“Andrea and Sergio took care of our senior dog Ferguson, and he seemed to have a great time with them! They sent daily updates and photos, and made great efforts to feed our picky boy and ensured he got all his medications.”
“Andrew was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. His professionalism up front really inspired trust, and once we made a solid connection at the meet and greet, I knew Luna was going to be in good hands. She absolutely was treated like gold. The communication was reliable and flexible. All the photos he shared showed a very happy dog! I would 100% choose to board Luna with Andrew and his lovely partner again any time.”

“Ranah & Franki were amazing with our 1.5 yr old labradoodle X. They took care of Maple as if she was there own, but even better. Maple had the best time while we were out of country. We couldn’t have had a better first time Rover dog sitting experience. A huge thank you to Ranah and Franki! I would absolutely recommend their services for anyone looking for a fabulous dog sitter.”

About: I I’ve had the joy of being a devoted dog owner for over 20 years, and caring for dogs has been a meaningful part of my life throughout adulthood. Having also worked with dogs in a professional capacity at a Doggy Daycare for a year when I lived overseas taught me a lot about the importance of building relationships with families who put trust in others to care for their dogs. Over the years, I’ve also regularly cared for the dogs of friends and family, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, breeds, energy levels, and individual needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to make each pup feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. Whether it’s a playful adventure, a relaxing afternoon, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply some extra cuddles and companionship, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I currently do not have a dog so am in a position to give the dogs I care for my undivided attention. For me, dog sitting isn’t just a service—it’s an opportunity to provide the same love, attention, patience, and dependable care that I would want for any family member being cared for. After all, dogs are people too! I live a 15 minute walk away from work and get a one hour lunch break every day, so will come home midday for a walk. I work full time Monday to Friday. I live in a very secure condo and will ensure diligence with the number of washroom breaks and walks your dog needs. As each dog’s needs are unique, I will take your lead on how many pee breaks and walks your dog needs.
“Lisa was fantastic with Luca- regularly providing us with status updates including videos and pictures. Highly recommended and will surely use her again in the future! Vince & Lauren”
“JM was an amazing dog sitter for Lulu! From the very beginning, JM was reliable, caring, and attentive, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Lulu was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of love and attention. JM kept us updated with regular messages and photos, creative, beautiful journal entries, and it was obvious that Lulu felt comfortable and safe. I truly appreciated the professionalism, great communication, and genuine care shown throughout the stay. JM is a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Lulu—we would be happy to book with you again!”
“Thanks Michael and Jim, for taking such good care of Leo! We could tell from all the photos you sent how happy and relaxed he was with you, and appreciate all the walks and cuddles you gave him. We look forward to having him stay with you again soon!”
“Zaid was fabulous with Simon! My big boy can have some separation anxiety, so finding somewhere he can stay and enjoy his time without me is so helpful. Zaid was super flexible on timing, shared lots of great feedback and photos, and was just an overall great experience. Speaking for Simon, I know he’ll be back to hang out with Zaid.”
“Michelle took good care of my dog but she is best suited for medium/light weight dogs. I have a golden which she was looking after and my dog decided to throw tantrums asking for longer walks, sleeping on road which requires more strength for handling giving her a hard time. I got regular updates from her for my booking.”

Guy & Zol are great! My dog practically runs out of my car whenever he gets to stay with them. It makes me so happy to have sitters I completely trust to watch my dog when I travel and they send the best updates! They take my pup on adventures and to all the greatest coffee shops around town.
Jungho and his family are amazing! Lua had a great time! She was super happy and comfortable in their home. Jungho sent us updates throughout her stay which we appreciated so much and really put our minds at ease. We were so happy with the love and care provided to our little furry baby :)
We’re so happy we found Zaid! 🥰 He is kind, caring and thoughtful. He kept us updated with lovely pictures and Sunny looked so happy and comfortable with him. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands🙏 Thank you Zaid for taking such great care of our girl! Sunny will definitely be seeing you again! 🐶❤️🐾
Sakiko is the best! Maestro loves going over to their place and hanging out with Jack. Maestro gets regular walks and lots of playtime in the park. Sakiko sends regular updates as well as pictures and videos! I have complete peace of mind when Maestro is in her care!
I could tell right away that Polly and Rez are such great, trustworthy people, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Hazel in their care. The regular photo updates were much appreciated and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter for their dog!
Odis first time staying with Nam. We couldn't be happier with the experience. 3 nights went by and was very well taken care of. I think he's got better treatment there than at home. 😂 Nam was wonderful, and it gave us peace of mind knowing Odis was in good hands. Highly recommended!
Rishabh was fantastic with Doug! He was always friendly, helpful and quick to respond to any messages, which gave us great peace of mind. He took Doug on a hike and even sent us lovely photos of him relaxing on the sofa with Moon, which was so nice to see while we were away. It was clear that Doug was in great hands, and we really appreciated the care and communication throughout. We would absolutely recommend Rishabh to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking him again!
We're so glad to have found Dean to look after our cockapoo Poppy! He made a great first impression by taking the time to meet with us and Poppy, to ensure we'd be a good fit for his space and pack. Poppy can be nervous around new people - especially men - but she gravitated toward him naturally and eagerly. Dean's care and respect for the dogs he looks after was evident throughout our interactions with him, and not only did she spend a wonderful weekend with her but we came away with some excellent advice for her dietary health and wellbeing. We wouldn't (and won't) hesitate to book with Dean again. Thank you!
Sarah was great with little Moo. She provided consistent updates whether through pics, video and general feedback on her daily wellness. Sarah was very attentive throughout with my dog and as an owner, it put me at ease during my work travels. Your pet is in good hands with Sarah!
I went on vacation for 9 nights and grateful for the care Arjun provided to Kenzie. When I arrived he welcomed me inside to show me the living room and deck - which was very spacious! He sent daily videos of walks and Kenzie playing in a field off leash with another dog. I could see that she was receiving great care and doing well :).
Olivia is absolutely amazing! This is our second time using her and I can’t recommend her more. Her space is so cozy and safe for dogs with the perfect backyard and she is so caring. We got daily updates and pictures and we never once had to worry about if our dogs were okay with Olivia. She was so flexible and able to accommodate multiple last minute requests with no problem. When we’re back in the area we would definitely even go out of our way to book with her again!
Kirsty was excellent with our dog Ellie. We left Ellie with her for 2 weeks while on vacation, and received regular updates. She gave Ellie special attention, making sure she adjusted well, taking her for walks separate from her own dog at first to make sure she got familiar with her and the area, etc. We would highly recommend Kirsty to others in the future. Thanks for giving us peace of mind while on vacation!
