“I think it’s safe to say that my cat loved staying with Allan. First sitter where he came home and didn’t hide or was skittish right after. He was relaxed, as if I didn’t stress him out by sending him away. Allan also gave regular updates and lots of photos. I would definitely trust him with Ubba again!”
“Ashley was amazing. I booked her at the very last minute and she was very accommodating. She took amazing care of Novah and sent pictures and daily updates.”
“She was very flexible and worked with me. I feel very comfortable with my dog in her hands, and she did good with picture updates. 😊 Will definitely recommend her and utilize her services again.”
“Stephanie was great! She kept me up to date and sent me pictures and videos and informed me of what adventures my pup had. She walked my baby everyday and let him sleep with her and loved on him and treated him with such care and kindness. I am very happy and lucky I found her and am looking forward to boarding with her again. Thank you!”
“Zuri is amazing! Our dogs, Luca and Loki, had so much fun at Zuri’s house and they were so well taken care of that we couldn’t be happier. We’ll definitely use Zuri’s services again and highly recommend her to others.”
“I am so grateful for Julian and Kayla taking my 5 month old rambunctious puppy in for his first boarding. They were kind and gave updates during his stay. They treated him like he was their own ♥️”
“Highly recommended! Great communication! She sent us pictures and updates so we were never worried. We will definitely take Angel back to her again. Super nice!”
“Bosco always enjoys his time with Breanna and Clay. This was his first overnight and they kept us well informed on how he was doing. We'd have no problem boarding there again. Thanks!”
About: I treat your dog like my own, with plenty of love and play. I’m reliable, keep you in the loop, and know how to keep your pup safe and happy while your away. I watched my cousin’s dog for a weekend. We went on walks and I gave lots of belly rubs. I work part-time on weekends but have the whole beginning of the week free to give your furry friends all the care and love they deserve. Sun-Wed and some Friday’s consider me available for your pups needs of care. In my home, I offer a safe, loving environment with regular play and care tailored to each pet’s routine. At your home, I follow your pet’s schedule closely to keep them comfortable and secure while providing plenty of attention.
“Paige did a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby. Sent me pictures daily of my baby, took him for walks, loved on him. I couldn't have been more pleased. Chris O”
“LaTonya was amazing! I left my energetic six month old puppy with her right in the middle of a bad teething stage and she was great! She sent multiple photos throughout the day along with frequent updates on how he was doing! My puppy had never been away from me for a night or stayed with anyone else and she was SO patient with him! Her having her own dogs is a HUGE plus since I think it was a big reason why my puppy got settled so quickly. I would recommned her to anyone!”
“Zo and Mila loved their stay! Communication was great, I received updates and pictures which was awesome. We were very happy and thankful to find such a great family for our doggy’s!”
“Penny was great! She sent many photo updates of our puppies. They had many adventure walks, had time to play in her yard, and they also did some training sessions. We will definitely be back!”
“A perfect family! Always very flexible on pickup/drop off times. Always sending picture/ video updates on how the stay is going. You can tell her daughter loves having new dogs in the house. They are always so kind and love dog sitting. Definitely a returning customer!”
About: My love for animals started early and runs deep. I grew up with my family dog, raising her from a few months old to 15 years old. In my life from when I was 7 to 22, we truly grew up together. I cared for her as a playful puppy and again as a senior when she lost her hearing and sight. That experience shaped who I am today and continues to inspire my passion for caring for pets of all ages and conditions. Since then, I’ve dog-sat for both family and friends, including multi-day stays in my home and house-sitting for up to three dogs at once while their owners were away. I also have experience cat-sitting and am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, especially small to mid-sized breeds. I bring a calm, attentive energy to every pet I meet, treating them with the same care and affection I gave my own. With a part-time work schedule, I have plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care. I'm primarily available on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening needs. Whether your pet needs short walks, drop-ins, or longer overnight stays, I can offer a flexible schedule that keeps them happy and well-cared for. I strive to create a safe, comfortable space where pets feel at home. I have a large fenced-in yard perfect for playing fetch, supervised outdoor time, or just lounging in the sun. When it comes to exercise, I adapt to each pet’s needs—whether that’s a long walk or gentle indoor play. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully, including feeding, medications, and daily routines. I’m attentive to details and always aim to make your pet feel secure and loved. I’ll also keep in touch with regular updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Nicole was such a life saver! We needed her for a last minute trip and she was so gracious enough to watch our puppy, Luna. She updated me with pictures multiple times per day and always let me know what was going on. Will be reaching out to her again if we need a sitter!!”
“Kimberly was amazing!! My pups had a good weekend staying with her. She kept me updated and I felt secure with leaving my babies in her care. Will definitely use her again! Thank you again!”

“Jazmine is a wonderful pet caregiver. She watched my sweet little yorkie while I was away on vacation. My dog isn’t always a people person, she usually barks nonstop at anyone she does not recognize, but she absolutely loved Jazmine! My dog wouldn’t leave her side the entire week I was gone. I would 100% use Jazmine’s services again and I think my yorkie would, too!”

Ottawa dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my pups first overnight stay with Sandy. I was nervous as this was her first overnight without us. Our rat terrier can be a handful wanting belly rubs ALL DAY LONG! Sandy, was great! She assured us everything would be fine. She was on the floor loving on our pups making her comfortable. She texted us to let us know how she was doing and even sent a cute photo. My only concern is that I fear our pups will want to move in with Sandy. Lol
Tara went above and beyond. She sent pictures and videos. Plus my hyper puppy came back home tired. Tara truly cares about the work that she does and even picked up and dropped off my Great Dane puppy. I will definitely be using her services again in the very near future.
Meez watched Basil overnight and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. From the moment we met, it was clear she was experienced, responsible, and genuinely cared about animals. I got sent regular updates, including photos and messages, which made me feel so connected and reassured. Basil looked relaxed, happy, and clearly bonded with her and the other dogs. I highly recommend!!!!
