Richard was fantastic with our dog Rain, knew exactly how to give her the best experience and gave us peace of mind while we were away with frequent check ins and pictures of Rain having a great time. Need dog care in Collingwood? Don’t look anywhere else! Thanks Richard, see you next time.

I highly recommend trusting Richard to care for your pets. He watched my dogs for four days and was wonderful with them. I received updates at least once a day with pictures and videos. He walked them and played with them every day. I returned to very tired and happy pups. Richard also stayed in my house; it was as neat and tidy as I left it when I got home. I will absolutely be asking Richard to care for my dogs again in the future!

This was Richard’s first time looking after my dog, Lexie and he was extremely responsive and personable. He kept me up to date on how things were going and sent pics (which I love!). I will definitely be using Richard again.

Richard was a fantastic sitter for our girls. He sent lots of updates while we were away on vacation. One of our dogs can be quite nervous with new people, but his calm demeanor and experience shined through. I hope to hire him again:)

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.
