“Xintian and her husband did a wonderful job of looking after our 9 month old puppy. Chelsea is still hyper. They walked her 2x a day and gave her lots of opportunities to play outside with their doggie! This was our first time leaving Chelsea and we are very pleased with how they looked after her!”
“Maria is wonderful! She watched our dog for 5 days while we were away and sent many pictures and updates. Mipha came home happy and pooped! We are very grateful to have found someone so close by who can take such wonderful care of our dog!”
“We unfortunately had to end our stay about a week early as Poki did not get along with another boarding dog. That being said, Monique and her family were incredibly lovely and the circumstances were unfortunate! She was very accommodating, communicative, and clearly has a passion for dogs. I absolutely would use Monique again but would have Poki as the only dog in the house.”
“We had such a great experience with Kumudini!! She took amazing care of our 9-year-old Morkie, who has severe anxiety, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the whole time. She kept us constantly updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. He was well-fed, cared for, and protected as if he were her own. Overall, she went above and beyond, and we truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him. Highly recommend!”
“Let’s just say that my dogs were absolutely spoilt! It is always worrying for us, as one of our dog has severe separation anxiety. So, was quite comforting to know that my dogs were having a great time while we were away, inspite of leaving them in a place they were not too familiar with. Daniel, and family took care of them like their own. I would highly recommend them, and I am definitely going to board my dogs again real soon. Thank you so much!!”
“Mya was wonderful. Our dogs were very happy and very well cared for. She looked after our 2 dogs for a little more than a week and sent photos and communicated daily. I would highly recommend Mya for any of your pet-sitting needs.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Shirley looked after my dog, Gordie, over a long weekend in early December. She went above and beyond, tending to all his needs and ensuring his comfort, as well as mine! She sent me regular updates as well as a few photos. I would highly recommend Shirley to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets. Thanks so much, Shirley (and Carleigh, too)!!”
“Susan and Gordon have a comfortable home. They are very loving towards their dog. Our pup had a wonderful time there! We will hire Susan and Gordon again for a longer period of time.”
“Hayley took such great care of Ella while we were away. She updated us daily with pictures and comments. She was very caring and loving towards my dog. Her and Jake kept Ella happy and entertained and even took her for an outing to the waterfront! I look forward to using Hayley again and would highly recommend her :)”
“Lauren has been very accommodating with our needs. We left Teddy our medium size cockapoo 3 years old for 6 nights with her. She took very good care of him and he came back very happy. Thanks Lauren😊”
“Honeylyn did an amazing job with my fur baby. I left my bichon frise overnight and felt like I never left Cloud at all since she sent me loads of pictures and a video. My Cloud loves her and her beautiful daughters. Will definitely come back and refer to my friends.”
“Yuxi was an excellent dog sitter! My dog, Miku, stayed with her for a day, and Yuxi went above and beyond to ensure we were worry-free. She regularly updated us with lots of photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind. Yuxi was responsible, caring, and attentive to Miku's needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Al was a wonderful host for our anxious and sensitive doodle. We had to extend our booking for a day, at the last minute and Al was more than happy to accommodate. Our little fellow was very happy there which we could see from the photos Al sent us throughout his stay. We would definitely rebook and recommend Al to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming host.”
“We had such a great experience with Nehal! Cooper stayed with her for 2 days, and she took such amazing care of him. She made sure he felt comfortable and at home, and it was so nice to see him having a great time with her dog, Albus. They became good little friends! Nehal even took Cooper on a hike and sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Cooper was happy, active, and very well cared for. We really appreciate all the love and attention she gave him and would definitely recommend Nehal to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Lori is amazing! We were hesitant to leave our 1 year old lab for the first time but Lori was so welcoming and took such good care of him! Our pup has a lot of energy and she made sure to tire him out by bringing other dogs over for playtime. Lori kept us updated throughout his stay with photos & videos which we so appreciated. Thank you Lori!”
“Poppy had a wonderful time staying with Angela. She provided frequent updates to ease our minds since this was our first time leaving Poppy with a sitter. Our dog was so happy to play with Quentin so much that she didn't want to go home when we came to pick her up. We will definitely be boarding here again the next time we go on a trip!”

“We really appreciate Xuefeng taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. She was very responsible and always on time, even when the weather was bad. Our cats truly liked her and seemed very happy and comfortable in her care. She is very experienced with cats and knows how to handle them well. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Cassandra went above and beyond for us on our latest trip. She took care of our cat George for 2.5 weeks while we were abroad. She noticed some areas of health concerns George was having after the first week. With our consent she took him to the vet and resolved his issues. We couldn't be happier!”

I also have experience training dogs and reinforcing good habits and basic commands. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting to each dog’s personality, routine, and energy level.

I always supervise pets while outside and make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home while they’re with me.

I make sure they're fed, have fresh water, keep litter boxes clean, and spend quality time playing or keeping them company. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I always tailor my care to help them feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed.
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 contacted Farah pretty much last minute to look after my cat for 5 days. She responded promptly and quickly accepted my request! She did everything I requested and more! She kept Luna's area clean and tidy. She even left catnip for my cat on the last day. She was attentive and I think she did a fabulous job. Although my cat is on the shy side, she still tried to get her comfortable with her. She even stayed an extra 40 minutes! She was always on time and messaged me with photos and updates, which I really appreciated. If I ever need someone to look after Luna in the future, it will definitely be Farah!”

“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!”

“Tofu enjoyed his time at daycare at Xintian’s house. She and her family were warm and it seems like they treated Tofu like he was apart of their family! Thanks for looking after him! Will rebook 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.”

About: Hello, My name is Nikita and I would love to care for your four legged baby just like you do. I have grown up with animals all my life and trust me when I say this that my friends call me the universal dog mother 🫡 The reason I dog sit is because I understand the pain of parting with your pet temporarily. From finding the right dog sitter to having anxiety about the well being of your companion can all be difficult. My idea of dog sitting is to make sure your pet is as comfortable as he/she can be to process the temporary change.

As you can read from my reviews, I invest time in their well being and make sure you are at peace with regular photo updates.

About: As the owner of a lively Husky, I’ve gained invaluable experience managing high-energy, strong-willed dogs. I understand the importance of regular exercise and mental stimulation for dogs like Huskies and am confident in my ability to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My dog care services include: - Energetic Walks: Whether your dog needs a slow, relaxing stroll or a fast-paced, high-energy walk, I’ll tailor the experience to meet their exercise needs. - Puppy and Senior Dog Care: I’m patient with puppies still learning the ropes and sensitive to the special needs of older dogs who may require shorter walks or gentler care. - Behavioral Understanding: With years of experience, I’m familiar with the quirks and behaviors of dogs, from playful pups to more independent dogs that just need a reliable walker. I ensure that each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’ll treat your dog like my own, making sure they stay happy, healthy, and loved while in my care.

My own routine with my Husky involves daily walks, so I’m always ready for extra activity and am comfortable with high-energy dogs that require more exercise. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When walking dogs, I use secure, well-fitted leashes and harnesses, and always choose safe walking routes with low traffic. I pay close attention to your dog’s behavior during walks, ensuring that they are safe from potential hazards like other animals or distractions.

I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own, ensuring their well-being in a calm, caring environment. Whether at your home or on a walk, your dog will be in reliable, experienced hands.
“Charlie had a great first day with Mia. She was very welcoming and attentive and really tried to get to know what Charlie would need or want to feel comfortable. She sent updates and pictures on a regular basis which I appreciated as a first time Rover user. Charlie is booked weekly now and he can’t wait to go back. Thanks Mia!”
“First time leaving my pup with Liz and had a great experience! I reached out last minute and she was accommodating and willing to take him the next day. Liz sent photos and kept me updated on his progress, he looked like he had a great time there. Will definitely come back again, thank you!”

“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! They had the best cuddles and she felt really comfortable which was important to us. 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. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing sitter/walker!”
“Alexa and Andrew were amazing to work with! Despite all the puppy energy, they were very accommodating and knew how to handle our pup during the walk. 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!”
“Hannah took my request for dog walking at the last minute when my work schedule changed. Hannah responded very quickly and offered to call if that was easier for me at work. Hannah was great with my puppy, Anakin. He is four months old and has only been with me for a few weeks - so he has a touch of separation anxiety. Hannah was flexible and allowed my brother to support Anakin as he was struggling to start the walk with a stranger. This was not planned so it is extra appreciated. My brother said she was absolutely wonderful with Anakin. She handles puppies like a pro! I will definitely be seeking Hannah’s services again. Thank you, Hannah!”
“It was our first time using Rover and Courtney is amazing. She was so great with our 2 dogs. We used her for 2 days for walks and check ins. She sent pictures and updates and made the whole process easy for us. Great experience and we will definitely be using her again”
“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!”

“I can't describe how full my heart is for the time and care Malik gave our Tyson. Malik went out of his way to make sure Tyson enjoyed his walks. To say Malik went above and beyond to provide our pup with love and company would be an understatement. Malik communicated with me throughout the process, he took the time to really learn Tyson's habits, likes, dislikes, and even thresholds before the walks. I'd absolutely recommend/rebook Malik... so would Tyson!!!”

About: I have cat and dog sitter experiences as a forster family. No matter your furry lovely pal is shy or outgoing, I always have ways to approach and we could become friends quickly. Currently working part time, flexible schedule. Enough time to stay accompany with the furry friend. We can play games inside or outside in the yard with fence, go for a walk, etc. Enough room for dog or cat to play. An empty room and a spare cage is ready in case needed. Yard with fence to play. Own a cat myself so I always make sure the window, the screen window and the door is locked.
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.

“Xintian and her husband did a wonderful job of looking after our 9 month old puppy. Chelsea is still hyper. They walked her 2x a day and gave her lots of opportunities to play outside with their doggie! This was our first time leaving Chelsea and we are very pleased with how they looked after her!”
“We unfortunately had to end our stay about a week early as Poki did not get along with another boarding dog. That being said, Monique and her family were incredibly lovely and the circumstances were unfortunate! She was very accommodating, communicative, and clearly has a passion for dogs. I absolutely would use Monique again but would have Poki as the only dog in the house.”
“Let’s just say that my dogs were absolutely spoilt! It is always worrying for us, as one of our dog has severe separation anxiety. So, was quite comforting to know that my dogs were having a great time while we were away, inspite of leaving them in a place they were not too familiar with. Daniel, and family took care of them like their own. I would highly recommend them, and I am definitely going to board my dogs again real soon. Thank you so much!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Shirley looked after my dog, Gordie, over a long weekend in early December. She went above and beyond, tending to all his needs and ensuring his comfort, as well as mine! She sent me regular updates as well as a few photos. I would highly recommend Shirley to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets. Thanks so much, Shirley (and Carleigh, too)!!”
“Susan and Gordon have a comfortable home. They are very loving towards their dog. Our pup had a wonderful time there! We will hire Susan and Gordon again for a longer period of time.”
“Hayley took such great care of Ella while we were away. She updated us daily with pictures and comments. She was very caring and loving towards my dog. Her and Jake kept Ella happy and entertained and even took her for an outing to the waterfront! I look forward to using Hayley again and would highly recommend her :)”
“Lauren has been very accommodating with our needs. We left Teddy our medium size cockapoo 3 years old for 6 nights with her. She took very good care of him and he came back very happy. Thanks Lauren😊”
“Honeylyn did an amazing job with my fur baby. I left my bichon frise overnight and felt like I never left Cloud at all since she sent me loads of pictures and a video. My Cloud loves her and her beautiful daughters. Will definitely come back and refer to my friends.”
“Al was a wonderful host for our anxious and sensitive doodle. We had to extend our booking for a day, at the last minute and Al was more than happy to accommodate. Our little fellow was very happy there which we could see from the photos Al sent us throughout his stay. We would definitely rebook and recommend Al to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming host.”
“We had such a great experience with Nehal! Cooper stayed with her for 2 days, and she took such amazing care of him. She made sure he felt comfortable and at home, and it was so nice to see him having a great time with her dog, Albus. They became good little friends! Nehal even took Cooper on a hike and sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Cooper was happy, active, and very well cared for. We really appreciate all the love and attention she gave him and would definitely recommend Nehal to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Lori is amazing! We were hesitant to leave our 1 year old lab for the first time but Lori was so welcoming and took such good care of him! Our pup has a lot of energy and she made sure to tire him out by bringing other dogs over for playtime. Lori kept us updated throughout his stay with photos & videos which we so appreciated. Thank you Lori!”
“Lylle was absolutely amazing! He looked after my German Shepherd, Alpha, for about a week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, he was incredibly kind, communicative, and professional. He also has such a wonderful family, and Alpha clearly loved being around them he looked so happy and comfortable the entire time. Lylle took exceptional care of Alpha, regularly sending me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Lylle made the whole process effortless. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Truly a 10/10 experience! ⭐️”
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.
“Penny was a guest of Amrit and her family for 2 days and she had a fantastic time. We were updated daily with pics and videos We will definitely be booking with Amrit again. Thanks again for taking such good care of Penny.”
“Mira and Charles did a great job with Thibault when we were away on vacation! Thibault seemed extremely happy with his stay and they took great care of him! We would highly recommend Mira and Charles!”
“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!”
“Richard and Emma looked after our dog Moji for a week. I like that they only had our dog for the stay. They were very responsible and I felt Moji was well looked after. I would definitely book with them again.”
