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.
“Jayden took care of our dog with lots of love and attention while we were out of town. It's not an easy dog to care for but with great communication skills, Jayden made sure to understand all of the dog's needs and quirks and was very mindful of our schedule. Jayden also handled unexpected scenarios superbly, demonstrating his previous experience with dogs. I would definitely recommend Jayden as a sitter.”
“Such kind people Parthvi and Mayank are, they treated molly so well. Molly looked so happy and well taken care by them. They provided constant updates about molly during her stay. She found her forever 2nd home. Thank you 😊 Yuki is such a sweetheart 💜”
About: I have been a pet parent all of my life. I grew up on a farm with every sort of animal. My parents bred Dachshunds and American Eskimos. Currently, I am mom to a rescued Frenchie girl with a heart murmur. She has a Grade 3 of 6 heart murmur which makes me especially familiar with special needs animals. Being a Frenchie mom also means that I am aware of the special needs of Brachycephalic dog breeds (especially during the hot summer months). I worked in a privately owned holistic pet store for more than four years helping customers find the right food, treats and remedies for their fur babies. There is no more satisfying feeling than the results of the help I provided. Seeing the transformation of the fur baby and the happiness that it brought to their pet parent ❤️ I also fostered for Niagara Dog Rescue for a brief period before finding my forever girls. I dealt with dogs with behavioural issues and showed them that not all humans hurt or leave. No request or care detail is ever overlooked. Post walk paw cleaning, face fold cleaning, special post walk treats... Clean water from a freshly washed bowl. Whatever your pup needs will be done. I practice Cesar Millan's techniques and am a calm and confident walker. However; I also know how super important it is for pups to have the opportunity for enrichment through sniffing. All dogs are the cute, cuddle kind. I can't wait to meet yours! I'm home full time other than when walking or checking on fur friends. Your fur family will be able to get as much time and love as they need while you are out/away. In my home, your fur babies become adopted family and will be given the freedom to roam and cuddle wherever they like. If your fur baby needs the safe space of a crate, that is completely doable.
“Camila was the best sitter we’ve experienced on Rover. She is communicative throughout the stay, providing pictures and videos of our dogs, and genuinely seemed to love taking care of them!”
About: I have a innate love of animals. Large or small, confident or timid, young or old, they all have a place in my heart. I am patient, adaptable and calm even when others may not be. My critical thinking skills help me to troubleshoot any situation your pet might challenge me with. I always look for a win-win outcome. Your pets walk and play time every day is an important part of their lives, and I look forward to spending my time with them. Georgia is an American Staffy that we rescued last year, at approximately 1 years old. Since then we have focused on all levels of training, including agility, to help deal with her reactivity. We have made tremendous progress over the last year with her. I am available between 7 and 6 Monday to Saturday. Sundays and holidays can also be accommodated. My flexible schedule means that I can provide care on your schedule. I know that timing and routine are important to your pet and yourself, and I am punctual and dependable. I understand how important the safety of your furry friend is to you. Should your pet join us in our home, they will have the opportunity to enjoy our fully fenced back yard during play time. During walking times, there are many lovely trails and pathways in our quiet residential neighborhood that we can enjoy together.
“Huang and her children took such great care of Dobby. He was super spoiled and got to sleep with the kids. Huang shared updates everyday of Dobby’s activities which was great to see. We would definitely use Huang’s services again.”
“Varinderpal, was very engaged and took extra care and attention for Bandit who has special needs. She is very caring and compassionate and made Bandits stay special. Don’t hesitate to book with her!”
“Ranjitha, her partner and their kitty Oreo were so good to my kitty cat Coco. Both cats got along so well and mine was able to roam their house freely. Absolutely recommend her boarding service.”
“Nicole looked after my dog Rex for one night, and I couldn’t be happier. I was worried about leaving him in someone else’s care, but she was wonderful—kind, responsible, and attentive. Rex was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend her! Definitely I will book again. Thanks Nicole for wonderful services.”
“Taryn dog sat for us and was so sweet with our sensitive, high energy girl. She asked lots of great questions about our dog's needs and how to work with her, and really put in the work to make sure those needs were met. She was very patient and understanding when our dog didn't do well with her lovely cat and found a solution to keep everyone safe and happy. Taryn is a total gem and I definitely recommend her.”
“It was the first time I used the sitter for my dog. We left our dog with Adam for four days. Adam is a great pet sitter! He is very friendly and communicative. I received the message about my dog every day, along with photos. My dog looked very relaxed and pleased during her stay. I highly recommend Adam for his service. I will leave my dog again with Adam whenever it is needed.”

Priyanka and her family were wonderful to work with. We recently booked our dog Ted in for a weeks family vacation, and will absolutely be booking again. We did a meeting prior to our booking to ensure fitment, and were warmly welcomed at their home. It was clean, and felt very warm. Once we agreed to move forward, everything went well and as agreed upon. Drop-off was easy, we were not rushed, and Ted was given immediate access to explore the home. We were given morning and evening updates, including many pictures and videos so we felt comfortable in knowing how he was adjusting. Ted was excited to see us at pick-up, but we could tell he missed the family and his new friend Link for a few days prior to leaving. Dont hesitate, I highly recommend Priyanka and her famiky in caring for your furry loved ones.
This was our first time using the Rover app so I was a little nervous, but we couldn't have found a better sitter! Behnaz and Zelda instantly bonded and I was very comfortable leaving her in Behnaz's care. We received updates and pictures on how Zelda was settling in, and it helped make our week long vacation worry free. Thank you Behnaz!
Our boy Happy has stayed with Jason and his family for multiple short and long term stays this summer. Each time they have provided wonderful, loving care of Happy - with generous and frequent updates of his wellbeing and day to day activities. Jason has been extremely professional, communicative and flexible with our requests - even providing extended care when our flight was delayed. Happy loves walks and being near others and Jason has been accommodating his need with many long walks in the nearby parks, taking him along for outdoor events and couch cuddles. Thank you for taking care of our family while we were away! If we can give even more stars with our review we would
We had such a wonderful experience! Ranjitha was incredibly kind and took such great care of our dog Joey. He is usually very skittish and takes a while to warm up to people, but he absolutely opened up with her and seemed so happy and comfortable during his stay. He clearly had a great time and enjoyed himself so much! The sweetest part was when we came to pick him up, he actually went back to her to say goodbye and greet her, which is something he normally never does! 🥹❤️ That really showed us how comfortable and happy he was with her. We’re so grateful for the love and care she gave him and would absolutely recommend her!
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.
Sara and Rick are the absolute BEST!!! Words can’t express how amazing they were with my cat! They are SUCH sweet animal lovers and took such good care of him, he warmed up to them immediately!! Their communication was also incredible.. they kept me updated and sent me lots of photos! It was such a wonderful and comforting experience. One hundred percent recommend, you will not be disappointed. They’re amazing.. and I would have them watch my pet again in a heartbeat! :) thank you so sooooo much! Cannot thank you enough 💗
Our dog Rocco had such a wonderful time with Camila and her family this past weekend! She sent us pictures and videos throughout his stay, which was so nice and really reassuring to see how happy and comfortable he was. We were hoping to find someone who would treat Rocco like one of the family, and Camila absolutely did. He got lots of walks, which he loves, plenty of attention, and clearly had a great weekend. He came home happy and full of energy like he had enjoyed a little weekend getaway of his own rather than just waiting for us to come home. Thank you so much, Camila! We feel so good knowing we now have someone we trust and a new go-to for Rocco when we’re away.
We had such a great experience with Jing! She was wonderful with our dog Bubble and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was reliable, attentive and caring. We really appreciated she took great care of Bubble while we were away. We would definitely love to have Bubble spend time with Jing again!
Tucker was so well taken care of while we were away! Evelyn & Jithin were absolutely wonderful with him, and we could tell he had such a great time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. We’re so grateful and would happily have them look after Tucker again! 🐾❤️
Stefan took amazing care of our senior dog Charlie for a week and a half! I received a ton of pictures and videos of her walks, adventures, and daily activities with Stefan and Bumi. The communication was impeccable. Stefan was also very flexible and respectful of Charlie. For example, he messaged me when Charlie wasn't able to get into his car by herself to make sure it was okay to pick her up and help her in. He also made sure to come home from work at lunch time to let her go pee on the days he was in the office. I will definitely be booking with Stefan again next time we need to leave overnight for something. He clearly loves dogs so much and it was the most comfortable I've felt with someone else watching Charlie ever.
My golden retriever Aki stayed with Wei-Chien and her partner for a month and had such an amazing time that she was sad to leave! This was the best dog-sitting experience I have ever had, pick up and drop off went smoothly, Wei-Chien sent photo and video updates every day, and went above and beyond to ensure Aki was having the best time. Highly recommend and I will definitely use if I go away again!

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 pet, 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
