“Amazing, wonderful care for our 11 week old puppy. She was safe and loved, well taken care of. Lindsey took her on walks, frequent potty breaks and sent several updates with photos. A very good option for doggie care, I’ll use her and her sweet family again.”
“Nicole was super nice and kind! Mila was very well taken care of and came back home happy and relaxed. Nicole sent us pictures and kept us updated every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re very happy with the care Mila received and would definitely recommend Nicole! ❤️”
“My dog Odis was well taken care of. When we came back after 2 weeks he was very happy and healthy. He became part of their family and fit in very well. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him.”
About: I have had a dog or taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Family, neighbours and friends have all relied on me to help take care of their pets for many years. I am a huge animal lover and a health care worker and will always provide the best and safest care for your pup. Recently I have fostered some dogs through a local rescue and helped them find their new home. I have learned alot about behaviours and training with these pups. We love to play in the yard or go for walks, and have lots of snuggles on the couch :) I currently work part time so have lots of time available to spend with your dog! My flexible schedule allows me to board your pet overnight any day of the week, or drop in for visits/walks. I have a fenced back yard and two small dogs to keep your fur baby company! Your dog is welcome to treat our home as their own and I will give them lots of love and be devoted to their happiness and well being while you are away.
“A big shout out to Sylvie-Ann and Stephane for the wonderful care of Huxley. Huxley has a few little issues and they made sure he was comfortable and happy. Their little Yorkshire Lilou (4lbs) and my 95lb Pitty cross enjoyed each other’s company. Lol. Thank you so much for taking care and hope to see you soon.”
“Kelly & Natalie looked after my 3 month old lab puppy Huxley. They had excellent communication providing updates, pictures & videos every day. They took him on many walks & adventures. He made great friends with their pup Skookum. Huxley was one tired pup when he got home. I would highly recommend and would absolutely book again for future puppy care.”
About: I was a dog owner for 12 years, always been around dogs as a child. I have a young family, with two kids who are excited to have pets in our house. I am very active, enjoy walking daily. Our family recently lost our senior dog, we miss the joy of a pet and want to enjoy the joy of having a dog around. I love walking everyday. I work from home. My husband does also work from home and available for bathroom breaks. I have direct access to fenced backyard with covered porch for pets to enjoy alot of outside time. Large fenced backyard, covered porch. My house has 2 floors which can be closed off if need be to keep pets on one floor. My neighborhood is very pet friendly, there are alot of outdoor cats that walk around.
“Clover had the best time while we were away for 10 days. Montana took her on lots of off leash hikes, swimming in the river, and sent us photo and video updates everyday. Clover and Rune got along really well and looked like best buds playing chase. This was the perfect situation for our pup and we couldn't be happier. Will definitely be looking to have Clover stay with Montana again.”
About: Your fur baby will enjoy plenty of exercise as we love hiking, running, and playing! I am dedicated to keeping your doggo happy, active, and so loved while you are away 💕 Caring for pets is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I understand that pets need routine and structure, and I ensure that they are well-cared for while their owners are away. I make sure to feed them on the schedule they are accustomed to, provide them with plenty of water, and give them regular exercise and playtime to keep them physically and mentally healthy. I also prioritize daily check-ins to track any potential signs of illness or discomfort and provide them with any needed attention. As a professional pet sitter, I maintain clear communication with pet owners, keeping them regularly informed about their pet's well-being through updates and photos. I make sure to adjust my schedule as necessary based on the needs of the pets in my care to provide them with the best possible care. When I take on the responsibility of a pet, I make sure they are given ample time, attention, and care, just like they are one of my own. I offer both in-home pet sitting services as well as caring for pets in my own home. Regardless of location, I provide a comfortable and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and secure. In my home, I have a designated space for pets that is cozy and stress-free, with ample space for exploring and playing. When caring for pets in my client's home, I make sure to familiarize myself with the pet's daily routine to ensure minimal disruption to their lives. I follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner regarding feeding, medication, and exercise requirements, and provide additional playtime and attention to ensure that the pets feel loved and happy. I also ensure that their living space is clean, orderly, and hygienic, with fresh water and food available at all times. I keep spaces free from potential safety hazards, including cords, small objects, and any toxic substances. I am always considerate of any behavioral or medical needs that a pet may have, and can offer extra care and support if required. Overall, I prioritize the comfort, happiness, and safety of pets in my care, and work hard to provide them with the same love and attention that they receive from their owners.
“Thank you, Janice for taking so good care of my little doggie! Peace of mind is everything when I have to leave Abbie behind for work or personal travel. You took care of all her basic needs, kept her exercised and very happy. It is also great that you live close to hiking trails so dogs can enjoy the great outdoors. Abbie looks forward to the next time she visits you, your husband and Bear!”
“Sjako and his family took wonderful care of our little Emilio. His kids were so sweet and gentle with our dog and they took Emilio out for a hike as well. We appreciated the great communication and the photos of our dog while we were away. Thanks so much!”
“Shay, Matt and Chacho were so accommodating to Nala at their home. Nala went away with Shay happily excited to play with Chacho. Although she didn’t play so much with Chacho, we learnt that she got super comfy with all of them with a lot of cuddle time. Shay and Matt took Nala and Chacho on 2 great hikes in 2 days. She came home a tired pup which is a sign of all the fun and exercise she got with them. Shay was very responsive and kept us updated with photos throughout. We would trust them to take care of Nala anytime.”
“Excellent with our dogs, and very accommodating with our schedule. They seem to enjoy their stay and are well loved and cared for which is all a dog owner needs. Thanks again.”
About: Hi there! I’m 25 and a proud pet parent to one very cuddly cat. I’ve grown up around animals and have always been the go-to friend for dog and cat sitting, as spending time with pets truly brightens my day! I love hiking and being outdoors with furry companions, but I’m just as happy staying in for playtime and cuddles 🐾 I tailor every walk and visit to each pet’s needs, whether that means a calm neighbourhood stroll, trail adventure, or extra playtime at home. I have experience with senior pets, foster dogs, larger breeds who pull, and dogs who can be a bit reactive or need extra patience. I’m currently attending university, so while I stay as flexible as possible, bookings will need to fit around my daytime classes. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! I’m currently working toward my BSc in Geoscience at VIU and looking for something fun and rewarding to do around my classes and caring for pets is the perfect way to get me outside and away from the classroom! I work remotely as a child care administrator, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the week. While I’m not available all day for house sitting during school days, I’m happy to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and even last-minute bookings when my schedule allows. I always follow each pet’s routine and care instructions to keep them comfortable in their own home. Safety is a top priority and I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and make sure pets are supervised and relaxed. I treat every home with respect and keep owners updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is happy and cared for. 🐾
“Jessica was incredibly caring, patient, and understanding with our shy dog, Sawyer. She knew exactly how to help him feel comfortable and at home during his overnight stay. Sawyer got lots of exercise, had a great time playing, and came home happy and relaxed. Jessica also sent us photos and updates throughout his stay, which we really appreciated and made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family member!”
“Douglas and Janice are amazing! They take such great care of Linus and Lucy. I really appreciate knowing they are well looked after and can be away from them and not worry. Thank you Douglas and Janice.”
“It was our first time with a pet sitter and we have a high energy dog so we’re a bit nervous. Marian was a great sitter and helped us feel at ease, as well as sent updates. They have a dog park nearby so our pup was able to get out for a good play. Would recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cedar 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 Cedar
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
