“Stine took great care of our Fergus, sending lots and lots of photos and updates and taking him on lots of hikes. He was so happy to be there for the 5 days we left him and got to play non-stop with her dog Brodie. Her and her husband Walt obvious took care of Fergus as if he was their own. They were also very accommodating when our flight got re-routed and we arrived a couple of hours late. We would definitely book again with Stine without hesitation”
“This was the second time we booked Kendall, this time for boarding in her home, and it was a positive experience from start to finish! She was flexible and accommodating when we had to change our pickup time, which we really appreciated. Kendall is a true pro and it’s obvious she loves what she does, and treated our anxious pup with so much consideration and sensitivity. We can absolutely recommend Kendall and will be hiring her next time we go away!”
About: Since I can remember I’ve had such a love for animals and their beautiful personalities and energy. Since approximately 12 years of age I’ve cared for and raised dogs. My husband and I have had two wonderful companions for 16-18 years who are sadly no longer with us. We continue to want to have animals in our life and help where we can. We have experience with puppies , middle aged, and senior pups and love all the stages that each age ranges bring. With family member we understand the utmost care and trust is needed. When we had our two dogs our lives definitely revolved around the both of them. Whether it be walking, feeding, playing and medications - they always came first. They were family. Our home consists of 2.5 floors. We have hardwood and carpets (runners) available for dogs who have traction issues. We can carry dogs that weigh up to 20 Ibs up and down if needed if they are older and also utilize baby gates. Water is available up and down and we also have AC.
“Kirsten was amazing! She took such great care of our rambunctious 6 month old puppy. Kirsten was quick to communicate and updated us with pictures and good feedback. We will definitely use Kirsten as our dog sitter again! Thanks for everything ?”
“My dog has been left with strangers during day and friends at night and seems to do fine. But strangers overnight was rough for him and gave him a nervous stomach. Marlisa was very gracious and helped him feel more settled. She also paid careful attention to his medical notes. Would highly recommend as someone that will care well for your pet.”
“We were visiting Victoria and needed an overnight stay for finn. Kaori was available and had Finn, he had so much fun and Kapri was great communicating with us. We received photos and a video of Finn showing Finn playing. Should we need another overnight stay we would definitely call Kaori”
“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!”

“Olivia was a great dog sitter for Stormy. She kept us posted and sent us photos and videos throughout the day. She was also very helpful when our trip home got delayed due to ferry cancellations and kept Stormy for longer than we had planned.”
“Another great experience with Jena. She's great to work with. Our pup loves spending time with her, and we trust her totally with our little dog. This means we can always rest assured when our pup stays over. We were very lucky on this occasion that Jena was available at short notice. She made a great effort to help us out. Her communication is always excellent. Thanks Jena! See you soon.”

Sasha was well cared for, provided her medication for ear infection, folled her post surgery requirements, took her for many walks, and spoiled her with love!”

Olivia is amazing! She took a last minute booking for the night and my dog had the best time! George is typically a shy dog but seemed to warm up to Olivia right away. She was super communicative and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. Thank you Olivia!!
Monica was amazing! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Her kids were incredibly sweet and so good with him—it was clear he felt comfortable and loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Monica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Audrey was absolutely amazing!!! She did a meet and greet at a park before booking, which I super appreciated, and then was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay!!! I’m an anxious dog parent so having her look after Roxy and treat her as her own was perfect. I absolutely would book her again!!!!!
Angela was so great to work with and took such good care of my girl, Millie. She was so friendly, responsible and clearly cared about making sure my dog was happy and well looked after. She sent loads of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated! I would not hesitate to book with Angela again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Dominique is so loving and thoughtful, we felt at ease leaving our big 8 month old pup with her, she is also super flexible and responsive, we had an emergency come up and Dominique worked around our schedule. Thank you for everything! We would definitely recommend her.

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 pet, 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
