“I would definitely recommend her! She took great care of my pup and kept me updated the entire time he was staying with her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Awesome stay, really helped us out! Very much appreciated the daily updates and pictures, it was really comforting to see our dog have fun while we were away.”
“Sure! Here’s a review in English: I had an excellent experience with Cindy and Marc! My dog seemed so happy and comfortable in her home, and I received frequent updates that gave me great peace of mind during my trip. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Wei-chien provided really good care to our pet -- I knew she was being treated well and felt cared for and that they were doing all they could to make her feel comfortable and to maintain safety. There was also great communication, very friendly and accommodating!”
“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!”
“Eva is a wonderful, caring person. She took very good care of our puppy Oscar. She kept us up to date with photos and messages. We would use her services again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend Eva.”
“Sabrina did a great job boarding our senior dog Holly. She was very attentive and kept me updated with pictures and texts. I would highly recommend Sabrina for any of your pet needs. Thanks again!”
“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!”
“Rocky had a great time with Madison and Jeffrey. It was his first boarding experience, and being a puppy, we weren’t sure how he would behave in a new environment. He was happy and relaxed and it looked like he could be their pet as well! Rocky is looking forward to his next stay with Madison and Jeffrey in 2 weeks!”
“Gail is amazing! My 2.5-year-old husky came back happy, well cared for, and completely tired out after his stay. It was clear that her entire family helped take care of him, not just Gail, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him there. She provided regular photo updates and communicated very well throughout the stay. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Sara and Rick were amazing dog sitters! They were very friendly, easy to communicate with, and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. I’d definitely trust them again!”
“Our dog Sunny has been going to Ashley's for day care for several months and recently boarded with her for a couple of nights. We couldn't be happier! Ashley is super reliable, accommodating, and very understanding of our anxious pup. She's a true dog whisperer! Thank you so much, Ashley! Your help has been a game changer for us and we so appreciate everything you do.”
“Edward and his family are awesome. They took really good care of Tako while we had to be away and Tako loves them. Couldn't be more happy to have found a 2nd home and family that Tako (and us) love!”
“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!!”
“Judy has been an amazing find for us. She has taken care of our giant slobbery bear with no qualms. She weathered his upset stomach with care and added additional time onto his stay last minute with open arms. We would absolutely trust Judy again with Otis in the future.”
“Left my dog Riley with Alysha. She was very kind and communicated often was texts and photos of my dog while I was away. She and her family provided loving care for my dog and I would definitely recommend her. I will use her again when I need someone to watch my dog!”

“Great settings for dog to be able to be dog. I love foe our dog that she can have lots of space to run around or sleep with other dogs. When picking up my dog she was happy which tell me she enjoy to be at Dale and Fiona. We already book our next stay.”
“Our dog Griffey had a wonderful week's stay with Janine. He got lots of outdoor play, walks every day, and a ton of attention, which he adores. I appreciated the daily updates and could tell that he was in good hands the whole time. We won't hesitate to leave our pup with Janine again.”
“Oreo was dancing and jumping happy when he heard we are going to leave him with Yaxnitza and her dog Lilly. He has a sweet comfortable second home now. Thanks Yaxnitza, you have been amazing as usual.”

Hi, Judy was great. Our dog Maddie is 14 years old and did struggle with anxiety separation when first left with Judy. This made Maddie physically sick but Judy persevered instead of asking us to return and pick-up Maddie. Since the reason Judy was looking after Maddie was so we could be at our daughters wedding it was crucial that we felt Maddie was being cared for properly. Judy went above and beyond provided updates and pictures so that we could enjoy this incredibly special day. The wedding was absolutely perfect and Judy played a very important role in making it so. Thanks so much, Luc
Zoey had an amazing stay with Jayson . He took her to Waterloo Park, Victoria Park and a park in Guelph. She stayed for Saturday and Sunday and already visited 3 parks🥰. He took care of all her routine on time as well. He went above and beyond and shared us photos of eating, her visit to park and eating.🥰 Zoey got all the attention with Jayson and also had amazing time with his dog Arnold. We are definitely rebooking him soon for Zoey’s stay. ⭐️
I am so impressed with the level of care that my Bella received, she was well taken care of and taken on walks and got to interact with other dogs. She sent me updates and video clips of Bella and that put me at ease . Bella is also walking better now, not pulling , I dont know how she did it, but she taught Bella to walk nice over her short visit. Amazing care giver, I will definitely be back again and againl.
Madison and Jeffrey are wonderful! Milo always seems so comfortable with them, and he always comes back home incredibly relaxed and happy. Milo has stayed with them a few times now, and we can say we trust Madison and Jeffrey 100%. Milo is a really sweet guy, but he has anxiety around other dogs and people, and we feel totally confident leaving him in their care. They take excellent care of him and keep us updated. Thanks so much!
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!
Behnaz is one of our favourite sitters and she just hosted our dog for two weeks. She took excellent care of her and ensured she got exercise tailored to her rehab program, had her medications and appropriate enrichment. She was very conscientious about details from the right amount for the weight loss diet our dog is (sadly!) on to monitoring her for other health concerns. We feel so much at ease when our dog is with Behnaz and would strongly recommend her. We even drove from out of town before a flight just to make sure our dog was in the beat hands for a long stay. Thank you for the love and care !
Dogs came back healthy and tired, it seems like the dogs had a great time. They asked great questions and had a pretty good intro routine set up at the dog intro which made us very confident leaving our dogs with them. Will definitely reach out about dog-sitting in the future!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kitchener 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 Kitchener
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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
