“Jonathan was super helpful in caring for my dog and his separation anxiety during my time away. Typically when I return from a trip, he'll be super clingy and whiny with me, but this time he was okay and acted the same way he did when I come home from work, which showed me he had a great time. Jonathan was also great at sending me pictures and reports while I was away, which kept me from worrying too. If you're reading this Jon, thanks!!”

“We absolutely loved having Tsz take care of Billa! This was our second time using her, and once again, she went above and beyond. She sent us such detailed and frequent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she cared for Billa as if he were her own. She even went the extra mile and bought Billa a toy, which was such a sweet and thoughtful surprise! 🥹 You can truly tell how much she cares about the pets she looks after. We will absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive. Billa clearly had an amazing time!”

“My senior dog, Jovey, stayed with Mae for boarding, for 5 days and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was so attentive to his senior needs—like frequent potty breaks and arthritis care—and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. Mae sent regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. Jovey also enjoyed playing with her sweet Pomeranian, and they got along beautifully. I highly recommend Mae for all your dog-sitting needs—she truly cares for dogs as if they were her own.”

“If you are in the Scarborough area and looking for dog-sitters that will treat your pooch(es) like their own, you must book with Jacky and Yunn. I highly recommend them! They have a lovely and cozy home in Scarborough and took such great care of our Timmie while my family and I were out of the country. Yunn communicated with me at least 5 times a day, sending photos and videos as requested. They were also very accommodating for the drop-off and pick-up time. Jacky and Yunn, thank you so much for taking care of Timmie during our time away. We will book you guys again if there's another opportunity :)”

My senior dog cupcake and puppy Soy had a wonderful stay with David and his partner while we were on vacation! They sent many pictures daily to update us on how they were doing. Both dogs had different needs one being senior and the other being a 5 month old puppy, and David was happy to accommodate their schedule and needs. Thank you!!
We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter, Nooshin! She waw caring, reliable, and attentive to our dog’s needs, making us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that our dog was in good hands and receiving lots of love and attention. Communication was great, and we really appreciated the updates and peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Nooshin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Such an amazing couple! They took wonderful care of Alfie and treated him like their own. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. They’re both so kind, caring, and trustworthy. I couldn’t recommend them enough! We’ll definitely be booking with them again!
Very anxious dog mom here and there is no one else I trust my boy with other than Tom and Bethany. My dog has a had a few medical scares and I felt comfortable and at ease knowing he was with them. They sent me a lot of feedback and videos and I was able to enjoy my time out because of them, knowing my baby was very safe and that he got a lot of love and attention from them. He always comes home happy. Been a repeat customer for years. They’re the best.
I'm so glad to have found Lucy on Rover. Einstein has stayed at a fair amount of different hosts over the years, but Lucy has been the best. You can tell that she thoughtfully pays attention to Einsteins needs and moods. Ive never felt so comfortable leaving him somewhere! I always know hes in good hands, so we will continue to request with Lucy for future stays.
Ken is very nice and patient with Taco, and I can definitely tell that he is a true dog lover. Taco had a great time with him. Ken took Taco to parks and trails, and Taco was very happy spending time with him. I would definitely book with Ken again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter.
Ellie was amazing with Twix! She took such great care of him and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Twix was in good hands. Ellie is reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her take care of Twix again!
With such an athletic, intense, dog with some reactivity issues,It had been years since I had made any sort of plans that had us away for more than a few hours at a time. Maria has done such a fantastic job at easing my partner, and my dogs, separation anxiety. With great communication and lots of great pictures, Maria and her family clearly treated our puppy like their own. When it came to picking up our puppy it was wonderful to have a chat with people that loved our dog enough to pick up on her fun quirks. Freya seemed happy to stay and while we chatted kept walking back in to see them instead of trying to get back to the car and go home. I couldn’t be happier with our choice of sitter!
This was our second time using Ghazaleh for a full week of house boarding, and we couldn't be happier! It gives us total peace of mind knowing our pup is staying in a safe, loving home while we're away. The regular updates and photos were fantastic as always, and our dog came home happy and well-cared for. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable long-term care!"
We couldn’t be happier with the care Nala received. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Punita and her family genuinely loved animals. Throughout our trip, Punita kept us updated with regular messages and treated Nala as if she were part of the family. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog, which gave us complete peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful for the excellent care Nala received and would highly recommend Punita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
