“I left my one year old puppy, who has never been away from me, with Eva for three days. I was quite worried because she usually gets anxious whenever I leave her with someone else. To my surprise, she settled in with Eva almost immediately, as if she had known her forever. Honestly, it almost hurt my feelings a little because she adjusted so well, but that just shows how amazing Eva is with dogs. I would absolutely recommend Eva to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pup. She also sent plenty of daily updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away.”
“Amazing and very kind and caring lady! She has looked after our dear dog several times! We are so happy to have found her! Very professional, keep us updated every single day with texts, photos and videos of our dog, and took our dog for several daily walks. She also cared for our dog by giving her meds and food exactly the way we needed it her to have them. Overall I will totally recommend Carmen! And we hope to continue having her look after dog in the future! Thank you so much Carmen!”
“I highly recommend Saksham for your pet sitting needs. Our dog stayed at his home for two days and I know she was well taken care of by Saksham and his wife. We received photos and videos from Saksham and he was highly professional and responsive. I totally trust Saksham and his wife and will call on them again for taking care of our dog. I know our dog will be happy to see them again!”
“Judy was an amazing sitter to my Cockapoo, Lucy!. She sent regular updates on Lucy’s progress, and her own dogs were sweet and friendly. Lucy returned happy! Will definitely use Judy again.”
“We were very fortunate to have Natalie look after our rambunctious 1 yr old Lab Beau for a week while we were on vacation. She was very patient with him as were her dogs Sawyer and Daphne. She kept us updated and assured us he was settling down - eventually ?. He returned home happy and tired - a sign of a great holiday!”
“Jessie took care of our pup Hank for a few days while we were away. Hank is only 7 months old, and this was his first time away from home. He truly enjoyed running around her backyard with her pups, Paisley and Elvis. Although unsure at first, he eventually warmed up to the kitties as well! Jessie was professional and communicative, ensuring Hank was comfortable and safe. The daily updates and photos gave us peace of mind. It's clear Jessie loves animals and is very experienced. We highly recommend her! Thank you, Jessie, for opening your home to Hank and being so patient with our little guy.”
“I felt comfortable leaving Bear with Priyanka. She provided me with lots of updates and photos. Bear and her dog, Link, got along very well and kept each other busy. Bear is very high energy and loves to be vocal sometimes so I appreciate that they were able to handle that and be okay with it. I fully trusted Bear and her care and was not worried. I would definitely board him again the next time it’s needed. Thanks so much for taking good care of Bear, really appreciate it!”
“Fantastic experience! Onyx was very well taken care of and loved his long walk at the park. Jayson was professional, super responsive on the app, and easy to coordinate with. We highly recommend him and will definitely book again!”
“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.”
“Shelley is an absolute queen. I could tell my pup was sad when he left :( She was always quick to respond, met with me before so she could ask me specific questions about my breed of dog and explain to me his routine so she could take the best care of him possible. You can tell animals have her heart and it’s her passion to take care of them. She even took the time to clip Archies nails and give him some ointment for his ear that was bugging him. Would recommend her to absolutely anyone. She is a treasure forsure ?”
“Our pup Beth had the best time with Shannon! Thank you Shannon for taking such good care of Beth and for sending us so many photos and updates! It was such a comfort to know Beth was in such good hands.”
About: With 10 years of pet-care experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have experience with puppies, including basic puppy training, routines, socialization, and reinforcing positive behaviours. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs, following special diets or routines, and administering medication when needed. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and very observant. I pay attention to changes in a dog’s appetite, energy, mood, and behaviour and always follow their family’s instructions carefully. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I treat every dog in my care like family. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of individual attention. 🐶❤️ I’m home throughout the day, so pets staying with me are never left alone. I’m able to give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day while following their usual routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home where pets can truly feel like part of the family. I have a two-level home with a fully fenced backyard and a finished basement. Pets are welcome to stay with me throughout the day and are allowed on our couches and in the family spaces. I’m home throughout the day, so pets are never left alone during their stay. We enjoy regular walks, playtime, and plenty of relaxation and cuddles. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, routine, medication instructions, and any special needs. For dogs staying in my home, I recommend bringing a favourite toy, blanket, or familiar item from home to help them feel comfortable and settled. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for as if they were part of our own family. 🐶❤️
“Andres is the best!! I was unable to walk my dog for a week so he was completely riled up when I left him with Andres for the day. Andres took him for at least 4 one hour walks and when he came home he was finally calmer, even the day afterwards as well. Andres is really saving me as an overwhelmed dog parent! Thank you!!”
“This was our first time boarding Stella, and I was nervous about leaving her. I needn't have worried! Deborah-Lynn was more than up to the task of dealing with our "firecracker"of a puppy! (That was Deborah-Lynn's perfect descriptor.) Stella had an absolute blast playing with the other dogs there. Deborah-Lynn made sure that they had LOTS of outdoor play time in her backyard, and she even convinced Stella to wear her booties in the frigid temperatures over the time of her stay. I also felt at ease leaving Stella in her care because of her knowledge and experience as a vet tech. Stella has many allergies and epilepsy, and Deborah-Lynn already knew how to handle both these conditions. I received tons of great photos of Stella while we were away as well as written updates and assurances that she was getting her medication on time. I would highly recommend Deborah-Lynn for anyone who needs a very attentive sitter who is up for the demands of a high energy dog!”
“Am so happy with the experience. If only Gretzky could talk then he would probably say the same. Valerie and family are very sweet and I will surely pass the good words about Valerie and Rover to family and friends. Thank you so much Valerie!”
“Eden and Jacob were amazing with our dog! They were caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Heidelberg
I dropped my 2 mini dachshunds off with her for a couple nights while we went camping. Our dogs felt at home immediately. She sent us update pictures of them tuckered out from the excitement throughout our trip. Next time we travel that direction, she would be our first choice. 5 stars :)
Debra and her husband were very accommodating on short notice and have a nice setup at their home. They’re very understanding about the various breeds of dogs. Our lab is highly energetic and they were very good with that. They were also flexible in terms of dropoff and pickup times. We’re looking forward to using their services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Heidelberg 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 Heidelberg
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
