I am really happy to have Peter visiting my dog while I am at work! He is reliable, caring, and professional. Peter drops in several times per week to check on Max, plays with him outside, makes sure he has fresh water, and always gets him safely back inside, even when Max decides he’d much rather keep playing outside 😂 I really appreciate how patient he is with him and how comfortable I feel knowing Max is in his care. I trust him to take good care of Max and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable to look after their dog!
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Hayley always made me feel completely comfortable and gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I really trusted her to take care of him, and it was obvious how much she genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. My dog absolutely loves playing with her, and I could tell he was happy and comfortable in her care. I also really appreciated the photo updates she left for me, because it was so nice to see him having fun and know how he was doing while I was away. I’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and would happily have her look after him again. 🐾❤️
Nora was amazing with Bailey, she sent us pictures of her time with him. This was my first time using the Rover app and honestly won’t be the last. Nora showed such care, professionalism and put my mind at ease, knowing Bailey was well looked after. I highly recommend Nora for your dog sitting needs!

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
