“This was Louie’s 2nd stay with Xintian and her family. He was happy to be dropped off at her house again, and was treated with kindness and care. This is a huge help to us, as we have peace of mind when we are away. We will definitely reach out to Xintian again in the future!”
“We recently left our dog Mylo with Hao for a week, for the first time. Mylo came back home happy, energetic like he had gone to his second home. Hao is reliable and responsive. He kept us updated with photos throughout the boarding and it gave us peace of mind that Mylo was in good hands and enjoying himself. We will definitely return to Hao for future boarding. Thank you Hao for boarding Mylo.”
“Liz was absolutely wonderful. She took in our Obi for 9 days aa we were in a pinch. We are so happy to have found her. Obi was very happy and in turn we were also feeling very comfortable. Liz sends pictures regularly and provides updates. Obi learned to be more social under her care :)”
“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!! 🐾❤️”

“I have always had an awesome experience with Diana and Kristoffer for Rio. He absolutely loves it there and comes home tired at the end of the day, sleeping like a baby. Highly recommend!”
“I left my 2 year-old female Maltipoo Charlie with Cicicici for 10 days while I was away. I have nothing but great things to say about Cicicici. She sent me pics and videos every night and kept me updated. Charlie loved being there. I will definitely leave Charlie with Cicicici if I have to go away again.”
“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.”
“Samantha gave us tons of updates and treated our dogs like her own. We felt greatly reassured that the dogs were in good hands with her, and her family. We would definitely rebook with Samantha”
“Amrit took amazing care of my dog, Barney, for a full week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Barney had an incredible time—lots of play, attention, and care. I got regular updates, and it was clear he was happy, well-exercised, and treated like part of the family. I highly recommend Amrit to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

Can't thank her enough for the stress free 2 weeks she provided us!”

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 !
I had to go on a longer trip and found myself in need for leaving my puppy behind. You can imagine the stress for both Kaya and I having to be separated for the 1st time since we found eachother. Eventually I came across Rover and Xiangwen's profile. It all seemed good on paper but I won't lie, this being the 1st time I had my doubts. All the doubts instantly started being a thing of the past once we started communicating. She's very attentive, great communicator and all the pictures and photos showed me I left my pup in great care. I'm sure Kaya will miss you. Thank you for being so good to Kaya!
Tyson stayed with Iris for 3 days, she provided lots of updates and photos. Took him for lots of walks and made him feel at home. She kept our schedule for feeding and bathroom breaks. Very happy and will definitely have her look after Tyson when needed. Highly recommend if you to need to leave your pet for a few hours or days.
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.
Lushi is an absolute godsend! Leaving our fur baby for a few weeks for the first time was so hard for us, but Lushi completely restored our faith in pet sitters and gave us total peace of mind the entire time. She is caring, incredibly knowledgeable, and treats every animal with a mother's love. She’s truly a dog mama! Every single day, she sent us detailed updates filled with so many wonderful photos and videos, keeping us completely reassured while we were away. She even went above and beyond by picking up medication refill too. Lushi did everything she possibly could to make us comfortable and keep our doggy happy, and it's clear she is truly in her element when caring for animals, so positive and light. I honestly don't have enough words for how amazing she is, if you are ever nervous or worried about leaving your fur baby, we would recommend her to anyone a million times over! Thank you Lushi and family ❤️
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.

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
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
