“Valerie is amazing! There are tail wags from the moment we pull in the driveway! Maggie has been extremely happy with the excellent care she is given. We highly recommend :)”
“We have been searching a long time to find a place to leave our German Shepherd where he would be happy and well cared for and finally we have found it. We just finished our second daycare visit with Stefanie and wow, we are thrilled, more importantly Rosco is happy. The first time I brought Rosco his anxiety was super high and he tried to run back in the car, but today, only the second visit, he jumped out of the car, ran right up to the door and walked in like it’s been his forever home😊. Stefanie is so caring and so knowledgeable, she totally understands Rosco and his Shepherd traits. Looking forward to our next visit. Thanks Stefanie.”
“Before leaving Munchkin, we had a meet & greet with Priya and her lovely dog, Lucky. Priya was calm, kind, and made me feel completely comfortable right away. She took great care of Munchkin, sending me updates and pictures throughout the day, which really put my minds at ease. I highly recommend her services and would leave Munchkin with her again without a doubt!”
“Extremely happy with them taking care of my dog who is my shadow. Lots of pictures and even took her for a walk. My first time using rover and will definitely do so again. Thank you so much for loving my baby.”
About: Growing up in a home full of pets—from dogs and budgies to hamsters and fish—animals have always been a central part of my life. What truly sets me apart is a blend of specialized care experience and professional reliability. For several years, I ran my own local dog walking and pet sitting business in my community, caring for neighbors' dogs multiple days a week. Through this, I became highly adept at managing real-world challenges, including stimulating picky eaters and safely navigating walks with dogs who can be reactive or misbehave around other animals. My background also includes extensive hands-on experience with specialized medical and training needs. I have owned and cared for dogs who were blind, diabetic, and on strict dietary restrictions. Additionally, I raised a future dog guide, successfully guiding her through foundational socialization and obedience training. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy learning the ropes, a senior dog requiring a patient routine, or a unique companion who needs a vigilant handler and a bit of extra patience, I bring the professional dedication and intuitive care they deserve. As a university student home full-time for the summer, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. Being at home, pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet—whether that means heading outside for long walks, playing indoors, or simply sitting nearby to keep them company so they never feel lonely! Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. Because I do not have a fenced yard, I am very vigilant about leash safety, whether we are walking around the neighborhood or visiting a nearby open-space park. My background running a local pet care business and handling dogs who could be unpredictable around other animals means I am always scanning the environment and anticipating potential triggers. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space entirely, closely follow your established safety routines, and ensure your home is secure before I leave. You can rest easy knowing your pet is with an experienced, attentive handler who understands exactly how to keep them safe, secure, and happy on every single outing.
About: I have 5+ years of hands on pet care experience and treat every dog like they were my own. I prioritize structure, consistency, and calm care, and I pay close attention to each dog’s needs, especially when they’re settling in. I love keeping dogs’ minds sharp with fun trick training and scent games, in addition to running around and playing outside. My beagle, Mylo, is very warm and friendly. If your dog is comfortable, Mylo will happily play and interact with them, and if they prefer to lounge, we’ll relax together. Your dog will have plenty of downtime, and all interactions are closely monitored so they feel safe and comfortable. They will never be left alone, and I’ll proactively communicate with you throughout their stay. I work from home, so I can give dogs plenty of attention. I take two long walks each day in the morning and evening, and have time during the day for short walks, play, and potty breaks. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, structured walks, rest, and lots of in house play. While my yard is unfenced, I use a long leash with a stake so dogs can safely enjoy some backyard play if they like. My schedule is flexible, so I can adapt to each pet’s needs. I follow the same routine and instructions the owner provides, ensuring their pet’s comfort, exercise, meals, and supervision are consistent with their usual routine.
“I would highly recommend this place for doggy day care! We left our dog for the entire day and he had fantastic time, he had few walks and he was treated very nicely. The experience is 5 out of 5!”
About: I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes for the past 10 years including my own, and those of family and friends! I would love to host your furry loved ones in my home. I am currently on Maternity leave and am home 7 days a week. I can provide 24/7 care with overnight breaks and daily walks. I’m happy to work with your dogs routine. I have a fenced yard with lots of space to play. Pets are never caged and always welcome to roam free in my home! I am comfortable administering medications and working with senior and special needs animals.
About: My husband and I have both grown up with dogs and cats, so caring for animals comes naturally. We work remotely, so your pet will get lots of attention, walks, and cuddle time throughout the day. We share our home with Phoebe, our friendly 5-year-old Goldendoodle, and Sherman, our sweet 8-year-old cat—both great with other pets and happy to provide company and entertainment. We understand how hard it is to be away from your pets, so we share regular updates to help you feel connected. Your pet is part of our family. My husband and I both work remotely, giving us plenty of time to walk, play, cuddle, and care for your pets just like our own In our home, pets enjoy a calm environment with walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions. We follow their routine and have a crate available if needed. We will provide attentive care, stick to your pet’s schedule, and share regular updates for peace of mind.
“Breanne was fabulous with our dog. She took the time to listen to instructions, was patient with my apprehension around leaving our pup with someone new, and sent frequent updates with photos. Although I was nervous about leaving my pup, I quickly felt at ease after seeing how Breanne managed his anxious behaviours. All in all I felt great about my puppy’s day with Breanne.”
About: Always dog sitting my family member’s pets. I’m a teacher on summer break with too much free time. I have full availability and can give all my attention to your pet. I am on summer break so I have all day, every day, 24/7 availability to spend with your dog. I can do quick walks or over night stays. I have no other pets or children so I can devote all my attention to your pet. I will treat them like they are my own - providing enrichment, exercise and lots of cuddles.
About: I’m a parent and cat parent who has been without a dog in our home since November. I live in a multigenerational household and am privileged to work from home during the day. I have a partially fenced in yard, space for a furry friend to come hang out, and love going on walks. We have two kiddos (6 and 8) who are mostly interested in cuddling with our two cats. I work remote-hybrid and have the ability to determine my own schedule, but it is primarily remote. Having a pet to care for gives me such joy, as it breaks up the day and adds such happiness to our home. I have a partially fenced yard and as such, do not leave dogs unattended, even on a long lead. I am a big believer in regular walks and walking safely- we do not walk dogs off leash.
“Maggie Mae had another fantastic time with Pei! Pei insures that Maggie gets a lot of exercise and enrichment and is great about sending photos and videos of what Maggie Mae is up to. Pei's house is definitely becoming one of her favourite places.”
“Wonderful first experience with Gerardo and Maryangie looking after our Millie. They were so kind and accommodating. They shared updates and pictures throughout the day. They have a great space for playtime and it looked like our girl had a great time. Will definitely be booking again! Thank you Gerardo and Maryangie.”

“Bill & Tracy took care of my 10 month old Cockapoo Charlie. They gave updates on what he was doing. He was wiped when I picked him up. I will be using your services again!”
“Sravani took great care of our puppy Diesel. She ensured that our sensitive boy was very comfortable in her home and perfectly tired when we came to pick him up. It is the next day now and he is still recovering from all the fun he had.”

Tater tot says that serenity was lovely. She said to say she loved chilling at serenity’s home and that she loved the two furry companions that she got to hang with. What a great day. Stephanie loved how communicative Serenity was and how open to planning. Thank you serenity. If by some strange chance Tater tot ends up back in Cambridge she wants to come and see you again. Thank you
Hollie was amazing with Jasper! We loved the report card she wrote — it was so thoughtful and fun to read. She even sent him home with a little toy pig, which he absolutely loves. Jasper had a great time, and we’d be happy to have him daycare with Hollie again. Highly recommend!
Max had a fabulous time with Stefanie and her pack. We are thrilled to have found a new home away from home for our fur baby. Her communication was outstanding, she sent pictures of him at play, before we made it home. It is very easy to see why she is rated a 5 star sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur baby.

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Cambridge commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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 .
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ON ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
