“Robyn took great care of our dogs and made them feel like part of the family. They instantly felt comfortable at drop off and were calm and happy at pickup. Also thankyou to Chris.”
“Thank you Diane for the wonderful care and cuddles you gave to our dog Ruben. He definitely loved being with you if he was sitting on your lap! We appreciate you welcoming him into your home while we were away.”
“I am so grateful for the wonderful care they provided for my dog, Pancho. He was treated with such kindness and affection, and it was clear that he felt right at home when we went to meet them as well as when he was picked up after our trip. The whole family was so incredibly caring and attentive, ensuring that Pancho was well taken care of with plenty of treats and walks. The pictures we received from Andrea gave us lots of reassurance that he was in great hands. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a loving place for their pets. Again, Thank you so much! :))”
“"We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received while we were away. From the updates and photos we received, it was clear that our dog was having a great time and felt comfortable during the entire stay. It gave us peace of mind knowing our furry family member was in such good hands. We will definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog boarding.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of my energetic labdradoodle! Nicole has a perfect set up for watching several dogs. She clearly loves animals and is extremely trustworthy. I appreciated the pictures and updates to see how well my dog settled into her home. Thanks so much!!!”
“This was the first time I ever left my pup with someone else. I'm glad I found the Rover app and Colton made my leaving easy. From the very beginning he was a great communicator, responded quickly to my request which was important as it was a last minute travel plan. He took great care of Yoda and I cannot thank him enough.”
“Our 13 years old Miniature Schnauzer stayed with Heather for 6 nights. The communication was excellent, we received numerous great pictures of our pup for the full duration of the stay. Our dog requires constant medication and a sensitive diet and she was great for all of it, we would highly recommend boarding with Heather. We booked another date on the same day we picked him up.”
“Jill was amazing. She took such good care of our two dogs. Lots of walks and lots of playtime. Jill sent a lot of updates and photos throughout the stay. Dogs were cared for as if they were her own. I would definitely recommend Jill for future stays.”
“As usual we are thrilled to have found Shona! Our dog loves going to see her, and have so so much playtime with the other pups she’s got! We always get updates on him and pictures, he’s always out walking with them and lots of yard time! The best part is when he comes home he acts happy but not “omg I haven’t been loved in days” happy. He doesn’t come home stressed like at traditional kennels! He’s very well loved there and we can tell!”
“Communication with Katelyn was excellent. She was also very accommodating of the changes we had to make. We will definitely love to leave our pups with Katelyn again.”
“Renee is amazing. After not boarding our senior dog for a few years, Renee put us at ease right away. Her space is very comfortable & accommodating to fur babies. We knew our little dog was in good hands. She also sent us photos to let us know our little dog was doing just fine. We highly recommend Renee for your pet sitting needs.”
“Vanessa gave Marco such a fantastic staycation while we were in the city for medical reasons. He was well loved and cared for at her home. Would definitely book here again when we return in the future.”
“Christine was amazing! She was super communicative and sent regular updates, which made me feel really comfortable leaving Chewy with her for a few nights. Chewy had such a great time with Christine, her kids, and her sweet doggo Winnie! He was clearly very happy and well taken care of. 🐶❤️ I would definitely recommend Christine to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur babies. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Casey and his wife are unreal. I left my 13 year old frenchie in their hands for almost 3 weeks while I was on vacation in Japan. They took such great care of him! He even seems to have better mobility now and appears much happier! Thank you Casey!!!!”
“Benjamin is such a GEM! Took my pup in last minute. Sent me updates , photos, and videos. I could barely get my dog to leave. Thank you Benjamin for taking such amazing care of my best bud.”
About: We know firsthand that dogs are family. We cared for our beloved dog for 11 years through two knee surgeries and several other procedures due to genetic health issues, giving her the best care every step of the way. That experience taught us patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when a dog needs extra attention. We provide a calm, loving home, daily walks, plenty of affection, and will follow your dog's routine exactly as you request. We treat every dog like one of our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. We both work full-time Monday to Friday, so we're best suited for dogs that are comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours during the workday. Every dog gets a morning walk before we leave, an evening walk when we're home, and lots of love and attention afterward. On weekends we're home most of the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship, playtime, and cuddles. Your dog's safety and comfort are our top priorities. We'll follow your dog's feeding schedule, medication routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions exactly as requested. We treat every dog like a member of our family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. We also volunteer with an incredible pet rescue in Edmonton dog sitting for fosters while they wait for their forever home and absolutely love everything about it. All dogs we watch will 100% be treated like royalty 💜 We also have a toy box full of new toys where your incredible pet gets to bring home their favorite toy after their stay 🥰
“Olena and her partner did an amazing job watching our cat! They updated us with pictures and cute stories which made us feel so comfortable being away. I'd highly recommend them!”
“Ana was so wonderful!!! she really took good care of Crunchie. They went for a walk at the park and she even played with Crunchie at her backyard. She’s the best. Thank you for everything!!”
“Mai gave regular updates with Lucky and Lucky was very well kept. He warmed up to her quickly when he gets scared of people. I would definitely book with Mai again she was so good with Lucky”

If you are looking for a pet sitter who will love your dog as much as you do, look no further than Marilyn! She cared for my dog, Millie, while I was away on vacation and treated her like her absolute own. Thanks to her excellent care and wonderful communication, I had total peace of mind the entire trip. Millie was so happy and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Five stars!
Robyn responded almost instantly to my last minute request for boarding, 2 days before my trip. We did a quick meet and greet the day before and then off she went! Robyn and her family have tons of dog experience and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog there. This was our first time using Rover, so of course there is always doubts, but we are happy we chose this vs a typical kennel. We were provided with daily updates/photos throughout our trip which was nice to see. She got lots of exercise and seemed to settle in. We would definitely recommend Rover and Robyn to any dog parent looking for a loving home and peace of mind.
Brad and his family were so fantastic with our dog, Albie. Albie can be anxious and a bit high stress but Brad was so patient and kind with him. We received lots of updates and photos and Albie got so many walks. Brad was also very communicative and flexible with drop-off/pick-up times. Your pup will be well loved and well cared for with Brad, we will definitely reach out to him again!
This was my first time ever booking a dog sitter through Rover, and the whole process was incredibly easy. Clarsia & Devon were so accommodating, especially on such short notice. They took the time to meet with us beforehand so Cormick could meet the family and make sure it was a good fit for everyone. The communication was excellent, I received plenty of updates and photos while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and would absolutely recommend this family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.
Debbie and Craig were absolutely amazing! Our dog, Poppy, settled in so nicely with them, and we really appreciated all the updates and photos while we were away. We could really tell her and Craig treated Poppy as if she was their own! She was so spoiled with multiple walks per day and lots of snuggles! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
This was our first time booking with kirsty to look after our little man. We was a little nervous leaving him, as he is getting older and less active. But kirsty made the nerves disappear. We had a meet and greet where bruce met kirstys lovely doggies and some others who were in boarding at the time. The was very reassuring and hearing how much love kirsty has for all the dogs just made it confirm that this was the perfect place for bruce. Whilst we was away kirsty kept us upto date with lots of photos and comments on what bruce had been upto. This made us so happy and it was lovely to see how settled bruce had become. We would 100% use kirsty again and would 100% recommend. Bruce certainly had a great time as he slept the whole day and night when he was home to recharge his batteries!! Thank you again kirsty!
Adrianna and her partner were AMAZING pet sitters! They helped me out immensely by taking my very last minute daycare and boarding requests. Dax was well taken care of and absolutely had a blast. She looked like she felt right at home! I cannot recommend them enough. Book with Adrianna!
Luna had a wonderful time and Im half convinced she would have liked to stay when we picked her up! She really liked having a playmate for her boarding. I appreciated the updates and the pictures we received to let us know she was enjoying her stay. We would definitely board with Natasha (and family and Dexter!) again.
