“Daryl was wonderful !!! We returned to a happy and healthy pup and it was clear that she had a good time. I was very pleased with the level of care and attentiveness. And, she now has a new best friend ! We will be using his services again in the future.”
“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!”
“Jannie took my dog at the last minute over a long weekend. She sent us constant updates on how he was doing and ensured that his stay was perfect. Highly recommend Jannie to anyone looking for somewhere to leave their family member.”
“Kimberly took care of my dog Olive for 2 weeks while I was away. I immediately knew it would be a good match when our dogs had no issues on our initial walk. She has a very well behaved big dog. She asked all the right questions for Olive's stay, and I got plenty of photo updates which I really appreciated. Olive made many new friends during her time there, and I know she'll be excited to go back to see Kim the next time we go away. Thank you, Kim!”
“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 :)”
“I was worried about leaving my senior cat with anyone as she had not stayed anywhere before. You was excellent at sending updates with pictures and videos twice per day and I soon was not worried about my cat. It is obvious she is an animal lover and I will use her service again when I travel. I received updates on her eating and behaviour which is what I wanted!”
“Sarah was very helpful and great with my girl, Nelly! She was very responsive, followed instructions, and sent pictures as well! I would definitely recommend Sarah for your pet sitter needs!”
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!
“Kelly, William and their sweet dog Ziggy took excellent care of my senior guy. They were so easy to coordinate with and were great with sending updates while I was away. I will absolutely book with them again and feel lucky to have found such caring people!”
“David and Emma were fantastic with our dog, Stanley. He has quite a few quirky routines and specific needs, and they took excellent care of him and followed everything perfectly. They truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them look after Stanley again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dartmouth
Kelly and her partner took exquisite care of our pup, Pinto. First of all, Kelly's communication during the booking process was timely and clear, which gave me a very positive first impression. Due to a change in our flight, we had to request an earlier drop off time and Kelly was super accommodating. When we arrived to their home, Kelly greeted us with warmth and a calm demeanor, which comforted Pinto, who was clearly a little anxious by the new situation. Kelly let Pinto sniff around their home while we chatted about logistics in care. I knew instinctively that Pinto was going to be looked after with reverence, which was very reassuring for me. During our time away, Kelly gave me an update with photos and it was clear that Pinto was getting lots of outside adventures and she appeared to be very content in their care. When we arrived for pick-up, Pinto was of course happy to see us, though not in any rush to leave their cozy home as she tucked back in on their couch after saying hello! Kelly and her partner filled us in on the week and thankfully they gave us a positive report on having Pinto in their care. They took her out for hikes and walks and social interactions with other dogs. They also groomed her and bathed her (after she jumped in some stinky water) and to be honest, her coat was so soft and shiny that I had to ask how they did it! She was clearly very well taken care of, above and beyond really, and we will absolutely book with Kelly the next time we are in need. 5+++++ STARS, indeed.
Five stars! Chris is an experienced dog owner who cared for our dog, Patience, in a very fine way, creating a calm environment for her short stay! Chris communicated clearly (with photos), and went the extra mile with walks and activities. We returned to a happy pet and a tidy home and will definitely look to Chris to watch our Patience again!
Overall a fantastic experience boarding Kiwi. They were polite and timely with their communication. I appreciated the flexibility they demonstrated to accept Kiwi into their home, as well as the frequent cute video and picture updates. Kiwi looked like she was right at home.
Christine was great— she is clearly so experienced with dogs, and was very patient and calm with our (sometimes tricky) senior guy. He even had a little injury on his foot and Christine handled the extra care with ease. Our pup seemed very happy and chill at her place and she kept us updated throughout his stay. I would enthusiastically recommend Christine!
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!
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!

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.
