“Courtney and Ryan we're the absolute best care for my dog. I received constant updates and photos of the time Levi spent with them. I know Levi will be thrilled to go back. Thank you so much Courtney and Ryan for looking after my dog like part of your family!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for over 25 years and understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m an empty nester and home throughout the day, so your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, companionship, outdoor time and affection. My home in Port Stanley is quiet and pet-free, with a large fully fenced yard where your dog can safely enjoy plenty of fresh air and playtime. I only host dogs from one family at a time, making my home especially comfortable for dogs who may not enjoy a busy kennel or being around unfamiliar pets. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine and provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re being well cared for. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with family. ❤️ I’m home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship, attention and outdoor time. I’m available for both overnight boarding and doggy daycare throughout the week. With a large fenced yard, frequent potty breaks and playtime are easy to fit into our day. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routine so they feel comfortable and at home. I provide a quiet, comfortable, pet-free home with a large fully fenced yard where your dog can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I only host dogs from one family at a time, so your dog receives plenty of individual attention without being surrounded by unfamiliar pets. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, medications, walks and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates throughout their stay.
“Gudrun was able to accommodate our last minute request and was incredibly understanding of our unique situation. Our cat Tank was well cared for and loved. We received pictures and updates throughout his stay which made our separation easier. All in all it was a great experience and we would recommend Gudrun without hesitation. Thank you for caring for our furbaby, Tank is planning a return visit later this year.”
About: Grew up with and around dogs. My brother and his chocolate lab are moved out now. I would love to have a dog of my own one day. Hoping to fill the void until then by giving this a try. I currently work full time. I am available from 5pm onwards through out the week for walking. My home is available on weekends for sitting/overnight stays. I live in the country with a large yard and woods behind my house. Great for walks and playing. Dogs are welcome everywhere in house except bedrooms.
“Jenn is an amazing caring dog person! She is very friendly and responsive. We could tell by the pictures she sent that Hazel was having a great time! Highly recommend Jenn and we will definitely use her again!”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
You and your West Elgin sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
