Dionne was excellent with our girls ❤️ I was able to relax while away knowing they were in such great care. Dogs were happy when we got home, house looked great. Will definitely be reaching out for care again in the future!

Dionne was so amazing and we will be using her over and over again! Our puppies loved her and she kept our house clean! I would highly recommend her :)

Dionne is an absolutely amazing sitter. Prince has had so much fun with her in the past, and always comes home super happy and sad to say goodbye🥺💕 I received many fun videos and silly photos of my boy! He had a blast going for walks, showing off his toys, and getting the best of treats and attention! It’s awesome having such a flexible sitter as well, especially for last minute sleepovers or additional days, Dionne has been very accommodating and happy to take him for an extra day or two! 100% will be recommending Dionne to all my dog parents, thank you so much Dionne! Prince will see you again soon!!!

Our very first time using Rover in a super last minute pinch and we couldn’t be happier with Dionne helping us out! She replied fast on a late evening and was able to accommodate our two pups the very next afternoon. Our Doxie can have really bad separation anxiety and Dionne’s calm presence kept her cool and calm. I could tell when we pick her up that she didn’t feel stressed or anxious with us away!! Such a nice feeling and successful first stay with Dionne! The pictures of the pups relaxing with her helped ease any anxiety knowing they were happy and cared for. We would definitely rebook with Dionne again! 10/10

Dionne is an incredibly caring person that puts all dogs before herself! Her pup Shelby gets along with our dog so well, they’re like siblings. She never forgets an appointment, misses a feeding, or goes for a short walk. She cares for dogs like they’re her own children, just like I do. She also offered me her cleaning services while house-sitting, which was amazing! She has a professional background, but doesn’t overcharge, and there’s nothing better than returning from a trip to a freshly cleaned house. Will happily continue hiring her for the foreseeable future!

Schedule

I have been housesitting for friends and family a long time, I used to be a property maintenance manager, and now I am doing a course online.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dionne can host up to 1 pet per night
I like to know their daily routine, energy level, fears and favourite activities. Tell me about their feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and how they interact with new people or other pets. The more details I know, the better I can keep their routine consistent and make them feel secure and loved.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
