“Juliette was professional, trustworthy, and wonderful to work with. This was the first time we left our 2.5-year-old male Jack Russell Terrier with a dog sitter. As anyone familiar with the breed knows, he can be very energetic at times, so we were naturally a little nervous. Thanks to Juliette, however, the entire experience was excellent. She was punctual, reliable, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable about dogs. Most importantly, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves and cares for them. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care. I would highly recommend Juliette to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
“Morgan was great! She was quick to respond whenever we messaged her and she provided detailed reports of how our dog was doing at the end of everyday, complete with videos and pictures. Our dog liked her right away (and he doesn’t like everyone). I would highly recommend Morgan. Thanks to her we had peace of mind while we were away!”
“Nous ferons certainement appel à Catherine de nouveau. On pouvait facilement constater à notre retour que notre chien l'aimait beaucoup et qu'elle avait été très attentionné avec lui.”
“Théo took the time to meet my dog and I the day before our booking, and really goes above and beyond to provide loving care for the animal. I recommend Théo 100% and so does my pup!”
About: As a pet owner for almost 10 years, I have daily cared for my dog, Daisy, as well as family and friend’s dogs. Specifically dog sitting and training several neighbour’s puppies as well as providing dog walking services to older dogs. As a university student, my schedule is quite flexible and spread out allowing for plenty of time for dog walking opportunities and pet sitting. Adding dog walking could easily fit into my weekly routine, along with pet sitting overnight and on weekends. Knowing my own dog’s tendencies to wander when left unsupervised in the backyard or garden, I would always play with and supervise dogs in my client’s home. Especially if their dog is a puppy with ample curiosity or have an unfenced yard where their pet could wander.
About: Hello everyone :) My name is Kasey and I love animals! Throughout my childhood I loved getting the opportunity to take care of other people pets. In my neighbourhood, I was known as the dog walker from the time I was 7. This is because I loved spending time with my neighbors dogs. If I saw a loose dog, I’d go door to door until I found the owner. Growing up, I didn’t have a dog, but I still got to experience having a dog through my family and friends. I’ve also has the opportunity to volunteer for dog walking at a shelter, which was sooo much fun! I do have cats that I love with my whole heart! I throughly enjoy spending time with pets and grooming them! I’ve groomed cats and dogs and I love it! I have so much respect and love for dogs and cats, so I would be honoured to spend time with your pet! Sincerely, Kasey https://www.rover.com/sit/kaseyh06158
About: Je suis né entourée d’animaux. J’ai vu mes chiens passer de petits bébés à de grands chiens et mes petits chats grandir. Je me suis occupée d’eux bébé, adultes et parfois plus âgés. Je pense que cela me rends apte à m’occuper de n’importe lequel de vos amis à poil et de m’adapter à leur besoins spécifiques. Je suis actuellement étudiante à l’ÉTS, je suis donc disponible lors des pauses dîners et des demis journées où je n’ai pas cours ainsi que les week end pour m’occuper de vos animaux. Je ne garde que les chats dans mon appartement si ceux là sont habitué à une vie en intérieur. Chez vous je m’adapte à vos règles et aux besoins de vos animaux pour m’assurer que le changement les impactent le moins possible.
About: * English will follow * ------------- Bonjour! Je m'appelle Claire et je suis une personne active, sociable et enjouée. La présence des animaux est très importante dans ma vie, mais étant trop nomade pour adopter un animal dans l'immédiat, être gardienne est la façon idéale de passer du temps en compagnie d'animaux. Le bien-être animal m'importe beaucoup, et je ferai toujours de mon mieux pour que votre chien, chat ou autre petit compagnon, se sente à l'aise et heureux durant votre absence :) Tous les animaux sont différents, et je veille à respecter leur rythme, surtout au début lorsque nous faisons connaissance afin que la confiance s'installe. Pour me présenter brièvement, je suis quelqu'un de curieux qui aime profiter des petits plaisirs du quotidien, que ce soit cuisiner, lire, partir en randonnée ou découvrir de nouveaux endroits. Je travaille trois soirs par semaine dans la restauration (généralement de 16h à 22h maximum), avec un horaire qui varie d'une semaine à l'autre. Je suis donc généralement très disponible en journée pour les promenades, les visites et les moments passés avec vos compagnons! J'ai commencé le gardiennage d'animaux en gardant ceux de mes amis pendant leurs vacances lorsque j'étais étudiante, et j'ai ensuite profité de mes différents voyages à l'étranger pour continuer dans différents pays, notamment en Australie où j'ai gardé à plusieurs reprises des chiens au domicile de leur propriétaire, et offert des services de promenades et de visites à domicile. De retour à Montréal en 2023, j'ai décidé de continuer l'expérience en m'inscrivant sur Pawshake. J'ai depuis eu l'occasion de garder des dizaines d'animaux et je garde un excellent souvenir de chacun d'entre eux ! J'ai également fait plusieurs gardes de maison dans les provinces maritimes à l'été 2025. Je suis disponible pour garder vos animaux et leur accorder du temps et de l'attention, que ce soit à mon domicile ou au vôtre. Je privilégie une approche personnalisée et veille à ce que chaque animal bénéficie de toute l'attention dont il a besoin. Lorsque je garde un animal chez moi, je n'en accueille qu'un seul à la fois afin de lui offrir un environnement calme et de pouvoir me consacrer pleinement à lui. Je prends également soin de vous envoyer régulièrement des nouvelles, avec des photos et des vidéos si vous le souhaitez. Voici les services que je propose : Hébergement à mon domicile : Je vis seule dans un grand appartement lumineux de 1000 pieds carrés, au troisième étage d'un triplex. Pour l'hébergement des chiens, je peux accueillir uniquement des chiens calmes qui n'ont pas tendance à aboyer lorsqu'ils sont à l'intérieur. Mon logement permet d'accueillir des chiens pour de courts séjours, avec l'accord de ma propriétaire, à condition que cela reste tranquille et respectueux du voisinage. J'ai déjà gardé beaucoup de chats à mon domicile, qui s'y plaisent généralement beaucoup. Je passe du temps à jouer avec eux s'ils le souhaitent et veille à respecter leur rythme et leurs habitudes. Quel que soit votre animal, il est important que nous communiquions au préalable sur ses besoins afin de déterminer s'il pourra se sentir bien chez moi :) Garde de votre domicile : Il me fera plaisir de veiller au bien-être de vos animaux de compagnie à votre domicile durant votre absence et je prendrai soin de votre logement comme s'il était le mien. Je peux également arroser vos plantes, m'occuper de l'entretien général de votre logement et rentrer le courrier si besoin. Visite de vos animaux à votre domicile : Je peux rendre visite à vos animaux à votre domicile, à la fréquence qui vous conviendra. Je vous enverrai des nouvelles à chacune de mes visites. Je peux également m'occuper de vos plantes au besoin. Promenades de chien : Que ce soit pour une demi-heure ou deux heures, j'emmènerai votre chien pour sa ou ses balades quotidiennes durant votre absence. Pour les visites à domicile et les promenades, je privilégie les demandes dans mon quartier, Hochelaga, ainsi que dans les secteurs avoisinants. Merci de me préciser votre code postal lors de votre demande afin que nous puissions voir ensemble si le déplacement est possible. Des frais supplémentaires peuvent s'appliquer pour les secteurs plus éloignés. En ce qui concerne les soins de santé, je peux administrer des médicaments par voie orale ou par injection, sous réserve que vous me montriez au préalable comment procéder. N'hésitez pas à me contacter pour de plus amples informations ! Merci par avance pour votre confiance, et au plaisir de vous rencontrer prochainement ! ----------- Hello! My name is Claire, and I'm an active, sociable, and cheerful person. Animals are a very important part of my life, but since I'm a little too nomadic to adopt a pet of my own just yet, pet sitting is the perfect way for me to enjoy spending time with animals. Animal welfare is very important to me, and I'll always do my best to make sure your dog, cat, or other little companion feels comfortable and happy while you're away :) Every animal is different, and I make sure to respect their individual pace and needs, especially when we're first getting to know each other and building trust. A little bit about me: I'm a curious person who enjoys life's simple pleasures, whether that's cooking, reading, going hiking, or discovering new places. I work three evenings a week in the restaurant industry (usually from 4 PM to 10 PM at the latest), with a schedule that varies from week to week. This means I'm generally very available during the day for walks, visits, and spending time with your furry companions! I first started pet sitting by looking after my friends' pets while they were away on vacation during my student years. I then continued pet sitting in different countries while travelling abroad, particularly in Australia, where I regularly looked after dogs in their owners' homes while they were away, as well as providing dog walking and home visit services. When I returned to Montreal in 2023, I decided to continue this experience by joining Pawshake. Since then, I've had the opportunity to care for dozens of animals, and I've made wonderful memories with every single one of them! I also completed several house-sitting stays in the Maritime provinces during the summer of 2025. I'm available to care for your pets and give them plenty of time and attention, whether at my home or yours. I believe in providing personalized care and making sure each animal gets the attention they need. When hosting pets at my home, I only take care of one animal at a time so I can give them my full attention and provide a calm environment. I'll also make sure to keep you regularly updated, with photos and videos if you'd like! Here are the services I offer: Pet boarding at my home: I live alone in a spacious, bright 1,000-square-foot apartment on the third floor of a triplex. When it comes to boarding dogs, I can only accommodate calm dogs who don't tend to bark indoors. My landlord has agreed to allow short-term dog stays, provided they remain quiet and respectful of the neighbours. I've also hosted many cats at my home, and they generally seem to feel very comfortable here. I enjoy spending time playing with them if they're up for it, while respecting their routines and habits. Whatever kind of pet you have, it's important that we discuss their needs beforehand to make sure they'll feel comfortable in my home :) House sitting: I'd be happy to look after your pets in your home while you're away, and I'll take care of your place as if it were my own. I can also water your plants, take care of general household tasks, and bring in the mail if needed. Home visits: I can visit your pets at your home as often as you need. I'll send you updates after each visit and can also take care of your plants if needed. Dog walking: Whether it's a 30-minute walk or a two-hour outing, I'd be happy to take your dog out for their daily walk(s) while you're away. For home visits and dog walking, I mainly focus on requests in my neighbourhood, Hochelaga, and the surrounding areas. Please include your postal code when sending a request so we can see together whether the distance works. Additional travel fees may apply for locations further away. As for medical care, I'm comfortable administering oral medication and injections, provided you show me how to do so beforehand. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like more information! Thank you in advance for your trust, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry companions! Je travaille comme agente de remontées mécaniques à temps partiel, de 11h à 14h15 du lundi au samedi. Il me reste donc pas mal de temps libre pour m'occuper de vos animaux 🙂 Je ne peux malheureusement pas garder de chien à mon domicile, uniquement les chats. Je ne garde jamais plus d'un animal à la fois à mon domicile, afin qu'il ne se sente pas stressé. Je laisse au chat tout le temps nécessaire pour s'adapter à son nouvel environnement, et attend que ce soit lui qui décide de venir me voir. Je vis uniquement avec mon conjoint, dans un environnement calme. J'aime écouter de la musique douce, je suis sûre que les animaux ressentent la sérénité d'un lieu. Chez les propriétaires, je viens déjà une fois pour que l'on m'explique tout ce qu'il y a à savoir, notamment sur les besoins et le caractère de l'animal. Je respecte scrupuleusement les consignes qui me sont données et je n'hésite pas à contacter le propriétaire si j'ai une question durant son absence. Je m'assure que l'animal se sente bien en ma compagnie, en le laissant venir à moi, en lui parlant calmement, le temps qu'il s'habitue à ma présence. Je donne des nouvelles régulières, généralement via Whatsapp avec des photos et vidéos.
About: I have a dog at my home in Ottawa and i currently live with my cat! I always take good care of my animals, i’ve even had a turtle! I’m doing this side job in order to help the payments for my cat’s vet bill! I would love to take care of your pets! I’m a full time student-athlete! My mornings are for practice but the rest of my days are free to take care of furry friends! Because i am very active, i can take ur dogs for very long walks! I take care of my senior cat at home, i’ve had her since i was 11 years old! She is a spoiled brat haha! But i take care of her with my life!
“Jingyi was absolutely fabulous! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her communication was amazing, and she sent me lots of photos and videos while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I had very limited internet access during my trip, but she still made every effort to keep me updated, and I really appreciated coming back to all of her messages, photos, and videos. She took wonderful care of my cat and also left my home incredibly clean and tidy. It was clear that she was attentive, caring, and respectful of both my pet and my home. I felt completely comfortable having Jingyi look after everything while I was away and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend her!”
“Huaqiang and his partner were great! They stayed at our home to look after our 18 year old cat, who needs medicine. I felt calm and confident leaving her with them. They sent us daily pictures and messages how she is doing. Coming home, our cat was happy, not stressed (and she usually is, when she is with strangers). I already booked them for another weekend and hoping for many more in the future. I would recommend them.”
About: Hello! My name is Maria and I am 25 years old. I’ve lived in Montreal for 6 years now and I have moved a lot through my life. But something that stays the same is that I always have pets with me. I am an animal lover and my passion for taking care of them has been consistent all my life. Since I was a little kid I wanted to be a veterinarian and living in tropical countries like Costa Rica and Dominican Republic gave me unique experiences with different kinds of animals but the same love and care has always been present for all species. I have had pets all my life, ranging from small dogs like cockers spaniels to bigger ones like Rottweilers and German Sheperds and other pets like cats and hamsters. The love for animals has been passed by my parents and it’s a core value in our family, my mother rescued cats all her life and I share the same passion (my little black cat named Sypha on my profile picture is a rescue). I currently have a cat, as mentioned earlier and I would give my kidney for him and you can expect the same kind of love and care for your pets. I have great attention to detail, I’m very organized and will take care of your pets the way they need to be cared for, weather it is going for walks, taking medication on schedule or completing weird little rituals that make them feel loved and safe. Just let me know what they need! I usually work part time so I have a lot of availabilities for your pets! I start work at 11 and finish at 5pm from Monday to Thursday, so I can drop by before and after my shift! However, I am on vacation for a month until October 12th, so I can dedicate myself full time to your furry babies! At home, your pets will stay inside at all times except for when going on walks or potty! Your pets will never be unsupervised. I will keep them on leash and balcony time will also be supervised although it is also secured/ pet proof
“Mahalia was great with Goblin & provided me with lots of updates and peace of mind during a long weekend away! Even handled Goblin’s sensitive tummy & a bit of a poop mess which I really appreciated 😅 Highly recommend!”
“Angela looked after Cosmo and Neumos for the first part of our vacation. Despite her young age, she showed incredible maturity—she was polite, proactive, and always kept us in the loop with regular updates. She had no prior experience with a megaesophagus condition, but she stepped up to the challenge and managed his routine flawlessly. We highly recommend her!”
About: Alo! J’ai eu la chance de grandir avec un chien pendant mon enfance et adolescence. C’était une expérience incroyable , j’ai toujours un chien avec mes parents et j’aime m’en occuper quand je suis avec elle :) . Je serais ravis de faire pareil avec vos toutous ! Je suis actuellement étudiante à l’université. J’ai un peu de temps libre et je j’aimerais être utile au près de d’autres personnes! Il faudrait d'abord faire une visite avant toutes gardes , cela permet au chien de me connaître et moi en retour. Vous me donnerez toutes les informations nécessaire le concernant et on sera prêt pour des balades ou des gardes !
About: I have always been around cats and dogs. Had cats most of my life, and a very large dog for 12 years. Dogs and cats love me too I'm available for afternoon and evening walks or drop ins. Housesitting to be discussed. Available for sitting over Christmas holidays full time, to be discussed I treat anyone's space as well or better than my own. I am clean, organized and respectful of peoples property and privacy. My pet lives like royalty, so will yours
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and volunteered at an animal shelter, caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments with patience and care. I work 100% remotely, which allows me to be flexible and fully present for the dogs and cats I care for throughout the day. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and can easily adapt. I prioritize pets’ safety and comfort. Whether at my home or yours, I follow routines, keep a clean, calm, and secure environment, and provide gentle, attentive care with regular updates.
“Marianne a passé la journée chez nous avec nos animaux!!! Je n’ai que de bons mots pour elle. Elle nous a rapidement mit en confiance. Elle est arrivée à l’heure! Elle s’est occupé un peu plus de notre chien qui avait eu une opération quelques jours plus tôt! Je recommande Marianne et je n’hésiterai pas à utiliser ses services à nouveaux!”
“Isabela was a wonderful sitter! She was easy to communicate with, punctual, and incredibly flexible, especially as I had to change the timing a few times. It was clear from the moment she met my elderly cat that she would be caring and affectionate with him—she was immediately so sweet with him. She left my home tidy and also provided a detailed update on how my cat was doing throughout the week I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. I would recommend Isabela without hesitation and would happily have her sit for my cat again! Isabela a été une merveilleuse gardienne ! La communication avec elle était très facile, elle était ponctuelle et très flexible, notamment parce que j’ai dû modifier les horaires à quelques reprises. Dès qu’elle a rencontré mon chat âgé, il était évident qu’elle serait douce et affectueuse avec lui — elle a tout de suite été adorable avec lui. Elle a laissé ma maison bien rangée et m’a également donné des nouvelles détaillées de l’état de mon chat pendant toute la semaine où j’étais absente, ce qui m’a beaucoup rassurée. Je recommande Isabela sans aucune hésitation et je serais ravie de lui confier à nouveau la garde de mon chat !”

Chrissy was great! She came over to my house to take care of my 5 month old puppy, she was super caring and followed all my instructions carefully. She sent me updates, pictures and all. Amazing vibes, would definitely recommend Chrissy to take care of your pets!
Benito et Belinda 🐱🐱 ont eu le plaisir de se faire garder par Audrey. Elle est incroyable avec les chats, patiente et à l'écoute de leur besoin. À notre retour, notre appartement était impeccable. Je recommende ses services à 100%. On a passé de belles vacances avec une tranquilité d'esprit.
I had a great experience with Maëlle! She took such great care of Blue, including taking her on nice, long walks and keeping me updated throughout the entire stay. We met beforehand to make sure she and Blue got along, which gave me peace of mind. When I came home, my place was even tidied up! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared for Blue very well. I would definitely book with her again! 🐾💕
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Betsy while I was away. From the very beginning, Janelle was warm, caring, responsible, and so attentive to Betsy’s needs. She kept me updated with photos and videos, which meant so much to me and gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from the happy, playful, engaged Betsy I saw in those updates that she was comfortable, loved, and very well cared for. Janelle was also wonderful about following all of Betsy’s routines and little quirks. I came home to a happy, healthy little dog—and that says everything. I’m incredibly grateful to Janelle for taking such wonderful care of my little girl. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet. Thank you, Janelle, for giving me such peace of mind and for treating Betsy with so much love and care. ❤️
Denis was absolutely wonderful with Paddington during his 4-day stay at our home! He kindly accepted our booking at the last minute during a complicated situation while we were abroad. I was quite stressed about everything, and Denis was incredibly kind, understanding, and reassuring throughout the whole stay. Paddington is only 5 months old and can be quite a handful, but Denis was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring with him. He followed all our instructions carefully and kept us updated regularly. He was also very respectful of our home and left the apartment super clean. We couldn’t have asked for better! We’re really grateful for everything. Denis is someone you can trust with your pet and your home with your eyes closed. We would absolutely recommend him and happily have him look after Paddington again !
Phillip took good care of my two cats and gave news everyday. He is very passionate about taking care of cats and will brush, pet and play with them, making your pets very comfortable and peaceful ! One of my cat has a shy and reserved nature and usually isn’t a big fan of interacting with new people, however he quickly felt very comfortable with Phillip.
Couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Understanding, accommodating and helpful and always kept me updated on how my babies were doing! Very easy to work with and very responsive. My shy cat Muffin loved her — that should tell you enough! Very grateful 🩵
I truly can’t recommend her enough! She took care of our miniature schnauzer Rita for two weeks in our home, and she was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. She sent us daily updates, photos, and little details about Rita’s day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can genuinely tell how much she loves and cares about dogs. She treated Rita with so much love and attention, and I always felt like she was in the best hands possible. She also took wonderful care of our home, and we came back to a very happy and very loved little dog. 🐶💕 She was truly an angel, and I honestly think Rita might like her more than us now 😂❤️ We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would trust her with Rita again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they were her own, she is absolutely the person. 1000% recommend! 💗
Once again, absolutely perfect service from Rebecca!! I have complete faith in her ability to take care of my cat and bird while I'm away, she gives me peace of mind that not even one of my family members could give!! Would give 10 stars if I could. She is very kind with my pets and they love her too, and she sends lots of photo and video updates, which is so comforting. Will definitely like to book with her again 🥰
Mochi a develope un ulcer sur son oeil juste trois jours avant qu'Annie arrive, et elle a pris soins d'elle et donner beaucoup de médicaments et d'attention. On est vraiment content avec elle et recommender elle a tout le monde! Mochi developed an ulcer on her eye just three days before Annie arrived, and she kept Mochi happy and healthy and gave her lots of medication (eye drops + pills) and attention. We are truly happy with Annie and recommend her to everyone!
Anna took wonderful care of our 5-year-old tabby while staying in our home. She was reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, keeping us updated each day with photos and messages. We felt completely at ease knowing our tabby was in such good hands. Would book Anna again without hesitation and highly recommend her. So glad we found her—she’s a gem!

FAQs for House Sitting - Longueuil
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Longueuil is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $59 per night.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Longueuil maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Longueuil walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Longueuil choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
