“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!”

“Sarah is amazing. We have left our furbaby with her and her family twice now and have nothing but praise for them. Daily communication with pics, updates, and best of all, he is happy while with them. We trust her 100% with our Norman.”

“It makes me so happy to see how much Zya adores Tanis and her daughter. They’re both wonderfully kind and patient, and it truly feels like a second home for my pup. I always know she’s in the best hands with Tanis, such peace of mind!”

“Charlotte was exceptional during our vacation in tending to my little Jasper. I received at least one update daily and kept in touch often throughout the week. Jasper was so spoiled I wasn’t sure if he would want to come home 😂 Ruger is also the best big buddy for even my 12lb pup, and was so happy to have another dog to keep him busy! Feels going having a reliable sitter here in a new city for us 😊”

“Nicole was the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had! She was amazing with our dog who has lots of senior dog/small nervous dog issues. Great communication and very reliable and flexible. Would 100% book again.”

“Shavon took wonderful care of our Rory. We could focus on our trip because we knew Rory was in good hands. She was also very flexible with timing. Will definitely use her services again.”

“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!!”

“We will definitely be booking with them again. Pratheeksha and Nilaykumar were kind & responsive to any questions I asked, and gave each of our 2 cats the attention and support they needed. I deeply appreciated the consistent updates with photos of our cats and notes about their behaviour and activities throughout each day. Our cats enjoyed exploring their generous space and entertaining wide window. One of my cats didn’t even want to leave! He had so much fun playing with them. They were even so patient, kind & accommodating when he woke them up throughout the first night for attention. Even my other skittish cat felt comfortable enough to explore their space. You just cannot get this level of care & attention and this much space with most cat hotels or animal hospitals. Highly recommend.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about John & Lynda. My dog, Nova, is usually quite anxious when I leave town, but from the moment we met John & Lynda, I could tell Nova was going to be in good hands. Throughout Nova's stay, John & Lynda sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing she was happy and comfortable. It was evident that John & Lynda treated Nova as if she were their own, providing her with plenty of love. When I returned, Nova was relaxed and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed her time with John & Lynda. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!”

“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 :)”

“Rebecca is very nice and helpful. Our dog is first time boarding and very shy at the beginning. Rebecca took care of him very patient and carefully. Our dog is getting better when we back to town.”

“Gus had a great time at Charmaine’s! We loved getting pictures every evening and an update about his day. He even got a report card at the end of his stay. We would definitely send him to Charmaine’s again in the future.”

“We recently boarded our cat with Ruth for a week and we could not be happier with her service. She took phenomenal care of Blue and provided us with multiple daily updates and pictures of our boy. I really cannot say enough good things about how Ruth handled our cat. 10/10 service. We will definitely be contacting Ruth again in the future when we need a sitter.”

“Our puppies enjoyed their stay with Lindsay and family! While they were very happy to see us return, you could tell they loved and enjoyed their weekend. Thanks for keeping them safe and well cared for!”

“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.”
“Wenyu and his partner are wonderful people who took great care of my dog, Rex. We met at the park for a visit prior to confirming the booking to ensure it was a good fit, and it was clear immediately that it was. After five days away Rex was his normal self. I would not hesitate to book again.”

“I was very appreciative with the ease of setting up a meet & greet and that Alyssa went above and beyond to make daily house visits to check in on my cat on top of taking care of my dog. I also loved the amount of pictures that were being sent. Very pleased and will definitely book with Alyssa again.”

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.
