“Michelle was fantastic! Our dogs felt completely comfortable with her, and she kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos. We really appreciate the extra care - she even took them on a walk.”

“Amie watched my dog for daycare and was wonderful to work with! She made special accommodations for my dog, who is dog reactive. Amie sent frequent updates and was easy to communicate with. It was clear my dog was well taken care of!”

“Our pup came home exhausted and happy after a full day with Carmen and Taco! She sent us lots of picture updates that were just so cute. Loved how flexible and responsive Carmen is, and Maisie clearly bonded with her in just a short amount of time. We will definitely be back!”

“We love Lorena! My dog is always so happy and excited to see her. I know he feels safe and at home during his stays. When he comes home he’s always calm and relaxed like he’s had the best day. We feel so lucky to have found her!”


About: 🐕 I get it — your dog Is your best friend. I work from home, so I’m here all day for belly rubs, long walks, and neighborhood adventures. I only take one Rover dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention. Dogs are welcome on the couch — and pretty much anywhere they feel comfortable. My own dog is friendly and playful and is an Einstein when it comes to sensing when another dog needs space. My house has a yard and has a laid back Summer Camp vibe. ❤️ I am self-employed and work from home. Your dog will have my attention throughout the day. My schedule’s flexible, so I can stick to your dog’s routine. Your dogs needs are my perfect excuse to procrastinate. Neighborhood walks, playing fetch in the yard will give your dog lots of steady, loving attention throughout the day. 🏡 Safety and comfort are everything here. I live in my own home, and your dog will have full run of the space — no crates (unless requested), no off-limits furniture, and plenty of cozy places to relax. I only host one guest dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and a peaceful, low-stress environment. I do have one friendly resident dog who’s used to sharing and enjoys having new siblings. I always introduce dogs slowly to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your dog will be treated like family — with lots of love, supervision, and space to just be a dog.
“Kenny was great! He provided regular updates, was on-time for pick up and drop off, and provided special care for our dog who has a few unique needs. Our dog came home calm and happy. We hope to book with Kenny again!”

“Melissa is the absolute best. Caring, understanding of dogs, highly responsible and responsive. We couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of our pup.”

About: I've taken care of dogs throughout my life and love the joy and sweetness they bring. I am trained in massage therapy and all of my dog friends love me the most:) We don't have any pets currently so we'd be delighted to play with yours. Responsible, organized and can adapt to your family's needs. I would love to help out! I currently work from home two days per week (M, Th) and have a flexible schedule otherwise where I can be home for breaks throughout the day. I am clean, organized and timely with your pets needs and can follow through on the best plan for your dog, whether at your place or ours.
“Yan was fantastic! She sent me lots of photos and videos of my dog throughout the day and he had a great time at her house. She was flexible and communicative and I will definitely book again!”

“Watson had a fantastic time with Alexandria and her pups. She did a great job at sending updates and photos throughout the day, and I felt very confident in leaving my little guy in her care. Would 10/10 recommend!”

“Ina was great watching our pup Coby! We felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. This was Coby's first time boarding. Ina worked to acclimate Coby, make him comfortable and build his confidence throughout the stay. It seemed he was part of the pack by the time we picked him up! The daily photos, videos and updates were great and gave us an idea how his day went and alleviated any concerns. The play time with other pups and walks/runs were great! I think he thoroughly enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be booking again in the future.”

“Annie had doggy friends to play with and came home content and tired and excited to go back the next day. I’m from out of state and pick up and drop off was easy and flexible which was really helpful for us too.”

About: I’ve grown up with and had taken care of house hold and family pets since childhood. For the last four years I’ve been the main trainer, caregiver and best friend to my playful maltipoo Penny. I have extensive experience boarding and pet sitting for friends and family and am comfortable in households with multiple pets. I am a substitute teacher and freelance photographer with a flexible schedule. I’m able to do morning or afternoon walks depending on your dog’s established routines. I live in a condo in Northgate near multiple parks/ green spaces for long walks, as well as communal and private yard space for shorter potty breaks and play time. I have a happy and friendly 4 year old maltipoo who enjoys making new doggy friends.
“Nicole was fantastic! We were able to set up a meet & greet before daycare so Rocco would be familiar with Nicole prior to the booking. During daycare, Nicole sent updates & pictures showing Rocco having a great time. Rocco was so excited to see Nicole on day 2 of daycare and that says everything as that's Rocco's stamp of approval. I highly recommend Nicole and will be booking again. Thank you!”

About: Hi there! I’m a proud father of two and two lovable rescue dogs – both German Shepherd mixes, one of whom has taught me a lot about patience, training, and handling reactivity challenges. Whether your pup is a playful bundle of energy or a bit more cautious, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. With years of experience caring for dogs (and other animals from snakes to bees and everything in beween) of all shapes, sizes, and quirks, I bring both reliability and a love for animals to every walk, play session, or cozy stay. Your furry friend will get plenty of attention, exercise, and love – just like I’d want for my own dogs! Let’s make tails wag together! 🐶🐕 As a proud dog dad of two rescue pups, pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. From morning walks and feeding routines to playtime and quiet moments, caring for animals is something I prioritize and truly enjoy. My experience includes handling a reactive dog, which has taught me patience, structure, and the importance of consistency. Whether it’s fitting in evening check-ins, daily walks, or weekend adventures, I’m flexible and happy to tailor my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I treat every pet as I do my own – with attention, care, and plenty of love.” Whether in my home or yours or walking your pup in the neighborhood or park, I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for your pets. At my home, I follow a structured routine with plenty of walks, playtime, and downtime to ensure pets feel secure and comfortable. Since I have two German Shepherd rescues (including one with reactivity challenges - don't worry, she's great with other dogs. It's people she struggles with), I’m experienced in managing different personalities, energy levels, and sensitivities. Safety, supervision, and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I respect your pet’s routine and environment. I’ll follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean up after them, and make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention. Whether that means a peaceful walk, playtime in the yard, or cozy companionship indoors, I adapt to your pet’s needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates so you know your furry friend is in great hands!

“Cathleen is a kind and compassionate animal lover! She’s great with my Buggs! They’re an adorable mess and she is charmed by them in the best of ways!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover and a dedicated sitter who prioritizes your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness. Since 2018, I have been providing reliable hands on care for family and friends' dogs building experience that goes beyond just the basics. I've workied with puppies, even helping train a family pup from a young age. I have tons of patience for dogs who might be quite anxious or reactive too. I understand that every dog is unique and when they are with me they become part of the family. Expect a calm loving atmosphere full of attention and consistent care! I can't wait to meet your pup! I am currently a graduate student and do most of my work remotely, so I will be around a lot to hangout with your dog! I can easily walk your dogs 2-4x per day and meet whatever needs your dog needs to feel comfortable with me. For Dog Boarding in My Home: I offer a highly structured day including two to four stimulating walks through my quiet neighborhood. We often enjoy time near Maple Leaf Reservoir Park where they can get great exercise and lots of sniffs. While my home has a small, securely fenced patio for quick outdoor access, the majority of exercise happens on our long neighborhood walks. I live in a comfortable two story townhouse and do have my own dog. The good news is that the home layout allows for easy, stress free separation between the first and second floors. This means I can guarantee a safe, calm space if our dogs don't immediately click or if your dog needs a space away from other pets entirely. I am committed to strictly following your routine for feeding, medication, and sleep to make their stay feel like a true home away from home. For Drop In Visits/Dog Walking: These visits are perfect for ensuring your pet gets food, potty breaks, and playtime while you are away. I strictly follow your routine for feeding, medication, and specific playtime needs. I'll take them out for bathroom breaks in your fenced yard or patio, or for a quick neighborhood stroll. I am committed to making sure your pet stays comfortable and happy in their own home environment.
“Nabina, Joonseok and Kona (dog) are the best second home for our dog Lily. Kona is a sweetheart who loves to play. Lily always comes back tired and happy. Nabina and Joonseok are wonderful dog parents who care for lily like she’s their own. I can tell by the way lily is when I pick her up and drop her off that she loves the time she spends at their house. I’m so glad we found them!”

Northgate dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our two-year-old pup had a great daycare experience with Lorena. Our little guy can be anxious when away from home, but Lorena helped him settle in and feel comfortable. We loved the adorable pics she shared. We also appreciated that Lorena made time in her schedule for a meet & greet before the stay and a chat about how things went after. She clearly loves dogs and is very knowledgeable about how to care for them. Will definitely rebook. So glad to have connected with her over Rover!

Sara was such a wonderful dog sitter for my boy, Ollie! She was so accommodating, especially when I had to change drop off times because of my erratic work schedule. I had absolutely no complaints, and Ollie’s definitely enjoyed playing with both her and her dog, Banksy!

Julianne is friendly and caring, and took great care of my greyhound for the day so I could attend an event in Kingston. I appreciated how flexible Julianne was with my (ferry-dependent) schedule. Her home is close to the park, so I know my pup enjoyed her walks. I'd be happy for Gia to stay with Julianne again anytime!

Rafael and Celeste are wonderful! Their sweet frosted face pup Juno was also such a gracious host to my shy timid Pup. They watched my pup Poppy on short notice during my work days. They were very understanding of her shy demeanor and made her feel comfortable at her own pace. They were very accommodating with my work schedule and very communicative with photos and updates, which I appreciated! Knowing my pup is in good hands is priceless! I plan to use them again for doggy daycare!
