“All I can say is WOW!!! We had to go out of town during all the bad weather and storms. They kept in touch with us before boarding our dog Jake. They had lost power due to the storms but still went ahead and said bring Jake over. Jake and their dog Rosie played in their backyard and went on walks, they sent pictures and videos of the dogs playing and just hanging out. We did not know how Jake would do with a little baby but both were fine. The baby finally warmed up to Jake on last day. All this time and no power. Picked up Jake Sunday morning he was sad to leave but was happy to come home. He is resting after all the excitement of being them. We will definitely use them again in future for boarding and will even explore daycare options with them. Thank you again for all that you did, it was very much appreciated.”

“They were flexible, adapted their house to my dog's physical condition, and sent pictures/news every day. Gave me peace of mind while I was visiting my mother.”

“Amelia and Grant were absolutely fantastic. My dog likes just about everyone, but I could tell that she LOVED her time with them. She was so content from the first second she walked in and was so relaxed when I picked her up. Their home is clean, calm and safe. 10/10.”

“Courtney was AMAZING. We left Schatzi with her for a week and she provided perfect care for our bubs! She messaged us each day with pictures, and informed us of how he was doing. I am so thankful to know our dog was taken care of while we were gone. I actually think Schatzi was sad to leave her side as well, he absolutely loved her. She has been our favorite sitter for him and would love to have her watch Schatzi again!”

“Florence did an awesome job with Gio…. Will definitely use her again I hope our schedules align going forward. I was very impressed and can’t say enough great things about her service. Gio loves her and her family.. Thank you for doing an awesome job and keeping me posted while I was away!”

“Having a great pet sitter that gives regular updates while you’re away gives you such peace of mind. I was completely at ease when Frances was watching Marley. Thanks for taking great care of my baby”

“John took great care of my dog and was excellent at communication. He even took my dog out for a pup cup on my dogs birthday! We definitely will be rebooking him for any future trips.”

“Melissa is PHENOMENAL!! I think my pup would prefer to say with her if he could 😂 It was very clear that Melissa loves all dogs, and treats them as her own. She went above and beyond, sent lots of photos, and gave my dog the best vacation of his life. He got lots of exercise, and was a very happy boy. I am so grateful we found Melissa. Best experience I’ve had on Rover! 10000/10 stars, I fully recommend!”

“Leigh is the furfect sitter for our boy! She is incredibly flexible and responds to messages right away. Our original pet sitter canceled on the day of our booking, and we had to find someone last minute. We’re so thankful that Leigh replied immediately and was able to help us out. From the moment our boy arrived at her place, he felt comfortable and happy and he didn’t hesitate at all to start playing in her yard, which really showed us what a kind and welcoming person she is. Leigh kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed the schedule we provided perfectly and made sure he got lots of playtime and attention. Knowing that our boy was having fun and being well cared for made us feel completely at ease. We would absolutely book Leigh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”

“Jamie was great with my dog, communication was great and she kept me informed on everything with photos included. Great fun she was able to help me travel with a sense of ease during my last minute trip. 10 out of 10”

“Natalie and her husband took care of my three sweet rugrats very well! She was generous to let all three sleep in their bed as well. I appreciate them so much and will definitely be using them again when a trip comes up. Thank you guys!!!”


About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with puppies, including basic training reinforcement, potty routines, and high-energy play, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication support, or extra patience and comfort. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Because I’m organized and reliable, I’m able to stick closely to pets’ normal routines, which helps them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or in their own. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I keep a clean, safe environment and closely monitor each pet’s behavior, comfort, and needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“I had a lot of anxiety leaving my pup for the very first time and Russell did an amazing job with her! I would highly recommend him for your pet’s care! She was very well taken care of and he played with her, took her on walks and made her feel right at home. She is a high energy dog and he did fantastic with her!”

“10 out of 10! Erica is absolutely amazing. I use her regularly for boarding my pup when I travel for work. He LOVES it! Erica goes above and beyond with her service. She sends me photos, updates, and my pup has plenty of friends to play with when he’s with her and she never returns him to me empty handed.”

I am not the type of sitter to not give them attention and not be home all day or leave them in cages all day. I love animals so I’m definitely able to give them my full attention and able to play with them and care for them the way it’s needed I also do offer add-on services like baths and basic pet grooming, I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 from big to little sizes I’ve also had a variety of pets I’ve had dogs, fish, and birds so I can say when it comes to animals I’m pretty experienced and responsible with them over the years I also love animals and hope to be a vet one day so this just isn’t a job it makes me happy to do what I love which is this. When your pets are with me I will treat them with care like their family. I’m young so I’m very able to walk and run and play with your dog as much as possible, i know every dog is different and requires different attention which I’m okay and skilled to handle with I’m currently in school, but I am doing online so I have a lot of free time flexibility and I am available any day throughout any time I live in a loft apartments but my neighbourhood is very pet friendly there’s plenty of space to walk your dogs and for them be, I also have a small dog of my own so your pet will definitely be able to make a little friend.

About: Our family has a dauschaund for 15 years that passed in August. She was provided so much love and care. I'm not afraid to help feel meds to your pup to keep them happy and healthy. We now have two pomeranian/ chihuahua mixes. One is about half way through his training to be a service dog and hopefully a therapy dog. He loves learning and putting that work vest on. His sister is a year younger and lives to play and snuggle. We loved boarding our friends dog, and both Rupert and Mabel get along with their pup friends. And they all love running around our fully fenced backyard. Our family has also had cats off and on for over 20 years. While I know they are laid back and are happy with an empty litter box and a full food bowl, they like getting the extra love and attention to. So whether it's with a toy on a stick, balls on the ground, or even some gentle pets they need love while your away also. I would love to help care for your four legged family member. While in my care, they would be treated like one of the family. I currently work part-time from home. I would be available to help your four legged family member before 7am and after 12 noon. The only other thing that keeps me busy is the training with Rupert, and playing and snuggling with Mabel, but it's flexible. I am asking to care for smaller dogs only because of some medical restrictions. With a small dog I will have no problem walking them, cleaning up after them, and crating if needed. But most of all I will be able to play with them to help burn off energy.
“This was our first time using rover and we had a fair amount of anxiety, our dog Cooper tends to be timid and shy in new environments. But, he did great. Lauren and her family were awesome and we will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Janet was amazing with my baby snowflake. She send me pictures every day. give me updates also on a daily basis, She even showered her before I got there. She took good care of her. I wouldn’t recommend her to all my friends now I have a new home to take my snowflake while I’m on vacation. Thank you so much.”
