“Tia and her family welcomed our girlie into their home with open arms and took such great care of her. We got lots of photo updates and even a video! Highly recommend Tia and her family! We will be back ???”
“I can’t recommend Jeff enough! He was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. Luke was happy, well cared for, and relaxed when I returned. Jeff kept me updated and followed all instructions perfectly. Will 100% book again.”
“A wonderful experience - while we were away and our girls were on their ‘retreat’ they were cared for with absolute love. Our dogs became part of their family, and the daily photos let us know that the girls were both settling in and then perfectly at home. The girls got into their regular habits, playing with each other, sleeping on the back of the couch, and Julia even held an umbrella for Scarlett when it rained! Would send the girls on retreat again any time!”
“Maria was so thorough in taking care of our pup! Before we dropped him off, Maria reached out to ask about any specific needs of our dog. She took him on a walk and played with him. It was clear that she was very knowledgeable on how to handle and take care of dogs. Very pleased with the service!”
About: Hi! I’m Karina, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals, especially dogs. Dogs have a special way of bringing me back to calm, connection and joy. I truly believe every dog has their own personality, story and unique way of speaking to your soul. ❤️ I love caring for animals with all kinds of needs, and I have a special soft spot for the ones who need a little extra TLC. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals who have experienced abandonment, neglect, anxiety and fear, and I’ve always loved finding ways to help them feel safe, build trust and create a special bond. Seeing an animal overcome a fear, become more confident and experience life a little more fully brings me so much happiness. Every animal deserves to feel safe, loved and happy! My experience comes from all the amazing animals who have crossed my path with different personalities and needs. I’ve cared for anxious, fearful and reactive dogs, as well as plenty of happy, easygoing pups who simply want to walk, play, explore and soak up some attention. I always approach each dog with patience, positive reinforcement, respect and lots of love. Within my family, circle of friends and neighbourhood community, I’ve naturally become the go-to person for dog sitting, check-ins and plenty of extra TLC. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love being available when people need someone they trust. And if I’m at a social gathering and there’s a dog in the room… well, that’s my new buddy! 😂🐶 I’m usually the person saying hello, giving them some attention and getting to know them. I love taking dogs on walks and little adventures, watching them explore, sniff, play and experience new things. I also enjoy giving them one-on-one relaxation and pampering time, including gentle stretching, massage and wellness care. Dogs give us so much love, and I think they deserve plenty of time to relax and be spoiled, too! My background also includes working with children with special needs, seniors and foster care, which has taught me to be especially nurturing, patient and attentive to individual needs. I have a current broad police check and take the trust that comes with caring for someone’s beloved pet very seriously. My services include: • Dog walking and adventure walks • Dog visits and companionship • Wellness and check-in visits • At-home pampering and relaxation • Gentle stretching and massage • Personalized care for anxious, fearful or reactive dogs I don’t just want to care for your dog — I want them to feel cared for, understood and loved. ❤️ If your dog loves attention, affection, adventure and being doted on, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 I am a stay-at-home mom with a lot of availability and flexibility. I enjoy being out and traveling, and what better way to be busy than playing with pets! I have a fenced yard and a comfortable, pet-friendly home where dogs can feel safe, relaxed and cared for. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their own home, I take the time to get to know them and pay attention to their body language, energy and behaviour so I can understand what they may need. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to make reasonable adjustments to help them feel comfortable. If a dog is anxious, nervous or overwhelmed, I’ll adjust my approach and environment to help them settle in. If they’re playful and adventurous, I’m happy to keep them engaged and active. And if they simply want to relax beside me and receive some extra love and attention, I’m more than happy to spoil them! I aim to provide thoughtful, personalized care based on each pet’s personality and comfort level. My goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, happy and cared for while you’re away, with plenty of patience, affection and attention along the way. 🐾❤️
“We have used Melissa and Nigel multiple times now and we have built such an amazing relationship with them. We truly trust that they will always take the best care of our little dog and feel very comfortable and confident every time we drop her off! Highly recommended!!”
“Our Boxer was very well cared for and Monica provided regular updates, pics and videos. She is clearly an avid dog lover and we felt very trusting in her ability to provide a safe and enjoyable weekend for our dog. Many thanks!”
About: I’m a practising Veterinary Technician of over 23 years. I have a passion for dog training, nutrition and Senior dog care. I treat all dogs like my own. All the time. I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I work Monday to Thursday. I have long days BUT I have the privilege of being able to take my dogs to work with me! I take both of my boys to work 1 day a week each, maybe 2 😉 As long as your baby is ok with the car, actually a Jeep, we will fit together perfectly ❤️ We have daily walks and go on hikes a few times a week. I have 2 friendly dogs, a dog savvy cat and 2 Guinea Pigs that are in a separate room. We are a very pet friendly home. I do have a pool but have a separate fence that can be closed if my fury visitor is not pool savvy. I can crate if needed. My house has 2 floors, with a basement that is usually closed off.
“We are very happy with Xintian and the way our dog was taken care of. We received updates along the day and were able to communicate with Xintian in real time. This was the first time for our dog at Xintian’s and we were very pleased with the experience. Very accomodating and helpful. Thank you for taking such good care of Coco!”
“Caroline is great with dogs and took great care of our baby while we were away. She has a great fenced in yard with lots of lawn and a nice neighbourhood for walks. We will be using her again for sure!”
“You can tell Lori really cares about the dogs and treats them as she would her own. She comes across as very friendly and knowledgeable. Our dogs had a blast socializing with other dogs and the neighborhood kids while visiting her place. We appreciated the many updates we got while we were away. Would definitely book again!”
“Ankur and Krupa were great hosts. They send constant updates regarding your pet, photos and videos as well. I did not have to worry about my pet when I was away. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful away time.”
“It was our first time to use Rover so we weren’t sure how it was gonna go. Arlene did amazing with our senior dog (blind & deaf). She was so patient with him. Our dog usually gets really stressed in the past at the kennel but it looked like Snoopy has an amazing time with Arlene. Thank you Arlene!”
“I boarded my dog Latte with Siddharth for a week and he was absolutely wonderful with her. He sent pictures throughout so I didn't worry at all, and he was very communicative and attentive to my instructions for Latte. He did such a good job I'm afraid to say Latte didn't even look like she missed me when I picked her up!”
“Shruthi and Sharath were just outstanding. They kept us informed all the time with pics and status updates. They recognized our concern areas and made every single effort to make Bella and us super comfortable.it was the most peaceful and greatest experience we have had with boarding Bella. Thank you SNS!”
“Heather was great at excepting my last minute booking, keeping Jax nice and cool on a hot summer day He seemed right at ease in her home Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him this Canada Day!”

Hayley was a great dog sitter for our boy Lou. We initially had a meet and greet which went well. When we dropped Lou off a couple of weeks later, he was so excited to see her again. She sent lots of updates and pics. She even dropped Louie off after. 10/10 would book again.
Thank you again Melissa and Nigel for your taking such good care of our Ekko. We were delighted to see that he had some great interaction with some other dogs. This was one of his longer stays, so it meant a lot to us knowing he was happy and comfortable. We’re grateful for your continued care of our boy.
Stacey, we are so grateful for the wonderful care you gave our dog! Thank you Stacey was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was so attentive and caring, kept us updated, and sent us pictures throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. It was clear that he was treated so well and was happy and comfortable with her. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in Stacey’s care and would definitely have her look after him again! ❤️
This was the first time I boarded my 4-month old puppy, Tilly. She did pretty good considering it was her first time away from us. She had a few accidents in the house, but Karen was completely understanding. Karen did everything to make Tilly's stay as comfortable in as possible and to comfort her so she wasn't missing us too much. I highly recommend Karen for your daycare/boarding needs.
Everything happens for a reason and I’m so thankful to have found Lisseth as a sitter for my dog and kitten. I only had a few days to find a sitter as a previously booked one had to cancel and Lisseth graciously accepted my last minute request. She is kind, friendly and patient and my pets were given excellent care. I received pictures and videos of my pets and I honestly can’t even put into words how wonderful of a sitter Lisseth is. I am forever grateful ❤️
We’ve had Jackson stay with Erin twice now, and both experiences have been wonderful. We were honestly a little skeptical about whether Jackson would be comfortable staying overnight, especially after a less-than-great experience with another Rover sitter back in 2022. But Erin completely changed that. Jackson settled in quickly, was very comfortable with Erin, her family, and her dog Callie, and clearly enjoyed his stays. We’re planning a three-week trip to India next year, so we wanted to find someone Jackson could get comfortable with well in advance. After these two stays, we feel we’ve found the right person. We’ll be having him stay with Erin regularly so her home can become his comfortable “second home.” Erin has been fantastic with Jackson, and we highly recommend her!
Mandeep was fantastic with our dog! He took great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. Our dog seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we picked him up. Mandeep was friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. We would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him!
Yvonne and Troy were wonderful with my 2 dogs. They provided a special care for my senior dog that required a lot os attention. They were communicating with me providing updates and handle my other anxious dog with lots of love. We were really happy with all and my dogs too. Thank you 🙏 both.
I’m really happy with the care my puppy received. Carlo spent a lot of time with her, took her on walks, and made sure she wasn’t left alone feeling lonely. It was obvious that he genuinely cared about her well-being, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She came home happy and relaxed. I’d definitely trust him with her again. Thank you!
She was our first dog sitter through the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took such great care of our dog, and we could tell Jasper had a fantastic time while we were away. She also kept us updated with texts, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would definitely love to book her again in the future!
We’ve had Suci host our cats, Yuki and Bijou, twice now, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. From the very beginning, she and her family have been incredibly warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with cats. Yuki and Bijou were well cared for, comfortable, and came home relaxed and happy each time—which says everything. Suci kept us updated throughout their stay, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she treats every pet like part of her own family, and that level of care is hard to find. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
