“Barbara took excellent care of Pepper with long walks, cuddles and time to be off leash in her backyard (which he loves but seldom gets as our yard isn’t fenced.) She sent us regular pictures, too. Barbara has a quiet, loving manner and I would highly recommend her as a caregiver for your fur baby. Thank you, Barbara.”
“Luis is fantastic. Quick to respond, very accommodating, great with my pup, and sent plenty of photos and videos to keep me updated. I’m very comfortable knowing my dog is in good hands.”
“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!”
“Baylee had a fantastic time with Mina, Raquel and family. She was so well taken care of she didn’t want to leave at pick up time! Raquel sent photos throughout Baylee’s stay so I always knew she was comfortable, safe and happy. This was a 10/10 experience and Baylee will be back for another stay in the future!”
“A fantastic sitter! I cannot recommend them enough. Daisy is a little hesitant with people outside of the family but she was thrilled to be back with Ethan. I personally also love the photos and videos he sends over regularly.”
“Lisa and her family were very welcoming. It was our first time using Rover, and we are extremely satisfied. If you’re looking for someone that will go above and beyond, and treat your dog as their own, look no further. Will book with Lisa again, guaranteed!”
“Chong and Bo are the best! They treat Maple as if he were their own, giving him snacks, playing with him, and taking him on long walks. The best part is they provide lots of updates every day with great videos and photos.”
“BOOK WITH AMANDA AND PAUL!! If you are stressed about leaving your dog, now you do not have to worry. Amanda and paul provide a great place where you do not have to stress about leaving your furry friend. They are great with communication and provide fast updates. Nothing negative at all to say. Our dog loves families so it was great to have a family where he can feel at home. Will definitely use them again.”
“If I could give Rommel and his family more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. From the moment I dropped Adonis off, it was clear he wasn’t just being watched, he was being genuinely loved. The whole family got involved: walks, backyard playtime, cuddles and they treated him like he had always been a part of their home. Rommel sent multiple photo and video updates every single day, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. But what really blew me away was when Adonis ran out of treats, Rommel went out and bought more without a second thought. That kind of care and initiative isn’t something you can teach, it just shows the type of person he is. I came back to one happy, well-loved dog, and that says everything. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and not just a booking, Rommel is your person. We will absolutely be coming back. Highly, highly recommend.”
“Melissa was really great to work with. Our PWD is very shy and can be anxious but Melissa put her at ease right away. It was a great experience and I would recommend Melissa to any other dog owner.”
“I boarded my 2 year old dog Cyrus with Aaron while I travelled for a wedding. I was very happy with how Cyrus was cared for, and received lots of pictures and communications while I was away. Aaron's house has a lovely, secured backyard, Cyrus also had his own dedicated space for sleeping. Overall I can tell that Aaron loves dogs and I will definitely rebook with him in the future, either for doggie daycare or boarding. Highly recommend.”
“We have used Sophie a number of times. Not only does our dog love her and her family, we are confident with the love and care he receives. We highly recommend Sophie!🐶”
“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!"”
“Thank you James and your cute daughters for looking after Milo! You have made us feel so comfortable leaving Milo with you and we appreciate the updates and the wonderful pictures you sent. We will definitely be bringing Milo back for more stays.”
“Ceny and her Beautiful Family were So Wonderful with Charlie our 13 year old golden doodle. They were so loving with Charlie and her daughter was so sweet as well, she loved giving him treats and helping her Mom take good care of our boy 🤗🙏💗 Ceny was wonderful with communication and letting me know how he was doing and sent me many cute pictures and even videos of Charlie having Fun with his new little Family 🤗💗 I am very grateful to have Ceny and her beautiful Family to care for our Dog Charlie. I hope he can stay with this Wonderful Family again on our next Holiday . Thanks Again Ceny we look forward to seeing you next time. 🤗💗🙏 Deanna and Charlie 🐶🐾🦴”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on foster experience across all kinds of dogs (and kittens) and have a bachelor degree in animal sciences. In my family we say the bigger, the better - more to love! My dog, Mango (f, neutered) is incredibly friendly and always looking for a playmate, so your pup will have great company here. I also have cats at home, so dogs just need to be non-reactive to cats (they won't be bothered at all). Since I work from home, I'm around about 90% of the time, which means lots of attention, walks, and playtime. Honestly, for me this is just an excuse for more hugs and kisses: do realize your dog will be spoiled to the max! I work from home every day with very few meetings, so I'm around and available almost all the time. My only regular time away is about an hour for the gym, and I plan pet care around that so your dog is never left alone for long. I have an outdoor space for your dog to enjoy, and I use long lead cables so they can run around safely even without a fence. For dogs who'd love more room to roam off-leash, I also visit fenced dog parks nearby. I have a separate room available, but I prefer dogs stay close to me rather than sleeping alone at night, so your pup will always have company.
“Stella helped us when we needed to take an emergency trip and we couldn't be more thankful. Our dog is very fearful which is not always the easiest to care for when you haven't had the opportunity to get to know her first. Stella was incredible, made us feel so comfortable, and helped our girl come out of her shell. Could not recommend her highly enough”
“Our dog Hudson was well taken care of! We were very happy that he enjoyed his stay with Amy. She sent us periodic updates on how he was getting along which was helpful, as we could tell he was being well cared for. We would feel very confident for him to be looked after by her again on our next vacation.”
“Lihua and Haoshu took amazing care of our dog Choco, who we boarded, and our cat, Zack, who we booked drop in visits for. Lihua and Haoshu are super friendly, responsible, and all around caring animal-lovers 🥰 They followed instructions and schedules amazingly for both of our pets, and sent us detailed updates with lots of photos and videos of our babies to give us peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend them if you want pet sitters that love your pets like they are their own!!❤️🙌😊😊”

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. ❤️
I had the absolute pleasure of having Melissa B. look after our dog, Zoro, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Melissa is much more than just a professional dog sitter. She is genuinely passionate about what she does, and that passion shows in the incredible love, care, and attention she gives to the dogs she looks after. Zoro had an amazing time with her and was extremely well taken care of. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands, and judging by the photos and updates we received, I think he was even a little spoiled! 😊 I highly recommend Melissa B. to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. I would absolutely work with her again, and Zoro would definitely be very happy to see her again too!
Aaron was great and took amazing care of our puppy Binou. He was very happy and got to play with other dogs and we got videos and pictures daily. Binou also had a little stomach bug (from eating something he shouldn’t while at home) and Aaron was great about giving medication and providing tailored meals for him. I would highly recommend Aaron.
Ariana was amazing with our dog Toboggan! We were nervous leaving him because he's a fearful rescue dog who is very wary of strangers. He has never been away from us since we adopted him (and he's a big and strong boy!), but the energy she gives off is just what he needed. She was very kind and gentle with him, and let him warm up to her at his own pace. My anxiety of leaving him was lifted when she sent me updates and videos of the two of them and I could see that he was doing so well! When I went to pick him up, he seemed so calm and comfortable around her which was so nice to see. I can tell that Ariana has a lot of knowledge about dog body language and how to act around them, and I am very thankful for the care she gave Toboggan. We will definitely ask her to dog sit for us again!
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!
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

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.
