“Simba had an amazing stay! We could tell he was happy, well cared for, and enjoyed his time. The daily updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, and we really appreciated the care and attention. We’ll definitely be boarding our fur baby here again. Thank you for taking such great care of Simba!”
“I wanted to thank Dommond and Hilda for taking excellent care of our 2 year old Havenese dog Rocky! We left Rocky in their care for approximately 8 days for day care then 11 nights while we were away on vacation. It was our first time leaving Rocky and it was very difficult for us. Dommond and Hilda were simply fantastic with Rocky. We received daily photos and updates. We picked her up last night and she was a happy dog! Thank you Dommond and Hilda once again for taking great care of Rocky! We will see you again.”

About: 🐾 Service available in English & Cantonese (廣東話) Hi! I’m Katrina. I live with my family and our sweet 7 year old Bichon Frise, Tofu. My family and I have spent the past seven years raising Tofu and caring for dogs belonging to our friends and family, and I’d love to welcome your dog into our home too. My mom is home full-time, so your dog will have lots of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. We live in a quiet neighbourhood with a large, fully fenced backyard, and we only host one family’s dog(s) at a time to provide a calm, personalized experience. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your dog happiest and most comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, and my mom is home full-time, so there’s almost always someone home to keep your dog company. We are also home on weekends. We’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and, most importantly, stick to the routine they’re used to. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We will ensure your dog’s regular routine is followed to make them comfortable away from home. Our home is clean, dog-friendly, and designed with your pup in mind. We have plenty of toys, cozy places to rest, and baby gates available if a dog needs their own space. We live in a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. Our home is shared with our 7-year-old Bichon Frise, Tofu, and because we don’t have young children and only host one family’s dog(s) at a time, we provide a calm, low-stress environment. You’ll also receive regular photo updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
“Otis is still sleeping it off. He had such fun with the kiddos. Mary is lovely. Trying to book this weekend again. They will be my go to from now on. Thank you”
“Stuart and his wife were wonderful with Dexter. Stuart is clearly very knowledgeable about dog behavior and training, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Dexter in their care. It was evident that Dexter felt right at home. Thank you so much, Stuart!”
“Luisa was amazing, she kept us posted with pictures and updates on how our doodle Levi was doing. Levi was cared for with love and compassion and he loved being with Benji, it kept him occupied during our 2 week vacation. I definitely recommend Luisa to anyone that is looking for care”
“My Benji loves to stay there. He got to play with other dogs and plenty of walks. Excellent experience and I recommend Nooshin for anyone looking for boarding or daycare.”
“Our 8-year old female cockapoo had a wonderful time with Zsuzsanna. Our little girl is normally a bit anxious with strangers, but she was right at home with Zsuzsanna and her family. The home cooked chicken and rice meals were a definite bonus.”
“Wonderful sitters! I highly recommend. They managed my dog's shy temperament with such grace. They are extremely communicative during booking and my dog's stay. Teddy was so happy in every photo and took the longest nap on the ride home which tells me he had a great time ! I would definitely rebook! ❤️”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Aurora
Tsz is very detailed and cared about making my doggy comfortable during his stay. She made him feel at home and was accommodating and understanding during his settling in phase. It can be hard for doggies to be separated from us. She provided the most detailed updates from any host I've experienced on Rover. I hope they would like to have him back again as he was well loved and comfortable during his stay.
I am very happy we found Patricia, she is great and takes good care of dogs. She always made sure to send updates with pictures and videos throughout the day, was very accommodating and reliable, quick with communication. Charlie enjoyed his stay with Patricia and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
Melanie was absolutely wonderful with our dog! From start to finish, she was communicative, reliable, and attentive to every detail. We received regular updates and great photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It's clear how affectionate she is and how much she truly cares. We will definitely be booking Melanie again and cannot recommend her enough!
Shirin was absolutely amazing! ❤️ Hero stayed with her for one night and she was so friendly, welcoming, and caring. She kept me updated the whole time, constantly sending me photos and videos, which made me feel so comfortable knowing Hero was happy and well taken care of. 🥰 You can really tell she genuinely loves animals. I would definitely trust her with Hero again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾
We love to leave Piper with Carole & Kevin! I absolutely know that she’s in good hands and being loved by them as much as she is by us. I trust them 100% and wouldn’t think about leaving her overnight with anyone else! And I know that Piper’s comfortable there as well because whenever she hears she’s going for a visit she gets super excited… There’s no better recommendation than that!!
As first-time Rover users, we were quite stressed about leaving our dog with someone new. Liu made the entire experience so much easier. She is incredibly responsive, caring, and attentive. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was also very flexible and accommodating. Most importantly, she took wonderful care of our dog, and we could tell our dog was happy and well looked after. We highly recommend Liu and would not hesitate to book with her again!
My dogs stayed with Lilyana and her family for 10 days while I was travelling in Europe, and I was quite nervous about leaving them for that long. Very quickly, though, it became obvious that they were being incredibly well cared for, loved, and given lots of attention every single day. Lilyana sent multiple updates with photos and videos daily, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the updates that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and enjoying themselves. They were taken on walks, given plenty of playtime, and all of their care instructions were followed carefully. One of the things my dogs loved most was the beautiful backyard, where they had lots of space to explore and play. By the end of the stay, it was obvious they felt completely at home. Overall, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in Lilyana’s care, and I would absolutely have them stay with her and her family again in the future. Highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Aurora 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 Aurora
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
