“It was the first time leaving our 2 dogs with anyone other than family. Veronique took the time to chat with me prior to the booking which was very reassuring. They are extremely accommodating. The drop off went well and the dogs adapted quickly. We got updates and the cutest pictures of the dogs looking right at home. We are so happy to have come across Veronique and Dan and will be booking with them again in the future!”
“I immediately knew my dog Copper was in good hands with Jamie! It was our first time leaving our dog with a stranger, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Copper is a relatively anxious and somewhat reactive dog, and Jamie was able to handle her with no issues at all. Copper also needs a daily medication which wasn’t an issue, and I loved getting the regular updates. We will absolutely be using Jamie again!”
“She did an amazing job taking care of my dog. Her own dog was so friendly with my pup, I think it enhanced the care given. I got my pictures too in a timely manner. My dog was very happy and tired”
“This is the second time Melina and her family have watched Scout, they have kept me updated on scout daily with messages and photos. Scout has enjoyed his time when he goes there and feels like part of the family. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“My Millie dog had a great stay with Rachel. Rachel provided a safe, clean, and caring environment, and kept us updated with photos, videos, and messages. Millie looked relaxed and seemed comfortable in her home. It was so nice to see that. We appreciated the updates, and it was nice knowing our dog was well cared for while we were away. Will definitely book with Rachel again.”
“Despite the last minute for booking, Harleigh was there for the call. She and along with her 2 dogs were very kind to Havanese pet, Buddy. She was vere kind and caring. I will definitely ask Harleigh again because of her immediate responsiveness.”
“We had such a great experience with Amberly and her partner! They made it so easy to ask questions, get updates, and share anything Daisy needed. I felt confident she was getting lots of cuddles, enrichment, and attention. Daisy can be quite anxious around dogs so seeing her want to play with Moony was a HUGE win! 🥹 We would absolutely rebook and highly recommend them!”
About: I’ve taken care of big dogs and little dogs for friends and family for many years. I have made sure their pets are walked, fed, bathed and have had tons of love while in my care. I work from home so am able to make sure the dogs in my care get lots of attention through the day and are walked daily as well We have a large unfenced yard perfect for play and also go on long walks daily. My dogs are crated at night so would prefer dogs who are crate trained. We have a loving home with lots of attention and play
“Natalie and Niranga provided great care for my 7 month old lab! He really seemed to enjoy his time with them and their dogs, and I think he missed his new furry friends once we got home! Natalie kept me updated with text and photos which I really enjoyed :)”
“Amber R. was great with my Jake and Lily. She paid special attention to my old man that needs a little extra love and taught Lily how to play fetch and return the ball to you instead f teasing you with it. Her dog Bo was very caring to Jake who is 15 1/2 and became Jake’s personal security as he watched over him as well. When we were getting ready to leave you could tell that both my dogs as well as Bo didn’t want each other to go. We will definitely be using Amber R. again as you know that your fur babies will be treated as part of the family. Thanks again Amber R.”
“Jeanine was wonderful with my Squirt. She sent updates and pictures and I felt that Squirt was very comfortable with her. Thank you so much for keeping me at ease while she was with you Jeanine. Ill definitely be reaching out to you again! .”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rayside-Balfour
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Véronique! Our dog requires extended care due to his paralysis, and she treated him like an absolute prince. He clearly enjoyed his time with her, and knowing he was in such caring and capable hands gave us great peace of mind. Véronique was attentive to every detail and kept us regularly updated throughout his stay. Her thoughtfulness, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend Véronique to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our little prince!
