Tieja was so great! Took our dog out to the dog park, and made sure she was totally taken care of, even when she had to wear her cone. 100% would recommend.

Abby and Ryan loved our Jazzy as their own. The sent a few updates to let us know that she was well and happy. They even administered her new meds which was above and beyond the call of duty. We highly recommended them

Dawn was a lifesaver! Our original sitter canceled last minute, and Dawn accepted our booking the same day. We were so grateful she could take Choki in on such short notice. She kept us updated with photos and took amazing care of him. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and even freshly washed and groomed—he looked better than when we dropped him off! I couldn’t recommend Dawn more. She’s caring, professional, and truly goes above and beyond. Thank you, Dawn!

Kimberly, thank you so much to you and your family for taking such excellent care of Hunter this past weekend while we were away in Edmonton. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We were so glad to hear how well Hunter got along with Murphy and that he had a buddy to hang out with. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos — they meant a lot and reassured us he was happy and well cared for. Thank you again for your kindness and care. Until next time!

I cannot say enough good things about Cindy and her family! We were really nervous about leaving our pup for multiple days because he’s only 4 months old and we had never left him before, but from the moment we met Cindy, we immediately felt comfortable and at ease. Cindy and her family are incredibly warm and friendly, so helpful and accommodating, and just really good people who are amazing with animals. We are super over the top with our dog, we have a million toys, stairs for the couch, a crate, a playpen, and I even printed out a 4-pager of instructions because I’m THAT dog mom haha! Cindy literally took it all in with no issue at all, she was amazing about training our pup and sticking to his routine, she took him out to pee every couple of hours, and literally he just got to be snuggled and loved constantly everyday. I could not be happier to have found such a wonderful family who is so good with our pup, so patient with all my details and instructions, so amazing about sending updates and pictures the whole time so that we could see how comfortable and happy our pup was. Cindy is our number one choice for someone that we can trust to take the best care of our little guy and we will go to her as often as she is willing to have him! We truly cannot recommend Cindy more for anyone who needs some help with dog boarding/sitting! Cindy and her family are the absolute best!

About: I love animals especially dogs. I love dog walking and just hanging out with dogs they are so fun and cute. I have ample experience being around and caring for animals I work in the arts and currently have a few weeks off before I start my next job so looking to fill my time with some dog or cat sitting. I am very reliable and dependable. It’s preferable for me to walk or care for the animals in their home as it’s more familiar to them. I love to walk/play/cuddle dogs. I enjoy just being around them and playing with them.

Gail was awesome, taking care of our dog Wally in her home for 5 days and nights in March 2026. Wally was walked 3x per day, and we felt totally comfortable after an initial meet and greet that Wally would be in good hands while we went on vacation. Gail accommodated an early morning drop off so we could catch our flights. And we got lots of pictures while away which we loved. If you need someone to take care of your dog, and love them like you do, don’t hesitate to contact Gail !

Thank you for taking such fantastic care of Rogue again! This is the first time since 2017 that we have been able to visit family out east over the holidays and it was a great visit made all the better knowing he was in your care. He’s been pretty sleepy since we picked him up - I suspect he did a lot of running and playing lol. Happy New Year

Priyanka was amazing! We did a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone felt comfortable which put my mind at ease. She provided updates throughout Hudson’s stay so I knew how he was adjusting. It was my first time using Rover and Hudson’s first time staying away from home. He was nervous in a new environment and Priyanka went above and beyond to ensure he felt comfortable and ate his meals. Priyanka also has an active walk schedule so his exercise needs were met and consistent with his normal routine. I felt very comfortable my dog was in good hands and will definitely book again in the future. Thanks again! :)

This past weekend our family used Rover for the first time and Adam kindly and quickly responded to my booking request as well as any questions I had. He kept contact throughout Nova's stay and sent us pictures along the way. It was FANTASTIC to be able to go away and have her stay in a safe, warm and caring environment. We would highly recommend and hope to book with Adam again in the future.

Cindy and Marc were just fabulous! It's always nerve-wracking to leave your furry loved one with strangers, but we left him knowing he was in good hands. They say animals can sense when a person isn't a good person. Finn can be sketchy with people, but within 10 minutes of our meet and greet, he was already running up to them. He was so well taken care of and happy. Thank you, Cindy and Marc! We'll be requesting you again. :)

Our energetic pup, Louie, was well taken care of and well loved during his stay with Charlanne. Charlanne is an excellent communicator and kept us up to date during Louie’s stay and provided lots of pictures and videos. Charlanne went above and beyond and had paths in the deep snow in her yard so Louie could have a safe place to run and play. Highly recommend and have booked Louie’s second stay!

5 stars isn't enough for Maria. What was suppose to be a simple few days while we went on vacation quickly turned out to be anything but. right before we were to leave we discovered Ellie had a brain Tumor and needed alot of extra care.. We gave Maria the chance to back out as that's not what was originally discussed.. and she didn't.. she was up for the challenge. Simply Amazing.. thank you so much for taking care of our girl for us.
