“Alyson was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates while watching my cat and it was clear he was having a great time. She asked questions and was super responsive - would definitely recommend booking with her and I will book again!”
“Anna is absolutely our dream sitter for our very playful and energetic border collie, Atlas. She and her husband gave Atlas so much love and attention everyday. Anna voluntarily sent us many lovely photos and videos of our pup as well as detailed updates daily. They loved Atlas as if she was their own, and we could tell how happy Atlas was staying with them. We felt at ease every day knowing that Atlas was under the care of such a wonderful and caring couple. We believe Atlas was on her own vacation! Thank you again. Atlas cannot wait to see them again. 😄”
“Alix was amazing! She looked after Loki and took care of his special needs, she was friendly and caring. Will definitely seek her again when we need dog sitting support again.”
“We've used Rover sitters many times, and Yick-hong is one of the best! He clearly loves dogs and was great with our four-year old beagle Ruthie. He took her for a variety of walks, gave her doggie puzzles to solve, and snuggled with her on the couch. He sent us photos and videos two or three times a day. Will definitely call on him again to take care of our pooch.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”
“Indie had a great stay with Lace and Tynan. Lace was very responsive, easy to communicate with and took great care of Indie, who returned home happy. And it looks like she had lots in common with her new buddy Tynan.”
“We will certainly continue to turn to Kira for boarding help with our pup. The huge yard is exactly what our Brittany spaniel needs for exercise. Kira is both knowledgeable and calm with the dogs. Unlike previous boarding experiences, Quinna came home calm and rested. A+”

About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.
“Qiang took very good care of my dog for 4 days while I was gone. He sent me a photo every day and was very good about communicating and responding to any questions I had.”
“We love Delayni. She has taken care of our dog about three or four different times now. Each time our pup is happy to greet her and we know she is in great care. Delayni sends photos and videos while we are away and it is always appreciated. Delayni is also very flexible with pick up and drop off times.”
“Hannah took amazing care of my dog Milo for the weekend while I attended a wedding. She kept me updated and sent pictures which made me feel so reassured while being away. This was Milo’s first time staying anywhere other than with family or at the vet overnight. He came home so tired because he had the best weekend with Hannah and the other dogs playing. In the past after staying at the vet he would come back super anxious, but after staying with Hannah he was the complete opposite, just so happy and relaxed like his normal self. She really cares about your dog and makes sure they are comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone and can’t wait for her to watch him in the future!”
“Wanda was great! Our back-to-town flightly was delayed quite a lot. She was very thoughtful and flexitble with time. Our dog seems very happy!”
“Claudine was very conscientious and had very good communication. She sent a lot of pictures of Hudson getting exercise, having fun and playing, he looked very happy. Claudine was also very flexible when our flight was delayed she made special arrangements to accommodate us.”
“I can’t say enough about Grady’s awesome stay with Karin and her husband. Grady felt right at home and I got lots of updates which made us feel even more comfortable leaving her. In the past I had only left her with our friend before this so I was very nervous. It was a very positive experience and she was well taken care of. I will definitely use Karin again.”
“Kennedy, our golden retriever, always has the best time at Jings! We know that Kennedy is always in good hands with Jing and her family as they truly treat Kennedy like one of their own. Jing keeps us updated with pictures and her communication is fantastic. We will continue to be repeat clients - cannot recommend her enough!”
