“Amazing, wonderful care for our 11 week old puppy. She was safe and loved, well taken care of. Lindsey took her on walks, frequent potty breaks and sent several updates with photos. A very good option for doggie care, I’ll use her and her sweet family again.”
“Nicole was super nice and kind! Mila was very well taken care of and came back home happy and relaxed. Nicole sent us pictures and kept us updated every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re very happy with the care Mila received and would definitely recommend Nicole! ❤️”
“As always, Lauren is amazing with Milanesa. She is so happy staying with her and her family. Milanesa has so much fun and feels very loved every time she stays with Lauren. We will definitely repeat next time.”
“Sjako and his family took wonderful care of our little Emilio. His kids were so sweet and gentle with our dog and they took Emilio out for a hike as well. We appreciated the great communication and the photos of our dog while we were away. Thanks so much!”
“Milo had such a blast with Marcy and friends. I really appreciated all of the videos and pics to see he was having so much fun. Definitely recommend and would have her take care of Milo again ❤️”
“Maggie was with Terry for a week and I usually worry because she is anxious around new people and being left but what a time she had! She seemed like she didn’t want to come home when I went to pick her up. She had lots of walks and off leash park time and playing in the yard; lots of cuddle time it seems. She even took to Jim, Terry’s husband right away- not one bark. It was an awesome experience for both of us. Thank you Terry for taking such great care of our Maggie ❤️ we’ll be back soon!”
“This was Leroy's first stay with Karin and her family. I am really impressed how warm and welcoming they were to both Leroy and I, and what good care they took of him. Karin sent messages and photos every day and he clearly enjoyed his stay. I highly recommend Karin.”
“Thank you, Janice for taking so good care of my little doggie! Peace of mind is everything when I have to leave Abbie behind for work or personal travel. You took care of all her basic needs, kept her exercised and very happy. It is also great that you live close to hiking trails so dogs can enjoy the great outdoors. Abbie looks forward to the next time she visits you, your husband and Bear!”
“I can’t say enough about how amazing Moka’s visit was with Joanne. She quickly became friends with Joanne’s big pup and went on adventures every day! Joanne sent daily pictures to finish off each day and treated Moka like her own! I’m sure Moka cannot wait for her next stay with Joanne.”
“Danielle was a lifesaver taking in my newly adopted Nellie when family plans unexpectedly changed over the holidays. Although Nellie is nervous around most people at first, she warmed right up to Danielle and her pal Gibuu and settled in nicely for the few days we were gone. I appreciated Danielle’s experience and commitment to Nellie’s care and even sent me updates of their adventures! I would definitely recommend Danielle!”
“We felt so lucky to find these folks during a last minute shuffle of our plans for pet care for our dog, Maxwell. We were overwhelmed, running out of time, and stressed for our high energy breed. It was our first experience with a pet sitter and with Rover - and we were so happy with Coraline. We had a chance to meet and have a long discussion about our dog’s needs, and her calm reassuring energy helped us make a really good decision. Max had a great time, and from what I can tell he came home calmer & more grounded than when we left him (and of course we returned calmer!) it really felt like I got a better dog when I came home. We are super happy to have someone Max really enjoys being with if we ever find ourselves taking another trip without him!”
“Really happy with the dog care service . super friendly and clearly loves dogs. My pup comes back clean, happy, and tired (in a good way!). They even send little updates and pics, which I love. Definitely feels like my dog is in good hands.”
“Tyler was amazing. Kita loved her time with him, as evidenced by all the wonderful photos we received of her stay. Would highly recommend Tyler and Kita will be visiting him again soon.”
About: I’ve had pets in my home all of my life, but have 2 of my own pets currently - a 4.5 year old lab and a 3.5 year old cat. I’ve trained both my dog and cat, and have helped family members with training puppies in the past and currently. I’ve done drop in visits for many friends, family, and neighbours over the years. I have experience administering both oral and topical medications for pets, and have always paid attention to every small instruction provided by vets. Knowing how much my pets mean to me, I’m more than happy to follow and respect any pet owners preferences and instructions. I take the time to get to know each pet individually, as I know and respect that they all have different needs, preferences, and boundaries. I am available most mornings and evenings, and all day weekends. I’m quite flexible and will do what I can to make any appointment work! I respond quickly and am reliable once a time is set. I keep my pricing as low as is reasonable, as I want pet owners to be able to enjoy their lives with as little stress as possible! I have a black lab, who is 4.5 years old, as well as a 3.5 year old cat. Both are very friendly and outgoing animals, and warm up quickly to any new visitors. For visits to the pet owners home, any instructions will be followed closely. I am an honest, diligent person, and am more than happy to meet pet owners prior to taking on any job!
About: I have been actively petsitting for 2 years and looking after pets is my true passion! I offer overnight petsitting in your home where your pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar surroundings while you’re away :) My overnight stays generally start late afternoon or evening-to-morning, meaning I typically arrive between 3 - 6 pm and stay overnight until the morning of the last petsit day. My overnight pet sitting care is live-in, which means I will stay in your home, resume my normal schedule with the goal of keeping to your pet’s regular routine as much as possible. • I am generally away for approximately 4-8 hours depending on my schedule, working at my job. So this service is best suited for pets who are comfortable during the day/used to working pawrents!🐾 • For in my home boarding/petsitting, I can accept 1 dog at a time and they must be friendly with other dog & cats. I have a fenced yard + parks and trails nearby! • If this sounds like a good fit for you, feel welcome to reach out! 🐾❤️ During the day, I am either doing check ins or working at my job. I am always around in the evenings & overnight when I’m doing in your home petsitting. Whether it’s multiple daytime check ins, or an overnight petsit, I’ll treat your pets like family, with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I’d be honored to be part of their routine and help give you peace of mind when you’re away. 🐾
“We normally bring our pup everywhere, but at 13, he cant quite make it on all of our family adventures. Our dog received wonderful care with Sharon and the updates and pictures helped ease our stress at leaving our family member behind. A great experience overall and much better than a kennel!”
“Dorothy is an amazing pet sitter. she took care of my 12 year old dog and sent me daily photos of his walks and naps. I felt she was very knowledgeable about dogs and my dog did not want to leave when he was picked up. He was with Dorothy for 10 days and I would highly recommend her. I felt very at ease knowing he was in good hands.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. We had Golden Retrievers and a Shepard growing up and now I have my own fur baby who is a Chocolate Lab named Arthur. I’ve worked in the pet industry for many years from retail, assisting in a Vet clinic and a Sales Rep for a pet product company. I have a lot of free weekends and what better way to spend that extra time than to spend it with dogs! Please keep in mind I do have a dog that would also be in the home so your dog must be okay with other dogs. I believe in a healthy balance of exercise and down time. I will typically do 1-2 walks a day, play in the back yard and down time with lots of cuddles. I would also like to mention, that If you have a shy or senior dog that likes a calm environment then this is your place!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats as a child. As soon as I moved out to Canada, I got my own dog. My kids grew up with all kinds of animals in the house, the animals helped make my house a home. I’ve looked after friends and family pets most of my life and occasionally got paid for it. I took semi retirement early to enjoy life more and work less. I don’t consider caring for a pet a job. I work less the 30 hrs a week so lots of time to care for your pets in your home Lots of exercise, stick to the routine already set up by the owner. Lots of patience as the animal gets to know me and plenty of cuddles along the way. I have experience with seizures and epilepsy

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.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred.

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 Ladysmith 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.
