“This is the second time Kimberly has looked after our dog, Hunter, while we were away on holiday, and once again she was outstanding. She provided daily updates with photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Hunter and Kimberly’s dog, Murphy, bonded wonderfully and became great playmates. It was reassuring to know Hunter was not only well cared for but also happy and having fun. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter”
“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!”
“Eva is an amazing animal lover, our dog Meeko instantly bonded with her- she took such good care of Meeko and her picture sharing still kept us connected with our dog while we were away. Thank you for being so caring.”
“Milana did an excellent job caring for my dog. She was responsible, communicative, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. It was clear she truly cares about animals, and my dog felt comfortable and happy with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Millana again and highly recommend her services.”
“Cindy and Marc took such amazing care of my dog while we were away for 7 days. They made us feel completely at ease by giving us daily updates and sending pictures every day, which really showed how loved and cared for our dog was. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and treat them like family. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters!”
“Our dog Dexter had a fantastic experience while staying with Ilona for a week. Ilona met with us before we booked and asked lots of questions and answered all of ours. We felt comfortable leaving our one-year old dog in Ilona's care where daily walks and play time with her dog Frankie would be part of his routine. While we were away Ilona sent messages and photos daily so we would know how how we was getting on - which turned out to be very well!”
“Hi, Judy was great. Our dog Maddie is 14 years old and did struggle with anxiety separation when first left with Judy. This made Maddie physically sick but Judy persevered instead of asking us to return and pick-up Maddie. Since the reason Judy was looking after Maddie was so we could be at our daughters wedding it was crucial that we felt Maddie was being cared for properly. Judy went above and beyond provided updates and pictures so that we could enjoy this incredibly special day. The wedding was absolutely perfect and Judy played a very important role in making it so. Thanks so much, Luc”
“Saksham took great care of Snowy while we were away. We were a bit late for pickup, but he was very understanding and accommodating. Snowy came back happy and well cared for, and it was clear that Saksham treated her with kindness and attention. We really appreciated his flexibility and would definitely trust him with Snowy again. Highly recommended!”
“Gail is amazing! My 2.5-year-old husky came back happy, well cared for, and completely tired out after his stay. It was clear that her entire family helped take care of him, not just Gail, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him there. She provided regular photo updates and communicated very well throughout the stay. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

About: A lifetime of loving dogs is what drives my pet care. I grew up with dogs of my own and have spent years caring for the pets of friends and family. Because dogs have always been a central part of my life, I will create a nurturing, safe, and attentive environment for your dog. I work from home full-time, which allows me to maintain a structured and attentive routine. Your dog will enjoy an active, fun-filled day with me! My routine includes four 20–30 minute walks outside every day, paired with plenty of open playtime in my fenced yard. It is the perfect balance of structured walking and backyard fun to keep your pup happy and tired by bedtime. I provide cage-free dog boarding in my own home, offering full-time supervision while I work. Your pet will enjoy a loving environment with my friendly Goldendoodle, featuring four 20-to-30-minute outdoor walks daily and plenty of playtime in my securely fenced yard. I follow your exact care instructions to keep your dog's routine safe, consistent, and happy.
“This was my first experience leaving the most important member of our family. I want to extend my gratitude to Jayson. He has been a very kind person with my dog, sending pictures, schedules, and updates on how my dog was doing. He took care of my dog, and I feel that he did it just like I would have. Jayson is a gentle person with dogs; he connects very well with them, and you can sense that you can trust him. Thank you, Jayson, for taking care of Alma.”
“Yaxnitza is very friendly and professional. She offered a welcome meeting and greeting a week before date of boarding, so my Bentley can feel more comfortable staying with her and her beautiful dog Lilly. In a week Bentley stayed with Yaxnitza, she sent pictures, videos everyday to assured everything ok. I'm lucky and feel thankful that I found Yaxnitza for my Bentley when I wasn't home. Thank you Yaxnitza, We'll see you again when we go away next time. Highly recommended Yaxnitza for someone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Alysha and her family were such gracious hosts! She accepted a last minute booking, kept me up to date and accommodated last minute changes. I would absolutely recommend having your fur friend stay with her, I know I will be rebooking again in the future! :)”

Hunter has stayed with Kimberly several times now, most recently while we were in Italy, and it’s always reassuring to know he’s in such good hands. She keeps us updated with plenty of photos, which gives us real peace of mind while we’re away. Hunter is always excited to spend time with Kimberly and her family—especially their dog, Murphy! The two seem inseparable. Hunter was even a little mopey on his first day back home; I think he was missing his pal. Thank you, Kimberly, for making Hunter feel so welcome and taking such wonderful care of him. Highly recommended!
Teija cared for Teddy, our 3-yr old small spaniel, for two days while we saw a couple of plays at the Stratford Festival. I always feel some anxiety when we drop our pet off with a stranger, but Teija made me immediately feel comfortable and confident we had made the right choice. We appreciated the photos and notes she forwarded to us. We could see that Teddy was looking happy and relaxed. I feel fortunate to have found her. I hope Teija is available the next time we visit the festival.
It was our first time leaving Bella with a boarding service and we are very happy with the results. Dallas was great with Bella. They got along fantastic. We could could tell as Bella was excited and happy to start her time with Dallas after her first visit. We had a great trip knowing that Bella was secure with Dallas. Thank you
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.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
sitters in Stratford have an average of 14 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
You and your Stratford sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
