“Alex bonded with my dog Sunny as she started following him from room to room. I made me happy since she is a very shy dog that does not easily take to people. Alex did a great job with her and I will hire him again should I go out of town. He was very professional and kept me updated about how she was doing and sent pictures. As a side note he even found my lost TV remote. Thanks Alex”
“Carolann is an amazing person. We have a puppy who has taken to her quickly. She is beyond patient and caring. She is one of the kindest people i have met. It has been great to have someone trustworthy to be in our home and care for our fur baby. She has made our hectic schedule manageable. Truly a blessing!”
“Anna was great. She was very responsive from the start. I consider myself a obsessive dog owner. I worry about every little thing. Anna did a wonderful job of making me feel at ease while I was out of town. She was great with my dog Bailey. From the first time we met she had a calming influence on her. During the time I was away, Anna kept me updated on how the overnight visits were going. When I came back, she left a detailed note letting me know how Bailey did. Also, Bailey was very calm and relaxed when I arrived back into town. Anna also made some homemade treats for Bailey. I highly recommend Anna.”
“Great service! Brad is an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dog and home. He kept me up to date and was always fast to reply. Our house was spotless when we returned and he was very tidy (which was also important to us).”
“Cara was exactly the kind of person I was hoping for when I knew I would need a pet sitter. She was very communicative, responding quickly and thoroughly, warm & caring, and aware that our fur families aren't just pets. Cara went the extra mile to reassure me (an anxious person who has only had friends and family pet sit before) and keep me updated on the goings on of each of my pets (with the most adorable pictures!) so that I had the peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. She was incredibly patient and understanding with my anxious rescue pup and put up with my bratty teenage cats. Would wholeheartedly recommend--your fur kids will be in good hands!”
“Ashley did an amazing job. Tons of photos and updates of our cat and puppy. She also cleaned our home(kitchen and floors) which was SUCH a treat to come home to after travel! She was amazing!”
“Emily was wonderful with my slow-to-warm up little dog. She asked questions about his needs beforehand, took great care of him while I was away, sent pictures and updates, and left my house just the way I left it. Highly recommend!”
“Was nervous about finding a new pet sitter after ours moved away but MC was great. The initial visit put me at ease and the picture updates let me know that they were (very obviously) doing ok. Would rebook and would recommend to any of my friends.”
“Suli house sat and watched our Blue Heeler Tag for 10 days. Tag was happy, and calm when we got home. We were kept updated. Suli left the home clean like we left it and even washed her sheets and watered our plants. We would recommend Suli and will definitely use her again.”
“Emma is great! She met with us prior to our trip to meet our dogs to see if it would be a good fit. She communicated with us while we were away. We came home to clean home and happy dogs!”
“Eleanor stayed with my Pom for a week while I was out of the country, and she was fantastic! I came home to a happy doggie and a neat and tidy place. Eleanor sent regular updates and pics through the week so I didn’t worry while I was away. I definitely recommend her services!”
“Alexandria was a phenomenal pet sitter! We felt completely at ease and were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our animals were in such good hands. She cared for them as if they were her own—attentive, playful, and always keeping our dog company. It’s clear our pets love her and feel comfortable around her. We’ll absolutely hire her again for any future travel!”
“Julie was so wonderful with our dog. She sent lots of pictures and videos and we could tell she sincerely cared for her. We will definitely book again with Julie and can highly recommend her.”
“Niara is amazing! She always sends morning updates and pictures throughout the day of both our pups! Not only does she stay over to keep the puppies company, but she is very engaged and plays and takes them on nice walks in the neighborhood. We have hired her now three times now- she is very responsive and is just amazing all around! We are so lucky to have found her!!!”
“Haley was an absolute joy to have in our home! She was extremely communicative, sending photos and updates and keeping us informed about how everyone was doing. She did wonderfully with our energetic 6 month old Australian Shepherd puppy, giving him the care and attention he needed. Our house was left just as we had it - clean and secure, with everything properly locked up when we returned. All of our animals seemed happy, healthy, and well cared for. We would absolutely book Haley again whenever the need arises!”
About: My parents always had animals growing up. My dad especially always taught me to have compassion for every creature, going as far as bring any stray animal home so they had a warm place to sleep for however long they wanted to stay. I currently work part time, Monday-Friday 9am-3pm So I have time during the evenings on weekdays and time on the weekends as well! I’ve loved animals my whole life so spending as much time as I can with them makes my day. I am very good at being patient with animals, I am used to shy or nervous animals and going at their pace. I am also no stranger to very friendly animals as well, I am good at matching their energies.
“Diane took great care of our Shih-Tzu, Ringo, when we went out of town. It was a big deal to leave him in someone else’s care because he is a senior dog on medications. He was calm and happy when we returned home! Diane is experienced and loves animals, so she was the BEST choice for us and for Ringo.”

Oakville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Michelle has been a great help as we manage our busy lives and the need for trustworthy house sitting and pet care. She responds quickly when I touch base before a booking and is always eager to help. She communicates with me daily during the booking and sends pictures. The pets are well cared for and I feel confident all will be well upon our return.
Bob was great with our dog Minnie while we were on vacation. He sent pictures and stories of the adventures Minnie was having daily. He was very accommodating when we were delayed in getting home. We highly recommend Bob for pet sitting and he is awesome to deal with. We are very appreciative of how well Bob took care of Minnie!
