“We just finished pet sitting with Julia for almost 5 weeks and it was wonderful stay for my little pup Daizy. Julia took care of her like her own dog and provided me with all the regular updates. Julia and her husband are the most wonderful being and super caring. Daizy was super happy and healthy while we got her back. I really can not thank you enough guys for taking such a wonderful care of my baby while we were away for long time. I would always be looking forward to have you guys take care of Daizy on every future occasion. THANK YOU from Daizy🐾 and her mom & dad.”

“It was our first time to use Rover so we weren’t sure how it was gonna go. Arlene did amazing with our senior dog (blind & deaf). She was so patient with him. Our dog usually gets really stressed in the past at the kennel but it looked like Snoopy has an amazing time with Arlene. Thank you Arlene!”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful and treated my dog like a princess. I would tell others that you can't find better than Amanda anywhere she goes far beyond what you are expecting. I believe my dog had a better vacation than I had. She was one lucky dog and was truly "Pampered" Jeannie P.”
“Faye was wonderful with our puppy Penny. It was her first experience away from home and Faye made sure she felt safe and secure. She kept us informed throughout with pictures, videos and messages. If you need someone to care for your fur baby, Faye is trustworthy and a true animal lover!”
“It was Chester’s first time and he was very well taken care of. Pratheeksha updated us with texts and photos during the stay. She made sure he was comfortable and took extra time and effort to make sure he ate properly. Thank you for the love and care he was shown! Will definitely be rebooking again and highly recommend!”
“Anchana did such an excellent job! We were especially grateful for her patience with Teddy seeing that he is a puppy and has occasional accidents. Plus, she went over and beyond and surpassed our expectations! She’s a keeper!”
“Super anxious leaving my cat in someone's care for the first time. Julia made things so much less stressful for me. Multiple updates a day with pictures. Misty looked like she was stress-free in Julia's care. I will be using Julia in the future :)”
“Our dog Beau stayed with Surbhi and Tushar for 5 days while my family and I went on vacation. They made sure that Beau was comfortable with them and their dog before his stay. They were very reliable with meeting times and his schedule. They communicated well with us while we were on vacation by sending us photos and text updates everyday. This was Beaus first stay over at someone else's house and he seemed very comfortable and happy. Beau has alot of energy and they were able to work with him. I would definitely send Beau to stay with Surbhi and Tushar again. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a place for their pet.”
“As always Maximus was an excited to go for a sleepover at Pipa’s. 💕 he pulls me to the door. There’s no better feeling then leaving your dog knowing they are happy and enjoy going.”
“Monica was a fantastic host for Luna, her backyard is beautiful and very big which allowed Luna to run and run :) Timely responses and flexibility on time from Monica really made us feel at ease leaving Luna with her. We will definitely be back again :)”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after Diesel than Monique and her wonderful family. From the moment we left him, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Diesel was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It was clear he wasn’t just being “looked after” — he was treated like part of their family. We especially appreciated the updates and the genuine affection they showed him. When we picked him up, it was obvious he had been loved and cared for so well. A special thank you to her son as well, who formed such a sweet bond with Diesel. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Monique and her family to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet care. Thank you again for everything ❤️”

Bill and Margaret are like family in the way they love and treat my baby. I don’t have to worry when my Harley’s in their care. I fell the genuineness of their hearts and love for my 16 year old senior baby. They keep in touch daily with pics and videos. Always positive and pleasant to deal with. My baby loves them just the same.
Mia looked completely comfortable with Sharai,which was a relief. Sharai did a great job of keeping in touch with us and sharing photos of Mia. We felt reassured that Mia was being well taken care of. Thank You for taking care of our girl! We'll book with you again.😀
I can't recommend Cecily enough! She took care of my dog, Izora, for 10 days, and when Izora developed an eye infection, Cecily handled it with so much care and attention. She consistently administered both eye drops and oral medications right on schedule. It gave me total peace of mind knowing Izora was in such compassionate and capable hands. We will definitely be booking with her again.
Faye was an amazing sitter. Our Snowy was well loved and looked after. Faye is very flexible and understanding. She is a pet mom herself so it makes things so much easy. We left Snowy for 2 nights / 3 days; Snowy had so much fun. We will definitely use Faye's services in the future and highly recommend her if you are from the Oshawa area.
Qian was the most phenomenal sitter I could have possibly asked for. When I was looking on Rover I was concerned I wouldn’t find someone that could care for my girl as much as I do, but I was so wrong. Qian sent me tons of updates with photos, reassuring me the entire time as this was my first time being away from my girl. If you are looking for someone to watch your dog that is kind, attentive and caring, I could not recommend Qian enough. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.
Kazi is an amazing dog sitter. Our Rosie always comes back from her home very healthy and happy. We know we can trust our beloved fur baby in the hands of someone so kind and compassionate towards animals. Kazi gives multiple updates and pictures of our dog during the time she is with the sitter. We can rest assured that all is well and that Rosie is in good care. 5 stars for a wonderful experience.
This was Axel’s first time boarding with Kayla - Lea. She did a great job with him. The pictures she sent of him while we were away, gave us peace of mind because he looked quite comfortable and happy. He boarded with her picked for 8 days. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her services in the future.
