“Benjamin made us feel at ease leaving our dog behind for a short trip. He sent frequent updates, was easy to communicate with, and flexible. Koya came back to us happy and tired from her play time with other dogs.”
“We could not be more grateful to have Josee take care of our pup for almost two weeks. She went above and beyond, taking her on all kinds of adventures, and sending the most thoughtful updates. It made for a stress free vacation! Highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Miaozi was amazing with our timid and separation anxiety prone puppy! We needed a last minute sitter and got delayed on the way home and she was so welcoming and accommodating. Murphy came back happy and relaxed, like he clearly felt at home. We highly recommend :)”
“My dog Billy stayed with Lucas and Thyara for 5 days in their beautiful home. Lucas and Thyara are very friendly. They were very welcoming to Billy. They are very caring couple, they wanted to know all about him. They sent me pictures every day, I liked that. I can tell he enjoyed his stay. I would give them my highest recommendation. Thank you Luke and Thyara !”
“Qianzhi was great with Eevee! She kept Eevee happy by playing with her and taking her on many walks which included trails. Our favourite thing she did was the constant flow of pictures she sent us, so we always knew what she was doing. Qianzhi was very communicative and was to quick to reply to any and all messages. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“From booking to drop-off to pickup everything was excellent. Christina makes the process so smooth and I can tell she loves animals. I will 100% book Ruby in for another stay!”
“Sheyla and Olivia were awesome with our Bernese. Right away, she adored them. They took her for multiple walks each day and sent updates often. It was clear that our dog was getting more than enough attention with Sheyla and Olivia! I would absolutely re-book them!”
“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.”
“Penny had a great time with Duane, Anna and especially their son. We were provided lots of updates about her walks and playtime. Penny was not used to being around cats and was scared by thunder storms but Duane was understanding of that and patient with Penny. We would definitely be comfortable to have them look after Penny again. Thank you for taking such great care of our Penny!”
“Rosie did a great job looking after our old girl. She showed care and concern for her and Gemma was very comfortable with Rosie. We highly recommend Rosie as a dog sitter.”
About: Depuis l’âge de 4 ans, les chiens font partie intégrante de ma vie. Mon premier compagnon m’a accompagnée jusqu’à mes 18 ans, et depuis, je n’ai jamais vécu sans chien. J’ai côtoyé plusieurs races, du Yorkshire à l’American Staffordshire, et j’ai également eu quatre portées, en plus d’avoir assisté à de nombreuses mises bas. J’ai été famille d’accueil, j’ai fait du sauvetage et j’ai relocalisé des chiens et des chats abandonnés en plein hiver lorsque je vivais à la campagne. L’univers canin est une véritable passion et un mode de vie. Si je pouvais adopter une dizaine de chiens, je le ferais sans hésiter, mais offrir mes services de pension est la meilleure façon de combler mon cœur tout en aidant d’autres familles. Nous vivons sur plus de deux acres de terrain, en pleine campagne et loin des routes principales, ce qui offre un environnement sécuritaire et idéal pour les chiens en pleine nature. Chaque matin commence par une marche de 30 à 45 minutes avec ma meute, suivie d’une période de jeu pour se dégourdir et socialiser. Je m’adapte à chaque animal comme s’il était le mien (rythme, besoins, personnalité, niveau d’énergie). Tous les chiens reçoivent leur dose quotidienne d’amour, d’attention et de stimulation. Mon expérience en reproduction, en socialisation, en sauvetage et en gestion de meute me permet d’offrir un service attentif, sécuritaire et profondément bienveillant. Un vrai foyer temporaire pour vos compagnons! Je suis étudiante à mon propre rythme, ce qui fait que je suis à la maison toute la journée. Notre routine est stable et bien organisée : nous avons quatre enfants une semaine sur deux, ainsi qu’un berger allemand de 1 an et demi, Whiskey, qui adore avoir de la compagnie. Comme je dispose de beaucoup de temps libre, accueillir des chiens s’intègre naturellement à mon quotidien. Whiskey serait ravi d’avoir des amis à quatre pattes, et moi de pouvoir offrir un environnement sécuritaire, stimulant et chaleureux aux chiens du quartier. J’ai remarqué qu’il y a peu d’options de pension dans notre secteur, alors j’ai décidé d’offrir aux propriétaires une solution de proximité. Je souhaite développer mes services selon la demande, car j’ai toujours rêvé de créer une petite pension canine. Rien n’est plus gratifiant que de permettre à des chiens de se dégourdir, de socialiser et de s’amuser pendant que leurs humains sont au travail ou doivent s’absenter pour un week‑end et ont besoin d’une solution de garde fiable et chaleureuse.. Je serai là pour prendre soin de vos compagnons comme s’ils étaient les miens. À la maison, les chiens évoluent dans un environnement spacieux, sécuritaire et pensé pour leur bien‑être. Nous avons plus de deux acres de terrain en pleine campagne, loin des routes principales, ainsi qu’une maison de 1 660 pi² avec deux grands salons. Cela nous permet d’accueillir confortablement des chiens de toutes tailles et de séparer les groupes selon leur énergie, leur personnalité ou leurs besoins, notamment pour les pensionnaires qui restent la nuit. Même si notre cour n’est pas encore clôturée, les chiens ne manquent jamais d’activité physique ni de stimulation. Les sorties se font en laisse, en petits groupes, ou sous forme de jeux encadrés comme le lancer de balle. Chaque chien reçoit sa dose quotidienne d’exercice, de socialisation ou de repos selon son tempérament. Pour les moments plus calmes, un espace intérieur douillet avec musique jazz est disponible pour les amateurs de sieste. Nous sommes déjà en processus de soumission pour clôturer une partie du terrain afin de créer un véritable espace de parc canin directement sur notre propriété. Mon objectif est d’offrir, à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur, des zones adaptées où les chiens peuvent se dépenser, jouer et interagir en toute sécurité, sans être constamment tenus en laisse. J’ai à cœur le bien‑être de chaque pensionnaire. Je m’adapte à chaque chien comme s’il était le mien. Ici, ils reçoivent attention, affection, structure et sécurité — un environnement où ils peuvent vraiment s’épanouir. Aidez‑nous à grandir et encouragez notre petite pension familiale : chaque chien accueilli contribue à faire évoluer notre projet et à créer un lieu encore plus sécuritaire et stimulant!
“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.”
“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!”
“We had such a great experience using Shannon's pet sitting services! This was our first time using Rover — and our dog’s first time ever staying with a sitter — so we were a little nervous about how it would go, especially since our Jack Russell is high-energy and a bit mischievous. Shannon was incredibly kind, patient, and easy to communicate with, and she sent tons of adorable updates that really put us at ease. It was clear our pup felt comfortable and happy in her home. The meet and greet was wonderful as well — she and her husband are so down-to-earth, friendly, and genuinely dog-loving. We’re really grateful for the care they provided and absolutely hope to have her watch our dog again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾 🐶 🌟”
“Eliana takes great care of Floki, he always comes back clean and happy. I regularly receive updates and pictures. I’ll sure rebook her again next time. I totally recommend her for your fur babies 😊”

“Christine was our first catsitter, from Rover, with Mario and Luigi. I felt really good leaving for 5 days, knowing that we had an established schedule and a list of extra info for Christine. She did amazing! I had news/pics daily. I am so pleased with Christine’s care. I especially appreciated the daily entries in a journal left for me 🤩. It was fun to read! Thank you so so much Christine 😻😻”
“Isabelle took amazing care of our cat Layla while we were on vacation. It was nice to have picture updates while we were gone and see Layla was being well-fed and looked after. Isabelle will be the first person we call when we go away in the future :) Merci Isabelle!”
“Nevaeh was great! She took on our request very last minute, and really got us out of a jam caused by another sitter that cancelled on us a day and a half before we were leaving. After meeting her we knew that our cats would be in very good hands. Thank you Nevaeh!”
About: Patient and caring dog walker and dog sitter with 10+ years of experience with various dog breeds (incl. large dogs). Eager to join Rover to take its furry clientele on long stress-relieving walks regardless of weather conditions. My love for animals is far out of this world! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have plenty of free time during the day and evenings. I lost my best friend to cancer two years ago when he was 14, and caring for him taught me just how special the bond with a pet can be. I truly love spending time with animals, whether that means taking them for walks, playing with them, or welcoming them into my home for boarding. I would be happy to make pet care a meaningful part of my routine and give each animal the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I care for pets with patience, attention, and plenty of love. I follow their usual routines, provide fresh food and water, give them exercise and playtime, and keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable.
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs, and caring for my own 12 year old cocker spaniel has taught me so much about responsibility, patience, and compassion. She has digestive issues, so I prepare her meals myself and closely monitor her health: this experience has made me especially attentive to the unique needs each dog might have. I love taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she feels happy and safe. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me with their pets many times, knowing I treat every animal like my own. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m dedicated to providing loving, reliable care every time! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I'm a university student who genuinely loves dogs and would be so happy to spend my free time caring for and hanging out with pups. I also love going on walks, so your dog can count on getting plenty of fresh air and exercise with me:) my apartment is very pet friendly, with a dog wash area and outdoor space for dogs to play. So whether your dog needs a walking buddy, some company, or just lots of love and attention, I'd be happy to make them feel at home❤️ When caring for pets in my client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels comfortable and safe in their own environment. I carefully follow all instructions, from feeding routines to walk schedules and any special needs. I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and health, always keeping a close eye to ensure they’re happy and well.
“We are more then thankful and grateful for Abigail’s pet sitting services. Our Luna was loved and taken care of by Aby. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the week. The house was immaculate when we returned. She even took out the huge pile of garbage we add accumulated through winter. I recommend her services ? %. We will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you Abigail. Luna misses you ? Martine and Adison”
About: I've had a pet ever since I can remember, life's incomplete without one. I have lots of experience with various sizes of dogs, and with cats. I'm comfortable around all animals. I work full time but have full availability in the evenings and weekends. I also wake up early and have time in the morning to spend with pets! I have been around pets my entire life. Their safety in the most important thing to me. Building trust and a connection with your pet will be my priority, so that they feel safe while under my care!

About: Hello! We’re Brad and Siobhain - married couple in La Pêche. We have many years of pet care experience and training. We have a loving German shepherd named Tank at home. Salut ! Nous sommes Brad et Siobhain, un couple marié de La Pêche. Nous avons de nombreuses années d'expérience dans le soin et le dressage d'animaux de compagnie. Nous avons un adorable berger allemand nommé Tank à la maison. Brad works from home, so there is always someone home to take care of your pet. We are always home, which is why pet sitting is a good fit for us - outside of our love for pets :) Brad travaille de la maison, alors il y a toujours quelqu'un pour s'occuper de votre animal. Nous sommes toujours à la maison, c'est pourquoi la garde d'animaux nous convient parfaitement, sans parler de notre amour pour les animaux ! We don’t have a fenced yard but we have secure cable attached on our deck for your pet to stay outside, outside of walk times. Small dogs are allowed on furniture but not big dogs Nous n'avons pas de cour clôturée, mais nous avons installé un câble de sécurité sur notre terrasse pour que votre animal puisse rester dehors en dehors des promenades.
“We’ve been doing weekly doggy daycare with Lucas and Thyara for a couple of months now and so far, we had one overnight stay with more booked already. This morning, my dog was so excited to see Lucas, she ran towards him at full speed. You can see how much she likes him. Lucas and Thyara have a very chill energy and my dog definitely senses that and is super comfortable with them.”
About: My husband (Scott) and I have had dogs (and other animals) our entire lives. Over the years, we have consistently opened our home to rescues, strays, fosters, friend/ family pets, and have even socialized 4 litters of feral kittens for the Humane Society. Scott also has close to 15 years’ worth of experience with the Humane Society as a cruelty investigator. In 2024, we had to say farewell to both our aged cat and dog . We so miss our four-legged companions and are now ready to share our home again by spoiling your furry friends with exercise, cuddles and play time. So, doing so through Rover seemed like a natural fit. We both work from home, giving us the flexibility to pamper, exercise and stimulate your pooch! If our energy wanes at all, rest assured our 9-year-old son is always ready to step in with his endless enthusiasm 😊 Our extensive experience with senior animals, has also provided us with skills in administering medication, attending to spinal injuries, elderly pets, specialized food preparation etc. Having owned a rescue dalmatian, two rescue miniature dachshunds, and a 3-legged hound, we are also very familiar how to accommodate special needs, diets, injuries etc. Most importantly, we have learned that each furry friend has their own unique personality! 😊 A quick note about compatibility: To ensure a safe, calm, and positive environment for everyone—especially our returning clients—dogs staying with us must be non-aggressive toward other dogs. If your dog requires one-on-one care or has challenges with dog interactions, this may still be possible by arrangement, but an additional fee may apply to fairly account for the extra supervision and management required. We’re always happy to discuss your dog’s needs openly to determine the best fit. We can’t wait to meet your fur baby and spoil it like it is our own (and we will send you pictures to prove it)! Melody & Scott We work from home daily and make a point of walking at least once a day, no matter the weather (with or without a four-legged friend). Our house is steps away from the Chelsea rails to trails so we have miles of fun trails to explore together! Our home has multiple water stations, dog beds, and dog toy stations. Play time, brushing and cuddles are the highlight of the day in our home, so we make time for these regularly throughout the day!! We love to play with our furry friends!

“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.”
“Thank you, Natasha, for agreeing to take Luna at the last minute. I really appreciate it — everything went wonderfully. She replied very quickly and sent photos updates as well. Thank you for the excellent service!”
About: I grew up having dogs and cats. I have been dog sitting, walking, boarding and cat sitting for my friends pets. I'm a dedicated and calm animal lover. Pet care is a already part of my daily routine. I care for my cat every day, making sure she’s fed and gets the attention she needs. I’m used to scheduling my time around pets’ routines, whether that means visits, playtime, or medication when needed. I own my home, so visiting pets will be in a calm and safe environment. I make sure they have plenty of attention and never leave them unattended during visits. If a visiting kitty needs their own space, I can provide a quiet, separate room.
“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.”
“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!”
“River had a great stay with Kristina and came home happy and pooped! She loved playing with Kristina's fur-babies and running around in the big backyard. Kristina took great care of her, teaching her some new tricks + checked in regularly with updates and pictures and videos. 10/10! Will book with Kristina again.”
“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!”
“Gilda has been amazing with taking care of my fur baby. I recently adopted a rescue dog and she has needed warmth to be able to come out of her anxious self. Gilda has been able to provide a loving presence during my workdays, and I am grateful for that. I highly recommend her for looking after your pets!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Stephanie was great with my pup. She took him for a walk, played with him and by the end of the visit he was snuggling in her lap. She also took photos throughout the day to help keep me updated which was very appreciated.”
“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!!”

“Nooki et Isabelle ont eu une super ballade. Le premier contact a été excellent. Nooki lui a tout de suite fait confiance et semble s’être bien amusé. Isabelle est douce et montre de l’assurance avec les chiens. Elle a su bien s’occuper d’elle parfaitement. J’ai reçu des photos et des vidéos de leur ballade, ce qui était très rassurant pour une première fois. Merci beaucoup! Et a très vite.”
“Kayla is wonderful with our 7 month Rottweiler. She was proactive about teaching street manners without us asking and our puppy always came home happy and fulfilled. Very good communication and reliable. We can tell she really cares and is educated on dogs.”

About: Experienced in Veterinary Medicine for 8 years. I've been working with dogs my whole life. Dog walking since 11 years old. Working along professional dog trainers in boarding facilities was a huge plus to help me guild dogs safely around our neighborhoods and parks. I have experience grooming (please contact if you wish to book your dog a groom while they are with me) as well as emergency veterinary care for the past 7 years. My job working in the veterinary hospital is a blessing to be surrounded by animals every second of every day. I am looking to fit some walking into my lunch breaks or night walks in the Ottawa/Gatineau areas. I'm free all day from Friday-Sunday for Pet sitting or dog walks any time of the day. Caring for animals on a daily basis keep me alert and on my toes on what pets are doing all the time. I keep a close eye and make sure they are well and happy.
About: I have taken care of my cat for 10 years. His name is Miles and he the most lovable cat you you will ever meet. I love animals and animals should always be treated with love, care and respect. I have taken care of different type of dogs throughout my life, small to really big dogs. Animals are just like us in a way, all they need is love and attention. Cats and dogs are our babies and its it's importmant to always have a structure in they're everyday life. . When i have other Dogs or Cats I make sure to set timers so they are able to go for walks, use the bathroom, have nap time, play time and always making sure that they are eating food in a timely manner and also food that is good for the them. I live in an Condo where they can have access to the balcony to get fresh air and sun but it is fence so no animals can go over. I also have a cat and he's super very friendly and loves to cuddle. I always take time to play with animals. its very important to give them as much attention as possible. I also play dog or cat shows. Believe it or not some animals love it. I currently work at home so it works perfectly when watching any animals. Also easy for when the owners would want an update on their love ones. I love to play with animals. They are part of us and its important to show affection and love to them. It's important to know your animals and treat them with respect as well as follow how the owners care for them and imply that as well. Making them feel comfortable is important.
About: I’ve been watching dogs for 7 years now. I love all types of dogs. But the first dog I ever got close to was a pitbull. He was the first over night dog sit/house sit. I ever did, the couple would travel often due to work. So I would dog sit about 2/3 times a week. I did that for about two years and gained a lot of experience with dogs due to that job. I also find dog walking a great way to stay healthy and active with out it feeling like a work out. I’ve enjoyed dogging sitting ever since I started and don’t plan to stop. So for now that I can’t get a dog of my own. I’ll just watch yours ! Just send me a message and ill send you my number so we can set up a meeting. Price is negotiable. I’m currently a full time student online so I’m looking to make cash while staying active and happy and what a better way than to pet sit. I’ve loved animal since I was a little girl so being around them always brings me joy and as you’ll see they take a liking to me as well. Even the pups you think won’t, always end up loving me as well. I live in a very spacious one bedroom apartment with a balcony alone so they always feel free and nice fresh air. There is a courtyard in my building that is dog friendly and three dog parks near my building as well. So they will always have room to run and be themselves. I am a full time online student so I would be spending my whole day with your pups. They would always be in great care with love and attention. I have a nice courtyard in my building that’s pet friendly and they can play and I also have three dog parks in my area. Where they can run around and meet new pups if allowed I am currently an full time online student so I would be with your pup the whole day. If you’d like to hear my specific daily routine let me know 😊 I usually stick to the routine a parent gives me so they can feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me or if I’m staying in their home.
About: I have cared for my family’s dogs for periods ranging from a few days to several months, and I have regularly lived with dogs for long periods of time. Through this experience, I understand that caring for animals requires time, patience, responsibility, and dedication. I truly enjoy helping animals feel safe, calm, and comfortable, and I always try to create a caring environment where they can feel relaxed and secure. I would plan my daily routine to make sure your dog is included throughout the day, with dedicated time for rest, feeding, playtime, and exercise. Your dog would not only be cared for by one person, but welcomed as part of a family environment. I genuinely enjoy the company of animals and feel comfortable understanding their behaviors, needs, and personalities, which helps me provide attentive and caring support. I live in an apartment with balcony, available for pets to move around comfortably. Even large dogs can move freely, and my home is free of fragile objects, so your dog will not feel restricted or stressed while staying with me. I also live near parks and pet-friendly walking areas, which makes it easy to provide regular outdoor exercise and enjoyable walks. I understand the needs and behaviors of animals, and I would adapt my daily routine to the schedule and specific needs of your pet. I am very protective of animals, so your dog would always be safe and carefully supervised with me, especially in open or public spaces. I believe in building trust and discipline through patience, consistency, and positive interaction rather than using force. In general, I connect well with animals and enjoy giving them a sense of safety, comfort, and confidence so they can feel protected and truly enjoy their time with me.

“Benjamin made us feel at ease leaving our dog behind for a short trip. He sent frequent updates, was easy to communicate with, and flexible. Koya came back to us happy and tired from her play time with other dogs.”
“We could not be more grateful to have Josee take care of our pup for almost two weeks. She went above and beyond, taking her on all kinds of adventures, and sending the most thoughtful updates. It made for a stress free vacation! Highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“My dog Billy stayed with Lucas and Thyara for 5 days in their beautiful home. Lucas and Thyara are very friendly. They were very welcoming to Billy. They are very caring couple, they wanted to know all about him. They sent me pictures every day, I liked that. I can tell he enjoyed his stay. I would give them my highest recommendation. Thank you Luke and Thyara !”
“Qianzhi was great with Eevee! She kept Eevee happy by playing with her and taking her on many walks which included trails. Our favourite thing she did was the constant flow of pictures she sent us, so we always knew what she was doing. Qianzhi was very communicative and was to quick to reply to any and all messages. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Sheyla and Olivia were awesome with our Bernese. Right away, she adored them. They took her for multiple walks each day and sent updates often. It was clear that our dog was getting more than enough attention with Sheyla and Olivia! I would absolutely re-book them!”
“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.”
“Penny had a great time with Duane, Anna and especially their son. We were provided lots of updates about her walks and playtime. Penny was not used to being around cats and was scared by thunder storms but Duane was understanding of that and patient with Penny. We would definitely be comfortable to have them look after Penny again. Thank you for taking such great care of our Penny!”
“Rosie did a great job looking after our old girl. She showed care and concern for her and Gemma was very comfortable with Rosie. We highly recommend Rosie as a dog sitter.”
About: Depuis l’âge de 4 ans, les chiens font partie intégrante de ma vie. Mon premier compagnon m’a accompagnée jusqu’à mes 18 ans, et depuis, je n’ai jamais vécu sans chien. J’ai côtoyé plusieurs races, du Yorkshire à l’American Staffordshire, et j’ai également eu quatre portées, en plus d’avoir assisté à de nombreuses mises bas. J’ai été famille d’accueil, j’ai fait du sauvetage et j’ai relocalisé des chiens et des chats abandonnés en plein hiver lorsque je vivais à la campagne. L’univers canin est une véritable passion et un mode de vie. Si je pouvais adopter une dizaine de chiens, je le ferais sans hésiter, mais offrir mes services de pension est la meilleure façon de combler mon cœur tout en aidant d’autres familles. Nous vivons sur plus de deux acres de terrain, en pleine campagne et loin des routes principales, ce qui offre un environnement sécuritaire et idéal pour les chiens en pleine nature. Chaque matin commence par une marche de 30 à 45 minutes avec ma meute, suivie d’une période de jeu pour se dégourdir et socialiser. Je m’adapte à chaque animal comme s’il était le mien (rythme, besoins, personnalité, niveau d’énergie). Tous les chiens reçoivent leur dose quotidienne d’amour, d’attention et de stimulation. Mon expérience en reproduction, en socialisation, en sauvetage et en gestion de meute me permet d’offrir un service attentif, sécuritaire et profondément bienveillant. Un vrai foyer temporaire pour vos compagnons! Je suis étudiante à mon propre rythme, ce qui fait que je suis à la maison toute la journée. Notre routine est stable et bien organisée : nous avons quatre enfants une semaine sur deux, ainsi qu’un berger allemand de 1 an et demi, Whiskey, qui adore avoir de la compagnie. Comme je dispose de beaucoup de temps libre, accueillir des chiens s’intègre naturellement à mon quotidien. Whiskey serait ravi d’avoir des amis à quatre pattes, et moi de pouvoir offrir un environnement sécuritaire, stimulant et chaleureux aux chiens du quartier. J’ai remarqué qu’il y a peu d’options de pension dans notre secteur, alors j’ai décidé d’offrir aux propriétaires une solution de proximité. Je souhaite développer mes services selon la demande, car j’ai toujours rêvé de créer une petite pension canine. Rien n’est plus gratifiant que de permettre à des chiens de se dégourdir, de socialiser et de s’amuser pendant que leurs humains sont au travail ou doivent s’absenter pour un week‑end et ont besoin d’une solution de garde fiable et chaleureuse.. Je serai là pour prendre soin de vos compagnons comme s’ils étaient les miens. À la maison, les chiens évoluent dans un environnement spacieux, sécuritaire et pensé pour leur bien‑être. Nous avons plus de deux acres de terrain en pleine campagne, loin des routes principales, ainsi qu’une maison de 1 660 pi² avec deux grands salons. Cela nous permet d’accueillir confortablement des chiens de toutes tailles et de séparer les groupes selon leur énergie, leur personnalité ou leurs besoins, notamment pour les pensionnaires qui restent la nuit. Même si notre cour n’est pas encore clôturée, les chiens ne manquent jamais d’activité physique ni de stimulation. Les sorties se font en laisse, en petits groupes, ou sous forme de jeux encadrés comme le lancer de balle. Chaque chien reçoit sa dose quotidienne d’exercice, de socialisation ou de repos selon son tempérament. Pour les moments plus calmes, un espace intérieur douillet avec musique jazz est disponible pour les amateurs de sieste. Nous sommes déjà en processus de soumission pour clôturer une partie du terrain afin de créer un véritable espace de parc canin directement sur notre propriété. Mon objectif est d’offrir, à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur, des zones adaptées où les chiens peuvent se dépenser, jouer et interagir en toute sécurité, sans être constamment tenus en laisse. J’ai à cœur le bien‑être de chaque pensionnaire. Je m’adapte à chaque chien comme s’il était le mien. Ici, ils reçoivent attention, affection, structure et sécurité — un environnement où ils peuvent vraiment s’épanouir. Aidez‑nous à grandir et encouragez notre petite pension familiale : chaque chien accueilli contribue à faire évoluer notre projet et à créer un lieu encore plus sécuritaire et stimulant!
“We had such a great experience using Shannon's pet sitting services! This was our first time using Rover — and our dog’s first time ever staying with a sitter — so we were a little nervous about how it would go, especially since our Jack Russell is high-energy and a bit mischievous. Shannon was incredibly kind, patient, and easy to communicate with, and she sent tons of adorable updates that really put us at ease. It was clear our pup felt comfortable and happy in her home. The meet and greet was wonderful as well — she and her husband are so down-to-earth, friendly, and genuinely dog-loving. We’re really grateful for the care they provided and absolutely hope to have her watch our dog again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾 🐶 🌟”
“Kathleen is simply excellent. She is professional, organized and truly enjoys the pups in her care. My dog enjoyed many walks, time in the yard and received lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed. Thanks so much Kathleen!”
“Catherine has provided the usual stellar care that we have become accustom to. The dogs are happy going to stay and they enjoy their interaction with Daisy. Very highly recommended.”
“If Rover offered ten stars, Gerald, Louise, and Sunny would get at least 12. They did a fantastic job of looking after Tula for 10 days. I knew that she was safe, comfortable, and happy, and I loved receiving daily updates as well as photos and videos. I picked up some useful tips and suggestions, and Tula benefited enormously by spending so much time with Sunny, following his example and learning that she could greet human and canine strangers positively. I couldn't have found a better place for her to stay and I'm so very, very grateful. (p.s. Make that 15 stars!)”
