“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.”
“Sharai was amazing with my dog! She was patient, caring, and even helped him learn how to confidently use the stairs while in her care. The progress was incredible, and I truly appreciated the updates and attention she gave throughout the stay. I highly recommend Sharai and would happily book with her again!”
“I’m writing this review on behalf of my sister, Karen, in her own words: "Julia was truly the best thing that happened for me and my Maggie. When Maggie came home, she was so relaxed and happy—I instantly knew she had been in the best hands. I can't thank Julia enough for taking such wonderful care of my Maggie-May, giving her all the love and attention she needed, and even bathing her. Maggie is used to regular grooming, but I had been feeling unwell for a couple of weeks and just couldn’t manage it. Julia stepped in when I needed it most, and I’ll always be grateful for her kindness and care.”
“We are so happy with Melissa and her family and well they took care of Syrus while we were on vacation. Loved receiving the pictures and updates everyday...it helped us to enjoy ourselves knowing that he was safe and enjoying his time with their dog. Thank you very much and we will definitely be using you again on our next trip!”
“Loryn was very communicative about how Nova was doing throughout her stay and provided photos often. Nova had a great time with her during her stay and would definitely be back.”
“Lori was excellent, she kept us updated on a daily basis and sent cute photos. Thank you Lori for taking such great care of Tobi on our vacation. I highly recommend her .”
“I never have to worry about my pups with Melissa! She and her family give them all the love and I also appreciate the regular updates and photos :). We love our Oshawa family and are so happy we can rely on them for our fur babies.”
“We left Stanley in Maya's care for the past 5 days. She was kind and caring and made sure he was well looked after while we were away. Maya's communication was great, so we were very comfortable knowing our little guy was in good hands. We would happily book with Maya again, and highly recommend her to others.”
“Kyla-Lea was very welcoming and kept us up to date with photos and messages. She was also very quick to answer messages. Tucker enjoyed his stay and will definitely be back for some more fun!”
“Margaret was incredible with our pup Bayleigh. The communication was just enough to know our boy was doing well. Loved receiving pictures and videos of him having fun and getting cuddles!! Would definitely leave Bayleigh with Margaret again.”
“Heather and Al are absolutely fantastic! Our GSP just did an overnight stay for the first time and they were amazing with her. From the start to finish the care and attention they gave our girl was truly heart warming. We received lots of photos, videos and updates throughout her stay. She got lots of walks, runs in there amazing backyard and lots of love, pets and cuddles. Ray had so much fun playing with there dog Garth too! He’s an awesome boy! We will definitely be bringing Ray back to stay and play with them soon! 🐾”

We are so thankful for the great care you provide and know that Millie is in good hands. Sincerely, Claire”
“Kripa is amazing. I got such timely updates, she made sure that my dog was well taken care of. I did not feel worried or stressed at all. And the care for my dog was so good, maybe too good, because my dog didn’t want to leave hahahaha. I highly recommend Kripa & I am looking forward to inquiring for her services again when my dog needs to be looked after.”

Oshawa dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lori and her family was great with Marshal (Dog). Marshal was with her for 5 days and being a senior dog he required some special attention and Lori did a great job at it. Lori provided daily updates and shared a lot of pictures. I appreciated all of her anecdotes and laugh out loud comments about how Marshal was on any particular day. Will definitely be reaching out to her again for dog sitting.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one we had with William! This was our first time ever leaving our dog in someone else’s care, so we were naturally nervous. However, William’s incredible communication and willingness to understand our unique needs, put our hearts at ease. We received daily updates and plenty of pictures and videos, which we absolutely loved!! Our dog was clearly well taken care of and loved while with him. We couldn’t be more grateful and will definitely be reaching out to William in the future. What an amazing human being!
Karen was truly an angel on earth while caring for our paralyzed dog, Kai. Leaving our dog in someone else’s care was understandably nerve-wracking, especially given his mobility challenges and medically prescribed daily needs. From the moment we connected with Karen, she put our minds at ease with her compassion, professionalism, and clear love for animals. She was incredibly attentive to all of his care requirements and followed his medical routine with great detail. Karen maintained constant communication throughout the stay and never hesitated to reach out if she had any questions or wanted clarification. That level of diligence meant the world to us. The photo and video updates she sent were far more frequent than we’ve experienced with other boarders, and we genuinely looked forward to each one. Seeing our dog comfortable, happy, and so well cared for gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that Karen cared for our pet as if he were her own. We are so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication she showed. We would trust Karen again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, especially families with pets who have special medical or mobility needs.
Amanda was super amazing with Mikko. He had such a blast with her the whole day and we could see it in the picture updates she sent us. We totally appreciate Amanda’s communication throughout the day, especially with it being Mikko’s first time with pet sitter. 100% we’ll be going back and Mikko will probably love that.
Shelby provided an extraordinary care for my two huskies during their stay with her. From the flexibility to do a Meet and Greet to providing me daily updates of my dogs; she made me feel at ease. Her place was good environment (closer to what we have at home); a family place, not a kennel. She also brushed them and provided some 1-1 time to each one of them as they love their pets. For sure, I will consider her again for another boarding when the family is travelling. Thank you for making my time off more relaxing as well.
Boarded our dog Milo with Gabi for 10 days while away on vacation. She is a great care giver and dog lover and we feel so glad to have her for doggie daycare and boarding when needed. She checked in with us by sending photos so we knew Milo was doing well. Gabi was quick to respond when we just missed our pup and wanted an update. Strongly recommend Gabi for any dog sitting needs!
Melissa and Brian were amazing with our Mango! We could see the bond they developed when we picked our puppy up and how happy Mango looked while in their care. Mango was with them for almost 10 days during which time, he was well taken care of and they were very attentive! Thanks for everything!
Kyla took wonderful care of Buddy while we were away. He was comfortable, well looked after, and clearly had a great time making new dog friends. We really appreciated Kyla’s prompt communication and regular updates, which gave us complete peace of mind. Buddy came back happy and relaxed. We would absolutely book with her again.
