“We had never left Murphy before but Sarah welcomed him in her home and did all his favourite things - taking walks, snuggles, playing fetch. Sarah communicated throughout the stay. She was great and we would happily use her again.”
“Our dog Aspen was excited to be back when Julia kindly took our short notice request for another stay. Lots of pictures and videos showing Aspen making herself at home! Thank you!”
“My dog is sooo comfortable with Tannis. She’s been our sitter a few times now with absolutely no problems. We will continue to book with her as long as she is available :)”
“John and Lynda took wonderful care of Bloom and Winnie for two days, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. They were kind, communicative, and kept us updated with messages about the dogs’ activities and how they were doing, which gave us great peace of mind. I was a little worried about Winnie because she’s a bit whiny and loves to snuggle (and definitely thinks she’s entitled to the whole bed!), but they embraced her personality with nothing but patience, love, and compliments about what good dogs they both were. It was clear they genuinely cared for them. We also really appreciated their availability, especially since we booked a few months in advance. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will absolutely be keeping in touch with John and Lynda for future pet care. Thank you both for treating Bloom and Winnie like family!”
“Olena was amazing with Ben! From the pictures that she had provided regularly during Ben’s stay at Olena’s home, it was obvious that he was calm, relaxed and happy to be there. Thank you very much Olena!! Ben would love to spend more time with you in a future:)”
“Emma and her family were so welcoming to our Lizzy! They’re very accommodating and friendly. I could tell they are absolute dog lovers and Lizzy felt right at home! Lizzy looks forward to staying with them again soon!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Nicole was fantastic. Daily updates with pictures, videos, and messages and we had absolute piece of mind that Emmy was in great hands while we were on vacation. She was spoiled rotten with walks, car rides, playtime, and cuddles. Will definitely ask Nicole to watch her again!”
“We had very good experience with Shavon. This was the first time we leave our dog behind for a week. Shavon took care of him very professionally.Specially he got a hot spot . She took him to the vet and gave him medication on time. He feels better in 2 days. She keeps sending us photos, videos and all the updates. I highly recommend Shavon's services.”
“Pratheeksha and Nilaykumar were awesome with our cat, making her feel comfortable very quickly. Communication was frequent with updates on her behaviour and photos, putting us at ease that she’s being well-taken care of. Highly recommended and looking forward to using their services again!”
About: I've been looking after pets for over 2 decades. For family, friends and others. I am a former vet tech for 15 years I have 2 of my own dogs. I work from home so I am here all day. I am able to let the dogs out multiple times a day in my fully fenced backyard I love sitting and cuddling and giving attention. My fully fenced backyard ensures that no dog gets out of the yard. My house is very animal friendly.
“Lindsey and her kiddos were amazing! They truly love and care for Murphy and he had such a great time! Definitely would be rebooking with her when we are away again!”
“Rebecca was accommodating to my cat's difficulties in new spaces and had a nice private space where she could hang out. Friendly, kind service, I would definitely recommend Rebecca for boarding :)”
“Wenyu was so good with our dog. She is a senior dog who is very nervous and doesn’t like being separated. Wenyu treated her like his own pet and made sure she was happy and comfortable every day. He sent daily updates and was so easy to communicate with. His own pets are so sweet and gentle and Reese loved them too. I would rebook for sure.”
About: I have extensive experience working with dogs of all ages, helping them adapt to their environment through desensitization and positive reinforcement techniques. I specialize in supporting puppies during their early developmental stages, guiding them in establishing proper potty habits and building a strong foundation for good behavior. In addition, I assist pet owners by providing structured outings that encourage socialization and exposure to new environments. These experiences are especially valuable for dogs learning to remain calm and well-mannered in public settings, including dog-friendly retail spaces. I am currently working full time but i am in and out of the house sometimes gone for 5-6 hours a day. Will be free after 3 pm weekdays most weekdays. Pet care is always number one. I offer a fully fenced yard with a secure 6-foot fence, providing a safe and spacious environment for dogs to play. My friendly pack of well-socialized dogs loves welcoming new companions, making it a great setting for positive interactions and playtime. I can accommodate a variety of needs—dogs can be safely crated if preferred, or enjoy supervised time outdoors on clean, well-maintained artificial turf. In addition to the main yard, I also have crates available and a separate outdoor dog run for added flexibility and safety.
“Marc was excellent with my little Yorkie. She was very recently rescued from an unusual situation and doesn’t act like you might expect a dog to act. She is also still afraid of almost everything and everyone. But she took to Marc right away and he was very understanding of her situation and she obviously enjoyed her stay.”
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals and have been caring for my own dog for the past 5 years. I also occasionally care for friends' and family's pets as well. I am a student, and I work full-time, but I am available on the weekends and in the evenings to walk and care for animals. I have my own dog that will keep your pet company and will be home to play and ensure your pet is cared for as my own.
“Gisele was calm and patient. She was very good for a senior dog with some anxiety. We have used rover before, but our last experience left our pup seeming depressed. Gisele was our last try for this app, and we were not disappointed. Would have her watch our dog again. Thanks Gisele”
“Alyssa was amazing! I was so nervous to meet & greet with her as our one pug can be nippy at new people. We arrived at her house and our pug’s tail was wagging so much! We booked her for one day and our fur babies were well treated. They loved her deck & fenced backyard! Will definitely rebook with her again!!”
“I’ve left Apollo with Karrie twice now and I’m so thankful for her help. She has excellent communication skills and is very flexible when it comes to pick ups and drop offs. Apollo seems to love his time with Karrie and Lily!”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lumsden home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Lumsden
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 dog, 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
