“Sandy and her partner were lovely to communicate & coordinate with and I received regular updates on Shadow’s stay with them. They have a big back yard that is fenced in that my dog loved to explore and a nice deck for him to sun tan on (his fav). Would highly recommend Sandy as a rover sitter!”

About: I am an experienced dog walker (see referral) and am comfortable & love working with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have covered feedings, administering medications, and overnight housing experience. I am new to the community and looking.tk help out where I can. I WFH currently and have a very malleable schedule to adjust to your dog's needs. In my free time I design and make clothing (as well as dog wear); inquire for more info. I work a typical Monday - Friday schedule, however I operate completely WFH with a very flexible schedule. I'm a morning person so a typical day would include a walk before work, another on my lunch and then a trip to the dog park after work. Maddie is half lab so I never have to worry about what he's doing because he's probably 10 feet away. He's fed full meals twice a day, a mix of: kibble, a source of protein (typically chicken organs or beef), essential fats (coconut oil) and some sweet potato and yogurt for stomach health. (He'll probably get an egg or two on the side too whenever I eat). Ive utilized this combination since adoption; He's full of energy and constantly gets compliments on his coat. I have always been kind and patient and this has created very easy bonds with animals.
“Absolutely hands down the best experience. This was the first time using Rover and Michelle was great! My girl Fiona I think enjoyed her stay as well. Super communicative, always sending pictures and super accommodating. Will definitely be rebooking with Michelle the next time I have to travel. Thank you Michelle!”
“Siobhan gave us frequent updates on how Oliver was doing and even let him sleep on a blanket beside her bed. She was so lovely to communicate with and Oliver was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. I highly recommend Siobhan for dog sitting and we intend to use her services in the future.”
“Nitro had a great time with Richard and enjoyed being with other dogs during his week there. I got regular updates and pics which gave me peace of mind he was well cared for. I would definitely use Richard again when going away.”
“Charlene took great care of our Gracie for a day and overnight while we were out of town. We were fortunate that she was able to accommodate us on short notice! Charlene also sent us lots of pictures and some videos where we could tell that Gracie was having lots of fun playing with her own dog Dora, as well as some downtime resting with Dora. We would definitely be happy leaving Gracie again in Charlene’s care.”
“My puppy was so happy at Courtney space! And I appreciate Courtney was doing a wonderful job sending me photos of my puppy. I will definitely reach out to Courtney for taking care of my baby doggie again. 100% recommend her!”
“Miryam took amazing care of cooper! She sent lots of photos and kept us updated during his stay which helped put us at ease. Cooper didn't want to leave! Highly recommend Miryam and will be using her again :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Colborne
We had to leave our pup for 5 nights and we were anxious how things would turn out. Catia was very friendly, we could meet n greet with her and she took such nice care of our pup, she was always available to respond to questions, sent us constant updates, and it feels like our pup had a pretty awesome time with her. Would highly recommend Catia and we would certainly consider her services in the future.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
