“Jasko had an awesome time with Jacky, Rocio and Abby. We got lots of pics and updates from them. Would recommend them 100% and Jasko cannot wait for his next stay with these guys. Thank you for taking such good care of Jasko ?”
“Very good experience. Aaron sent pictures multiple times every day. Aaron and his family all treat my dog Maple like their own dog. Their dog Shirley is also very nice to let Maple take turns to sit on Aaron’s lap. 😀”
“We were very pleased with the care and updates while we left our pup with Luis. He seemed very comfortable and enjoyed his walks and treats. We will definitely be back when we need a pet sitter. Thank you again!”
“Louise and Jeffery were amazing. They took a good care of Levi. Levi enjoyed his time with them!! Levi had an accident inside their house and they were so understanding and kind about! I can’t wait for Levi’s next visit with them!”
“Yasemin and Daniel were wonderful caregivers to our pup! They sent us pictures and kept us updated on his day while we were away. They took care of him as if he was their own pet. We will definitely use their services again! Thank you!”
“This was our Dog's first time staying with a sitter, and we were honestly nervous about using Rover. We had tried other sitters for a fit, but she never connected with them. With our trip coming up, we found Shelly and her family at the very last minute and didn’t even have time for a meet‑and‑greet. What immediately drew us in was that they had young kids even more than having their own dogs because she absolutely loves children. We knew the transition would be hard for her, but Shelly and her family went above and beyond. They sent us daily updates, were incredibly patient, and gave her the space she needed. Over time, she warmed up and even started going on walks with them after 3days of not going on a walk, She quickly transitioned to 4 walks in a day. Shelly was reassuring throughout, reminding us that given her age, this adjustment was completely normal, and that by her third stay she’d likely be even more comfortable. I would recommend Shelly and her family over and over again.”
“Karen had a lovely way with our dog and he took to her immediately. She followed his care instructions to the letter and Louis seemed very comfortable for his visit. She sent lots of photos of our boys time with her.. Karen was wonderful with Louis and we think he will be very happy to visit Karen for another sleep over.”
“Lisa looked after our dog when we had to fly home at short notice due to a bereavement. Glad we found her, kept in touch from the initial enquiry right through to when we collected him. Milo was well looked after and enjoyed his stay. Would recommend. Thanks again Lisa.”
“Irene took care of our dog Walter for one week while we were out of country. Walter is generally very needed and anxious and I can tell he was well taken care of. She was very attentive and would keep us informed on a regular basis. I would highly recommend her to care for your pooch”
“Lucia is an incredibly thoughtful pet sitter, and her husband is also very nice. She took great care of my dog, sending me pictures and updating me on my dog's daily activities. I felt completely at ease during my trip.”
“Bonnie and her husband were absolutely wonderful with Penny! They took care of her like she was their own pup, providing all of the necessities but also going over and above by playing with her and teaching her new tricks! I also loved the frequent updates along with pictures. Thank you for taking the best care of our pup!”
“Peter and his girls took such great care of our pup! We got lots of pictures and she seemed at home and relaxed! He even played a game of fetch with her! We will definitely leave our Maxi with Peter again!!”
“I don't even know where to begin. I had a family emergency and needed someone right away, Ethan was kind enough to accommodate. He goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is cared for just like his own. His dog Luffy gets along so well with other dogs. Ethan was so wonderful with updates on walks, play, nap, potty breaks and medication time. His videos and pictures are a wonderful touch and really make you feel your pet is loved and taken care of. Would highly recommend Ethan and will definitely be using his services again. Thank you so much Ethan.”
“Lori and Ron were wonderful sitters for Ella. We appreciated their regular updates and photos about what Ella was up to. Lori and Ron took charge of Ella’s medication schedule and made sure that she received her regular doses of arthritis medication. We felt so confident leaving Ella with them and will be booking Ella’s next visit very soon. Thank you Lori and Ron!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have chosen better than Ruth! Ruth is just such a calm, caring person who we know loved our dog like her own. Our dog loves walks and he received nice long ones every day with Ruth. I think our pup was a bit spoiled with Ruth which we truly appreciated. We will choose Ruth again when we need the service and hope she will be available!”
“This was my first time using Dogvacay and my pup's stay at Renee's house went perfectly! She was very accommodating and sent frequent updates/photo's while he was with her! We will definitely keep Renee as a sitter for our pooch in the future :)”
“Our Gryff really enjoys being with Stella - runs up her porch steps all ready to greet her! Thank you for taking such good care of Gryff and being so easy to deal with!”
“Sarah and her partner were amazing and took great care of Oreo. She was happy and well loved. They shared photos and updates which helped us relax when being away. Would definitely return!”

Bronx just got home from a 3 day stay with Melissa and boy oh boy did he have the best time! Melissa really did an incredible job treating Bronx like he was her own. He got all the love, attention, affection and walks he could possibly want and more. Melissa did a great job keep me updated with photos of Bronx and he literally was smiling in every picture. We will absolutely be leaning on Melissa again whenever we are in need for a sitter for Bronx! Thanks, Melissa!!
Our dog Buddy had an amazing 2 week stay with Ethan & family. From the meet & greet I felt confident that Buddy would be looked after really well and would be comfortable and have a happy stay. Ethan surpassed my expectations:) Buddy settled very quickly, Ethan made sure to put Buddy’s needs first and it was great Buddy had the company of Luffy and the other little dogs who visited some days. He loved the big backyard & happily napped & played indoors & outdoors. The daily messages, pictures & videos were really appreciated. I will definitely be checking Ethan’s availability anytime we are away & also future day visits for Buddy to see his friends again is a must. Thank you Ethan
This was the first time I ever boarded my dog, and I am so happy that I selected Aaron. Reggie enjoyed investigating the big backyard, snoozing on the sofa, socializing with some other dogs, and going for neighbourhood walks. I appreciated the regular updates and pics, and the genuine kindness and love that Aaron and his family provided. I have already rebooked Reggie for any upcoming weekend, and also plan to use Aaron in the fall when I am away for a week.
Everything went smoothly, and we had a great experience. We left Indy with Amandeep for two nights, and it looked like he had a wonderful time. We were happy to receive photos of him looking relaxed and content while we were away. We’d definitely recommend Amandeep and would be happy to book with them again!
Gentiana took wonderful care of our Labrador, Poppy, while we were away. From the start, she was professional, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. Poppy came home happy, relaxed, and very well looked after, which gave us complete peace of mind throughout our trip.
We have been so fortunate to have Chong and Bo. We have an older put with extra needs and they have been amazing. Her last stay had an emergency visit to the vet and extra care after. She was so well taken care of that my worries were alleviated. Couldn’t recommend them more!
This was Salvato’s very first overnight boarding experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming, dog-loving family. Diane & Sunny have a lot of experience with dogs - they took the time to understand his routines and followed his care instructions carefully, including feeding his raw diet and being mindful of his barrier & leash reactivity. Diane sent thoughtful photo updates, communicated well throughout his stay, and it was clear they all genuinely cared about making him feel comfortable and treated him like a member of their family. He came home healthy, relaxed, and settled, which was exactly what we had hoped for. Salvato can be a bit more work than the average dog, so finding people we trust is incredibly important. We feel so lucky to have found such a warm, kind, and welcoming family who clearly cared for him as if he were one of their own. We’re very grateful for the attentive care Diane & Sunny provided - Salvato’s first boarding experience couldn’t have gone better and we have complete peace of mind for his longer stay with them next month. Highly recommended!
Pam always takes great care of our golden doodle and sends regular updates. This trip our flights were cancelled and we had to pick our dog up a day late and Pam was extremely understanding and flexible. Thank you Pam for taking such great care of Lilo! Lilo gets so excited when we say she is going to Pam’s!
Paul and Isabelle are amazing! Levi had the best time staying with them. He felt right at home from the moment he arrived and loved playing in their backyard. They kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear he was happy and well cared for. I can’t wait for Levi’s next visit in August. I highly recommend them!
Very grateful to Sharon for keeping good care of our dog Maple for 4 nights. Sharon sent photos and videos of our happy dog and kept us updated on how Maple was settling in. Sharon was able to follow Maple’s special diet, and administer her daily medications. Thank you very much! Highly recommend Sharon for all dog boarding needs.
The best dog boarder. Our dog was on his own vacation with Raquel and her family. He swam in her pool, enjoyed hiking in the park and the companionship of the house dog, Mina. Our dog also enjoyed all the hugs and affection from the family especially, from her husband, Greg who cheered with our dog during the soccer, FIFA matches. Many photos were sent to me during the dog’s stay with Raquel for peace of mind that my dog was well looked after. Highly recommend this loving family.
This is the first time using Rover and wow I picked well. Louise and Jeffrey were absolutely fantastic! My pup suffers with anxiety and they both showed so much love and understanding to her. I had daily communications and photos of how she was doing . My pups first time away from us and she had a wonderful time. I will not hesitate to use Louise and Jeffrey again, it was a brilliant experience from start to finish
I highly recommend Shuxian she takes such great care of Maggie my labradoodle. I have been leaving Maggie since August 2024 . Received daily updates and pictures while away on my two week vacation. Knowing that Maggie is well taken care of means a lot. She misses Chestnut 😊
David is an amazing dog sitter, we will certainly rebook In the future! We received great updates of pictures, videos, and feedback on how our dog was adjusting to the new environment. We felt completely assured that our dog was in the best hands throughout the week, and that he will actually miss being in David’s care, as he had a great week with many experiences during fun walks ⭐️

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oakville 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 Oakville
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:
- 80% 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.
