This was Jasper's 3rd stay with Mathew. Mathew always goes above and beyond with photo and video updates and the communication is excellent. Jasper loves running around with his dog buddy Bailey.

First time experience using Rover. My sitters were Elizabeth and Gary C. They are wonderful,generous loving,caring dog people. They took on my 3 female dogs,various ages at very short notice for 10 days. I received pictures of my girls everyday, playing,being loved and just having a great time! I have a 15 yr old and 2 8yr olds. They are very fussy eaters. Somehow they got them on normal food. That is great for me! They are very quick to respond to texts. Right up to the last minute Elizabeth let me know how the girls were doing. Best experience I could have possibly had with boarding my girls. I never had a concern for their care or safety. They were in great hands with Elizabeth and Gary. I will definately be calling on Elizabeth and Gary again!

We had Coco stay over at Bradley twice and we were so happy with how he took care of Coco both times. He kept us well informed of coco’s activities during the stay and sent us pictures of him. He also made him eggs breakfast as we requested him so coco feels like home. I will look forward to have coco stay with Bradley in future as well and strongly recommend others to reach out to him if looking for dog boarding. Thank you Bradley for taking care of coco on New years eve and day as we got a chance to step out to celebrate new years eve.

About: I am a huge animal lover who’s been fostering dogs since 2019, and cats longer than that. My home is set up perfectly for temporary care, both short and long term, with crates and various sizes and leashes of different lengths all tucked away for when they’re needed. I’ve fostered dogs of all sizes, puppies as young as 2 weeks that were bottle fed around the clock, plenty of young puppies that I house trained, and seniors that required daily medication administered and even wound care. Despite often being surrounded by dogs, I’m still the type of person to point out dogs and call out “puppy!” when I drive by one. I can’t wait to welcome your furry friend to my home! I work 100% from home, so I’m basically always home during the week. Any weekend plans of mine tend to be made in advance, and are often made with other pet friendly people! I have a fully fenced yard and my own senior dog to keep yours company! I have crates and beds of various sizes if your dog is crate trained, and also don’t mind having an extra dog to snuggle with overnight if not. My house is fully puppy-proof, with gates separating most rooms and all cords either hidden or monitored. For cats who may not be comfortable with other animals or just needs their own space, I have a spare room that I often used for foster cats- this room has cat trees, beds, litter boxes and more to keep your kitty entertained.

About: Hi there, My name is Alexis, and I am an Elementary School Teacher, looking for a side gig to make some extra money working with animals! For my entire life, I have had personal experience caring for and walking dogs as I have always had at least one or two of my own at home. I have had 10 years of experience dog walking, and pet sitting here and there for friends, family and neighbours. I currently have a border collie x Labrador retriever mix, and I have had many others dogs including smaller dogs in the past. I love dogs of any breed and size and am able to work with more than one at a time for those with more than one dog in the family. I have had experience training my own dogs throughout my life for puppy age, as well as have worked with senior dogs as well. I love dogs and pets of any kind, and hopefully, look forward to meeting your furry friends. Connect with me if you are interested or have any questions, text, call or email me. I will get back to you as soon as I can. I am currently working full time as a teacher from 9-3:30 Monday - Friday. So I am available in the early morning or early and later evening. I am also available on the weekends and holidays. For dog boarding, I can take dogs for longer stays, they would sometimes just have longer days at home without a human. 8 hours max. I have a fenced in yard and a lovey border collie at home to keep your furry friend company. I can offer crating, treats and adventures when your dog stays with me. Your dog would get walks depending on their physical needs and a solid routine with consistent feeding times and exercise.

Smitha was very responsive. However, we were not told that they look after other dogs as well as it was not on their profile at the time and at the meet and greet there was a puppy there which was very cute but too much for Riley as he is 15. However since at that time we did not have too many choices we went with her. She did look after Riley and accommodate us as we ran into traffic and got a bit late.

Kollin and his wife are amazing as a person and even better as a pet sitter. My Dobie - Ajax stayed with them for 40 days. We got him back the same as we left him. They have 2 beautiful and friendly dogs. My dobie played with them for hours. I highly recommend Kollin for your pet sitting needs.

We are very happy with the care and attention Yoda gave to our Matilda. At first, we were worried about whether Matilda would feel comfortable with her caregiver, since she is very attached to us, but as soon as she arrived at Yoda’s home, all our worries disappeared. Matilda just wanted to go inside Yoda’s house, and she looked so happy!! We felt very reassured by Yoda’s energy, as she truly radiates her love for animals. She also kept us 100% updated the whole time. It was a wonderful experience.

About: Grew up with and around dogs. My brother and his chocolate lab are moved out now. I would love to have a dog of my own one day. Hoping to fill the void until then by giving this a try. I currently work full time. I am available from 5pm onwards through out the week for walking. My home is available on weekends for sitting/overnight stays. I live in the country with a large yard and woods behind my house. Great for walks and playing. Dogs are welcome everywhere in house except bedrooms.

Kasia was absolutely amazing. Our pup stayed with her for over 2 weeks and we couldn’t be happier with how she took care of Rory. We will be using Kasias service in the future for sure. Thank you again for being such a great caregiver for our dog ☺️🙏❤️

Diane was beyond amazing with Marty! I have never had someone take such good care of my dog. She went above and beyond my expectations and I cannot recommend her enough. She is so kind, communicates well and sends photo updates, and is so good with dogs. We will definitely be sending our pup back to her as I don’t think there is a better dog sitter out there than her. Thank you Diane for being so amazing to us and our dog :)

Bentley stayed with Mathew while we went on a camping trip. He had the best time there! He came home and wasn’t upset with us for leaving him for a week. Previously we would put him in the kennel for boarding and his demeanour changed when we would pick him up. He loves Mathew’s dog as well and they get along so well. Thanks again for taking such good care of my boy :)
