“First off I wish I could give 10 Stars!!! Emily and her family were absolutely amazing! My Harley looooves people and kids but does need to be the only dog in the house and she was very understanding about that. We got lots of pictures and updates throughout our trip. If you are looking for an awesome and caring family to watch your best friend while on vacation give Emily a shout! She has absolutely got a replete customer in me! Thank you Emily for taking such great care of my best bud! You guys are awesome”
“This was our first time leaving her with a stranger and not family. We were so nervous but Rosie and Olive put us at ease. We had a great meet and greet and wonderful feedback every day, along with lots of photos and videos. We could not have asked for a better outcome. Would highly recommend Roselyn.”
About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm a confident, patient and attentive caregiver who understands that each dog has unique needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making each dog feel comfortable and at home. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or maintaining their regular routine, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. As a stay at home parent, I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I can easily maintain your dog's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and one friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new friends. I always introduce the dogs gradually and supervise interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. If your dog needs their own space, I'm happy to accommodate this as well, including crating if requested. I'll follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions. I will send you updates if requested so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.
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.
“Jennifer was Fab! We had an incredible experience with Jennifer as our dog sitter. Her home was warm and welcoming. We knew Ella was loved and cared for, and Jennifer did a fabulous job. We couldn’t be happier!”
“Gina took amazing care of my pup, Miso. She sent updates and pictures regularly and kept me in the loop as to how my baby was doing while I was away. I would definitely book with Gina again!”
“Rain was lovely to deal with and took wonderful care of Ellie! Rain accommodated Ellie however she could, checked in with me and sent lots of pictures! Ellie was happy when I picked her up and I could tell she enjoyed her stay! We will definitely be going back!”
“Liefe, Eliza and Kiran were great and I had no issues. Basil stayed with them for two weeks and I felt she would have gotten lots of love and attention. They responded in a timely manner when we were scheduling dropping her off and picking her up and let me know when there were issues. I would book with them again.”
“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 🙂”
“Greer was wonderful with Tobi! She took such great care of him and gave him plenty of attention and affection while we were away. Her daily communication and updates were greatly appreciated and gave us complete peace of mind knowing Tobi was happy and well cared for. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care and will absolutely be reaching out to Greer again in the future. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and reliable pet sitter!”
About: I have been fostering and taking care of dogs for over ten years and have lots of experience with puppies through to seniors. I am in a pet friendly apartment with a lot of beautiful spaces for outdoor time and lots of parks nearby for us to walk to. My space is clean and uncluttered so nothing for pups to get into, and I love a good snuggle on the couch or at night with the pups. I recently lost my senior border collie. I have experience crate training puppies and have also done puppy training and obedience classes. I work from home so I’m available for lots of pee breaks and play sessions. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I work remotely with a flexible schedule so can easily accommodate your pups needs. I am an early riser and love getting outside early in the mornings! I care for your dogs in the same way I do mine - lots of attention, lots of love and activity. I have crate trained puppies and am used to lots of different types of dogs.
“Amanda was great to work with for scheduling and took excellent care of my dog (he immediately went to sleep when we got home, he was exhausted from playing!). I would definitely recommend using her!”
About: I know the essentials of dog care. I’ve lived in a home with a dog for a little over 12 years as an adult. I had the privilege of having my first pup Cooper, raising and training him. From this experience I learned some essential on senior dog care. He requires specialist veterinary care. I have also learned a lot from a family member who works in animal medicine I’ve gone through the incredibly cute puppy phase of training both of my pups. I use positive reinforcement always. Both my dogs thrived with this training and turned out well mannered but still have fun. With any dog I’ve had or looked after, I know exercise is essential. Of course the amount is breed dependant. The two pups I’ve had are high energy breeds, a husky shepherd mix and now a black Labrador. The saying indeed does ring true “a tired dog is a happy dog” I am currently available during the days and early evenings. I have a vehicle but live outside of HRM. It’s best for both people to have advanced notice to insure I can accommodate the request. I care for every pet with patience, kindness, and attention to their needs. Just like people no two dogs are the same. I would want to speak with you to make sure I understand what your furry friend requires to make it as stress free for them. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of love, supervision, exercise, and positive attention. I make sure your dog feels secure, happy, and well cared for while they’re with me.
“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 💕”
“Rebecca took great care of Nash during his stay and was very flexible and accommodating for some of his extra needs following dental surgery. It is clear that Nash got lots of exercise and was well loved during his stay. We would highly recommend Rebecca and her family :)”

Greer was wonderful with Tobi! She took such great care of him and gave him plenty of attention and affection while we were away. Her daily communication and updates were greatly appreciated and gave us complete peace of mind knowing Tobi was happy and well cared for. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care and will absolutely be reaching out to Greer again in the future. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and reliable pet sitter!
Nina had a great stay with Ryan. I was a little nervous as this was my first time booking a dog sitter to go on a trip abroad. Ryan sent me pictures of Nina while I was away, which reassured me she was having a good time. Upon my return, I picked up a very happy and relaxed pup that clearly enjoyed her own little vacation. I will definitely try to rebook when I plan my next trip.
Kate was amazing with our dog, Ladybug! She was super responsive and accommodated all of our requests and walked Ladybug multiple times a day. Kate sent pictures very regularly, going above and beyond for us. This was this first time using Rover and the first time leaving Ladybug, so our anxiety was initially pretty high-Kate made us feel totally at ease. We will not hesitate to send Ladybug to Kate whenever we need to travel in the future.
Gigi was amazing with our dog, Arizona! She followed all of our instructions so carefully and was great about administering our dogs’ anxiety medication/keeping us updated about how she was doing during her stay. Our dog has severe separation anxiety and can be a handful, so we really appreciate finding a sitter who understands her little quirks and makes us feel comfortable leaving her. Thank you, Gigi!
Thanks Trish for the excellent care that you provided Bea. Before leaving her, I had some concerns because it was my first time and Bea's young age but Trish send updates informing of how she settling in. I was soon relaxed and able to enjoy my grandson's graduation. I would use her services again.
We had such a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Lou. Our dog can be a bit anxious, and she seemed to feel comfortable right away. Lou was super communicative and sent photos of our dog having a great time :) we are so happy to have found such a lovely dog sitter, and will definitely be booking again!
Sydney and Mike took such wonderful care of Pablo, and I’m so grateful for how attentive and caring they were with him. It was very clear that they genuinely cared about his comfort and wellbeing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. They were reliable, thoughtful, and treated Pablo like he was their own. I felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care, and I would absolutely trust them with him again. I highly recommend Sydney and Mike to anyone looking for kind, dependable, and genuinely caring pet boarders!
Felicity (& Gail) were incredible with my rather nervous girl. My dog is very selective, and within mere minutes of meeting Felicity (who was going to be the main caregiver) in their home, Lizzie was sprawled out on the floor and happy to let herself be touched. They stayed in contact, kept me updated, and after 8 days, I picked up a very happy & tired doggo. Would recommend, and will absolutely return to them for future needs.

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.
