“We had an excellent experience with Melody and Scott. The care and communication were outstanding from start to finish. Our Jersey Girl absolutely loved her time there — especially all the walks and outdoor adventures. It truly felt like she was treated as part of the family. She got lots of cuddles, attention, and time with everyone, and it was clear she was happy and comfortable the whole time. We also really appreciated the updates and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend!”
“Bruna was excellent with our pup Mickey. He had loads of fun and came back completely tired out. Slept through the car ride and is sleeping in this morning 😂. I would highly recommend Bruna - and would love to leave Mickey with her again!”
“Josee is an **amazing** dog sitter! She connected with our energetic Boston Terrier in minutes and kept him busy and entertained while we were away. She is kind, organized and has the 'magic touch ' with animals! Highly recommend! Merci beaucoup Josee!!!”
“We left our sweet Janna with Ben for 12 days — the longest we’ve ever been away from her, and the first time she stayed with someone outside of our family. From the moment we dropped her off, Ben made the entire experience incredibly comforting and stress-free. He went above and beyond every single day. Janna was walked regularly, kept active, and absolutely showered with affection. Ben sent us frequent updates and photos, which truly put us at ease and made us feel connected to her even while we were away. When we picked her up, it was obvious how well-loved, healthy, and emotionally balanced she was. She was relaxed, happy, and completely at home — you could tell she had been spoiled in all the best ways. Honestly, when she hears Ben’s name now, she perks right up… I think she may have adopted him as her second favourite human! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ben has officially become Janna’s “home away from home,” and he will be our first choice every time we travel. Highly, highly recommended — 10/10 experience. ❤️🐾”
“Akanksha and her husband were wonderful care providers for our Yorkie, Mika. They sent us daily updates and reached out promptly with any questions. It’s clear that she and her husband have a love of animals and are committed to providing excellent care. I 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 excellent! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her while I was on vacation for 10 days. She answered right away and sent lots of pictures and videos every day. My dog got a long well with her cat and the other dogs staying with her. I’d definitely recommend Qianzhi and will rebook again for future vacations”
“Nos deux chiens sont restés chez Pénélope et Maxime. La communication a été excellente du début à la fin. Ils nous tenaient au courant régulièrement et nous envoyaient des photos, ce qui nous a beaucoup rassurés et fait plaisir. Nos chiens ont adoré leur séjour. Nous n’hésiterons pas à réserver avec eux à nouveau dans le futur!”
“Cristina is an excepcional doggy sitter! She is truly the best❤️ she is very loving and attentive. My fur baby was in great hands. It’s hard to trust someone you just met with your family member but during the meet and greet we just knew she was the one and we were right! Thank you for taking wonderful care of cooper! We recommend her to everyone!”
“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.”
“Nous avons que d’excellents mots pour qualifier le séjour de plus d’une semaine de notre Frimousse (berger anglais, 1.5 ans, 30kg) chez Carolina et sa famille. Dès les premier instants de notre première rencontre avec Carolina et sa famille, nous étions en confiance que Frimousse allait passer un agréable séjour en sa compagnie. Frimousse est de nature très enjouée, actif et sociable. Carolina a très bien su s’adapter aux besoins de notre chien. Elle nous a tenu au courant (photos et videos) tout au long de ce séjour des activités de Frimousse. Nous sommes très heureux d’avoir fait la connaissance de Carolina et sa famille, d’avoir apprécié l'excellente qualité de ses services de gardiennage et n’hésiterons pas de faire appel à ses services dans le futur ainsi que d’en faire une excellente recommandation”
“Sylvie est douce, gentille et très attentionnée avec les animaux. Elle leur donne de l’affection, les fait jouer et s’assure que tous les besoins sont comblés. Excellente communication. On peut partir avec l’esprit tranquille. Son conjoint est également très gentil et ma chienne adorait aller s’asseoir avec lui.”
“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.”
“Winnie is awesome , she kept sending us pictures of my dog and giving us daily feedback and my puppy loved being there , I think he still wants to go back lol , we will definitely be calling Winnie again , my puppy had a great time and was very cared for 😊”
“Clara provided tons of updates and pictures for the duration of my doggies stay. Very accommodating when as I was running g late for the pickup. Will definitely be back.”
“Micheal and family are very welcoming, friendly people who genuinely love dogs and know how to care for them. We had no concerns about leaving our pet with them for her first visit and she clearly settled in well and enjoyed her stay. We will definitely use their service again in the future. We give them a rating of 5 stars without any hesitation. John.”
“We are so grateful for Justyne. Cleo loves going to her place and Justyne is so great with her. She has a lovely home and she is so kind. She provides nice updates too.”

“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!”
“We have three senior cats with special needs, and we were very worried to leave them alone for a few days. Jean‑François completely put our mind at ease and truly stole our hearts with the exceptional care he provided. Every day, he sent detailed updates about how our cats were doing, complete with notes about their meals, medications, playtime, litter cleaning, and all the affection he showered them with. I cannot recommend Jean‑François enough to care for your furry family members. Finding someone so trustworthy, attentive, and reliable has been such a gift. Thank you Jean‑François, on behalf of Mitaine, Kyra, and Hubert :)”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Olivia care for my cat Nala, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and took the time to understand Nala’s needs and personality. During my time away, Olivia provided regular updates, including photos, which put my mind at ease. When I returned, Nala was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional cat sitter!”
About: Dogs have completely stolen my heart for as long as I can remember and caring for them is truly my happy place. I grew up in a loving home surrounded by dogs since the day I was born, always with two large breeds in the house at once. As an adult I have raised two sweet bully breeds of my own, one of them being a rescue. Along with that lifelong experience, I spent several years working at a busy dog daycare where I professionally cared for dogs of every age, size, and temperament. I’m skilled in positive reinforcement training, teaching new tricks, managing group play, and creating safe, calm environments tailored to each dog’s needs. I am also certified in dog CPR and first aid. This background gives me the confidence to care for pups at every stage of life! From energetic puppies full of zoomies to senior dogs who need extra patience, gentle care, and understanding. I bring both heart and real knowledge to every visit so your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work from home Monday - Friday, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family, with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and cuddles. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to monitor their needs closely, notice any changes in behavior, and give them attention whenever they need it. I structure my day to include interactive play, calm cuddle time, and short walks to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and stimulated. Your pet will always have a safe, loving environment where they feel cared for and part of the household! I offer care both in my home and in your home, depending on what you and your dog are most comfortable with. No matter where they stay, every dog is treated with the same love, attention, and care. I understand that every dog and every situation is different, which is why I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I provide supervision, affection, playtime, and structure to create a happy and secure environment for every dog in my care.
“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: What sets me apart from other cat sitters is the level of care, attention, and dedication I bring to every feline I look after. I have hands-on experience with cats that require specialized care, including my mom’s cat, whom I cared for after eye surgery—administering medications, monitoring recovery, and ensuring a calm environment for healing. I’m meticulous when it comes to hygiene and comfort, and I actually enjoy deep-cleaning cat areas, litter boxes, and accessories to keep everything fresh and safe for the cats in my care. Over a six-month period, I successfully took care of a friend’s six cats, balancing different personalities and needs while maintaining a happy and healthy environment. On top of that, I have two hairless cats of my own, which means I’m well-versed in the extra attention and maintenance they require, such as regular bathing, skincare, and temperature regulation. My experience with both everyday care and special needs makes me a reliable, attentive, and exceptionally thorough cat sitter.

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 was amazing taking care of Zaya. It was a longer than normal day but she ensured Zaya had lots of fun, play time with toys and furfriends and Perrogie, and they walked a lot which made the doggy pretty happy!! She also sent lots of updates and pics during the day and I was confident Zaya couldn't be in a better place. Bruna is also very caring, flexible and communicative. I would definitely recommend her and I'm sure Zaya is already missing her so we can't wait to book it again! Thank you so much Bruna!! ❤️”
“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.”
“Lucas and Thyara are great sitters! They were very attentive and I got frequent updates. Oreo enjoyed their beautiful home and playing in their yard. I definitely recommend them!”
“Brigitte was so amazing with my little Toffee! She took him a little last minute as I couldn't get my regular sitter and just gave him the best day a little doggie could ask for with all the cuddles. Thank you so much!!”
“We used Olivia multiple times during our annual vacation in Ottawa and every time she kept us in the loop and our boys were returned happy and relaxed, which is great. Overnight stays were equally relaxed despite us worrying about the boys! She fully informed us of all aspects of their visits even asking if they could have some human food as we are vegans, of course they could and they had a great time. A+”
“Lydia est très attentionné avec mes chiens et est en communication avec moi tout au long de la journée lorsqu'il y a un besoin. Après seulement deux visites, mes deux chiens étaient content de retourner la voir pour une autre journée, donc ça en dit beaucoup sur l'accueil et le plaisir qu'ils ont chez Lydia.”
About: I’m an experienced, caring and safety conscious dog minder and have lived with and taken care of dogs most of my life. I worked closely with my own dog’s breeder through her 3 litters - her last litter I was the solo midwife. Mia has graduated out of the breeding program and we now look forward to hosting pup friends through Rover. I’m a keen observer of dog behaviours and my family gets a lot of joy in providing a happy, safe and caring home environment for new friends. I work from home 100% so your dog will have lots of company, play time and several walks geared to their energy level. I’ve taken care of many older dogs and special needs pups and am happy to administer medications per your instructions. We live near trails and parks and have a small backyard that backs onto the woods - so lots of squirrels to watch and outing options to suit energy levels. Whether for a day or a few weeks we look forward to getting to know your little one and making them feel part of the family. I take pups out for morning, lunchtime and evening walks, all on leash. In between I sometimes work away at my desk with a little one on my lap or nearby on a dog ‘couch’. For short errands it’ll monitor my ring camera to make sure your pup is happy at home with my Labradoodle, Mia. Your dog will be part of the family. I’m careful to not let dogs off-leash unless we're within a fenced-in yard. Your dog will get at least 3 walks a day for 10-45 minutes, depending on their stamina. I monitor mealtimes to ensure peaceful eating. Please let me know how they are when left with a buddy for short periods.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, both in my family and through regularly caring for and walking them. I also volunteered at several animal shelters over the years, where I helped care for abandoned dogs — walking them, assisting with basic care, and supporting their rehabilitation. This experience taught me how to adapt to dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those who need extra patience and reassurance. I pay close attention to their behavior to respect their pace, energy level, and individual needs. To me, dogs are family members, and I always strive to provide a safe, stable, and caring environment while carefully following each owner’s instructions. J’ai toujours grandi entourée de chiens, que ce soit dans ma famille ou à travers des gardes et promenades régulières. J’ai également effectué plusieurs années de volontariat en refuge, où je m’occupais de chiens abandonnés : promenades, soins de base et accompagnement vers leur réadaptation. Cette expérience m’a appris à m’adapter à des chiens de tailles et de tempéraments très variés, y compris ceux ayant besoin de patience et de douceur. Je suis attentive à leur comportement afin de respecter leur rythme, leur énergie et leurs besoins spécifiques. Pour moi, un chien est un membre de la famille, et je veille toujours à offrir un environnement sécurisant, stable et bienveillant, en respectant attentivement les consignes des propriétaires. I work 100% remotely, which allows me to be home full-time and give plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week and on weekends. Pets are never left alone for long periods and benefit from consistent supervision, regular walks, and attention tailored to their needs. Je travaille à 100 % en télétravail, ce qui me permet d’être présente toute la journée et d’accorder beaucoup d’attention aux animaux dont je m’occupe. Je suis flexible et disponible, que ce soit en semaine ou le week-end. Les animaux ne sont donc jamais laissés seuls pendant de longues périodes et bénéficient d’une présence constante, de promenades régulières et de moments d’attention adaptés à leurs besoins. I live in a quiet and bright one-bedroom apartment with a secure balcony. I do not have any pets or children, which ensures a calm and stress-free environment where your pet can feel safe and at home. I always maintain a clean, organized, and secure living space. J’habite dans un appartement 3½ calme et lumineux, avec un balcon sécurisé. Je n’ai ni animaux ni enfants, ce qui garantit un environnement paisible et sans stress, idéal pour que votre compagnon se sente en sécurité et comme à la maison. Je veille toujours à maintenir un espace propre, organisé et sécuritaire.
“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.”
About: As an animal lover, I have significant experience with cats and dogs. My father is a veterinarian, so I have also gained extensive experience working with pets with special needs/accommodations. I have also fostered both cats and dogs for multiple rescue agencies. I can’t wait to discuss how I can support you and your pet! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time and attention available for your pet. When your pet is in my care, they will be the #1 priority. I have a safe apartment and a cute, patient kitty to keep your fur baby company. I am also an avid walker, so I look forward to walking frequently with your dog. As well, I am comfortable with crating your pet, and following any other routines.
“Cachell was amazing with Lucca, she was flexible with drop off/pick up and he came back to me happy & ready to sleep! Will definitely be reaching back out to her in the future!”
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.
“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!”
“Chloe had a great time with Johanne! They went for plenty of walks and she always had some friends to play with. Johanne is super sweet and friendly and a great sitter!”
About: I have taken care of my precious Maggie for the past 15 years, before she crossed the rainbow bridge <3 Dog sitting is such a great way to meet other dog souls and I am so ready to give some love and take care of a pet. I absolutely love dogs and their sweet presence. I enjoy going on walks in the forest nearby (various Gatineau Park trails), play with them, take care of them and relax with them (on our sunny deck outside, in a hamac, on our couch). I am comfortable with teaching baisc skills to dogs or maintaning their skills. I use positive reinforcement and yummy treatos. I can also take care of dogs with a lot of fur as my Maggie was a Sheltie. We can also bring the dog to our favorite gentle groomer for nail trims. My partner will also help when he is home, and he loves dogs just as much as I do! He is really good at teaching various commands to dogs, he is extremely patient and he also loves to play with dogs. Together, we make a good team! And we can play in the yard, trails or dog park with your puppy :) . I am currently a full time student, and occasional yoga teacher. Simon works from Monday to Thursday on a flexible schedule. We are home some afternoons/mornings depending on our schedule, and every evening. We can take the dog outside for walks mornings and evening, and sometimes at noon. Or we can let the dog chill outside in our backyard to enjoy the smells and the sun, provided the pup is comfortable on a long leash. The yard is 90% private and fenced, there is just a unfenced gap on the side that looks into our parking lot or is covered by cedars. We are home on weekends and can provide lots of activities and care for your puppy from Friday to Sunday. We try to coordinate our schedule to spend as much time as possible providing care for the pet we sit :) We can provide potty breaks from 4-8 hours. I have a big private yard that is partially fenced, but we have a long leash so the dog can roam around. If you have a long leash too, please bring it! There is a big garden in our yard not accessible to the dogs. There are lots of squirrel and birds around our backyard. We live near the Gatineau Park, so lots of possibilities for walks and runs on a leash in the woods. We also have a spacious home where the dogs can play around, we have some dog pillows, and a small & big crate if necessary. We have a closed shower if the dogs need a little cleanup. If necessary, we also have a barrier/baby gate. There are no cats nor kids in the house, no one smokes and our neighborhood is quiet and calm. We do have plants in the house. We can also bring the dogs to dog parks nearby by foot or by car. We can drive around to other trails where the dogs could walk off-leash, play in water or play fetch. Our neighbourhood is calm, we live at the end of a cul-de-sac. Almost no cars drive by, but we occasionally see walkers and dogs on our street.
“Clayton was great with our pup, Mickey. Mick came back to us happy as ever and quite tired, sleeping all the way home. We’d be happy to have Clayton care for Mickey any time!”
“Erin is the greatest dog sitter ever - my dog absolutely loves going over to her place and when he gets home he is so tired from all the fun he has. I Highly recommend Erin!”
“Leo seemed to have so much fun with Akanksha throughout the day. She sent a lot of photos and videos which I loved! Leo came back tired after all the fun playtime he had and slept instantly. Would recommend her and will definitely use the service again. Thank you 😊”

“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.”

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.

“We had an excellent experience with Melody and Scott. The care and communication were outstanding from start to finish. Our Jersey Girl absolutely loved her time there — especially all the walks and outdoor adventures. It truly felt like she was treated as part of the family. She got lots of cuddles, attention, and time with everyone, and it was clear she was happy and comfortable the whole time. We also really appreciated the updates and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend!”
“Bruna was excellent with our pup Mickey. He had loads of fun and came back completely tired out. Slept through the car ride and is sleeping in this morning 😂. I would highly recommend Bruna - and would love to leave Mickey with her again!”
“Josee is an **amazing** dog sitter! She connected with our energetic Boston Terrier in minutes and kept him busy and entertained while we were away. She is kind, organized and has the 'magic touch ' with animals! Highly recommend! Merci beaucoup Josee!!!”
“We left our sweet Janna with Ben for 12 days — the longest we’ve ever been away from her, and the first time she stayed with someone outside of our family. From the moment we dropped her off, Ben made the entire experience incredibly comforting and stress-free. He went above and beyond every single day. Janna was walked regularly, kept active, and absolutely showered with affection. Ben sent us frequent updates and photos, which truly put us at ease and made us feel connected to her even while we were away. When we picked her up, it was obvious how well-loved, healthy, and emotionally balanced she was. She was relaxed, happy, and completely at home — you could tell she had been spoiled in all the best ways. Honestly, when she hears Ben’s name now, she perks right up… I think she may have adopted him as her second favourite human! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ben has officially become Janna’s “home away from home,” and he will be our first choice every time we travel. Highly, highly recommended — 10/10 experience. ❤️🐾”
“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 excellent! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her while I was on vacation for 10 days. She answered right away and sent lots of pictures and videos every day. My dog got a long well with her cat and the other dogs staying with her. I’d definitely recommend Qianzhi and will rebook again for future vacations”
“Nos deux chiens sont restés chez Pénélope et Maxime. La communication a été excellente du début à la fin. Ils nous tenaient au courant régulièrement et nous envoyaient des photos, ce qui nous a beaucoup rassurés et fait plaisir. Nos chiens ont adoré leur séjour. Nous n’hésiterons pas à réserver avec eux à nouveau dans le futur!”
“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.”
“Nous avons que d’excellents mots pour qualifier le séjour de plus d’une semaine de notre Frimousse (berger anglais, 1.5 ans, 30kg) chez Carolina et sa famille. Dès les premier instants de notre première rencontre avec Carolina et sa famille, nous étions en confiance que Frimousse allait passer un agréable séjour en sa compagnie. Frimousse est de nature très enjouée, actif et sociable. Carolina a très bien su s’adapter aux besoins de notre chien. Elle nous a tenu au courant (photos et videos) tout au long de ce séjour des activités de Frimousse. Nous sommes très heureux d’avoir fait la connaissance de Carolina et sa famille, d’avoir apprécié l'excellente qualité de ses services de gardiennage et n’hésiterons pas de faire appel à ses services dans le futur ainsi que d’en faire une excellente recommandation”
“Clara provided tons of updates and pictures for the duration of my doggies stay. Very accommodating when as I was running g late for the pickup. Will definitely be back.”
“Micheal and family are very welcoming, friendly people who genuinely love dogs and know how to care for them. We had no concerns about leaving our pet with them for her first visit and she clearly settled in well and enjoyed her stay. We will definitely use their service again in the future. We give them a rating of 5 stars without any hesitation. John.”
“We are so grateful for Justyne. Cleo loves going to her place and Justyne is so great with her. She has a lovely home and she is so kind. She provides nice updates too.”
“Leo and I had a great experience with Duane and Anna; he came home happy and exhausted! They have a big fenced backyard with lots of dog-friendly toys and structures. I also used Anna's grooming service and it was great! Highly recommend!”
“Kailyn was wonderful with Ghost. He was so happy when we picked him off. She sent lots of photos and updates, and had questions at the meet and greet for how best to make Ghost comfortable. We will be definitely booking with Kailyn in the future!”
“This was our second time having Charlotte board with Ryan and it gave us so much comfort knowing she was well cared for while we were away. He will always be our first pick whenever we need dog sitting! Charlotte was so visibly happy around his place!”
“I am very happy that I came across Melanie's profile and selected her to keep Hatchi for the weekend. Starting with the meet and greet, Melanie and Molly were very welcoming. This had to be the longest time I had to leave Hatchi with a sitter, with me being outside the country. Melanie made it seamless. I was greeted each morning with pictures and videos of Hatchi, that made me feel good 👍. I would recommend Melanie any time.”
“It fills my heart with joy knowing Milo is being cared for by a loving family, making him feel welcome. I’m especially grateful when they send me photographs during his stay, it really provides me with some comfort. Thank you, Emily and Alison & family. ❤️”
“Misty est très heureuse d’aller chez Frederick. C’est une deuxième maison pour elle. Merci Frederick d’avoir pris soin d’elle durant nos vacances. Nous sommes partis l’esprit en paix tout en sachant que Misty aurait également beaucoup de plaisir.”
