“I chose Liz as my sitter the fist time I used Rover and will always choose her. She is fantastic and she updated me about my puppy's stay with lovely pictures. For sure, I will choose her next time if I need.”
“Very happy with the daily updates from Lushi. Personally I like there were other dogs with Luna and she got along with them. I would have no issues using Lushi again to look after Luna.”
“Our dog Flash loves spending time with Hao and his family. They treat him like he’s part of their family. Hao sends plenty of pictures and videos to keep us updated. I also really appreciate that after spending extended boarding days, Flash doesn’t return home with bad behavior habits. Thanks Hao for taking care of our pup!”
“Nori always has a great time with Kelly and her family! She is great about responding quickly when I message to check up, and I feel confident and comfortable with her care so I can fully enjoy my trips! Nori looks forward to seeing you soon again!”

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would give like a million 🫶🏼 Samantha and her family took such good care of Melo, and I was so happy to know that he was in safe hands. She always updated me even though I could barely reply while I was out of the country. She is amazing!! Would go back a million times more!”
“We are very happy with Xintian and the way our dog was taken care of. We received updates along the day and were able to communicate with Xintian in real time. This was the first time for our dog at Xintian’s and we were very pleased with the experience. Very accomodating and helpful. Thank you for taking such good care of Coco!”
“Rie kindly kept us updated and shared thoughtful feedback about how our fur baby was doing while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands, surrounded by the loving care Rie provides to all the dogs she looks after.”
“Our dog Moose is 6yrs old and this was his first time away from us, so naturally we were a little nervous. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Xiangwen was amazing and kept us updated throughout Moose’s entire stay with lots of photos and videos. Seeing how happy and comfortable he was made us feel so much more at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We’re incredibly happy with the care, attention, and love Moose received. We will definitely be booking with Xiangwen again, she is amazing!! 🐾❤️”
“Patricia is awesome. She came to my rescue when I had flooding in my house and needed my dog to be looked after. She came right away picked up my dog and kept him for almost a week while I dealt with the mess. I truly appreciated her help and her support. Thank you Patricia!”
“Jin took excellent care of our little dog, Boba. We were initially anxious about leaving her behind but we appreciated how Jin sent us an update and photos immediately after drop off to let us know that our fur baby was settling down nicely. This gesture put our minds at ease and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Additionally, Jin sent us updates and photos multiple times a day. Honestly, Boba may have looked happier in Jin's care than ours. She was smiling brightly, asking for belly rubs, hanging out with Muffin (Jin's dog), and frolicking in the backyard.”
“Angela is absolutely wonderful with our pup Wesley! He loves visiting with her and her sweet dog, Quentin and always looks forward to his trips to see them. Thank you, Angela!”

They sent lots of updates throughout the day and were great at communicating. I will definitely re-book with them if I need to! Thank you Jacky and Yunn for your fantastic boarding experience and for not minding all of Pekoe's snoring (and all the other noises he makes haha) :)”

“I can’t thank Yue enough for taking such wonderful care of Ella for three days! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such kind and capable hands. Yue kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, and it was clear Ella was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. It’s not always easy leaving your pet with someone else, but Yue made the whole experience stress-free. She was attentive, responsible, and truly treated Ella like her own. I highly recommend Yue to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter — we’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you thank you! ♥️”

Xiangwen boarded our two dogs with ease and kept them so active they slept the whole way home! One of our dogs is a little more sensitive and barky than the other, and Xiangwen handled it with no problems, taking them to the dog park and tiring them both out. I'll definitely be booking Xiangwen again. She sent lots of videos and stayed connected the whole time - and it was a treat to see the dogs having so much fun with her.
Iris and her partner took excellent care of Sora, our one year old mini dachshund. She was extremely responsive via text and sent daily updates of how Sora was doing, including pictures and videos. I would strongly recommend Iris for boarding dogs and overall dog care!

We were initially anxious about leaving her behind but we appreciated how Jin sent us an update and photos immediately after drop off to let us know that our fur baby was settling down nicely. This gesture put our minds at ease and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Additionally, Jin sent us updates and photos multiple times a day.

We are repeat customers for boarding at Amrit’s home . You can leave the province stress free knowing that your pet will be very well cared for . She lives in a pet friendly location is easy to communicate with and gives detailed updates including photos . It crossed my mind to gatekeep Amrit to myself lol . I think that speaks volumes for anyone looking for a sitter :) Thank you Amrit for taking such great care of Charlie once again !
Would definitely recommend others to book with Claire as we were very happy with the care she provided for the time our doggie spent there. Claire took time to update us throught the stay and provide pictures and the occasional video. She has smaller dogs and this made our dog feel very comfortable as as she is on the smaller side as well. She is very caring and we will definitely book in the future again.
I highly recommend Ashley and Eric! They watched our dog Milo for two weeks and from the very first day, we knew he was in the best possible hands. Ashley & Eric sent us regular photo updates and fun messages that completely put our minds at ease while we were away. Milo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly so well cared for. It’s hard to leave your furry family member behind, but they made the whole experience worry-free. We will definitely be booking with them again!
Hefeng watched our two dogs while we were away, and we had a wonderful experience! We had a meet-and-greet beforehand, and our dogs took to her right away. She provided us with regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Hefeng and would happily have her watch our dogs again!
Winnie and Pete were so great to our elderly Bernese Mountain Dog, Archie. They thoroughly took the time to understand his quirky personality and schedule. They were also very communicative and sent daily updates and photos. From the photos, I could tell Archie was happy, safe and generally in good hands from the moment he was dropped off until we picked him up a week later. I highly recommend them!
Liz did a great job looking after our puppy! This was our dog olive’s first time being watched by someone other than us and it seems as though she had a great stay. Liz constantly sent pictures keeping us updated on how she was doing, how much she was eating and how she was getting along with other dogs. It was really nice to have those updates throughout the days we were away from our puppy as it gave us the reassurance we needed to have a good time being away. We would definitely recommend Liz and next time we need a sitter, we would definitely consider booking with Liz again. Thank you!!
Monique was an excellent sitter for my dog Kingston. He stayed over for a night and the whole time her was there I got lots of pictures and updates. She made sure Kingston was always happy and comfortable. I could tell he really felt as home as he relaxed settled pretty quickly. When he came home he was calm and happy - the way I like it when he comes home from another’s care. I also appreciated how she was thorough during our meet and greet to make sure she really got to know him and the ensure that he would be a good fit. I could also tell that safety was her number one priority for the dogs that would be under her care. I will definitely be using her services again! Thank you Monique for taking such great care of Kingston.

- 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

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 .
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 .

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
