“Shelly is the best! I trust her with my baby so much so that I booked with her again. I will always book with Shelly because I know my puppy will always be so loved and cared for!!”
“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!”
“Adriana watched our golden retriever for two days and we are very happy! Adriana’s communication was great and her updates and photos were so appreciated! Our Maple had the best time with Adriana and made fast friends with her dog Molly. Maple was well taken care of and we’ll definitely use Adriana again.”
“Leaving my pup with Jennifer and Femi is like leaving her with family. Jennifer took the time to get to know my pup’s schedule, her preferences and asked for my ok before socializing her and taking her to the dog park. Both she and Femi are very attentive with my pup throughout the day. I’m able to leave her in their care with the confidence that she’ll be cared for well. Bonus: every time I check my phone, there’s an adorable update, that makes me feel a part of their day!”
“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!”
“Luna came home absolutely pooped from her weekend with Deborah and Eric - They showed her so much love and attention and play I think she will sleep for days!! They were attentive to her needs; made sure she got her meds and worked so well with her potential for reactivity on walks. They were so easy to communicate with and sent us so many updates to help us feel at ease while we were away. 10/10 stay, we will for sure be booking with them again.”
“Veronica took amazing care of my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. I would trust her again without a second thought. Oreo is a very energetic puppy, and she did an excellent job handling him. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him, and he had a great time. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Dharaben was super accommodating and patient with my anxious pup! I received frequent communication with lots of picture and updates. Will absolutely be booking with Dharaben again!”
“Chetan was an amazing sitter for Wilson over the weekend! He went above and beyond, not only did he give Wilson a bath, but he also happily extended for an extra day on my last-minute request. His communication was excellent throughout: very responsive, sent me lots of pictures, and kept me updated so I had peace of mind. He was also very accommodating with any requests I had, which made the whole experience even smoother. Wilson came home happy, clean, and clearly well cared for. I would highly recommend Chetan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Aliza is amazing! I cannot express enough gratitude for the care she provided for Maverick. I received daily pictures and videos, and Maverick loved his stay with Aliza and her family. We were anxious about leaving him behind, but she made the process easy for us and our furry friend. I highly recommend her services and will reach out to her again in the future if needed. Thank you, Aliza!”
“I cannot say enough about May and her family. Parker’s stay was seamless and left me with a calmness about leaving him. May seems to truly enjoy pups and taking care of them. I definitely recommend May and Parker shall be visiting them again soon! Thanks May. Barbara”
“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!”
“My dog Romeo loves Lindas house 🥰 truly a sanctuary of cuddles love and attention. I always get lots of updates with pictures. I was even able to book a last minute session with her as i had some errands to run that day. She is always very accommodating. Can’t wait to see Linda again !!”
“Cailynn, Roger, her two girls and dog Astro are absolutely lovely! They did a fantastic job caring for my high energy German Shorthaired Pointer Rexy for two nights. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a loving family to take your dog in and make it feel at home!”
“Olivia was a fantastic host for Alfie! She was conscientious about Alfie’s needs and went the extra mile in ensuring he was comfortable. A great communicator, she kept me updated throughout his stay. I so appreciated the whole family looking after Allie with such care and love. He came back a very happy puppy.”
“What can I say other than a fabulous care giver. Her two dogs bonded with my French bulldog and shipoo. They followed her around, they slept in her bed with her doggies. I have photos of them playing with my doggies. All four dogs had personalities that one matched one doggie of hers and same with the other. My dogs showed happiness to see me on pick up but my shipoo ran to me and back to Kelley. I saw them playing with their own toys I brought. Really the transition was not far off by how I take care of them. It was a pairing made in heaven. My doggies were on vacation too! Kelley deeply cared for my dogs welfare. So from one nurse (me), to another retired nurse, Kelley, you win the award of the year for best care. I bough to you. Bravo. Hope to see you again. Xoxo”
“Aunika was fantastic with Jolene. Her communication was prompt and she made the meet and greet, pick up and drop off super easy. Jo came come super tired form playing with her new golden friends and can’t wait for another date with them. Thank you so much!”
“Love the care and attention Mariella always gives my dog when I have him stay with her and her wonderful family. He’s always so excited to see them and knows he will get lots of love and play. Thanks again”
“I feel so lucky to have found Barbara! She is the most genuine, caring, and loving pet person and I knew the moment my dogs met her that they were going to be in the best hands. Barbara takes the time to get to know your pet, their needs and quirks. It’s so comforting to have someone we can trust with our dogs :)”

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.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
You and your Ancaster sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
