“Tiffany and Dustin went above and beyond to accommodate for Tenly. They cared for her as if she were their own. They will definitely be my first choice to care for Tenly in the future.”
“Chloe was welcoming, warm and understanding of our elderly male dog. She sent us regular updates of how he was adjusting and pictures of him relaxing in her home. We felt very comfortable leaving our sensitive boy in her care and would book with her again in a heartbeat”
“I can't say enough about Karen, from the meet n great through the entire stay. She was very thorough with details and communication. She welcomed my fur baby into her home and loved him like her own. She did an amazing job keeping him in his daily routine. This was the first time he has stayed with anyone other than family and I could not be happier. The daily updates and photos helped me enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands! I could tell with the photos that he was really loved and super happy. I look forward to booking more stays and highly recommend her and her family.”
“Nicole & Derek did a great job caring for our two frenchies while we were gone. I met with them briefly for a meet and greet a few days before and they were wonderful! They sent pictures and texts each day to let us know how it was going. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“We feel that Haley and her family did an outstanding job with Maggie. Haley sent lots of daily pictures and always kept us updated. We would definitely recommend Haley to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog. As long as she's still participating in Rover, we will continue to use Haley and her family. Maggie felt at home in their home. Thank you Haley for taking great care of Maggie.”
“Mark and Marie did a wonderful job getting our old girl Sasha to feel comfortable and safe. I had never left her with anyone but family before so I was worried until our first meet and greet. She was so comfortable right from the start. The pictures they sent while we were gone showed she had a great time! We will definitely use them in the future.”
“Luke and Rachel are phenomenal dog sitters! They took great care of our sweet girl for a 5-day stay. Great communication. Ripley seemed happy in the photos and when we picked her up. We felt that she was well-loved during her stay! Ripley can't wait to be back and we definitely plan on using Luke and Rachel again soon. Thanks again!”

“My pups recently had the pleasure of staying with Jenna, and we couldn't be more impressed! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Throughout the entire sitting period, Jenna provided regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond, ensuring they were well-loved and exercised, entertained and happy. I highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. My pups and I are both looking forward to our next booking!”
“We have used Carolyn and Kristopher 3 times. Once for daycare and twice for a longer stay. They are amazing. Between making sure Gunner gets plenty of exercise and attention they keep in close contact with us. I get updates with pictures each day. I think he loves it at their house so much he might want to live there. It’s so nice to be able to leave him and know that he is loved and cared for while we are away. Wonderful people and pet lovers.”
“Tammy was amazing. I think it says a lot about our the sitter when you pup wants to stay and is hesitant to go home. Tammy will be at the top of our list any time we need someone to watch our pup when we go out of town.”
“Merlin had a great time at Krista's. She sent updates and photos throughout the weekend, so we could see that he wasn't missing us at all. She is knowledgeable about dogs, how to interact with them, and how to care for them. We will definitely book with her again.”
“We love Talishia! Telus is always SO happy to spend time with her. She really cares for him and is always happy to see him. We are really lucky to have a dog sitter like Talishia!”
