“Hilary is just a pleasure to have stopping to check up on our fur-baby. She is so flexible. Always takes fun pictures. And provides us with the piece of mind we were looking for.”
“I have never used this service before and was a little apprehensive. Andrea and Edwin did a fantastic job. The communication was great. The pictures they sent helped knowing my dog was taken care of. I would request them again.”
“Trish is friendly, dependable, reliable, and trustworthy. She has helped me out a couple of times in last minute situations willingly and helpfully, adding greatly to my peace of mind. My dog Cassie looked happy in the check in photos and seemed to have been well cared for and looked after.”
“Ella was wonderful and took such good care of our senior cat. With constant updates and photos, we felt comfortable that our cat was in good hands. We look forward to having you back!”
“Ashley is lovely! She is punctual, respectful, friendly, & absolutely loves our pup! She has done everything we’ve asked of her and is very helpful. Highly recommend her 😊”
About: I have been caring for dogs for 15 years. I recently lost my 2 Babies. One from old age & the other to cancer. I am not ready to adopt another at this time but absolutely love to be around dogs and give them lots of love and care. My family and friends often rely on me for taking care of their pets when needed. I have 1 1/2 years experience handling and grooming dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages. I am currently working M-F 8-2, I work just minutes away from my home. I am available any early mornings & afternoon/ evening during the week, and full availability on the weekends. I have an open floor plan, no stairs except for the 2 outside my front door, fully fenced in backyard & I have 2 extra large crates if needed.
“I had not met Nicole before she watched my cats. She did a great job caring for them and she was good about keeping me updated after each visit. I would definitely have her watch them again and recommend her to anyone needing their animals taken care of while away.”
About: I have had animals my entire life! Mostly dogs that have lived well into their teens, but also cats. Most recently I had my dog Bella for over 12 years and the last 3 we traveled the country try between Seattle and Miami by car. She unfortunately passed due to cancer and not ready to own an animal, but still love having them around . I am great at playing with animals to keep them engaged and teaching commands. I also can accommodate animals to their needs if they need medicine or special assistance. I work from home for an agency based in Canada. This means that your animal wouldn’t need to be locked up all day if they stay at my house my flexible schedule also also allows me to add walks in the day and play time so your dog isn’t in a crate all day. I also have a yard big enough for throwing sticks for added fun! I do have a fenced in yard that would allow for your dog to run around. I also wouldn’t mind going to someone’s house if I needed to as well as I am mobile.
“Abby has been great with our 3 dogs! We have a wild and unruly pup, a reactive and high-energy border collie, and an aging basset - so it's not exactly easy, yet she sure makes it seem that way. We hope to keep using her services as long as she wants to.”

Andrea and Edwin took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. I always felt at ease that he was receiving wonderful and attentive care even though our dog is older and takes several medications. I really appreciated their communication while we were gone.
Ashley and Kyle have watched our dog in their home several times, and have also done drop service to let our dog out during the day while we were out of town for several days. We trust them to take great care of our dog, and trust them to come into our home when we are away. We highly recommend them to whomever needs boarding or drop-in services. They are awesome!
Payton watched my cats while I was out of town. She came to meet my cats a couple days before I left town. She did an excellent job taking care of them while I was away. I will definitely have her watch them again sometime and would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.
Emily was amazing! She communicated daily, sent pictures of Frankie and Charlie, and took wonderful care of them while I was away. She fed them, cleaned the litter box, and gave Charlie his medication with no issues. She is kind, friendly, and trustworthy, and because of her I was able to truly relax and enjoy my vacation. I will absolutely use her again and highly recommend her!
This was my very first time using anything like Rover to help take care of my dog partner. Olivia Maximilianus lived up to, and beyond, any expectations I ever had; performing with brilliant helpfulness. Providing professional service above any idea of which that I had going into the situation of needing help feeding my four-legged relative, while I traveled. With the sonic intuition of a bat soaring through the night, she knew what I needed before I could even think of it. With the professional and timely voice of mourning dove, she was prompt and unbelievably reliable. With the cool and calm discipline of a crow crossing a wire over a field of peace lilies, bluegrasses, and dandelions, she left my home and space in a cleaner and more organised way than I had left it. And with the resilience and dedication of V-formed geese, my four-legged family was exercised and engaged in such a good way. Evidenced in her calm and content energy in my return home. Reminding me of the words from my favourite poet, Mary Oliver, in the last verse of her poem titled, October: “One morning the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, and didn’t see me- and I thought: so this is the world. I’m not in it. It is beautiful.”
Henry was wonderful! I'll be booking with them again, and I feel very safe leaving my cats in their care. They were punctual when we met up for me to show them the ropes, they listened and understood what I was asking for, and they exceeded my expectations of care once I returned! Thanks Henry, looking forward to booking with you again!!
Rachael is outstanding! I’m so happy we found her on Rover. She’s so good with our pets! She always prompt with their meals and sends us pictures daily. We get an update on each one individually so we know how they’re doing while we’re away. Five stars aren’t enough!! 😻
