“Bruna is amazing! I couldn't ask for anything more. From the very beginning, when I was scheduling Duna’s stay, Bruna made me feel comfortable by addressing my concerns about leaving my dog with someone else for the first time. She assured me that Duna would be in good hands, and indeed she was! I received updates about Duna’s walks, potty breaks, playtime, and sleep, along with pictures—Duna always looked happy, by the way. I will definitely book Duna’s future stays with Bruna; she truly went above and beyond!”
“Excellent care of my dog, he was happy and relaxed when I went to pick up him. She send me updates and pictures of my dog while I was in my trip making me feel happy and secure that he was fine. Definitely I recommend Ella as a pet care ❤️ and for sure I will use her services again in the future :)”
“Clara and Elmo are truly incredible - Jack stayed with them for the weekend and it’s so clear from the many pictures shared that he had an absolute blast. They are both so lovely and patient with him ☺️ I feel very grateful to have found them and definitely plan to have them care for Jack again in the future!”
“Qianzhi was so great! She sent me regular updates and photos. My cat Lulu was not used to strange places and she made her feel so comfortable and at home. Highly recommend and would use again!”
“Yingshu and Shervin are really nice! Highly recommend! They took wonderful care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog came home happy and well cared for. Reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with—I would definitely book with them again!”
“Judy is a wonderful dogsitter. Our pup was delighted to spend time with her. You know when there is a connection and genuine love for dogs - Judy is that person. So grateful that we can have a peace of mind when we have to leave our puppy for a few days with Judy.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I’ve spent over 3 years working in a veterinary clinic, where I’ve supported pets with all kinds of personalities, medical needs and routines. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, and animals who may be nervous or need a little extra patience. My background also means I can safely give medication, monitor for illness, and provide extra support when needed. What matters most to me is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I take the time to follow their routine and get to know them. I will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine, and we’re available most of the time. We genuinely enjoy being around animals, so your pet will always have company, attention, and care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left unattended, and we make their safety, comfort, and happiness our top priority so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We always like to do a meet-and-greet first to make sure your pet feels relaxed and comfortable with us before any booking. We provide a calm, quiet home environment with no other pets, so your pet will receive our full attention. We’re also located near the Ottawa River, with access to large green spaces that are perfect for safe, enjoyable walks. Whether in our home or yours, we focus on following your pet’s routine closely and creating a stress-free, secure environment where they feel at home.
“Sanjana was great! Super flexible and reliable with scheduling. My cat was well-cared for and happy while I was away. Frequent updates and great communication. Highly recommend!”
“Yujung was nothing short of amazing with our Fillmore! She took in Fillmore on short notice and delivered the utmost care while we were away. I was very pleased with all the updates Yujung gave us over the course of his stay. I strongly recommend Yujung if you’re looking for great quality care and peace of mind when it comes to your pet.”
“Jason and his family were amazing! They were all so pleasant and inviting. I love how they communicated regularly, leaving no doubt or worry while away from your fur-baby. Pictures were sent every second day. They have ample space both inside and out to provide love and care. My Teddy was very happy during his stay. We hope to have Teddy board with Jason and fam again! Thank you Jason and Fam!!!”
“Sylvie was attentive to Daisy’s needs and personality. She took great care of her and sent me regular photos and updates. I’ll definitely call on her again in the future.”
“Shannon and her partner did a great job looking after our large dog. She was open to a meet and greet in advance where she asked lots of questions to understand our dog’s needs and behaviours. During his stay, we received regular updates. It clear our dog was very comfortable in Shannon’s home and we’d happily have her watch our dog again.”
“Sure! Here’s a polished review for Andrea Giselle: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic experience with Andrea Giselle as our dog sitter! From the start, she made us feel completely at ease about leaving our beloved pet, Keke, in her care. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely loving toward him. We especially appreciated the regular updates on his daily activities, which reassured us that he was happy and well cared for. It’s clear that Andrea has a true passion for animals, and we wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Keke again in the future. Highly recommend! Romy & Andre’s Ruiz”
“Gerald took great care of Trey on short notice. 5/5, would definitely recommend considering him for your dog care needs. He showed a great amount of interest in Trey’s wellbeing and ensuring that he was well taken care of. Gerald also provided regular updates during Trey’s stay.”

“Angela stayed at my residence from Saturday March 8 toS" Sunday March 9 to take care of my elderly medicated cat. I am very pleased with the care she provided to my cat. :) Thank you Angela!”
“Joseph and Maria took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She is an indoor-outdoor cat who doesn’t do well with big changes to her routine so having twice-daily drop ins to feed her and let her in and out was ideal. Joseph sent us lovely updates and pictures and took care of her with the love and affection she is used to. I would trust Joseph and Maria with any pet and will definitely be calling on them again! This was my first time using Rover and am really happy with the experience.”
“Rebeca is amazing! My cat is very shy and she was able to develop trust and get her to spend time with her. I could relax knowing that she was my cat sitter. She timed the visits very well due to some wild weather. I will be hiring her every time I go in holiday. Thanks so much for taking good care of Punko.”
About: Les chats font partie de mon parcours de vie depuis l’enfance. J’apprécie particulièrement leur indépendance, leur sensibilité et leurs personnalités uniques. Je respecte leur rythme et leurs limites : présence tranquille, jeux, gratouilles à leur demande, repas, litière propre et médicaments oraux au besoin. Avec moi, votre chat peut simplement être… un chat. 🐾
“Jennifer has been wonderful for our cat Azure. She is very professional, asks the right questions, and is devoted to the wellbeing of Azure. The communication was excellent, and the photos very beautiful. I feel that Azure has a new best friend.”
“Nos 2 chats ont très apprécié les visites de Jayme. Elle est super fiable et fut attentive aux besoins de nos 2 petites boules de poils. Nous recommandons ses services à 100%.”
“Melina was excellent. We hired her to check in on our cat while we were out of town. Melina was very was responsive and professional. I highly recommend her services and would not hesitate to book again.”
“Sydney is the best, she is very caring and kind. I really feel that my baby girl is in good hands, and i can not wait to read her kind words and see the picture after every drop im visit. Im very grateful Sydney for the good care you're providing to my baby.”
About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart. I currently help care for my nine-year-old cat and have spent years around cats with all kinds of personalities. I love that every cat is different, some are playful and curious, some are cuddly and affectionate, while others are a little more independent and take time to warm up. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats, whether that means playing with them, giving them attention, brushing them, or simply sitting nearby and keeping them company. I’m also very comfortable giving cats space when they need it and letting them come to me at their own pace.
“Jude is awesome ! 👏 Il est un excellent communicateur et a été très doux avec notre petit minou. Il nous a offert un très bon service et c’est sûr que nous allons le contacter encore !”
“Katherine stepped in at the last minute when my dad passed away, and we needed someone to care for our cats during our ten-day trip. I cannot recommend her enough. From the start, she was incredibly professional, compassionate, and attentive. She sent us photos twice a day as requested, provided regular updates, and made sure our kitties were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Thanks to her, we were able to travel stress-free. I cannot recommend Katherine enough—she truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her kindness and dedication.”
“Samantha did a really outstanding job taking excellent, daily care of my cat while I was away for almost three weeks. She is a fantastic cat-sitter and I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone who wants their cat to be cared for, played with and taken care of. I really appreciated that Samantha arranged for an initial 'meet and greet' with me and my cat before I departed and it really helped to put me at ease for the entire trip. She was very easy and professional to work with and very flexible arranging dates and times for the visits. Samantha really loves and cares about cats and judging by the many photos Samantha provided in her daily reports, my (usually curmudgeonly) cat really seemed to take a shine to Samantha, undoubtably due to the time and attention she provided my cat with every visit. She was always consistent and thorough with the report cards, and always communicated promptly with any additional questions or issues she encountered during my absence. I really felt that my cat was being cared for by a very safe pair of hands! I'm so relieved and glad that I found Samantha as a cat-sitter and she will absolutely be my go-to person for cat-sitting in the future!”
“Anika took very good care of our two cats! She sent us lots of detailed updates and pictures while we were away. She also left the house super clean. Thank you for caring for our cats while we were away!”
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, especially cats! Love the furry babies to death and want to gain more recent experience. I want to gain more experience with dog walking as well. Full time government worker but I would have time to do weekend and evening drop ins! I am new to rover and I will take it slow but I am confident over the summer, I will build a few solid clients where I get to bond with your pets. I love caring for animals and I understand what each of them need. Mostly comfortable with cats and I also have some dog walking experience I have my own cat who is deaf. I love my child more than anything and I would treat your pets like my own. I believe animals are the best and I find true peace around them.
“Kelsey was wonderful! We were a little worried about leaving our 4 month old kitten for the first time, but after Kelsey's first visit we were able to relax and enjoy our weekend away. Kelsey was very attentive to Mochi's needs, provided us with lots of photos and reassurance, and was easy to communicate with. Kelsey also watered our plant! We'll definitely be reaching out again. Thank you.”

“Bruna is a fantastic caretaker. My pup goes there once a week to socialize and exercise, and comes home a happy, exhausted boy. The pack-walks at the park have made an obvious improvement in his behaviour at the dog park when he's there with us, and he's grown more confident around new dogs. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.”
“Natasha is amazing. Levi felt right at home, she is calm and very observant on Levi. She gave Levi quality care which you can tell in your dog. Levi didn’t cry when I saw me like he normally does. He got his walks in and had a great time. We are so lucky to find Natasha and she’ll be our go to when we’re in town.”
“Sunday loved her time with Kathleen. Kathleen took her on multiple walks, shared multiple photo and video updates, and went out of her way to make Sunday comfortable. I highly recommend her!”
“Lucas is super friendly and he is great with my dog. It is her first experience being away from me after I adopted her so it was very important for me to feel comfortable with him and I do. And so does my dog. She is usually shy around new people but he is so chill, I could see that she liked him and they will bond in no time. We will continue doggie daycare and eventually longer stays with Lucas.”
“Shernaaz and her husband took fantastic care of Pablo, and were so happy to've met him and taken care of him! Communication was a breeze, pick up and drop off were really smooth, and they were very accommodating. I look forward to booking them again in the future.”
“Ella is so amazing and sweet with Odin! Odin is always super excited when he see her. She is so very accommodating and is always ready to take Odin in. He always comes back tired which is a great plus on days where I'm too exhausted after work. Thank you so much!”
“Gerald was great with Cuco!! He was so amazing and my puppy had a great time with him and his doggy sunny! I will definitely book with him again! Best dog sitter ever!!”
“We dropped off Oreo with Winnie and her wonderful family for 2 days while we toured Ottawa and they did a fantastic job! Great and easy communication, Thank you for looking after our fur baby!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Yingshu and Shervin! From the moment we met them, we knew our puppy, Muse, was in caring, capable, and genuinely loving hands. Available on short notice, and they went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked her up, Muse was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well loved. It’s such a gift to find people you can fully trust with your pet, and we are beyond grateful for the incredible care they provided. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitters. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our little Muse!”
“I’m so glad that happy got to spend time with you. Initially I was really nervous about leaving her with pet sitter , but Clara proved it all wrong. She did an amazing job, and you can tell that she really loves to take care of pets. I loved all the pics.I definitely recommend Clara, if you want your fur baby to be taken care of like their own.”
“Grace is my dog’s new best friend! She is a great communicator, flexible on schedules and really truly loves dogs. My dog now freaks out when the carrier comes out as she knows she is going to see her friend Grace. Would highly recommend!”
“We are now regular visitors to Johanne’s place for weekly day boarding. I’ve seen significant improvements in my fur baby’s interactions with other pups in daily interactions and feel very safe leaving him in Johanne’s very experienced care despite our specific needs. Thank you so much - Mars and I are so grateful to have found you!”
“I’ve booked with Clayton multiple times now for Maki and he’s been great every time. He’s flexible with scheduling and it’s clear Maki enjoys her time with him. Would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the compassionate, personalized care I provide—especially for senior dogs and cats with medical needs. I’m experienced in supporting aging pets with mobility issues, medication routines, and gentle, low-impact enrichment to keep them comfortable and engaged. I also understand the sensitivity required to care for sick cats, providing calm, attentive support and close monitoring for any changes in health. Alongside my enrichment-based approach—using games, puzzles, and play tailored to each pet—I maintain open communication with pet parents, offering regular updates and reassurance. I aim to be a calm, trusted presence in your pet’s life and a reliable source of peace of mind for you. As a stay-at-home pet sitter, having my dog Sully as part of my daily routine makes the experience even more enjoyable and natural. Sully keeps me on a regular schedule with morning walks, play sessions, and quiet downtime, which also benefits the visiting pets in my care. His friendly and calm demeanor helps new animals feel at ease, creating a welcoming environment in our home. Throughout the day, I’m able to balance caring for Sully with meeting the needs of other pets, making it a smooth and rewarding routine that feels more like a lifestyle than a job. In my home, I offer dedicated pet sitting services for both dogs and cats, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide a clean and cozy environment with plenty of space to relax and play. Dogs enjoy regular walks, outdoor playtime, and lots of affection, while cats have quiet spaces to explore, rest, and feel at ease in their own dedicated bedroom with a large window. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, fresh water, and any special care routines needed, treating every pet like a member of the family.
“Stephanie was great! She was very thorough ensuring she had all the information about Winston (and his quirks) and he seemed to have a great day! Very kind and quick to respond to messages. Thank you!”
“Judith is such a warm and friendly person, who clearly has a natural ease with and passion for dogs. She took good care of Lenny during our work day. He had a couple of walks and a lot of playtime. We appreciated the photos and updates we received. Thanks Judith!”
“Our pup Molly has been going to Daniel once a week for almost five months. Daniel and his wife are lovely people - very kind and gentle. It has been a valuable help for us during her 'puppy energy' year. Daniel is accommodating regarding dates and times. The best recommendation is that when I say his name Molly perks up - excited to see him. We have booked her in for the week we are away and I have complete trust that she will be a happy pup while we are away.”
“We love Joseph! He’s so great with Ody, my 2 year old Samoyed. I always know he’s in good hands when I leave him with Joseph and Maria. Today they took him on a run and sent regular photo updates. Appreciate these two so much! :) 🐻❄️🤍”

“Highly recommend Mya! She did two one-hour walks with our two separate dogs, and they instantly warmed up to her and felt completely comfortable. Mya has a fantastic personality and is trustworthy. We loved getting the beautiful photos and update card after the walks, and she even brought along treats and water for them. We will definitely be using her services again!”
About: 🌐Bilingue FR/EN | +30 ans d’expérience | ⛑️Premiers soins chiens & chats — Croix-Rouge. Fiable et engagée : lorsque j’accepte une garde, je prends cet engagement au sérieux. 🐾 Animaux de tous âges bienvenus! J’affectionne tout particulièrement les animaux seniors, sensibles ou à mobilité réduite, pour avoir accompagné mes propres compagnons jusque dans leur grand âge. 🦮 De la séance de gratouilles aux promenades et aux jeux actifs, j’adapte mon attention à la personnalité, au rythme et aux habitudes de chacun. Promenades sécuritaires, renforcement positif, beaucoup de « Bon chien! » et gâteries selon vos consignes. 🧹 Les petits oopsies? Ça arrive! Je nettoie, tout simplement. Je suis également à l’aise avec l’administration de médicaments oraux. Bien-être, sécurité et plaisir sont mes priorités. 🌎 J’ai beaucoup voyagé avec ma famille poilue et je connais d’expérience les enjeux de choisir, puis de faire confiance à la personne qui prendra soin de son compagnon, pour quelques heures comme pour un long séjour. 🔐 CONFIANCE : propre, ponctuelle et fiable, en plus je suis certifiée en premiers soins pour humains et je détiens une cote de sécurité de niveau Secret du gouvernement fédéral. Pour votre tranquillité d’esprit lors de longs séjours, je peux également arroser vos plantes et ramasser votre courrier pendant votre absence. 📸 BONUS : excellente photographe! Attendez-vous à recevoir de jolies nouvelles de votre compagnon. 🌿 Dans la vie, je suis artiste-chercheure (PhD) et écrivaine en mouvement et écologie. 🐾 Vous pouvez me confier votre famille poilue! Daytime visits Overnight stays Weekdays, weekends, and statutory holidays Short-term and long-term bookings For stays of 6 nights or longer, I'm happy to travel up to 250 km from Gatineau/Ottawa. Client’s home: I believe pets feel safest when their routines are respected. Before each stay in your home, I take the time to learn your dog's habits, favourite words, feeding schedule, medications, exercise routine, and any special needs. I'm comfortable administering oral medications (pills and oral syringes), checking for and safely removing ticks after walks, wiping muddy or snowy paws, towel-drying after rain or swimming, cleaning food and water bowls, and handling the occasional "oopsie" with patience and good humour. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, mobility, energy, or behaviour and will let you know promptly if anything seems unusual. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing your companion is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Lauryn is amazing! My schedule means I need someone to walk my dog during the middle of the workday. Lauryn is always prompt, communicates clearly, and my dog loves her! She’s been walking her for 2 weeks and I plan to continue with Lauryn as long as possible!”
“Johanne was beyond amazing with my dogs. She was always on time, kept up communication, got some fantastic photos and kept us updated about both our dogs. I was worried at first as one of my dogs is a muscular puller and thought for sure that it would be a challenge but not at all. She handled both dogs perfectly and I am pretty sure she taught them to be bilingual as well. 10/10 she will be my number one choice and the only person I will recommend to others. I can not express how happy we were with our experience. I am not sure if there are awards or 6 star status but If anyone from the Rover teams see this Johanne should be given elite status.”
About: J'ai des chiens et chats dans ma vie depuis ma naissance. J'ai toujours eu une facilité à les comprendre et en prendre soin. J'ai travaillée pendant 5 ans dans une clinique vétérinaire et encore à ce jour, je garde les animaux de mes amies, ma famille, et coupe les griffes de leurs animaux. Je suis moi-même maman d'une golden retriever et d'un chat. I've had dogs and cats in my life since I was born. I have always had an easy time understanding and taking care of them. I worked for 5 years in a veterinary clinic and to this day, I look after the animals of my friends and family, and cut their animals' nails. I, myself, have a golden retriever and a cat Je travaille 4 jours semaine, avec des journées de télétravail. Mon emploi est assez flexible et parcourir de la distance en voiture n'est pas un problème. I work 4 days a week, with teleworking days. My job is quite flexible and driving distance is not a problem. J'ai une grande cour arrière clôturée et ma chienne est très sociable et soumise envers les autres animaux. Elle ne cherche qu'à se faire des amis. Je suis très observatrice vis-à-vis des signaux que les animaux peuvent nous donner et prendrai les mesures nécessaires pour qu'ils se sentent bien.

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 8. I have experience taking care of small dogs (poodle mixes) medium dogs (German Shepherds) and big dogs (Goldendoodle, Bernadoodle). I love to run around and play with dogs and like to engage with them. Currently seeking new employment opportunities so I have tons of time to take care of your pup! And I am happy to come at odd hours and accomodate special requests I have a very loving approach to caring for dogs. I love to play and run around until your dog is out of energy. I am very attentive and your dog is my number one priority.
About: I am the go to dog sitter for all of my extended family, and I have sat for small to large dogs. And I have mostly sat for houses with multiple dogs. I work early mornings Monday to Friday, so I’m free during the normal working day. And full availability most weekends with advanced notice. And I can sit multiple days in a row. I can follow whatever routine you have with your pet. I can follow complex instructions, detailed feeding schedules and I have care for an elderly dog that required diabetes shots daily.
About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them family. Our first dog, Sasha, was adopted four months before I was born and had significant behavioural needs. She was my best friend for thirteen wonderful years, and caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. Since then, my family has had two more dogs, and I’ve gained experience caring for seniors, managing specialized diets, preparing food, and handling unexpected veterinary concerns. Our current dog, Zyler, has canine megaesophagus and requires specialized food preparation and feeding techniques. He’s a lot of work, but he’s also the absolute love of my life! I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and taking the time to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am a full time student. I have 3-5 hours of non-negotiable commitments during the week, but I am a homebody and I can be around constantly outside of synchronous in-person classes. I am free Tuesdays. Saturday’s and Sunday’s without restrictions I care for pets by taking my cues from your animal. Having been a foster volunteer, I am aware of signals and cues and how to respect an animal’s boundaries while caring for their needs. I am the cleanest, most respectful house guest and will leave the place immaculate. I will respect homeowners predefined boundaries while providing as much play and cuddles possible.
About: I have previous experience with all kinds of animals. I’ve worked on farms milking cows, helped train puppies, been a cat mom, and will love your pets the same way you do. I’m currently a student in university which allows for lots of flexibility to include pet care within my schedule. I am an active individual who takes lots of daily walks! Morning, afternoon, and evening walks are typical within my day, so I’d be happy to have a dog come along with me for some extra company and fun. I am diligent in following all rules and guidelines provided by the owners, as I know how important routine is to pets.I prioritize maintaining their usual schedule and environment so that it is as if their owners never left. My top priority is to provide reliable care that keeps your pets happy and stress-free.
“Tori is very knowledgeable and takes wonderful care of our corgi, Brinx! She sends us amazing pictures of him and descriptive Rover Cards after each walk and is very friendly and reliable, which is why we continue to book with her! If you choose Tori, you won't be disappointed :)”
“Insiya took great care of our miniature schnauzer, Bowser! He came back from his walks so happy! She was kind, friendly, punctual and had great communication throughout. Would definitely use her services again! Thanks so much, Insiya!”

“Bruna is amazing! I couldn't ask for anything more. From the very beginning, when I was scheduling Duna’s stay, Bruna made me feel comfortable by addressing my concerns about leaving my dog with someone else for the first time. She assured me that Duna would be in good hands, and indeed she was! I received updates about Duna’s walks, potty breaks, playtime, and sleep, along with pictures—Duna always looked happy, by the way. I will definitely book Duna’s future stays with Bruna; she truly went above and beyond!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I’ve spent over 3 years working in a veterinary clinic, where I’ve supported pets with all kinds of personalities, medical needs and routines. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, and animals who may be nervous or need a little extra patience. My background also means I can safely give medication, monitor for illness, and provide extra support when needed. What matters most to me is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I take the time to follow their routine and get to know them. I will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine, and we’re available most of the time. We genuinely enjoy being around animals, so your pet will always have company, attention, and care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left unattended, and we make their safety, comfort, and happiness our top priority so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We always like to do a meet-and-greet first to make sure your pet feels relaxed and comfortable with us before any booking. We provide a calm, quiet home environment with no other pets, so your pet will receive our full attention. We’re also located near the Ottawa River, with access to large green spaces that are perfect for safe, enjoyable walks. Whether in our home or yours, we focus on following your pet’s routine closely and creating a stress-free, secure environment where they feel at home.
“Yujung was nothing short of amazing with our Fillmore! She took in Fillmore on short notice and delivered the utmost care while we were away. I was very pleased with all the updates Yujung gave us over the course of his stay. I strongly recommend Yujung if you’re looking for great quality care and peace of mind when it comes to your pet.”
“Shannon and her partner did a great job looking after our large dog. She was open to a meet and greet in advance where she asked lots of questions to understand our dog’s needs and behaviours. During his stay, we received regular updates. It clear our dog was very comfortable in Shannon’s home and we’d happily have her watch our dog again.”
“Gerald took great care of Trey on short notice. 5/5, would definitely recommend considering him for your dog care needs. He showed a great amount of interest in Trey’s wellbeing and ensuring that he was well taken care of. Gerald also provided regular updates during Trey’s stay.”
“First time user of Rover and I was very impressed with the professionalism and level of care that my Frankie received. If and when I ever need a dog-sitter again, I will jump at the chance to have Julia take care of my baby.”
“We are very pleased with the care Kristina and her family provided to our senior golden retriever for a week. She shared regular updates through the app, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog has some age-related needs, and Kristina handled everything with patience and genuine care. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Colt had such a great stay with Emily and Alison! They took great care of him, including administering his daily medication. The communication was great, and we loved the pictures. We would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a great dog sitter for peace of mind while away!”
“We had an outstanding experience with Duane and his family. From drop-off to pick-up, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating to our schedule. They provide a warm, welcoming environment that is clearly dedicated to the well-being of the dogs in their care. Throughout Barlee’s stay, Duane communicated with us regularly, providing frequent updates that gave us complete peace of mind. He even went above and beyond by putting together a fun music video! Barlee came home happy and well-rested. We highly recommend Duane for anyone looking for a reliable and deeply caring sitter.”
“Madeleine & Ryan were great! I was very nervous leaving Myla, she'd only ever stayed with family and a friend before. Madeleine gave me lots of updates which eased my mind so I could have a relaxing vacation. Myla was well taken care of and felt the love and safety with them. Thanks for taking such good care of my baby, we will see you in July! :)”
