“Thank you to Linda and Bob for taking such good care of Chester for the week. Chester enjoys his time there and comes home happy, we really appreciate how they make him a part of their family.”
“If I could give 6 stars I would. Holly is quite possibly the best dog sitter I've ever met. My dog is old and requires medicine and Holly followed all the directions I gave her to the T. She was very dependable and I felt confident that my dog was being cared for appropriately while in Holly's care.”
“Melissa was so lovely to deal with and she took amazing care of my June. It felt like I was leaving my dog to stay with friends, and I never once worried about her! Thanks to Melissa & and her sweet daughter for taking June into your hone and treating her like she was your own!!”
“Rebel, our two year old golden doodle, happily stayed with Brigit and Rob while we travelled for 1.5 weeks. We enjoyed seeing the daily pictures of Rebel enjoying interesting walks, playtime and snuggles. He was obviously very well taken care of. Thanks Brigit and Rob!”
“Heather is the most wonderful dog sitter! She is warm and understanding of our pet’s needs and I cannot say enough about the quality of care that our Willow received from Heather while we were away at a wedding. Willow was well fed, walked, played with and snuggled! We really felt at ease knowing that she was in good hands. Heather sent us updates, photos and even a little video of how Willow was doing and having so much fun playing with her dog Alfie. We are so totally impressed with Heather!”
“Dhanesha took good care of Phoebe, making sure she got lots of cuddles! It was great getting all the photos and videos so I could see how she was settling in - mostly on Dhanesha’s bed! I would definitely book Dhanesha again for future dog care!”
About: I’ve had plenty of experience caring for dogs since I got my own when I was 8. I have been around dogs of all different breeds, ages, and sizes, and I love them all! I have always been the go to dog sitter for friends and family because I am reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Every dog has its own needs and routine so I will always make sure they are loved, cared for, and come home happy! I am currently in my 3rd year at Queen’s studying Health. I am available all day Thursday-Monday. I have limited weekly commitments outside of classes so I should be very flexible with timing for the remainder of the week as well! I live in a central area in Kingston with nearby parks and lots of walkable streets. My home also has plenty of room for a dog and it has an outdoor area!
“Nicole took our dog for a couple of walks each day and was able to play with both her kids and pets. Nicole also gave us an update on our pet's stay along with a photo.”
About: I've been dog sitting and walking small to extra large dogs for over 5 years! I've also had large dogs my whole life. I enjoy spending time outdoors and going for walks and having a pet with me makes it better! I've grown up around puppies as well as dog sat puppies before. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I go for walks everyday, and I'm on a regular routine with times I am available to let dogs out and feeding. I care for pets like they are my own! As a pet owner myself, I take caring for someone's pet very seriously. I will treat your pet as it was my own.
“Ana was wonderful. It was the first time we left our Korra with someone outside the family. Korra immediately took a liking to Ana (during the introductory walk). Ana was very easy to coordinate with and she sent photos and messages every day. Korra was well taken care of and clearly very happy. She also made friends with Ana's cat Ellie. We won't hesitate to ask Ana to dog sit next time.”
“Janelle was absolutely wonderful with my two cairn terriers. The only reason for not a five is that she lives in an apartment and it was stressful if my dogs barked for her. She took them on tons of walks, groomed them as asked, sent photos of their adventures and gave them lots of love and attention. Thank you.”
“This was my first experience with Rover. I was nervous about leaving my girl Minnie overnight for the first time. Lisa put my mind at ease quickly, and Minnie was so well cared for. I got frequent updates and photos and she looked very happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Lisa—an attentive caregiver and kind person as well! Will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for our family pets and my own pets my entire life. I’ve provided a home for both cats and dogs with a variety of different personalities and needs. I’ve been trusted with walking, feeding and watching my family and friends fur babies on many occasions. My goal is that every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I’m currently a student. I’m available between classes for potty breaks, walks, or some play time. I am also available after classes, time will vary based on my schedule, and weekends. I have two lovely cats in my apartment, one of which will be your pets best friend, and the other prefers to keep to herself. I will do my best to ensure your pet sticks to their regular routine, whether it’s in my home or yours.
About: With 12 years of professional pet care experience, I've worked in dog daycare, obedience training, dog walking companies, and overnight pet sitting for dogs, cats, and small animals. I'm experienced with administering medication and caring for senior pets with special needs. I believe every pet is unique, so I work closely with owners to ensure your furry friend gets the safe, loving care they deserve while you're away. I have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to move my shift around as needed to suit your pets needs. Your pets needs come first to ensure they are happy and healthy. I have 2 friendly cats but only one (Whiskey) will show face during your pets visit in my home. I have an unfenced yard with a tie out that gives your pet tons of space to roam the yard. My yard backs onto the woods and is away from the road. Your pet will always be monitored in my home and will never be left unattended. In your home, I will follow your guidance and continue your pets routine however that may look.
About: Since the age of 10 I’ve always had a house full of pets , wether they were mine, friends, neighbours or families pets I always ensured they were loved and well taken care of! I currently work from home therefore have a lot of flexibility and time to care for pets. Walks are always taken every 3-4 hours and playtime is anytime! I live in a spacious apartment with plenty of room for pets to stretch out, play, and feel comfortable. I maintain a safe, clean, and calm environment, ensuring regular potty breaks, structured exercise, active engagement, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day
“Leah, James and their fur baby Wally were great hosts! I received photos during Porters stay and he looked relaxed and happy! Thank you again for extending your home (and sharing your bed!) with my boy! 💙”
About: I’m a patient, caring dog lover who would be happy to welcome your pup into my home while you’re away! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My schedule varies depending on when my own dogs are with their dad, which means I have opportunities to host overnight stays! My apartment is already dog-proofed, furniture is welcome, and I have access to a fenced-in area where your pup can run around and enjoy some outdoor time. For safety, I won’t bring your dog into the fenced area if other dogs are using it. I may also be available other nights of the week while my dogs are home, as long as a meet and greet is set up before hand to ensure everyone gets along well! For dogs staying during the day, I do require that they’re comfortable being left alone for periods of time. I’ll be sure to give your pup plenty of patience, companionship, and affection while you’re away. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Your home may be where you belong, but my home can be their home away from home! 🐶💕 Pet sitting fits naturally into my schedule during the times my own dogs are with their dad. My availability varies, but I can welcome a dog into my home for up to three nights at a time, depending on the dates and the dog’s needs. I’m happy to provide company, care, and a comfortable home away from home, as long as your pup is comfortable being left alone for periods of time when needed. I’ll make sure their stay is a positive, safe, and loving experience! 🐾 I care for them in my home as I care for my own dogs. This includes feeding them meals, potty breaks, walks, and relaxing with them.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elginburg
Robyn is amazingly attentive and our big lazy boy really loves being there. He gets out and moves and even plays with the other dogs some. He still does a lot of laying around (on the couch) and sleeping but Robyn's place really is just like being at home. I have never felt more comfortable leaving our dog with someone as I do with Robyn. We love the updates and photos we get too.
I had never boarded my dogs, an old, scared Golden Retriever and an energetic Border Collie-X so I was worried. When I met Robyn and saw her setup, I was confident that she was a good choice. Both dogs took to her right away. While I was away, Robyn sent me updates and photos every day. My Golden, Dakota didn't want to do much...I expected that. Genie, the border collie-x had a great time. She even found a playmate in one of the day borders. Robyn says my girls are always welcome back. I highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elginburg home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Elginburg
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
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.
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.
