“Our pup Beth had the best time with Shannon! Thank you Shannon for taking such good care of Beth and for sending us so many photos and updates! It was such a comfort to know Beth was in such good hands.”
“Paige is so reliable and kind hearted. I can’t thank her enough for helping us out and going the extra mile to make things convenient for us when we needed it. Our pup pup feels so comfortable with her and we highly recommend her if you’re on the hunt for a great sitter!!”
“Very pleased with Hong and Marks wonderful care of my baby Kaos! I boarded her for about 4 days and felt at ease with them. I was sent lots of pictures/videos and updates throughout the weekend which I highly appreciate. Kaos is quite reactive to other dogs/animals and they were very understanding of that and adjusted to her comfortability. At one point Kaos had a little trouble sleeping through the night but Hong was quick to find a solution to fix that. Thank you guys so much!! Highly recommend using them!”
“Shelley is an absolute queen. I could tell my pup was sad when he left :( She was always quick to respond, met with me before so she could ask me specific questions about my breed of dog and explain to me his routine so she could take the best care of him possible. You can tell animals have her heart and it’s her passion to take care of them. She even took the time to clip Archies nails and give him some ointment for his ear that was bugging him. Would recommend her to absolutely anyone. She is a treasure forsure ?”
“Arlene and Kevin provided a safe and loving environment for our elderly dog Scout over the Easter weekend. We were very nervous about leaving him but they sent us pictures and texts to let us know that he had settled and was quite comfortable. We highly recommend them to care for your pet.”
“During the stay of kali I received regular updates with photos from Marie ,which helped put my mind at ease. Kali seemed happy and well adjusted when I picked her up. I am so grateful to have found a place I can trust completely, and I will absolutely be booking with Marie again in the future.”
“I recently had my first experience with Andre and his sweet family. I couldn’t be happier than this. From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Andre is knowledgeable and genuinely cares about animals. He took the time to understand my dog's routine and preferences, which was reassuring. He responds very quickly to all my messages..Milo seemed happy, comfortable and well-cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Andre to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter. I will definitely be using his services again”
“This was our Dog's first time staying with a sitter, and we were honestly nervous about using Rover. We had tried other sitters for a fit, but she never connected with them. With our trip coming up, we found Shelly and her family at the very last minute and didn’t even have time for a meet‑and‑greet. What immediately drew us in was that they had young kids even more than having their own dogs because she absolutely loves children. We knew the transition would be hard for her, but Shelly and her family went above and beyond. They sent us daily updates, were incredibly patient, and gave her the space she needed. Over time, she warmed up and even started going on walks with them after 3days of not going on a walk, She quickly transitioned to 4 walks in a day. Shelly was reassuring throughout, reminding us that given her age, this adjustment was completely normal, and that by her third stay she’d likely be even more comfortable. I would recommend Shelly and her family over and over again.”
“Amy was amazing!! I can't say enough! Amy sent pictures regularly of our two dogs, Baby and Jack. Our dogs are both a bit older, 12 and 14 and Jack has some hearing and vision loss, however he looked totally content and happy with Amy. Baby also looked like she was very content, even sleeping under Amy' desk by her feet, just like Baby does at home with me. My husband and I felt very relaxed knowing our dogs were happy and content. This was our first time using Rover and so having our dogs with someone they don't know was a first for us but I am happy to say I would definitely have Amy watch them again when we travel in future. Thank you so much Amy! Janet and Barry”
“I just met Yasmine and she was so nice. Bear was welcomed into her home with open arms. I’m sure he loved hanging around with Bruno all day and with the rest of the family. Thank you for taking such good care of Bear today.”
“Uchenna was the ideal host for Piper! She was kind, communicated great, and sent frequent updates and pictures. Having her dog Owen around was a huge comfort, Piper had a sweet companion by her side the whole weekend. Her location right near the trails meant plenty of outdoor time for the dogs. As first-time boarders, we couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely use Uchenna again!”
“Cassandra and her family are fantastic! I’ve booked with her a few times now and she always takes such good care of my puppy. She’s very attentive and gives great updates! Will definitely recommend her!!”
“Amanda and her family took amazing care of Ripley while we were away! From the initial meet and greet to the boarding of Ripley, Amanda made the entire process smooth and a positive experience for Ripley and us.”
“Melanie and her family took such amazing care of our girl Winnie! I could see that she immediately felt at ease and comfortable in their home. Melanie was very caring and attentive to all her need; you can tell she truly loves animals (and they love her back). She. Is also very responsive, sending regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her services and would have Winnie stay with her again in a heartbeat!!”
“Another excellent stay with Deepti and Sachin, our go-to sitters in Guelph. Great communication, lots of love and exercise for our dog. We feel completely comfortable knowing our pup is well cared for. Highly, highly recommended.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Acton
We had an incredible experience with Sahar. We often take our dogs with us because it can be difficult to find good care for them. Sahar went above and beyond in the care of our dogs for the weekend. Highly recommend Sahar, she was just fantastic to deal with and our dogs were given lots of love and exceptional care. Highly recommend!
Anbarasi and V took wonderful care of Jackson for three weeks, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She has a great home in a lovely neighbourhood with a nice yard, which was perfect for Jackson. Jackson was happy, comfortable, and healthy throughout his stay. We also really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He got along with Tintin too! Thank you Anbarasi and V for taking such great care of Jackson. We would definitely trust you with him again and highly recommend you to other pet parents!
Tiffany was great . She was well organized and followed our directions exactly .We met her a few weeks before we went away. A friend took her and picked up for us as we were on an extended vacation . She sent lots of messages and videos . I felt our pet was well looked after in a friendly family home . Highly recommend and would definitely reuse her if we need a dog sitter again
I liked that my dog was happy, played outside in the backyard with the other dogs. She did not want to eat and Yasmine helped her with adding some treats sprinkled on top of her regular food. I received pictures and videos almost daily. I got information and answers promptly. Yasmine and her family were very pleasant and helpful.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Acton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Acton
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
