“Hao was a wonderful dog sitter and took great care of my dog while I was away. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly very kind with animals. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. Communication was smooth and he kept me updated, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Hao to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Rie is absolutely amazing! Prior to my pups boarding stay, Rie made sure that my girl was a good fit by doing a quick meet and greet! I was thrilled to book with Rie and her beautiful pup May. I recieved tons of pictures and updates and while we were away it looked like my pup was having the time of her life! I would definately recommend Rie to anyone, and I know my pup, Zuko, can't wait for the next time we book with Rie! Thank you again Rie for taking such great care of Zuko!”
“David and his family were absolutely amazing. Charlie was treated like family and taken great care of and we appreciate all that they did for him. We got pictures and updates from his stay and he got to make a friend while there which was great. David was super nice and friendly and flexible to work with. We look forward to Charlie’s future stays with them. Highly recommend David. Big thanks for welcoming Charlie into your home and taking such great care of him.”
“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!!”
“Nooshin was such a great sitter! She sent photos and videos of my dog and was very responsive. She’s really kind and I would definitely book with her again. I highly recommend her :)”
“Xinbei is an amazing dog sitter. She made sure our dog received her medication regularly, went for daily walks and played lots of games at home. I would definitely use Xinbei again without hesitation.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for small breed dogs like Frenchie and large breed energy dog like Golden Retrievers. Having managed their different routines, temperaments and physical needs. I understand that every dog requires a tailored approach to feel safe and happy. I also have my own pets since 2000s and it’s always great to be with them and take them outdoors for more activities. My work is currently 95% of time working from home and when winter comes, 100% WFH. I will provide dog walking twice a day(more if needed). Also able to take them outdoors if approved by owners. I have a fenced backyard with lawn available. Activity is adapted to your pets’ energy level. And we also have a fur baby at home for accompany.
About: 🐾 Service available in English & Cantonese (廣東話) Hi! I’m Katrina. I live with my family and our sweet 7 year old Bichon Frise, Tofu. My family and I have spent the past seven years raising Tofu and caring for dogs belonging to our friends and family, and I’d love to welcome your dog into our home too. My mom is home full-time, so your dog will have lots of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. We live in a quiet neighbourhood with a large, fully fenced backyard, and we only host one family’s dog(s) at a time to provide a calm, personalized experience. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your dog happiest and most comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, and my mom is home full-time, so there’s almost always someone home to keep your dog company. We are also home on weekends. We’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and, most importantly, stick to the routine they’re used to. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We will ensure your dog’s regular routine is followed to make them comfortable away from home. Our home is clean, dog-friendly, and designed with your pup in mind. We have plenty of toys, cozy places to rest, and baby gates available if a dog needs their own space. We live in a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. Our home is shared with our 7-year-old Bichon Frise, Tofu, and because we don’t have young children and only host one family’s dog(s) at a time, we provide a calm, low-stress environment. You’ll also receive regular photo updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
“We had a wonderful experience with Eddie! He was incredibly caring, reliable, and attentive to every detail. We received regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Our pet Luna was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. We would absolutely recommend his services and will definitely book again in the future!”
“Yu-Chi is a kind soul. She cared for our dog like it was her own. I totally recommend her. Leaving a dog is like leaving your children, you need to ensure they are in good hands. We were able to enjoy our vacation thanks to Yu-Chi!”
“It was great, Sherlock and Amora loved their stay at Ilana & Lambros' house. I received daily updates with photos. Next time I travel again, I will definitely leave my dogs with them.”
“Li was an amazing dog sitter for our Teddy! She always responded very quickly to messages and communicated very clearly. She took care of our dog so well bringing him out on multiple walks and activities daily and updated frequently with pictures. Her house is very clean and dog friendly. I could tell she cared for him like he was her own dog. Definitely recommend using her! We will be using her again if we go on another trip.”
“We felt completely leaving NOA in your care. During her stay, you sent us photos to keep us updated on how she was doing. The number of updates was just right, not too many and not too few, which we really appreciated. I think she had a great time playing with Sienna, who is about the same size as her. She must have had a lot of fun, because last night she was snoring while she slept! 😆😆 We would like to use your services again in the future.Thank you again for taking such good care of NOA, and we look forward to seeing you again!”
“Galina was so wonderful and took amazing care of Casper! She sent us detailed updates and photos, and we could rest easy knowing that our baby was in such good hands all weekend. I would absolutely recommend Galina for anyone looking for a sitter, and will certainly trust Casper with her again ?”
“Jacky & Yunn were highly recommended to us by my sister, and they absolutely lived up to the praise! They took fantastic care of my pup, Ebi, for the weekend. Since this was Ebi’s first boarding experience and she’s an anxious dog, I was nervous about how she would do, but she looked so comfortable and settled with them! Jacky & Yunn kept us updated with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Their care and attentiveness made the entire experience stress-free. Thank you for making Ebi’s first boarding experience such a success!”
“I highly recommend Erica's service! She has checked in with us every day, sent pictures of Lily, and given all the details of what was Lily's day like. Lily came back home happy and at ease, which confirmes that her stay with Erica was a true vacation :) We also got a beautiful handmade gift from Erica, such a nice gesture we did not expect!”
“Yue did a wonderful job with our puppy. It was our first time leaving her and she did so much to re -assure us our puppy was in good hands. She sent us updates and pictures and was so loving and kind. Thanks so much Yue. We will definitely be booking with Yue on our next trip away.”
“Caroline is the best! Our dog absolutely loved spending time with her and was honestly a little sad to leave her care. From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, attentive, and experienced she is. She took the time to understand his personality, routines, and specific needs, and adapted to his schedule so he felt comfortable and at home. One thing we especially appreciated was the frequent updates, photos, and messages while we were away on vacation. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. Caroline truly went above and beyond to make sure both we and our dog felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would most definitely recommend Caroline to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pet.”

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.

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 .
