“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!”
“Tawyna was easy to connect with and the full process went smoothly. My dog is often anxious in new spaces but Tawyna and her family were great with him and he seemed to fit right in. Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable, caring dog care!”
“I can't speak highly enough about our experience with Lisa. She is kind, gentle and compassionate. Our dog was happy and well cared for with Lisa. Lisa also shared some dog training tips with me, which I greatly appreciate! Thank you, thank you!”
“Jackie and Tom are so warm and welcoming and make you and your dog feel like family! They send updates and pictures to reassure you and have two sweet little dogs for playmates as well as a very large yard to have lots of outside time. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them watch our dog again and would highly recommend them to others!”
“Joanne was amazing with our girl, Buffy. She accommodated short notice to care for our dog over the weekend and provided great updates that kept our minds at ease. Will definitely consider Joanne for all of our needs moving forward.”
“Another fabulous stay with Isabel! Bailey was so well looked after and just like one of the family. We appreciated daily photos and updates on how he was doing. Bailey can't wait for his next visit!”
“After a meet and greet walk I felt comfortable that Jeffrey & Janine would take good care of Ozzy while we went away on a small trip. They asked a lot of detailed questions regarding his care prior to us leaving him. During our trip we got amazing detailed updates on Ozzy and wonderful pictures as well. They played his favorite game of fetch with him and took him on daily walks. They sent a video of him playing with their dog too. Ozzy looked like he was loved and well taken care of. We would not hesitate to use their services again for future bookings and you shouldn't either! You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Jeffrey & Janine for looking after our fur ball!”
“Tet was absolutely amazing with our high-energy Poodle, Okja, during our 5-night trip to Mexico! She truly went above and beyond, keeping Okja entertained with her favorite toys and making sure she got plenty of long walks and fun trips to the park. We loved receiving daily updates with photos and videos, which completely put our minds at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. To make things even better, our return flight landed very late at night, and Tet was kind and accommodating enough to drop Okja off at our place right on time. We were so grateful for her flexibility! You could really tell Okja had the best time with her by the way they said goodbye. We are so thankful for Tet’s care, dedication, and thoughtfulness. Whenever we go on vacation next, she will absolutely be our number one choice!”
“Pierre and Sheila were welcoming, friendly and made sure they got the information they needed to make our precious cat comfortable. They kept me informed of his activities and sent photos and videos that helped put my mind at ease. I can tell he was well taken care of and comfortable. Definitely recommend Pierre and Sheila… Thank you for taking care of Lotus 🌷”
“Yulina was great with my little Daisy . She was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive. She sent me regular updates with photos and videos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Daisy absolutely loved her and was so happy and relaxed when I got back. You can tell she truly loves and understands dogs — I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“Sonya did an amazing job taking care of Winnie. She's a dog whisperer and she really made Winnie feel relaxed and loved. Winnie loved her time there and quickly became apart of Sonya's pack. I highly recommend Sonya. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“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 😃”
“Our dog normally gets really upset when we leave him. But he didn't have any signs of distress when we left him or when we picked him. Mariana was super kind and all the dogs seemed happy and calm while we were there.”
About: Have done a lot of fostering for an animal rescue so comfortable with a large variety of breeds. We enjoy getting out so your dogs won’t be bored. I work in a school so I am off on weekends, all major holidays and all summer. But love daily walks and my schedule is very accommodating. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs. We do have cats in the home but they don’t care about other pets. Non smoking home.
“Great love and care for our dogs Rosco and Skye. I felt 100% confident with leaving my dogs with her. Kourtney was more than willing to accommodate all our dogs needs during our time away. She was quick to respond to messages and it was so nice to get updates. I’ll be using Kourtney again - she was awesome.”

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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
