“Fiona has been amazing in taking care of Moose while we were away! She updated us everyday with lots of pictures and videos of Moose which we loved! It’s evident that she truly cares about the dogs and their well being and we are glad to have found her! Moose had an amazing time with her and would be happy to go back anytime!”
“This past weekend our family used Rover for the first time and Adam kindly and quickly responded to my booking request as well as any questions I had. He kept contact throughout Nova's stay and sent us pictures along the way. It was FANTASTIC to be able to go away and have her stay in a safe, warm and caring environment. We would highly recommend and hope to book with Adam again in the future.”
“This is the second time Kimberly has looked after our dog, Hunter, while we were away on holiday, and once again she was outstanding. She provided daily updates with photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Hunter and Kimberly’s dog, Murphy, bonded wonderfully and became great playmates. It was reassuring to know Hunter was not only well cared for but also happy and having fun. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter”
“Cindy and Marc took such amazing care of my dog while we were away for 7 days. They made us feel completely at ease by giving us daily updates and sending pictures every day, which really showed how loved and cared for our dog was. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and treat them like family. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters!”
“Emma and Victoria were great! They helped watch our senior dog with some mobility issues due to arthritis with such great care. They were able to give him his medications as needed and provided daily updates and photos to set our mind at ease. It was Django's first time with them and he loved it! Would definitely recommend! Thanks again”
“Eva and her family are very nice and responsible. She checked all the details, took great care of our dog and kept us updated with messages / photos and videos. She did such an amazing job that I’m almost worried my dog might want to stay with her instead of coming home with me!”
“They were very accommodating to my last minute booking. I’m very grateful they were able to look after Mac over the long weekend. Super friendly and very knowledgeable about specific dogs needs and took very good care of Mac.”
“Deb was fantastic! She kept me up to date on Hoagie with pictures and daily communication. Hoagie was treated like part of her family, exercised very well and treated with kindness. I would recommend using Deb!!!”
“Carey was beyond great! She sent us pictures throughout the entire stay. It’s very clear that she loves animals! She was great with communication throughout the entire booking process and stay. 100% recommend booking with her!”
“Lynn did a great job with Ozzy, she took him for a couple days over Christmas while we went back to visit my family. Lynn was good enough to ensure she did Ozzy's medicine while he was there and read over the instructions carefully for administering them even though. There were lots of dogs to play with but Lynn never failed to give Ozzy the attention and care that he requires and provided us with consistent communication and photos during his stay with Lynn.”
“Emi spent two weeks with Melissa, the longest she has ever been there. I don't think she missed us at all, as she was having such fun there. She considers Melissa part of her pack.”
“Dawn was a lifesaver! Our original sitter canceled last minute, and Dawn accepted our booking the same day. We were so grateful she could take Choki in on such short notice. She kept us updated with photos and took amazing care of him. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and even freshly washed and groomed—he looked better than when we dropped him off! I couldn’t recommend Dawn more. She’s caring, professional, and truly goes above and beyond. Thank you, Dawn!”
“Fantastic experience! Onyx was very well taken care of and loved his long walk at the park. Jayson was professional, super responsive on the app, and easy to coordinate with. We highly recommend him and will definitely book again!”
“Cindy and her family took excellent care of our dog for an overnight stay. Cindy is very responsive and reliable and we felt very comfortable through the whole process even as first-time Rover users. We will happily seek out Cindy’s services again.”
“Very happy with the care provided to our Harry! Elizabeth and Gary sent daily photos which meant so much. While we missed him, we knew he was in good hands. Can’t say enough about how pleased we were with the care provided for Harry! Highly recommend Elizabeth and Gary!”
“I Milana 100%, she is very kind and friendly. Luna enjoy the time with her and her family.She sent me photos of Luna and the communication was great.We definitely will be back to her soon. She is the best! Thank you Milana! ☺️”
“Our miniature poodle Chloe had a wonderful time staying with Karen & her family and playing with the familiy’s other pets…her fenced in yard is a bonus. Karen is very welcoming & attentive to our dog’s needs and you can tell she loves animals. We had gone to an out of town family wedding and needed her services on two separate occasions :) I would be very comfortable leaving our poodle with her again. Thank you Karen :)”

Both my wife and I work from home and I am currently on leave from work, so I have lots of extra time to devote to your pet 🙂 We have a large, fenced yard that provides ample space for play. We currently own three cats (Mouse, Graham, and Rudy), and a budgie (Fergus). The cats are used to foster pets (about 60 cats and dogs over the past 6 years) coming in and out on a regular basis and the bird is up nice and high.

“Breeah watched my two dogs over the weekend while we were away. Beginning to end she was fantastic! Quick to respond and friendly when I reached out, she obviously has lots of experience with dogs so I was comfortable with her immediately. Breeah met my dogs before we left and while we were gone she provided lots of great updates and pictures - I highly recommend and will definitely reach out again!”

“Jason and Cindy were just great and took the best care of our Alfie! We were a little apprehensive about leaving him as he's only 4 months old and hadn't spent much time apart from us but they sent us frequent photographs to reassure us that he was doing really well. They are a lovely family and we were so pleased with how the whole day went. Thanks Jason and Cindy!”
“After our meet and greet a few weeks ago I felt very confident that Orly would be in good hands. Today she had a fantastic day with Kim and Murphy. Kim has very good communication providing great pics and a summary of how the day went. Orly looks forward to more upcoming visits.”
“Super thankful yet again for Edward and his family. We had a last minute request and Edward was super quick to respond to our call for help. We can see that Tako is comfortable in their home and Edward always sends us such cute photos of him sleeping or playing with the kids. It is clear that Edward and his family love and care for Tako and we are so glad to have found them.”
“My dog Rupert absolutely loved his stay with Cindy and Marc. You can tell that they’re passionate about animals and take very good care of their client pups. Their yard is an excellent space for your dog to run around and have fun. They made sure to send updates and photos throughout the day to ensure that I knew that my dog was in good hands. Thank you so much for keeping my pup safe and happy!”
“Georgia had an amazing couple of days at doggie daycare she met a few new friends and felt right at home... Deborah-Lynns attention to her guests is amazing will definitely recommend and use again.. She's very accommodating to work schedule and flexible”
“I was so nervous to leave my tiny puppy with anyone at such a young age but Tieja was absolutely wonderful. My Alfie liked her right away, she kept me updated and understood my worry. I’ll ask her again to care for him without question.”
“So glad to have found Fiona and Dale. Their place is a fabulous playground, well supervised and with lots of freedom for the dogs to move around. We will for sure be back!”
“Dawn was exceptional with Winnie. Being a first time puppy owner, I wanted to ensure I found a good sitter for her while I was at work. Dawn was amazing and I look forward to taking Winnie back!”
“I am so lucky that I found Jayson. Our dog is usually shy at first, but she clicked with Jayson. He is kind, caring and I feel so relieved when she is with him for doggy daycare. Jayson responds very quickly and communicates very clearly. His dog, Arnold has made our girl feel comfortable, which is amazing, as she can be apprehensive at times. Jayson will provide lots of photos during the day and keeps me updated on her walks (or hangouts in the backyard when it is too hot). His photos are always accompanied by a text, telling me how she is doing, how her walk was, when she had dinner, etc. I love that Jayson always gives off a calm and happy demeanor, because it not only makes our dog comfortable, but I do not worry at all about her while she is there. If you are looking for someone who provides a fun and calm space, a very chill doggy companion, and lots of care, I 100% recommend Jayson as your pet sitter/walker.”
“I honestly can’t recommend Praneet enough. Before meeting him, I had never left Crypto with anyone in the year and a half I’ve had him. Like many dog parents, I have separation anxiety too, so trusting someone with him was a huge step for me. From our very first phone call, Praneet made me feel comfortable and confident. Instead of simply accepting the booking, he suggested a meet-and-greet first. We met at a dog park where Crypto was surrounded by other dogs, and Praneet spent about an hour with us. During that time, he not only got to know Crypto but also taught me so much about dog behaviour and body language. I learned a lot from that one meeting, and it gave me complete confidence in his knowledge and experience. After our meet-and-greet, I booked Crypto for three days of daycare. I honestly started noticing a positive change in his walks within just a day or two. Seeing that progress made me decide to hire Praneet as Crypto’s trainer as well. Crypto is going in for surgery soon, so we’ll be starting our training sessions once he’s fully recovered. The biggest sign for me is how much Crypto loves going there. Every time I tell him we’re going to see Praneet, he gets excited. When I pick him up, he’s always happy, relaxed, and never stressed or panicked. In fact, he even whines when it’s time to leave Praneet! I have to admit, I was a little jealous—but it’s also the best reassurance a dog parent can ask for. Throughout the day, Praneet kept me updated with messages, photos, and videos whenever I asked. He wasn’t just taking care of Crypto—he was also helping me overcome my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Praneet, for taking such amazing care of Crypto. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about dogs the way you do. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring sitter or trainer. You are truly the best .. I can’t thank you enough. Crypto and I are both lucky to have found you—even if I’m still a little jealous that he doesn’t want to leave you! 😄”
“Eva and her family have been wonderful with taking care of my 5 month old puppy! They are kind, communicative, and they clearly loves pets! My dog has been very relaxed and comfortable in their home and enjoys regular walks and time outside. I have appreciated regular photos and updates about his day. Would recommend!”
“Bill was terrific. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Bill was accommodating and attentive, excellent communication throughout. Would recommend Bill. Thanks for taking such great care of our furry family member.”
“Our pup Artie had a great time staying with Ed. He got to meet and play with other dogs and had some great nature walks. He came home tired and happy each day. Thanks Ed for the extra touches like sending photos during the day. My whole family enjoyed seeing those. I would recommend Ed to anyone who wants their pet well care for and loved during their stay.”
About: I've cared for my own two Shih/Poo dogs for 16 years. I recently said goodbye to my grand dog of 12 years. She was a Poodle/Schnauzer. My daughter is a vet tech with 10 years experience. I miss them all. I'm retired! I am at home all day and available any day of the week. Preferably 11am-11pm. I like walking and will play with your dog. I have a crate 4x3' if you crate your dog in the night time. I love to walk and perhaps your dog does too. The more I know about your furbaby, the better.
“Alison was amazing from start to finish. Geordi doesn't normally take well to strangers but when we went for an initial meet and greet, he loved her right away and went in for a nuzzle. Alison's dog, Lily, is the sweetest girl and she and Geordi became instant bffs. During the day Alison sent me many updates and I never worried about him at all. I 100% recommend booking with Alison, I know I'll definitely be using her again!”
“Emma was amazing! They took great care of my dog and kept me updated while I was away. Very kind, responsible, and clearly love animals. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs in my home since I was a young child. My most recent pup was a French Bulldog, who now resides with my parents. I am confident in delivering basic puppy training including walking on a leash, house commands, and behavior. I am an active person who really enjoys hikes and long walks, so if you have a high-energy dog that needs stimulation I am the guy! I work full-time from home and can accommodate dog-sitting, drop-ins, or walks during the day between Mon-Fri. My weekends are available for more sitting, walks, and drop-ins. I can provide boarding at any time! My partner and I do not own any pets but have a no-clutter house that is perfect for a dog of any size. I have a fenced yard (albeit small), end unit townhouse with a larger fenced common area for play and bathroom breaks. In addition, we back onto a larger trail network for lengthy walks.

“Megaen is clearly a huge dog lover! She was easy to communicate with, came to meet my dog the day before, and very punctual. She’s walked my dog twice, both times taking him for a good length and reporting back afterwards. I was able to book her the day before I needed her & would definitely book her again!”
“Katherine was a great help to us while we were away. She came to walk both of our dogs accommodating the individual needs of each dog with walks, cuddles and playtime. We are happy to have a reliable person to call on when we need assistance in the future.”
“Adam is very caring and kind. He has been a daily walker for us for a month now and takes our dog’s needs into account during challenging conditions, like weather, making sure she stays well. Adam communicates quickly if something arises and is very adaptable to time changes if he is able to accommodate. We completely trust him with our girl and she now looks very forward to seeing her new friend as well. I highly recommend Adam. He has been a godsend to us.”

About: Throughout my entire life, my family has always owned a pet from dogs to cats to even hamsters! So it was only natural that when I got a place of my own, I immediately wanted to own a dog to make the house feel more like home. I have owned two labs in my adult life so far, and the unconditional love that they give you is unlike anything else. After my first dog had passed three years ago, I became obsessed with watching dog training videos from various trainers. I made it my mission to train my new pup to the best of my ability and to give him the best quality of life. When he was young, at times the training seemed hopeless, but in the end, all of the hard work and persistence has paid off. He is such a good dog & walking is so much more enjoyable. Moral of the story is I am a patient, persistent, gentle and kind person. I understand that physical activity is so important to your dogs, physical and mental quality of life. Different interactions & scenery will help stimulate your dog and wear them out. My love for animals & furry companions runs even deeper as I am also an Artist that specializes in Pet Portraits. Honouring those loved ones, through a custom piece of art, that someone can cherish for years fills my soul! I am currently working part-time as a Pilates Instructor and looking to fill in my time with walking dogs in between my fitness classes during the week. I am able to come and pick up your pet and walk them around your neighbourhood or drive them to a new destination to give them mental stimulation in different environmental situations depending on your dogs needs and comfortability. The walk will be tailored to them.

My home is a spacious apartment, and I allow puppies and kitties on my couch and bed. In fact, I love cuddling. So, I encourage it. However, your place will be your rules. I'm a home-body, and don't go out, but I do love walks. Your puppies will get the time outside they require. I have an adorable chihuahua and ginger kitten.

About: I have had a dog my entire life. From my first dogs being black labs, to a small pug, to adopting a German Shepard lab. I love all dogs.. Big or small, messy or clean, I will take care of your dog and it’s needs. I’ve learned how to train dogs and learned tricks to understanding dogs better when needed. I currently live in St. Mays. I don’t go to school as I have graduated and finished University&College. Your dog will always have company & toys to play with at all hours of the day. I’m currently working full time with the OPP. Always 12 hour shifts, days and nights on a set schedule for the year. No matter what time it is when I have to leave for work or come home from work I will always walk the dogs. Taking them for long walks helps not only the dog but also me. Always having an eye on them and making sure they’re in a safe spot in the house. If there is a spot in the house that isn’t safe for them, I will use a barrier or something to make sure they don’t go to that area of the house. Such as stairs for little puppies, I will make sure to watch them if they’re trying to go up or down or block it off so they don’t have to use them. I make sure they have water 24/7 and have food when they are supposed to be fed. Lots of cuddles of course and making sure they have all the attention they need. Fresh water in the morning, make sure they get fed at the same time as they would at home with their owners. Making sure the pet feels comfortable and safe wherever they are in the house. I will make sure your pet always has water 24/7, they will always be surrounded by cuddles and is allowed anywhere in the house. They are allowed on anything and everything that is in the house.

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve been caring for dogs, especially Border Collies, since 2007 and have built a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. Growing up, I spent countless hours walking my dog, exploring trails, and using those walks as a peaceful escape. This connection to nature and animals has fueled my lifelong love for dogs of all breeds. When my Border Collie became a senior, I was her primary caretaker. From carrying her up and down stairs when she needed help to spending quality one-on-one time with her, I learned how to adapt to a dog’s unique needs at every stage of life. Currently, I live with two family dogs, Skye and Piper, and my cat, Lulu, which has given me even more experience with multi-pet households. I’m very mindful of dog behavior and body language, ensuring they always feel comfortable and safe. Having had dogs that weren’t always social with others, I’m skilled at managing walks and being aware of our surroundings. I always work on a dog’s terms, respecting their boundaries, and letting them come to me when they’re ready. Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing an adventure or a senior dog needing gentle care, I’m here to provide tailored attention and love for your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your dog and learn more about their personality and preferences! I currently feed and walk my two border collies and cat everyday. My cat likes to come along in her carrier backpack for our daily walks. And of course I give them treats when they are demanded (in moderation). I will talk with my pets whenever they come into the room. Since I have border collies we are constantly playing with the toys, both inside and outside.
“Stacey is very attentive and great with our puppy! She’s so kind and updates us on how the walk went. We feel very comfortable having her come and walk our pup and can tell our puppy enjoys seeing her as well.”

About: I've had the privilege of growing up with dogs since I was little, so their day to day needs come naturally to me. Around 10 years old I took my love for animals to a new level by beginning to walk dogs in my neighborhood. The families that I worked for trusted me to care for their fur babies and I loved each of them as if they were my own. Over the years I have worked with a variety of dogs, small and large breeds, sweet & easy going dogs, reactive / more difficult dogs, and rescue as well. At the age of 21 I began working at a veterinary clinic and currently still work within the industry. The experience has given me immense hands-on knowledge and a deeper understanding of the medical side of pet care, animal welfare and everything it truly means to be a responsible pet owner. I believe the combination of my personal & professional experience as well as genuine love for animals sets me apart. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable and loved and would be honored to provide that same level of care for your pets too. Caring for animals is part of both my personal and professional life. I currently work full-time in a veterinary clinic and love spending my free time caring for pets as well (my own dog included!). I'm currrently available for evening drop-ins during the week and dog walks or additional care on the weekends! My top priority is ensuring that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment. Every pet has different needs and routines, so I do my best to follow their schedule as closely as possible to keep things stress-free and make them feel happy and comfortable. I provide lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and whatever else may be needed for each individual dog. With my experience in the veterinary field, I pay close attention to behavior, comfort levels, and overall wellbeing to ensure your pet is receiving the best possible care while you’re away.

“Fiona has been amazing in taking care of Moose while we were away! She updated us everyday with lots of pictures and videos of Moose which we loved! It’s evident that she truly cares about the dogs and their well being and we are glad to have found her! Moose had an amazing time with her and would be happy to go back anytime!”
“This is the second time Kimberly has looked after our dog, Hunter, while we were away on holiday, and once again she was outstanding. She provided daily updates with photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Hunter and Kimberly’s dog, Murphy, bonded wonderfully and became great playmates. It was reassuring to know Hunter was not only well cared for but also happy and having fun. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter”
“Emma and Victoria were great! They helped watch our senior dog with some mobility issues due to arthritis with such great care. They were able to give him his medications as needed and provided daily updates and photos to set our mind at ease. It was Django's first time with them and he loved it! Would definitely recommend! Thanks again”
“They were very accommodating to my last minute booking. I’m very grateful they were able to look after Mac over the long weekend. Super friendly and very knowledgeable about specific dogs needs and took very good care of Mac.”
“Deb was fantastic! She kept me up to date on Hoagie with pictures and daily communication. Hoagie was treated like part of her family, exercised very well and treated with kindness. I would recommend using Deb!!!”
“Carey was beyond great! She sent us pictures throughout the entire stay. It’s very clear that she loves animals! She was great with communication throughout the entire booking process and stay. 100% recommend booking with her!”
“Lynn did a great job with Ozzy, she took him for a couple days over Christmas while we went back to visit my family. Lynn was good enough to ensure she did Ozzy's medicine while he was there and read over the instructions carefully for administering them even though. There were lots of dogs to play with but Lynn never failed to give Ozzy the attention and care that he requires and provided us with consistent communication and photos during his stay with Lynn.”
“Emi spent two weeks with Melissa, the longest she has ever been there. I don't think she missed us at all, as she was having such fun there. She considers Melissa part of her pack.”
“Saksham took great care of Percy while my family was away at a cottage for 4 nights. They sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout his stay. They also made sure to give him his medication on a set schedule. I think Percy had a great time! Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
“Priyanka and her family were wonderful to work with. We recently booked our dog Ted in for a weeks family vacation, and will absolutely be booking again. We did a meeting prior to our booking to ensure fitment, and were warmly welcomed at their home. It was clean, and felt very warm. Once we agreed to move forward, everything went well and as agreed upon. Drop-off was easy, we were not rushed, and Ted was given immediate access to explore the home. We were given morning and evening updates, including many pictures and videos so we felt comfortable in knowing how he was adjusting. Ted was excited to see us at pick-up, but we could tell he missed the family and his new friend Link for a few days prior to leaving. Dont hesitate, I highly recommend Priyanka and her famiky in caring for your furry loved ones.”
“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.”
“Behnaz was a great sitter for my puppy! She sent updates and assured me everything was going okay. She was friendly, communicative and very lovely and I would absolutely book her again to watch my puppy.”
“We are so grateful to Chad and Andrea for taking such good care of McCoy when we were recently away for two weeks. This was our first time using Rover and we were very impressed. Chad and Andrea responded quickly to our request and arranged a meet and greet right away. When we met them and they met McCoy is was apparent that they are dog lovers and we were confident that it would be a good match. We were right. While we were away we received photos every day and could see that McCoy was happy and that he felt at home. We felt absolutely relaxed on our holiday, knowing that McCoy was in good hands. We will happily book again with Chad and Andrea.”
“Thank you Melanie for looking after Fleetwood as if ye was your own. I appreciate all the care, attention and communication. It's clear he had a good time there and that made my weekend away more enjoyable. Thanks again!!”
