“Our dog Blue had a great time! He came home happy, content and tired. Cynthia and David have a great property, perfect for our curious dog who loves to sniff! They seemed invested in making sure they got to know Blue and that he was comfortable. Also communicated well and sent updates during the stay which were so appreciated! Would definitely book again in the future :)”
“We had to travel to Scotland at very short notice, and the last thing we needed was to be worrying about our puppy. Thankfully Cooper was in safe hands. Adriana sent us daily updates with photos of Cooper having fun on his own little vacation. We look forward to using Adriana again in the future.”
“I recently used Priyanka boarding services to look after my dog Millie and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. When I picked up Millie she was her usually happy self. I will definitely be using Priyanka again for future stays! Thank you :)”
“Yasemin and Daniel were wonderful caregivers to our pup! They sent us pictures and kept us updated on his day while we were away. They took care of him as if he was their own pet. We will definitely use their services again! Thank you!”
“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.”
“Hayley was really great with Piper, sending us photos and taking her for a long walk with her dog Penny! We felt really comfortable leaving her for the night while we attended a wedding! Would highly recommend Hayley!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Seema and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog, Max. From the moment we met, she was very friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Max was dropped off at 7:30 in the morning and picked up at 7:30 in the evening, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands throughout the day. Seema was extremely caring and loving toward Max. He had a great time playing fetch with her and was walked multiple times during the day. She made sure he was fed properly and well taken care of. Max also made a new friend, Yogi—an 11-month-old Golden Retriever—and they had an amazing time together, playing and running around in the backyard, even enjoying the snow. It was clear from the updates and interactions that Max was happy, comfortable, and well behaved in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and dedication Seema showed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Max and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Took wonderful care of our 3 month old golden retriever puppy and provided us with regular updates and photos! So great to work with and would 100% have our dog stay with them again ☺️”
“Bob & Skip were fantastic! This was our Great Dane’s first stay with them. We received picture updates everyday. Leia seemed very happy and in good spirits when we picked her up. We’ll definitely be using Bob & Skip again soon.”
“Amanda was very friendly and responsive, she sent daily updates about Tiffany. She was well taken care of and looked very happy when I came to pick her up. I will definitely recommend booking with them. Thank you Amanda & Bryan for taking good care of Tiffany while I was away.”
“Peter and his girls took such great care of our pup! We got lots of pictures and she seemed at home and relaxed! He even played a game of fetch with her! We will definitely leave our Maxi with Peter again!!”

“We had such a great first experience with Rachel! She was wonderful with our dog, very caring and attentive, and kept us updated . It was clear that he was happy and comfortable in her care, which gave us great peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Rachel look after him again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! While we were away on a 7-day family vacation, she took amazing care of Zues .. from regular walks and feeding to giving him lots of love and attention. What truly stood out were the thoughtful updates she sent us along the way, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommended.. we’re so grateful to you Karen .. thank you 🙏”

I had absolutely no worries leaving our dog with Sophie and Lucas. Their own dog is a sweetheart, and an excellent playmate. They provided pictures regularly so that I could see that our puppy was healthy and happy. She received regular walks and it was very clear that she felt at home there. I would book again with them without a doubt.
Our dog loves staying with Adriana! His tail starts wagging every time we pull up to her house. We know our dog is loved and taken care of with Adriana: she sends photos of our dog on walks and relaxing with her dog. Adriana is very kind and easy to communicate with. We'll be back.
This was our first time leaving our puppy. Barbara was a perfect fit. We had a meet and greet before hand and I felt very comfortable leaving Bentley in her care while we would be away. I did not worry about him at all while we were gone, I knew he was getting lots of love and care and that was worth so much for me as I tend to be an anxious person. I would not hesitate to recommend Barbara to anyone, and I am certain Bentley will be thrilled to return to her the next time we go away.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ancaster 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 Ancaster
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. On Rover:
- 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
