“This was my first time ever boarding Winnie and Monica put me so at ease with leaving him in her care. She even spent extra time to make sure my dog was comfortable with hers before I booked an overnight and she kept me informed on how he was doing with texts, photos and video. I would not hesitate to book a stay with her again!”

About: I will take care of your best friend like they are mine! I’m very familiar with training puppies and taking medical care of the old little guys too. Administering medications is a breeze and wound care is something I can do with my eyes closed. We have a huge park behind us. I love a good walk/run with a doggo too. I will get on the floor and roll around with them too! I currently work part time so my schedule is pretty available. My husband works from home and is 100% open. We are also a team when it comes to pet care. I ask you bring your doggos favorite toys so that while inside, we are still entertained. There is a huge park behind us that allows ample space for walks/jogs/runs. Dogs will stay leashed at all times for safety. When they come back inside, Bella the cat will bathe them. She’s a 16 year old little lady who loves all animals. If you are brining your cat, Bella will show them the biscuit factory and give them showers as well. All animals are treated like a family member; with love and respect. All needs will be fulfilled

“Wow! Just amazing. I wanted to give 10 stars ⭐️!! Melissa allowed for me to book at the last minute prior to vacation. Literally days! She has the sweetest energy and provides reassurance from the first moment of interaction. She put all my worries to rest as this was my first time boarding my pup. I will always call on Melissa as my furever sitter 🩵.”

“This was our second time using Rover, and I am so thankful we chose Charlette and her family. From the moment we dropped our dogs off, they fell in love — and honestly, so did we. Charlette was amazing. She followed everything I asked, kept me updated, and sent pictures so I always knew my babies were safe and happy. Her whole family treated my dogs like their own, and that meant the world to me. You can truly feel the love, the patience, and the care they put into watching them. I’ll definitely be booking with Charlette again. If you want someone who treats your dogs like family, she’s the one. We will definitely be booking her again.💕🐶”

“As all true dog lovers know, a dog is not just a pet, it is a member of the family. As such, I am very cautious about where and who I leave my dog with. As we had never had to leave our Violet with anyone, my wife and I were very worried when we had to leave our girl for almost 2 weeks. We did not feel comfortable boarding her at a kennel as we didn’t think she would respond well to that environment. So, we went to Rover to see if we could find someone we thought would be a good fit for our Violet. After reading multiple write ups on various Rover sitters, we found Erika who we thought looked like a good fit and was close to our home. At our meet and greet with Erika, my wife and I had perfect peace as we met with Erika and saw the home where Violet would be staying. Erika had a warm and inviting home, a fenced in backyard, and the perfect playmate, ( her dog Huxley) for our girl Violet. My wife and I decided immediately that this home and sitter would be the perfect fit for Violet. We were not disappointed! Erika loved our Violet as much as she loved her own dog and showered her with love and affection. She sent us daily pictures and videos of Violet and her dog playing, napping, and just having a wonderful time. She was having so much fun. We jokingly, worried that Violet wouldn’t want to come home with us after spending time with Erika. Ha Ha. In summary, any dog would be lucky to spend time with Erika. She is an amazing person and we were so happy we found her. This app only let me put in a rating of 5 stars, but if I could have, I would have put in 10 or more stars in rating her performance. We would definitely use Erika again in the future, if and when we needed to board our Violet. My only worry is that after reading my review of Erika, everyone will want to board with her and I won’t be able to have my Violet stay with her when I next need her. Ha ha.”

About: I've had pets for over 30 years. At one time there where 3 dogs and 3 cats in my household. My last cat was left to me a friend moving to Florida. He got along great right up to the end. All my pets enjoyed there life up till the end. I've never turned away a pet from any friend who couldn't keep them. Retired and an early riser. So available almost anytime of the day. From just taking them out for a walk to sitting with them for a day or more if needed I have a partialy fenced yard and a very friendly beagle in the house. She loves play dates with other dogs. With a porch which I sit out on regular basis in nice weather

“I would recommend Valerie! She took care of our big baby, a long-haired German Shepherd named Jaeger. She went above and beyond to administer his medication, give him treats and lots of love and even drove him home for us. She sends lots of pictures and gives frequent updates. Jaeger came back very happy and slept for days!”

About: I've owned dogs my entire life and have pet-sat for friends, neighbours and family. I am able to accommodate puppies and senior animals. Brushing and bathing are negotiable. I do not groom. My schedule is flexible. I can normally accommodate you with a bit of notice. Usually, any time after 9:00 is fine. I'm currently on leave from home support work due to injury as my job requires heavy lifting. Unless your yard is fenced, I insist on leashing. The field behind my home is great for walks but not fenced. My big dog loves to play with dogs but she can be placed in a separate room. I have a pen for pups or small dogs. Your dog(s) will get cuddles and play. I have a quiet room for shy cats, but your cat(s) can socialize with my 2 cats. My animals are all fixed. I can take exotic pets in your enclosure. My pen will give ample room to guinea pigs or rabbits. I can't separate small pet genders so please confirm in advance or bring your own cage.

Amanda was such a lifesaver for our family this past weekend. We had a death in the family and had to leave town rather urgently and Amanda responded so quickly and was immediately available to take care of our little Yorkie. She kept us up to date with photos all weekend and we felt very comfortable with Cooper staying with Amanda and her daughter. Thank you again Amanda!
