“Angela was amazing when we left our pup for 4 days. We got regular updates as well as photos/videos. She treated him like he was her own dog. Will definitely use her services again and recommend to friends. Thank you so much Angela.”

“Braxton spent the weekend with Jessica and her family while I was away. From the all the pictures that was sent I can tell he had a fantastic time. He almost didn’t want to leave haha. 10 out of 10!!!”

“They were incredibly accommodating, even with our last-minute booking. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos. The puppies were cared for, and we truly appreciated the experience. We would definitely book again in the future. Thank you!”

“Thank you to Tia and her family for taking such great care of our boy while we were away! We received updates and photos to let us know how it was going. He came back home very happy, tired and clean!”

“We recently had the pleasure of having Allyson (& her daughter and 3-year-old poodle, Annie) take care of my dog, Lucy, while we were away, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met them, it was clear that they had a genuine love for dogs. Allyson took the time to get to know Lucy, understanding her quirks and needs, which put me at ease right away. She asked all the right questions! During the time Lucy was with Allyson and her family, we received regular updates and adorable photos and videos showing how much fun they were having together. She took Lucy on daily walks, played with her, and even provided a cozy spot for her to nap in front of her fireplace. It was evident that Lucy was well-cared for and happy in all of their company. Her daughter even let Lucy sleep with her at night! Returning home, I found Lucy relaxed and content, which is a testament to the care she received. I highly recommend Allyson to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Lucy and I will definitely be reaching out again for future visits! Thank you for making my time away stress-free!”

“I am confident that my dog Carly is happy and will be well taken care of when she’s with Leanne. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was in good hands. Leanne is always my first choice border to leave my dog with when I’m away. Thank you again for the wonderful care!!”

“Karen took such wonderful care of my cat, Neo, while I was away on vacation. She went above and beyond by sending daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Neo was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Karen is fantastic with cats—her warmth and attentiveness really shine through, and it made all the difference. She was also incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I’m so glad I chose Karen, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”

“Brant was amazing with Biscuit. We received numerous photo and even video updates through his stay. Biscuit got lots of walks and freedom to roam in his yard and play with his dogs. He made sure Biscuit was comfortable with his dogs and was very patient with Biscuit who was scared at first. Now Biscuit has new best friends.”

“Cici made sure Louie was comfortable and attentive to him as he settled in a new environment away from us. She provided us with photo updates during his stay that left us reassured that Louie was in good hands. Thank you Cici for taking care of Louie and treating him like your own!”

“Diana is the sweetest caregiver, she truly loves dogs and was awesome to my sweet girl Domino again. This was a repeat stay to which I was confident would go very well for both. Diana even teared up as we left, clearly indicating her genuine love for my dog. I appreciate Diana & her family’s hospitality and kindness to my fur baby so much! Thank you again for taking such great care of Domino! 🐶💖🐾”

“I had a great experience with Kaksha! My pup stayed overnight at their home, which was clean, welcoming, and pet-friendly. They provided excellent care and attention, sent updates with photos and videos, and spent lots of time playing fetch with my energetic pup. It gave me peace of mind knowing my young pup was happy and well cared for. I would book with her again :)”

“Karen took wonderful care of Mochi from April 9–14. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. Mochi was happy, well looked after, and settled in comfortably under her care. Karen provided regular updates, which gave great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Mochi received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.”

“Janet and her husband took great care of Ballu. He is a dog with a lot of anxiety and is hard of hearing but Janet made sure he settled right in. She sent pictures and updates throughout which was greatly appreciated.”

“Pei Shan took great care of my puppy who came home happy and clearly well loved. She kept me updated with messages and photos. I felt comfortable to have her to take care of my puppy. I highly recommend her to anyone who looks for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Hayley was so good with our dog Lacey. I have never boarded or left her with anyone other than family. As soon as I met Hayley, I knew she would be a good fit. I was so anxious about finding the right home and Hayley was it. She updated me daily about Lacey and it was if Lacey was right at home! Thanks so much Hayley for taking care of Lacey for us. I would use Hayley again to look after Lacey 100%!”

“I found Charmaine's contact on Rover. I am really happy with having Charmaine dog-sit my beloved canine. Before the care date, she asked lots of questions about my dog's needs, and showed genuine interest. She answered all of my communications promptly. I felt very comfortable and confident with her watching my dog for a week while I was away in Europe. She sent lots of photos and videos and my dog was clearly very happy. In fact she didn't want to leave when I came to pick her up! I feel so lucky to have found Charmaine to watch my dog when I am away (in her home). She is amazing and I completely recommend her for dog-care!”

“My two dogs stayed with Amrit for three days. During the stay, she sent us many daily photos and updates and made sure they were in good hands. She is a great communicator and kept us well informed the whole time. They seemed to enjoy their time with Amrit. Highly recommended!”

“Mira and Charles took excellent care of our dog, Bentley! Before the stay, they asked lots of good questions about his personality and needs, so they could provide him with the best possible care. While we were away, they shared frequent updates and lots of photos and videos with us. We wouldn't hesitate to have them look after Bentley again.”

Pickering pet 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.
