“We have an 11-month-old puppy who has never been away from us for more than a few hours, so we were understandably nervous. But the moment we went for a meet-and-greet at Joyce’s home, both our puppy and we felt completely at ease. We took a short 3-day trip and left our dog with Joyce, and she and her family took such wonderful care of her. Joyce sent us daily updates and pictures, which really helped put our minds at ease. Before the boarding even began, she took detailed notes about our puppy’s routine, including things like her feeding schedule and even her poop cycle, so that her entire family could be on the same page. If she’s available again, we would absolutely love to have her care for our puppy in the future!”
“Sofiya was awesome! I appreciate the daily updates of pictures and videos to put my mind at ease knowing my furbaby was safe while I was out of town. I will definitely look to re-book with Sofiya in the future!”
“Grace and her family were wonderful sitters for our dog, Kirby. Grace did all that she could to make Kirby feel comfortable in her home, and sent us routine updates on Kirby's meals and walks in addition to a lot of great photos. We felt really comfortable leaving Kirby with Grace and will definitely reach out to her again. Thanks, Grace!”
“Rachel did a great job with my girls.one of my little girl( Lola) was very nervous but Rachel made sure she felt safe and conferable with her. She send me photos to show how they are doing. I will definitely book with her again..😊”
“Jax had a great time! Minh sent updates and pictures throughout. She let me know that he was doing well through the July 4th fireworks which gave us piece of mind that he felt comfortable.”
“Sean was extremely communicative and patient. Helped me when I couldn’t get back from the airport on time to pick up my lil pupper. I would suggest him to anyone.”
“Megha and her husband were awesome. Absolutely no complaints. Very professional and communicative. They have a beautiful backyard for your dog to roam. They gave my senior dog lots of attention and sent many updates with pictures as soon as I left my dog there. I found that extremely comforting because I’ve never left my dog with strangers before. They also let my dog roam around so I never worried that he would be stuck in a crate somewhere. I know my little guy was very comfortable and I would definitely bring Rascal back!”
About: I learned dog/cat care from my grandmother. She taught me her special side of respecting and caring the animals no matter what kind. I have had a dog for 14 years of my life, his name was Panda. I am very excited to board dogs in my home and give them a healthy and playful environment. I am also excited to take them on long walks. I volunteered at Aurora Animal Shelter for 2 years and learnt to give behavioural training for kittens/cats. I fostered more than 6 cats apart from my own 2 cats for the past 1 year. I currently work 3 days a week from office, and my husband works remote. He is an animal lover too and loves to spend time with my cats at home. I spend time with my cats early morning and late night when they are fully active and excited to play. I take them on a walk (on leash) once a week. They enjoy some time out of home. I would like to give your pet any special attention that is needed. I will accommodate my schedule according to your pet's demands. I promise to give them a happy and peaceful environment.
“I felt so safe and comfortable leaving my cat with Jen. She was so incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and accommodating. Worked well with my schedule, including some last minute scheduling changes. She was so reassuring and it was so clear to me that my cat had such a happy and pleasant experience. I will definitely be booking with Jen in the future. Her regular updates, thoroughness, attention to detail, empathy, and experience made me feel relaxed during my trip, knowing that my cat was in good hands. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.”
“Iggy had a wonderful time at Michael’s. Before booking and throughout the process, Michael was very effective and prompt in our communication. After meeting Michael at the meeet and greet, we decided to proceed. Michael and Kris took great care of Iggy during his 4 night stay. Michael sent us updates and when my partner picked up Iggy, he could tell that Iggy had been well taken care of and come to love it there as well. Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Kessling! Our elderly dog needed a little extra help, some daily medication and assistance with stairs, and she handled everything with such care. We felt extra reassured since Kessling is a vet tech, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in knowledgeable hands in case something went wrong. She was patient and unfazed by our specific requests, and treated our dog very well. We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable sitter—especially if your pet needs a bit of extra TLC!”
“Queenie & Yu-Chieh took such a great care of Perry, they did extraordinary, I could see Perry very very happy from the pictures they sent us, they always kept me posted, sending videos and pictures. I would take Perry again with them, we’re so thankful.”

I will definitely recommend her to anyone who loves their fur. Big Thank You Leah and her partner as well.”

One of the best sitters I’ve ever had! Fast, clear communication since booking request. Did meet and greet with Brandon and Obi (Brandon’s pet dog) and it was clear this would be a great fit. Drop off and pickup was convenient and flexible. Plenty of pictures and videos during stay to know things were going. Would definitely book again, highly recommend.
Did a very great job taking care of Ash. Always kept me updated throughout the day, updated me when Ash took his medication. Sent pictures throughout the day which I very much appreciated. Took him on many walks, ash loved it there. Overall such an amazing job would 100% leave ash with Jose again.

This is our very first time using Rover and we found Angelina . She is awesome , sweet and obsoletely no complains. She is very professional and communicate.

We had a wonderful experience boarding Tangyuan with Queenie and Yu-Ching! They were incredibly respectful, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. They brought all of Tangyuan’s favorite toys and showered him with so much love and care—it truly felt like a second home for him. We’re so grateful to have found such kind and attentive sitter!
Our dog had an excellent time with Fangyi. She provided almost daily photos and frequent updates. She was very communicative and responsive, and our dog came back very happy after a weekend of hiking after she asked if our dog would be amenable to it! Would be happy for her to take care of our little one in the future.
Ezra is awesome. She went above and beyond to make sure our niner was comfortable and safe. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and cats and knows what she is talking about. Ezra even sent us updates to make us feel at ease being that this was our niner’s first time away from us. It made our vacation more enjoyable knowing niner was in good hands. We will definitely be seeking Ezra’s services in the future.
Rocco has stayed with Luke multiple times and this most recent stay was his longest. Luke kept in contact with us and sent a few pictures a day for updates. We experienced travel days on the day of pick up and Luke was flexible, allowing Rocco to stay an extra few hours. We will always rely on Luke for boarding when we need it.
