“Karen was able to accommodate us on short notice when we needed day care for our dog, Baxter. She was open to an initial visit to see if Baxter would get along with her dogs. He was a little resistant initially, but Karen worked her magic and she soon won him over.”

About: My husband (Scott) and I have had dogs (and other animals) our entire lives. Over the years, we have consistently opened our home to rescues, strays, fosters, friend/ family pets, and have even socialized 4 litters of feral kittens for the Humane Society. Scott also has close to 15 years’ worth of experience with the Humane Society as a cruelty investigator. In 2024, we had to say farewell to both our aged cat and dog . We so miss our four-legged companions and are now ready to share our home again by spoiling your furry friends with exercise, cuddles and play time. So, doing so through Rover seemed like a natural fit. We both work from home, giving us the flexibility to pamper, exercise and stimulate your pooch! If our energy wanes at all, rest assured our 9-year-old son is always ready to step in with his endless enthusiasm 😊 Our extensive experience with senior animals, has also provided us with skills in administering medication, attending to spinal injuries, elderly pets, specialized food preparation etc. Having owned a rescue dalmatian, two rescue miniature dachshunds, and a 3-legged hound, we are also very familiar how to accommodate special needs, diets, injuries etc. Most importantly, we have learned that each furry friend has their own unique personality! 😊 A quick note about compatibility: To ensure a safe, calm, and positive environment for everyone—especially our returning clients—dogs staying with us must be non-aggressive toward other dogs. If your dog requires one-on-one care or has challenges with dog interactions, this may still be possible by arrangement, but an additional fee may apply to fairly account for the extra supervision and management required. We’re always happy to discuss your dog’s needs openly to determine the best fit. We can’t wait to meet your fur baby and spoil it like it is our own (and we will send you pictures to prove it)! Melody & Scott We work from home daily and make a point of walking at least once a day, no matter the weather (with or without a four-legged friend). Our house is steps away from the Chelsea rails to trails so we have miles of fun trails to explore together! Our home has multiple water stations, dog beds, and dog toy stations. Play time, brushing and cuddles are the highlight of the day in our home, so we make time for these regularly throughout the day!! We love to play with our furry friends!

“Wen is amazing. Milo had a great tome with her. I booked with her a few times before and will do it again as this is the only place that I see Milo coming back happy and calm. Milo also has a friend there (Wen’s dog) and they play all day.”
About: My husband and I have both been taking care of pets for at least 15 years. Whether it was our own pets or taking care of close family/friends pets, we have gained experience with puppies to senior dogs. We are comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, and helping to enforce desired training for your dog when they stay at our place. We currently have a 15lb dog named Sadi who loves other dogs and would be so excited to have a furry friend in the home. Taylor works remotely full-time so we are able to look after your furry friends for majority of the day, excluding general errands outside of the home. Since we have our own dog, we go on walks at least twice a day. Our dog, Sadi, is a 15 lb dog that loves to play and have other furry friends in her company. We live in a quiet neighbourhood that is extremely close to many outdoor walking trails. Sadi is outside of her crate all day so please keep that in mind when having your furry friend stay with us!
“I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her family! This was my first time ever using the Rover app, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous—but they made the entire process so easy and stress-free. They took incredible care of my puppy, Addison, and truly treated him like a member of their own family. I loved receiving photo updates throughout the day; it was so reassuring to see him happy and settled while I was away. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, attentive sitter. Thank you for making Addison’s stay so wonderful!”
“Qianzhi and her sister were wonderful with Arya. They provided her with so much care and attention. I felt confident knowing that she would be well cared for while we were out of town, and the photos and updates throughout the day made us miss her a little less.”
“We were very thankful for Nicole and Eddie’s availability on short notice when we needed to go out of town for the day. Both Teaka and Ciera were so excited when we arrived and they were very happy with their stay. They treated our girls like their own which put our minds at ease. I would totally recommend their services.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Yingshu and Shervin! From the moment we met them, we knew our puppy, Muse, was in caring, capable, and genuinely loving hands. Available on short notice, and they went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked her up, Muse was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well loved. It’s such a gift to find people you can fully trust with your pet, and we are beyond grateful for the incredible care they provided. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitters. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our little Muse!”
“Reiley took great care of Maui again. He was asleep on the drive home within minutes. Thank you so much. It’s so comforting to know he’s in such good hands. Highly recommend!!!”
“We used Olivia multiple times during our annual vacation in Ottawa and every time she kept us in the loop and our boys were returned happy and relaxed, which is great. Overnight stays were equally relaxed despite us worrying about the boys! She fully informed us of all aspects of their visits even asking if they could have some human food as we are vegans, of course they could and they had a great time. A+”
“Calypso is so comfortable staying with Alaina, even when she hasn't been there in a while. She remembers Alaina, her home and her dog and was eager to explore the familiar environment upon arrival. I am completely at ease leaving Calypso in Alaina's care.”
“We are traveling from out of town. We were concerned to leave our dog all day in our travel van all day due to the heat while we explored Ottawa. Linda & Joe looked after our dog. They sent us pictures to put our minds at ease. They were friendly and professional. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—from my family’s childhood terrier and lab, to cats who were part of our family for 16 years, to our sweet labradoodle Lyekka whom we cherished for 15 years. Today, we share our home with Chester, our energetic 3-year-old. Having cared for pets through every stage of life, I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. Working a standard 9-to-5 office schedule means I provide a wonderfully predictable and structured routine during the work week—quiet downtime while I'm out, followed by high-energy focus the moment I'm back. Evenings and weekends are dedicated to active play, long walks, and burning off pet energy. Because I genuinely thrive on the vitality and playfulness that pets bring, weekends are wide open for outdoor adventures, fetch sessions, and keeping them thoroughly engaged and happy. Whether hosting in my home alongside my friendly orange tabby Chester or visiting a client's place, safety and engagement are my top priorities. I utilize my evenings, and weekends to channel pets' natural energy through fun walks, play sessions, and attentive care in a calm, secure setting

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Help your dog become familiar with the day-care environment before their first full day. Arrange a Meet & Greet so they can visit the sitter’s home, meet the sitter and any resident pets, and explore the space while you are there. This can make the environment feel more familiar and help you and the sitter confirm that the setup is right for your dog.
Pack anything you and the sitter have agreed your dog will need, such as:
- Their usual food and approved treats, with feeding instructions
- Medication, with clear dosage instructions, if needed
- Their collar or harness and other walking equipment
- Familiar comfort items, such as a blanket or favourite toy
- Any seasonal gear they may need
On the day of the booking, keep your dog’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their usual meal, toilet break, and some light exercise. Keep drop-off calm and brief, which may help make the transition easier.
If your dog is shy, nervous, or needs more time to adjust to unfamiliar places, ask whether a shorter introductory stay is possible before their first full day.
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 Dirleton 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 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.
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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
