“I am VERY happy with the attention paid to my little best friend. I would DEFINATELY go to this person again and I will DEFINATELY recommend this service and this person to provide care for their pet.”
“Paula was great with our cat. She is very reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She followed the few instructions carefully, sent regular updates and photos, and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was well taken care of while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Carlie had lots of fun with Rory. He took her on a nice walk at the tree farm and played with her a lot. Charlie came back home tired and happy. We will definitely use Rory again. 😊🐕”
“This was Stryker's second time 'vacationing' with Adrienne. He absolutely loves his time with her and it gives me comfort knowing he's well loved and cared for when I'm away. She was even so accommodating in extending his stay for another night so we could extend our family vacation. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Amanda is amazing. She took in our two bullmastiffs like they were her own for over a week and she made our trip away so much better knowing how well they were being taken care of. She sent us photos and updates of the girls frequently which was really nice and put us at ease. She is extremely trustworthy and we would not hesitate to leave our girls with her again. We feel very lucky to have found her and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks so much Amanda ❤️ we will definately be returning.”
“Jodi watched my 2 year old lab for 2 days and 1 night. She was wonderful, and even arranged for a meet and greet the week before his stay so that we could get to know her. She was so reassuring, you can tell that she knows what it’s like to leave behind your cherished pet. She took detailed notes when asking about my dog and sent lots of updates and pictures while I was away. Would recommend without hesitation. Thanks, Jodi!”
About: Ive had all kinds of pets my entire life. I've been doing rover consistently for the past 2 years. I just moved back to Thunder Bay and would love to meet you and your pets! ☺️I can walk dogs on and off leash and can even teach them a trick or two. I have a house with a fenced yard. Please let me know if your dog is aggressive because I have a small cat and a springer. Don't hesitate to reach out with any requests! I work weekend nights and I'm free all day during the week. I require at least 1 day advance notice but will make exceptions if needed! I walk my own dog daily and take her out multiple times a day ( shes very well house trained and will let me know) I spend a lot of time taking care of our animals whether that's feeding them, training them or just hanging out with them.
“Sylvain was absolutely wonderful!! He took great care to ensure he understood my dog's personality and needs and provided me with daily updates and pictures. I would absolutely leave my dog with him again and I highly recommend him to all pet owners. His care for animals and attention to the details of their well-being is very clear. Your dog is in great hands with Sylvain!”
“Nidhi was so friendly and easy to communicate with. Cheese really enjoyed his stay there. Nidhi regularly updated with photos and videos of cheese. She accommodated our need of dropping off cheese early.I really recommend her.”

Amanda was amazing with our Sophie! Sophie tends to be nervous around new people but she warmed up to Amanda and her family so fast! We felt comfortable our entire vacation knowing our girl was being taken care of in the best way! Amanda sent photo updates and videos which were awesome. So happy we found a caring pet sitter for our dogs. ❤️
King absolutely loves his stays with Adrienne! He is always so sad to leave because they have such a good time together. Since Christmas is coming up, they played dress up with some Christmas wear and King would rather chew it then wear his Santa hat! It’s always an absolutely pleasure to have Adrienne watch my baby while I go away for work.
