“Very pleased with the overall experience. Cynthia and David took great care of our poodle Chewie. It was his first experience being away for two weeks. Cynthia provided regular updates including pictures showing his daily routine. Would definitely recommend over a conventional kennel. Less stress for Chewie and us knowing he was well cared for.”
“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.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our Winnie! You went above and beyond taking our pup on hikes every day and sending daily photos. This was our first time having to leave her, and you put us at ease with the way you took such good care of our girl!”
“Daniel and Yasemin took such great care of my Gigi! They followed all of my instructions and provided daily updates, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely reassured knowing she was in such good hands. I will definitely be rebooking with them again!”
“Highly pleased that Jennifer ( and family) made "Pippa" a member of their household for this weekend. It was a first time stay so was unsure how anxious she might be. Jennifer sent texts and pictures letting me know she was just fine. Jennifer's Pug and my Maltese/ Pomeranian looked like they were enjoying each other.”
“My 11 year old dog stayed with Chetan and had an amazing time! From drop off, we were not rushed out, he allowed us to say hello to his many animals which was very lovely. It was also very nice to have the opportunity for my dog to meet other animals, such as goats. Chetan sent me plenty of videos and photos of Hunter during his stay which I 100% appreciated! It allowed me to feel very calm as I knew Hunter was not only in good hands, but also having a lot of fun himself. Hunter enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be back again.”
“Aishwarya took good care of Cocoa, she had so much fun! She kept me updated with pictures and videos. She was tired and happy when we brought her home. Thank you Aishwarya!”
“Priyanka took great care of our dog. The dog sensed her calm demeanor and was more than happy to go into her home without a struggle. During our time away we got frequent updates and pictures. I would definitely trust Priyanka to look after my dog in the future.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Manvi for our dog! From day one, it felt like we were leaving him with a trusted family member. Manvi treated him like her own, showing genuine care and affection. We loved getting frequent updates with lots of pictures and videos of their walks and playtime—it completely put our minds at ease. He absolutely loved his stay, and we will definitely be booking with Manvi again.”
“The whole family is soo caring and lovely! Loompa looked soo happy. We were updated with every single details and Loompa was taken amazing care. Felt stressfree as he was in lovely hands! Thank you soo much Debora, Eric and kids!”
“Amanda and Bryan are amazing! My boxer is a little timing, needing extra love and care and Amanda and her family were so great with him. They treated him like their own, so much so that he was so sad coming home. I would absolutely recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to board with them in the future!”
“I’m so happy that I discovered your services. Cyndy was amazing and my Yuki-Bear was a very happy puppy. From booking-to drop off to -pickup, everything was smooth. I am grateful that my puppy got such amazing care while I was out of town for a few days.”
“Dr. Anna O. was a wonderful sitter and took great care of Kaya while we were away. We can't be more happy with the service as well as the regular messages and photos that were sent to us to keep us posted on how Kaya is doing. I'd highly recommend Dr. Anna for your pet sitting needs. She really cares and makes sure your pet feels loved and safe while you're away.”
“Jayna was fabulous with our dogs and one of them is definitely a handful - full of puppy energy and a lot of bounce! 🤣 We’d highly recommend her and will definitely bring the boys back to her (when the little one’s energy balances out a bit!)”
“Lina was great with our dog Millie. She kept in touch with us and gave us updates about Millie’s day. Millie looked very happy and at home with Lina. We will definitely book her again for dog sitting services. Thank you!”
“Barbara was wonderful with my dog. I received daily updates, pictures and even a video. I missed my dog while I was away, but knowing Samantha was in good hands with Barbara put my mind at ease!”
“I can't say enough good things about Liz. This was the first time to put our cat with someone new but Liz's love and kindness put us to ease. She sent daily photo updates, she treated Quinn like her own. There was no other pets and the house is well prepared for hosting pets. Quinn definitely miss her and will be back for sure. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended”
“Angela and her family took great care of Neko! It was clear they made him feel at home and I was very comfortable leaving him in her care. I definitely recommend Angela to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment to leave their fur baby!”

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.
