“Nicole and Eddie provide excellent care for our dog Daisy. We are always confident that Daisy will have a great time with them and their dog Keyser. She comes home one happy and tired pup from all the playtime, activities & walks. Eddie & Nicole are also very flexible if we have to modify the booking due to unforeseen circumstances.”
“Kimberley watched my little Frances for the weekend and took such great care of her! She was considerate, provided lots of updates and I felt very much at ease that Fran was in good hands. I would recommend Kimberley as a sitter!!”
“She’s not even been home 10 minutes and she’s sleeping, tired from her busy weekend with Jason, Jocelyn and family. As always a great stay with them. They treat Guinness like she’s one of their own.”
“We had our two pups stay with them while we had our wedding during the weekend. They were well taken care of and the daily pictures and videos was great to get updated. I highly recomend and will be using again!”
“Shannon took great care of our dog. She kept us informed throughout the weekend and sent lots of great pictures. Riley came home happy and tired out. We would love to use Shannon's services again.”
About: I’ve had tons of different animals growing up. Recently had to euthanize my 15 year old family boarder collie. Also an English bull dog who passed away at two due to breathing issues. I miss having a dog around, however am not ready to adopt my own just yet. Would love to have them over here and there. I Absolutely adore dogs! I currently work from home so I am always here to take care and love your animal! Will walk, feed, cuddle them and if permitted, take them where me and my family go, weather it’s a walk to the park or beach! We will love and care for your pet as our own. We have a backyard for them to pee/poo as well as a pool if they can swim. Will go on walks! I have two children who adore animals who are very gentle so we will all be spending lots of time together. Dog must be kid friendly though.
“Exceptional! Lynda provided such great care and attention to our 4 yr old Romeo. We were away for an extended vacation, the longest we had been separated from Romeo. Lynda, however, was so thoughtful and caring to send daily updates, photos and videos that we felt completely at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Lynda is very responsive and it’s obvious she genuinely cares for our fur baby. Lynda’s own three pups are simply adorable and welcomed Romeo into the pack and as such Romeo has started to improve his social skills and learning all about dog play. I cannot say enough good things about Lynda and her pups. She is a deeply caring person whose objective is to ensure our pup is given the best possible experience. Thank you Lynda, Hunter, Luna and Millie ♥️”
“Our second time using Vivian and her parents and I would book them again for my dog, Bella. They sent lots of photos and videos and took Bella for lots of walks. Communication was excellent.”
About: We're in the process of opening a kennel on our 27 acre homestead, until then, we're here on Rover! Let us give your pets an enriching experience while you're away, and you peace of mind that they are in not one but two sets of good hands. Our dog Styx loves all pets, big and small, but we also have experience and infrastructure for some personal space if your pet takes a little longer to warm up or has special needs. We are currently building a kennel on our wooded retreat, and in the meantime, our home is open! We are home full-time and spend our days outside tending to the property, bringing your pets along, with lots of water and indoor breaks. We have a fenced yard and the house is able to be segmented off depending on the needs (puppy pen, cat area with dogs, cat area dog free, day crated, whatever your comfort is.
“Gus just had his second stay with Lei and the bond they have is beautiful. It is obvious that they understand each other and have a connection. Gus is very happy and feels safe when in her care. We are so lucky to have found someone who loves our Gus as much as we do.”
“I honestly don’t even know where to start with how incredible this experience was. I found this dog sitter last minute on Rover, and from the very first message, they went above and beyond in every possible way. I have two very high-energy dogs, and leaving them is never something I take lightly—but she, her husband, and their kids made me feel completely at ease. Not only were they unbelievably accommodating and flexible, but they were also so genuinely kind, warm, and generous. They treated my dogs like part of their family. It wasn’t just “watching” them—they were loved, played with, and cared for in a way that honestly exceeded anything I could have hoped for. Her kids adored my dogs, and it showed in every update and every interaction. What truly stood out was how much they went out of their way to help me. They kept my dogs longer than expected without charging anything extra, just out of kindness. That level of generosity is rare, and it meant so much to me. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your pets—someone who will treat them like their own—I cannot recommend Justin, Kristen and her family enough. I am beyond grateful to have found them. Thank you again for everything—you are truly amazing. ❤️”
“Penny was very happy to see Miaozi and had a great time staying in her home. Miaozi is very caring and kept us updated with texts, photos and videos. Thank you for taking great care of Penny!”
“Manali and her family poured so much love onto Zeus on our most recent visit to Ottawa. He really felt comfortable there. Elsa, their dog, was so gentle and accomadating to Zeus. They were also very accomodating to allow me to pick him up for a walk when i missed him! I would gladly recommend Manali for anyone looking for a homely environment for their dog.”
“Excellent service for us and my tiny pup. Joanna is very kind and caring for the dog and was very responsive when planning and answering questions. Awesome experience.”
“Such a wonderful experience! Sarah, Daniel, and their two children brought my two small dogs into their home for a weekend away and treated them as if they were their own. The photo updates were fun to get when I checked my phone and the communication was easy and quick. I’ll definitely be booking another stay for my dogs the next time then need care. We’re so glad to have met this crew.”
“Cristina is an excepcional doggy sitter! She is truly the best❤️ she is very loving and attentive. My fur baby was in great hands. It’s hard to trust someone you just met with your family member but during the meet and greet we just knew she was the one and we were right! Thank you for taking wonderful care of cooper! We recommend her to everyone!”
“We were concerned about leaving our dog with people as our last experience with a kennels didn’t go well. We met with Janice and Renee prior to booking and were reassured. They are an amazing family and our dog found his home away from home. Janice and Renee sent pics and notes every day and this was wonderful. We can’t think of anyone else we would leave our dog with. They only let us put 5 stars but we would give them 10!!! Highly recommend this great family.”
“What an amazing first experience with Rover, and especially with Jennifer and her family. Jasper has separation anxiety, and is just a young puppy, yet Jennifer went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable, welcomed and at home. We were only gone for one night, but received several updates and the sweetest of photos. Jennifer, thank you so much for taking wonderful care of our “baby”, and easing our minds! We look forward to our next opportunity to work with you! Jasper and family!”
“As a repeat client, I can’t recommend Hui enough! She took Bruiser on beautiful walks, sent many sweet videos and updates, and overall provides a safe and loving environment.”
“Tanya and her daughter were amazing with our dog Maggie. Tanya sent daily reports about how Maggie's day went along with many photos. Maggie had a great time with Tanya, her daughter and their three dogs, was well cared for, and was treated like part of the family. I have already booked another stay!”

Absolutely exceptional care! Our first time experience through Rover has been remarkable. Upon reviewing available boarders we saw Nicole and Eddie's reviews and wanted to immediately book a meet and greet. There was no question they were the right fit for our two PWD"s. They gave time for the girls to be silly and they greeted them on their level and with a natural affection for them. We also were assured by both of their kindnesses that our furry family would be given attention, affection and as much love as their furry boy. We are sad we live so far away or they would become our regular sitters! Oh, and the pictures they send while the pups are in your care are just plain heartwarming. Thank you Nicole and Eddie M. and to your furry boy too!
I think Bella had a great time with Shelley and family. She was excited to run into their house right away when i arrived to drop her off. She must've remembered the meet and greet and wanted to see her two cat friends and the rest of the family. We had some timing issues on both sides for my pick up time and Shelley was fine keeping Bella a few extra hours which was appreciated and worked out to both our benefits.
Ollie, our 4-year-old Golden, just came home from the best boarding experience he’s ever had — and honestly, we couldn’t be happier. Laura and her husband are genuinely caring, warm people who treated Ollie like one of their own. From the moment we dropped him off, their love for dogs was obvious, and Laura’s positive, cheerful energy put both Ollie and us completely at ease. Ollie had an absolute blast. He got to swim (his favourite thing in the world), play with another Golden and an adorable Golden puppy, and just be his happy, social self. He fit right in from day one. The neighbourhood is lovely, and the whole environment felt safe, welcoming, and full of life. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we always knew how he was doing, which means everything when you’re away from your fur baby. Ollie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll absolutely be booking with Laura again. Highly recommend! 🐾
Frida had a great week and loved her new friends. Great first time experience with Rover, and it was all because of the great sitters. We had a nice connect the week prior and knew right away it would be a great fit. Constant updates of all the fun they had while we were away helped reassure she was in great hands. I would highly recommend Megan and know we will definitely be bringing Frida back for a visit!
It’s quite difficult for me and I believe many others, to leave a much loved dog in the care of anyone I do not know very well. Michaela’s calm approach seemed to immediately let my puppy relax and happily go with her. Seeing my Cali relax was definitely reassuring. Michaela also sent me a photo of Cali probably 30 minutes after I left, further convincing me that I had made a good decision in my choice of sitter! All around a very positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to choose Michaela again, to take care of Cali.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carleton Place 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 Carleton Place
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:
- 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 84% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
