“I was very happy to know that Mia was in good hands while we had a weekend away. Actually was later than expected and Cynthia was super cool about picking her up whenever I got there. No stress at all. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you very much!”
“Jennifer, Homer, and her family were absolutely amazing with Billie Jean! She was well taken care of. So much so, that Billie Jean would like to be adopted by Jennifer 😂”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Rex. These two weeks meant a lot to us, and seeing how happy and comfortable he was with you truly touched us. In the last four years, he has never gotten this attached to anyone — and that says everything about the love, patience, and attention you gave him. We are genuinely grateful. You are absolutely the best, and we would love for Rex to stay with you any time in the future. ❤️”
“Jayna was a dream with my Pippa! Her and her partner took such amazing care of her and I got fantastic updates while I was away on my trip. Pippa had a blast with them and was very comfortable the whole time. I'll absolutely be booking her again for my travels.”
“So glad that Jennifer took care of our Murphy. This was the first time that a non-relative took care of him. He was so happy with her. That was confirmed when we received a picture of him "roaching", something he regularly does at home. In addition, we felt that he was safe with her and her husband. Thank you so much for the care and attention that you gave him.”
“Sometimes you find a host, and sometimes you truly find a second home for your dog. Heather and Pieters’ is the latter. In fact I’d say much more than a home. They are hands down, one of the most truly loving and caring family for any pet and I’m so glad Ollie got to experience their unadulterated love and care over the weekend. They genuinely are interested in both the physical and mental well being of your dog and want to ensure that they can do whatever they can to make sure that your furball does not feel out of place one bit. As a pet parent, the most important feeling that you want to feel when you get into your car after leaving your dog at a host’s home is a feeling of security, and their place is more than what you can ever ask for.”
“Adriana did a wonderful job looking after my fur baby Finn, she sent updates and pictures regulary, and was always quick with her responses. It left me feeling relaxed while on my holidays, Finn went for hikes and to the big of leash dog park, rain or shine. Her dog Mollie and Finn got along wonderfully. I would deffinalty use her again. Thank you Adriana!!”
“What a wonderful couple. From the moment Skyla my 8 month old pup was dropped off, I felt so comfortable. You can truly tell they love taking care of dogs. I received videos and pics throughout her stay. I would 100 percent recommend them, you will not be disappointed”
“Shelly and her family have been wonderful. She was very communicative, sending updates and answering messages very quickly. I'm sure Xulgo had a blast with them all and he was very well taken care for. I will book with Shelly again for sure. 🙂”
“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!”
“Chetan took excellent care of our girl. Provided updates and told us how everything went/was going. Mochi had a great time roaming around the farm. Great value for having our dog take a mini vacation at the same time we were on vacation. Thanks Chetan.”
“Nigel and his family took such great care of my Gigi! She had so much fun playing with their dog, Ozzy, and it was wonderful knowing she was in such loving hands. I would definitely book with them again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“You couldn’t ask for a more loving and warm person to entrust with your fur babies!! I was blown away at her kindness and the way she put the needs of my loved ones above her own. I couldn’t recommend anyone better than Liz 💜💜”
“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!”
“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.”
“May did an amazing job watching my one year old dog while I was away on vacation! She is very attentive with my puppy, and treats him as one of the family. I received lots of photos and updates about his time there, walks, eating habits, etc while I was away. I would definitely recommend May to anyone looking at boarding their dog or puppy sitting.”

Matthew took amazing care of my two boys, Gus and Jaq! He sent frequent pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while they were in his care. My two frenchies clearly had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were safe and well looked after. I would absolutely recommend Matthew and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!
Nigel and his family treated Tux with so much love and care, Tux went on many walks ,had plenty of room in the house and had a great backyard to play in !. Tux absolutely loved playing with Ozzy and Nigels daughter, the family was absolutely sweet and loving, Tux was sad to come back,we look forward to returning for any needed stays! We would recommend Nigel to anyone looking for a great loving family to leave their pet with!
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.
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.

- 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

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.

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 .
