“Alyson is truly amazing! She gave us updates regularly and I felt so happy knowing our dog was in a loving place! Our dog was the happiest she’s ever been after picking her up from a sitter, so I know she was really well cared for! Will definitely plan to use Alyson again for sitting!”
“We left our dog with Lyndsey and Evan while we were on vacation, and he had a vacation of his own! He had long walks every day and lots of playtime with their dog. We got photo updates every day. We don't feel guilty leaving him because we know he is well taken care of.”
“Kristyne watched our 6-year-old Cavapoo for 7 nights and was so amazing with our pup! Our dog is a timid and sweet girl who always takes a couple of days to adjust to a new place. Kristyne kept us updated with photos and check ins, and asked questions when she had them. She took such good care of her with lots of snuggles, play time, and walks. We are so grateful and would definitely have our dog visit with Kristyne again!”
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Our pup Cody just spent a week with Lace and her pup Ty! I must say I don't think he wanted to come home. We had to pry his paws from the doorframe and offer treats to get him in the car! Lace was wonderful! From the first visit which she quickly accommodated to photos and updated while we were away. We never worried a moment leaving him with her based on our initial visit. She's professional, pup loving and very trust worthy. Can't wait to book her again!!! Thank you Lace!”
“Jodi and her family are the absolute best - our pup has stayed with them many times now during our travels. We think he might like their house better than ours and joke that he is going to sleepover camp! Highly recommend.”
“Sean provided amazing care for our pretty nervous 4 yr old Willow. Willow can be very skeptical of new people which made us a bit nervous but Sean was so accommodating and she warmed up so quickly. He provided pictures and updates, we highly recommend Sean's care if you want to travel with peace of mind! Thanks!”
“My dogs loved their time with Casey! She is so kind and took such wonderful care of our dogs. She has wonderful communication skills and sent us a bunch of adorable photos of our dogs when they were with her. Thank you again, Casey! We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Eric was great and very communicative. Ozzy had such a fun time playing with the other dogs there. We will definitely be utilizing Eric for future boarding needs.”
About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.
“Melissa is amazing! She treats my dog like her own and shares great updates. My pup always comes back happy and tired from playing with hers.”
“I would highly recommend Minglu and Yilun. They took such good care of my dog while I was on vacation. I got lots of updates with pictures and videos. I knew she was in good hands and having a good time. Minglu even cleaned her ears while she was there. Exceptional care!!”
“This was our first time boarding our 7 year old Shiba Inu and Yuanyuan took great care of him! She sent us updates, pictures, and videos of him enjoying meeting new friends, and trying new snacks. We're glad we found a reliable dog sitter in our area that our dog likes!”
“Bear, our energetic 10.5 yr old poodle, had a great time with Tessa (and Charlie) while we were out of the country. Tessa was great with communication from start to finish and kept us updated while we were away with notes and pictures. She (and Charlie) ensured Bear was part of their pack! She also made sure he ate well, especially with his picky diet and finicky eating patterns. He came back to us happy! We would absolutely call upon Tessa again to care for Bear while we are away.”
“Our pup had a great time. Debbie was excellent and sent plenty of photos and updates. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to board their dog!”

This was our first time leaving our puppy, and we were able to relax knowing she was in excellent care with a flexible, attentive dog lover. Thanks, Emily!”
“Our usual dog boarder wasn't available for a short mid-week getaway so we found Julie on Rover. She was wonderful! Julie has a lovely home with a fantastic screened porch and great flat, fenced-in yard. We met a few days before to introduce my dog to hers and share info. Julie's dog is happy and sweet and was good company for mine, in addition to Julie, while we were away. I didn't worry at all knowing our pup was in good hands. Julie even sent me a couple updates and some cute pics and a video - our dog truly had a great stay! We would definitely book Julie again. You should, too. ;)”
“Chester had a great 8 day stay with Wendy and family. We were kept up to date on how he was settling in along with regular pictures. It kept our minds at ease so that we could enjoy our trip. We would definitely recommend Wendy and hope to have Chester visit again in the future.”
