“Anna was absolutely amazing. She sent so many updates on our fur baby's day to day with pictures and descriptions. From the moment we met her we could tell how much she cares for animals and her attention to details is remarkable and appreciated. We couldn't be happier and will definitely be back whenever we head somewhere we can't bring our furry girl.”
“Thank you to Linda and Bob for taking such good care of Chester for the week. Chester enjoys his time there and comes home happy, we really appreciate how they make him a part of their family.”
“Choco was very comfortable with holly. We are very happy to find her. She send me pictures and updated how he was doing. Also Holly was very accommodating as we were running a little late and She made sure Choco got his walks and his food. Very very pleased with her service and for sure she will always be our go to wherever we are visiting Kingston. Thanks Holly ???”
“We could not be more pleased with Brigit and Robert. We have absolute confidence that our dog is safe and happy in their care. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for dog boarding and will definitely be taking advantage of their hospitality in the future. Thanks guys!”
“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 ❤️”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dhanesha! She took excellent care of my dog, Rose, while I was away. From the daily updates with photos to the thoughtful attention to Rose's needs, everything was perfect. Dhanesha is reliable and trustworthy. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for pet. I highly recommend Dhanesha to anyone looking for top-notch pet care.”
“Was worried leaving Charlie alone with strangers for the first time but Brynn made him feel right at home. He received lots of cuddles and play time with the children. So happy with Brynn and her family that already ask if she would take him again when we go away next time. Highly recommend Brynn”
“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.”
“Robyn took amazing care of my big teddy bear newfie. She kept me updated throughout his stay and was very accommodating with a last minute scheduling change. I would definitely re-book again.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We love sending Ollie to stay with Pamesha and her husband. They are so accommodating and great at communicating (with daily photos). We arrived home later than planned due to weather and they helped by keeping Ollie for a few extra hours. He always returns happy and calm, which says a lot as he’s an anxious older dog. We can’t thank them enough!”
“Paige and Vanessa were punctual and organized when meeting Jose and Rosa. They kept me updated with pictures and the dogs´daily activities while I was away. When I picked the dogs up, I could tell that they were happy with Paige and Vanessa. I would definitely book them again.”
“Heather and family are amazing. I feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with Heather. Heather gives several updates ( photos and videos) through the day and the dogs have a fantastic time. They come home happy and tired. Thank you Heather.”
“Melissa was amazing! Not only was she transparent but you can tell she loves her guests like her own. Bowie and Yuki were well taken care of and most definitely enjoyed their stay. Will definitely book again with her if needed, thank you Melissa! ❤️”
“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.”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Ella looking after our dog. She sent regular updates throughout the day, which was really reassuring, and it was clear Ella was kind and loving. Our dog seemed happy and well cared for, and it looked like he had a great day. We’d definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Ella again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kingston
Anna & Aleksei are the best pet sitters you could ask for! Our puppy, Ernie, had an amazing week with them. They provided us with daily updates which gave us such peace of mind since we were so nervous to leave him with a sitter for the first time. They made sure he kept up with training, got lots of love and had so much fun. We wouldn’t want to leave Ernie with anyone else 😊
Krista and Jake took amazing care of my boy! He can be nervous and they were very patient and welcoming. They sent frequent updates and were very responsive. They did anything they could do help him feel comfortable. Because of that, I was also able to feel comfortable and relax while away from him. Overall awesome people! :)
Stephen, Holly, and their family were wonderful hosts for our puppy, Cedar! This was Cedar’s first overnight stay away from us, and we came home to a happy, healthy, and tired pup. We really appreciated the photo updates, prompt communication, reliability, and their willingness to care for a high energy 6.5 month old puppy. It gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again in the future!
We couldn't be any happier with Terra's stay with Brigit and Rob. We knew she was in good hands which made our trip that much better. Terra is an older dog with some issues that make it difficult leaving her with others. Definitely not with them and we will definitely look at leaving Terra with them 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.
Dhanesha and her partner were great hosts. She sent me constant updates and she didn't hesitate to take our dog who is 150lbs. He almost didn't want to come back :) They have also looked after my parents senior GR and he still looks out the window for her to come along!
Rose is an absolute delight! Arlo is a challenging puppy with some behavioural and health concerns. Rose arrived really knowledgeable and understanding. She bonded with Arlo right away. She’s clearly incredibly experienced, and has a lot of care and compassion for animals. I highly recommend rose!!!

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.
