“My dog Harley's experience with Diana has been great. He has had a great deal of separation anxiety over the past six months but he is happy when we get to her home. Diana is very affectionate with Harley, as is her young daughter. Harley is very comfortable in their home now and I know he is being loved and taken good care of. Thank you for taking such great care of Harley!”
“Sayali, thank you very much for taking such a good care of my little dude. I can tell he really enjoyed the time he spent with you all. He loved playing with your dogs 😍.”
“Lama was a fantastic sitter, very communicative and kind with our Blue. He came back happy and calm ☺️ Whenever we are in London again we will have 0 hesitation to book with her again.”
“Bentley spent an entire Saturday with Rugile and her partner and had the best time. I received many amazing photos and video clips throughout the day to see what they were up to. I had a great feeling from the meet n' greet and appreciated how proactive Rugile is in communicating. Will definitely be reaching out again to have them care for my furbaby.”
About: I have been a passionate and dedicated caregiver for dogs of all breeds and temperaments since I was 15 years old. Having grown up with dogs, including my own Golden Retriever, Casper, and a German Shepherd I owned when I was 15, I have a deep, lifelong appreciation for the unique companionship dogs provide. My experience goes beyond just basic care; I am fully comfortable and skilled in administering both oral and topical medications. Neighbors, friends, and family consistently rely on me because they know I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I am supported by my two teenagers who also love dogs and enjoy helping out. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I pride myself on my patience, reliability, and ability to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you are away. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a senior dog requiring extra care, you can rest assured they are in loving, capable hands." Tips for your profile: Highlighting Experience: Mentioning your personal history with breeds like Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds builds instant credibility with owners of similar dogs. Adding Special Skills: Explicitly stating that you are comfortable with oral and topical medication is a major "plus" for owners of senior or special-needs pets. Family Support: Mentioning your teenagers shows that your home is a dog-friendly, active environment where their pet will receive plenty of attention. Would you like me to refine the headline for this new version? Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because our home is truly a dog-loving environment! I have incredible support from my family, including my two teenagers who absolutely love dogs and are always happy to help with walking, feeding, and playing. Additionally, my husband works full-time from home, which means there is always someone present to provide companionship and supervision. Because of this team effort, your pup will never be left alone and will always have someone to engage with, making it easy for me to ensure they receive consistent, attentive care even when I am out. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live in a spacious 5-bedroom house, providing plenty of room for your dog to feel at home. Outside, we have a large, secure space for play, including a big, fenced-in deck that is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the fresh air. Our environment is designed to be safe and engaging, and I am always happy to crate your dog if that helps them feel more secure or follows their established routine at home.
“Yarinka and her family were absolutely amazing with my girl Belle. She was a little nervous to stay somewhere new and Yarinka made sure to make her comfortable with lots of love, walks, homemade treats etc. Yarinka sent regular updates as well. I would absolutely recommend Yarinka and her family.”
“Thank you for making everything work so smoothly and accommodating us on such short notice. We truly appreciate the effort to get it done close to our deadline. We will definitely be back again!”
“Angela is such a great sitter. I left Alex with her more than 12 hours a day without any worry. She replied to my messages within a few minutes and kept me updated with pictures. Thankyou so much for taking such great care of my dog. ❤”
“Felix had a great day with Jennifer's family! At our pre-booking visit I was immediately struck by Jennifer's warm and relaxed nature, and felt confident that Felix would be well cared for. She provides a wonderful service and was professional and flexible. She sent some photos during the visit as well. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Kollin has become our go to weekly dog sitter for his daycare needs. We had originally tried things out after our favourite daycare closed down, and Kollin has been great since. Link loves going and he’s a happy dog when he comes home! Kollin has been great with our super high energy dog! And he’s been super flexible through our very long days at work! Which happens a lot unfortunately, so having an option for link to not be in his crate too much makes us really happy! Plus we love the continued socialization for Link as many different dogs are in and out of Kollin’s care when Link is there and Link loves playing with them! We’re really happy with Kollin’s professionalism and care for Link! We keep booking with him weekly!”
“My dog had a second day of daycare with Alexandria. When we arrived for drop-off, he did an excited little spin and couldn’t wait to go inside! At pick-up, he was happy and tired. He immediately zonked out when we got home. Alexandria is super reliable and responsive as a sitter and such a lovely person. Highly recommend. Thanks again!”
“Bernard had a wonderful time with Jasmine! She was polite and responsive and provided amazing updates and photos throughout their visit. I would definitely use her services again!”

About: Hello, my name is Carrie and I have over 2 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and as a Biology student at Western University with experience around animals. I love spending time with pets of all personalities and breeds. I’m comfortable with walks (2-3 times per day), feeding, administering oral medications, cleaning litter boxes, and providing enrichment and companionship. I only board ONE FAMILY’s pet(s) at a time for a calm, stress-free stay. Same-day booking requests are also welcome whenever my schedule allows! 😊 To help your pet feel comfortable in the summer ☀️ I provide: - Air-conditioned room 24/7 - Cooling mat - Fan - Toys - Treats (offer only with your approval and if they fit your pet’s diet) - Access to a quiet, shaded green space - Pet/security camera (I rarely leave pets alone for more than 3 hours. On the rare occasion that I do, I use it to check in and make sure they’re safe and comfortable.) I treat every pet like my own and want them come home happy. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages during each visit. I’ll be a student this fall, but most of my classes are remote, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days, including holidays. If I ever need to be away for more than 3 hours, I’ll always let you know before the booking begins and make sure your pet is comfortable and settled before I leave. My home: I live in a clean, smoke-free and air-conditioned apartment with no roommates, providing a calm and safe environment for your pet. I don’t smoke, drink, or party, and your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I also live close to PetSmart, making it easy to pick up any pet supplies or handle last minute needs if requested. Your home: I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care as my own:) keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it.
About: I was a vet assistant as young adult. I was involved in the care of the animals in both routine situations and in more critical medical situations. Dogs are an important part of my life. I also have an affinity for cats and any domestic animals. I believe they enrich our lives as humans and are entitled to our care and respect. Recently retired so am available for my pet friends throughout the day and evening. I prefer 48 hour notice but will do my best to accommodate shorter notice requests. I adhere to the owners household and behavioural rules for the pet while in my care. I adapt to the needs and temperament of the pet by providing as much or as little in the way of cuddles and affection as your pet needs. I would be thrilled to meet and care for your pet!
About: I have dog sit multiple dogs and all sizes including great dane. This has helped me understand a lot abt their behaviour and I can read signals quickly. I love to play with them and also make sure they are getting their daily exercise. The longest I have been is with a pet for 21 days and the parents were so happy to see their pup happy. I know how hard it can be to stay away from your pup. I am comfortable with the schedule and will be able to manage according to your schedule.

Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Delaware commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ON ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
