“Elizaveta was nothing short of amazing! She provided frequent updates, was extremely accommodating, and treated Evy like she was part of her family. She will be the first person I reach out to going forward!”
“Maera really enjoyed her stay with Jodi! Jodi provided us with regular communications and photos and we were so happy to see that Maera settled right in with Jodi's dog Jina and cat. We highly recommend Jodi to our friends with fur kids.”
“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.”
“Teresa truly cared for my dog like one of her own! She updated me throughly with lots of pictures and made my dog feel so comfortable he was sad to leave her. She even sent treats home with him :) Highly recommend!!!”
“Adrianne was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Ben and Sky! From the very first update, we could tell they were in the best hands. She was so patient with their quirks (especially Ben’s big personality!) and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She kept us updated with the sweetest messages and photos, and it was clear how much time, care, and love she put into looking after them. It meant the world to us to know they were not only safe, but truly enjoying themselves while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — thank you, Adrianne, for everything! We’ll definitely be reaching out again!”
“This was our first experience using rover and now that we've found her, we're not using anyone else, she is amazing and our little (figuratively speaking, realistically he's pretty large lol) puppy loved her!”
“Sylvain took the time to meet and greet our pup as well as introduce her to his dogs. He provided lots of updates and our Tudou had a great time under his lovely care. Thank you!”
“Yuleizi took excellent care of my little one! Animosh can sometimes struggle with change and new people but seemed absolutely comfortable with Yuleizi and her home. I had great communication and got many pictures of my kitty. I would absolutely ask Yuleizi to watch my Ani again!”
“I rebooked Jospeh to take care of my senior dog. My pet enjoyed lots of love and affection while I was away. Jospeh sent me lots of pictures of my dog, and was flexible when my flight home was delayed. I’m so thankful he was able to take care of my dog the way I would!”
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.
“Anjali was awesome, made us feel super welcome and kept me updated hourly with photos and videos. Walked our pup and socialized her with her cat and other dogs on the walk. Our pup loves going to Anjali and gets very excited as we go towards their front door, I would definitely recommend Anjali!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thunder Bay
I was very nervous leaving my girl, she was a bit scared when we first dropped her off but she quickly opened up with Amanda and her little dog. She was very happy to have a buddy to play with and even did well with another bigger female which wasn’t the case in previous situations. I’m so happy she had a positive experience and the pictures and videos helped calm our minds and worries. Will definitely be booking again if we need boarding for Honey, thanks so much!
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.
