“Naomi & Sam were amazing sitters for our 3 yr old (85 pound) Bernese Mountain dog. Our dog was able to stay with them for 6 nights and while she was with them she got lots of walks, great play time with their dog and kids and Naomi sent us pictures of all of her adventures every day. Having a large breed dog in your home is a challenge for many people, and this family was awesome. I would highly recommend using Naomi and Sam for a short or long stay with your dog - they were GREAT hosts. We will be booking with them again for sure.”
“Copper's second stay with Jennifer and Brent was as successful as the first. Copper had a great time - And got spoiled by all the attention and special treatment -- Like getting to sleep on the sofa! Jennifer and Brent also took him hiking one day which we know he loves. We will certainly leave Copper with them again on our next trip to St. Catharines. Thanks for all you do for him and us, guys! Take care. Ron and Jen.”
“Deborah did an amazing job taking care of Molly for the time she stayed there. I felt comfortable leaving her with Deborah and Molly seemed to enjoy being there too Highly recommended!”
“Samantha took great care of our Old English Sheepdog (Mick) while we were away for a week over the holidays. We were updated with photos and can’t say enough good things about her and the care/attention she provided. We highly recommend Samantha and will gladly be repeat customers. Thank you Samantha!”
“It’s my first time that I had to leave Abu, and Stephanie did a really great job taking care of her. I got a lot of pics and videos show Abu’s happy face everyday. Penny is so also caring and I think they make such a cute team! Just adorable.”
“Shannon took amazing care of my pups while I was away for a girls wknd. She was super friendly, responsive and responsible. And my pups came back tired, so I know they had a fun and entertaining time with Shannon and her pup Henley!! :) I’ll gladly book with Shannon again!”
“Camilla and her husband were great with Charlie. He was happy and very well cared for. Charlie’s generally not good with strangers, but he got along with them very quickly. I am glad I have found them. They will be looking after Charlie every time I need somebody hopefully they’ll be available.”
“My dogs had a blast with Zaira and her family!!! They spent a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful we were having over the weekend and she gave them the love and attention they needed. She followed all care instructions to the letter and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay. Overall 10000/10, will absolutely re-book with Zaira. Mil gracias 💛”
“Meagan took awesome care of our little Mille. Right from the moment we met Meagan and her family we knew Mille would love staying with them. We plan to have Meagan take care of our dog again.”
“Monica and her children were great with Nova. Nova got lots of attention and I got great updates and pictures regularly on how Nova was doing :) I will definitely rebook with her in the future”
“I had to leave my dog Snow for 2 days with Monique. She is really the best sitter. My Snow was very happy staying with her. They have a big backyard, and my boy really loved playing there. Monique took a good care and was constantly updating me with pics of my dog. That was really helpful. In case i need a sitter in future, i will 100% leave my dog here.”
“This family took such great care of our little 'Pickles' who needs to take a pill every 8 hours. Pickles missed being with the children when he came back home and is already looking forward to the next time.”
“Couldn't be happier with the care Connor gave to Atlas. He also sent amazing updates and so many great pictures. It was clear that Atlas was super well cared for and we're so grateful.”
“Jade was awesome! Sh looked after my 15 week old pup Marlo and made me feel very comfortable leaving her there. She made sure that Marlo would get along with the other dog in her care and would send me pictures of Marlo. Also her response time was always very quick. Would highly recommend.”
“Darien was absolutely fantastic with our girl (Elsa)! From the onset of booking she made me feel completely at ease by setting up a video chat so that we could meet and I would be comfortable with where Elsa would be staying. Darien would send frequent updates of Elsa’s activities at her place and I could tell Elsa was so well taken care of by Darien and her family (she looked like she was right at home!!). I was also very happy to hear that Elsa got along well with Darien’s dog because Elsa is normally not a very social dog. All in all, Elsa had a comfortable and happy stay and I would definitely bring Elsa back for future boardings 😊!”
“We are very grateful and happy for the care they gave our little Loki. They were always very communicative and affectionate. Thank you very much. 100% recommended.”
“Bailey was an excellent sitter for our boy Charlie! She was very communicative, sending tons of photos and updates. She went above and beyond taking care of Charlie and we couldn’t recommend her more!”
St. Catharines dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Karen and Jorge. They took excellent care of our dog, kept us updated, and were very accommodating when we needed a later pickup. Their flexibility and understanding were greatly appreciated, and it gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. We would happily book with them again.
Camila and Santiago took extremely good care of my senior, quirky dog who sometimes has separation anxiety. They were open to a meet and greet and took to Angel right away, and she seemed very comfortable with them very quickly! They sent daily photos and made me feel completely at ease with my first time using Rover. Will definitely book again!
Shannon took amazing care of my pups while I was away for a girls wknd. She was super friendly, responsive and responsible. And my pups came back tired, so I know they had a fun and entertaining time with Shannon and her pup Henley!! :) I’ll gladly book with Shannon again!
Jade was awesome! Sh looked after my 15 week old pup Marlo and made me feel very comfortable leaving her there. She made sure that Marlo would get along with the other dog in her care and would send me pictures of Marlo. Also her response time was always very quick. Would highly recommend.
Marisa has done multiple drop in visits for my puppy Nemo, while I was away at work, when Nemo was small. She also boarded Nemo (now 5 months old) for a week recently and Nemo was so ecstatic to see Marisa, which was heartwarming to see. Marisa even picked her up and dropped her off which was great. She has always been punctual and sends updates while caring for your pet. I felt very comfortable away while Nemo was boarded with Marisa.
Melissa was one of the greatest borders I’ve ever had my dogs stay at. She works from home so almost always with them, is extremely accommodating, quick on responsiveness and great at providing updates with pictures. Believe it or not, she boarded my THREE Dobermans, 2 girls and a boy, for a full 24h while I had to get out of town. Also a plus for owners with big dogs who play rough with other dogs; nothing to worry about, she does not have a dog of her own living with her! Always very positive and professional in our interactions, will definitely use her boarding services again if ever needed!
Connor was absolutely exceptional. From the moment Draper arrived, it was clear he was in thoughtful, capable, and genuinely caring hands. Connor communicated consistently with detailed updates that were reassuring and honest, which made a huge difference while I was traveling. He was attentive to Draper’s comfort, routines, and little nuances, especially during a sudden cold snap, and went out of his way to make sure Draper stayed warm, comfortable, and happy. Draper settled in beautifully, bonded quickly, and was clearly relaxed, content, and very well cared for. It is obvious Connor truly loves what he does, and that care and calm energy shows in how dogs respond to him. I could not have asked for a better experience and would trust Connor again without hesitation. Highly recommend.
Ruby was so lucky to stay with Heidi and her husband Paul while we were away on vacation. They have the perfect set up (large backyard, tons of grass, spacious home) and they made us feel comfortable leaving Ruby with non-family for the first time. Highly recommend Heidi for dog sitting!
Alannah and Rob provided excellent care for my 2 dogs over the weekend. It was our 1st time so I was a bit nervous but after meeting them both on drop off day and pick up they both seemed calm, caring and committed to the well being of my dogs they had just met. They are confident, experienced and provided sufficient communication throughout the time - quick responses, photos and a video to calm my nerves! Thank you both!
My pup stayed with Daniel and his family for two visits, totalling almost a month. He was well looked after, communication was good, care instructions were followed and they sent occasional update photos. My dog has lots of energy and they were up for the challenge!
