“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! 🤩”
“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.”
“Li was an amazing dog sitter for our Teddy! She always responded very quickly to messages and communicated very clearly. She took care of our dog so well bringing him out on multiple walks and activities daily and updated frequently with pictures. Her house is very clean and dog friendly. I could tell she cared for him like he was her own dog. Definitely recommend using her! We will be using her again if we go on another trip.”
“Susan and Gordon took care of our dog so well and gave him so much love and cuddles! They also send me updates everyday. Really appreciated and will definitely rebook with them when needed.”
“Kelly had been amazing! She responds quickly to messages. I love that she did introduce the other dogs to our Adora one at a time so she does not get overwhelmed. Had given us a rundown of her activities at the end of day. Adora had a great time!”
“Rie is amazing. Bailey was a bit nervous but Rie made her settled within less than half an hour. Rie sent us pictures every day. We could see Bailey’s big smile and played with other dogs. I can tell Bailey likes Rie when we picked up her, and so do I. We will definitely come back in future.”
“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! ♥️”
“My two dogs stayed with Amrit for three days. During the stay, she sent us many daily photos and updates and made sure they were in good hands. She is a great communicator and kept us well informed the whole time. They seemed to enjoy their time with Amrit. Highly recommended!”
“Everything was smooth and went well. Angela was friendly and accommodating. She provided daily updates. She took care of my 2 dogs while I was away and both dogs came home happy. 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.”
“Caroline provided our Henny with the best care. Lots of great updates and easy to communicate with. It feels like Henny had a great vacation of his own with his new friend Oisin. We will book again!!”
“Rogue was so happy to stay with Mira and Charles. The gave great updates every single day, took so many pictures, and provided me with peace of mind. Couldn't ask for better sitters!”
“Would highly recommend Samantha! Our dog Thibault always has a great time when staying with her! Thibault is looking forward to his next stay with Samantha and her family!”
“Watson has stayed with the family twice now and we’ve had a great experience each time. He always comes back happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We really appreciate the updates and the genuine care they show him — it gives us total peace of mind while we’re away for work/travel. We’d definitely book again (already did) and he comes home with very cute treats as a takeaway.”
“Thank you Emily and family for looking after our almost 11month old puppy! We were nervous leaving our boy as it was the very first time with a non-family member but right after our meet and greet I knew our pup would be in great hands! Thanks for the great care and communication. Until next time…”
“We have no words to express how amazing Mimi & Phillip were. They stayed in touch all the time while we were away, sent pictures everyday and they really cared about Nugget wellbeing, they treated Nugget as their own pet. We appreciate the relief that we felt, knowing that they took very good care of Nugget. They went above and beyond to help us. Another bonus is the Nugget connected really well with their dog. I definitely will use them again. And I would recommend them 100%.”
“Hey Jun!! We can’t thank you enough for taking care of our pup this week! We contacted Jun with fairly short notice for an upcoming 6-day stay, and she agreed to do a meet-and-greet with us on the very same day! (Talk about exceptional customer service). As soon as we met Jun, she was amazing with our pup, (and given that she doesn’t have a pup of her own right now, and our guy is a bit of an attention hog), we knew she would be the perfect sitter for us. Jun was extremely communicative with us, completely flexible when our plans changed (a little), and sent us lots of great pictures and videos throughout the stay so we always knew he was getting his exercise, his playtime, and all the love and attention he deserves. . . Such a wonderful experience! If you’re looking for an outstanding sitter who will give your pup PLENTY of LOVE and one-on-one attention. . . Jun is the perfect host! We will DEFINITELY be using her again, the next time we need someone to help us out. Thanks again Jun!! We were happy to be your very first client on Rover, but based on how well (and professionally) you treated us and our pup. . . we know we won’t be your last!! All the best!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter while our pup stayed with him for three weeks. He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, was always easy to reach, and gave us peace of mind knowing our baby was in caring hands. What made the experience especially memorable was the effort he put into celebrating our pup's birthday; he even made him a cake! It was such a thoughtful gesture and meant so much to us. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after, and we came home to a happy, relaxed pup. We’re so grateful for the care and attention he provided and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member.”
“This is my second time sending my pup (Poppy) to Lorena and Mark for boarding. He stayed for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time! I always looked forward to my daily pupdates which included his daily activities and plenty of pictures and videos. Mark even went out of his way to buy food when Poppy ran out. They really go above and beyond to make sure Poppy was comfortable and happy during his stay, plus they treated him like family! My dog adored them and I will definitely be back!”
“We needed a last minute dogsitter to watch our dog Rover for a night and Lucy was super accommodating, responsive and did a fantastic job!! We really appreciated Lucy's updates on how Rover was doing, and knew he was in good hands. Thank you so much Lucy!”

Lushi is the best dog sitter I’ve ever booked for my dog, Bette. You can tell she truly loves caring for animals and is very attentive to their needs. Lushi went above and beyond with her daily detailed updates along with so many cute photos and videos of my dog! I truly appreciated Lushi’s daily notes about her observations of my dog each day and how each day went. It was great to hear and see how Bette was fitting in with Lushi’s family and the other animals in the house - I almost felt like Bette had found a new home! 😂 During my vacation, I had total peace of mind knowing my dog was being well cared for and that she was very happy during her stay. I highly recommend Lushi to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter! Thank you, Lushi!
Amazing experience! Our dog is very high-energy, and can be a challenge to look after, but it wasn't an issue at all for Kelly! She sent us photos regularly of a happy-looking boy! Getting along with other dogs. What more could you ask for. Will definitely be bringing Astro here again.
Laura is an excellent caregiver. Our senior dog (16 yrs old)has only been boarded twice and does not typically take to strangers easily. Laura was excellent with him, kept us informed and was his normal self after his stay. Her residence clearly put pet care at the forefront! I highly recommend her.
We couldn’t have been happier with the care Shaira & Kevin provided for our beagle, Ollie, during our 2-week trip! What initially drew us to them was their experience as dog sitters and the fact they have a beagle of their own. They truly understand the breed, particularly their pack mentality and separation anxiety. To prepare for our trip, we arranged a few doggy daycare visits followed by a weekend boarding stay before our trip. Shaira & Kevin sent daily photos and videos, kept in close contact, and were always available for updates. Their home is thoughtfully set up for dogs & their organized, practical approach to caring for them is impressive. It’s clear they genuinely love what they do. We felt completely confident leaving Ollie in their care & would absolutely book them again. Highly recommend!
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 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!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
sitters in Markham have an average of 12 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
You and your Markham sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
