“Maggie was wonderful. Bailey was taken care of so well. Maggie is very easy going and kept us in the loop with updates and pictures. Trustworthy and dependable. I would recommend her.”


“Jenna was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home and took care of our 14-week-old puppy, our 1.5-year-old dog, and our 6-year-old cat — and she handled everything perfectly. She sent us frequent updates and the most beautiful photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious our pets were happy, loved, and in great hands the whole time. We came home to a spotless house that looked like it hadn't even been lived in — such a wonderful surprise. Jenna truly went above and beyond, and we can’t thank her enough. We’ll 100% be booking her again!”

About: I was raised around animals, so from an early age I learned how to care for them, including dogs and puppies. I have monitored a yelping momma dog and looked after her and her pups, as well as many other puppies and dogs of various breeds and ages. I love animals, so it's not a job to me, it's an enjoyable hobby. 😊 I currently work part-time, so I have a lot of availability and time to look after your pupper! Any chance I get to spend time with a dog makes my day, so I'm happy to do whatever is necessary. I'm happy to care for your pet in their own home where they are most comfortable. I have plenty of experience caring for pets, as well as house-sitting. I'm very flexible, so I'm happy to do whatever is required for your pet.

About: I have had dogs my whole life! From Shih Tzus to German Shepherds. Growing up, I was responsible for walking, bathing, feeding and cleaning up after my pets. Our dogs are family, and I always loved taking care of them as such. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve trained puppies and cared for very senior dogs, and I have loved them all the same. I work from home full time, with a very flexible schedule. I can be available during the morning, day or evening, weekdays and weekends. My schedule allows me to take time out of my day when I need to, aka to walk your pup! I am very respectful of your space and how you typically care for you pets. The way you like things to be in your home with your pets is the way things will stay!

“We were a bit anxious to leave our boys with a new sitter after having the same sitter for the last 3.5 years, but it turns out we had nothing to worry about! Kathleen was very responsive, sent us pictures and videos of our boys often, listened to instructions, and gave our doggos lots of love and care. We liked her so much we are having her back again later this week!”


“Our 3 little boys loved having a sleepover with their new friend. Hallie was so great with updating us on everything, super friendly and definitely going to get her to look after our animals again. Highly recommend!!”


“This was my first time using Rover but it will definitely not be my last. I was a little nervous leaving my pup with a stranger however I had friend use the app and told me about training/background checks. I had family visiting from out of town & wanted to spend the evening with them but my pup was spayed last week so didn’t want to leave her alone and wanted for her to stay at our home. The communication prior with Elena was excellent. As soon as I met her, I knew my pup was in the best hands & was instantly reassured. My pup is a pretty good judge of character & it was obvious she picked up on Elena’s calm presence. Elena sent me pics & updates. I can’t thank Elena enough!! Highly highly recommend.....I’ve already recommended her to friends & will be using her again!! Thank you!! Kelly & Mya ?”

About: I have a huge passion for animals, especially dogs. I love keeping animals happy, and I'll love your dog like it's my own. I've had dogs my whole life, and I love the outdoors and walking. I'll make sure your dog gets lots of exercise, and I'll keep the walks fresh and new, bringing your dog to many different trails. I am completely comfortable with all sorts of dogs. I used to own a mix named Tickey, a Golden Retriver named Daisy, a King Charles Spaniel named Katie, and I now own a Portuguese Water Dog named Odin. I’ve done some dog walking for people while they were travelling for a few weeks and absolutely loved it. I cannot wait to meet your dog! I love making new friends, I feel like I have a special connection with animals because I am open and 100% comfortable. I work as a barista and am off almost every Monday, Thursday and Sunday. So I can walk anytime on those days. On days that I work I walk Odin every afternoon when I get off at 3, so I can walk your dog/s with Odin, or separately afterwards I have a fenced in yard that is all grass and it is always mowed and fully cleaned. I also have woods right behind my house that is great for walking

“Heather was fantastic! It’s always difficult to leave gus’ in the care of someone new because his eyesight and his interesting little personality but Heather took fantastic care of him. Definitely recommend. 🥰”


About: Hey there, my name is Alyssa & I fist started working with dogs 8 years ago, daycare/boarding. I absolutely fell in love & decided this was mu career with that I’ve been grooming dogs for the last 7 years. I have years of experience with dog language and behaviours. I absolutely love my job & all the beans I look after, they have all become part of our family! Im currently working part time as a dog groomer, I make my own schedule so I’m usually pretty flexible with being able to get home to let boarders out for a break & pee I have a big back yard that’s not fenced in but I have lots of tie outs throughout the yard for them to get lots of run/play time outside! I do crate them when they need to be left alone for any reason at all, they are never crated for very long. I can offer a freshly groomed pup on pickup if you choose at an additional price, depending on breed & size of dog! When I board we are usually pretty adventurous and go for walks/hikes with lots of pictures provided!

About: My love and passion for animals started as a kid where I grew up on a big farm in Manitoba, so I’ve been around all kinds of animals my whole life and have dealt with every type of situation and problem an animal may have. People often tell me I have a natural ability in knowing how to care for animals. I often dog sit for friends and family where responsibilities include feeding, walking, bathing, enrichment, and overnight sitting. I have experience with hyper and untrained puppies as well as more large and active breeds like the Great Dane and Australian shepherd. I previously had my own German Shepard mix but currently I just have my 2 yr old pup Kanie. She’s a curr mix. Currently I’m not working so I have lots of spare time that I would love to fill with caring for and playing with your pups! My number one priority will always be your animals safety and well being. Your fur baby will never be left unsupervised. Its important to me to also “listen” to a dogs cues and what they’re trying to tell you, because they will always tell you want they need/want.
