“Sofia is excellent. 10/10 communication. She has sent me updates with cutest of pictures. She is truly a dog lover at heart and so is her little helper. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook her again and honestly, looking forward to it. Sofia, you rock!! Thank you!!!”
“We left our 2 dogs with Anna and it was great. She kept us posted with updates and pictures, and our dogs were quite calm when they came back home. Anna was very nice and gentle through and through this whole process. We're definitely going to ask her to take care of our dogs again!”
“We are so grateful to have found Yurixhi on Rover. She and her family treat our little Shih-poo Mango like part of their family. We no longer have to worry about her well-being when we are away. Thank you Yurixhi and family for making Mango have such a wonderful place to stay when we are away.”
“Naomi was wonderful! My dog Freya has allergies and has an injured leg that needs to be watched. Naomi was diligent in following my requests for her care. By the reports and photos Naomi sent it was clear how happy and comfortable Freya felt in this new temporary home. Naomi’s obvious love for dogs and cats is heartwarming. This was by far the best experience we’ve had. I strongly and happily recommend Naomi. Freya will absolutely be a returning customer.”
“Anna was absolutely wonderful with my dog Morty! She kept me updated throughout with photos and status updates, which made being away so much easier. Everything was handled smoothly from start to finish - I could tell Morty was in great hands. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Deeksha looked after our dog Arthur for two weeks and did an amazing job! He came home very happy and relaxed and had obviously been well cared for. We really appreciated the updates she sent us especially since it was his first time away from us for so long. Would highly recommend.”
“Rie took excellent care of our dog. She was professional, accommodating to our unique schedule and sent pictures and updates that put our mind at ease! Lovely large fenced backyard!”
“I highly recommend Nilesh! From the moment I met them, I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in their care. They were incredibly responsible, attentive, caring, and genuinely treated my dog as if they were their own. What stood out most was the level of communication and care. I received regular updates, photos, and reassurance throughout the stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Svitlana!! She cared for our 6 year old cat and 3 year old dog (golden retriever) for the duration of March Break 2025. She provided such amazing care that they did not appear to want to come home with us at pick up! She sent frequent updates and amazing photos of our girls. Our trip was so much better knowing how loved and happy they were. Without hesitation I recommend this sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking her for all future travel.”
“Thank you both for taking such great care of Puddle during the week. It looks like he had a great vacation from the photos. Will be sure to reach out for our next boarding needs. Best wishes. Paul”
“Qurratul was amazing. She took care of our Canelle for 2 weeks. She instantly made us comfortable and kept us posted with photos. She understood Canelle needs and made her stay awesome. Thank you again”
“Daniela was amazing!! My little baby looked so happy in the videos she sent me, and I appreciate how Daniela took her super last minute late night when I desperately needed someone. It’s rare to find someone this available. I’m 100% going back to Daniela for future dog sitting”
“Noel & Katy have twice now taken great care of my dog. They're giving her much needed activity and for that I am grateful and doesn't hurt they live very close to me. I highly recommend them as great dog sitters.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our baby girl was so well cared for every time and loved while we were away. Wilman sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that they truly love animals and treat them like family. We will definitely be booking again and highly recommend Wilman to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive sitter!”
About: Hi! My name is Roxy, and I’m a lifelong dog lover with a soft spot for small to medium-sized pups (up to 40 lbs). I grew up with a Shih Tzu and a Pomeranian, and now I’m a proud dog mom to an energetic and lovable Beagle named Hunter. 🐶 My husband Scott and I team up to care for our furry guests, and we both genuinely enjoy giving dogs the attention, love, and playtime they deserve. Whether it’s a cozy nap, a game of fetch, or just some good company, your pup will be treated like part of the family in our home. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our pack! I work from home and I’m off during weekends. Whenever I’m looking after a dog, I make sure that I am available to stay with them the whole time. We can do walks and a play day at the park, I am sure I will pamper your pooch with lots of love and pets :)
“I book a daycare for our chihuahua girl Mango with Crizaline and Marc. The moment we met them, I can feel they definitely love dogs. They sent me lots of good photos of Mango getting along well with their dog and their family. Definitely recommend”
“A definite 5 star!!! We went away on holiday for 2 weeks and our Bernedoodle Lola ( 5 yrs old) had the best holiday ever with Sara and Steve and their wonderful two fur babies. Sara sent us updates more than once a day ( which we loved!) so we could see how our big girl was doing. Sara has a wonderful calming presence and has no problem handling big dogs or small ones. Their home is very dog friendly and they both treated our Lola as if she was their own. We can tell from the photos that our Lola was very very happy there. Sara gave Lola plenty of walks and cuddles and she even slept in the big bed, and made herself quite at home. This family is lovely and truly love dogs of all kinds. We will definitely use them again and have already recommended Sara and Steve to other dog families. Thank you so much!”

We brought Kobe here for daycare and for boarding over the weekend. We had a very good experience and we can tell our high energy dog had a very good time as he was absolutely calm and exhausted when we picked him up. Nairy and Joseph were very kind and attentive and we will be bringing kobe back when needed. Thank you so much!
Deeksha was the most genuine dog sitter. She made sure that our dog Sabrina had the attention she needed even when she was in heat. Sabsab was already kissing her after the first night and completely trusted her. She always share updates and make you feel at ease. She even washed our dog a few times, and made sure she is well fed. Our dog was on a vacation as much as we were! I recommend Deeksha 100% and will surely book her again. Thank you for your genuine care for animals. 🤍
My dog, True, had recently had a medical scare when I left him with Anna - and I was super nervous about leaving him. Anna was sensitive, kind and an overall pro. She sent me many updates, videos and photos and reassured me many times that he was doing just fine so I wouldn’t worry and could enjoy my evening out. I got the sense True adored Anna and felt very comfortable with her - he came back a very happy camper, which made me a very happy human, senior camper as well. :) Would recommend her to anyone, especially those feeling hesitant to separate from their dogs for any reason. Also, she has an amazing and safe set up for dogs at her place. Thank you so much for your extra sensitivity and care, Anna!
Laura was absolutely wonderful with Misho! She took such amazing care of him and treated him with so much love, patience, and attention. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care. She kept me updated, was very kind and flexible, and even extended his care when we needed extra time. I truly appreciate how much effort she put into making sure Misho was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and responsible to look after their pet. We will definitely be happy to have Misho stay with her again.
10/10 experience with Sara (Steve, Ollie and Lola, too!) Over multiple visits, we have grown increasingly thankful that we found Sara to take our Nori girl in while we are away. Not only is her home safe, welcoming and accommodating, I have never seen our dog open up so quickly to new sitters, which speaks to how comfortable they make her feel. Sara is easy to communicate with and she gives fun updates about walks, playtime and goings on with the dogs. Highly recommend considering her and her family to help your pet feel at home!
Great experience with Johannah sitting Stella. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. Stella seemed happy and relaxed with her as she got her daily very long walks by the river. Would definitely book her again and recommend her to other dog owners.
Huge thanks to Malaika and her partner! They accepted my last minute booking request for an overnight boarding and from the moment we had a phone conversation to get to know each other first I felt comfortable already. Drop off was smooth and Kaos was already excited and comfortable as well to be with them before I even drove off. She sent many pictures and updates with great communication which I greatly appreciate that. Kaos is very reactive to other dogs but Malaika was very understanding of that and adjusted to the nature of Kaos' walks. Pick up was also very smooth. My baby looked so happy and was pooped on the car ride home. Thank you so much again and we looking forward to booking with them again, highly recommended!
Sonia Sonia took wonderful care of Dana for two nights with so much love, patience, and kindness. She kept me updated the entire time, which gave me complete peace of mind. It’s clear that she truly loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. I’m incredibly grateful for all the care and affection she gave Dana. I would trust her with Dana again without hesitation. I wholeheartedly recommend her!
It was my first time leaving Maggie with a sitter, so I was quite nervous. Right from our first meeting, Nicole put Maggie and me at ease. I could not be more pleased with how the week went for Maggie. Nicole sent me updates with pictures every day, letting me know how Maggie was doing. Maggie fit in perfectly with Nicole and her cockapoo, Gracie 💕. We will definitely be using Nicole again when we go away!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Etobicoke 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 Etobicoke
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. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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.
