“My dogs loved being at Cynthia's and David for 5 days! They ran outdoor leash free in their fully fenced acres. This is the longest we had ever left them and Cynthia send us pictures daily of the fun they were having. Thank you!!!”
“Hayley was really great with Piper, sending us photos and taking her for a long walk with her dog Penny! We felt really comfortable leaving her for the night while we attended a wedding! Would highly recommend Hayley!”
“This was our Dog's first time staying with a sitter, and we were honestly nervous about using Rover. We had tried other sitters for a fit, but she never connected with them. With our trip coming up, we found Shelly and her family at the very last minute and didn’t even have time for a meet‑and‑greet. What immediately drew us in was that they had young kids even more than having their own dogs because she absolutely loves children. We knew the transition would be hard for her, but Shelly and her family went above and beyond. They sent us daily updates, were incredibly patient, and gave her the space she needed. Over time, she warmed up and even started going on walks with them after 3days of not going on a walk, She quickly transitioned to 4 walks in a day. Shelly was reassuring throughout, reminding us that given her age, this adjustment was completely normal, and that by her third stay she’d likely be even more comfortable. I would recommend Shelly and her family over and over again.”
“Zixian and her partner took wonderful care of Hartwin during his overnight stay. She sent sweet updates and pictures, which we loved receiving. Hartwin and her pup Liuliu are officially besties now! We felt so comfortable leaving him in such loving hands and will 100% use her again for future dog-sitting and boarding services. Highly recommend! Thank you, Zixian! 😊”
“Yasemin and Daniel were wonderful caregivers to our pup! They sent us pictures and kept us updated on his day while we were away. They took care of him as if he was their own pet. We will definitely use their services again! Thank you!”
“Jennifer was amazing with Sonata! She was honest about what dog sitting with Sonata would look like and there were no surprises. She clearly had Sonata's best interest. Loved the updates and photos that she sent. Would definitely book with Jennifer again!”
“Priyanka took exceptional care of Casper, providing frequent updates and pictures. It was his first time staying with anyone else and we could see that he was happy and well cared for. I think he’s missing her now that he’s back home, lol. Already rebooked for our next trip. Thank you so much Priyanka!”
“Sandra was amazing with our dog! He takes a while to warm up in new situations, and he’s very high-energy and vocal, but she handled him so well and made all of us feel at ease. She kept us updated throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Thank you so much for watching our puppy Lulu. She had a great time with all the dogs, who tuckered her out. Bill is very responsive and provided photos during her stay so we knew how she was doing. He was very organized with dedicated indoor and outdoor space and with feeding schedules.”
“Rie and Masahiro were wonderful sitters for my dog, Laika (65lbs). She needed some extra love and attention, and they were incredibly accommodating. Their communication throughout was excellent, sending me regular updates and pictures, which really reassured me while I was away. Laika seemed so happy and well cared for during her stay with them. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters.”
“Jasko had an awesome time with Jacky, Rocio and Abby. We got lots of pics and updates from them. Would recommend them 100% and Jasko cannot wait for his next stay with these guys. Thank you for taking such good care of Jasko ?”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have chosen better than Ruth! Ruth is just such a calm, caring person who we know loved our dog like her own. Our dog loves walks and he received nice long ones every day with Ruth. I think our pup was a bit spoiled with Ruth which we truly appreciated. We will choose Ruth again when we need the service and hope she will be available!”
“Finding Svetlana and Artur was the best thing , Ace spent 4 nights with them and I never had any worries about his well being , he was cared for , they made him safe and happy so much so I don’t think he missed us much. I will forever be grateful to them and will 100 % use them again and recommend them to my friends and family. Their house and backyard is safe for all sizes of dogs , clean and pet friendly. Who ever books daycare or boarding with Svetlana and Artur will have no worry about well being of their dogs.”
“Amanda and her family took amazing care of Ripley while we were away! From the initial meet and greet to the boarding of Ripley, Amanda made the entire process smooth and a positive experience for Ripley and us.”
“Bruno stayed with Megan for a month, and I couldn’t recommend Megan enough. I was stressed about leaving him for a month, but Megan made the whole experience completely stress-free, and I never had to worry at all. They regularly sent me pictures and updates. Bruno also became best friends with their dog, Ella, who is so sweet hearted, which made his stay even better. Their family was lovely as well, and they treated him as part of the family. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I’m so glad to know Bruno has a second home. I will definitely book again if we go on another trip or if something comes up. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“Peter and his girls took such great care of our pup! We got lots of pictures and she seemed at home and relaxed! He even played a game of fetch with her! We will definitely leave our Maxi with Peter again!!”
“Ramona was great with Spike as always! I am so grateful to have Ramona for when I go away, I trust her so wholeheartedly with Spike now since she’s taken care of him so many times and knows him so well, and he truly adores her and feels right at home at her place. Thank you so much Ramona, Spike can’t wait to see you again in a couple weeks!”
“She was great; she took care of Bruce very well. He adapted to the other dogs really fast. She asked for all the instructions to take care of him and feed him on his schedule. I recommend Dr. Anna; she is really good. We are happy with her ; )”

Alisha was great. We had a previous sitter fall through, but Alisha was able to accommodate both of my dogs and was really great with keeping us in the loop over the days. My dogs can be a lot, but Alisha was up for the challenge and both my dogs came back happy. Thank you for taking care of my puppers
I was so impressed! When my small havanese dog and I arrived, we were welcomed into a calm, cozy home with Jennifer and her 2 lovely little girls. My dog happily met her 2 small friendly dogs and was wagging her tail, and joyfully jumped on the couch (which Jennifer didn't mind, I am happy to say). My dog is usually shy and velcrowed to my hip. To see my dog calm and happy was a gift....Jennifer is now my Go To Person for all our overnights and vacation from this day on. Thank you Jennifer!
Cheryl has been wonderful and accommodating to our dog. She did a lot to help us and our pup feel comfortable in a new environment and answered all of our questions before setting up an overnight stay. Cheryl is extremely professional and knowledgeable and we are so glad to have met her. Our dog is always happy to see her and to stay with her which makes drop offs a breeze.
We had such a wonderful dog boarding experience with Linda. From the beginning, she was prompt with her communication and made our anxious rescue dog feel right at home. We couldn’t have better things to say about Linda and we will definitely have our dog stay with her again. Thank you for everything Linda!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hamilton 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 Hamilton
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:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 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.
