“I can’t recommend Gail enough! We left our Rocky with her for a few days while we were busy with our wedding and he enjoyed his stay so much! He was very comfortable and the photos that we were sent everyday helped calm our nerves. You can tell that Gail really has a love and appreciation for dogs. We can’t thank her enough ❤️❤️”
“Am so happy with the experience. If only Gretzky could talk then he would probably say the same. Valerie and family are very sweet and I will surely pass the good words about Valerie and Rover to family and friends. Thank you so much Valerie!”
“Michelle is a lovely, warm person who is clearly very comfortable with hosting dogs of all kinds. She was amazing with our two dogs and they came home both happy and very tired in the best way. She let them be themselves and stick to their normal routines which really gave us peace of mind while we were away, and ahe was great about keeping us updated with pictures. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“Madison & Jeffrey were such great pet sitters for our dogs Arlo&Simba. They took them for multiple walks, sent pictures each day and you can tell they have had a lot of experience with dogs and always knew exactly what they needed to feel comfortable. We feel 100% confident in their abilities and would recommend them to anyone needing a sitter!”
“Amazing and very kind and caring lady! She has looked after our dear dog several times! We are so happy to have found her! Very professional, keep us updated every single day with texts, photos and videos of our dog, and took our dog for several daily walks. She also cared for our dog by giving her meds and food exactly the way we needed it her to have them. Overall I will totally recommend Carmen! And we hope to continue having her look after dog in the future! Thank you so much Carmen!”
About: I have cared for dogs for 20 years, and for the past 10 years have been dog-mom to a special Blue Heeler/Husky. My dog was a very anxious and energetic soul, and I worked closely with trainers over many years to meet his needs and provide him the best home. I have worked with several specialized trainers and learned a lot about dog behaviour and needs. I am a very fit person, and have no trouble with taking dogs for long hikes or runs. I currently work-from-home, and have a lot of flexibility to care for pets. An important note is that I have a 5 year old at home as well, so any pets in my care at my house will need to be friendly with kids. I work from home, and have daytime and evening availability to care for pets. I also do a lot of volunteering in the community. Availability depends on what other responsibilities I have been booked in for in any given week. Advanced requests for care are best. My home has a fenced in backyard, and indoors there are baby gates that can keep pets off the stairs if needed. I have a crate in my home if needed. I am available to take dogs for walks from their homes within Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge.
“I left my one year old puppy, who has never been away from me, with Eva for three days. I was quite worried because she usually gets anxious whenever I leave her with someone else. To my surprise, she settled in with Eva almost immediately, as if she had known her forever. Honestly, it almost hurt my feelings a little because she adjusted so well, but that just shows how amazing Eva is with dogs. I would absolutely recommend Eva to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pup. She also sent plenty of daily updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away.”
“Our first time boarding our Bordoodle with Yani. She provided excellent care and attention to all his needs. He was fussy about eating and Yani suggested food toppers to bring for his upcoming multi-day stay with her. She ensured he and the other dogs in her care got along well. We have peace of mind knowing Quigley will be in good hands while we’re away”
“Nicole looked after my dog Rex for one night, and I couldn’t be happier. I was worried about leaving him in someone else’s care, but she was wonderful—kind, responsible, and attentive. Rex was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend her! Definitely I will book again. Thanks Nicole for wonderful services.”
“Awesome stay, really helped us out! Very much appreciated the daily updates and pictures, it was really comforting to see our dog have fun while we were away.”
“Ranjitha was lovely! My cat had a great time with her and was so comfortable. I didn’t have to worry much. She also kept me regularly updated. I would highly recommend her.”
“Arlene and Kevin provided a safe and loving environment for our elderly dog Scout over the Easter weekend. We were very nervous about leaving him but they sent us pictures and texts to let us know that he had settled and was quite comfortable. We highly recommend them to care for your pet.”
“Our pups were well cared for during their stay. They were happy to see us but not a finally you are here greeting. A good feeling ending a good experience. A wonderful relief to find a safe loving environment to leave our babies in when the need arises. Very grateful for Grace. Hoping she will be available when we need her again.”
“Paige is so reliable and kind hearted. I can’t thank her enough for helping us out and going the extra mile to make things convenient for us when we needed it. Our pup pup feels so comfortable with her and we highly recommend her if you’re on the hunt for a great sitter!!”
“Jessie took care of our pup Hank for a few days while we were away. Hank is only 7 months old, and this was his first time away from home. He truly enjoyed running around her backyard with her pups, Paisley and Elvis. Although unsure at first, he eventually warmed up to the kitties as well! Jessie was professional and communicative, ensuring Hank was comfortable and safe. The daily updates and photos gave us peace of mind. It's clear Jessie loves animals and is very experienced. We highly recommend her! Thank you, Jessie, for opening your home to Hank and being so patient with our little guy.”
“Stefanie and her pack were great with our dog Bodie. She was very professional and sent timely updates with the best photos I have ever seen! You won't be disappointed with her service and your pet will come home happy!”
“I was dubious about leaving my dogs with someone I didn't know, but the couple I decided to leave them with are simply amazing!! My dogs loved them so much and they created a bond with the sitters dog too. I received daily updates and photos and was so happy to know by babies were in safe hands. Thank you so much for raking care of my fur babies. I will definitely be in contact again, and I highly recommend this couple to look after your dogs in a safe friendly and caring home.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Blair
Amazing sitters! Our dogs looked so happy in the pictures and videos they sent but now looked depressed when they returned home. 🤣 We boarded our 2 dogs for 3 nights and they did not disappoint. I say they because they are a couple. We did a meet and greet few days before we went for a trip. They sent us an update every time the dogs will go for a walk, eat, and poop during walks. They send us videos and pictures all the time, even cute pictures at random times. We were at ease because they also have their own dogs so we know they know how to take care of them well. They even gave a free bath brush for the doggos. (I hope all sitters are like this! Giving tokens for clients 🙂) will definitely take them again if we need it! Highly recommend! Thank you!
I was very hesitate to leave Eda somewhere for the first time without me. But after meeting Sravani, I had positive feelings that Eda would be well taken care of by them. They were great for Eda. Very nice calm people with patience. I believe Eda had a good time. If I need a dogsitter again, I would ask Sravani!
Divya and Vaibhav took such loving and thorough care of my dog for 4 days. We were always updated with photos, videos and daily activities. They got creative with solutions when my dog was having feeding challenges and made sure she was fed and exercised. They made sure her normal routine was maintained but also went over and beyond to provide additional enrichment activities. They really treated Bell like one of their own and Bell seemed so happy with them. I would recommend both of them anytime for dog sitting.

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 Blair 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 Blair
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.
