“Our pup had an amazing time and Karlee was wonderful. She sent us plenty of photos and updates. We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitter. Will definitely be having Karlee sit for us next time.”
“Tanya took amazing care of Duke! He was relaxed, happy, and full of energy when we picked him up — not stressed at all. It was clear he really enjoyed his stay with her. We’ll definitely trust Tanya to watch Duke again!”
“Joanne was absolutely fantastic. This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone and she did a wonderful job making us feel comfortable. She sent us photos and videos every day and kept us up to date with how our puppy was doing! We would definitely use her services again!”
“Paige was amazing with my dog and I felt confident that she was being very well cared for while I was gone. She goes above and beyond with her daily report cards which I didn’t even know I wanted! My dog gets anxious when away from home but Paige made her feel as comfortable as possible - I’m not even sure she wanted to go home!”
“Our experience with Jeffrey and Janine was absolutely wonderful. I was a bit anxious leaving him but they took such amazing care of our dog and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. They gave us frequent updates which were one of our favourite parts - thoughtful, quirky, and full of adorable little Chikoo moments that always made us smile and we looked forward to it. They were so sweet with him, giving him lots of love, attention, and pets. It was clear they truly cared about making him feel comfortable and at home. He also got to spend some time with their dogs, which was a lovely bonus as my dog is usually a bit reserved so loved to see him interacting. Knowing he was well cared for and comfortable, gave us so much peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Nova stayed with Tawnya and Jeremy for an extended weekend while I was away. She took great care of Nova, asking me at times about her behavior if something seemed off and was very communicative during our pickup and drop off times. Nova seemed to have enjoyed her weekend with their family and I'd book again with them in the future.”
“Pierre & Sheila are ideal pet-sitters! Super friendly & accommodating. We had never left our cat with anyone before, and she was definitely frightful at first, but it wasn't long before they melted her cold heart. :) They were very responsive, and provided updates every day, so we never wondered how it was going. Very glad we chose them! I think our cat is too. 10 out of 10!”
“Nichole is amazing!! She is amazing at sending pictures and updates that eased our minds tremendously. Quick to respond to messages and flexible. We have an Akita that is very particular on meeting new friends and has food intolerances and she did a great job and he warmed up to her. Nichole had some toys which Hank loved, and even gave one to him to take home. 100% recommend Nichole, and trust her completely with Hank and Moose.”
“Yulina is very kind and communicative. She shared lots of photos and important information about our pet while in her care. We feel our dog was well cared for and would recommend Yulina.”
“Sonya was an outstanding dog sitter! Our dog came back to us so happy and was excited to go back for a second time, as we were so satisfied with Sonya's service we requested her twice in the same weekend. Sonya was very accommodating to changes in our schedule and we would highly recommend her. She also has other dogs at her place that allowed our dog to get some energy out and socialize. Thank you for everything, Sonya! We look forward to our next visit and seeing you again soon!”
“Khiet and Peter were awesome they took very good care of our Roxy and sent a lot of pictures for all of us to look at, our kids enjoyed them the most. We would definitely book with them again 😃”
“Lisa was great! She made our dog feel so relaxed and cared for. She took steps to make him feel at home and comfortable. Lisa sent picture regularly of Berkley playing and smiling. I’m pretty sure he wishes he lived there all the time because he spend the first 2 days back at home moping. That’s a sign of great care!!”
“Suzanne was great! She communicated well with us and sent lots of pictures. She has a great backyard that our dogs enjoyed. They came home happy and healthy. Would book with her again!”
“Jacqueline and her husband were wonderful with Floki. My dog is very shy and needs time to adjust to new people, and they were so patient until he felt more relaxed. I'm glad I found a place where I can leave him knowing he's safe and well cared for. Thank you!”
“I am so beyond happy every time I leave the dogs with Dominica. I get a completely stress free vacation and the dogs come back home tired and happy! Thank you and see you next time!”
“I can't brag enough about Mariana; we have the most spoiled dogs in the world who don't like change. They loved her! I was so happy to be able to go away and not worry.”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carstairs 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 Carstairs
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
