“Stephanie and her daughter were just the best! She was quick to accept my last-minute request and was so flexible. She sent tons of pictures and videos which I loved, and my dog seemed super content after spending the day becoming besties with Stephanie's daughter.”
“Siobhan did a wonderful job taking care of our 7 year old Beagle. I think he really enjoyed playing with Siobhan's dog Millie. They were a very good match by size and temperament. I'm sure our Beagle enjoyed having access to a fenced yard. Lots of new things to sniff! Thank you Siobhan :)”
“I’m so very pleased to have made a connection with Tammy. First, she was willing to meet and test herself for any allergic reaction to our Lexi. Thankfully there was none!! From the first moment we met Tammy and later her hsbd, I could see Lexi was super relaxed and at ease. Getting to know Tammy prior to arranging daycare was a pleasure. I appreciated all the questions, her eagerness to interact with Lexi, her manner of joy, gentleness and natural confident leadership while handling our girl. Our first dog-sitting went smoothly for everyone. There was excellent communication between us, I had 100% peace of mind while away and from photos Tammy shared, I could see Lexi was a very happy girl. I’m grateful to know that Tammy and Gord are people with whom we can trust and count on for future dog sitting and perhaps (hopefully!), overnight stays too ?? ?”
“Naomi and Sam are great with Lily! She’s always so excited to go to their house. They have been very flexible with scheduling and very understanding. They are great at communicating and send updates throughout the day.”
“My Fuji absolutely loves Ibifuro and is always excited when we get her street. She communicates with me throughout the day with updates on Fuji and how he is doing which I really appreciate. I would definitely book her again.”
“Meagan, you and your family did such an amazing job caring for my pup, Alfie! Meagan followed all of my requests and kept me updated throughout the whole entire visit according to my request. Their home is intentionally set up to accommodate caring for a dog, with areas gated for safety. Her daughter's are also extremely sweet and I appreciate that they spent time and playing with Alfie. They are clearly dog savvy kids and were very respectful of him and his needs. I don't even think Alfie knew I was gone 🙄😂 Thank you very much Meagan & family!!”
“Clare is so sweet and my pup had a great day hanging out with her and Geddy! He was clearly spoiled getting snuggle time and taking up her entire couch. He looked like he had a great walk and zoomies in her lovely backyard. I trust her to take care of him fully, because I can see how well she takes care of Geddy and she was great with sending me updates throughout his stay. Java would love to spend the day with Clare again for sure 💛”
“Thank you Jade for giving us a worry-free day in leaving Sully with you and your family. I'm glad he had his first time meeting a larger dog and 4 week old baby. We are happy he behaved well for you with exception of ' the feet focus' he has as a Sheltie. Thank your mom for helping out.”
“You can tell Conner takes such pride in what he does. He is more than a pet sitter. His live and dedication shines through. He gives me peace of mind when I drop Barley off.”
“Tania is an amazing communicator. We left our two dogs. The youngest having a lot of separation anxiety. They both did great. She reassured me and sent me pics and videos. I felt like q mom leaving her baby for the first time. This was a wonderful experience and will definitely nook again.”
“Monica provided excellent care to Sully and was extremely professional in assuring me that he would be watched carefully. I appreciated the meet and greet and her effort to drive to Welland to do so. She is a lovely person and takes great pride in offering the best care possible. We will see you again!”

About: “The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.”- M.K.Clinton As far as I can remember, I don’t think I have spent a day without a dog in my life. Dogs have been an essential part of my being since I was a child. I’m an avid dog lover who just needs an excuse to be with a dog anytime of the day! :-) I have first hand experience in caring for dogs for the past 9 years. I love them with all my heart & I am willing to go the extra mile to make sure that your soulful furry pal is comfortable & cherished in my home. Their presence is a blessing in any life. I work from home which gives me full flexibility & freedom to be with my fur ball ( a super friendly Pomeranian) 24/7. Hence, your fur baby will have my constant attention & love all the time. My husband is my partner in care & we will make sure your paw some little one gets all the attention he needs and even more! I have all sorts of toys (for small dogs) to activate their little smart mind & give them ample amount of exercise for a healthy lifestyle. Kindly schedule a meet & greet before your pet's stay so he/she can sniffle around the new surroundings & give his/hers warm approval :-) I look forward to meet your fur companion! Unfortunately no home boarding available at this time. Sorry for any inconvenience. Your fur babies are like my own! Always treated with love & care.

“Liz is a very kind and warm human. She bonded well with my little guy and took very good care of him. She was accommodating to my changing schedules which I was extremely grateful for. I would definitely recommend Liz and work with her again! Thanks, Liz !”

Jade was amazing!! We had a sitter booked 3 weeks prior and had a last minute cancellation… Jade took Teddy on with only one day notice and he had an absolute blast! This was the longest we’ve been away from him and it was so wonderful to receive pic updates throughout the day and see his happy face having so much fun!! (she also had another puppy that was teddys age and I’m so thankful she was so willing to take on both pups). When we came to pick up teddy the other pup was crying because teddy had to leave. I would highly recommend jade and we will absolutely be using her again in the future! She is our new top pic for a sitter on rover and we’re so thankful for her!! Thank you from the bottom to the top of our hearts Jade! ❤️❤️
Could ask for a better dog sitter situation 🥰 Clare is the sweetest and clearly loves animals & my pup loves her back! He is so spoiled and gets to live his best life hanging out with Clare and Geddy while I have to work. She sends adorable photos and makes she he is well cared for throughout the day. 10/10 highly recommended!
Monica provided excellent care to Sully and was extremely professional in assuring me that he would be watched carefully. I appreciated the meet and greet and her effort to drive to Welland to do so. She is a lovely person and takes great pride in offering the best care possible. We will see you again!
Bo had an amazing fun time with Connor! We definitely recommend Connor to care for you fur baby. We'll be back for sure! Connor was quick to respond to messages and actually did things with Bo rather than keep him in the backyard all day. Bo was happy to be included in Connor's activities and hang out with Connor when Bo was ready to rest. Thanks Connor for taking great care of our pup!
Siobhan was absolutely amazing with Beauty! She kept me updated throughout the day with the sweetest messages and photos. I could tell Beauty felt safe, loved, and had so much fun, especially with her beagle buddy! Siobhan was also very attentive to Beauty’s specific needs, including her allergy and separation anxiety. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! 💕
