“So communicative during my dogs stay with updates, can’t recommend enough. My dog can be stubborn with feeding when I’m not around and he was absolutely fine and super comfortable!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jessie and Joseph. From the very first meeting, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. Throughout the time they cared for him, I received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how his day was going. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was not only being well looked after, but also loved and entertained. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about dogs, I highly recommend Jessie and Joseph.They treat your pup like family, and that’s the best gift a pet parent could ask for.”

“Don't like leaving Maxy, but after a few visits with Stacey especially for the past 8 nights, I find him to be well looked after and doesn't seem bothered about being left in Staceys good hands. I got regular updates and photos which is very reassuring. Tks Stacey”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Natalie and Daniela d their boys. Bear is so excited to go and stay and he is welcomed with open opens and treated like a member of the family. It makes going away less stressful. Great communication and great updates.”

“Mahan took such great care of our girl, Twix, this weekend. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Twix was in such good hands. You can tell Mahan genuinely cares — we came home to a happy, well-looked-after doggy. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely book again!”

“Berlin had a fantastic weekend with Francine. This is the first time we left Berlin with Francine . She is truly amazing Petsitter. Grateful that she accepted my last minute request to board Berlin. All I can say is she is great with pets . Highly recommend Francine”

“Best experience for both Whiskey and his hoomans. A stress free experience as they kept me updated with photos and videos. They even bought a toy for Whiskey to play with. Thank you very much. Hopefully you guys liked Whiskey too and accept to care for him in future.”

“Angela was very caring and attentive towards Turbo. She was great with communicating always responded very fast. Angela also sent pictures of Turbo throughout his stay so I can feel relax on my vacation.”
“First time boarded our dogs with Honey and family, they came back happy. My dogs had a great time with her kids and their pup Oreo. We kept getting frequent updates, which kept our minds at ease. They had regular walks which is very much appreciated. We will come back to Honey again to board them in the future :)”

“Stephen and Vanessa were excellent with our dog Benji and we would absolutely book with them again! They sent daily updates and even looked after him for an extra night at the last minute when our flight was delayed, which we really appreciated. It seemed like Benji had a blast playing with their kids and their dog Chewy. Highly recommend them!”

“I can’t recommend Jeff enough! He was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. Luke was happy, well cared for, and relaxed when I returned. Jeff kept me updated and followed all instructions perfectly. Will 100% book again.”

“Vanessa and her father are wonderful people. Left our white retriever with them for 6 days and he felt at home. Their dog is a gem too.. friendly and super energetic. They kept sending pictures to us and provided daily updates, which was very reassuring. Thank you Vanessa for hosting Banco. We will see you again in Dec :)”

“Aqua had a great time and was well taken care of. We received pictures of her threw out the weekend and she always looked very happy. We would recommend Leanne and would use her again.”

“Bill and Norma watched Emma and Hannah for several days for us. It was our first time working with them as sitters. I was grateful for their patience and thoughtfulness. Hannah can be challenging, given her conversational tendencies and quirkiness. We dealt mostly with Bill. I noticed he took extra time when Hannah needed more attention. He also realized the differences in both dogs' personalities and worked to kindly manage them as they demonstrated need. I would leave our dogs with them again. They came home quiet, well adjusted and settled right back into our routine.”

“Heli and Chintan are very good personality specially they took care of my Bambi like family.They have dedicated their time to Bambi. They have sent videos and photo very often. Bambi has tendency of stressing out if she is feel isolated, she will immediately develop red patches on her body. I will strongly recommend them.”

“Jessica and her family were absolutely amazing with my dog, Stanley! From the regular updates and sweet photos, it was clear he felt comfortable and cared for. Jessica was responsive, thoughtful, kind, and very accommodating. Stanley had the best time and I know he’s already looking forward to his next visit! I highly recommend Jessica and her family to anyone looking for a lovable and reliable sitter.”

“We had an amazing experience with Ginny taking care of our puppy, Muffin, for 3 days. Muffin absolutely loved her stay and especially enjoyed playing with the toys Ginny provided. Ginny was very attentive and caring, and we truly appreciated the constant updates and photos that kept us reassured about how Muffin was doing. It was clear Muffin was happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. We would 100% trust Ginny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving and reliable care for their pet.”

Pickering dog parents share their Rover experiences
We are very happy with the loving care provided by Alexa and Andrew to our fur baby Rex. Our pet dog was very well taken care of while we were away for a weekend attending a funeral. Both Alexa and Andrew were amazing with rex and we will gladly use them again and recommend them to anyone. They gave us daily updates with pictures. We really appreciate their service. Thank you Alexa and Andew!

Andrew and Alexa went beyond and above taking care of Charlie. Our baby is very challenging due to past experiences and high energy level that Charlie needs effective and efficient strategies to make his day fun and not boring. Alexa and Andrew did incredible care for our baby that when he gets home after our 6-days vacation, Charlie became calm and compliant with directions during walks and when playing indoors. In my own perspective, their passion and discipline strategies with dogs will make them qualified dog trainers. If there is an award for best dog caretakers, I will vote for them. Now, we can book our vacation without worrying who will take care of Charlie. Thank you Alexa and Andrew for the excellent service.

Ella loves her stays with her best friend Zuzuuu .. thank you Heli and Chintankumar for always taking such great care of her.. she always comes back with happy tail wags and super fun energy. Appreciated all the updates though out the week and knowing Ella is with you I never worry and actually get to enjoy my vacation. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your fur baby look no further.
