“Heli and Chintankumar took care of our dog for 4 days and couldn't be happier. Our Ellie was walked a numerous times a day. She also spent lots of time in a private dog park behind their building. She was even given a bath on the day we picked her up. Highly recommended!”
“So communicative during my dogs stay with updates, can’t recommend enough. My dog can be stubborn with feeding when I’m not around and he was absolutely fine and super comfortable!”
“This was Louie’s 2nd stay with Xintian and her family. He was happy to be dropped off at her house again, and was treated with kindness and care. This is a huge help to us, as we have peace of mind when we are away. We will definitely reach out to Xintian again in the future!”
“Andrew and Alexa went beyond and above taking care of Charlie. Our baby is very challenging due to past experiences and high energy level that Charlie needs effective and efficient strategies to make his day fun and not boring. Alexa and Andrew did incredible care for our baby that when he gets home after our 6-days vacation, Charlie became calm and compliant with directions during walks and when playing indoors. In my own perspective, their passion and discipline strategies with dogs will make them qualified dog trainers. If there is an award for best dog caretakers, I will vote for them. Now, we can book our vacation without worrying who will take care of Charlie. Thank you Alexa and Andrew for the excellent service.”
“I can’t recommend Jeff enough! He was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. Luke was happy, well cared for, and relaxed when I returned. Jeff kept me updated and followed all instructions perfectly. Will 100% book again.”
“Ka Ying watched Louie for two days while we were away - she sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Followed all the eating instructions and gave Louie multiple walks. Louie came home himself and in perfect condition! I would recommend her and would use her again next time. Thank you, Ka Ying!”
“We were so happy to find Natalie, Daniel & family to care for our two dogs. They treated them like their own and were absolutely loved and spoiled. We loved getting pictures as well. We are so happy we have found someone who will love and care for our dogs when we are away!”
“Very accommodating and nice hosts for our german shepherd 🐕. He is not the easiest dog to look after but they could make a good connection with him. Our fog will sure love to stay with them again. 🐾”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jessie and Joseph. From the very first meeting, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. Throughout the time they cared for him, I received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how his day was going. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was not only being well looked after, but also loved and entertained. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about dogs, I highly recommend Jessie and Joseph.They treat your pup like family, and that’s the best gift a pet parent could ask for.”
“Ginny was absolutely the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Everything from her genuine love for dogs, communication, and even the location. She was so responsive, kept us updated with photos often. Our girl Daisy loved her so much and we felt so reassured the whole time we were away. It was a vacation for our dog and we plan to send her back to Ginny often. I cannot say enough positive things, she is PHENOMENAL!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after Diesel than Monique and her wonderful family. From the moment we left him, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Diesel was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It was clear he wasn’t just being “looked after” — he was treated like part of their family. We especially appreciated the updates and the genuine affection they showed him. When we picked him up, it was obvious he had been loved and cared for so well. A special thank you to her son as well, who formed such a sweet bond with Diesel. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Monique and her family to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet care. Thank you again for everything ❤️”
About: Hello! I’m Niroji. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have a dog named Alfie, and through caring for him, I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of dogs’ unique personalities and needs. I’ve also enrolled him in socialization classes, which has helped me learn more about canine behavior and creating positive experiences for dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for many dogs for friends and family, whether for a few hours, daily walks, or overnight stays. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I understand that every dog is different, and I strive to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I also have family members who love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, so your pup will always have company and care. 🐾 I provide a safe, calm, and supervised environment for every pet in my care. At my home, dogs are always closely monitored and have access to a fully fenced backyard with a secure, locked gate for safe outdoor play. I also have a friendly dog of my own who can offer companionship and social interaction, depending on your dog’s comfort level.
“We kept our dog with Hayley for a few nights and he had a great time. She was giving us daily updates and the dog seemed very happy. Hayley even came a few days earlier to meet and the greet the dog. Highly recommendable.”
“Stephen and Vanessa were excellent with our dog Benji and we would absolutely book with them again! They sent daily updates and even looked after him for an extra night at the last minute when our flight was delayed, which we really appreciated. It seemed like Benji had a blast playing with their kids and their dog Chewy. Highly recommend them!”
“We left Stanley in Maya's care for the past 5 days. She was kind and caring and made sure he was well looked after while we were away. Maya's communication was great, so we were very comfortable knowing our little guy was in good hands. We would happily book with Maya again, and highly recommend her to others.”
“Jin pays close attention to my dog's daily condition and communicate back to me. She is also very flexible, respond quickly, and show a lot of love. My dog is very happy in their care, which makes me feel at ease during my journey.”
“Bill and Norma watched Emma and Hannah for several days for us. It was our first time working with them as sitters. I was grateful for their patience and thoughtfulness. Hannah can be challenging, given her conversational tendencies and quirkiness. We dealt mostly with Bill. I noticed he took extra time when Hannah needed more attention. He also realized the differences in both dogs' personalities and worked to kindly manage them as they demonstrated need. I would leave our dogs with them again. They came home quiet, well adjusted and settled right back into our routine.”
“Berlin had a fantastic weekend with Francine. This is the first time we left Berlin with Francine . She is truly amazing Petsitter. Grateful that she accepted my last minute request to board Berlin. All I can say is she is great with pets . Highly recommend Francine”
“5/5 Stars – Exceptional Dog Sitting Experience! I couldn't be happier with the dog sitting service provided! From the moment I met Devi, I knew my pup, Gucci would be in good hands. They were incredibly warm and professional, and I could tell they genuinely cared about my dog's well-being. During our initial meet-and-greet, Devi asked thoughtful questions about Gucci’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions. It made me feel confident that my dog’s needs would be met. Throughout the time I was away, I received daily updates with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Gucci looked so happy in the pictures, and it was clear they had a blast on their walks and playtime. I will definitely be using Devi again for future trips and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thanks again for everything, Devi!”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly very nervous about leaving my cats in someone else's care. But Danya was absolutely wonderful and made the whole experience so reassuring! She took amazing care of our cats—spending time with them, keeping their routine, and sending regular updates and photos that really helped put my mind at ease. The updates were so detailed and my family and I looked forward to every one of them! The pictures she sent were the best! It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them with so much kindness and attention. I’m so grateful to have found Danya and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

“Khadija was a fantastic pet sitter for our Pentax! She thoughtfully added water to his wet food to help keep him hydrated during the warmer weather. By the end of her stay, Pentax had really warmed up to her, and it was clear that he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided!”

“We met Claudia and Ken the other day during our initial meet and greet and Sammy our dog obviously felt comfortable with them. Claudia took him for a walk today and he had a great time. We just adopted Sammy a few weeks ago, so we are still getting to know him and how he reacts to other people and other dogs. He trotted off with Claudia without a backward glance at me today, so that reassures me that he is happy to be with her. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

We really appreciated the updates and the love you gave him. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely love to book with you again! :)”
“Thank you Alexa & Andrew for looking after our girl! Our pup Lilou had a wonderful time with them and Bruno 🐶. They were responsive, had excellent communication during lilou’s stay and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the day. Their space was beautiful, clean and spacious and I could tell lilou was extremely comfortable and happy throughout her stay. Great people - they were outgoing, inquisitive to make they had all the info needed to care for our dog, and graceful even though lilou had a few accidents in the house. Highly recommend!”
“Po had a great time at Francine's! She was accommodating and responsive to messages. Po is usually wary of strangers at first, but he didn't bark at her (a bonus!) and was good with her. Her dog was super helpful at welcoming Po and making him less nervous.”
“Stacey took care of our Charlie in a doggy daycare at her house. Charlie was well taken care of and enjoyed watching/patrolling her backyard. We would not hesitate to leave Charlie with her again!”

“We can’t rave enough about Jeff. As new puppy parents, we were so anxious about leaving our 4-month-old puppy, Cheddar, but Jeff immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease. Every time we drop Cheddar off, he is so excited to see Jeff and his family — which says everything! Jeff has been caring for Cheddar through Rover, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He is kind, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. He took the time to understand Cheddar’s personality, helped him feel comfortable, and kept us updated throughout his stays. It’s clear that Jeff treats every dog like his own, and we feel completely confident knowing Cheddar is in his care. We cannot recommend Jeff enough and will definitely be booking with him for a long time to come!”
“Leanne was great and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog Molly with her. Leanne gave us regular updates and photos to let us know Molly was doing well. Molly came home happy and tired after playing with the other dogs. Would definitely recommend Leanne and we will be using her again for daycare soon.”
“I couldn’t be any happier with having Kumudini watch my dog Romeo! She took such great care of him, giving him plenty of care, love, and exercise!

About: I have real life experience of raising a high energy, high prey drive rescue Husky-mix alongside a cat - so I understand the full spectrum of pet behaviour and unique needs. My life genuinely revolves around my animals. I have also cared for birds and hosted friends dogs over the years. For me, caring and training go hand in hand.

My cat and dog are comfortably contained on the upper floors, giving your dog exclusive access to the entire main floor and a fully fenced private backyard. The yard backs onto a large open green space for outdoor enjoyment and fresh air. A meet and greet is required before the first booking - this ensures the best fit and complete peace of mind for you as a dog parent.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Sollin provided for Lucky during daycare. Lucky is usually pretty particular, but he felt comfortable right away and had a great time. It was clear he was in good hands. He came home relaxed, happy, and well cared for. I also really appreciated the quick communication and prompt updates. I’d absolutely trust them again!”
“Pei-Shan was wonderful. She was patient and kind as this was their first meeting. She kept us updated all through the day with lots of happy pix of our little guy. He came home happy and tired from a great day with Pei-Shan and her lovely dog. Will definitely reach out again!”
“I was so happy with Kelly's approach to my very anxious and shy dog, Doug. I have been looking for an overnight solution for Doug for when we go away - and I've found her to be too anxious in big camp environments. I thought I'd try out a dog daycare day with Kelly to see how Doug would do. Kelly was really generous with her time. We had an initial phone call, where I provided a bunch of background information on Doug. It was clear from that phone call that Kelly just really understands dogs. She took the time to find a day in her schedule that had a few dogs that would be a good fit for Doug without being overwhelming. On the day of daycare, Kelly took time to allow Doug to meet all the dogs. When Doug was still a little anxious during the day, Kelly took her on a walk to help her feel a little less anxious. She also played ball with Doug to help her warm up. (Doug is relentless with ball, so I'm sure it was a bit relentless for Kelly..:) It was amazing to see how all the dogs just listen to Kelly - with her calm and gentle approach. I'll book more daycare with Kelly and will for sure have Doug stay with her the next time we go away. Thanks Kelly!”
“It was easy coordinating pick-up and drop-off with Liz. She sent us pictures during Mylo's daycare stay and gave us feedback about how he did with the other dogs. We'd book with her again!”
“Having previously worked in commercial dog daycares myself, and seeing the chaos that happens there, I was super nervous about finding a place for Jules to stay while I go into the office. I am really happy to have found Bernice & Mark to look after Jules! They were very understanding and accommodating of Jules’ quirks and were happy to continue the positive reinforcement I use with him at home. I received updates throughout the day with pictures and he was even calm enough to settle and have a nap! Which is a big deal - Jules is usually too overstimulated in new environments to settle, so seeing him so relaxed assured me that I had made the right choice in Bernice & Mark.”

They went above and beyond by wiping paws and were very patient and understanding with all of our requests. Would recommend them to other fur parents!”
“We booked Mathusan on short notice for 3 walks this week. He was very responsive and worked with us for all the logistics. We started with a meet and greet and instantly, Audley loved him!

He also gave us timely and regular updates which gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing that she was in good hands. Mathusan and Keishiya provided great suggestions to help navigate puppyhood.

“I can’t recommend Randy enough! When I faced an emergency and couldn’t be there for my three ESA bullies, who are my world, Randy stepped in and went above and beyond. He cared for them like they were his own, feeding them, walking them, and even taking them by the river. He adapted perfectly to my rescue, and even helped him gain confidence despite being scared of his own shadow, and made sure all three felt safe and happy. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. Truly outstanding service—thank you, Randy!”

We appreciate the regular updates and photos of their daily escapades, which truly demonstrate the excellent care and attention.We are immensely grateful to Alexandra for her outstanding care of our furry baby!”

“Heli and Chintankumar took care of our dog for 4 days and couldn't be happier. Our Ellie was walked a numerous times a day. She also spent lots of time in a private dog park behind their building. She was even given a bath on the day we picked her up. Highly recommended!”
“This was Louie’s 2nd stay with Xintian and her family. He was happy to be dropped off at her house again, and was treated with kindness and care. This is a huge help to us, as we have peace of mind when we are away. We will definitely reach out to Xintian again in the future!”
“Andrew and Alexa went beyond and above taking care of Charlie. Our baby is very challenging due to past experiences and high energy level that Charlie needs effective and efficient strategies to make his day fun and not boring. Alexa and Andrew did incredible care for our baby that when he gets home after our 6-days vacation, Charlie became calm and compliant with directions during walks and when playing indoors. In my own perspective, their passion and discipline strategies with dogs will make them qualified dog trainers. If there is an award for best dog caretakers, I will vote for them. Now, we can book our vacation without worrying who will take care of Charlie. Thank you Alexa and Andrew for the excellent service.”

Our girl Daisy loved her so much and we felt so reassured the whole time we were away. It was a vacation for our dog and we plan to send her back to Ginny often. I cannot say enough positive things, she is PHENOMENAL!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after Diesel than Monique and her wonderful family. From the moment we left him, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Diesel was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It was clear he wasn’t just being “looked after” — he was treated like part of their family. We especially appreciated the updates and the genuine affection they showed him. When we picked him up, it was obvious he had been loved and cared for so well. A special thank you to her son as well, who formed such a sweet bond with Diesel. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Monique and her family to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet care. Thank you again for everything ❤️”

“5/5 Stars – Exceptional Dog Sitting Experience! I couldn't be happier with the dog sitting service provided! From the moment I met Devi, I knew my pup, Gucci would be in good hands. They were incredibly warm and professional, and I could tell they genuinely cared about my dog's well-being. During our initial meet-and-greet, Devi asked thoughtful questions about Gucci’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions. It made me feel confident that my dog’s needs would be met. Throughout the time I was away, I received daily updates with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Gucci looked so happy in the pictures, and it was clear they had a blast on their walks and playtime. I will definitely be using Devi again for future trips and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thanks again for everything, Devi!”
“Another successful visit with Charmaine. This time our dog stayed overnight for 2 nights. Charmaine is attentive and caring. I received many pictures and videos of Kiki’s stay. Charmaine’s dog Luna is a wonderful companion. Kiki got at least 4 walks a day plus lots of play time. Kiki is looking forward to his next visit.”
