“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!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Seema and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog, Max. From the moment we met, she was very friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Max was dropped off at 7:30 in the morning and picked up at 7:30 in the evening, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands throughout the day. Seema was extremely caring and loving toward Max. He had a great time playing fetch with her and was walked multiple times during the day. She made sure he was fed properly and well taken care of. Max also made a new friend, Yogi—an 11-month-old Golden Retriever—and they had an amazing time together, playing and running around in the backyard, even enjoying the snow. It was clear from the updates and interactions that Max was happy, comfortable, and well behaved in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and dedication Seema showed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Max and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“I think Raspberry had a wonderful time. She had all the love & attention a pup could desire. The frequent photos and updates were great. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks so much!”
“Amanda and Bryan are amazing! My boxer is a little timing, needing extra love and care and Amanda and her family were so great with him. They treated him like their own, so much so that he was so sad coming home. I would absolutely recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to board with them in the future!”
“Barbara took excellent care of Pepper with long walks, cuddles and time to be off leash in her backyard (which he loves but seldom gets as our yard isn’t fenced.) She sent us regular pictures, too. Barbara has a quiet, loving manner and I would highly recommend her as a caregiver for your fur baby. Thank you, Barbara.”
“Tamarind stayed with Manvi for one night and had a great experience. He was well cared for, fed well, and came home happy and healthy. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Manvi to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”

“You couldn’t ask for a more loving and warm person to entrust with your fur babies!! I was blown away at her kindness and the way she put the needs of my loved ones above her own. I couldn’t recommend anyone better than Liz 💜💜”
“Wendy was phenomenal. I needed a sitter for Jonas for a night since my usual contact was not available. We did a meet and greet and she showed me her house and introduced me to family including her dog Holly. During Jonas' stay Wendy kept me updated with lots of photos. I would definitely suggest her to anyone!”
“I just want to say how fantastic Lina was to my sweet pup Daisy. This was my first time using Rover and my first time using a boarder ever and Lina was so friendly, accommodating, and understanding. She let us come over for a meet and greet with her and her dog Harlem to make sure it was a good fit. Harlem and Daisy instantly got along and it made me feel so much better about boarding knowing she had a friend all weekend. While I was gone Lina sent pictures and even a short video of the dogs playing so I felt great knowing Daisy was having so much fun. I have already recommended Lina to friends at the dog park and look forward to booking with her in the future.”
“May and her family were so lovely to deal with and I could tell they took such good care of my little Lexi. Lexi seemed very happy there and took to May and her daughter Sophia right away. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

We absolutely loved having Maria watch our Loki! She took such wonderful care of him and showered him with love while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maria is truly a kind soul with such a calm and gentle disposition, which helped Loki warm up to her so quickly. We couldn’t have asked for someone better to care for our pup and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter!
We really researched Rover for another wonderful dog person ❤️ as our other moved away. I kept coming back to Jennifer and we went with her. We are so happy 😊 we did. Our Luna was very well cared for. We could see it in the pictures that she sent us every day and we were gone for 2 weeks. Jennifer always answered me promptly and kindly. We are going away again in a couple of months and Luna will be back with Jennifer and her gang. Thank you Jennifer 😊
We had a wonderful experience with Chelsea. From the very beginning she was caring,responsible and attentive to our dog's needs. She kept us updated and made us feel completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands.Our dog was happy,well cared for, and clearly enjoyed their time together. We truly appreciate the love and attention Chelsea gave our furry family member and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter Thank you Chelsea 😊 ❤️
Shelly has been a great communicator and really made us and our pup feel comfortable. This was our first time using Rover and sending Dilly to a sitter’s for any period of time so we were a bit nervous. But Shelly and her family made us feel confident that Dilly was in the best of hands. Happy to have found their care and grateful that they can look after Dilly again in the future!

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.

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
- 92% 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.
