyed when she comes by to walk him, and I feel at ease when she comes by. Thank you Meagan!”

I understand that every pet is different and has different needs. I look forward to hearing from you as the owner the best way to take care of your pet.

About: ***PRICE TRANSPARENCY: It's come to my attention that Rover service fees are inflating prices for what you can see on my profile. I am not happy about this. I am currently making $19.20 per 30 min drop-in/walk, but the posted price by Rover is much higher <---It was never my intention to charge this much, and I encourage clients to send Rover Support feedback about their fees, pricing and how their hijacking sitters' profiles by doing this. If you are unable to afford the current price, please message me anyway, and I can try to work within your budget. I'm an experienced Foster home, home visit and phone screener previously for a few home based rescues for dogs and cats. I've owned dogs and currently have 4 rescue cats. Adopt, don't shop is how I live. Experience and age (mine lol) matter. I love pets; I've opened my home numerous times to foster animals. I regard myself as an important link in the chain to allow pet owners to keep their pets instead of having to give them up due to having to work outside the home, or other reasons that we confront in rescue :) I collect pet food donations from PetValu partners in the city and give to citizens in need & sanctuaries. I want to make a difference. Creator of Ava's Foundation. I work a hybrid schedule, therefore many days of the week I am available for a drop in to your own place or possibly dog walking before work, during the work day, after work and in the evenings. I try to build up rapport with the dog or cat in question by talking to them as I enter the house, make them feel at ease with my voice in my presence, so that they love to see me and know that I mean fun and games and FOOD. I always make sure that the litter is cleaned or the dog is petted and loved and I’ve even taken care of rabbits who loved to see me because they knew that they would get fun and treats and their living area cleaned and tidied..

“Jessica did amazing job walking our dog, Kira, while I was out of town. She is such a caring and loving person! Jessica met us up ahead of booking to get familiar with Kira and talked to us to ensure that she got Kira’s needs right. She always responded to our messages promptly. While walking the dog, Jessica picked the routine per the weather/temperature and ensured Kira enjoyed the routine. She noted the details in the Rover Card after each walk. We appreciate Jessica’s help and love to recommend her to anyone needs help walking dogs!”

“Just came back from a one-week vacation and picked up Oscar from Sal. Oscar was so joyful and clearly well loved. Sal and his wife took such great care of him; it was obvious from how relaxed and happy Oscar looked. We’re so thankful for the kindness and attention they gave him while we were away. We’ll definitely be returning. Thank you, Sal, and a big thank-you to your family for welcoming Oscar into your home!”
“Our dog Max LOVED his stay with Vivian and her husband!! He was super excited to be there and in all the photos she sent, he looked like he was having the time of his life. Max felt right at home as they also have cats (we have 3 of our own). I loved watching the videos Vivian sent, complete with captions - she really captured his personality! I would absolutely recommend Vivian to anyone who is looking for a sitter who is going to care for your dog as their own - she welcomed him into the family and he had the best time! It really gave me peace of mind to know that he was being so well cared for; it was as if he was having his own vacation while we were away! We will 100% be using Vivian again in the future. Vivian, thanks for all you did to make Max’s stay special!”
“We are very grateful to Jiayi for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Tileh. She sent us photos and videos every day, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. Tileh looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for throughout his stay. Jiayi was responsive, professional, and clearly loves dogs. We would not hesitate to leave Tileh with her again and highly recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Meghna did an absolutely fantastic job watching my dog. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cares so much about animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such great hands. She provided updates, made sure all needs were met, and treated my dog like her own. I came back to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I would 100% trust and recommend Meghna to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter!”
“Lloyd had his first sleepover at Matthew’s house. He got lots of fresh air and exercise. Matthew was responsive when I checked in and it gave me peace of mind knowing Lloyd was well taken care of.”
“Megan and Rob helped our pup feel completely at home for her week stay! We loved the updates they sent as well. She came home as her regular self, refreshed from a relaxing yet fun doggie vacation. We are so happy to have been referred to Megan and Rob and will definitely book with them often!”
“Luisa was great with Archie! She’s accommodating, punctual and sent constant photo updates! Exactly what every pet parent wants when leaving their baby. Benji is also a great dog! Him and Archie became fast friends! Will definitely be calling on her and Benji again!”
“I left Toffee with Shirin for one week. We had a meet and greet in her place earlier. She is very kind and caring. From the moment I left my baby there she started sending me photos and videos. She take them for a walk and to dogpark everyday. My dog loves sitting and sleeping beside humen. He is shy and he does not like to play with dogs. In most of the photos Shirin sent to me, Toffee was sitting beside her which made me feel confident that he is comfortable. Usually after coming back from a dog hotel Toffee was grumpy for a few days. This time he came back with a very good mood. Definitely I will take Toffee there. Shirin is highlay recommended.”
“Brenda and her husband took great care of Luna. Communication was great and we got daily updates on how she was doing. I would gladly have Brenda watch Luna again.”
About: At this time, I will only be accepting one dog at a time. I do have a resident dog in my home, but she is very low maintenance. That means your dog will get my (almost!) undivided attention. I have lots of experience with taking care of dogs of all backgrounds from fostering and dogsitting, including puppies. I'm very in tune with the needs of dogs. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, from 10 pounds to 50 pounds. I love sending lots of pictures and videos throughout the day (although I am not a professional photographer!) to give the owners updates. I work from home so I'm able to keep my eye on your dog all day. Note that for doggie day care, it will be during the hours of 7am to 7pm. Any hours beyond this range can still be accommodated for but extra rates may apply. Feel free to discuss with me! I am currently working from home, so I will have lots of time for your furry children. I have a fenced backyard and would be able to take the dogs out for potty breaks during the day. I have a fenced yard and my own dog of 5 years. I have doggie gates in my house to separate if needed, and can put my dog in another part of the household or crate her, if needed.
“We recently left our dog Mylo with Hao for a week, for the first time. Mylo came back home happy, energetic like he had gone to his second home. Hao is reliable and responsive. He kept us updated with photos throughout the boarding and it gave us peace of mind that Mylo was in good hands and enjoying himself. We will definitely return to Hao for future boarding. Thank you Hao for boarding Mylo.”
About: Hello, I’m Keira! I’ve loved animals since I was a kid, and my experience with my own dogs growing up made me want to seek out the important and fun role of taking care of others’ pets as well. I started my pet care experience by helping out my sister when she had her own dog-sitting business, and when I was older, I started to care for both dogs and cats for family and friends. This care has included boarding, elderly care, and giving oral medication to my furry friends, along with lots of cuddles, of course! Now I am ready to start my journey on Rover, and feel lucky to have the privilege to meet many lovely dogs, cats, and humans on the way. ❤️🐾 I love sending owners pictures and updates of their pets regularly to ensure they know their pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every dog or cat like part of my own family, and genuinely love the experience of caring for them. I’m a student on break for the summer, so currently I have no consistent commitments that would interfere with pet care. I’ll only be taking pets on days that I will be home all day, with no other obligations. Additionally, I currently only take pet(s) from one client at a time, so your pet will have my full love and attention! I currently have no other pets in my home. I have a big yard, although it is not fenced, so I will keep dogs on a leash if they are outside. My street is generally very quiet. Pets will have space to roam and play (supervised) in the house as well, unless their owner prefers otherwise.
“After our regular sitter became unexpectedly unavailable, we tried the Rover app for the first time and are beyond grateful for having come across John & Lisa. From initial contact, they were incredibly responsive, communicative and wonderful to deal with. We felt comfortable even before dropping Bella off and confident she was going to be in good hands. Bella is quite timid at first but through the photos/messages we were regularly provided, it was clear that she felt safe and warmed up quickly. So much so that we’re convinced Bella was a little depressed after we picked her up lol John/Lisa - thank you both so much for making our first Rover experience a pleasant one and for taking such great care of our fur baby. We will undoubtedly be booking with you both again!”
“Stuart and his wife were wonderful with Dexter. Stuart is clearly very knowledgeable about dog behavior and training, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Dexter in their care. It was evident that Dexter felt right at home. Thank you so much, Stuart!”

“Truly wonderful experience. My dog Pixel has special needs — she's blind, and almost sixteen years old — so I'm always nervous about leaving her with people I've never dealt with before. This is especially true when it comes to a long stay; and I had to leave Pixel for a couple of weeks. Emily and Chun were perfect, and Pixel clearly adored them; no question that I'll be using their services again whenever I need to board my dog in Toronto.”
“Suzanne and Magda took great care of our dog, and they were also very accommodating with the late pickup we had to do due to flight delays, would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a responsible & caring family for your pet while you are away.”
“Lucy was great with my Boston terrier Ellie. Ellie was well taken care of and lots of pictures were taken through out the day. amazing services by Lucy and husband Joe. Will definitely go back and recommended to anyone that needs a great sitter.”
