Carolyn is awesome! She had Jade for 2 nights and took very good care of her. Jade felt at ease and comfortable in her home the moment I dropped her off. Great communication the entire time. Would definitely recommend !

Kristin and her family were amazing to deal with and Luna had a great time. I appreciated the updates that were given throughout the stay. I loved that Luna felt comfortable enough to roam their house lol.

My dog was at Sarah's once for daycare and when we left him for boarding he was super excited to go there. Sarah sent regular updates and left me at ease, knowing he was being well cared for.

About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. I recently had to let my ole girl pass over the rainbow, such an heartbreaking decision to make. She was happy as the only dog if the house and I had a desire for more happy tails! So I decided to start walking dogs and doing pet visits so that I could fulfill my need for more waggy tails! I do work a local job that runs Monday -Friday, but am done by 3:15. I schedule my walks for 3:15 and after.I do get a 30 min lunch break that I can do washroom breaks for pets if needed. Walks are 30-45 mins. I do have weekends and evenings off, this is where I make the time for pups/cats. I do not tend to bring other dogs to my home, I have done so on occasion but only after my dog has had a chance to meet our new furry visitor. I do dog walks, visits and out door adventures for your pup. I even take some of my 4 legged friends to the back country roads, for that nice open free run!

As a first time Rover user I was nervous initially to leave Finn and Rey with someone I had just met, but Jenna was absolutely wonderful; she appeared to be very familiar and knowledgeable with dogs and put me at ease immediately. She kept me up to date while the dogs were over with pictures and videos which was super appreciated! I would definitely choose Jenna in the future again!

Lara and her family are so wonderful! Maggie was so well cared for and she was just like one of the family! She had lots of walks, playtime and cuddle time. I loved the updates and I could really enjoy my holiday knowing that she was also having a great time and being so well cared for. Thank you!

Thank you Lexi and Phillip for your efforts when caring for Talon. It took him a while to settle in and your patience with his whining for attention/snacks was appreciated. He was well looked after. Thanks for the videos!

Finn and Tigg came home very contented and unstressed. I was constantly receiving updates while away on holidays. I have never seen my boys settle in with a stranger as quickly as they did. It was like they knew Alexis for years. Will definitely use her again in the future.

About: I have taken care of rescue dogs, both young mom and pups, along with pregnant dogs, to senior dogs. I grew up with different types of dogs and my grandfather raced greyhounds. I currently am at home. I do have my granddaughter after school, who loves animals. She has a cat. Going for walks would also help me get some exercise. I have an unfenced yard, so your dog would always be on a leash. I have a small senior dog that usually would accompany me on walks.

Teaghan was wonderful to chat with leading up to time of drop off - this was just as important for me, as she was genuinely interested in how to keep our dog safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She was even willing to meet before hand to get to meet and greet with our pup as it was our first time using a sitter for our dog. Frequent texts, picture updates and great exercise Completed the care for our dog. I could tell on pick up that our dog wasn’t stressed, nor eager to leave. Would definitely recommend Teaghan for her services and will use her again, myself, for any doggy sitting needs. Great work, keep it up!

Lots of love and care was shown for our furry family member while we were away. A+++ thank you again so much for watching her for us :)

Denai is the best! We had an amazing experience leaving our pup with Denai and her family over Christmas. She was well cared for and treated like a family member in the home. She sent us updates with pics and videos of her playing and having the best time while we were gone. She even came home with a bag of treats for Christmas! I highly recommend Denai- we will be using her from now on for all our pet sitting!! Thank you so much for providing the best care for our Gertie!! Denai

Laura and John are amazing! They have a beautiful home and a big fenced in yard for your pups to play. They have two beautiful and friendly golden retrievers who were great with our girl. Our pup, Skye, was spoiled in their care and it was very clear that they took her in as if she was one of their own. Laura kept in touch regularly and sent photos of our very happy girl. They took Skye to Gull Lake to swim and play which was above and beyond. Skye made herself right at home with Laura and John! We were incredibly pleased with the care and will definitely be asking Laura and John to watch Skye in the future.

Absolutely incredible people. They took such good care of Lola, sent me pics and made me feel good about her stay. Wonderful family with their own really great dogs. These folks have lots of experience with pet sitting and you could see and sense their comfort with bringing in dogs into their home. I would highly recommend them! I hope to use them again when I am back in Sylvan. Don’t hesitate to book with these guys, they were honestly great!
