“Our dog Macaroon was well taken of and had a wonderful time staying with Hao. Hao kept us up-to-date with pictures/videos every day, and we had complete peace of mind during our vacation.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jessie and Joseph. From the very first meeting, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. Throughout the time they cared for him, I received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how his day was going. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was not only being well looked after, but also loved and entertained. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about dogs, I highly recommend Jessie and Joseph.They treat your pup like family, and that’s the best gift a pet parent could ask for.”
“This was our first time leaving our toy poodle, Teddy, with a sitter, and we had a great experience with Liz. She sent daily photos and videos, was very responsive to messages, and answered all our questions quickly. Liz was also flexible with timing, which we really appreciated. Teddy seemed happy and well cared for, and when we picked him up, he was healthy and cheerful. Thank you, Liz; we’ll definitely be back!”
“Umber and Melly were in great hands with Sam and her family. Sam was super responsive and kept us updated with lots of videos and photos throughout the day. Sam and her family are very attentive and when we picked up the dogs at the end of the day, they were both so calm and peaceful 😌.”

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! ♥️”

We received many videos and pics of Kiki’s stay and he was pampered and had a very good time playing with Charmaine’s dog Luna. It was comforting to know Kiki was in good hands. I trust Kiki in Charmaine and her husband care.”
“Diana and Kris did an excellent job. They took good care of our toy poodle Luca who is an active dog and likes to be the centre of attraction. Diana went above and beyond because she was able to teach some tricks to Luca. They consistently sent photos and videos while we were away for 4days and kept us informed about Luca’s well being. It really gave us peace of mind because she was comfortable with them specially with their kids. We were so fortunate to have found a reliable pet sitter for Luca. We highly recommend them!”

Cici sent me cute photos and videos regularly that I’m not worried about Mika at all and could feel how happy she was.

“I recently sent my dog Blue for an overnight onboarding with Emily, who is a dog sitter, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with the care and attention provided by Emily and her family. Initially, Blue was a bit nervous and not doing well, but Emily took the initiative of sending us pictures of Blue getting comfortable in her house, which was reassuring. Throughout our vacation, Emily promptly sent the updates, which helped us stay informed. Emily and her family played with Blue at the park. When we went to pick up Blue, she was so happy and content that she even said goodbye to Emily's family before getting into the car. I highly recommend Emily's dog-sitting services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their furry friend. Thank you, Emily and family!”

Brant was incredibly attentive and kind. Bailey loved staying with him and his two huskies! He kept us updated with lots of photos and made sure Bailey got plenty of exercise.

We had a great first time experience with Mark and Lorena! They are amazing and kind people who know exactly what they’re doing to put our minds at ease when leaving our doggo for a few days. They constantly updated us with photos and videos throughout the stay. Our dog came back happy and relaxed and looked like he had a blast staying with them. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again!!

Susan and Gordon are such sweet, lovely, and caring people. They took amazing care of our Hugo, and kept us updated daily with messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away.

Oreo and Oslo recently stayed with Janice for almost two weeks, and they had a wonderful time. She kept me updated every day with photos, videos, and messages, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. The dogs came home happy, clean, fluffy, and clearly very well cared for, despite the rainy weather during their stay. I could tell they received lots of attention and affection. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Janice again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Markham 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 Markham
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. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
