“Shelby and Robbie were great! They were so patient with our rebellious pup. He is a COVID puppy and has never been away from us....not even for a day. He definitely acted out, but Robbie and Shelby were patient and kind during the entire time. They sent us pictures and updates often. They certainly made us feel comfortable.”

I would recommend Sarah and her family to any family with a pup. They are the best! Thank you all so much for providing Alfie with such an awesome first experience.”

“Breanna is GREAT! She was very communicative and understanding of my pets different needs. My cat who doesn’t come from under the couch for anyone was comfortable enough to play and even get a few pets.”
“So grateful to have Kaylee watch our cat once again. We got very detailed updates about her every visit, and she was very content by the time we got home, which was a huge relief. Kaylee takes incredible care of our pets and our home. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Lyra & giving us peace of mind! ❤️”
“Rachel was wonderful with my little buddy, Shiloh!! I felt so comfortable knowing she was going to be there checking in on him and he really loved her. Rachel gave detailed messages of her check in and lots of photos. So glad he’s made a new friend in Rachel and I have an amazing care taker to care for my pet when I can’t be there with him. Thanks so much Rachel!!”
“Jacqueline was great! She was very communicative and consistent with her drop-in visits. I really appreciated her attention to detail. Will be booking again when I need another sitter.”

About: My love affair with cats started in childhood and has continued throughout my entire life. I've been a dedicated cat parent for 25+years, having shared my home with multiple feline companions of various breeds and personalities – from playful kittens to calm seniors. This lifelong experience has taught me everything from decoding subtle purrs and meows to understanding unique dietary needs and creating a safe, stimulating environment. I'm adept at everything from meticulous litter box care and playful enrichment to gentle medication administration and providing comforting companionship.
“Olivia was fantastic! I highly recommend her if you live in the area. We went away for 7 days to the Caribbean and we asked her to come over for 5 of the 7 days to look after our 2 4-month old kittens. She came over everyday and fed them, changed their water, maintained the liter boxes and even found time to play with them. The best part is she gave a detailed report of what was going on each day that included tons of photos of our kittens. Over the 5 days, she took over 50 pictures for us (13 of them in one day). She made us feel so secure and comfortable while we were away knowing our furry babies were well looked after that we were able to have a super vacation free from worry. I cannot say enough nice things about Olivia. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
“Sarah is the best! She really cared about our cats and took great care of them while we were gone. She was detail-oriented and checked in with me when she had questions. I would definitely request her again.”
“Ana is absolutely the best! This is my second time having her watch my cat and, no surprise, she did an amazing job, as expected. She is so kind and takes her time to make sure my cat is happy and getting some love while I’m away. Shes so kind and thoughtful and sends excellent updates and photos. Highly recommend for all your pet care needs!”
“Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again”
“Robyn was a help from the start! Her meet & greet with us made me feel like she would not only take great care of our cat but also our home. She clearly knows what pets need and made sure we all felt great before her visits. Her check-ins were thorough and caring. Our cat isn’t always social and Robyn was happy to love on her even if she was hiding. Her updates were informative and detailed. We are so lucky to have Robyn in our rotation of trustworthy Rovers to take care of our cat queen. Will absolutely book again!”

“Juliana was so sweet and out meet and greet ahead of time was fabulous! Our Puppy got along so well with her pups and one other she was watching. Paulie is still sleeping off all the sun and activity he had yesterday!!”
“Robbie and Shelby were great to work with! I know that Frankie had a fun time with their pups. I received lots of pics throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. I plan to use them again for day care and boarding.”
“Diana did a great job with my dog Tigger. Very communicative and helpful with scheduling pick up and drop off. Tigger can get anxious but Diana did a good job making sure he was comfortable and happy.”
“Michell was great! He paid attention to concerns I had about my dog’s needs and made me feel confident leaving him. Their house has a great set up for dogs to have what they need on their day away from home. I recommend and will return with our pup. Thanks Michell.”
“Donte was great with Blue. He really helped us out with a last-minute weekend daycare booking, and Blue was very excited to go back. We received photos and videos during his visits and we will definitely look to Donte for future daycare visits.”
“This is the second time we had Benjamin take care of Beau. I feel very comfortable leaving our dog with him because I know he is going to be taken care of. We will definitely be using his services in the future.”
“Ronon has spent the day with Samantha five times now. This morning when I said "you're going to Sam's today to play with Petunia," he started barking and zooming around. When I picked him up at the end of the day, he was happy and relaxed. What more could I ask for?”
“Tim came highly recommended, and now I know why! He was so understanding and patient as I navigated having him care for my senior dog, and he was clearly attentive to her. I will be back!”
“Lauren was great with Roxie! She was kind enough to help us out with short notice and made Roxie feel like she was right at home. Roxie is a senior pup with special needs”
“Barthalomew was super flexible and helpful with my dog Pumpkin. She had a great time with him and his dog. He was also responsive and easy to coordinate with. Will be using his services again”
“Ronon came home happy and relaxed from daycare at Sean's place, so I know he had a good time. (He has separation anxiety and big feelings, so if he's been stressed or unhappy when we're apart, it's pretty obvious.) Sean has a great, chill vibe and was very attentive to everything I told him about Ronon before his first visit. I will definitely book daycare with Sean again!”
“Christopher took Everest on a bunch of walks and fun adventures! I can definitely tell she loves being dropped off with him and I have no concerns that she won’t be taken care of when I leave her with Christopher!”
“This was my first time being away from my puppy and John was great, gave me updates and some pictures throughout the day. Even cleaned the carrier for me when Lou Lou had a little accident, thank you again!”
“Alex was very responsive and able to accept a last minute request. He sent pictures as promised and Rosie was calm and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Alex again.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for cats, dogs, fish, rodents and reptiles for more than 45 years. I would be happy to share the love with your furry (or otherwise) family members too. I currently have a sheepadoodle that loves other dogs and people, so he would love to have a playmate to come and take walks and spend time with us. I currently work from home so I have plenty of freedom to spoil all the pets in my care. I do look after my 3 year old grandson sometimes so getting along with children would be an important quality if your pet should come to stay with me. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly sheepadoodle that gets along with both dogs and cats. We love to go on walks too.
“Jason is amazing! Our pup Lucy is very shy around both people and dogs and Jason has provided the perfect combination of comfort and fun for her to come out of her shell more. His dog Ava is playful, sweet and well trained. Jason communicates well and sends pictures/videos throughout the day. Highly recommend Jason! Your dog will be happy and well cared for.”
“Janelle took great care of my pup! She shared plenty of updates and followed his care instructions. My dog had a great time hanging with her and Bentley!”
“Madeline was amazing and her house is so cute and dog friendly. She was very communicative while our pup was staying with her. Absolutely plan on having her sit Barkley again!”

“Bree is always on time, does a full walk, takes photos, knows our two dogs (they both love her), and is so good at all of this that she gets it done with no disruption to our work from home situation. She is exactly what we have been looking for.”
“Olivia has been absolutely amazing with my two dogs. I've got a giant breed pup who isn't the easiest to handle (or the smartest), but Olivia has been great with him. She's also been incredibly professional, prompt, and handled the curveballs pets love to throw (like handling when one dog got an upset stomach and had an accident).”
“Rachel takes care of my dog as if he were her own! He is always happy to see her and go on his walks. Rachel gives me peace of mind when I’m working and is very trustworthy!”
“This was the first time using Rover, and a dog walker at that, so I was super nervous. Nicole was fantastic from the very moment we made contact. Glad Marley will now have someone to help when I am away for a day.”
“Melissa is an amazing dog walker. I called her on short notice when a last-minute glitch came up; she offered to video call so we could expedite the meet and greet process. She and AJ hit it off right away, and she communicated during the entire process. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Andrea is doing wonderfully with our dog Bear. Bears a little shy around new people but she took right to Andrea and is excited every time she comes to our home. Andrea is also incredibly flexible and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”
“Helena went above and beyond! I reached out last minute because I was stuck at work and she was able to walk my dog. She took the time to make sure my dog was comfortable and familiar with her before they went for a walk. She also refilled his water bowl! My dog is very timid and shy with new people but he warmed to Helena with just a few treats.”
“Briana was amazing! She was extremely responsive and took great care of our puppy for us! We will definitely ask Briana to watch Winnie again!”
“Matthew is fantastic. My corgi had some special neurological needs and some behavioral issues as a result. Matthew is patient and kind in all of his interactions with Zeke. He is timely and professional. He put my mind at ease as I returned back to the office. He sends plenty of pictures showing how much fun they are having walking and playing. I would use him again as needed. Highly recommend.”
“Dante was incredible with our dogs, we hired him for 10 days while i was recovering from surgery and our dogs loved him and he was so loving with them and it really showed how much he cares about them. we would absolutely recommend him to care for your pets if you’re looking for someone. i can’t say enough good things about him, don’t look any further! he’s a gem. thank you!”
“Danielle had been great with Okami. He's usually very reserved and defensive with new people. But he warned up to her in just two walks. Bonus is that she takes tons of photos.”
About: My first memory was reaching out to pet the family dog and by the age of 8 I was the main care taker and trainer of our family pets (Sheltie, Poodle, Akita, Bearded Dragon). By 14 began pet sitting ranging from puppies at 8 months to senior dogs at 17 years old. I have cared for many of my neighbors pets that includes cats, hedgehogs, and hamsters. As I got older, I became braver and currently have two snakes. I am home full time and typically start my day with a morning walk which is always more appreciated with a four legged friend or two. In my care I offer daily updates and photos. For check-ins I typically stay for an hour to ensure the pets are well taken care of as well as provide extra walks or play time for the more energetic.
