“This was our first time using Rover, and we could not have been happier. We feel very lucky that we found Jayden. Jayden was great with our dog. He provided lots of pictures and videos to make us feel more comfortable while we were away for a week. Our dog came home happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using Jayden again in the future.”
“Wenge And Changhe took excellent care of Milo. We received lots of pictures and updates and would definitely recommend them. Their setup for boarding is awesome with a huge private patio and dog beds and crate.”

“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.”
“Our dogs spent two weeks with Jean and we were at ease knowing they were in good hands. We loved getting pics/updates about how they were doing. Jean has an awesome fenced in backyard for them to run around and play with other dogs.”
“I am extremely happy that we chose Arlene and Kevin to watch Roman for the weekend. They were both very attentive and loving to his needs and Roman took to them immediately. When picking him up, he was relaxed and you could tell he was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Arlene and Kevin and hopefully they will be available for us next time. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of family dog and neighbors dog for 5 years. I have experience taking care of small to medium dogs and can train basic skills for puppies. My job has a flexible hours schedule and I can work from home. Therefore I can accommodate any hours needed by the customer and their dog. I do not have pets in my home currently, so the client’s dog will be the only pet in the home. I’ll make sure their dogs feel comfortable here.
“Amazing host! I brought my dog to Camila at the last minute. She is not only showing him loves but amazing care! Marshal was so happy the whole time. We were being updated during our trip. Camila is always amazing at accomodating my time change due to our flight delay. Definitely coming back.”
“Our dog Lucy had a great 10 day stay with Mike. We received daily feedback including pictures and videos. It was great to know she was safe and happy. She had several walks and went to the bush for exersise. She had lots of playtime with Tao and Finn and other dogs staying at Mike’s and loved the big back yard to roam. Mike and Yummi also gave Lucy cuddles and made her feel loved while we were gone. I would highly recommend Mike if you want your dog to enjoy a vacation while you enjoy yours!”

“Behnaz looked after my girl Maggie Mae for 3 nights on short notice. She was fast on communications, had a lot of questions during the meet and greet and sent regular photos and updates. Maggie Mae can be an anxious and reactive dog. She was calm and happy with Behnaz. I will definitely book Behnaz in for Maggie Mae care in the future.”
“We left Sky for his first day boarding stay with Saksham and Abhilasha, and they took really good care of him. Sky seemed very comfortable and happy with them, which was especially reassuring since it was his first stay with them. They also sent us frequent updates and pictures throughout the day, keeping us posted and making us feel at ease. They were kind, caring, and attentive, and we’re really happy with their service. We’ll definitely be using their services again for Sky’s future stays. Highly recommended! 🐾❤️”
“Lee & Fan are absolutely amazing! They went about above and beyond to make Candy feel like part of the family and she is so much more trusting of other people after this very positive experience she's had! Not only did they take care of her for 10 days, they made such on a positive impact on all our lives! I'm so glad they were so patient and persistent until they got to experience what we see in our sweet pup that not many others get to see!”

This was my first experience leaving the most important member of our family. I want to extend my gratitude to Jayson. He has been a very kind person with my dog, sending pictures, schedules, and updates on how my dog was doing. He took care of my dog, and I feel that he did it just like I would have. Jayson is a gentle person with dogs; he connects very well with them, and you can sense that you can trust him. Thank you, Jayson, for taking care of Alma.
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!
Behnaz took an amazing care of Eva! We could tell right away from the first pictures because Eva appeared so calm and relaxed, which almost never happens. At the end of the stay, Eva was very well rested and happy. We're glad to have found Behnaz and will definitely host with her in the future
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! 🐾❤️
Ele recently stayed with Cindy & Marc while we took a cruise. We received regular updates by text and photos. Cindy & Marc treated Ele like family, going above and beyond our expectations. We had absolutely no concerns with Ele in their care. Cindy & Marc have surpassed the five star rating by a long shot. We are sure that Ele will be looking forward to her next visit!
Priyanka took great care of Moose while we were away for a week. She was very open to doing a meet & greet beforehand to make sure it was the right fit for everyone, which we really appreciated. She took the time to get to know Moose and understand his personality and energy level, which was especially helpful since he has quite a lot of energy! She kept him entertained with lots of games of fetch and made sure he felt right at home. She also sent us regular updates every day, along with lots of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. Moose came home happy, tired, and ready to crash! We’d be happy to have Priyanka look after Moose again and would definitely recommend her to other dog parents looking for someone caring and attentive.
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!
I can't say enough great things about Crystal! She took amazing care of my two Golden Retrievers while my whole family was away for a few days. I'm very picky about who I trust with my precious babies because they can't tell me if something is wrong. She genuinely cared about them. She has excellent communication and kept me updated throughout our trip with lots of photos and messages. I really appreciated knowing how they were doing every day, it gave me so much peace of mind. On the very first day, my 8-year-old girl got sick from the stress of us being away. She unexpectedly threw up and had diarrhea, and I was honestly so worried. Crystal handled everything with so much care, patience, and love. She kept me informed, comforted my girl, and made sure she was well taken care of. Thanks to Crystal's extra attention and loving care, she started feeling much better. Crystal is also incredibly flexible, reliable, and so easy to communicate with. She was always quick to respond and happy to answer any questions I had, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. It is such a relief to have found someone I can fully trust with my dogs. They came home happy, healthy, and clearly well loved. That means everything to me. I highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable dog sitter. I'm beyond grateful for everything she did for my babies, and I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much Crystal, you are truly the best!
We have used Daniella twice now, and we have had such a wonderful experience both times! She is very quick to respond, reliable, and so accommodating. She was flexible with an early drop-off and a later pick-up, which was incredibly helpful for us. Our dog absolutely loved her and was so happy and comfortable with her. She also kept us updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was doing well. We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future. We’re so happy we found her!
This was our first time using Rover, and with a 7 month old crazy aussie puppy too. Samantha was fantastic, spent all day with him and got constant photos and updates. We we're confident we didn't have to worry, and he will definitely be back next time we need a hand! Highly recommended as first time users with a puppy.
Brittany was very flexible and great with Jade! She went above and beyond to keep Jade happy and comfortable and Jade settled in right away. Daily photo updates were amazing and put me at ease that Jade was in the best care. I strongly recommend using Brittany’s services, I will be back with Jade the next time I go away!!

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.
