“Andrea was great! I was traveling abroad and Andrea kept me updated on how my dogs were doing during their stay. She took very good care of them and I would definitely use her services again. Thank you!”
“Candy spent 3 nights with Dawn and her family. This was her very first stay over since we moved to Victoria and due to her very strict diet and her health issues, I am always considered to leave her alone without me. But Dawn took amazing care of her! She always checked in and sent infos how Candy was doing. It was such a great feeling that I could relax and not worry about how she was because I knew she gets everything that she needs; love, attention, great care. Thank you Dawn again!”
“We had a great experience boarding with Criofan, she is kind, caring, and wonderful with animals. Her home and beautiful fenced property are set up thoughtfully to provide a fun and safe environment with lots of fresh air and exercise. We really appreciated the great communication and photo updates. Our dog was well cared for and made some new best friends. Thanks again!”
“Guinness really enjoyed his stay with Kevin and Kayla. He was comfortable with them from the first meet and greet, which made me feel confident in choosing them to care for him while I was away. Communication was great and made my booking super easy. I’ll definitely book again!”
“Suzanne took such wonderful care of our dog, Morphy, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is incredibly kind, responsible, and clearly loves animals. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable and confident leaving Morphy in her care. Morphy was happy, relaxed, and very well cared for during his stay. Suzanne kept us updated and made sure he received lots of attention, care, and affection.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”
“Audrey was absolutely amazing!!! She did a meet and greet at a park before booking, which I super appreciated, and then was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay!!! I’m an anxious dog parent so having her look after Roxy and treat her as her own was perfect. I absolutely would book her again!!!!!”
About: Both my partner and I grew up with rescue dogs of all sizes, ages, and breads and had our own senior husky up until the end of 2025. We both have years of experience with both reactive and non-reactive dogs. The breads we have the most experience with are huskies, boarder collies, labs, doodles, and Great Pyrenees but are comfortable with any and all doggies. My partner works fully remotely so is at home all day during the week. I myself work 5 hour days 4 days a week. So any pets will very very rarely be left unattended. We are both very active individuals with routine gym sessions, outdoor walks, and runs as we are so close Thetis Lake. Our home has a fully fenced in yard with some room to play. Our yard is additionally fully surrounded by a large hedge that offers good privacy. We also have room for any crates if needed for you pup. As mentioned previously, it is rare that your dog will be left alone during the day so frequent bathroom breaks are available.
About: I have taken care of many friends/family dogs and cats in my recent life. I raised my own dog from puppyhood into senior years for more than 15 years. I’m comfortable with positive reinforcement and training, and offer a safe and loving home environment. There are many neighbourhood and trail walks close by and my fenced yard allows for outdoor activity and hang outs also! I’m a teacher on call and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I work from home when I’m not in at school and at this time I am between contracts. There are many fun and safe walks close by as well as a closed off-leash dog park near our house. I have a fenced yard and no pets currently living with me (except a small fish!) My two older children are animal lovers and are used to having a large dog in the house. I am happy to support crate training.
“Kim and her family took such amazing care of Parker while we were away for a couple of days. From the moment he arrived, they treated him like one of their own. He was included in family activities, enjoyed lots of walks, attended the kids' soccer games, and was showered with attention, treats, and plenty of belly rubs. It was clear from the photos and updates Kim sent that Parker was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was being so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the love and kindness shown to Parker and would highly recommend Kim and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming home for their furry family member. Parker can't wait for his next visit!”
“Every time I leave Tosca with Chinel and Christian I wonder if she’ll want to come back home! 🤭 They treat her so well and care so much for her! We’re lucky to have them! ❤️”
“Dwight watched my boxer Guinness and my sister's toy poodle. He is excellent with both: a big dog and a small one. Our boxer had long walks and he loved chilling in the backyard. Both dogs got royal treatment :). I highly recommend Dwight. Both him and his wife are very welcoming and I had zero reservations leaving our dogs with them. Do not even hesitate booking him!”
“Daisy and her family are true treasures. They have a lovely home with a fenced yard, Toby the Sheltie adored his time with them and came home a happy pup. Communication with Daisy was excellent and we appreciated the photos sent during his stay in their home. A 5 star pet sitter.”
“Michele was easy to plan a visit with before our weekend away, so my dog was more comfortable upon drop off. She shared photos, my dog looked very relaxed during her visit. (It was her first time being dog sat out of our home)”
“This is the second time we’ve trusted Michaela and Ben to care for Bella, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful care they provide when we travel. They give us complete peace of mind while we’re away and always keep us updated with photos. We highly recommend Michaela and Ben and will definitely use them again!”
“Auggie was on vacation staying with Megan! Everyday she sent me pictures of him smiling ear to ear while doing his favourite things like off-leash walks, swimming, playing tug and keeping an eye on things from the front porch. Auggie is selective with other dogs (aren’t we all?) and Megan was so understanding, she took things nice and slow while introducing him to the other pups on the property. It went so well that I got a picture on the last day of Auggie and another pup having a swim together! It goes to show how comfortable and at ease Auggie was in Megan’s presence. Thank you so much Megan! Auggie hopes to see you again soon :)”
“Rizzo had a great time with Emerald! Communication the entire time was super easy and she sent great updates and pics of my girl 😊 I felt really comfortable leaving my pup with her and she came back tired and happy from some big walks! I would definitely book Emerald again if I am in the area! This was my first time using Rover to have Rizzo stay overnight and it was a really great experience. Thanks again Emerald!!”
“Jena is the best! She was communicative, easy going, and took great care of our Phelps! She even made time to meet with us and Phelps before to make sure it was a good fit. Her pups were great companions for our boy and her lifestyle is conducive to filling his days with action and fun! Would definitely book with Jena again. Thanks Jena!”
“After months of stressing and trying to find the perfect sitter for our 12 yr old baby boy, we found Amanda 5 days before our 12 day vacation. The minute Sam stepped into her home, he was ready to stay with her. It was the perfect meet and greet. I got updates everyday and Sammy was smiling in every picture. Amanda treated Sammy like family, making our vacation so care free. We are so happy to have found Amanda, her sweet son and lil pup. Sammy came home a very happy boy. Thank you, Amanda. We adore you and are excited to leave Sammy in your care again.”

Karly and Brent were absolutely amazing. They took care of my little furbaby like he was their own. Took him on adventures, gave him lots of cuddles, and sent me photos and updates while I was away. I couldn’t be more grateful ☺️ I will absolutely book them again!!
So thankful for the great care my dog received while staying with Helin, Seung and family while we were away for a week. I received so many smiling, happy pics of Bailey on walks, socializing with other dogs, and cuddling at home. He seemed so comfortable and fit right into their daily routine. When our flight was unexpectedly cancelled, they were so kind to have him an additional night which was such a relief. I will definitely keep this lovely family in mind for future care of our dog.
We are so glad that we found Stine and Walt. We were apprehensive about leaving our puppygirl to go on vacation, but Stine's daily photos and updates, (including details of her health, behavior and adventures) really eased our minds. Stine and Walt were definitely the best choice for the care of our dog, Ayla. She's a 1 yr.old Boxer puppy, who is very high-energy, a bit spoiled, still learning her manners and can be quite a handful. They provided excellent care for all of her needs, including special medical needs, regular mealtimes, stimulating playtimes, lots if exercise-walks and adventures with their two dogs, as well as lots of snuggles & belly-rubs. We are also grateful for a noticeable improvement in her social and leash manners. We highly recommend Stine and Walt, and hope to see them again!
We are very happy with Lyndsey’s care. Our dog hadn’t been separated from us before and was anxious about being alone with someone else that he didn’t know. We worked out a good transition strategy with Lyndsey, that worked out well. Lyndsey put in the effort towards helping out with the transition in making sure our dog felt comfortable. Lyndsey has earned our trust and appreciation!
Jason was amazing with my dog! I wasn’t sure how my dog would do for the first time in a boarding situation when he’s shy and nervous. Jason took the time to come meet him in advance of the date for travel to make him comfortable and was very attentive to his feeding and care instructions. While I was away he sent me photos every day to show me how Patron was doing. I couldn’t be happier with his service and would 100% book him again!
Kirsten was the perfect person to watch our 10 year old Pomeranian Finn! Kirsten had no issues giving Finn his medications during his stay. She was very caring and attentive to all of his needs. She provided lots of updates and pictures during his care. Finn came home a happy dog, he had lots of fun and adventures with Kirsten. Finn stayed with Kirsten for 18 days, I felt at peace knowing he was in the best care. I would recommend Kirsten in a heartbeat!
Amelia, Thomas and Biscuit all have such lovely calm energy, as well as in their home. Dottie received wonderful care while in the care of them. I don’t think Dottie wanted to leave! Thank you for providing such a stress free boarding experience with lots of updates. ❤️
Kate was awesome. This was our first time leaving our nervous dog at a sitters home and Kate was so great and giving lots of detailed updates and any concerns she had she brought to our attention immediately. Nori seems to really love Kate and bonded with her well. We would book Kate again in a heartbeat.
Monica and her family are amazing ! She put so much love and care into watching Lehu. She sent us multiple updates a day and was quick to respond. Lehu got many walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park. This was the first time we used a sitter, so it was comforting to know we could trust our dog with Monica. I hope she is free next time we need a sitter 💛
Stephanie was amazing! She took such good care of our puppy Sasha. She communicated quickly and professionally. We ended up adding an extra day to the booking last minute and Stephanie was incredibly accommodating and helpful. Sasha was well cared for, provided her medication for ear infection, folled her post surgery requirements, took her for many walks, and spoiled her with love!

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 Highlands 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 Highlands
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.
