“Yu-Pei was very attentive to Bella’s needs and kept us updated throughout our time out of town. Bells came home her same old self, clearly having gotten her exercise and her routines maintained. We’ll be sure to book again.”
“Andy & Rose were amazing and made us feel worry free knowing our dogs we're having fun and taken great care of. They had no problem with our dogs feeding and walking schedule too and gave us frequent updates and pictures😊.”
“Moose stayed with Lushi and her family for 7 days while I was away on vacation. Lushi was absolutely amazing! I loved the photos and updates and I could relax on my vacation with the peace of mind that Moose was being well taken care of. Moose had plenty of fun with his new friends…it seemed like he didn’t want to come home! I really appreciated the care Lushi showed taking Moose on walks, hikes, and giving him plenty of love! I would recommend Lushi to anyone!”
“Susan and her family are very experienced and caring dog sitters. Really appreciate her updates, how she helped us with flexible timelines and took great care of our dog.”
“Had peace of mind with Ragnar staying with Bo. He was so happy. I got lots of pictures and updates. Bo took his time to discuss how Ragnar’s time was with him at pick up. Overall happy dog mom and happy dog!”
“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!! 🐾❤️”
“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.”
“We met Patricia on a meet and greet prior to booking and Rusty was very happy in her company and we felt very comfortable leaving him. We booked and on return saw Rusty having his walk and he was extremely content. We recommend Patricia and will definitely leave Rusty again.”
“Thanks for taking my pup at the very last minute (within the hour!) and over a holiday. We were traveling, staying in a nearby hotel and needed a short term pet sitter to attend the nutcracker ballet. Loved the photos and video thank you again”
“Sure! Here’s a polished version of your review: ⸻ We had an amazing experience with Xin as our dog sitter! She took Gizmo and Lilo for the weekend and even brought them along on a fun camping trip. She kept us updated with tons of photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. The pups came home happy and tired — a sure sign they had a great time! Xin went above and beyond by accommodating a drop-off at our home when we ran into car trouble. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful sitter. Thank you, Xin!”
“Tijung and Licheng were very kind and helpful, Desmond had a great time staying with them. Even though he nervous peed during his first night with them, Tijung and Licheng were accomodating and helped him feel more at ease. I would reach out to them for boarding again.”
“Amy was amazing with my dog! My senior dog has many special needs and requires a lot of attention, but Amy made her feel completely comfortable and well cared for. She paid close attention to every detail of my dog's behavior and treated her with so much love and kindness. I cannot recommend Amy enough—she is truly wonderful, and I will definitely ask her to watch my dog again.”
“Caroline is the best. She loves my dog, who loves her and her dog too. Simber races to greet her, and runs into her house when we arrive. It's so reassuring to know that my dog is having a wonderful time, when I am gone.”
“Our meet and greet went very smoothly, and Filli appeared very happy in his photos. When he returned, he also seemed to have enjoyed his stay with Fabiola. Thank you very much!”
“Thank you Emily, Ling and family for making Lilo’s stay comfortable and for welcoming her into your home! She loved her stay and enjoyed being part of your family while we were away!”
“Lyle took amazing care of our German Shepherd puppy, Chase. From the beginning, communication was excellent, and we received regular updates and photos throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Chase was treated like part of the family and received lots of love and attention. We came home to a happy, relaxed puppy and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Lyle again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: I have raised my own Standard Poodle from puppyhood, giving me firsthand experience with puppy care, training routines, socialization, and daily exercise. have experience looking after puppies, including potty breaks, crate routines, feeding schedules, basic leash walking, and lots of playtime. I work from home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available 24/7 to provide attentive care. This allows me to give pets plenty of companionship, regular potty breaks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and a dedicated indoor pet area where dogs and cats can rest, play, and feel comfortable. The environment is clean, calm, and pet-friendly.
“Great service. Very friendly. Great communication. Experienced. Took incredible care of my dog. Absolutely wonderful. This was my first time using this site and so far its been a great experience. I would definitely use this for my dog again. Amd the greatest part is she lived right around the corner for me.”
About: We crate-trained our Shiba Inu since puppyhood with patience and walked him to release the energy so well until he became famous of his gentleness among our neighborhood. He likes to make friends with other dogs and to play with them. I am working for my own project with freedom of time arrangement, while my wife takes most of time working from home during the weekdays, so we have flexibility to take dogs for walk during mornings, evenings and even nights before bedtime. Sometimes we go to dog park or trails nearby if your dog just has a bored day. Our condo unit is cozy enough with a large living room with giant carpets on the floor, so the pets can run around and play safely on soft and cozy ground. We do also have a large balcony with high glass fence as extended play area for larger dogs.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Markham is $50

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.
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.
I am so happy and content with how Venus took care of Ash, my 4 month old kitty. It is my first time owning a cat and hence my very first time to trust someone and leave for vacation. Venus did an amazing job taking care of my kitty- which included alot of play time on top of feeding and cleaning litter. I was updated daily with pictures and videos atleast 4-5 times in the day. I will definitely rebook her again. My kitten came back relaxed from a vacation too 😁
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!!

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 pet, 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
