“Amazing folks! Browning is high energy and came home so calm and rested well from his time spent with Courtney and Ryan. We took comfort when Courtney and Ryan reached out to let us know how Browning was doing. Hat's off to these folks and the good work they do and cuddles that they give. We will be frequent flyers to St Thomas with our first stop to Courtney and Ryan's house.”
“We are so grateful to have found Rita M. to look after our nine-year-old Sheltie, Ella, while away on a recent two-week trip overseas. Rita is a warm, caring, and conscientious person who went above and beyond to assure us that Ella was in good hands. As Ella is not used to being left alone or away from her pet parents for long periods, we were so glad for Rita's calm and "chill" personality and Ella seemed right at home with her very quickly. We loved getting the daily updates and photos of Ella's stay with her temporary pet mom. All of Ella's daily diet and medicine requirements were duly fulfilled and she was very happy and healthy upon our return home. We would highly recommend choosing Rita as your Rover pet sitter and Ella looks forward to many future visits with her. Thanks again to Rita and Rover!”
“They are both great in taking care for our dog while we are out of the country. Specially when our dog has diarhea they know how to handle that kind of situation.”
“So lovely! Jinx had an amazing time with Alexis and her boy Milo. Alexis took extra care during a sensitive time for Jinx and truly went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and well cared for :)”
“We had a wonderful experience with Joyce’s services! She took great care of our 7 month old puppy! We received multiple updates and pics of Juno enjoying her stay! I would definitely book with Joyce again!”
“This is the third time I’ve left Ollie with Carol - this time it was for my wedding out of town. We had peace of mind knowing that Ollie was in such good hands with Carol and her family. Carol is so wonderful, caring, and reliable. Thank you Carol!!”
“Suki loved her stay with Jennifer and family. She felt at home and comfortable right away. I would HIGHLY recommend Jennifer and her pet sitting services to ALL my friends with furry people. She is very warm and friendly and was great with Suki. When we came home after our weekend away Suki was relaxed and happy.”
“Sayali took great care of Frank and I was able to enjoy my time knowing he was in good hands. Her updates were very helpful and Frankie loved playing with her dogs in the backyard!”
“Morgan is very friendly and really knows dogs of all kinds of behaviour. She made my dog feel instantly comfortable and took great care of my dog over the weekend. I already have another weekend booked for next month. Thank you, Morgan, for being so great to my anxious pup.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for over 25 years and understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m an empty nester and home throughout the day, so your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, companionship, outdoor time and affection. My home in Port Stanley is quiet and pet-free, with a large fully fenced yard where your dog can safely enjoy plenty of fresh air and playtime. I only host dogs from one family at a time, making my home especially comfortable for dogs who may not enjoy a busy kennel or being around unfamiliar pets. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine and provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re being well cared for. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with family. ❤️ I’m home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship, attention and outdoor time. I’m available for both overnight boarding and doggy daycare throughout the week. With a large fenced yard, frequent potty breaks and playtime are easy to fit into our day. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routine so they feel comfortable and at home. I provide a quiet, comfortable, pet-free home with a large fully fenced yard where your dog can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I only host dogs from one family at a time, so your dog receives plenty of individual attention without being surrounded by unfamiliar pets. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, medications, walks and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates throughout their stay.
“Argento had a great time! It was so nice that you sent photos to show us how he was doing. He looked like he was smiling!! He got lots of walks and games of fetch - two of his favourite things. Thank you for taking such great care of him!”
About: Grew up with and around dogs. My brother and his chocolate lab are moved out now. I would love to have a dog of my own one day. Hoping to fill the void until then by giving this a try. I currently work full time. I am available from 5pm onwards through out the week for walking. My home is available on weekends for sitting/overnight stays. I live in the country with a large yard and woods behind my house. Great for walks and playing. Dogs are welcome everywhere in house except bedrooms.
“Lea was amazing with my cat. He's normally very shy and hides the whole time, but she convinced him to come out! Her home is very clean and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“I cannot recommend Janet enough!! She was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of our Honey. She was excellent at sending photos and videos and updates. Honey was with Janet for 3 weeks and we knew without a doubt that she was being loved and cared for beautifully. Thank you so much Janet!!”
“Takes good care of pet. However, it is good note that she seems to take care of other dogs at the same time as far as I could ascertain … also, she has a very friendly golden retriever, which is good. My main tip to her is that she should take more videos and photos throughout the day of the babysat dog and interactions with her other dogs. Regardless of all the points mentioned above, the service isgenerally high quality. We would book her again.”

“Adlynn and her family, two doggies and partner, did an outstanding job of caring for my dog. He was very nervous and not used to being away from me. Adlynn was able to gradually get him to feel safe and he really enjoyed the rest of the time there. I would highly recommend!”

“Brooke was absolutely wonderful! She did a great job dropping in to care for our two cats over the weekend. Has a lovely calm energy and followed the pet care instructions very well.”
“Thanks, Rita, for everything. It was clear from the beginning the boys were calm (as calm as they get!) and comfortable in your presence - and so were we. We appreciate your responsiveness and kindness. Hope to see you again!”
“Appreciated Dannie’s ability to work around my changing schedule. Dannie was terrific in responding to messages and coming out to meet the crew and go over their routines and various aspects of the house. Dannie was also terrific with the 3 cats and sent me photos and updates. They are indoor outdoor cats and she managed that well plus keeping the bird feeder topped up. Washing was done before I arrived home to a home cooked meal and some lovely flowers. I would highly recommend Dannie. A responsible and caring sitter. You will feel comfortable and confident leaving her to be in charge.”

About: Hi there, My name is Alexis, and I am an Elementary School Teacher, looking for a side gig to make some extra money working with animals! For my entire life, I have had personal experience caring for and walking dogs as I have always had at least one or two of my own at home. I have had 10 years of experience dog walking, and pet sitting here and there for friends, family and neighbours. I currently have a border collie x Labrador retriever mix, and I have had many others dogs including smaller dogs in the past. I love dogs of any breed and size and am able to work with more than one at a time for those with more than one dog in the family. I have had experience training my own dogs throughout my life for puppy age, as well as have worked with senior dogs as well. I love dogs and pets of any kind, and hopefully, look forward to meeting your furry friends. Connect with me if you are interested or have any questions, text, call or email me. I will get back to you as soon as I can. I am currently working full time as a teacher from 9-3:30 Monday - Friday. So I am available in the early morning or early and later evening. I am also available on the weekends and holidays. For dog boarding, I can take dogs for longer stays, they would sometimes just have longer days at home without a human. 8 hours max. I have a fenced in yard and a lovey border collie at home to keep your furry friend company. I can offer crating, treats and adventures when your dog stays with me. Your dog would get walks depending on their physical needs and a solid routine with consistent feeding times and exercise.

“This was my first time leaning my dogs with Rita for the day. She was very caring and patient with them and also sent me their pictures and a video which put me at ease. Thanks again Rita!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and have also fostered dogs of all ages, so I’m comfortable caring for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate those differences. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special feeding instructions, and maintaining your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I’m home with the dogs throughout the day, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision. I offer both daytime care and overnight stays. I have a large fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, and I’m happy to take dogs for walks as well. I live on a quiet rural property with a large fenced-in yard and plenty of space to relax and play. I have two young children and one older dog who has previously lived happily with another dog and is accustomed to having other dogs around. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I’ll send regular photos and updates during their stay so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.

“My first time using Rover and I could not be happier! Smita was very reassuring with video/pic and text updates and my girls were genuinely happy in the videos. We did a day care day as a trial for my upcoming trip and I have to say I feel very at ease leaving my little ladies with Smita and her husband!”
“I’ve rebooked with Jen multiple times for daycare and overnight stays. I’m someone who’s chronically anxious about leaving my pooch with someone new, but never with her! She’s so good at always sending updates and pictures on how the stay is going. Goose loves going to her place and hanging out with her family or playing with her dog! I wouldn’t ever hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter.”
“Had a great experience with Angela and her family! They have the calm temperament and lifestyle that my doggy needs and sent me many photos/videos throughout their time together. Definitely will be a consistent customer!”
“She was amazing and I’ll always come to her if I need someone to take care of Maverick. She made sure my puppy who is 5 months was introduced to the other dogs slowly and comfortably. She sent me many updates, photos and videos. I had someone cancel on me last minute and she responds right away. I’m very happy and recommend her to anyone using this app! She also has a lot of availability, flexibility, a yard and ensures the puppies needs are being met. She made sure all my questions were answered and that I was confident to put Maverick in her care!”
“William and Hillary are great! Very accomodating and great communication. My 2 labs were there for daycare and they both had a great time. Their dog Bella is very friendly, everyone got along great!”

“Shakira took such great care of my puppy! She gave tons of love, and kept me updated with cute pics. My pup was happy and well taken care of the whole time. When Bruce came home he was sweet and sleepy boy! Definitely will be coming back to Shakira for future dog care!”

About: Raised on a farm caring for dogs, I’ve taken them boating and fishing, and they always enjoy taking me on long, happy walks wherever we go. I’m their thunderstorm protector and the king pin of snuggle time on every visit. I work from home and my wife is always here, so pets get constant attention. Our days start with walks and end relaxing together outside in our yard. Raised on a farm, I create a safe, calm home for overnight care. We also happily visit other homes for pet relief, keeping routines steady and stress‑free.
“I'm so happy I reached out to Sandra for daycare for my 9 month old herding pup, Buddy. She responded right away and asked all the right questions. I could tell right away she was a pro at reading dogs' body language and at kindly managing the behavioral issues we've been struggling with. She offered great advice and worked with him throughout his entire stay. He even trained at her side as she worked at the market which was an invaluable experience, especially for a nervous pup at his age. You can be confident leaving your pet with Sandra knowing they are in the best hands. I look forward to them spending more time together again soon.”
“Marcia was absolutely wonderful with our 9 week old puppy. She gave him an at home feel and gave me piece of mind while I was working. I will definitely be having her watch our pup again!”

About: Growing up we had various pets to take care of and learn responsibility for so my love of animals started young. I have over the years done drop in visits, overnight stays at your home as well as having your pet at my own place. Each pet is unique and their care should reflect that. I have cared for senior animals with various medication requirement as well as puppies just finding their bearings. I appreciate the simplicity of going for a walk and believe that having a dog alongside yo u enhances the experience. I currently work shift work with 5 days off at a time so my schedule fluctuates, but allows for an ample amount of free time to be adjusted for your needs. Prior to care, I would discuss with you the pet's schedule and routine as well as their needs to ensure they get the proper care. This would also include any additional information about your pet for situational circumstances and their personality. While your animal is in my care I do provide updates to give peace of mind.
“needed someone to accompany me on my walks and found Walter! This is a new experience for me and my dog Jojo and it went very well - even better than I imagined, both of us feel more comfortable so yay:D”
About: I’ve been working with animals for as long as I can remember. I have two years of professional animal care experience, along with a lifetime of personal experience with a wide variety of animals — including guinea pigs, fish, horses, goats, cats, chickens, and more! I’m also experienced in caring for animals with special needs and administering medications. Patience, understanding, and compassion are at the heart of how I approach every animal — I always strive to meet your pet exactly where they’re at. I can’t wait to meet your furbaby! I am not working at the moment so I have plenty of time to focus on your pet's needs! They will be the main part of my routine. Safety will be my biggest priority when working with your pet. I will make sure they are supervised at all times outside. They will always be leashed during walks and, I will make sure the equipment you've requested to be used is secure and put on correctly.
“Although Nicole and I were not able to complete our days of dog walks, I enjoyed meeting her so much and the one walk my dog had was very successful. We have just been through the worst heat wave I ever remember in Southwestern Ontario, so it was just too hot for my dog and for Nicole to be walking. But we stayed in touch each day and made our decisions together about the extreme weather. I'm only sorry that we did not get to know each other better. I would never hesitate to contact her another time.”
About: Hi, My name is Lisa! :) Animals have always had such a special spot in my heart. Their innocence, loyalty and friendship is truly such a gift to us as humans. Being raised with multiple Golden Retrievers since I was 11 years old has taught me a lot about doggies. I have been around the puppy stage many times and I know that not only are they adorable but they do require babysitting and lots of attention. My own dogs, as well as others, have become seniors and I am aware of how delicate that season of their life is too. I am extra attentive to animals needs and am often the one in a group that over makes sure the dog has enough water, that they are up to date on eating and that their needs have been met. Snuggle time is also a bonus :) I can assure you that you won't need to worry at all if your fur-family member is being cared for when you are away! I have a family Golden Retriever. Although I am back and forth from my parents place, seeing him, spending time with him and being there for him is a pleasure! I am more than willing to come and stay at my clients homes while they are away to fursit! Whether its walks, runs, or special care that is needed for their loved one, I would love to be able to provide that for them.
About: I love dogs and going on long walks; it’s the best of both worlds! I have worked with dogs of various ages, energy levels, and behaviour. Whether your dog likes to run, play, and walk for hours, or just likes to chill with a pal, I got it! I have worked with puppies and older dogs, reactive dogs when other dogs are near, feeding dogs medication, beep collars, crate-trained dogs, etc. I’d love to meet your fur-friends, learn more about them, and will happily accompany them on walks and play time! I am currently working part-time, more so in the evenings, so I have plenty of time from early mornings til 2-4 that I can walk your pups and provide pet care. As it is only part-time, I am still able to work evenings sometimes! I am in school from Sept.-April, therefore I have plenty of time for long walks and pet care now and am available to be your daily morning dog-walker! I do not offer pet care in my home, although am able to provide pet care in a clients home! All of my pet care experience has been in other people’s homes, whether it was dropping in for a potty break, quick walk, or a long walk, even last minute! I have also provided pet care staying overnight in a client’s home for a minimum of 1 night-2.5 weeks. I may not be able to get time off of my part-time job when staying in a client’s home so I hope it is okay if I am gone for 4-8 hours in the evening for a couple of the evenings, if it falls on the days I am scheduled. I have always made sure to time out feeding and walks according to my work schedule when needed.
About: I've had dogs all my life honestly. Big and small. I'm also the friend everyone goes to when they need helpnwith their dog. I have experience with breeds from chihuahuas to huskies. I currently have a very flexible schedule as inonly work part time. I am gone every other weekend tho. I'd be able to accommodate almost any schedule. I'd be following any given instructions for the dogs home and would keep them in the routine. Comfortable happyband loved. Your dog would also have a playmate with mine if friendly for park dates so they wouldn't be inside all day long.
About: I specialize in caring for high-energy dogs who need more than just a walk. As the owner of a young, energetic American Labrador, Reni, I understand how important exercise, patience, enrichment, and mental stimulation are for dogs with lots of energy. Reni has taught me how to channel that energy in positive ways through training, enrichment activities, scent work, and engaging play. I’ve loved dogs my entire life and grew up with family dogs and other animals. I also have experience caring for neighbours’ pets and have developed hands-on experience with positive reinforcement and managing some dog reactivity through my own dog. I’m patient, reliable, and passionate about helping high-energy dogs feel happy, fulfilled, and well cared for. I work an 8am-4pm schedule from home, allowing for some flexibility during the day and I can largely accomodate walks before and after work and on weekends. I strive to make your time away as stress free as possible for your pet. By following their regular routine and giving them plenty of attention, affection and excercise.
About: Depuis toute petite, je me suis occupé de mon chat et des animaux de mes parents. En étant plus vieille, j'ai eu l'occasion de m'occuper des chiens de ma sœur. J'ai la passion des animaux dans le sang. J'aimerais faire se travail à temps pleins. Lorsque j'aurai réunis assez d'argents, j'aimerais ouvrir mon propre studio de photographie animalière et faire du pet sitting en plus de cela. Ce serait mon plus grand rêve. Vous pouvez avoir une totale confiance envers moi. Je suis là pour vos chers animaux et pour eux seulement. J'ai toujours eu une connexion profonde envers les animaux, comme si j'étais destinés à les côtoyer. Je veux ce qu'il y a de mieux pour toutes les créatures de la planète. Si je pouvais adopter tout les animaux qui existe, je le ferais sans hésiter.
About: With over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in creating a calm, safe, and structured environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups who need plenty of play and stimulation, or senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, I’m confident in providing the right level of care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication with pet parents, and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and offering basic training reinforcement. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully present during every visit or stay. Let’s make your pet’s time away from you feel just like home—safe, happy, and well-cared for! I work from home and my wife is sometimes working from home. So we can take care of the pups together during the week and weekends we both are home and take out dogs for play and activities. I have a fenced yard and my dog loves playing in there. Lots of space to play around. I take them for walks every 2 to 4 hours to get their business done.

“Amazing folks! Browning is high energy and came home so calm and rested well from his time spent with Courtney and Ryan. We took comfort when Courtney and Ryan reached out to let us know how Browning was doing. Hat's off to these folks and the good work they do and cuddles that they give. We will be frequent flyers to St Thomas with our first stop to Courtney and Ryan's house.”
“They are both great in taking care for our dog while we are out of the country. Specially when our dog has diarhea they know how to handle that kind of situation.”
“Kollin is a great sitter - easy going but attentive, and super kind. And his dogs are so sweet. Bella had a great (and tiring!) day with them. I highly recommend Kollin.”
“Angela and her family were wonderful. They agreed to have a meet and greet before hand to make sure our dog felt comfortable. Immediately he seemed comfortable with them and vice versa. They were very easy going and accommodating of our changing drop off / pick up times. Angela sent LOTS of photos and updates of our dog and we were so grateful. This really helped ease the anxiety we had about leaving him for the first time with new people. We will be using Angela again in the future! :)”
“So lovely! Jinx had an amazing time with Alexis and her boy Milo. Alexis took extra care during a sensitive time for Jinx and truly went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and well cared for :)”

“Yoda provided loving and responsive care for our dog. It was our first time using Rover and what a great experience. She is a great communicator and kept us informed of how Piper was doing. We will definitely have Yoda care for Piper again. It is clear she is a true dog lover and has created a very welcoming space for dogs to be in her care.”

Thank you so much for taking such good care of her! 🐾”

About: Grew up with and around dogs. My brother and his chocolate lab are moved out now. I would love to have a dog of my own one day. Hoping to fill the void until then by giving this a try. I currently work full time. I am available from 5pm onwards through out the week for walking. My home is available on weekends for sitting/overnight stays. I live in the country with a large yard and woods behind my house. Great for walks and playing. Dogs are welcome everywhere in house except bedrooms.
“Lea was amazing with my cat. He's normally very shy and hides the whole time, but she convinced him to come out! Her home is very clean and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Shakira took great care of our beagle, Pippin. She was accommodating to our last minute need for care and flexible with our pick up time. She kept me updated and sent photos for us to check in. Such a great location close to the highway exit. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Michelle did an amazing job with our goldens! She quickly adapted to their needs, and gave them so much love! We so appreciated the many updates with pictures and videos, and we were able to enjoy our weekend away knowing that they were well cared for. Thank you!”
“Takes good care of pet. However, it is good note that she seems to take care of other dogs at the same time as far as I could ascertain … also, she has a very friendly golden retriever, which is good. My main tip to her is that she should take more videos and photos throughout the day of the babysat dog and interactions with her other dogs. Regardless of all the points mentioned above, the service isgenerally high quality. We would book her again.”
“Adlynn and her family, two doggies and partner, did an outstanding job of caring for my dog. He was very nervous and not used to being away from me. Adlynn was able to gradually get him to feel safe and he really enjoyed the rest of the time there. I would highly recommend!”
