“We are grateful to have found Andrea to take care of Charlie, our pomchi. She put us at ease from our first meeting and was a wonderful communicator for the entire time we were away. Through pictures, emails and a happy dog when we returned, everything went well. We recommend Andrea and will be in contact with her next time!”
“Absolutely amazing experience for my little Rey who is a firestorm of a Blue Heeler puppy! So good to have the peace of mind that she was so wonderfully taken care of for the week I was away. Audrey and her family sent updates and photos daily so I knew Rey was having a terrific time. Will be using Audrey again next time we need to have a home away from home.”
“Guinness really enjoyed his stay with Kevin and Kayla. He was comfortable with them from the first meet and greet, which made me feel confident in choosing them to care for him while I was away. Communication was great and made my booking super easy. I’ll definitely book again!”
“Kelsey was very friendly, and she provides an excellent place for dogs at her residence . Also very helpful & flexible with scheduling. We look forward to using her again in the near future!”
“Miru had a great time staying with Bianca! She went on hikes and had lots of fun playing with the other dogs Bianca was taking care of. It was clear she was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates. We would definitely book again.”
“Rachel was amazing and so kind to take Milo on short notice but also soo patient with me as I scrambled to get him there and pick him up. I really appreciate her looking after him and he was so happy when I picked him up. He’s much more of a puppy than I realize but Rachel and her family were very kind and used to handling pups with the proper care. Thanks again !!”
“Another great experience with Jena. She's great to work with. Our pup loves spending time with her, and we trust her totally with our little dog. This means we can always rest assured when our pup stays over. We were very lucky on this occasion that Jena was available at short notice. She made a great effort to help us out. Her communication is always excellent. Thanks Jena! See you soon.”
“Kimberly and her family treated Maggie SO WELL! She sent many photos and Maggie was smiling and tuckerd out. I highly recommend having your dog stay with Kimberly and her family. 👍🏼”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”
“They are awesome sitters! They are really receptive to our dogs needs, especially having a dog with separation anxiety. This was our dogs longest stay with them and Cristian and Chinel sent lots of updates. We will keep booking with them and recommending them for dog care!”
“Christine was so kind, responsive and took great care of my dog. She always stayed in touch, communicated, and made sure my dog had a great time. I really appreciate how accommodating she is and how she made sure he is happy. He looked so happy as if he was ready to stay with his new family lol!”
“Erika was the best pet sitter I’ve had so far on rover. She gave constant updates and took the best care of my boy. He was literally trying to run back into the building because he didn’t want to leave ! Her cat is also so cute !”
“Absolutely cannot recommend Criofan enough. Her and her partner made an amazing home away from home for our pup. He has a forever best friend with her sweet pup Albert and was so well taken care of. Perfect experience for us”
“We love Kirsten!! She is definitely one of the best sitters on rover. She was so accommodating with our pickup and drop off requests. Our 1.5year old dog Watson had the best weekend at her place, she was in constant touch with us, kept us updated with photos and I could see that my dog is being handled with lot of love and care. I do hope she can become my go to sitter for Watson.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Shravistha was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always so accommodating. Both she and her husband took amazing care of Alfie and treated her like she was part of their own family. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She always replied to my messages promptly and kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Alfie was happy, comfortable, and truly well cared for. Shravistha is warm, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Knowing Alfie was with her allowed us to completely relax while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“We left our little boy with them for a couple of days, and they did an excellent job. He made a new friend with their dog, looked really happy when we picked him up, and we had good communication throughout. Thank you so much”
“We went to New Zealand for 6 weeks. Alisa looked after Lucy and sent us photos. Alisa communicated often and sent us photo’s of Lucy relaxing in the house, playing with Haiko and going on walks. If I asked any questions, Alisa responded quickly. I knew that Lucy was well looked after, and because of Alisa’s care we were never worried and could enjoy our time away. I will only use Alisa and family in future to look after Lucy. I recommend Alisa highly.”
“Tommy was great with Kelce, very welcoming and accommodated our needs. I would highly recommend Tommy and will definitely use his services again in the future knowing that our girl will be in extremely capable hands. Thank you again for everything ❤️”

Alanna was a clear communicator and quick to respond. She made sure Annie was the right fit for her family with a meet and greet, which gave me peace of mind that everything would go smoothly while I was away. She also updated me with daily photos and summaries of how Annie was doing. I would rebook with Alanna in the future and will recommend her to friends.
Rose was, and continues to be, an absolute gem. From the moment we entrusted Kuma to her care, we knew he was in wonderful hands. Throughout his stay, Rose provided regular updates, photographs, and videos, giving us much-needed peace of mind while we were away. Her honesty, warmth, kindness, and genuine love for animals came through in every interaction. She didn’t simply “watch” Kuma — she welcomed him into her home, cared for him, cuddled him, played with him, and made him feel completely at ease. Perhaps the best review came directly from Kuma himself! When we arrived to pick him up, he greeted us with a few kisses and snuggles…and then promptly turned around and went back inside to continue playing with Misty. We couldn’t have asked for a better sign that he had felt happy, safe, loved, and very much at home. Finding someone you can trust with a beloved member of your family is incredibly important, and Rose gave us complete confidence from beginning to end. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she gave Kuma and would recommend her without hesitation. Five stars simply aren’t enough. Thank you, Rose, for loving our boy so well. Kuma is already looking forward to his next visit with you and Misty!
This was the best decision I have made. Courtney and Ben welcomed Enzo into their home and truly gave him the most amazing g experience. I am very thankful I came across their profile and I hope that Enzo will get to have many more stays with them in the future ! Thank you !!!!
What can I say about Julie and Cody. They are hands the best possible dog sitters i've ever met in my life. My dog is my family and I am very careful with who I leave my dog with. I was away in Mexico for a week and left my Marcus with Julie and Cody. They treated him like family. My dog loved being there! Food ran out, and they went out and got more (the exact brand he eats). They are also such kind people and my dog could sense that. They are super professional and work from home so gave my pup so much attention, he was never alone. Their home is organized and clean! They snuggled with Marcus most nights and walked him a lot! My dog has never been more comfortable. In fact, he didn't want to leave when we picked him up. While taking care of my dog, they gave me daily updates and even sent pictures. Just wonderful. I am very grateful to Julie and Cody and will only be leaving my dog with them from now on. Any dog owner would be lucky to leave their dog with Julie and Coy.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Metchosin 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 Metchosin
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 82% 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.
