“My dogs are my world and Sylvia makes me feel comfortable leaving them in the care of someone else. One of my dogs is dog reactive so her knowledge and handling experience was a huge peace of mind for an anxious dog mama. She’s super easy to get in contact with and has great flexibility with my odd hybrid office schedule. I defintely recommend booking :)”
“Michael is terrific! Super nice guy and very conscious and respectful of our needs and our Chocolate Lab’s needs. As soon as you meet Michael, you feel an instant connection and a level of trust. Although we’ve only utilized his services as a “dog walker”, for those days we are at work, but we would definitely have Michael sit for Rodie for a weekend getaway or an extended vacation.”

“Erin has been the best for Hobbes. She’s on time and is very patient with him. He’s a big guy and likes to pull the leash but she handles him well. Would definitely recommend.”
About: While I'm new to Rover, I've been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family for years. I prioritize your animal’s comfort and routine by keeping things consistent, clean, and full of care. I follow your instructions closely - feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, favorite toys, and hiding spots included. As someone who LIVES for detailed updates and adorable photos of my own pets while I’m away, I’ll make sure you receive the same so you can feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for. I was recently laid off so my schedule is very flexible this summer! I have two cats of my own so pet care fits seamlessly into my current schedule. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing the patience, care, and individual attention they deserve while you're away. I'm always available by phone for questions or concerns.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 10! I attended puppy class and trained my family dog for over five years. Over the years I have provided care for the pets of friends and family! I currently work from home part time for McGill University with an extremely flexible schedule. I could be available for regular walking/drop in/sitting at any time that your pet needs! I will carefully and respectfully care for your fur babies in the comfort of their own familiar homes— patiently earning their trust and learning their habits and happy places.

About: I treat every dog like family and genuinely love being outdoors with them. Your pet gets my full attention, every time, I’m all about quality care. I am a middle school teacher and I am currently on summer break! I joined Rover because I have some free time in the summer and would love to spend it with some dogs:) I have a very flexible schedule since I am not doing my main job at the moment. I currenly live in an apartment on the third floor with two roomates who also love animals. I have an outdoor green area with fake grass I can take animals out to use the bathroom and play. I am also not far from the lake and many parks! I love to stay active and go on walks so know your pet will be taken care of to the best of my ability!
About: Our two elderly chihuahuas recently passed, they were 16 and 18. We miss them terribly and are excited about having some dog energy in our lives again. We will spoil you fur baby like he or she were our own. My boyfriend and I both work from home so your pet’s need can easily be met. Between the two of us we have a lot of love to give. We have all the pet supplies from our previous pets but feel free to bring your own as well. We have a dog run in the building as well.
