“Aishwarya had my girl for one night, kept me updated with videos & left my mind at ease knowing my puppy was in good hands. My dog had ample space to run & play & even made a new friend; I would bring her back!”
“Barbara took incredible care of Peaches for almost a month while we were overseas visiting family. I felt confident that Peaches was happy and well taken care of and didn’t have a single worry! Thank you Barbara for keeping me updated and taking such good care of her!”
“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 !!”
“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”
“Janice was super with our cat! She gave her some time outside, which Jackie loves. She made herself right at home and cuddled with Janice. From the pictures she sent us, we could tell that she felt very comfortable with her. Janice gave her the medication she needs, and looked after her meal requirements. We have full confidence in bringing Jackie back for another visit.”
“Our dog Layla had a wonderful time with Matthew. During the stay, Matthew kept us posted with pictures, mostly outdoors. Layla loves it. Thank you so much Matthew for your care and attention.”
“I left him for a week when on vacation and will definitely leave him again. Mariella took excellent care of my dog, plenty of updates and he was very happy. he got plenty of walks and play time. she and her family definitely know how to treat a dog. Zuzu says hi BTW :)”
“Samson had an amazing time with Karen and her family! The pictures she sent made me unsure that Samson would want to come home! Lol. I wholeheartedly recommend Karen to look after your fur kids! Samson is already looking forward to staying with her again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Manvi and the incredible care she provided for our golden doodle, Mango. Leaving your fur baby behind while traveling is never easy, but from the very start, Manvi was very trustworthy. Mango can be quite a picky eater, and Manvi went above and beyond—taking extra time and initiative to make sure he ate well. It meant the world to us knowing she treated him like her own. He had a blast playing with her daughter and was visibly comfortable and happy with their whole family at all times. Throughout our trip, we received regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us such peace of mind. Seeing Mango relaxed, well cared for, and having fun made all the difference. I would recommend Manvi without hesitation and will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you, Manvi”
“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”
“Christine is such an amazing caregiver! Loompa loved staying there and had fun with her 2 fur babies. She made sure to update us every day with his activities and with lots of pictures. Therefore we had a stressfree trip. We would definitely rebook for future. Thank you!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and giving medication when needed. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. There are two people in my household, so there is almost always someone at home to supervise and take care of the dogs. Even if we go out, it is never for very long, so your pet will not be left alone for extended periods. I can take dogs on daily walks and also bring them to nearby parks so they can get exercise and enjoy the outdoors. I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I only accept a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each dog receives enough care and attention. I will treat every dog like my own and do my best to make them feel happy and comfortable while staying with me. I am a student at McMaster University and spend most of my time at home. I do not need to go to campus very often, and even when I do, I am usually not away for long periods of time. I personally provide all care for pets in my home, including feeding, walking, supervision, and attention. Your dog will not be left alone for long periods, and I will make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I truly love dogs and have experience caring for pets. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for all pets in my home. I always supervise dogs closely and make sure they are never left alone for long periods of time. I follow each dog’s routine and any instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and special care requirements. I also make sure the environment is secure and free of hazards. If any issues arise, I will communicate with the owner right away and handle the situation responsibly. My priority is always to ensure that every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“10 stars if we could! May was absolutely amazing! She looked after our little Bijou the night of our wedding and even offered to pick her up from the venue so we didn't have to worry about dropping her off after the ceremony. Sent lots of pictures and could tell bijou felt right at home!”
“Julia was amazing with my dog Ivy! Ivy is a Miniature Pinscher who ran be rambunctious at times and likes to be vocal but Julia handled her very well! She kept me well updated, with lots of photos, walks and playtime. She also made sure that all of Ivy's needs were met. It was my first time using Rover and was nervous with anyone watching Ivy but I fully trust Julia! I would rebook again, and I recommend her as an amazing sitter to watch your pet!”
“Henry recently boarded our male golden retriever for 5 days while we were on vacation. Pickle was very comfortable in Henry’s home, and Henry sent a daily photo and update, which was nice to have. We would gladly board with Henry again! :)”
“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!”
“Pei went absolutely above and beyond in caring for my dog, Louisa. Louisa is a nervous mastiff and can be quite particular, so finding someone I trust with her is no small thing, and Pei exceeded every expectation. From the start, Pei created such a calm and welcoming environment. Louisa was given the time and space she needed to settle in at her own pace, and it was clear she felt safe to gradually explore, enjoy the trails, and grow more comfortable each day. Pei kept me consistently updated, which gave me huge peace of mind. The updates were thorough, reassuring, and showed not just experience, but genuine care and affection for Louisa. What really stood out was the extra effort and attention to detail. Louisa is an extremely fussy eater, and Pei took the time to make thoughtful adjustments, adding toppings, adapting her meals, and ensuring she stayed well fed and happy. That kind of effort meant so much. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel incredibly relieved and grateful to have found such a wonderful “home away from home” for my sensitive girl.”
About: Hi! I’m Katerina, a registered nurse with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up with dogs and have shared my home with cats for the past 15 years. Caring for animals has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. Sadly, I recently lost both of my beloved cats, and while my home feels a little quieter, I still have so much love and care to give. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply have a calm, reassuring presence nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I gave my own. As a registered nurse, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable following routines and administering medications if needed. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! Schedule I’m currently off work until mid-October, which means I have plenty of flexibility and availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks throughout the week. Whether you need last-minute care or are planning ahead, I’m happy to work with your schedule. After I return to work, I’ll continue offering pet care around my nursing schedule and will keep my Rover calendar up to date so you always know my availability. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they are part of the family. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand that pets are most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I take the time to let them warm up to me and respect their individual personalities. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and keep your home tidy and secure while you’re away. As a registered nurse, I’m detail-oriented, responsible, and comfortable following care plans and noticing small changes in behaviour or health. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe and loved.
“Would highly recommend Mark for my dogs stay! Updates provided daily and super friendly. Watson had a great time and came back happy. It looks like he had a blast during his time over at Mark's. Next time I need a dog sitter I'm heading to Mark's place!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ancaster
We had a wonderful experience! Barbara was so friendly, warm, and welcoming. She even met with us in advance of our booking, which gave us so much peace of mind considering this was our first time using Rover. During the 5 days our dog Franklin was with her, Barb communicated often and sent updates, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, our dog seemed to have a great time! Would definitely recommend and book again.
Highly recommend Angela - our two dogs came home VERY happy after a week stay. You can tell Angela and her family are dog lovers! They have a lovely property with lots of room for the pups to run around, and Angela was very responsive sending photos and updates. We couldn't be happier! Thank you again!!

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 pet, 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 .
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 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.
