âKobe enjoyed his stay with Tasha! He was well taken care of and looked so content in his update pics. We got caught in traffic on the way back to get Kobe and Tasha was perfectly accommodating with his later pick up time, which was greatly appreciated! We would recommend her to anyone!â

âAlbina did a fantastic job watching my puppy Cid !! She provided me with daily updates to let me know how he was doing ! You can tell she has an affinity for animals as he was comfortable with her right away ! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter !!â

âLeslie and Rob provided the best care to our dogs, Pippa and Nova. And they love their new best friend Gauge, who is the sweetest pup! Leslie and Rob are amazing people - kind and caring - and our dogs felt completely at home! They treated them like family, and kept us up to date daily. Pippa and Nova can't wait to go back!â

âDenise, Gary & Xena were wonderful & made Chewy feel part of their family! Loved all the pics & updates which showed how comfortable he was there.â

âMelanie took care of my dog Pickle over the weekend and she absolutely did a fabulous job. Plenty of update with pics and videos throughout the stay. Pickle obviously had a great time with Melanie and her family. Will definitely go back to Melanie again. Thank you đâ
About: I have over two years of hands-on foster experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Iâve looked after dogs recovering from surgery, including those who needed daily medication, special feeding routines, and close monitoring. Iâm very patient and attentive, and I always adjust my care based on each dogâs needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, such as going for walks, playing, providing companionship, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Iâm confident handling dogs on leash and building trust with shy or anxious dogs. I live in a smoke-free home, and I always aim to provide a calm, clean, and loving environment for every dog in my care. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Iâm able to accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and medication as needed. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are cared for in a clean, calm, and smoke-free environment, whether in my home or a clientâs home. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep doors secured, supervise pets at all times, and never leave dogs unattended outdoors. Iâm attentive to each petâs behavior and comfort level, and I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and photos, so they can feel confident and at ease while their pet is in my care.
âJoanna was absolutely fabulous! I was so happy that Jasper was so well cared for while we were out of town. She was very accommodating and flexible to meet up before our vacation to make sure that our dogs got along. She sent pictures and updates that helped reinforce that Jasper was well cared for and having a fun vacation of his own. I highly recommend Joanna and her adorable dog Ollie as excellent dog sitters!â

âThis was our second time that our dog, Bruin, stayed with Chantelle and family :) Chantelle is a wonderful sitter! She kept us updated regulary with texts and lots of pictures! Definitely will book Chantelle in the future! She's wonderful :)â

About: I grew up with dogs and just love spending time with them. I have 5 years of occasional dog boarding and pet sitting experience. I also have volunteered for a dog rescue in Germany/Greece as well as here in Canada and have been a foster for puppies from Labrador and rescues from Texas since 2023. Me and my dog Murphy spend all day together as I work remotely and we usually always have time and space to welcome other dogs into our home! I work from home so me and my dog Murphy are available all day. All dogs in my home get walked 4 times a day and will get plenty of exercise, if required. Just give me some instructions and tell me your dog's quirks and needs and I will work around that. I also love teaching dogs new tricks! I have been a foster for rescue dogs for quite some time now and have worked with highly traumatized dogs, so me and my dog Murphy are used to special needs and behavior in other dogs.
About: I have had pets my whole life and have had my own 2 dogs and 2 cats for the past 15 years. My kids are now grown and Iâm looking for something extra to do. I am a nurse by day and am responsible and reliable. I am in management so my schedule is flexible. These experiences make me a great fit to care for your animals. I have a flexible work schedule so this makes caring for your animals ideal. Together we can find a schedule that ensures your pets needs are met to the highest standard. I can take a pet in my home if they are ok with other pets but I am free to stay at your home. My adult children will care for my animals so I have the freedom to stay with your pet and ensure they have the comfort of their familiar space.
âElena took care of our 7 month old pup, Molly, while we were on vacation for a week. She was phenomenal! Extremely attentive, professional and accommodating, She sent us pictures throughout the week, including one from when she took Molly to meet Santa at PetSmart. When we picked Molly up, she was relaxed and happy. We will definitely be asking Elena to watch her next time we have a need.â

âWould highly recommend. Jasper became part of the pack and there were no issues. Laurie and Alex were great at communicating with me for pick up and providing me with photos of Jasper's fun timeâ

About: I have a lifetime of experience when it comes to dogs and have grown up around them my whole life. I was raised by parents that worked with animals and learned a lot about how to care and connect with them. Iam able to administer medications and attend to dogs of any age including puppies. When my husband and I got a dog of our own for the first time our hearts became even more full with love for animals Wich is something I didnât think possible. Being a dog mom to a loving happy and goofy dog like Bodhi has changed my life. He is truly the heart of our home and caring for him is so fulfilling. Welcoming your dog in our home will just be another incredible addition where we can share our love for animals and care for them like they are our own. I am an artist currently working from home so I am incredibly flexible when it comes to dog care. I have tons of time for play and walks and cuddles so your pet will get lots of attention. On weekends my husband and I go hiking when the weather is good and love to take Bodhi for the nature and exercise, we love to be outside. I live in a great ground floor condo with a walkout porch and a front lawn, right next to me there is a yard with a fence separating us from any traffic or stores. There is lots of room for play and fun and makes potty breaks convenient and easy :) My neighbours are all dog lovers as well and welcome all new furry friends with loving arms. I live only 2 minutes away from Bowring park and go there everyday for a huge walk with Bodhi living close is such a blessing cause he loves the park. As most dogs do, itâs a great place to walk them and let them explore. So you can count on your dog getting a nice big walk in during the day :) Bodhi is a super loving and playful dog who loves other dogs and playing so you know your dog will have a best friend when they stay with us. Dogs are welcome in the bed, on the couch and anywhere in our home. They are family and are treated as such :)
âMaggie took care of our Australian shepherd, Jersey, while we were out of town on vacation. She was so kind and took such good care of our girl, bringing her for walks frequently, Sent lots of photos and updates. Highly recommend.â

About: With over 12 years of trusted experience, I bring a lifetime of love for animals. Throughout my life, my family raised five dogs and four cats, giving me deep, hands-on care experience. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. As a graduate student and volunteer board member with Happy City St. Johnâs, I appreciate the flexibility pet care offers. It fits naturally into my schedule, allowing me to balance academic and volunteer commitments while doing something I loveâcaring for animals and making sure theyâre happy and well looked after. I provide lots of exercise and play by taking dogs on city walks and visiting a nearby dog park. My spacious apartment offers plenty of room to relax and roam. Without pets of my own, your fur baby gets my full attention, love, and care, just like they deserve.
âReally nice sitters! They also have a pup who got along really well with ours. Nirali kept us updated with pictures and videos of our dog which was reassuring. Would definitely book with them again.â

âHarley absolutely loved stay with Katarina and her family. I was a last minute decision to find a sitter and they were happy to take her on such short notice. I can't put anymore star*s in for the rating, but if I could I would ! We would highly recommend this sitter for your fur baby! And, we will surely book with them again.â

âOur dog had a wonderful experience with Vincent and his wife. He was walked daily and received a lot of love and attention from these true pet lovers. I was nervous leaving him at first but Vincent sent daily texts and pictures which reassured us of the quality care he received. We would 100% use Vincent again and highly recommend him to care for your pet.â
âAmrita was so sweet and gave lots of updates about Alma. She was patient with her when she was anxious and barking for the first bit after I left. I will definitely be booking with Amrit next time I need a sitter <3â

âMy dog had a wonderful time with Justine and her family! She has a large property for dogs to run and play, my pup didnât even want to come home!I definitely recommend her care if you want your dog to have a blast and be well cared for !â

Jessica and Anthony are amazing!! We were provided with updates and photos the whole time and felt perfectly comfortable. Our girl looked super happy every day, and they went above and beyond what we couldâve expected. We wouldnât hesitate to leave our pets with them again!

Ana went above and beyond and I felt so grateful to have my Potato in the care of someone so attentive and thoughtful. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter. Feels great to know I have someone like her to go to if I ever need a sitter again.

Albina did a fantastic job watching my puppy Cid !! She provided me with daily updates to let me know how he was doing ! You can tell she has an affinity for animals as he was comfortable with her right away ! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter !!

First time using Rover.com and we found Paige and we felt so good leaving our fur baby with her. The meet and greets were a great for introductions and questions. Paige and Theo asked a lot of thoughtful questions about Shelby! Every dog has their quirks but having a hearing impaired one requires special attention, which Shelby got. We were able to go on a vacation knowing Shelby would be well looked after. Really appreciate this service more than anyone can really know.
