“Shelley was so caring with our pup! She gave him time and space to settle in to the new environment and other dogs, and kept us updated on his progress with messages and photos. We were able to relax knowing he was in very good care.”
“Arlene and Kevin provided a safe and loving environment for our elderly dog Scout over the Easter weekend. We were very nervous about leaving him but they sent us pictures and texts to let us know that he had settled and was quite comfortable. We highly recommend them to care for your pet.”
“Thank you for watching Pete! Always a great experience when leaving my dog Pete with Shannon. The constant updates were appreciated! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with him :)”
“Erin and Chad were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Aspen. They took such great care of her overnight, kept me updated with photos, and made sure she was comfortable even though she can be an anxious pup! Kind, dependable, and clearly dog lovers!! I couldn’t have asked for better sitters! Thank you both 🐕”
“Paige is so reliable and kind hearted. I can’t thank her enough for helping us out and going the extra mile to make things convenient for us when we needed it. Our pup pup feels so comfortable with her and we highly recommend her if you’re on the hunt for a great sitter!!”
“Wendy & Ian are always wonderful! I feel very relaxed when Max stays with them. And Max loves being there. Wendy really does go above and beyond and keeps in contact with updates everyday. Thank you so much.”
“Annette literally welcomed Shadow with open arms from the second they met and it just got better from there! Annette was so accommodating with Shadow and kept us informed with daily updates, which were so reassuring. We will definitely be using Annette again and would happily recommend her to anyone.”
“Samantha was really accommodating host and she and family took care of Cosmo well. Cosmo had absolutely bonded great with kids and pets including Lillie and had an excellent time.”
“I had a great experience! She took wonderful care of my dog, Aquene, over the weekend. Aquene had an amazing time playing with her two dogs and going out on trail walks during her stay. She kept me updated, and I felt comfortable knowing aquene was in such good hands. I would definitely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“We recently had our dog stay with Sachin and Deepti through Rover, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything was smooth and stress-free. They kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was comfortable and well cared for. Communication was always prompt and friendly—they were easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions. What really stood out was how flexible and accommodating they were with drop-off and pick-up times. They truly went above and beyond to make things convenient for us, which we really appreciated. Overall, this was a 100% positive experience. I would absolutely recommend Sachin and Deepti to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters on Rover. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Meatball had a great time again! We really love how easy going and willing he is to take meatball. We often get told he’s a lot of work. John always takes him with either a weeks notice or a days notice. He handles him so well and always says what a breeze meatball is. He is also good at working with him with meatball being aggressive to other animals, he keeps a close eye out for other animals when he takes him for his walks. We really do truly appreciate John!”
“Camila is a 5-star quality rated person. She gave daily updates with photos, video and messages gave us peace of mind knowing that our dog was well cared for. We couldn't be more grateful for her trustworthiness, reliability, and loving approach. Our pet received proper care, exercise, and love from the entire family.”
“Pei went absolutely above and beyond in caring for my dog, Louisa. Louisa is a nervous mastiff and can be quite particular, so finding someone I trust with her is no small thing, and Pei exceeded every expectation. From the start, Pei created such a calm and welcoming environment. Louisa was given the time and space she needed to settle in at her own pace, and it was clear she felt safe to gradually explore, enjoy the trails, and grow more comfortable each day. Pei kept me consistently updated, which gave me huge peace of mind. The updates were thorough, reassuring, and showed not just experience, but genuine care and affection for Louisa. What really stood out was the extra effort and attention to detail. Louisa is an extremely fussy eater, and Pei took the time to make thoughtful adjustments, adding toppings, adapting her meals, and ensuring she stayed well fed and happy. That kind of effort meant so much. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel incredibly relieved and grateful to have found such a wonderful “home away from home” for my sensitive girl.”
“Suzie is very comfortable with Melissa and enjoys going there. Melissa takes Suzie for a couple of walks daily. We have total confidence in Melissa looking after Suzie. I would highly recommend using Melissa.”
About: I have always been growing up with pets in my lifetime. I am experienced with dogs big and small. Cats of different breeds. I have experience with rabbits and chickens as well. I am currently retired and at home most of the time. We have a fenced large sized backyard that the dogs can play in safely. I have a fully fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. They are allowed to go in and out whenever they wanted. I do meet and greet to make sure dogs have good temperament that they can get along with each other. I am flexible in time schedule so I can always be at home to ensure dogs are safe and get along with each other. Breaking conflicts before they even started.
“Jean was great with our Great Pyrenees. She was very accommodating when our timing changed and very flexible when coordinating a meet and greet to ensure Quinn was comfortable. Jean and her family care very much for the pets in their care and are attentive to their behaviour. It was so nice to see them give Quinn a lot of love when it was time to come home. Would definitely recommend Jean!”

Jyll welcomed our 8 month old pup with loving arms. She was eager to get to know her routines and make sure she was comfortable. She updated us throughout the time, which was thoughtful reassurance as it was our pup’s first time away from us. We felt completely comfortable and at ease, knowing Jyll was taking exceptional care of her - and we will definitely be booking with Jyll again.
Shelley recently took care of our dog for the first time for a weekend. Without being asked, she regularly provided us with text updates & photos. Knowing our dog was managing fine in Shelley's care & seeing photos of him interacting with other dogs also in her care put our mind at ease as we were a bit nervous leaving our fur baby. This allowed us to focus on co-hosting our daughter's wedding without worrying throughout the weekend. Shelley's well qualified to care for animals & I would highly recommend her to anyone. My husband & I plan to use her services again & are happy to recommend her to others. Shelley's definitely a keeper!
Arlene and Kevin are amazing! We are so glad that we chose them to take care of our Kipper while we were away. They really went above and beyond providing daily updates, photos and even celebrating his birthday! Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to treat your pet like royalty.
We are overjoyed to have found Jess and will be trusting her with our dog from here on out! Jess is super friendly and communicative from the beginning. She kept us updated with messages and photos the entire stay. We enjoyed how confident she was in taking care of our high energy Doberman, which made it so much easier to leave her. Our dog genuinely seemed to be smiling with Jess. She provided lots of excersise and socialization with other dogs. Super happy with our experience.
Thank you, Shannon for taking care of our boy Jax! It was great to see photos of him, enjoying his stay with you, and we can tell he was very happy! Of course this makes us very happy while we are away, knowing that he is in good hands. Thank you again. We are extremely grateful for your service! Rod and Michelle.
My dogs adapted to Jennifer and her family extremely well. With regular walks, playtime, and lots of TLC the dogs were very happy including our one that has separation anxiety. I would not hesitate to book with Jennifer again unless you are worried the dogs won’t want to leave Jennifer’s house like I was.
Carly was absolutely amazing with our dog, Toby! From the start, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was caring, reliable, and treated him like family. We loved getting updates and could tell Toby was happy, relaxed, and well looked after the entire time. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with Carly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!! Toby had such a blast and is currently catching up on some sleep! Thank you, Carly!!
Kathryn and her daughters were amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog with her and she made us feel so comfortable with regular photos and updates. It looked like Murphy was in great care, had a blast and loved spending time with them and their dog! We will definitely be asking Kathryn to watch Murphy again!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Guelph 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 Guelph
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 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.
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:
- 78% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
