“Tara and Jason are amazing dog sitters. I don't have to worry about how Wally is being cared for. They send updates, videos and Wally comes home relaxed, healthy and happy. Highly recommend them!”

“I can’t thank Margaret enough for taking such great care of Lulu during his four-night stay. From the start, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Her regular updates with photos kept me at ease, knowing Lulu was in the best hands. If you need someone who will treat your dog with love and care, I highly recommend Margaret. Thank you, Margaret, for everything!”

“I can not recommend Shawna and her family enough! They are great communicators, very attentive and give so much love to my little pup! Zettie is always excited to see them, and I am at ease knowing she’s in such great hands 🥹”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with Justin and the amazing care he gave our Tucker! 🐾❤️ Tucker stayed with him for 5 days and 4 nights while we were away in Quebec, and Justin went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Tucker had so much fun playing fetch, going on walks, and visiting the dog park. And of course, he had the best time with Justin’s Golden Retriever, Zoey! They became such good friends. 🥹 It honestly felt like Tucker was staying with his second family. Justin was so caring, attentive, and loving toward him, and we could tell Tucker had an amazing time. Thank you so much, Justin, for taking such wonderful care of our boy! We truly appreciate you and Zoey. Tucker definitely has a second family now, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with you again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”

“Ash and Abhi were really amazing with cooper they were sending constant updates and taking care of him like their own baby. They considered my special request to pick him up and drop him home. They were very keen on listening to his schedule what kind of a dog he is. And what he likes. They were also so quick in replying to my messages. I was very worried as he is with someone else for the first time but cooper was way too comfortable with these people. I would say i feel comfortable now. Thankyou so much for taking care of my baby and i totally recommend them for anyone.”

“Julie was absolutely wonderful with my beagle Bella! She was so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our senior girl was happy and comfortable. She gave her extra bathroom breaks, lots of treats, and sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would happily have Julie watch Bella again! 🐾❤️”

About: We are a retired couple with a large property that are able to host small to medium breeds in our home. We have a friendly full time resident, but can accommodate your animal for stays of various lengths. We frequently walk in our quiet subdivision, as well as using local trails and parks. One of us is full retired and the other is retired with a casual part-time job meaning we have lots of time to devote attention to our and your dog! We have a very clean and comfortable house in a small subdivision, and a large yard that will provide your pets with ample space to play and relax!
“Kelly was terrific with my dog Hippo. He stayed overnight for several days and she took excellent care of him. She was an excellent communicator. She took him on walks and adventures, above and beyond. She even took my pet sitting request on short notice when my original Rover sitter cancelled last minute. Finding her was our lucky day! Highly recommend Kelly (and Patrick).”

“Ruck was an amazing sitter for my dog Bailey while I was travelling for a week. His dog Blue and Bailey were great buddies and he was beyond accomodating with my last minute request for a sitter after my plans fell through with another sitter. He sent updates throughout my trip and when I got back late from the airport to a dead car battery he was able to bring Bailey home to me that night! I would highly recommend him to anyone and I hope to be able to leave Bailey in his capable hands the next time I’m travelling 🙂”

“Emily was amazing from the very start. From the first meet and greet to when we picked our dog up, Emily always made us reassured and comfortable that our dog was in the best of hands. This has been the best experience we have ever had with a dog sitter and will always use Emily to watch our dog in the future. Thank you Emily!! Amazing work”

About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs and cats and have developed a strong understanding of their behavior, body language, and individual needs. My experience ranges from day‑to‑day care to basic training, socialization, and creating safe, positive environments for pets of all temperaments. I am also the owner of a one‑year‑old Doodle named Lexie, whom I personally trained. She is a friendly, well‑socialized dog who loves meeting new companions and will be a wonderful playmate for your pet. Together, we strive to make every animal feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. Please note I am unable to care for pets during the day on weekdays due to my work schedule. I am only able to offer my services in the evenings during weekdays and weekends. I currently work M-F during the day but I can offer my services in the evenings and weekends. I'm very flexible and can work with you as long as my work schedule doesn't interfere. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet in my home or my client’s home. I believe in treating all animals with kindness, patience, and respect, and I make their comfort and well‑being my top priority. My home features a fully fenced, grassy yard where pets can safely explore, play, and enjoy outdoor time. Whether your pet prefers energetic play or quiet sniffing breaks, I ensure they are supervised at all times. I also have experience with positive‑reinforcement training, including helping dogs learn not to pull on walks. I truly enjoy walking dogs and would be happy to provide your pet with safe, structured, and enjoyable outings tailored to their pace and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always come first while they are in my care.
“"I had a wonderful experience leaving my dachshund with her! Shea is so patient and truly knows how to take care of dogs. Her own dog got along great with mine, which made me feel so at ease. She was always friendly and kept me updated with photos and messages while I was away. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy the entire time. Highly recommend!"”

“My dog Rupert had a wonderful time staying with Renita, I couldn’t recommend her more! She asked very thoughtful questions about his needs and preferences which demonstrated great knowledge and comfort working with dogs of all kinds! But most of all I could tell that Rupert was very well loved. This was in the way she spoke about and interacted with him — he was instantly comfortable in her care. I loved that Renita provided photo updates throughout the day so that we could stay in contact and I never felt that far away. Will rebook in a heartbeat 💗🐶”

“Deanna is great!! Ellie had a wonderful time and even though this was Ellie’s first time with a sitter, we knew Deanna was right for us as soon as we met her 💕”

About: I have always loved animals since I was a child! I worked as a volunteer dog care attendant with the SPCA for 9 years, and am certified in pet first aid. I also have a background in dog training and have dabbled in various dog sports over the years. Currently I share my home with my pit bull Atlas who LOVES all other dog friends, and my senior cat Kallie. I work from home so I'm able to be with your pet 24/7 during their stay with me! This way they don't need to be alone while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard and a very social pitbull who loves to make new friends and play. I can also offer daily walks while your pup is in my care if desired!
“Remi Mae had the best time with Jessica and her dog Lemon! She was amazing at giving daily updates with pictures and videos. Remi was pooped after her weekend full of fun and play! She was super easy to communicate with and treated Remi like her own! I will be taking Remi back to Jessica!! I cannot recommend enough :)”

About: I am a reliable sitter that has cared for many breeds of dogs. Animals have always been my passion and I love to lend a helping hand. I also have a sweet golden of my own and everyday spent with her is a joy. I am living in Middleton during the week for work but would love to look after your furry friends on weekends so you can get out and enjoy. I have a friendly golden who loves other dogs so if you want some socializing for your dog she is a perfect playmate. Can walk your dogs alone or with my golden. I live in a house with a large fully fenced in backyard off a dead end quiet street. I have a golden retriever who is very friendly and loves all dogs so it would be fun if your pet is looking for a companion to play with. If you prefer your dog to be cared for alone, that is also not a problem.

We had such a great experience with Meghan! She took wonderful care of our golden retriever for four days and made her feel completely at home with her family and two dogs. Lots of walks, attention and company — we could tell she was happy and very well looked after. Meghan is also just around the corner from us, which made everything incredibly easy. We’d happily leave our girl with her again anytime. Thanks so much, Meghan!

My boy had a great stay with Kristen, he got lots of cuddles and attention. I was very comfortable leaving Slim, and he made himself at home immediately so he was definitely comfortable too :) I will defintely book with Kristen again, and I would highly recommend her!

Nicole is amazing! My usually nervous dog warmed up to her immediately, and based on the photos/videos of all their adventures, I don’t think he missed me one bit :D. I would highly recommend booking with her if your pet is shy around new people, she’s truly great with dogs! 10/10

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.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred.

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.

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.
You and your Cole Harbour sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
