“Jude was awesome with our three big dogs! I didn’t worry once while she was there and she even left our home cleaner than we left it for her! 11/10 would recommend and book again!”
“We are so grateful to have found Samantha! She did a meet and greet to meet our dog and cats, and the day of our vacation she came over before we left. Our dog ran over to her and wagged his tail so happy to see her. She did a great job of communicating throughout each day and sent a lot of pictures which I liked. When we returned, all of the pets were happy, had clean dishes and litter boxes, and our home was as if we never left. We’ll definitely be using Samantha again and highly recommend!”
“I recommend Dani to take care of your fur babies, I was very nervous leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of him as if he was her own. We will definitely use her again.”
“We had a great experience with Rachel! She came to our hotel and stayed with our Luca, for about four hours while we were out. She walked him, kept him hydrated, and made sure he was entertained the entire time. She was so sweet and gentle with him—truly wonderful. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren took such good care of our boxer Walter and our home while we were away. Very thorough and communicative leading up to and throughout the stay. Would definitely book with Lauren again.”
“Kayla was the best!!! She is extremely loving with my animals and did an excellent job taking care of them when I was out of town. Tons of pictures and updates!!! She was great!!!”
“We were looking for someone to not only treat our pets as their own but someone we could trust and feel comfortable having them house set with our pets. We were fortunate enough to find that in Wendy. She’s thoughtful, conscientious, and friendly. She took good care of our pets and provided updates throughout the week. She gets 5 stars from us. We will definitely use her again.”
About: No discrimination here! I love all sizes, breeds, and ages. With over 20 years of experience, I have grown up with dogs pretty much my entire life. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own. We like to start and end every day with potty breaks along with atleast two walks per day. We allow your children to sit and sleep wherever they like. I am currently working full-time (about 15 minutes away from home), but my boyfriend (also a Rover sitter) works from home and can do daily potty breaks if needed.
“Kristen is the original dog whisperer. She’s amazing. Our Archie can be a challenge but he loved her and listened well. Thank you for such a great experience Kristen. You are awesome!”
“Amelie truly came in clutch when another dog sitter canceled 5 days before my trip. I couldn't have asked for a better person! She was amazing with my HUGE grumpy older dog and my HYPER younger 2 year old...and did I mention they are Rotties?!! She was amazing from start to finish. This is truly the first time I came home from a trip and the dogs seemed well loved and taken care of, no anxiety from them at all. Thanks, Amelie! Rover friends, look no further and book her now...just not when I need her ; )”
About: I have always cared and taken care of neighbours and family friends dogs, which then lead to working at greenlin pet resort! I am very knowledgeable on body language and dog behaviours along with having great patience towards new pups and older pups. I also have an amazing attention span and lots of energy to walk and play with your dogs! Apart from caring for my own fur pup, on off days I’m available mornings-evenings. Also allowing time for pet care, evenings of my work days! Depending on the vibe and mood of your pet, I work around them! Only endorsing healthy and fun behaviour. I let them decide what is too much and just enough (walks, playing, rubs, tricks, etc).
“Emma was wonderful! I felt reassured my 2 dogs were in good hands. She took great care of them and will definitely call on her again for dog sitting! Thank you for making my vacation carefree by not having to worry about my girls! Thank you very much!”
“I have a rescue dog that can be unpredictable and she is also somewhat fearful of strangers, but she liked Emily right away and I was able to travel without any worry about my dog being happy and cared for at home! It was a real blessing to find Emily and I will definitely call her the next time I have to travel! I can highly recommend her as a responsible and caring dog sitter!”
About: People have always told me that I am comparable caring even to pets. They deserve every bit of kindness just like people! A safe and reliable environment at your home! I am able to walk and feed the animals before I go to work and after I come home. As well as having off on Monday& Tuesdays. I can walk and feed your pets in the morning, throughout the day when I’m off I can show them the attention and love they need. I will make sure they always have fresh food&water. As well as making them feel at home when They are away!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14; I’ve trained and cared for my golden as well as the four cats in my household. I’ve also started taking on strays! I work full time over the week and I am more than capable making any stops from work or even filling up my weekends taking care of your pet. I am very flexible with instructions if need be. I’ll take care of your dogs or cats with care and diligence. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a wonderful neighborhood that I can walk your pet in.
“Mikayla was just what my dog needed! He has anxiety and some medical issues, and she handled it all. He loved her and can't wait to have her house sit again! Plus I got plenty of pictures and updates while I was away.”
“I couldn’t recommend Victoria enough! My dog loves her and loves spending time with her. She sends plenty of photos and updates during our time away from our dog and is super sweet to him!!”
