“I highly recommend, Xintian!! She took care of our dog like one of her own!! With lots of love and attention, and she also shared pictures daily of our puppy (our puppy boarded for 9 days while we were on vacation) and I didn’t have to worry!! She also follows care instructions to ensure your pet follows the same routine. 5-stars all around! 🤩”

“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.”
“Sam and her parents were great with our two dogs! We felt super safe and secure with them while we were away for over two weeks. We received a lot of video and photo updates. They even took the time to steam some carrots for Melly who has no teeth as a snack! We really appreciated everything they did including the lovely bandanas Sam’s mom made. Thanks so much you guys!! We will reach out again when Melly and Umber need a sitter :)”

I highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter—I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“My dog was with Caroline for 10 days. He was excited to see me, but was prepared to stay with her, where he has a vacation as good as mine. I love leaving him with Caroline, because I know he is not only safe and fed, but loved by Caroline and her own dog.”
“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! ♥️”

I really appreciate all the pictures she sent throughout the entire time my dogs were with her. I would love to re-hire her for my next vacation, if she's willing and available when the time comes.”
“Zeus had another wonderful stay with Mark and Lorena for a week! They treat him like royalty, bringing him to the dog park and giving him a bath (which, by the way rarely happens at home-lol). He always makes new friends with the other pups staying there and I always get such adorable pupdates!! Zeus always makes himself at home within two minutes of being there and Mark and Lorena really treat him like family! We’re boarding him again in August and I have no hesitation recommending them to family and friends!”

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!!
Henry had a wonderful week with Susan, Gordon and their family. We could not have asked for more. Susan took care of his meds, baths and special diet related to allergies. He had a total blast in their backyard oasis along with Chelsea and their grandchildren coming and going. He is home now and out cold following his full-on staycation. Thank you Susan and family.
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.
I cannot recommend Brant enough! He took such amazing care of Yoshi and treated him like family. I loved receiving photo updates of him looking so happy, relaxed, and bonding together. It is clear that Brant truly understands and loves dogs. I felt completely at ease leaving Yoshi here and will absolutely book again!
Having just moved to the area and knowing no one, we were nervous to leave our 3 fur babies. Lushi proved that all fears were unwarranted. She could not have been more wonderful to our pups or communicative with us. We will definitely be joining her many other returning costumers.
We had an amazing experience! From the moment we dropped off Sugar and Snow, we knew they were in great hands. We received pictures and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they were being cared for with genuine love and attention. Sugar and Snow came home happy, relaxed, and well looked after. We’re incredibly grateful for the excellent care and communication throughout our trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!
Laura was an amazing pet sitter. I couldn’t be more happier with her service and care for my girl Ruby. She went above and beyond to ensure Ruby’s stay with her was as fun and comfortable as possible and would highly recommend her as a sitter to anyone. I would also be contacting her again without a doubt in the future if I need a sitter for Ruby again
Would highly recommend Samantha! She took amazing care of our dog Thibault and he was all smiles the whole drive home when we picked him up. Samantha kept us up to date with many photos and videos throughout the day as well. We are planning to book with Samantha again!
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.
