“Juliana was such a great fit for my fur baby. I had never been separated from tiny (gsd) since she has been with me and I was worried about her separation anxiety . We did a meet n greet before booking and Juliana was so calm and patient with my baby. Tiny quickly became comfortable with her . I also loved how Juliana kept me updated with pictures , videos and communicated throughout tiny stay. I would absolutely book again”
“We felt totally comfortable leaving Archie with David and Marcy for a week while we ran off to get married! We were able to totally relax knowing our little guy was in good hands. They send pictures multiple times a day, are super flexible with pickup and drop-off times, and are overall just the best.”
“This is my 3rd time leaving Kuddle with them, this time for 2 weeks. They really looked after her very well and we would use them to look after her many more times.”
“Sam and her family hosted our cockapoo Diamond for a week. Working with Sam was an amazing experience from the first day we inquired! Diamond's stay was amazing, he had lots of fun which we could tell by all the photos that were sent to us. He was loved and taken very good care of for the week. Sam is also a great communicator which was very important to us because Diamond can be a little particular and a picky eater. Sam kept us informed about how Diamond was eating and how he was adapting to his new environment. Hands down we give Sam 10 stars🌟!”
“I’ve had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Penny, in the care of this amazing couple on more than one occasion, and I truly can’t recommend them enough. They treated her like part of their family, along with their sweet dog, Duke, and made sure she felt safe, loved, and entertained while I was away. Each time, they sent photo updates regularly and shared how she was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much they care about animals and go the extra mile to make sure your pup is happy and comfortable. Penny always comes home calm and content, a sign to me that she’s had a great stay. If you’re looking for reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely loving dog sitters, look no further. Penny and I are so lucky to have found them! They are for sure our go to doggy sitters furever!!”
“I'm always a little nervous leaving my elderly dauchsund with back problems, but Adriana was beyond wonderful. She is kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. Aside from the adorable daily photoshoots, she took amazing care of my dog. My pup will absolutely be a repeat guest of Adriana <3. I 100% recommend. As a repeat user of Rover's service, this was the best experience. Thank you, Adriana!”
“Ralph did a great job taking care of my anxious senior dog! He made sure he knew what she needed to have a comfortable stay and sent plenty of updates throughout the week so I never had to worry. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jasmil once again was amazing with Papa! She and her family cared for him as if he was their own :) she is so patient with him and sends the best updates throughout his stay. I will always recommend Jasmil!!”
“This is the second time we leave our cat Luna to Sherry and Walter and as always they took such good care of her , provided frequent updates and made amazing studio level photos We will definitely have them babysit Luna again soon Thanks again”
“Brandon and Ruth-Ann did awesome! Just to give background I’m shipping my dogs overseas and me and my family had to leave before the dogs. They went above and beyond and made sure they got to their flight in time with everything they needed. They were very friendly and flexible 10/10!”
“Mochi had a great time with Kristin! She’s experienced, patient, and learned his needs quickly. She gave little updates and really eased my anxiety about boarding Mochi for the first time.”
“Iwona was very attuned to my dog’s emotional needs and was always communicative and responsive. I wouldn’t doubt booking boarding with her again the next time I’m out of town.”
“Denis was the absolute perfect sitter for Mowgli! I was very nervous to be leaving him with strangers for the first time while on vacation for a whole week, as he’s typically a very anxious cat. But Denis was super communicative throughout the entire process and really put my mind at ease. He sent texts and photo updates every day and made sure to check in about how Momo was doing. If you are looking for someone who specifically understands and appreciates cat temperaments and needs, I highly recommend Denis! I think Mowgli had a better vacation than I did. I will certainly be booking with him again for any future cat sitting needs!”
“OMG! Vanessa is such a wonderful sitter, she made us feel so comfortable leaving our puppy baby Givi with her while we were on vacation. She kept us updated everyday with pictures and videos. We were at ease knowing he had the upmost care from Vanessa. She is amazing, such a sweet person, our baby loved her very much as well, he looked like he wanted to stay Lol. We highly recommend her to anyone who wants their baby puppy to be well cared for. We will definitely take our baby to Vanessa again. So happy we found her! We Love Her!!!!”
“Always ann amazing stay with Kiersten and Casey - I was gone for two weeks this time, and as always, I had complete peace of mind knowing Nalu was with them. They’re so loving with her, send regular updates and pictures, and I know she’s getting plenty of cuddles and attention while I’m away. It really means so much to be able to travel and not have to worry about her at all. Nalu is always so so excited to stay with them.”
“Krystal took wonderful care of our dog, Joules, while we were away for two weeks. We were initially nervous about leaving our older dog for that long, but Krystal made the experience completely stress-free. She kept us updated regularly, gave Joules plenty of attention and long walks, and clearly cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy dog and couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Krystal!”
“We are first time dog parents and we had an important event to attend to outside of the country with no way to bring our puppy. We did our research on a few dog sitters and Leandra checked off alot on our list - being first time dog parents with a bunch of worry and guilt in our hearts, we wanted someone experienced to leave our little baby with. Leandra was very communicative with the updates and eased our soul while we were away - definitely loved the way she was with us and of course how she was with our puppy. Definitely recommend and definitely would rebook in the future. Leandra, thank you so much! You were amazing! :)”
“Bruno and Victoria took excellent care of our dog. They are reliable and is clear that they have a genuine passion for animals. We received daily updates from photos and videos, and it made us happy knowing our dog was having a good time while we were outside the country. Overall very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure to meet all of our dog's needs were met. They’re truly probably the best dog sitters we’ve encountered yet, and hoping to use their services again in the future!”

“Rosandy and Edward love Blaze and Starlette. The couple treats my beloved pets as if they are their own. I am beyond grateful for Rosandy and Edward in our lives. God has given me the best people and caretakers I could have ever desired. Thanks you.”
“Laura is incredibly reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Throughout the entire time we were away, she sent us daily updates, with adorable photos that reassured me my cats were well cared for. I also appreciated the little things—like taking the time to play with them, clean their litter boxes, and ensure they had plenty of fresh food and water. I’ll definitely be booking her again the next time I need a sitter, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and kind person to look after their pets.”
“Thoselin was amazing! We thought our cat would be shy or scared, but Thoselin made her feel safe and our cat warmed up to her quickly! She sent us pictures and was easy to communicate with. Five stars!!”
“First time arranging a sitter for my cat and I was nervous, but I got Christy and she has been amazing and lovely. Cats can be cats and I worried if my girl got overstimulated and took a “stop petting me now” swipe a sitter would be upset, but Christy gets cats! I got updates and photos every visit and she made sure I knew my kitty was doing well. It was such a relief that she genuinely likes my cat! Will definitely be using Christy again!”
About: absolutely love cats and think they are the sweetest, most cuddly creatures! Growing up with my own childhood cats, Muffin and Rayray, taught me everything about feline behavior and care. I have been taking care of cats of every kind since I was 10 years old, and friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their beloved pets. I promise to give your kitties all the love, cuddles, and attention they deserve!
“Amanda was amazing with Flint! We had a pretty last minute situation and she came through for us with no hesitation. She was super attentive, communicative, and really took initiative during her drop-ins. She noticed things, checked in with us when needed, and went above and beyond without us having to ask. I felt comfortable knowing Flint was in good hands while we were away. Definitely someone I’ll be booking again in the future. Highly recommend Amanda!”
“Regina was such a thoughtful, caring, and attentive sitter for our two cats. She sent pictures and video clips every day, and let us video call them when she could sense they missed us. She was considerate and kind, and I loved that she created a genuine connection with our babies, so much so that she will miss them. I highly recommend working with Regina. Thank you for making our week-long vacation worry-free!”
About: I have had always had dogs in my life. I have helped care for them for as long as I can remember. I know how much care they require and want to give your dogs the best possible experience while you are away. I am currently enrolled in summer school and would be able to attend to pets outside of the hours of 11:00 am to 3:15 pm during weekdays. My weekends are open for pet care as well. Caring for pets not only involves meeting the basics needs of the pet: food, water, physical exercise, etc., but it also involves treating them with respect and love. They have emotional needs that must be met with attention and letting them know that you are present, as they are likely spending more time alone than they usually would.
“I've used Mandel twice now. I highly recommend him! He's a gentleman. I know that's a bit unusual to say, but that really sticks out to me. Also, he is always on time and is great with my elderly cat. I will always use him from now on!”
“Isabel did a great job looking after my cats! She was very responsive and sent a ton of pictures which really helped me feel like my fur babies were in good hands. I highly recommend Isabel for any pet needs you may have!”
About: I've cared for pets my whole life and enjoy doing so. Before losing by beloved fur son last year, I would walk him and my cousins dog when he would go out of town. Along with the dogs and cats I've encountered, I strongly prioritized providing them with mental stimulation. Walking and challenging play is essential to their wellbeing and I've encouraged friends with pets to do more on their behalf. As an afterschool tennis coach, the flexibility and active work would be best for my shift at 1:30pm and after 6pm. This kind of work keeps me engaged and on my feet. I follow the owners strict diets and regiments for their fur babies and keep things tidy. I respect the pet as I would any adult or pet of my own by keeping a close eye on them and developing a loving and trusted relationship.
“I am very happy with Irene. She was professional, caring, and made sure my pets felt comfortable and loved. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend.”
“Mahfuza was great, compassionate, kind & loving towards my baby boy Mimic 🐈⬛️ she also followed the instructions that was given to her. Mahfuza also has a orange baby boy herself & Mimic & him got along just fine. She also sent me pictures & videos daily of Mimic which I can see he was in great hands. I will refer Mahfuza to anyone that needs a loving Cat sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars all the way Thank you again Mahfuza you are truly the best 💯🫶🙌”

Perfect for high energy dogs - South Richmond Hill
“I had a wonderful experience with Stephanie as our dog sitter! She took care of my dog overnight and did an amazing job. I received daily updates and adorable photos, which made me feel so at ease. She was incredibly pleasant, accommodating, and truly seemed to care about my pet's well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Juliana is a very sweet and caring pet caregiver. My older dog felt very at ease with Juliana at doggy daycare and with the other dogs under her care. She was extremely communicative with how Moana did during the day. Moana enjoyed her time with Juliana to the point the next day when we went outside she walked up to the car to go back. Thank you for taking such good care of my little lady.”
“Arianna was an incredible sitter for my dog Sunny. She was always welcoming and accommodating to Sunny's needs as an anxious and reactive dog. I would highly recommend her sitter care! Thanks so much Arianna!”
“We appreciate Jen for taking good care of our furbaby Cooper. Cooper enjoyed his time with Jen and Truffles! She also shared a lot of tips for new furparents like us.”
“Kaylee is so kind and accommodating. I brought my dog to her home for daycare and he was under the weather the whole time but Kaylee made him feel so loved and cared for. She truly treats them like family and makes them feel at home. My dog Frankie didn’t want to leave after I picked him up :)”
“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”
About: Hello! We are RuthAnn and Brandon, a husband and wife duo of lifelong dog lovers. We know that your dog isn’t just a pet… they are FAMILY! That’s why when your pup stays with us they aren’t just “guest dogs” they become a part of our family too. Plus there’s two of us so this means TWICE the love and attention of a regular sitter :) A little bit about us: We are the proud “aunt and uncle” to our family dogs, West and Sadie. We’ve added them to our profile so you can get to know more about them there. While they don’t live with us they visit us often and they are very friendly, so if they happen to be over during your pups stay, that just means more friends to play with! I am currently a nursing student in my last semester and my husband works in sales! So one of the biggest perks of booking with us is that our schedules are flexible. At least one of us is always home. So your pup will have constant companionship, potty breaks and plenty of belly rubs thought the day. We also have a large fully fenced yard that’s perfect for zoomies or a game of fetch! We want you to have total peace of mind when you book with us, so we offer meet and greets prior to booking, as well as regular updates, photos and videos of all the fun your dog is having. We can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Seamlessly because we are home based and flexible. Between the two of us, your dog will have constant supervision and a routine tailored to their needs! We live in a fully fenced home so your pup has full access to a safe fenced yard for supervised play of course. Because Brandon and I are home, your pup gets a perfect balance of activity and rest. We follow your specific feeding and medications to a T (we know how important this is) and we love to provide plenty of belly rubs and cuddles on the couch. We keep a tidy dog proofed home and we keep fresh water available at all times!! We are a team that’s big on communication so you’ll receive daily updates with photos and videos so you can see exactly what your baby is up to. If your dog enjoys company, we love to facilitate play, if they are on the shyer more timid side and prefer one on one time, we can accommodate for that as well.

“Viviana took very good care of our older, anxious dog, making him feel comfortable and at ease while we were away for the day. She was very flexible to meet our dropoff and pick up needs as well. We will book with Viviana again!”
“So grateful for them. I was extremely nervous of leaving Teddy because since I’ve rescued him, I hadn’t been able to leave him with a sitter because he’s a nervous dog and it takes him a while to open up. Luckily they were so amazing and understanding with him. Teddy even let them scratch his belly. Can’t wait for them to watch Teddy again so they can continue building that trust.”
About: I am a passionate and devoted animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I grew up raising and lovingly caring for 4 German Shepherds and 1 Collie, which gave me complete confidence in handling large, strong breeds. Additionally, I have extensive experience caring for and breeding Jack Russell Terriers, making me well-versed in managing energetic, active dogs. Whether your dog is a big gentle giant or a small high-energy pup, I ensure they receive safe walks, attentive feeding, interactive playtime, and lots of love. I always carefully follow all owner instructions and send frequent photo updates so you have complete peace of mind. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I manage my schedule to ensure that pets in my care receive frequent attention, regular potty breaks, timely feeding, and engaging daily walks. Because my routine is flexible and structured, your dog or cat will never feel lonely and will always get the focused care, exercise, and affection they need throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and secure home environment where pets feel safe and relaxed. During walks, I strictly keep dogs on a leash, stay attentive to surroundings, and avoid unnecessary risks or conflicts with other animals. I closely follow every owner's specific rules regarding diet, medication, and routine, and I make sure your home and pets are treated with maximum respect and care.
“Iwona was fantastic and updated me frequently. She was very kind to my dog, who has a lot of anxiety but Iwona handled it with a lot of grace and seemed like my dog didn't want to come back from having such a good time Would recommend!”
““I really appreciate Christina and the care she provided for my dog. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Our dogs got along well on walks and at the park, but it turned out they weren’t the best match sharing a home, so future boarding won’t be a fit for us. I’d still recommend her if your dogs mesh well.”

I also have a park near me and I have my dog and my kitten that love to play around. They are very friendly they get along any dog and cat.
“Lisa is EXCELLENT! You can truly feel that she does this from her heart. She not only cares for your fur baby but she educates you as a pet parent as well. She welcomed us at the meet and greet with open arms. I have a dog who is anxious and has separation anxiety. Lisa is noticed this and used her skills to calm her down. We used her for doggie day care and she sent numerous updates along the way, which I appreciated it. My baby feels comfortable with Lisa and so does I. We look forward to the continuous relationship.”
“Robin was the BEST! She agreed to do a meet and greet with me and even brought her pups to meet my princess Honey. Even though I felt comfortable with her through our chats, meeting her in person beforehand put the cherry on top. Once booked, she took great care of of my Honey girl, sent so many photos and gave me cute updates while I was at work. This was my first booking and definitely will not be the last. She can absolutely be trusted with your fur babies. I’m so glad I took a chance as she made the experience worthwhile. Now my Honey has a home away from home!! Thank you Robin, see you again :)”

“What I’ve been searching for!!! Literally so sweet, knowledgeable about caring for dogs (bio hazards, safety and anxiety) she just gets it!! I’m glad Kobe and I found this hidden gem. I know he is truly in good hands, safe and happy. I trust her judgment and I don’t let anyone watch my dog but she’s the truth!”
“Simply Amazing! Responsible with my home keys, he was careful with my senior dog and she just loved him. Followed all instructions for feedings and walks, plus he kept us updated every day. Highly recommended and will definitely hire again! =-)”
“We are thrilled to be back with Ashley walking our dog Cagney after a two month break this winter. She is so kind and loving, patient and above all professional.

About: I’ve been a dog mom for more than 15 years of my life. I have a small senior dog who gets along with everyone. We love having other dogs hang out with us. I’m very active and enjoy taking dogs for all kind of fun walks. I currently work from home 3 days a week and spend lots of weekends at home taking care of my senior dog. I am the go to person with all my friends and family when it comes to pet care. My senior dog spends much of his time in a giant play pen sleeping in our apartment. We still make it out for 3 walks a day. My apartment is very pet friendly.
About: I grew up with large and small dogs since I was young. My first dog was a pitbull so no I don’t think they’re dangerous, so much so I own a cane corso now. I love all types of dogs and rescued a few strays to give to new families. I have done the same with cats and birds, yes birds. I found strays from new born to even elderly, took care of them and learned how to do basic grooming care like clipping nails and trimming coats. I train my dogs pretty well, I’m not no professional, but they know many key tricks perfectly. I’m currently going to college but it is night classes so I’m free for the entire morning till early afternoon. I’m available for any services unless already booked or stated unavailable for personal reasons. I am free any time from 10am to 4pm Monday Tuesday Wednesday. Sunday Thursday and Friday 6am to 4pm. Saturday 6am to 12pm If there is clients with multiple dogs I know how to stop a scuffle before or during so don’t worry too much on that. I would like to know any allergies and during check ins their feeding regimens. Honestly I love all fur babies and giving them that extra TLC, brushing that winter coat off or just in general keeping them company.

“Amazing as always. My dog had a great time with her, and immediately chugged water when he got home from the walk. He hates drinking water! Glad he got some exercise, or at least as much as his little Chihuahua legs will allow him.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my reliability, attention to detail, and hands-on experience working with animals. I’ve volunteered at Sean Casey Animal Rescue, where I helped care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and backgrounds. That experience helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to provide calm, patient, and compassionate care. In addition, I often take care of friends’ dogs when they travel or are away, so I’m used to maintaining routines like feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are gone. I’m especially attentive with young pets who need structure and positive reinforcement, and I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need slower walks, extra attention, or medication reminders. I prioritize safety, consistency, and keeping pets relaxed in their environment. I also make sure pet parents stay informed by sending regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel secure and cared for, and every owner feel confident their companion is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible freelance schedule and currently no full-time job. This allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the day. I’m able to plan my work around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime, making sure each pet gets reliable care and attention. Because of this flexibility, I’m also available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits when needed. My routine allows me to be dependable, responsive to pet parents, and fully focused on providing safe, attentive care for every pet. I provide attentive, reliable care that keeps pets comfortable and safe in their usual environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy while you’re away. For drop-ins or walks, I make sure pets get the physical activity and attention they need, along with bathroom breaks and any specific care instructions you provide. I respect your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 9+ years, caring for my French Bulldog through every stage of her life—from playful puppy to senior years—which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to a dog’s changing needs. I now have a Cavapoo and love going through all the puppy milestones again, including basic training, routines, and socialization. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s personality, whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup or providing gentle, patient care for older dogs. I genuinely treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and am not working a traditional job, which allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pet care. I’m starting with weekend availability so I can provide consistent, reliable care and ensure each pet gets my full attention. As I get established, I’m open to expanding my availability. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can easily plan my week around their needs When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I always do a quick check to make sure there are no hazards or anything unsafe within reach, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I give pets time to warm up to me at their own pace, using a calm and patient approach to build trust. Once they’re comfortable, I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and care based on their energy level and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away

“Sam and her family hosted our cockapoo Diamond for a week. Working with Sam was an amazing experience from the first day we inquired! Diamond's stay was amazing, he had lots of fun which we could tell by all the photos that were sent to us. He was loved and taken very good care of for the week. Sam is also a great communicator which was very important to us because Diamond can be a little particular and a picky eater. Sam kept us informed about how Diamond was eating and how he was adapting to his new environment. Hands down we give Sam 10 stars🌟!”

“Brandon and Ruth-Ann did awesome! Just to give background I’m shipping my dogs overseas and me and my family had to leave before the dogs. They went above and beyond and made sure they got to their flight in time with everything they needed. They were very friendly and flexible 10/10!”

They’re so loving with her, send regular updates and pictures, and I know she’s getting plenty of cuddles and attention while I’m away. It really means so much to be able to travel and not have to worry about her at all. Nalu is always so so excited to stay with them.”

“We are first time dog parents and we had an important event to attend to outside of the country with no way to bring our puppy. We did our research on a few dog sitters and Leandra checked off alot on our list - being first time dog parents with a bunch of worry and guilt in our hearts, we wanted someone experienced to leave our little baby with. Leandra was very communicative with the updates and eased our soul while we were away - definitely loved the way she was with us and of course how she was with our puppy. Definitely recommend and definitely would rebook in the future. Leandra, thank you so much! You were amazing! :)”

“Anna was absolutely amazing! She watched our Goldendoodle, Zoie, for a full week and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring, and it was clear from the start that Zoie was in great hands. We had complete peace of mind while we were away, and came home to a very happy and well cared for dog. Zoie absolutely loved her, and we’ll definitely be using Anna again.”
“Anky was very communicative throughout the whole stay, taking time to send multiple updates each day. She also took my pup to the dog park almost every day! My dog had a blast staying at Anky’s and I’d highly recommend booking with her”
