“Lilly’s stay with Dominica was great. She took the time to keep in touch and sent pictures. This was our first time leaving our dog Lilly with someone else. Dominica made both the drop off and pick up seamlessly and she shared tidbits about Lilly’s experience when out walking and interacting with people and other dogs and playing in the backyard. I would most definitely recommend Dominica To be a sitter for your family pets.”
“Luna was well cared for. Taken on many walks and enjoyed tug of war games daily. Nicholas provided daily updates and pictures of Luna’s experiences. I definitely would use Nicholas’ services again and highly recommend him to others seeking peace of mind while you’re away.”
About: Hi! I’m a compassionate and reliable pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs. My background includes looking after a young small dog while providing care for a senior citizen, which involved daily walks, feeding, bathing, and keeping the space clean by managing pee pads. Most recently, I worked as an in-home dog caregiver for two medium-sized dogs ages 1 and 3 . I was responsible for walking them multiple times a day, maintaining their feeding schedule, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and ensuring the home stayed safe and secure while the owners were on vacation. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and loving care—whether that means going on long walks, sticking to a feeding routine, or simply keeping pets company while their humans are away. Your pets will be treated like family with me! I’m available for dog walks 4–7 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m also able to provide extended in-home care when needed. I offer a safe, comfortable home for small to medium dogs, with parks nearby for walks. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and can walk your dog in your neighborhood to keep things familiar.
“Tim and Salma were great! They were able to accommodate a last minute request, asked them a day before and they were thankfully available to watch our dog for us. Sent us a bunch of pictures and videos, as well us updated us throughout his stay. Thank you so much tim and Salma! Would recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Jeanne was absolutely amazing. She took Denver in as her own dog. Treated him so well. He made friends there. I would recommend her to anyone looking for any of her services. I know I will use her whenever, she’s great”
“Mike took really good care of Bodhi. Even letting him sleep in his room with him because Bodhi was a bit unsettled. Really good communication and lots of pictures of what he got up to. Thank you very much Mike”
“Morgan provided a nice clean space and wonderful company for my dog with her dog Axel. She went out for plenty of walks and was great about sending pictures of my dog and what he was doing. Morgan was also very communitive with me and responsive when I had a question. I will definitely rebook with Morgan and would highly recommend anyone else to use her as well”
“Liz is excellent service provider. We used her service first time, no complaints at all. She fed our dog on time shared tons of photos with us of him playing eating and sleeping every day. I highly recommend her.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Anne while she cared for our dog, Wilson, during our vacation. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent and she made us feel completely at ease. During the pre-stay meet and greet, it was clear how comfortable Wilson felt with her—and that carried through the entire stay. Anne sent us daily pictures and videos, which not only reassured us but also showed how happy and well-cared-for Wilson was. She is so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring—it honestly felt like Wilson was on his own vacation! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely trust Anne with Wilson again in the future.”
“Dianne was an excellent choice for boarding my dog Shilo. He was very obviously well taken care of in a loving family environment. She shared pictures and videos of him every day and he had so much fun. I would absolutely recommend her. Thanks Dianne and Fam.”
“Amanda is incredible! She took amazing care of my pets. She was extremely accommodating, especially when my flight home was delayed by 2 hours. Do not hesitate to book with her.”

“Maisy, the 3-year-old Australian Shepherd and Dexter the 13-year-old Corgi mix looked like they slept pretty good and we're definitely well cared for. Four nights! It looks like they had a great time on their walks and the experience with Charlene was wonderful. She has a wonderful family welcoming young and old doggies. Highly recommend! Thank you so much”
“Rohit was a great dog sitter for my Golden retriever pup! My dog seemed like he had a great time as Rohit took him on many walks in his neighbourhood. He sent regular updates throughout the day and informed me of any mishaps that happened. My dog came back home safe and happy!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barrie
This was my first time ever boarding my dog with someone I did not know and had only met once. This my anxiety about it was higher than my dog’s. Sue was fabulous. Calm, confident without arrogance or the self-assuredness that screamed she would do it her way. Sue listened and followed the instructions that I knew were best for Storm. She kept me updated as she started to do activities with Storm (lots of attention he wanted for nothing). I was able to inject small advices to ensure Storm was protected and she adapted as explained. Storm came home to me better for having the experience with Sue. He is welcome back to Sue anytime but most importantly, I would have no hesitation of leaving him with her except maybe he would like it too much.
Lauren was amazing with fox. This was our very first time leaving our baby with a sitter and it was the best choice we ever did by picking lauren. Her and her family were so welcoming to Fox that he took to them right away. Did a check-in on him as a worried parent would, and the pictures that were sent to me were so adorable that I knew he was fine and happy. Would definitely highly recommend Lauren to look after your fur baby. I know myself and my husband we look forward to using Lauren again to babysit Fox.
Shannon was absolutely incredible with Ollie! She was so responsive, kept us updated throughout his stay, and sent lots of photos so we always knew he was happy and well cared for. Ollie came home happy, relaxed, and exhausted in the best possible way! It was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Shannon and will definitely be booking with her again!
Erika did a wonderful job caring for my cat over the last 10 days while I was away. I was pleased to hear he got along well hanging out with her two cats. Manny definitely got spoiled rotten going by his very happy attitude, and super soft fur, he was getting all the pets XD so if you're reading this review I would definitely recommend her as a sitter!
Tristan was great with my dog Charlie, who stayed for a full weekend. Communication was easy and prompt, with some nice updates and photos throughout the weekend. Tristan's dog Fifi is very sweet, and calm, and a great companion to visiting dogs. My dog Charlie can be very nervous at first with new dogs and Fifi quickly made him feel safe and calm quickly. The pre-stay meet and greet was a very helpful touch. Charlie came home from his weekend happy and well take care of, and will definitely visit Tristan again in the future!
April was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took care of our 10-month-old puppy, Sophie, for a full week and made the entire experience stress-free. April helped us feel comfortable the whole time by sending frequent photos and videos and always responding quickly with updates. She’s incredibly calm and attentive, and it was clear she was great at understanding and meeting Sophie’s needs. Sophie had such a great week, and we could tell she was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using April again and highly recommend her!
I had a great experience with yuting. She took wonderful care of Noah, kept me updated regularly, and made sure I was always informed. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Noah was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 💖🐾

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 .
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 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.
