“This was our first experience using a Rover pet sitter and it was a 5 star, excellent experience. Jennifer and her family were friendly, warm, and obviously excited to welcome our young cockapoo Ace to their home and family for the week. We immediately felt comfortable with leaving Ace with them. Their dog and ours got along well and it was nice knowing our dog had a playmate for the week! Throughout our time away, Jennifer communicated every few days about how things were going and even sent pics/videos. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer’s services!”

As always, they are so considerate of Mango, ensuring his stay positive by keeping him busy and relaxed, and it clearly looks like he feels comfortable and at home.

Thank you again for all the pictures, videos, and updates, as I can always see real time Mango is safe and happy.”

We will be using Rie and Masahiro again when we need dog sitting!”
“Deb and Eric are incredibly welcoming, flexible and friendly! We quickly received updates, and our dog felt right at home from the moment we dropped them off.

Our dog immediately felt at ease in their care, and we received regular updates and photos showing the fun adventures they shared together. We returned home to a happy and well-cared-for pup, and couldn't have asked for a better experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive dog sitter."”

“Freddo had a wonderful stay, and we’re really grateful for the care and attention you gave him. Thank you for being so patient with his picky eating habits and making sure he was comfortable with his meals. We also really appreciated the extra walks, playtime, and giving him access around the house so he could feel at home. The regular updates and photos gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and it was clear he was happy and well looked after. He came back relaxed and in great spirits, which says everything. We’d absolutely be happy to have Freddo stay with you again. Thank you again for treating him like family”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hamilton
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!
Julia was amazing with my dog Ivy! Ivy is a Miniature Pinscher who ran be rambunctious at times and likes to be vocal but Julia handled her very well! She kept me well updated, with lots of photos, walks and playtime. She also made sure that all of Ivy's needs were met. It was my first time using Rover and was nervous with anyone watching Ivy but I fully trust Julia! I would rebook again, and I recommend her as an amazing sitter to watch your pet!
Shelly and her family were absolutely wonderful with Phoebe! We were able to enjoy our holiday completely stress-free, knowing she was in such safe and loving hands. They treated Phoebe like one of their own, and it was so clear how well cared for she was. We would absolutely trust them with her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
Veronica took amazing care of my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. I would trust her again without a second thought. Oreo is a very energetic puppy, and she did an excellent job handling him. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him, and he had a great time. Highly recommend!
Alfonso was great with Stanley. This was his second time looking after Stanley who is a handful at times. He was great with communication, and pictures. He also advised he was eating his food great as we had to get a different one to due stock issues so we knew he was eating normal. He was great in communicating at the end of the stay how it went, and advised Stanley had a few instances where he was over protective with his toys, so we was aware ourselves. Stanley is looking forward to his next stay.
Shadi did an amazing job caring for our senior chihuahua mix. Our dog is on two medications a day and can be a bit finicky and slow to warm up to new people. She warmed up to Shadi within a couple days and clearly trusted her. Shadi provided regular updates with photos and asked us questions if anything came up. We would 100% book her again!
Yijing boarded our dog, Ella, for 2.5 days, including pick up and drop off. She was prompt, communicative, and understanding of complications. She sent regular updates with pictures and sometimes video, and it was clear that Ella was having a great time! Would definitely use again.
Rocky couldn't have been in better hands! It was Rocky's first stay with Whitney, and they became friends almost instantly - a sure sign she has a natural way with dogs. She walked him every day, had fun at the park, and kept us updated throughout so we always knew how he was doing. That peace of mind meant everything. It's clear Whitney genuinely loves the animals in her care. Rocky came home happy, and we couldn't recommend her more to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter for their fur family!

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:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
