“Liefe, Eliza and Kiran were great and I had no issues. Basil stayed with them for two weeks and I felt she would have gotten lots of love and attention. They responded in a timely manner when we were scheduling dropping her off and picking her up and let me know when there were issues. I would book with them again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my dog for over fourteen years so I have experience from training to older dog needs (my guy gets eye drops four times a day). I’ve dog sat dogs ranging in size from 6lbs to 90lbs and am comfortable walking a large dog along with my dog. I’m available for dog walking anytime after 4:30 on weekdays and anytime on weekends as I work a full time Monday to Friday office job. For dog boarding I can take dogs Friday through Monday but am in office during the week so can only take dogs Tuesday to Thursday that are comfortable being home alone for four hours (I walk home at lunch to take them out) I have a one bedroom apartment and a friendly senior dog. I’ll walk the dogs together for most walks but will walk your dog longer if they need a little more exercise as my old guy taps out around half an hour these days.
About: Walking dogs was my main part-time job all through elementary and highschool. Now I have a dog of my own so it has once again become part of my daily routine. Sunny and I are always looking for new friends so would be excited to meet your pup! I am a young professional working remotely in the environmental field. I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule to work in some pet care! I am an active person keen to get outside with your pet! I am responsive to pets needs whether that means a trip to the bathroom or a game of tug-of-war.
About: I have always loved animals since I was a child! I worked as a volunteer dog care attendant with the SPCA for 9 years, and am certified in pet first aid. I also have a background in dog training and have dabbled in various dog sports over the years. Currently I share my home with my pit bull Atlas who LOVES all other dog friends, and my senior cat Kallie. I work from home so I'm able to be with your pet 24/7 during their stay with me! This way they don't need to be alone while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard and a very social pitbull who loves to make new friends and play. I can also offer daily walks while your pup is in my care if desired!
“Ruck was an amazing sitter for my dog Bailey while I was travelling for a week. His dog Blue and Bailey were great buddies and he was beyond accomodating with my last minute request for a sitter after my plans fell through with another sitter. He sent updates throughout my trip and when I got back late from the airport to a dead car battery he was able to bring Bailey home to me that night! I would highly recommend him to anyone and I hope to be able to leave Bailey in his capable hands the next time I’m travelling 🙂”
About: We have a 13 lbs Shih Tzu who gets along great with most dogs. He is well loved and we would treat your dog the same. I work 8-3 but am off during the summer/ weekdays and holidays. Your dog would have lots of outdoor time and would be well cared for. My dog isn’t crated most days but is able to be. I would prefer to crate both dogs until the 2 became use to each other.
About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs and cats and have developed a strong understanding of their behavior, body language, and individual needs. My experience ranges from day‑to‑day care to basic training, socialization, and creating safe, positive environments for pets of all temperaments. I am also the owner of a one‑year‑old Doodle named Lexie, whom I personally trained. She is a friendly, well‑socialized dog who loves meeting new companions and will be a wonderful playmate for your pet. Together, we strive to make every animal feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. I currently work M-F during the day but I can offer my services in the evenings and weekends. I'm very flexible and can work with you as long as my work schedule doesn't interfere. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet in my home or my client’s home. I believe in treating all animals with kindness, patience, and respect, and I make their comfort and well‑being my top priority. My home features a fully fenced, grassy yard where pets can safely explore, play, and enjoy outdoor time. Whether your pet prefers energetic play or quiet sniffing breaks, I ensure they are supervised at all times. I also have experience with positive‑reinforcement training, including helping dogs learn not to pull on walks. I truly enjoy walking dogs and would be happy to provide your pet with safe, structured, and enjoyable outings tailored to their pace and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always come first while they are in my care.
“Sarah was great with Beckham, was patient with him and put up with his quirks as a senior dog learning to adjust to his senior-ness. She also provided updates of him during his stay. Thanks for taking such good care of him, Sarah!”
About: I've been walking dogs and sitting for cats for years now, so I've seen it all: the zoomies, the guilt-trip stares, the dramatic sighs when dinner is two minutes late. Dogs get walks matched to their vibe (chill stroll or full sprint, your call). Cats get the respect they clearly believe they're owed, plus their exact routine so nobody starts plotting revenge. Meds, anxiety, quirky habits — I've handled it all and I'm not easily rattled. Basically: your pet gets a sitter who actually knows what they're doing, and probably likes your animal more than most humans. Let's meet! I currently work 730-5pm schedule,Monday through Thursday. I can be free most evening and weekends to help you with your fur baby. I do drive and can take them to parks and swim spots. I offer in the clients home sitting for dogs but can take the kitties to my house :) but I can walk with pups anytime.
“It was our first time using Rover. Meaghan and family were amazing dog sitters and welcomed our golden retriever into their home with open arms. Our girl loved hanging out with their dogs and cat, was taken on many walks, and rides for treats. She had a blast! Communication was excellent with photos throughout the boarding. Thank you, Meaghan! 🐕 ☺️”
“Amanda and her family were amazing, Genevieve was so happy to stay there and so well cared for during her stay. We recommend Amanda to anyone looking for the best care for their fur babies.”
“Rebecca took great care of Nash during his stay and was very flexible and accommodating for some of his extra needs following dental surgery. It is clear that Nash got lots of exercise and was well loved during his stay. We would highly recommend Rebecca and her family :)”
“Victoria boarded our Skipper for a week plus. Victoria, her family, and two dogs provided an environment that allowed Skipper to quickly fit in and settle. They always included Skipper in all activities, inside and out. Victoria is a super communicator and always kept us connected with Skipper and all goings on. We highly recommend Victoria and would not hesitate to leave our Skipper with her again!”
About: Lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my Australian Shepherd, Pepper 🐾 My home is calm, cozy, and very dog-friendly. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day—no long hours alone. I’m experienced with daily routines, walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for puppies (with all the patience and consistency they need!) as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler, more relaxed approach. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers to cuddle and relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I work from home most days, which allows me to give pets lots of attention and keep a consistent routine. I’m home Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and weekends, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day. On Wednesdays, I’m in the office, but I’m located very close to home and can easily come back for check-ins, walks, and care as needed. Overall, I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and never left alone for long. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment on the main floor, which means quick and easy access to the outdoors for bathroom breaks and walks—no long waits or elevators needed. We’re also located near great off-leash parks and walking areas, perfect for getting in lots of exercise and fresh air (always based on your comfort level and your dog’s needs). Inside, my home is clean, calm, and set up to be a safe, cozy environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive, responsible, and always mindful of each dog’s routine, safety, and well-being.
“A++. I’ve stopped keeping track of how many times I’ve booked with Jessica and how many 5 star glowing reviews I’ve left. If she’s available, Jerry goes with her 100%.”
“Deanna was an excellent sitter! She made sure Morty got lots of exercise and did activities with him. She was very easy to communicate with, and sent regular updates and photos. Deanna’s dog, Stella, was also very sweet and playful - Morty and her got along great and it was nice he had a playmate for his stay. We will be booking with Deanna again!”
“Greer was absolutely amazing with our dog, Beau! She looked after him while we were away for a wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was clear from the updates and photos that Beau had the best time—he was so happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Knowing he was in such great hands let us fully enjoy our weekend away. We would absolutely trust Greer with Beau again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Greer!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with taking care of Winnie! She sent several updates throughout the day. Winnie had a great time. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my dog! Will definitely book with Jennifer in the future :)”

Stephen was fantastic with my kitten! He kept me updated with pictures on how she was doing and even accommodated an extra day with her. He also let me go with a couple treats she really liked! If you choose Stephen your cat will be kept safe with someone who clearly knows what hes doing! I will definitely be using him again! Thank you Stephen!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We left Chikoo with them for a few days while we were in Toronto, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. ❤️🐶 Chikoo came back happy, relaxed, and exactly like himself—we didn’t notice any changes in his behavior, which told us he truly felt at home. 🏡 They took great care of him and followed all the instructions we gave. They were incredibly cooperative, kind, and treated Chikoo like he was part of their own family. 🥰 We ended up extending his stay by a couple more days, and they were more than happy to keep him. They even went above and beyond by going to the store to buy his pee pads and food when they ran out. 🙏🛍️ We’re so grateful for the love and care they gave Chikoo. ❤️ I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter for their furry family member! 🐾
I can’t recommend her enough! She took my cat in with only 24 hours’ notice, which was an absolute lifesaver. The entire process was easy from start to finish she was friendly, responsive, and wonderful to deal with. Most importantly, I had complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my cat was well cared for, and I never had to worry. Knowing my cat was in such good hands made all the difference. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Briagh was amazing right from the initial booking process to picking up the dogs. She was responsive and put our minds at ease when leaving our dogs with a sitter from rover for the first time. We were able to meet up for a quick meet and greet ahead of time so they would be ready for their first overnight away from us. Our dogs definitely were well taken care of and we got updates throughout the night with photos. We would highly recommend staying with Briagh and will use her again in the future!

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 pet, 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
