“Theresa and Adrian took great care of our dog while we were away for 5 days! They communicate thoroughly and share updates daily. They even went above and beyond by sleeping on the couch with our dog on his first night when he was showing signs of anxiety. Highly recommend their services!”
“Teddy had such a great time with Tara, her family, and her pups! He made friends and had a blast with them. She sent me pictures and a video while we were away which we appreciated so much. Tara is so amazing with animals and I would totally have her watch Teddy again! Thank you so much Tara.”
“Wonderful care, Calypso loved it and I really appreciated all the updates of a happy dog while I was out of the state. Whenever I reached out I got a response within seconds - we will definitely be back”
“We were so happy with all aspects of working with Rebecca. From communicating with her about our booking, our meet and greet, to the care and love she gave our dog while we were away, everything was easy and wonderful. Rebecca is a gem!”
About: 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages have taught me that every dog really is one-of-a-kind, and I honor all of their unique personalities and needs. I do sincerely respect dogs, but I always have so much fun spending time with them! I’m a student, and I’m busy with class from 12:30-4 M-TH, so I have the most free time during mornings and evenings. I live in an apartment with my very gentle 8 year old poodle, who I’ve noticed is a comforting presence to nervous dogs. I live a very short walk away from a great dog park.
About: Special needs, patience, guidance, understanding, care, safety and obviously tons of love gifts I have shared with dog friends for most of my life . I have raised 3 litters of pugs. Adopted a special needs pug. Cared for a poodle with seizures, a wonderful lab, beagles and some dog friends who were just special and some that still are. I love to go on walks at what ever pace is best for your pet. I understand and am attentive to their needs. Also I understand and respect the importance and needs for the type of care you prefer for your pet. Please let me know exactly what they are so I can provide the best care possible for your pet while you are away. I am currently working part-time and from home I will have plenty of time to play for and Care for your pets. I am available most evenings and weekends. Looking forward to hearing from you. I have a fenced yard and to every room of my home except for the kitchen. Your pet can be created if necessary. There is plenty of space for play and for rest my home is located in a very friendly and safe neighbourhood.
“I had a great experience with Amy as my dog sitter! She took such good care of Snickers and made sure he was happy and comfortable while I was away. I really appreciated how flexible she was with the pick-up and drop-off timings—it made things so much easier for me. Snickers seemed completely at ease with her, and I could tell he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Theresia was great with our babies, even when they were out of control she handled them well she kept me updated all the time and was great about picking them up and dropping them off.”
“Megan and her boys were amazing with my older pup, Brady! They gave him tons of cuddles and walks and frankly spoiled him. Megan is very communicative and sends tons of updates and photos. Thank you!”
“Omg! Laura is the best! She is so great with dogs, keeps them safe and happy and sends you lots of pictures! It’s so much easier to enjoy time away when you know your pup is so well cared for. Thank you Laura!♥️🐶♥️”
“Eriann was excellent - kind, accommodating, and communicative. She was LUCKILY available last minute and even administered eyedrops to our pup, which we were so grateful for. Our dog got along with her dog very well (the best photos to prove) which was a bonus - we'll definitely be contacting Eriann for any dog-sitting needs in the future :)”
“Daniella and her family were so kind to our older dog, Josh. We had a family wedding out of the country and they took such great care of him. We loved getting the updates every day and meeting this special family! I’d recommend Daniella to anyone needing dog care.”
About: Looking for a safe, loving, and playful place for your pup while you’re at work or running errands, or holiday? We only host a maximum of 2 dogs at a time, which means your fur baby will get personal attention, care, and love, not a crowded daycare vibe. Your pup will also have the best playmate, our 1.5-year-old Husky, Chabella, who is full of energy, super friendly, and always ready for a game of chase or tug. Dogs love her, and she’ll make sure your dog feels like part of the pack from the very first sniff! I work remotely, and my wife works hybrid, so there’s always someone home to keep an eye on the pups. We truly see our dog as our baby, and we’ll treat yours with the same respect, love, and care. What sets us apart: Small group (max 2 dogs) = more love & attention Built-in furry friend (Chabella the Husky!) Flexible drop-off & pick-up times. If you’re looking for a home away from home where your pup will be safe, loved, and entertained – we’d love to welcome them into our pack! I work remotely and my wife works hybrid, so we have the time and flexibility to help with your dogs. We can also do boardings while you are out of town. We have a fenced yard and a playful husky still a puppy of 2 years old full of energy and in need of more friends!
“Richard is a phenomenal sitter! He is knowledgeable about dogs and has a great deal of care for them. I received quick responses and photos/videos while I was away. Our dogs got along very well! I highly recommend Richard as a sitter.”
“I recently boarded Oreo with Laura, and I couldn't have been more impressed with the level of care they provided. From the moment I dropped off my pup, I felt reassured by the frequent updates they sent me. It was evident that they treated my dog as if she were their own, going above and beyond to ensure her comfort and happiness. Her genuine love for animals truly shone through, and it was so heartwarming to know that my dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and attentive environment for their beloved pet.”
“Orawan was great watching Millie! She was very responsive, sent updates, and included a lot of photos. She was very communicative. Millie enjoyed her stay there, and we plan on using Orawan in the future!”
“Irv is the greatest thing to happen to us. We have had a crazy amount of travel and know that our bernedoodle is in great hands with Irv and his family. After our last trip I wasn’t sure Solo would want to come home with us.”
“Angela was great! Carmen came back very sleepy and happy—it was clear Angela and her bf spoiled her in the best way. She was also willing to be flexible with me when my plans changed at the last minute. Thanks Angela 💛”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Royal Oak
From our initial meet and greet, I had no question in my mind that Gabby would be in good hands with Vicki and William and their puppy. Ruby. Vicki's home is super dog friendly and Gabby was made to feel right at home. Vicki sent me photos everyday and I could tell Gabby was comfortable and having fun. Which made me at ease on my vacation knowing there was no need to worry about anything . When I went to pick up Gabby she was in bed and had to be nudged. She was so comfortable she didn't want to leave 🥰 Thank you Vicki. I sure am glad I found you on Rover.
Olivia was so incredibly sweet and patient with Nala! She went above and beyond by meeting with me several times before our trip to make sure Nala felt as comfortable as possible in a new environment. She also communicated frequently throughout the weekend and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my girl! Olivia’s love for animals is so evident, and I’m so grateful we found her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with genuine love, patience, and care! ❤️🐾
Krystle was so great and patient with my dog Dobby. He was really scared of going down her stairs, and it took over an hour to get him comfortable enough to go up and down with confidence. Krystle was patient and kept a positive attitude the whole time. I cannot thank her enough for being so good to him! Would recommend 10/10.
I had such a wonderful experience with Nathan taking care of my cat Golu. From the very beginning, Nathan was kind, patient, and genuinely caring. I was nervous about leaving Golu, especially because he is very attached to me and can be shy around new people, but Nathan made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. Nathan took excellent care of Golu, paid attention to his routine and needs, and treated him with so much love and patience. He kept me updated and made sure I knew how Golu was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m truly grateful to Nathan for taking such great care of Golu. It’s not easy leaving your pet with someone else, but I felt like Golu was in safe and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and loving cat sitter. Thank you so much, Nathan! ❤️🐾
Susan and her husband Alan are amazing! They took incredible care of our two dogs, gave them so much love & attention and provided tons of cute updates frequently throughout my dogs’ stay. It was so comforting knowing my dogs were in excellent hands! I can’t imagine leaving my pups anywhere else!
Kimberly was super kind and accommodating!! My pup is people shy but he warmed up to her pretty quickly. She even had different toys and treats to gauge his interests. You can tell her heart is in this. I got consistent updates and i felt like my dog was in good hands. I will definitely book with her again!!
