“Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of our dog Apollo! This was our first time leaving him with anyone other than family and he loved it, but most importantly we were reassured that he was safe and doing well during the whole day. Stephanie sent us many videos and pictures of Apollo’s stay, which was amazing because we could see how much fun he was having! I will and already have booked multiple more doggy day care for Apollo with Stephanie and recommend anyone to do so too!”

“Thank you Siobhan for taking such good care of Whisky. He had a blast and made some new friends. We will definitely keep you in mind for our next visit in the Niagara region”

“Tania was amazing with my girl. Was worried on leaving Dixie with someone but Tania made me feel super comfortable having my dog with her. She kept me updated and sent lots of photos of Dixie. Needless to say when I went to pick Dixie up she wanted to stay. I will be rebooking again with Tina. Thank you again Tania and Oscar”

“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.”

“I'm very happy with the doggy daycare service Marissa provided today! Marissa sent me many photos and videos of Jiraiya throughout the day. She kept him very busy; he recieved lots of exercise and enrichment. She also has a really cute dog that got along well with Jiraiya. He came home a happy boy. We will definitely use Marissa's services again :)”

“Connor did a fantastic job looking after our dog, Roux! From the moment they met, it was clear that Roux liked him and was eager to go with him. Connor made sure she was walked, exercised and felt loved + comfortable throughout her time with him. We really appreciated his attentiveness and care, and we’ll definitely be contacting him again to have him look after Roux in the future!”

“Monica and her children have been fantastic with our puppy Ace! Pick up and drop off are very easy and enjoyable. Monica always sends photos and updates so I can see how Ace’s day is going. Ace loves going to daycare at Monica’s and always wags his tail when we pull up to her home. My fiancée and I are very thankful that Monica took a chance on our pup and would highly recommend her to our family and friends.”


“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 !”

“Clare was amazing with our dogs! She has the best bubbly, positive personality. We were on vacation in her area and needed some dog-free time. Her doggy daycare service saved us. Her home and yard are lovely, comfortable, and dog friendly. Clare was very diligent and kept us updated the entire time with pictures and concerns. I highly recommend her services, and will book her again when we return! Thank you so much, Clare!”

I have worked with dogs with limited on-leash training and some reactive behaviors. I am a current Humane Society dog volunteer. I am conscientious when it comes to introductions and interactions with other dogs, or as you instruct.

About: Extremely experienced and have been taking care of animals for over 15 years! I treat each pet like a family member with unconditional love <3 I am currently at home full time, so I will have unlimited time to spend with each and every fur baby! My schedule is very open; available for boarding almost 7 days a week! Caring for animals isn't just a job to me; it is natural and part of my every day life! Great size family home with lots of room and comfy furniture for them to feel right at home. I have a fully fenced in back yard, offering lots of play time outside. Awesome neighborhood for ample walks as well. I do have two friendly cats; both love and are used to dogs. If the need for crating is requested, I do have one available.
About: With lifelong experience caring for diverse pets plus trusted pet sitting for friends, family and referrals. I bring reliability and genuine love to every sitter role. Proud to say that I am highly recommended! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m very routine oriented. I plan my days around visit times, so pets are fed, groomed, and given attention on a consistent schedule. I like to keep feeding, playtime, litter scooping, and meds (if needed) at the same times each day to help pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I care for pets by following their specific needs whether I am at their home or mine. I stick to their regular feeding schedule, make sure they have fresh water, keep their living area clean, and provide playtime and affection to keep them happy. I also administer medications if needed and watch closely for any signs of health or behavior changes to ensure their well being at all times.

About: Hi! We’re Madison and Richard! An animal-loving couple offering small-scale, attentive care for your pets. Madison works from home and Richard is home over his lunch and he also works remotely occasionally as well. We have a fully fenced backyard and offer one-on-one daycare to ensure a calm, safe environment. Our goal is quality over quantity; we only accept one guest dog at a time so play stays structured and positive. We have a friendly dog, Winnie, who loves playing with friends. Because of this, we prioritize dogs who are well socialized and get along well with her. We always schedule a meet & greet first to ensure a good fit for everyone! Madison is home all day and can take dogs out as often as needed. Richard is home on lunch and can do walks then. Richard also occasionally works from home, which means double the pets! We have been pet owners all of our lives, with Madison owning cats and Richard owning dogs. Now we own Winnie, who is a cat like dog! We treat animals with the utmost care. We follow instructions clearly and want to ensure your pet is comfortable and happy with us.
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.

“Jersey had the best day with her new bff Dhizzy 💜 It’s no joke when you leave your fur baby with someone new and your heart is in your throat. Dhizzy shared photos and updates that showed me how happy my girl was, Jersey has expressive eyes and she was an happy girl 🥰and I love the Rover card. Absolutely booking again 💜”


About: I've been caring for dogs for over 22 years, across every stage of life - from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My first dog Luka was a Norwegian Elkhound rescued at just under a year old which meant hands on experience with house training, obedience and managing the needs of a large, strong willed breed. I currently work from home so I'm available to be with your pup any time of the day and they won't be left alone for extended periods of time. I have a large fully secured fenced yard your dog can spend time in if they enjoy the outdoors other than walks or park visits. There is a sunroom looking out on the yard so I can work from there and keep a close eye on your pet. If your dog is crate trained I'm more than happy to continue this process and provide a safe space for your pet.
“Ibifuro was fantastic with my pup, Barney! I was so appreciative she was able to take him for a couple hours on a last minute notice when our regular sitter fell through. Barney was well cared for and Ibifuro sent me updates on how he was doing along the way. I would definitely recommend her and would book again the next time I need pet care!”

“Leticia and Tarik provided excellent service and Tag was very comfortable with them. We will use them again. Very caring sitters who obviously love dogs! Thank you very much, Leticia and Tarik.”

About: Long walks at a local park. Red loves to make new friends. Treats that are gluten free, all natural, liver treats. Fruits and vegetables if they like them. It's all about the dogs. Rest assured they are treated like family. I look forward to meeting your family member. Availability to a local vet 24 hours a day if the need ever arises. Outside time in a safe fenced park socialized time as well as alone snuggles, playing or just hanging out together. Dead end street so little traffic and very quiet neighborhood. Your pet will be cared for like they are my own so no need to worry about anything. Leave them in my hands and they will be very happy and tired when they get home. Thank you I am available for the whole weekend. They will be happy and cared for. We will stay busy and have rest time as well. I walk Red three times on the weekends. I am home all weekend and it’s all about what the dog needs. Walks, parks, hiking. Car rides we can do it all. There is always fresh water and treats.
St. Catharines dog parents share their Rover experiences
Marisa watched my 2 dogs today for the 1st time. What a fantastic experience. I always worry when leaving my girls with someone for the first time and Marisa set me at ease right away with her great communication and pics she was sending. My dogs are almost 5 years apart in age. Both love to cuddle but the younger one also loves to play. Marisa's dog, Maverick was a perfect play date for my younger one which happily left my older one free to spend all her time cuddling. She can be a little nervous around new people at first but she took to Marisa right away. I will 100% reach out to Marisa again the next time I need someone.
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! 💕
