“Our Shiba Yuki boarded with Sunny for 8 days, and we are so happy with the experience. It was our first time being away for so many days and leaving her with a dogsitter. Sunny is really patient. Her quiet home and calm personality is well suited for our anxious dog. Yuki bonded with Sunny immediately, which made us very comfortable and able to enjoy our vacation with no worries. She has a nice enclosed backyard for fun times, and Yuki loves it. We trust Sunny very much.”
“Thank you to Sara and her family for taking care of Baxter!!! He came home happy and for the first time didn’t seem stressed staying at a different home. I appreciate all the photos and video updates which reduced my worries as Baxter has some specific needs. Thank you so much and will definitely recommend.”
“Robin was lovely to deal with. She's very responsive and seems to genuinely care for dogs. Lola seemed comfy with her right away and seemed well taken care of for the two nights she stayed with Robin.”
“Angela was the best pet sitter i could hope for for my senior dog. I felt so lucky that she was available and I knew my dog would be cared for really well. Super thankful for Angela and her kiddos.”
“Exceptional care for our fur baby! We left our dog, Charlie, with Oriana and her husban Jean for 10 days, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Leaving a pet for the first time and for that long can be stressful, but we were completely at ease thanks to the frequent updates and obvious love Charlie received. He had an absolute blast and was treated like family. It was so comforting to see and gave us peace of mind that our Charlie looking so happy and relaxed while we were away. We will definitely be booking again—Charlie already misses his home away from home! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
“Great care as always! Very communicative, send photos and updates throughout our trip, and always very careful and caring for our pup! Highly recommend booking with them!”
“Ranah and Franki took excellent care of our pup Taco! They gave us consistent updates and went above and beyond to try and meet his needs. We would definitely trust them to watch Taco again in the future!”
“Our fur boy runs with joy to these two when we drop him off. So lovely to know he enjoys himself when we are away. They are his second family, without a doubt.”
“Justine took such great care of my dog Bo! She was super friendly, communicative, and easy to coordinate with! She sent lots of photos and kept me in the loop while I was away for the weekend, it gave me such peace of mind. I would 100% recommend her and book with her again ☺️”
“Lisa was amazing. She was caring, communicative, and took wonderful care of Tony while we were away. Her Labrador, Elsa, is a lovely dog too. Tony got lots of walks, exercise, and cuddles on the couch. It truly felt like he was on vacation as well! We will absolutely contact Lisa when Tony needs care in the future. Thank you, Lisa!”
“Jennifer and David took such wonderful care of Oreo while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. They were so kind and easy to communicate with, and sent us lots of photos and updates throughout our trip. Oreo takes medication every day, and they were very conscientious about keeping up with her routine, which gave us extra peace of mind. It was also so nice to see how much their whole family welcomed Oreo; she got lots of attention and cuddles and clearly made herself right at home! (She especially loved all of Ruby toys.) We came home to a very happy dog. We would definitely have Oreo stay with Jennifer and David again and highly recommend them.”
“We were so happy with Sheryl's care of Lulu. She was obviously very attentive, and Lulu had plenty of walks, socializing and cuddles! We were afraid Lulu would prefer Sheryl to us! We also appreciated updates on their time together and photos. Would definitely rebook :)”
“Virginie and Samuel were so great with our 8-month old pup Tango. They sent us regular updates and kept Tango active and happy. It was the puppy’s first time away from us and Virginie and Samuel gave him lots of love and reassurance. The minute we walked in, Tango already found a toy of theirs to play with. Thank you for taking such good care of our dog!”
“Thank you so much, Andrea and Sergio! They have watched our dog, Mochi, overnight on multiple occasions. By the third time, when Sergio arrived to pick her up, Mochi was pulling the leash to run to him, tail wagging with excitement. They sent us regular updates throughout our trip showing Mochi and explaining how she was handling the changes and adapting to her new environment. They even went so far as to help train her to walk properly while leashed! This gave us great comfort and allowed us to enjoy our vacation since we knew Mochi was safe and loved.”
“Tori went above and beyond with my cat Mango! She was beyond reassuring with any concerns and provided daily updates. She was attentive and I came back to a very relaxed cat who didn’t even want to leave! She also gave me some suggestions which I thought was so beyond her responsibilities and you can tell she really loves cats. Mango was also very fond of her cat and I really enjoyed getting pictures of them together.”
“Aiko was amazing with Felfel on Jan 1–2. She took care of him just like her own dog and made us feel completely at ease. She kept us updated regularly with photos and detailed messages, including the times of walks and activities. It was clear that Felfel was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We truly appreciated her kindness, attention, and communication, and we would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommended!”
“Walter and Angela were the perfect sitters for my dog Wanda. Before my vacation, I was so anxious because it was my first time leaving Wanda with someone new; however, as soon as I met them, I felt so much more at ease because of their warmth and great dog management skills. Wanda liked them right away too, which is not always the case for when she meets new people. Wanda was given lots of love and attention, long walks along the river by their home, and playtime, and when I came back 5 days later to pick her up, she was in no hurry to leave! Wanda was glued to Walter and gave him lots of kisses - he played ball and tug of war with her in the yard too. I also received lovely text messages and photos to let me know how she was doing. They also have a lovely home with a nice fenced in yard so its a perfect place for dogs. I'm so grateful that I met them and would like to use them again for future dog care services.”
“Raymond was great with Felfel! He was quick to respond, asked for instructions, and kept me updated with photos during the stay. It was clear he genuinely cared for Felfel and made him feel comfortable. His home was also incredibly clean and tidy, which gave me extra peace of mind. I’d happily trust him with Felfel again and highly recommend him to other pet parents.”
“We appreciated Michael taking care of Arrow—he was conscientious and detail oriented. Yogi was also a very friendly and relaxed doggy host to our dog. A clean home + good care.”

I left Juan Pablo with this pet sitter for one night, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience! This was only the second time ever that Juan Pablo stayed with a pet sitter, so I was a little nervous, but she made me feel completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos and let me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up the next morning, he looked so happy, and I could tell he had a great time. She also took him for a walk and clearly took great care of him. Five stars! I’m very grateful for the wonderful care she gave Juan Pablo, and I would definitely rebook with her again. ❤️
Jessenia was absolutely wonderful with Gerdoo! He stayed with her for two nights, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She regularly sent me pictures and videos of them playing and going for walks, and kept me updated throughout his stay. Most importantly, Gerdoo looked so happy and had a great time with her. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave him. I would definitely recommend Jessenia and will happily have Gerdoo stay with her again!
Lauren was incredibly accommodating and kindly agreed to look after my 7-year-old Jindo Mix rescue, Bailey, with only two days’ notice due to a family emergency. She is such a caring and thoughtful person and took the time to learn all about Bailey and his needs. Throughout his stay, Lauren kept me updated with regular pictures, videos, and text messages, which gave me great peace of mind during a stressful time. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care and attention she gave Bailey. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their furry family member!
Aiko was everything we could want in a dog sitter and more! She took incredible care of Franklin during his first time away from home, and made sure to send us so many updates and pictures. She always responded right away and from the first meeting we could tell he would be in great hands. We will definitely be trusting Aiko with our baby again whenever we leave town.
Xiaotao, Cynthia, is very nice and caring. Very polite and took good care of Mylo. Mylo has a medical condition and Cynthia was good about giving him his medication. Updated me regularly on his behaviour and sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her to one and all. I will definitely go back to her for Mylo.
Aditya & Alpana are really amazing hosts! I had them sit my dog many times, and I'll always go back! They constantly send updates and photos, and you can totally tell they are true dog lovers. They even made special treats for my dog during her stay! Would totally recommend!
This was Prince’s second stay, and it just confirmed how safe and loved he is with her family. She, her husband, and their little one are all so gentle and welcoming. It truly feels like Prince is part of their home when he’s there. I’m grateful to have a sitter I can trust. Thank you Shiyao and Family 😊
Flora was so sweet and lovely! Would absolutely book her again. My dog can be a bit shy but Flora really made sure she was comfortable and happy. She sent plenty of updates and I could tell Rainbow was really enjoying her time with Flora and her adorable dog Juju. Thank you so much Flora!!
Bella & Emma are officially our go-to boarders for Pickles, our heeler-husky mix! This was his second stay with them while we were traveling internationally, and once again, he was incredibly well cared for. They made our trip completely stress-free, and we loved receiving photos of our boy looking so happy and spoiled. If Pickles loves them, that says everything: we do too.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Burnaby 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 Burnaby
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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 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.
