“Mike was amazing with Dora and Finn. He had excellent communication, always keeping me updated with photos and anecdotes from their stay. I would absolutely use Mike again in the future and I know my dogs had an amazing time with him and his family”
“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!”
“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.”
“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”
About: I was a dog owner for over thirteen years and had frequent interactions with different dogs over years. My doggy just recently passed away from cancer and I would love to have company of other dogs to help me through this difficult time. I work from home and I can commit 24/7 to keep an eye and care for your pup. I am active and go for frequent walks, no matter the weather, and it would be great to have a furry companion to join me. I work from home, so I'm available to care for your pup all the time. I can offer frequent walks and active time in the back yard. I have a large fenced yard and many toys to play with. Your dog will have a total freedom to use any furniture in the house.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I have had dogs large (German Shepherd), Medium (Cocker Spaniel) and small (Shih Tzu). I just lost my 17 year old Shih Tzu and now have an elderly Shepherd who is my gentle sweet companion. I have a passion for small and medium sized snuggly dogs. And they can be welcomed on my couch with me! They will get loving attention in my home and in my beautiful spacious fenced back yard. I am close to walking trails and the lake. * LOKI PASSED AWAY JUNE 18,2026 PEACEFULLY AT HOME SO NOW WE ARE AN EMPTY HOUSE. LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARING OUR HOME WITH A FURRY FRIEND IN NEED OF TEMPORARY BOARDING. I am retired and have lots of time to give love and care to furry companions. I have a large fenced property and would give love and attention to any dog in my care. Our backyard and house are 100% dog friendly and we are close to walking trails and the lake. Our large property is fenced however I would always attend outside with the dog(s) in my care. We presently have one elderly german shepherd who has until recently enjoyed life with our adorable shih tzu who passed away at the age of 17. Loki is very friendly and is pretty lazy at his age of 12. He has always been around other dogs. (LOKI PASSED AWAY AT HOME ON JUNE 18,2026)

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!
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.
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. 💖🐾
She was so warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. My boys can be a little apprehensive at first, but her calm, positive energy helped them relax right away. They ran into the house and immediately had the zoomies, which is not like them unless they feel completely comfortable. I could tell they felt safe and happy in her care. When I picked them up, they were tuckered out, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I really appreciate how wonderful she was with them and would absolutely recommend her.

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.
