“Jennifer is amazing!! It’s my first time using Rover for my puppy and she put all my nerves at ease. She sent daily pictures and updates which I really appreciated. Noodle can’t wait to go back! Thank you again Jennifer!”


“I can’t say enough great things about Veronique and Jonathan! They were amazing with my puppy, Oakley, providing her with exceptional doggy day care. They kept her active, engaged, and ensured she was well taken care of throughout the day. It was such a relief to know Oakley was in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch care!”


“Absolutely loved Donna for our pup! First time ever using a dog sitter and she is great. I felt comfortable right her right away and knew our puppy would be in safe hands. Thank you for great first experience, we will now be regulars 😀”



“Catherine is wonderful and I can tell she truly cares about all the dogs in her care! Our Frenchton 8 month old puppy Opie went to Catherine recently for daycare and had a great time. I was nervous because Opie had never spent the day away from home before but Catherine made sure to share plenty of pictures and kept me involved throughout the day with how he was doing. I also appreciated that if she was unsure of something, she didn't hesitate to ask me. I know he had a great time not just from the pictures but also the fact that he slept for hours when we got home! It was the reviews that led me to reach out to Catherine and I can't say how relieved I am to know I now have someone I can trust to care for our pup whenever we need it.”

I never leave them alone they are always by my side or being watched in my care. I had a 12 year old Lab/mix senior dog that passed away Jan 2025 that always received a lot of attention from me and would like to do the same for your pet too. I would be available any day of the week or weekend's to take care of your pets needs. Just let me know!

I would take care of your furry friend like he/she is my own.When your away,I would keep you informed on how your pet is doing either in your home or mine and send pictures of your furry friend and let you know how they are doing everyday.

“I found out the day before that I needed a sitter for my 8 month old, yet to be neutered, tank of a puppy, Apollo. Having previously left him with only family members, and only a handful of times, we were a little nervous. When we first got there, Apollo immediately seemed to feel comfortable, not even looking back at me. I received photos a few hours in, and when it was time to pick him up, Apollo was trying to climb into a lap (he’s 75 lbs), and was being praised as a love, cuddle bug! Overall positive, seamless experience and I would book again.”


“We brought our year old yellow lab, Nash, to Laurie for daycare. Our new jobs dont allow us to give him the exercise and attention dogs need until night time, so we brought our boy to Laurie this week. We (and Nash) could not be happier so far. We like the home environment and backyard area and think that Nash likes it also. Laurie has been very accommodating with times and quick to answer questions, and cares a lot about the safety of the dogs who stay with her.”

“Emily is absolutely amazing!!!!! I have a beautiful toy poodle and I recently dropped her off at a kennel for "daycare" and when I went to pick her up, she had a fracture that still to this day they cannot explain hoe it happened. Ever since that traumatized experience ive been very apprehensive about leaving my puppy with anyone. Emily and her fiancé was very understanding and supportive of all of my concerns. Emily suggested a meet and greet which went so well. She was able to reassure that my puppy was in good hands. She showed me the space where my journie will be staying which was very warm, welcoming, and clean. My puppy stayed a few hours with Emily, and she kept me up-to-date with pictures, videos, and texts throughout her entire stay. I was so appreciative of how Emily took the time to keep me posted throughout the day and my mind was completely at ease for the first time in a long time. Not to mention my journie was very happy... I Highly, Highly recommend Emily's service for your pet stay.THEY ARE IN GREAT HANDS!!!!”
