“I knew the first time I met Linda and Bob they would take wonderful care of Charlie. Lovely people that communicate well and genuinely enjoy taking care of your dog.”
“Our doggy had an absolute blast. We were sent photos regularly and you can tell they have a lot of dog experience. We felt very comfortable leaving our Doberman with them, all his needs were met. It was a pleasure meeting Brigit and Rob, our doggy can’t wait to see you both again very soon.”
“Holly and family made my anxious dog feel comfortable, happy, and at ease during her 4-day stay. I received updates and photos as requested and know that my dog was in very good hands and was well taken care of while I was away. Thank you Holly!”
“Ricci is the only person we will leave Westley with when we go out of town. She loves him like her own and always sends lots of great pictures and videos. She is incredibly kind and he adores staying with her! Thank you again Ricci ❤️”
“Indy was well looked after at Kristiina’s home. She was in very good spirits when I picked her up. Kristiina adapted (enjoyed!) to her little quirks easing any stress that Indy might have had with her first stay. I will not hesitate to leave Indy in her care in the future.”
“They took such good care of Cloud and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and photos. He looked happy and comfortable, and I’m so grateful for the care they provided. Would definitely book again!”
“Our dog Gus had a wonderful stay with Madison! Madison was great at communication throughout the entire booking process, answering any questions that I had. Upon meeting her and her dog Finley, we could tell that she is a warm and caring person who is great with dogs. Gus had a very fun time going on walks, spending time in her fenced yard, and playing with Finley during his stay. Madison sent lots of updates and pictures, and it was great to see what a fun time Gus was having! We will absolutely be booking with Madison again!”
“Sadie was great! She took great care of my dog, and was very loving, attentive, and responsible. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which made me feel comfortable. My dog was super happy and relaxed at her house! Highly recommend!”
“Stephan boarded my dog during our vacation and took utmost care towards her throughout our absence. He would send us constant pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend him.”
“Buddy spent another fun and relaxing vacation with Caitlin! We so appreciate how we can fully enjoy our time away knowing that Buddy is being well cared for and having so much fun! Thanks again Caitlin!”
“Dhanesha was just so rad with Tony! Not only did she keep me in the loop by sending lots of pictures, but she was also super engaging with Tony during his visit and he came back absolutely zonked. She paid attention to his specific needs and commands, and I could tell she showered him with love because he would have been happy to stay! Thank you for your great care :)”
“Melissa and her lovely family took great care of our Irish wolfhound Henry, not in the least phased by his 165-lb frame. Because he tends to be anxious if left alone in a new place, she even slept downstairs on his first night there. Her sweet dog Tulip also helped him feel more at ease. Henry soon relaxed, chilling in their dog bed (and cat bed--at the same time!) and snuggling on the couch. We look forward to leaving him with Melissa again.”
“We left our dog with Walelign for two weeks on very short notice because so our usual sitters were unavailable. It was clear from day one though that he is a big dog lover and that he will take great care of our pet. He is very communicative, he sent photos every day like we requested, and he wasn’t afraid to ask before introducing new food and treats. We could see on the pictures he sent us Korra was having a great time! We will definitely be leaving Korra with him again, and we wholeheartedly recommend Walelign to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Ana was wonderful. It was the first time we left our Korra with someone outside the family. Korra immediately took a liking to Ana (during the introductory walk). Ana was very easy to coordinate with and she sent photos and messages every day. Korra was well taken care of and clearly very happy. She also made friends with Ana's cat Ellie. We won't hesitate to ask Ana to dog sit next time.”
“Charlie took amazing care of our girl and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Woody was well looked after, happy, and clearly comfortable the entire time. Charlie was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Charlie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
About: I’ve been caring for our family pets and my own pets my entire life. I’ve provided a home for both cats and dogs with a variety of different personalities and needs. I’ve been trusted with walking, feeding and watching my family and friends fur babies on many occasions. My goal is that every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I’m currently a student. I’m available between classes for potty breaks, walks, or some play time. I am also available after classes, time will vary based on my schedule, and weekends. I have two lovely cats in my apartment, one of which will be your pets best friend, and the other prefers to keep to herself. I will do my best to ensure your pet sticks to their regular routine, whether it’s in my home or yours.
“I had a positive experience with Kirti, from the time I enquired about her watching my dog until I picked her up. She was very responsive, polite, and easy to talk to. We needed someone to watch our dog last minute and I was pleased when Kirti responded right away. Throughout our dogs stay at her house she updated us with pictures. Our dog is old and has some medical conditions and Kirti made sure that she administered all of her medications and asked for clarification to make sure she was providing them at the correct time. Overall, Kirti was a pleasure to work with and I would hire her again in the future.”

We couldn't ask for a better sitter than Sadie. She sends plenty of photos and updates, and it's obvious how much she cares about Tucker. She treats him like family, and he absolutely loves being with her. In fact, when we arrive, he runs straight into her house and barely looks back at us! We always know he's in great hands.
Dan was absolutely wonderful with Frodo. I’m almost reluctant to leave such a good review because I’d quite like to keep him a secret! He was incredibly caring, reliable, and attentive, and I felt completely at ease knowing Frodo was in such good hands. He took the time to understand Frodo’s routine and all his little quirks, kept me updated, and made sure he was happy and comfortable. Frodo came home relaxed and happy, which says it all. I would trust Dan with him again without hesitation. An absolute gem of a sitter (although I may regret letting everyone else know). 😄
Melissa and her lovely family took great care of our Irish wolfhound Henry, not in the least phased by his 165-lb frame. Because he tends to be anxious if left alone in a new place, she even slept downstairs on his first night there. Her sweet dog Tulip also helped him feel more at ease. Henry soon relaxed, chilling in their dog bed (and cat bed--at the same time!) and snuggling on the couch. We look forward to leaving him with Melissa again.
This was my first experience with Rover. I was nervous about leaving my girl Minnie overnight for the first time. Lisa put my mind at ease quickly, and Minnie was so well cared for. I got frequent updates and photos and she looked very happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Lisa—an attentive caregiver and kind person as well! Will definitely use her again!
Krista and Jacob took very good care of Penny for the two weeks I was away. They kept me informed every few days with photos, videos and updates on how Penny was doing. I fully appreciated their commitment to keeping me informed. I would highly recommend them to others.
Thanks so much for providing Seamus with such a friendly, safe 'home away from home' environment. We appreciated the time you took asking questions to better understand his personality traits and schedule, and the photos you provided of his activities. He enjoyed his many walks and looks forward to visiting again!
Kate was great!! We agreed to a meet and greet so Kate could meet Tucker before we made any final decisions on boarding ( so luck would have it, in the rain 😀 ) Drop off was quick and easy, and within a short period of time we were receiving pictures and updates of how things were going. Kate was very communicative and was constantly giving us updates on how Tucker was doing. This definitely put my mind at ease as this was the first time in 7 years that we needed to leave our fur baby with someone other than immediate family. Tucker got to enjoy lots of long walks, play time and of course lots of snuggles. We would be more than happy to hire Kate again to watch Tucker ❤️
We left our dog with Owen for the weekend and they seemed to really enjoy the time theh had with our dog. He was very attentive to her needs and took real good care of her. Blue heelers have a lot of energy, but Owen seemed to match her. If ever we're passing through Kingston again we would feel good leaving her with Owen.
We had the most incredible experience with Catharine. Our family had booked a vacation months ago and arranged dog boarding back in January for our pup, Clover. Just a few days before we were supposed to fly out of the country, our original boarder suddenly cancelled due to an unexpected personal situation. With our luggage packed and our departure coming up fast, we were in full panic mode trying to figure out who could take care of him last-minute (for 11 nights!). We started messaging every boarder in Kingston, and everyone was either booked, unavailable, or didn’t respond. Catharine was the only person who got back to us with a 'yes' right away. We had never met her before, so we were understandably anxious. She offered to meet us the very next day, just a few hours before she was scheduled to catch a train to Toronto. From the moment we met her, she was warm, friendly, and instantly put us at ease. While we were away with the kids, she sent us daily photos, videos, and updates. Those updates meant the world to us. Clover bonded with her so quickly, and it was clear he was having a wonderful time. She even went out of her way to give him fruit and veggie treats like strawberries and cucumbers, took him on lots of walks, let him sunbathe outside, practiced the tricks our kids taught him, and gave him all the cuddles he could ever want. Catharine turned one of the most stressful moments of our dog‑ownership lives into something genuinely positive. Clover was loved, cared for, and happy the entire time. We are so grateful for her kindness and the way she stepped in when we needed help the most. We would give her 6 stars if we could! Thank you, Catharine!
Peter has been very easy to work with and conscientious about updating me on our dogs activities including photos every day. Our Dexter loved being with him and his Golden retriever Sia who he played with. It was like sending Dexter to camp. Would not hesitate to recommend Peter.
Caitlin is a natural with animals and really cares. She was wonderful for me and my dog Harry. Used her for overnight boarding but I was really nervous as Harry was going to an unknown sitter. We had a great meet and Harry had a great time. He is fast asleep now after a busy 24hrs of walking, playing fetch in the back garden, dog Park visits and a waterfront walk today! I will be using her again. Great communication, always answering my random Harry questions and always sending reassuring pictures of his activities. Thank you so much. Of note I was concerned about her living in an apartment but, there was no need she has a long garden with direct access from her door - First time Rover user in Canada from a Verified dog mum.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kingston 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 Kingston
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. 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 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.
