“Katherine is absolutely incredible, from the first time you meet her and her adorable daughter you can see how much they absolutely adore animals! I was constantly updated about rozie and the pictures and videos were absolutely heartwarming. Rozie can’t wait to go back to this incredible house with some incredible people. Do your animal a favour and see if you’ll be lucky enough for Katherine to look after your animal.”
“Heather was 10/10 during the whole process. It was our first time user rover and she made everything seem so flawless! She constantly sent photos and updates and when there was a change of plans, Heather didn’t hesitate! I will definitely be booking my girly with her again!”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to take care of my 10 year old Goldendoodle, Ginger! Anne and Andrew were amazing with caring for her while I was overseas for two months! Anne kept me in the loop with tons of updates and pictures. You could tell Ginger really grew attached to them, and she seemed so comfortable and happy there. She was spoiled and allowed up on the couch and even cuddled up in their bed! They also have an older Goldendoodle who’s the sweetest, and they got along so well. Their place is beautiful, safe, and perfect for dogs. I’d absolutely trust them with Ginger anytime and will definitely use them again. Anne and Andrew are truly wonderful dog sitters!”
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“Cindy made us feel very comfortable with leaving our girl with her. This was our first time using Rover and I’m so happy we picked Cindy. She has excellent communication skills and made sure to send pictures throughout Maple’s stay. We will absolutely take Maple back to Cindy’s next time we are going away.”
“Jillian was amazing. Lots of updates with photos. Our Luna really seemed to love her. She also took Luna on some good hikes/walks as she requires lots of exercise. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Max has never stayed away - and as a nervous pet owner - I was reassured throughout his stay with updates and pictures! I couldn't have asked for a better experience :)”
About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!
“Geo and Amanda are absolute gems of dog sitters. They took in both of my dogs just as their own and updated me thoroughly throughout each day. Their home was so beautiful and such a comfy safe space for my dogs to run and rest. They were absolutely so kind and made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were in safe hands!”
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
“Angi was phenomenal every step of the way! From coordinating the weekend to the actual dog sitting, it was a great experience and we were so happy/comfortable. Highly recommend and I would rebook with Angi when we’re in the area in the future!”
“Once again Fisher had a great stay during our 2 week vacation. He always comes home happy and I don’t worry about him when we are gone. Dale is great with him & he is happy to see her when we drop him off. Thanks!”
“Melanie is great, I bring my GSD Simba to her regularly, she’s very supportive and accommodating even on short notices. Simba enjoys his stay with Melanie and her lovely dogs and returns happy and tired. I’ve tried day care and boarding services and I’m very satisfied with all the care she provides is both services. Didn’t see any negative changes on Simba’s behaviour after mingling with Melanie’s dogs. I would like to thank Melanie for her amazing care and would like to highly recommend her services as a dog sitter or boarding.”

“Sara and Cody are incredible people who took amazing care of my fur baby. Charlotte was very well cared for, and Sara truly went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, comfortable, and loved. I couldn't have asked for better care, and I highly recommend them!”
“Nathaniel cared for my elderly cat over an extended holiday. He made sure all his needs were met and went the extra mile to ensure everything was just how we would do it ourselves. He even made time for some snuggles during his check ins. Thanks Nathaniel 💜”
“Jessica is amazing. I was nervous as I have never left my cats with anyone, it was our first vacation. We were put at ease from the first visit and were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries. I think the cats thought they were on vacation as well. The pictures Jessica sent us from each visit made our hearts happy. She played music for them each visit. She is amazing and we will hopefully be able to book her for our next vacation. Thank you Jessica.”
“Ashley was amazing with my cat. Timely visits including playtime, feeding, litter box care, each and every detail was taken into account. This was our 1st time using Rover and getting someone in our house while we were away. Extremely satisfied with Ashley and her care. Would highly recommended her to everyone. My cat became friends with her the instant he met her, although he is not very social and does not like new people around but Ashley was very loving and gentle and he allowed her to brush him and pet him, which itself tells the real story of how great Ashley is. Thanking her forever for taking care of my boy!!”
“Ellie is very kind and accommodating! My cat Sophie can be a bit shy when meeting new people but she has been very patient as Sophie gets to know her. I will be continuing services in the future. Thanks again!”
“Danielle was wonderful with our two cats! One of our cats takes daily medications, and she was gentle and persistent :) to make sure he got all of his meds. Her compassion for animals is evident, and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again.”
“Natalie was Great! She was super responsive to our messages before and during pet sitting. Sent us great updates and the cutest pet news flash at the end to sum up Chief's time! SO CUTE!! Also, she is the only person who has managed to break through Chief's skeptical exterior, and he seemed to really like her! She's definitely got a magic about her! Thank you again Natalie!”
About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of cats’ unique needs and personalities. I’ve cared for cats of all ages, including seniors, and know how important patience, gentleness, and consistency are. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications, and providing cozy spaces where cats feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each cat’s behavior, energy, and preferences, making sure they feel secure and loved. With my flexible schedule during the week and on weekends, I can give your cat plenty of attention, play, and companionship. Your cat will be cared for with the same warmth and devotion I gave my own feline friends, making them feel happy and comfortable in my care. 🐾
“Ashley and Joshua are hands down the best cat sitters I’ve ever had! They took such amazing care of my two cats, sent regular updates, spent tons of quality time with them, and even grabbed more food when I ran low (totally my fault!). I came home to happy cats and a spotless house. I’m so grateful for them and will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had large breed dogs for as long as i remember. There’s nothing more rewarding then building a bond and trust and seeing the dog glow🥺 I’m currently working part time so I have lots of time available, even more time if your dog wants to make friends with my boy alf!! There is times I will have a partner with me for night walks & house sits for safety precautions:) I always make sure to establish a line of communication with the dog prior to engaging to ensure the dog is comfortable on their terms to introduce. Pups comfortability is my #1 priority to ensure we both have a great time!
“Kristie was wonderful with our cats. They were comfortable with her right from the first meeting. Kristie responded quickly to messages and questions and sent updates and photos with each visit.”
About: 🐱 About Me: Patient, Attentive Care for Your Feline Friends! Hi, I'm Natasha! As any cat lover knows, kitties rule the house, and they all have completely unique personalities. Some are social butterflies who crave chin scratches and laser pointer chases, while others prefer to observe you from a safe distance atop a bookshelf. My approach to cat care is entirely relationship-based and patient. I never force interaction; instead, I let your cat set the pace, earning their trust through quiet observation, respect for their boundaries, and sticking strictly to their established routines. What a Typical Visit Looks Like: Fresh Food & Water: Strict adherence to your feeding schedule (wet food prep, exact measurements, or specific medication schedules). I always wash bowls and refresh water fountains or dishes. Meticulous Litter Box Maintenance: A clean box keeps cats happy and healthy. I scoop thoroughly during every single visit and keep the surrounding area tidy. Enrichment & Play: If your cat is playful, I’m ready with the feather wand, crinkle balls, or laser pointer. If they love mental stimulation, I'm happy to set up treat puzzles. Quality Companionship: For shy or independent cats, I’m perfectly content sitting quietly on the floor, reading a book or working, just offering calm company so they don't feel entirely alone. The "Headcount" Rule: I never leave a visit without physically spotting your cat to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and accounted for—even if they are a master of hiding!
About: I currently have 5 cats that I adore and spoil. I have a lot of experience in taking care of cats from feeding, cleaning litterboxes, play time and even administering medications. I treat all furbabies like they are my children.
About: Happy to walk a dog or two. I usually have my kids and dog in tow on walks, but am flexible if that’s not ideal. Our 12yo dog Kutsu (medium sized border collie mix from Japan) is great with other dogs and loves to run, play and explore. He mostly just keeps to himself though and avoids conflict. I am a full time mom looking for extra cash and love dogs, and so do the kids of course. The kids are so far very gentle with our dog and other dogs we’ve had here. We aren’t hosting at this time but will again soon! We're more than happy to accommodate any special needs. We are well-versed in the cone of shame, allergies, and giving medications. I used to be a nurse so learning on the job is my specialty. We believe in positive reinforcement training and have used an e-collar in the past until it wasn’t necessary anymore. Please feel free to talk to us more about how we can support you and your best friend! I am a stay at home mom so I make my own schedule and am very flexible. I am good with last-minute or planned visits. All depends on the needs of the dog. If they like to be left alone, cool. If they need meds, cool. If they need walks all day, cool. We can accomodate!
“Keri was exceptional with our cats and she even managed to befriend our very shy cat. She is very professional and was incredibly Kind and loving to our cats. They loved staying with her and were so well taken care of.”
About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder. Dogs have always been a passion of mine! I will treat your dogs just like my own.. lots of TLC 🥰 I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally. We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will need to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.
About: I can feed, play, clean up and administer medication for cats of any age. I’ve wanted a cat for many years but haven’t been able to have by own. I help family, friends and neighbours with their cats when they need help.

I follow their usual feeding routines, ensure fresh water is always available, provide regular exercise and playtime, and offer plenty of affection and supervision throughout the day. I also have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and space for crate use if needed. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. This includes feeding schedules, walks, litter box or waste cleanup, medication administration if required, and enrichment activities. I make sure the home is respected and kept tidy while ensuring the pet feels secure in their familiar environment. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional comfort, while also keeping owners updated as needed.

“Tobie took to her right away, she was prepared at the met with a book to take notes to fully care for our Diabetic dog. It’s was great to find someone willing to give him insulin so we could enjoy our daughters wedding without any worry. He came home happy and loved playing with other dog friends.”
“We were so happy to have found Jill to watch our dog while we were visiting from out of town . She was a short drive from the village and was flexible with drop off and pick up time , allowing us to explore and enjoy blue mountain and pick up after dinner. She was easy to communicate/coordinate with and was able to accommodate a last minute request to add my brother’s dog to our booking. Thankful to have found a safe and fun place for the dogs to spend their days. They both had a great time.”
About: “I've grown up with cats and a dog. now care for my own dog, Sprocket and 4 cats. Sprocket I've personally trained with daily hands-on work and support from K9 Academy classes. I'm home full-time, so I’m used to giving pets the time, patience, and structure they need. I understand animal behavior, basic emergency response, CPR and first aid, and Heimlich for dogs, and I create a safe, calm environment whether your pet loves play, cuddles, or quiet companionship.” Check my boys instagram to see training I've done at Myboysprocket7 “Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I’m home full-time, so my schedule is centered around my dog, Sprocket—we go for runs, bike rides, do agility training daily, play with flirt pole, fetch, swimming at the beach,and structured training sessions to playtime, feeding, and quiet bonding time. I’m already in the rhythm of providing consistent care throughout the day, which makes it easy for me to welcome other pets into my routine and give them the same attention and structure they’re used to.” Check out my boys instagram to see training we have done at myboysprocket7 “Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces, no hazards, and plenty of time for supervised play, walks, and rest. I follow any specific routines, dietary needs, or training methods shared by pet parents to keep things familiar and stress-free. Whether in my home or yours, I treat each pet with the same care and respect I give my own dog—earning their trust through patience, positive reinforcement, and gentle handling.”
“Thanks Angi for taking care of our dog Lily. Angi is very fast to respond to request for day care and to all of our other questions. Angi took great care of Lily. We were feeling very confident knowing Lily is in good hands, so we can spend some time in Collingwood and Blue Mountain doing activities where dogs are not allowed. I would highly recommend Angi dog care services! Thank you Angi!”

Dogs always bring a smile to my face and the stress is gone! I will be happy to share photos of your fur baby when you are away: make you feel not as far away from them. We know you miss them. Lol I am currently at home so lots of time with your dog and lots of playing and walking outside will be provided. Your pet will come back home tired! We have a large yard on a quiet country road.

“We had a great experience with Ethan! He was very friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. Finlee (our Staffy mix) absolutely loved him — I haven’t seen her smile that big in a while. She was always so excited to see him, and he did a great job getting her nice and tired. He really takes the time to understand her personality and needs, which makes us feel safe and confident leaving her in his care. We’re definitely looking forward to booking more walks and dog sitting with him! We would recommend Ethan to anyone looking for services. Thank you again Ethan!”

“Ashley has found her calling in pet care. She left descriptive updates of each dog walk, gave treats and even tossed a ball to my senior dog. She spent extra time on visits so they could walk in the park and take breaks in the shade on hot days. A wonderful first-time experience with Ashley and Rover.com.”

Clear, Daily Communication: You'll get regular updates and photo check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I maintain a structured, full-time schedule that allows me to dedicate my days entirely to pet care. I don’t believe in leaving pets alone for long stretches, so your furry family member will enjoy a highly attentive environment. Whether maintaining a progressive exercise routine for an active dog, supporting a service candidate puppy working on their focus and manners, or providing quiet company for a senior pet, my schedule adapts to their needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is sticking to their comfort routine while you're away. I live in a cozy, secure, and entirely pet-friendly space that is kept clean and free of hazards. While I don’t have a private yard, I completely make up for it with a highly active and structured routine! Outdoor time is intentional and frequent. We will go on regular, timed leash walks and local outdoor adventures tailored entirely to your dog’s age and energy level. Inside, the vibe is peaceful and relaxing—perfect for refueling after a good walk. I have plenty of room for crates, beds, and indoor enrichment puzzles to keep your pup happy and content.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse and hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and skill levels. With three years of experience in pet retail, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior and the products that best suit their needs. I’ve also worked closely with dog trainers and walkers, gaining specialized experience in handling reactive and aggressive dogs with defensive handling techniques. In addition to my expertise with senior dogs, puppies, and pullers, I’ve been actively involved in dog sports like agility, barn hunt, lure courses, scent work, canicross, rally obedience, and conformation. This gives me a unique ability to tailor activities to your dog’s energy levels, whether they need a calm walk or an engaging training session. Whether you're looking for someone to provide gentle care for a senior dog or a high-energy workout for a sporty pup, I can ensure your dog feels safe, stimulated, and well-loved. I work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments—including reactive and aggressive dogs. I’ve had great success helping dogs integrate into group walks, with many positive outcomes to show for it. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I’m passionate about balancing my career outside of Rover with my love for dogs who meet me through Rover! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines and preferences while maintaining balance and structure to stay consistent and reduce stress.
About: I’ve had large breed dogs for as long as i remember. There’s nothing more rewarding then building a bond and trust and seeing the dog glow🥺 I’m currently working part time so I have lots of time available, even more time if your dog wants to make friends with my boy alf!! There is times I will have a partner with me for night walks & house sits for safety precautions:) I always make sure to establish a line of communication with the dog prior to engaging to ensure the dog is comfortable on their terms to introduce. Pups comfortability is my #1 priority to ensure we both have a great time!
About: My name is Ramona, and I am a holistic health coach and Certified Nutritional Practitioner. I currently have flexible time available to walk your dog, and I'm hoping to have more opportunity to book drop-ins and boarding in the near future. As an added bonus, I can also consult with you from a pet nutrition/wellness perspective too which we can discuss separately :) I miss my own dog very dearly, and I haven't felt right getting another yet because the memory of him is still so strong, even years later, so the next best thing is to support others with their beloved furry friends. I know how difficult it can be when your pet is family yet you have a demanding job, a hectic kids schedule, or the like, which leaves them alone for extended hours at a time. So I am here to help fill those gaps to keep your dog Exercised, Safe and Comforted until you return, while providing your pet with the Love Energy, Fun & Attention they deserve. You'll have the Peace Of Mind you seek to be truly present wherever you need to be knowing that your dog is well-cared for. I have extensive experience raising and caring for my own dog from puppy through to senior, so I have been through it all, including behavourial training, administering medications and ointments, and washing/cleaning/grooming. As such, I can handle your dog at practically any stage of life, at any size ranging from small to large. I have walked and house-sat for numerous cats and dogs over the years so I am very comfortable handling animals that are not my own. I understand the mind of dogs, their natural behaviours and instincts, as well as the importance of positively reinforced discipline and consistency. Please let me know of any special needs or behaviours you are trying to instill in your dog, and I will happily help maintain your training requirements while your dog is in my hands. As a wellness professional I practice what I preach. I am physically fit to handle most dog sizes (don't let my height fool you, I can handle walking and disciplining larger dogs since my own dog was a large Malamute/wolf mix). I love being outside, inclement weather doesn't deter me and I have all the parks, trails & beaches in the Wasaga Beach area available to me and your dog (there are also designated dog parks to explore). I look forward to meeting you and your dog! <3 I'm available exclusively for dog walking bookings at this time. I run a small health practice part-time at the moment that is relatively flexible, so with 48-hr notice I am able to accommodate any day except Wednesday and Sunday. I am working on being able to offer house sitting, boarding services, and drop-in visits in the near future. *Drop-in exceptions will be made if you would like to book me for multiple/recurring walks and believe you/your dog should meet me ahead of time -- let me know in this case and I'm happy to open a space on the booking platform for that :)
About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder. Dogs have always been a passion of mine! I will treat your dogs just like my own.. lots of TLC 🥰 I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally. We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will need to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.
About: With a lifelong exposure of a wide range of animals from large sizes like dogs and cats, to smaller sizes including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish, I offer a diverse understanding of pet care essentials and needs. This wide variety of experience sets the standard of providing the best care for your best friend! Please let me know if you have any questions about my availability, I do my best to update my calendar frequently! Thank you for your time :) I send updates (pictures and messages) consistently throughout my walks and/or stays via Rover app or outside the app (personal cell). :) Feel free to set up a meet n' greet with me before any confirmed visits/sittings.
About: I have had dogs all my life since I was a young Child. They make great companions. I currently have two medium sized mixed bread dogs. I have a few flexible schedule so I have lots of time available to help anyone local with pet care when they need the help. I have one medium size very friendly dog. I have a fenced in backyard so there can be lots of outside playtime with or without my dog. They can play or I have the ability to keep the animals separate if necessary. I also have a medium and large crate if that’s something that’s part of your dogs routine.
About: Hello, my name is Courtney, I am 25 year old. I am currently living in Barrie near the waterfront, but also have a car that I can use. I have had years of experience with all kinds of dogs. My family has a golden retriever, and my brother a husky. I enjoy long walks, listening to my music. Also adventuring new places. I would love to one day have a dog of my own. I would love to take care of your dog, and get to play with them:) I can also come and check in on them, or watch them at your home for a day or night. I cant wait to get to meet you and your dog! Thank you for your time and consideration!

“Heather was 10/10 during the whole process. It was our first time user rover and she made everything seem so flawless! She constantly sent photos and updates and when there was a change of plans, Heather didn’t hesitate! I will definitely be booking my girly with her again!”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to take care of my 10 year old Goldendoodle, Ginger! Anne and Andrew were amazing with caring for her while I was overseas for two months! Anne kept me in the loop with tons of updates and pictures. You could tell Ginger really grew attached to them, and she seemed so comfortable and happy there. She was spoiled and allowed up on the couch and even cuddled up in their bed! They also have an older Goldendoodle who’s the sweetest, and they got along so well. Their place is beautiful, safe, and perfect for dogs. I’d absolutely trust them with Ginger anytime and will definitely use them again. Anne and Andrew are truly wonderful dog sitters!”
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!
“Geo and Amanda are absolute gems of dog sitters. They took in both of my dogs just as their own and updated me thoroughly throughout each day. Their home was so beautiful and such a comfy safe space for my dogs to run and rest. They were absolutely so kind and made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were in safe hands!”
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
“Angi was phenomenal every step of the way! From coordinating the weekend to the actual dog sitting, it was a great experience and we were so happy/comfortable. Highly recommend and I would rebook with Angi when we’re in the area in the future!”
“Once again Fisher had a great stay during our 2 week vacation. He always comes home happy and I don’t worry about him when we are gone. Dale is great with him & he is happy to see her when we drop him off. Thanks!”
“Melanie is great, I bring my GSD Simba to her regularly, she’s very supportive and accommodating even on short notices. Simba enjoys his stay with Melanie and her lovely dogs and returns happy and tired. I’ve tried day care and boarding services and I’m very satisfied with all the care she provides is both services. Didn’t see any negative changes on Simba’s behaviour after mingling with Melanie’s dogs. I would like to thank Melanie for her amazing care and would like to highly recommend her services as a dog sitter or boarding.”
“Amanda cared for my mom’s dog, Danny, for five weeks, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. She was an absolute lifesaver. From the moment she took him in, she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She handled everything from pick‑ups, drop‑offs, and daily care with kindness, reliability, and genuine affection for Danny. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but Amanda did exactly that. She went above and beyond in every way, and I am so grateful for the care, attention, and love she gave him. I would recommend her without hesitation.”
“We were very pleased with the care Dex received with Jessica. She sent updates and pictures often which gave us peace of mind and very secure. Dex was well taken care of and she really cared for him. I would definitely use her again.”
“Jordan took great care of our two pups during a weekend stay. She gave extra attention to our nervous and anxious puppy, making sure she was comfortable away from home. Jordan provided timely updates with pictures and videos, took our dogs on numerous daily walks, and went above and beyond when our older dog needed to be let out to potty multiple times at night. I would not hesitate to book with her and her family again.”
“Our dog can be an absolute menace with strangers and had the best time with Sharon!! Her dedication to making sure our pup was comfortable was awesome! Thank you so much!”
