“Eva and her family are very nice and responsible. She checked all the details, took great care of our dog and kept us updated with messages / photos and videos. She did such an amazing job that I’m almost worried my dog might want to stay with her instead of coming home with me!”
“Carmen was so lovely to work with, and our cat loved her and her place! This was our first time boarding our cat in years, and as she's just started taking medication, but Carmen was able to not only handle our cat's medication needs, but also provide her with all the things that made her feel cozy (a cat bed, a cardboard box, beautiful windows, and toys!). Carmen will be our go-to cat sitter from now on, we feel so comfortable with her and the car she provided our kitty. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Cindy and Marc are absolutely incredible. I would have never left my dog for a week with anyone else. They are so kind, attentive, accommodating and a safe place for my pup. They send lots of updates and pictures to make sure I am comfortable and in the loop with what’s going on at all times. Thank you two so much for being so amazing!”
“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!”
“I can’t recommend Gail enough! We left our Rocky with her for a few days while we were busy with our wedding and he enjoyed his stay so much! He was very comfortable and the photos that we were sent everyday helped calm our nerves. You can tell that Gail really has a love and appreciation for dogs. We can’t thank her enough ❤️❤️”
“Milana did an excellent job caring for my dog. She was responsible, communicative, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. It was clear she truly cares about animals, and my dog felt comfortable and happy with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Millana again and highly recommend her services.”
“Yaxnitza was great with my puppy for the 8 days he was with her. She gave us regular updates on how he's doing. Her dog, Lily, was very friendly with my pup too. I would definitely leave him with her again.”
“Saksham and his wife took great care of Coco! He was happy and comfortable the whole time. They kept in touch with regular updates and photos, and followed all instructions perfectly. I’ll definitely contact them again in the future!”
“Meng is a lovely young women who took very good care of my little dog Ruby Tuesday. Ruby has a lot of trauma stemming from her past as a puppy mill breeder. She has settled nicely in my home but does not like change. Meng was able to connect with Ruby In ways that made her very comfortable away from her comfort zone in our home and to be with Meng in her home. Meng fed her on schedule, didn’t mind cutting up the vegetables that Ruby enjoys every day. Meng walked Ruby regularly. I am very pleased to,give Meng a 5 star rating.”
“We left our dog with Qi for 10 days and she is wonderful! Our dog is very attached to our family and can be anxious when staying away from us. Qi was very attentive, caring, and patient with her and provided us with many updates, pictures, and videos. She also made sure to give Molly her medication every night. I would 100% recommend Qi and will definitely use her again in the future! We are so grateful to her for taking such good care of our girl while we were away so we could enjoy our vacation!”
“We are extremely happy we had to leave our home with short noses and with no hesitation Randi helped us oh and Trip had a ball And I was sleeping because he’s exhausted all the fun he had with her and your family”
About: A lifetime of loving dogs is what drives my pet care. I grew up with dogs of my own and have spent years caring for the pets of friends and family. Because dogs have always been a central part of my life, I will create a nurturing, safe, and attentive environment for your dog. I work from home full-time, which allows me to maintain a structured and attentive routine. Your dog will enjoy an active, fun-filled day with me! My routine includes four 20–30 minute walks outside every day, paired with plenty of open playtime in my fenced yard. It is the perfect balance of structured walking and backyard fun to keep your pup happy and tired by bedtime. I provide cage-free dog boarding in my own home, offering full-time supervision while I work. Your pet will enjoy a loving environment with my friendly Goldendoodle, featuring four 20-to-30-minute outdoor walks daily and plenty of playtime in my securely fenced yard. I follow your exact care instructions to keep your dog's routine safe, consistent, and happy.

“We had our adult cat and kitten taken care by Ranjitha. Ranjitha is an expert in handling cats ,our shy and nervous adult cat warmed up to her sooo easily. She responds to the messages promptly and shares pics and videos as well. Ranjithas home has plenty of space for our high energy kitten to run and play around fearlessly. On top of it all , their sweet cat Oreo was extremely friendly to both the cats the moment they met and helped in setting down at their home.”
“Samantha and her partner took really good care of our two cats. One of them is always really anxious but based on the videos Samantha sent us and based on his behaviour when we picked him up - he seemed really comfortable and at ease with them. Samantha has a really gentle approach to the cats and we appreciated her care!”
“Lexie had a wonderful visit with Sabrina and her family! She was fed, walked, cuddled and belly-rubbed to her heart’s content! Would definitely book with Sabrina again! Thank you ❤️🐶”

Behnaz was absolutely amazing with our very energetic dog over the weekend! She took wonderful care of him and followed all our instructions perfectly. She also kept us updated throughout his stay with detailed messages and plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, our dog had such a great time with her! In fact, as we were driving away after picking him up, he was looking back at her as if he didn't want to leave. That says it all! Highly recommend Behnaz to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares for their furry companion. Thanks so much, Behnaz!
Kindred and Winnie were so happy to see Cindy and Marc again, and made themselves right at home. Cindy and Marc always provide updates and reassurance, and I know that my babies are having a fun and caring time, giving me peace of mind. Looking forward to bringing them back again soon!
We left our pup for a day with Jayson, and he absolutely loved it! We were worried at first since leaving a young dog can be stressful, but Jayson kept our minds completely at ease. He was very accommodating with all of our requests and sent timely updates and photos throughout the day. Our pup came home happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend Jayson and will definitely use him again!
My husband and I felt completely at ease leaving our sweet girl, Onyx, in Aparna’s care while we travelled out of province for the weekend. From the beginning, we felt confident that Onyx was in great hands. Aparna provided regular updates and photos throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. She was attentive, caring, and never hesitated to reach out for clarification about Onyx’s care when needed. It was clear that she genuinely wanted to make sure Onyx was comfortable and well taken care of. We would absolutely recommend Aparna to anyone in the KW region and beyond looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet. Thank you so much for giving our Onyx a wonderful “home away from home” for the weekend! ♥️
Thank you so much, Brittany. I went away on my holiday and felt Hazel was in the best chance possible. I know you are one of Hazel‘s best friends. Thank you for taking care of our house for leaving it. Clean and best of all caring for Hazel like she was your own. I very much appreciate the service separately provides.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
You and your Kitchener sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
