About: I’ve been taking care of my neighbour’s high maintenance dogs for the last 3 months. Loving them has brought me so much joy.

Had some play dates with other dogs that she knew of nearby! We would definitely recommend Mackenzie!”

“Chasity is my best friend and roommate of 4+ years. She helped me care for my senior cat during the last few years of his life. We took in a stray kitten and she requires extra care and Chasity provides this care to her and of course all the love and affection a fur baby needs! <3 If you have any questions please feel free to get my contact information from Chasity and I will provide a reference for her.”
St. John pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t be happier with Katie! Both our pets loved her. She took amazing cars of them and was great at sending update. Mia and Sy can’t wait for their next sleep over. 😊
Kathryn was an amazing dog sitter who not only connected with our dogs on a truly wonderful level (she even bought them a going away present) but who left our house spotless. We will definitely be using her whenever we need someone to take care of our dog babies.
Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of my dog Frankie! From the start, communication was clear and easy—he asked great questions to make sure he understood Frankie’s routine and needs. Throughout the stay, he sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Frankie looked happy and comfortable the whole time, and it was obvious he was well cared for. I could tell he got plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’ll definitely be booking with Mitchell again. Highly recommend!
