“Naomi & Sam were amazing sitters for our 3 yr old (85 pound) Bernese Mountain dog. Our dog was able to stay with them for 6 nights and while she was with them she got lots of walks, great play time with their dog and kids and Naomi sent us pictures of all of her adventures every day. Having a large breed dog in your home is a challenge for many people, and this family was awesome. I would highly recommend using Naomi and Sam for a short or long stay with your dog - they were GREAT hosts. We will be booking with them again for sure.”
“Samantha and family were fantastic to our Golden - Poppy. Right from drop off, to daily updates and pick up - everything was smooth and we felt so good knowing Poppy was in such good hands. Samantha's dog and cat were also so great with Poppy. She had a wonderful stay and we'd highly recommend Samantha in the future.”
“They are the BEST dogsitter ever. My dog Beethoven was there 7 days. They keep me updated every day , treathim like they own family members. Thank you for give him all the loves and cares !!!”
“Darien was absolutely fantastic with our girl (Elsa)! From the onset of booking she made me feel completely at ease by setting up a video chat so that we could meet and I would be comfortable with where Elsa would be staying. Darien would send frequent updates of Elsa’s activities at her place and I could tell Elsa was so well taken care of by Darien and her family (she looked like she was right at home!!). I was also very happy to hear that Elsa got along well with Darien’s dog because Elsa is normally not a very social dog. All in all, Elsa had a comfortable and happy stay and I would definitely bring Elsa back for future boardings 😊!”
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have 4+ years experience at a doggy daycare care and kennel, with proficiency working with small, medium, and large dog breeds! My passion for animal care extends beyond dogs and cats—I also have a strong passion for small and large farm animals and have had lots of hands on experience working with them. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s something I truly love. Whether your furry companion loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm, reassuring presence, I’ll tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I’ll be sure to send lots of photos and provide regular updates! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! :) I’m currently working part time at a restaurant so, I’ll have plenty of time for walks, giving love, and playing with your pups! I typically work Monday, Tuesday and Saturday nights for around 5 hours each night. There is a big park just up the street from me with lots of grass and room for running around (however, it is not fenced in). I also have a small, black pug that is super friendly and will play with your dog!
“My dogs had a blast with Zaira and her family!!! They spent a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful we were having over the weekend and she gave them the love and attention they needed. She followed all care instructions to the letter and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay. Overall 10000/10, will absolutely re-book with Zaira. Mil gracias 💛”
“I’m so grateful to Jennifer and Brent for taking such good care of my dog, Mishti, while I was away. She can be a little anxious and picky with her food, but they were so patient with her and even hand-fed her to make sure she was eating. They kept me updated throughout, which really helped me feel at ease. I could tell Mishti was in caring hands. They also took her on lovely long walks, which she really enjoyed. Overall, they did an amazing job, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!”
“Siobhan is a fantastic care giver for our 8 year-old Beagle. He thinks of her place as a second home and is very excited when we pull up in the car. We highly recommend Siobhan.”
“We are very grateful and happy for the care they gave our little Loki. They were always very communicative and affectionate. Thank you very much. 100% recommended.”
“Amazing sitter!! I know when I leave Jiraiya with Ryan, he's going to have a blast. I can tell Jiraiya has plenty of playtime because he's a sleepy boy on the car ride home lol. Thank you Ryan :)”
“Really thankful I came across Teena and Wayne’s profile when searching for someone to watch my dog while I was away in Portugal on vacation. Teena and Wayne were instantly responsive and arranged for a meet and greet with my dog Karma prior to us deciding whether or not she would benefit and be a good fit for staying 12 days with them while I was away. The meet and greet went well, and I felt confident that Karma would be well taken care of while I was traveling. She was instantly comfortable with both of them and they also asked important questions about Karma and how best to care for her! That showed me that they really do care about their quality of service, and that I could trust them to watch her. They were great at setting me updates throughout the time that I was away and that allowed me to feel more confident and comfortable that Karma was in good hands. I highly recommend Teena and Wayne for pet boarding services and will definitely be a repeat. Customer should the opportunity arise that I need care for Karma in the future. Thank you so much to both of you 🙏🏻”
“Stephanie provides a loving and caring home. Communication is outstanding and cared for my dog qs if it was her own. Will be booking with Stephanie for future trips”
“Trisha was fantastic. It was Charlie’s first experience going to a sitter and I was a little nervous. Tricia’s house is warm and friendly. She greeted us at the door and engaged with Charlie immediately. He even felt comfortable enough to run through the house to get a toy! What I really appreciated was how Trisha asked about Charlie’s likes/dislikes and routine. She works really hard to ensure everything is as consistent and comfortable as possible. When I picked him up the next day he was happy and energetic. Thank you Trisha for making our first Rover experience an awesome one. We look forward to Charlie’s next sleepover with you.”
“Shannon was AMAZING! She provided constant communication and showed us photos of her walks. Even when the dogs get tired she showed us that they had a nice relaxing stay. If I ever need my dog and my sister’s dog take care of, I know who to trust. Thank you!”
“She was awesome with Coco and fair when I had to cut my trip short and leave early. She herself offered to waive the additionally days and gave me the refund without needing to ask her. That shows integrity and customer centric. Appreciate that very much!”
“Hayley was really great with Piper, sending us photos and taking her for a long walk with her dog Penny! We felt really comfortable leaving her for the night while we attended a wedding! Would highly recommend Hayley!”
“Sarah took great care of our baby fur Moka. She sent photos and update us regularly. It made our trip so much better knowing that Moka was being well taken care of. Thank you Sarah for your love and care of our Moka!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Dana and her family Rock! They were amazing with my 14 yo 5# Pomeranian, Roxie, was is a tri-pod. Roxie settled in nicely with Dana's super chill pups, and Dana. Dana sent us pictures of Roxie during her stay, while we enjoyed all Niagra Falls has to offer. We definitely recommend her and her family! We would (will!) Rebook with her next time!”
“Heather and Matt were absolutely incredible with Charlie during our 10 days away. We had met with another sitter before them and it just didn’t feel right, but from our very first meet and greet with Heather and Matt, we immediately knew they were the perfect fit. We felt confident leaving Charlie in their care. They treated him like part of their family and truly loved him. Their communication was exceptional—we received regular updates and lots of photos, which gave us such peace of mind. This was especially important to us as Charlie had recently had surgery to remove a lump on his back and still had stitches. They followed all instructions perfectly and were so attentive and caring. Charlie is also very spoiled and loves being cozy with his blankets, and they went above and beyond by setting up his bed near the fireplace to keep him warm! We felt completely at ease the entire time and were so impressed that we’ve already booked another stay. We cannot recommend Heather and Matt highly enough.”

“Sam is incredible - she's watched my 4 cats several times now and I hope to keep having her back as my guys absolutely love her. Sam is a warm, caring, genuine person which is evident in her communication and how quickly animals take to her (including my guys who can be a little tentative with others.) Most recently Sam watched my babies for an extended period and I had so much peace of mind being away knowing Sam provides incredible care and is super communicative in both lead up and during visits. Highly highly highly recommend Sam.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Jade look after my cat and house sit. I found her very kind and attentive to all of my cat's needs and medication and she always kept me updated with pictures and left my house like I had left it. I would not have any hesitation having her back. Thanks Jade.. Kathy and Tucker”
“Holly is always the best. We feel so at ease when she is over watching our cat! She always makes sure he has a cute night in! I love the pictures and videos she sends. I can always trust her to really treat our bubble like her own pet! Will always recommend Holly :)”
“Marisa was very kind and gave regular photos/updates on Plato. She communicated very well and was very accommodating with our fluctuating plans. Would recommend her services!”
“Karen was great, would highly recommend her services. She was wonderful and easy to connect with and communicate with. She asked questions and was very good at keeping us up to date with her arrival and leaving. She also took AMAZING photos of our pup.”

About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently share my home with three of my own! Living with cats has taught me that every one has a unique personality—some love to play, some love to cuddle, and others simply appreciate a quiet, respectful companion. I enjoy getting to know each cat and caring for them in the way that makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. Whether your cat needs fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, medication, or just a little extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to their routine! :)
“Amazing, super professional and wonderful. This is the second time (vacation) we have asked Shealin to kitty-sit our 17yr old fur-baby while we're away on vacation and we were delighted once again at her professionalism and care she gave our cat, and overall just general helpfulness. (We were delivered a plant while we were away, she reached out to ask how to manage that, she even shoveled our driveway for our return!!! (Sorry Shealin, not meaning to set expectations to high :) ) We've already booked her for our next vacation, and would once again highly recommend her services.”
“Once again Emily took wonderful care of our cat and rabbit. She is flexible and dependable. We had no worries leaving the kritters in Emily’s care. Thank you Emily!!”

“We had a great experience with Becca! She was more than willing to care for our two kitties in a last minute booking, and was also happy to fit a meet and greet in her schedule prior to the booking! She stayed for longer than the 30 minutes each visit to play with our fur babies, which we greatly appreciated! Also made sure they got water, food and emptied the litter boxes daily! We will definitely be booking with Becca again☺️”
“It was great to have Jacqueline take care of Walter while I was away. My usually timid cat did not cower and hide which means Jackie is quiet and caring. As I understand they had great conversations - lol. She made the entire process very easy and when I returned home she had the cat's food and dishes cleaned and orderly. Thank you from Jeff & Walter.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats my entire life and currently have my own cats. I understand that every cat has their own personality and comfort level, so I always take a calm and patient approach when caring for them. I’m happy to help with feeding, litter cleaning, playtime, and making sure your cat feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Monica went above and beyond during our visit. Gave them love and attention. She did extra things for our furbabies. When we did our first meet I knew instantly she was kind and her kids were so sweet with our babies. Thank you again for looking after our babies. The photos made me happy to see our furbabies doing so well under your care. Sending you best wishes”

“Naomi, Sam and their family are amazing! My little puppy had such an amazing time and was exhausted when I picked him up. Huge backyard for lots of running and activities! Naomi made my puppy Navy feel at home!! Couldn’t recommend them enough ❤️”
“Dhizzy is the best!! This was Milo's first visit with her and he came back exhausted from all of his fun!! He absolutely loves her and I will definitely have her watch him again. I LOVED the pictures she would send, he looked like he had a blast!! Thank you for Milo's awesome day!!”
“Sarah and family and her dog Beau were the perfect day care for our Morkie while we spent the day at Niagra Falls. Her location was very near the downtown of Niagra Falls only a 5 min drive from our fallsview hotel. Fenced yard was extra treat. Highly recommend her!”

“I’m so very pleased to have made a connection with Tammy. First, she was willing to meet and test herself for any allergic reaction to our Lexi. Thankfully there was none!! From the first moment we met Tammy and later her hsbd, I could see Lexi was super relaxed and at ease. Getting to know Tammy prior to arranging daycare was a pleasure. I appreciated all the questions, her eagerness to interact with Lexi, her manner of joy, gentleness and natural confident leadership while handling our girl. Our first dog-sitting went smoothly for everyone. There was excellent communication between us, I had 100% peace of mind while away and from photos Tammy shared, I could see Lexi was a very happy girl. I’m grateful to know that Tammy and Gord are people with whom we can trust and count on for future dog sitting and perhaps (hopefully!), overnight stays too ?? ?”
“Karen and Jorge were amazing with Ocho! They took great care of him, kept us updated with photos throughout the day, and made us feel completely at ease. We highly recommend them and would definitely book with them again! 🐶💛”
“Stephanie was amazing! She understood Loki super fast and gave him the best treatment with lots of play and cuddles! Sent me photos and videos during the whole stay! Thank you, Stephanie!”
“We were visiting Niagara Falls with our dog, Ruby, and wanted a safe/fun place for her to stay while we explored the area. Holly was great! She sent updates throughout the day (which gave me peace of mind), and Ruby loved playing with her two dogs. The fenced yard was a big plus. Everything worked out perfectly, and we’d definitely reach out to Holly again if we’re back in the area.”
“You can tell Conner takes such pride in what he does. He is more than a pet sitter. His live and dedication shines through. He gives me peace of mind when I drop Barley off.”
“Our Max had a wonderful time in Monique’s care. We took advantage of the pick up & drop off service, (worth every cent or the additional charge), as we were traveling in a RV parked at the KOA. She sent many photo up dates throughout the long day 9am - 10pm. He enjoyed socializing and walking with the other dogs and a lot of lap time. Max was very excited to see us and told all about his days adventures in his silly way of conversing with us. 🐾❣️🐾”
“Great communication and very easy going. Instead of spending 6h in her crate, she spend it running around a yard with a new friend. We plan to use Siobhan again next time we plan a day trip.”
“I can't say enough good things about Jolene and Martin! Ellie loved them and loved going to their home for care:) she came home tired and hungry and that was great! She was so excited when we were in the car turning onto their street, it was so reassuring to see! This is my first experience with doggy daycare and I won't hesitate to book them again should the need arise:) thank you for being so good to my Ellie!!!”
“Monica provided excellent care to Sully and was extremely professional in assuring me that he would be watched carefully. I appreciated the meet and greet and her effort to drive to Welland to do so. She is a lovely person and takes great pride in offering the best care possible. We will see you again!”
“Charlene was amazing. My doggie is from the US and he now has a CA dog buddy name Dora & a special human friend Charlene🌷. She took such great care of Rocket. He enjoyed himself for 2 daytime daycare visits.. This helped us have a more enjoyable vacation and afforded Rocket the same as well. This was our first road trip with Rocket. Thank You so much Charlene.💐🌸🌺🌸🌷🌷🌷🌷🌺🌸💐”
“If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your dogs, I can’t recommend Ibifuro enough. She took my two dogs, Nugget (my French Bulldog) and Shylo, on very short notice after I reached out the night before, and I was so grateful she was able to help. From the moment I dropped them off, I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She is kind, patient, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Knowing they were with someone who treated them like her own gave me real peace of mind while I was away. When I picked them up, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s obvious that she goes above and beyond to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Nugget and Shylo with her again, and I highly recommend Ibifuro to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and dependable dog sitter. She’s wonderful, and my dogs were in the best hands.”
About: Hi! I’m Holly, a lifelong dog lover who works from home, so your pup will get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I have a 15 year old small fluffy white dog with medical needs, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog’s care. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I’m happy to tailor their routine to what they’re used to. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, medication (including eye drops), special feeding routines, and dogs with separation anxiety who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I know every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality and routines so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work from home, so I am available to take your dog on walks, playtime, and potty breaks as needed. There is a dog bed in my office for your pup to hang out with me! I am attentive to all specific instructions. If your pet has specific needs like personality quirks, separation anxiety, medication schedules, or is very routine-driven, just let me know and I’m happy to adapt. All dogs are different, so let me know how I can best replicate your typical schedule to provide some stability and comfort for your pet!

“Lauren is the best!!!!! Our Emmett LOVES her. Lauren has been coming for walks while I recuperate from a fall and Emmett has been waiting at the window for her to come. Absolutely excited to see her. She truly cares about your pup. Lauren is now part of our family.”
“Great experience with Connor! He was very reliable and able to cater to Milo’s needs (reactive on leash). He’s knowledgeable and clearly a big dog lover! Very happy overall.”
“This was our first time leaving our Benji alone for a week. We were feeling very unsure and anxious as to how to go about this. Our daughter was getting married in Mexico and everyone we knew would attend. A friend mentioned Rover and we investigated. But who to trust? After a few attempts, we noticed Jade with all her great reviews. It was the right decision! Jade was prompt, courteous, lovely with huge smiles. Most importantly, Benji warmed right up to her! We knew it then. Our worries faded quickly. Every day, twice, we were texted the time of walking, the map of the route, his activity and pictures. It made our week! Jade was so consistent and thorough, we vowed to give her a big SHOUT OUT! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, the assurance was greatly appreciated! :)”
“This was the first time using a dog walking service . I can’t say enough about Karen and rover . Karen was amazing, sent pictures every day and kept us posted on the walks. I will definitely be using this service again!”
“Nothing but positive things to say about Jonathon! He is trustworthy, reliable and absolutely adores animals! He has been working with my pup with “leave it” and I am absolutely blown away how responsive my pup is to him in such a short amount of time! He has a magic way with animals for sure!”

“We are so thankful we found Marisa. She is the most reliable dog walker we've ever had and is an excellent communicator. We love getting the fun photo updates from their walks, and it's a huge relief to know our dog is in such good hands!”
About: I grew up with a beautiful, high-energy golden retriever, taking him for walks and car rides, brushing him, and giving him tons of pets. As someone who loves animals but isn’t in the position to have a pet of my own, I take any opportunity I can to hangout and take care of them. I had the opportunity recently to dog walk a senior dog and pet sit a couple big dogs for a few family friends and loved every minute of it. I took them for walks and potty breaks, fed them, played with them, and made sure to keep them on their normal routine while their owners were away. I am a quick learner who is able to follow instruction very well and ask questions when needed, so if your pet needs any extra care (for example, administering oral medication), I am more than comfortable taking on new tasks. I am currently in between employment and am looking for ways to make some money while I gear up for a master’s program in Scotland this fall. My availability is very flexible (e.g. mornings, afternoons, evenings, week days, and weekends) as my only other commitment is helping my brother with special needs on occasion. I will have plenty of time to give extra care and attention to your pets. I am very respectful, making sure to treat your home and pets as my own and ensuring their safety. For walks, I’ll make sure to use your preferred collar or harness, take the same walking route if that is what your pet prefers, always picking up their poop and putting it in the proper garbage, and making sure the doors/gates are locked before leaving. If your dog doesn’t enjoy interactions with other pets or people, I will make sure to avoid those situations, or if they do, give them plenty of time to socialize. In the home, I will make sure any hazards are put away, food is secured, things are put back where they belong, and make sure off-limit places stay off-limits. I will follow all instructions and send questions your way if I am unsure about anything. Plus, I’ll send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and well when you’re away.
“My pup Zeus was well taken care of. He now waits by the front door for Gillian while he is at my parents. I am very happy I found her! She handles a large dog like Zeus effortlessly. Thank you Gillian”
“Trisha was very flexible and excellent communication. She helped us out with our dog when we needed last minute service and was very accommodating and reliable. Would highly recommend her services and we will definitely use her again.”
“Awesome dog walker. Very prompt and really loves dogs. Bedelia just took to her and was very well behaved. Grecia even provided some nice pictures of Bedelia out on the walk.”

“Victoria did a great job with mason! He loved her company and he looked so happy in the pictures and videos she sent throughout the day. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life! Growing up we've always had multiple pets in our home. We've raised kittens into cats and puppies into dogs, all of this providing me with excellent hands-on experience with every stage of care in an animals life. Since I was 10, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after them. Now at 21, I’ve taken my dogs through training courses and have had plenty of experience caring for pets when my parents travel—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved! I am entering a full time job where I will work weekdays 9-5 but I have nights and weekends off and would love to help care for your furry friends! Although my yard is unfenced, I’m more than happy to take your dogs out multiple times a day and go outside with them on a leash to run and play. I’ll also gladly accommodate any specific requirements you have to ensure you and your pet feels safe and comfortable.
“Kallie was so great with Harlowe! She provided excellent updates the entire time and made me feel so comfortable. You can tell she really loves and cares for your pet. I will definitely be booking with Kallie again in the future! Harlowe absolutely adored her ?”
About: I have had pets in my life since I was young. I have taken care and loved them my whole life! I am familiar with administering medication, as well as feeding, walks, and general care. I’d be happy to love your pet while you’re gone! I currently attend school but I have plenty of time to care for your pets on weekends and in between classes. I would be happy to work around your schedule! I will happily crate your pets if needed. I will always make sure they are supervised and happy! They will be fed, clean and taken care of.
About: I am a huge animal lover! I have a lovely black cat that I adopted several years ago. She is the sweetest, a cuddle bug that loves belly rubs and even knows a few tricks! I absolutely love all animals, I'm the type of person to point out every dog I see while on a drive somewhere. I have a full and open schedule currently. Having a cat doesn't require a ton of time but she does love to spend time with me in the garden, she might be a little upset about that.😹 We have a full fenced in yard with gate, my cat is an indoor cat but comes out on supervision. Cats can be very harmful to the local eco-system so we keep a close eye on her! (we also don't want her to get to any plants that could make her sick!)
About: I lived with a close family for 2 years where they had the fluffiest Samoyed you could imagine, loved taking care of him whenever I could or whenever they were gone, brushing him meant bags and bags of fur. Learned that all dogs need is patience and you’ll eventually get along well. I’m currently taking some spring courses at my university and ended up with more free time than I anticipated, took care of a friends dog recently and missing the moments already. I’m available Fridays Saturdays and Sundays. For weekdays it depends on how much work I need to do but as long as I have a heads up I can make it work for both sides. I love cardio so If keeping your dog active is important then I can overachieve there, lots of trails in the surrounding area that dogs would love. I live on the top floor of my apartment with no roommates at the moment so full focus will be on the dog.

“Naomi & Sam were amazing sitters for our 3 yr old (85 pound) Bernese Mountain dog. Our dog was able to stay with them for 6 nights and while she was with them she got lots of walks, great play time with their dog and kids and Naomi sent us pictures of all of her adventures every day. Having a large breed dog in your home is a challenge for many people, and this family was awesome. I would highly recommend using Naomi and Sam for a short or long stay with your dog - they were GREAT hosts. We will be booking with them again for sure.”
“Samantha and family were fantastic to our Golden - Poppy. Right from drop off, to daily updates and pick up - everything was smooth and we felt so good knowing Poppy was in such good hands. Samantha's dog and cat were also so great with Poppy. She had a wonderful stay and we'd highly recommend Samantha in the future.”
“Darien was absolutely fantastic with our girl (Elsa)! From the onset of booking she made me feel completely at ease by setting up a video chat so that we could meet and I would be comfortable with where Elsa would be staying. Darien would send frequent updates of Elsa’s activities at her place and I could tell Elsa was so well taken care of by Darien and her family (she looked like she was right at home!!). I was also very happy to hear that Elsa got along well with Darien’s dog because Elsa is normally not a very social dog. All in all, Elsa had a comfortable and happy stay and I would definitely bring Elsa back for future boardings 😊!”
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have 4+ years experience at a doggy daycare care and kennel, with proficiency working with small, medium, and large dog breeds! My passion for animal care extends beyond dogs and cats—I also have a strong passion for small and large farm animals and have had lots of hands on experience working with them. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s something I truly love. Whether your furry companion loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm, reassuring presence, I’ll tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I’ll be sure to send lots of photos and provide regular updates! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! :) I’m currently working part time at a restaurant so, I’ll have plenty of time for walks, giving love, and playing with your pups! I typically work Monday, Tuesday and Saturday nights for around 5 hours each night. There is a big park just up the street from me with lots of grass and room for running around (however, it is not fenced in). I also have a small, black pug that is super friendly and will play with your dog!
“We are very grateful and happy for the care they gave our little Loki. They were always very communicative and affectionate. Thank you very much. 100% recommended.”
“Amazing sitter!! I know when I leave Jiraiya with Ryan, he's going to have a blast. I can tell Jiraiya has plenty of playtime because he's a sleepy boy on the car ride home lol. Thank you Ryan :)”
“Really thankful I came across Teena and Wayne’s profile when searching for someone to watch my dog while I was away in Portugal on vacation. Teena and Wayne were instantly responsive and arranged for a meet and greet with my dog Karma prior to us deciding whether or not she would benefit and be a good fit for staying 12 days with them while I was away. The meet and greet went well, and I felt confident that Karma would be well taken care of while I was traveling. She was instantly comfortable with both of them and they also asked important questions about Karma and how best to care for her! That showed me that they really do care about their quality of service, and that I could trust them to watch her. They were great at setting me updates throughout the time that I was away and that allowed me to feel more confident and comfortable that Karma was in good hands. I highly recommend Teena and Wayne for pet boarding services and will definitely be a repeat. Customer should the opportunity arise that I need care for Karma in the future. Thank you so much to both of you 🙏🏻”
“Stephanie provides a loving and caring home. Communication is outstanding and cared for my dog qs if it was her own. Will be booking with Stephanie for future trips”
“Trisha was fantastic. It was Charlie’s first experience going to a sitter and I was a little nervous. Tricia’s house is warm and friendly. She greeted us at the door and engaged with Charlie immediately. He even felt comfortable enough to run through the house to get a toy! What I really appreciated was how Trisha asked about Charlie’s likes/dislikes and routine. She works really hard to ensure everything is as consistent and comfortable as possible. When I picked him up the next day he was happy and energetic. Thank you Trisha for making our first Rover experience an awesome one. We look forward to Charlie’s next sleepover with you.”
“Shannon was AMAZING! She provided constant communication and showed us photos of her walks. Even when the dogs get tired she showed us that they had a nice relaxing stay. If I ever need my dog and my sister’s dog take care of, I know who to trust. Thank you!”
“Hayley was really great with Piper, sending us photos and taking her for a long walk with her dog Penny! We felt really comfortable leaving her for the night while we attended a wedding! Would highly recommend Hayley!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Dana and her family Rock! They were amazing with my 14 yo 5# Pomeranian, Roxie, was is a tri-pod. Roxie settled in nicely with Dana's super chill pups, and Dana. Dana sent us pictures of Roxie during her stay, while we enjoyed all Niagra Falls has to offer. We definitely recommend her and her family! We would (will!) Rebook with her next time!”
“We left our two pups with Andreas for 10 days and it was the first time we boarded our dogs so we were a bit nervous. But he was so wonderful with them, and they felt so loved the entire time. He kept us regularly updated and couldn’t have asked for someone better to look after them.”
“Catia was AMAZING with Altivo. We left Altivo with her for 10 days and she sent updates regularly. She took him for daily walks, a trip to Canadian tire, the beach and car rides. In Every photo our dog looked so happy. He even had an issue with his ears that she took care of and snuggled him to make him feel at home. Definitely recommend her as she clearly loves animals and takes very good care of them.”
“Jenn and Brian were wonderful with Mika. They treated her as she was one of their own. Spoiling her with treats, love and affection. I would highly recommend booking with them.”
