“Simply the best. always great and so accommodating. My dogs love them both. It takes all the stress out of leaving your valued pets. Thank you Malcolm and Annette”
“Lauren is a super dog boarder. She was very great with communication and sending pictures before, during and after Harley’s boarding session with her. Lots of walks and cuddle times. It was very much appreciated and totally stress free!”
“Stephanie was amazing with my dog, Olive! Her two dogs were so well-behaved and got along great with Olive. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me adorable pictures, and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell Olive was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Stephanie again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Vicki took a good care of our 11 year old dog Fitz. The place is beautiful and the fenced back yard was perfect for our dog to enjoy. Fitz came back home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend. Thank you Vicki!”
“Melanie went above and beyond our expectations. She was able to look after Murphy in very short notice, catered to all his needs and even replaced his harness after he ruined it. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Sandeep and his wife provided a lovely home for our doodle Bourbon. After our first meet up, Bourbon was excited when we went back to drop him off.

“Amanda and her son were the best we could find for Simba when we want to vacation. My puppy had a blast and even missed them when he was back with us. Amanda kept in touch with us daily while we were away, giving us updates and sending us pictures. Amanda is highly recommended if you looking for a dog sitter.”
“Our first time with Christy! We will definitely be back! She is so kind and caring and her little dog Luna is a sweetheart. My dog got along with both of them really well! :)”

“She is an excellent pet sitter, and I felt completely at ease leaving my senior dog in her care. My dog is small, timid, and can be nervous around other dogs, but she made sure that all interactions were safe and comfortable for her. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with photos and videos, which meant a lot to me and gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog and treated her with kindness and patience. I am very grateful for the wonderful care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

Jason was amazing with my dog! I wasn’t sure how my dog would do for the first time in a boarding situation when he’s shy and nervous. Jason took the time to come meet him in advance of the date for travel to make him comfortable and was very attentive to his feeding and care instructions. While I was away he sent me photos every day to show me how Patron was doing. I couldn’t be happier with his service and would 100% book him again!
Kali was awesome! She was super communicative throughout the entire stay and sent me pictures of my pup every single day, which I really appreciated! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. She seems like such a genuinely kind and caring person who really loves animals. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pets. I would definitely book with her again!
Montana is amazing! Our puppy Pluto loves her, and they had a great time together during his stay. She kept us updated with photos and messages and communicated really well. We felt comfortable knowing Pluto was in good hands. We’ll definitely use her services again!
Alanna was a clear communicator and quick to respond. She made sure Annie was the right fit for her family with a meet and greet, which gave me peace of mind that everything would go smoothly while I was away. She also updated me with daily photos and summaries of how Annie was doing. I would rebook with Alanna in the future and will recommend her to friends.
Princey took fantastic care of our pup Cedar while we were away for four days, and was very accommodating for our last-minute booking. We received many photos and updates, and it was a such a relief to know our dog was so well-taken care of. We would absolutely recommend Princey for dog boarding, and we’d love to book again in the future!
Our Thalia had a lovely stay with Rachel and her family. It was our first time using Rover and Rachel made the process very smooth - she was always very open, communicative and willing to answer all our questions. She also provided constant updates and the ability to book a drop-off to our house was above and beyond since we got home very late. We’d definitely recommend Rachel with friends and consider her for our future boarding needs. (Plus: her girls have so much love to our senior baby girl!)
Amelia, Thomas and Biscuit all have such lovely calm energy, as well as in their home. Dottie received wonderful care while in the care of them. I don’t think Dottie wanted to leave! Thank you for providing such a stress free boarding experience with lots of updates. ❤️
Karly and Brent took such good care of our King Charles Cavaliers this week while we were away. We really appreciated the photos and could tell the girls felt right at home with them. Ace is such a lovely guy and it’s nice the girls have a new friend. :) Thank you so much Karly and Brent!
Rose was, and continues to be, an absolute gem. From the moment we entrusted Kuma to her care, we knew he was in wonderful hands. Throughout his stay, Rose provided regular updates, photographs, and videos, giving us much-needed peace of mind while we were away. Her honesty, warmth, kindness, and genuine love for animals came through in every interaction. She didn’t simply “watch” Kuma — she welcomed him into her home, cared for him, cuddled him, played with him, and made him feel completely at ease. Perhaps the best review came directly from Kuma himself! When we arrived to pick him up, he greeted us with a few kisses and snuggles…and then promptly turned around and went back inside to continue playing with Misty. We couldn’t have asked for a better sign that he had felt happy, safe, loved, and very much at home. Finding someone you can trust with a beloved member of your family is incredibly important, and Rose gave us complete confidence from beginning to end. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she gave Kuma and would recommend her without hesitation. Five stars simply aren’t enough. Thank you, Rose, for loving our boy so well. Kuma is already looking forward to his next visit with you and Misty!
Anna was wonderful and very accomodating looking after my cat while I was visiting family out of the country. Her calm, friendly, and intuitive personality made my cat feel right at home. I can definitely count on her and will be reaching out to her again in the future.
Kate was awesome. This was our first time leaving our nervous dog at a sitters home and Kate was so great and giving lots of detailed updates and any concerns she had she brought to our attention immediately. Nori seems to really love Kate and bonded with her well. We would book Kate again in a heartbeat.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Look at other pet parent reviews and repeat pet parent booking rates for an idea of their pet care exp erience.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.
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.
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.
