“Raquel was amazing! She kept us updated with adorable photos throughout the day, and Sage came home happily exhausted after playing with Mina. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Barbara! She is the most genuine, caring, and loving pet person and I knew the moment my dogs met her that they were going to be in the best hands. Barbara takes the time to get to know your pet, their needs and quirks. It’s so comforting to have someone we can trust with our dogs :)”
“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!”
“I cannot speak highly enough of the incredible care my dog received from Louise & Jeffrey while I was away on vacation. From the moment my husband and I dropped off my furry son, I knew he was in excellent hands. Firstly, their backyard is like a doggy paradise — spacious, beautifully landscaped, for endless playtime. Milo absolutely loved it there! What truly sets Louise & Jeffrey apart is their warmth and attentiveness. They treated my dog like their own, showering him with love, walks, and plenty of belly rubs. I felt like my dog was staying with family. One gesture that touched my heart was when they gave my dog a personalized tag for his crate. It was such a thoughtful and sweet touch that showed just how much they care. I returned from my vacation to a happy, healthy, and content pup. I cannot recommend Louise & Jeffrey enough for anyone in need of caring and responsible pet sitters. They are simply the best! Thank you again for taking such great care of my furry family member. You have a customer for life! I would refer them to anyone who wants their dog to be treated like a family member. <3”
“This was our second stay for our dog Maisy with Ethan and we will make sure that Ethan’s home will always be where she stays!!! Thank you Ethan and family 💕 Patty and Maisy💕💕”
“We COULD NOT be happier with Melissa. We had just moved to the area and was a little nervous about finding a new sitter for our girl and searched by highest rated to get her the best care possible. We picked the best and we definitely got it! Melissa is so kind, attentive and sent so many pictures. We are lucky to have found her and absolutely 100% will rebook. A pro!”
“Amanda and Paul were wonderful hosts to Luna, clearly giving Luna what she needed to feel comfortable and at home during the stay. Quick communication and would give check ins throughout the stay. Would highly recommend.”
“Liam sent us daily updates with wonderful pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He tried to maintain the same boundaries we had in our house and responded back whenever I wanted to know her status. Lilly was well taken care of, and we would gladly book with Liam again!"”
“Nofar is the sitter ever!!! very affectionate, assertive and proactive. Our baby boy enjoyed the stay playing and going out all the time, he received lots of love. Nofar sent us photos and videos every day during their walks, Mango, Nofar’s dog is super friendly too, so Santos had an incredible time and didn't miss us🤣 Highly recommended for anyone looking for personalized and safe care; we will always come back with Nofar!!!! It was a seven stars 🤩 experience.”
“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!!”
“My fur baby has had a blast with Sharon and her family these past 18 days. My dog is a little timid around men and Sharon and her hubby embrace the challenge with such gentle love and care for Oreo. I had to extend the stay for another 2 weeks and I have no hesitation to leave my fur baby in the safe care of Sharon.”
“My fur babysitter canceled the night before I was leaving on a retreat. Gentiana responded to my message for help right away! My 2 fur babies were well taken care of and even celebrated a birthday while they were there with one of the other doggies! She made homemade cookies for them and sent lots of pictures so I was assured they were doing well! Thank you so much Gentiana for taking such good care of my babies! 🙏🏼”
“I had an excellent experience with Bonnie as our dog sitter. My dog was truly happy and relaxed the entire time, and I really appreciated the constant updates and photos. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Bonnie!”
“Rafael and his family took really great care of Chia! They sent us photos and videos regularly and her tail was wagging in every single one. We had a great first experience on Rover, and will definitely be booking with Rafael again!”

Lisa and her family welcomed my dog with SO much warmth and excitement — it was instant love! You can tell right away they’re true dog people who absolutely adore what they do. My dog was treated like family, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in amazing hands. I didn’t worry for even a second while I was away! Thank you very much Lisa!!

Nofar sent us photos and videos every day during their walks, Mango, Nofar’s dog is super friendly too, so Santos had an incredible time and didn't miss us🤣 Highly recommended for anyone looking for personalized and safe care; we will always come back with Nofar!!!!

Jacky and Rocio (and Abby) were great with my dog Muffy. I was gone for almost 2 weeks to Europe and my dog had never stayed with a dogsitter before, so I was a bit nervous. Jacky and Rocio did a great job sending me updates and photos. Unfortunately Muffy had some diarrhea while I was gone, and they kept in close communication with me to let me know how she was doing. They even reached out to my vet for advice to make sure Muffy was OK. I would definitely use them again to dogsit in the future!
This was our first time leaving our 2 year old Morkie, Gigi with a dog sitter through Rover. Portia was the perfect choice, as she is very patient and caring which made our dog instantly feel very comfortable when we left her for an overnight stay. Portia’s home is very clean and she kept us updated through text and pictures on how your fur baby is doing. Portia has a very friendly dog, Simba who was very gentle with Gigi and they enjoyed their walks outdoors. Thanks Portia for taking such good care of Gigi.
We are very grateful to Ariana for taking care of our 5 year old golden doodle. He has never been away from home and he was staying for 8 days with Ariana. But he was very active and happy, and was well taken care of. He sure enjoyed the hikes and long walks with her.
Melissa was amazing with my dog. This was the first time I had to leave with someone other than family and I was apprehensive. He also has skin issues due to food allergies. But she put me at ease instantly. And she took absolutely stellar care of my little guy. Many walks, lots of pics, very responsive through the chat. 100% would recommend!
We are so grateful to Bonnie for taking such wonderful care of Benny. Bonnie went above and beyond to make sure Benny felt safe, comfortable, and cared for, and it was clear how much genuine love and attention she gave throughout the stay. Bonnie gave us such peace of mind with her kindness, care, and thoughtful updates. Benny came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would wholeheartedly recommend Bonnie to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies. ❤️
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Salvato’s first longer stay away from us. He’s a big, sensitive boy with a very specific routine, a raw diet and supplements, and he can be reactive on walks - so leaving him for five nights is not something we take lightly. Diane was incredibly thoughtful about following all of his care instructions while also making him feel completely at home. The photo updates honestly made us laugh because he looked so thoroughly spoiled and happy - lounging comfortably, getting lots of cuddles and attention, enjoying the yard and clearly feeling like part of the family. She even managed some challenging distractions with him on walks! By the end of the stay, he looked like he had settled into his own little vacation routine. When we came to pick him up, he seemed almost surprised to see us! What meant the most to me was the peace of mind. I’m usually someone who worries when I’m away, and this was one of the very few vacations where I genuinely felt at ease knowing he was safe, understood, loved and being so well cared for. Being able to relax without constantly worrying about him was an enormous gift. We are incredibly grateful to have found a family we can trust with him and, even more importantly, a place where Salvato himself seems genuinely happy and comfortable. Thank you Diane & Sunny for treating our boy like one of your own. ❤️🐾
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
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!
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!

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:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
