“I'm so grateful for Louise and Jeffrey who take great care of Archie, who can be a bit needy and anxious at times. They make him feel loved and I couldn't ask for a better family to leave him with.”
“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.”
“Barbara took incredible care of Peaches for almost a month while we were overseas visiting family. I felt confident that Peaches was happy and well taken care of and didn’t have a single worry! Thank you Barbara for keeping me updated and taking such good care of her!”
“I definitely will bring my dog back to Raquel. Picking him up after a week’s vacation I was amazed he had no stress symptoms from excessive licking, nail biting etc…. Sully obviously felt safe was happy and well cared for. As a Service Dog separation can be very difficult for us both. I’m positive Sully gives Raquel a 5⭐️ too.”
“Great experience with Luis! it was our first time trying Rover and we were a bit apprehensive as he was just 13 months old. Not only did he have a great time, he was quite shocked to see us pick him up 3 days later. We almost felt that he didnt want to come back. True testament to the way Luis treats them, just like children. Wouldnt hesitate to go back to him when i need dog sitting next!”
“My husband and I couldn’t be happier to have stumbled upon Natalie in a pinch. We were in a desperate situation where we needed to find someone to watch our cat Storm while on vacation. We didn’t want to just leave him with anyone as he was new to our family. Natalie made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met her. We can tell her and her husband are such animal lovers. They truly care for the pets that they watch. She sent us photos and videos of Storm to keep us updated and we could tell how much fun he was having! We even joked that Storm won’t want to come home after spending 11 days with her. We are so happy to have found her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter”
“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.”
“Chong and Bo clearly spent a lot of time getting my dog exercise and care while looking after her. My dog was very happy when I picked her up and very sleepy when I picked her up which are all very positive signs. Plenty of space in their backyard and spent plenty of time on long walks with her. I would be more than happy to leave my dog in their care in the future.”
“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.”
“Lisa and family were so wonderful. They were the perfect fit for our puppy Ruby! Lisa shared photos and updates throughout the weekend. Ruby had many walks and enjoyed the company of all family members! It was so nice to be able to go away and know our pup was in such great care. We’ll definitely book Lisa again.”
“Aaron is the first person I contact to watch my dog Cyrus whenever I’m traveling. I always get lots of pics and assurance that Cyrus is having a good time and getting what he needs from his medicine to fresh air outside.”
“Pamela was wonderful with our two pups while we were away. They settled in nicely (maybe a little too nicely) and she cared for them as if they were her own. We have never left our dogs with anyone, so we were anxious but Pamela put our mind at ease. I know they had a blast, they came home exhausted and happy ? Thank you for taking such good care of Ovi and Finnegan.”
“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.”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Amanda & Paul. Their home is very spacious, and the surrounding area is quiet and lovely. They paid close attention to the things I mentioned beforehand and handled A-ge’s independent personality very well. I really appreciated the care and understanding they showed. A-ge came home relaxed and well cared for. I’d be happy to book with them again.”
“Amandeep made our dog Alaska feel very comfortable in her home and gave her lots of attention and hugs! She checked in with us every day and sent us photos/videos so that we could see how our fur-baby was doing. Thank you so much for being such a great boarder for Alaska! We will definitely be seeing you again!”
“Amy is a wonderful sitter, went away for a week and had no concerns about leaving Molly. Amy provided regular updates and I know Molly was treated like a part of the family. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Our first time dog boarding with Yuen and she seemed like a really kind person and our dog took to her immediately. We got regular updates from her and I hope she will board Gryff again regularly!”
“Coco had a wonderful time with Angela and her family. She looked after Coco as if she was her own. We feel very grateful for finding someone like Angela to look after Coco. We will definitely be using Angela's services again. Thank you!”

During our summer holiday we left our little Lola with Hark and her family. Hark gave us regular videos and photos and kept in touch with us through text. The videos were wonderful showing us the friendship which was blooming between Harks dog Bailey and Lola. They really hit it off. There were many other dogs there and regular treat times. We will definitely book Hark again and feel comfortable knowing Lola is happy there and well taken care of.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Melissa! Our dog, Bear, had an absolute blast during their stay. Melissa sent wonderful daily updates with photos, which put our minds completely at ease while we were away. They went above and beyond with extra playtime with other dogs, following our feeding/walking schedule perfectly, and giving out lots of cuddles. Bear came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter— we’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much!
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!
Amazing starsitter!! 🌟 Aman is great in regards to providing information, give status of the dog, sending pictures and videos, and caring for your dog! Our dog can be a little hesitant but quickly warmed up with Aman and her family 🐾 I hope she will always be available to take care of our dog, we trust her completely 🙏🏼
Ethan was an amazing sitter! We were away on vacation for 5 days, and leaving Croissant with him was the best decision ever. We felt so relaxed the whole time because Ethan kept sending us lots of videos and updates every day. His backyard is huge and very clean—a real playground for dogs. Croissant had a blast running around there and loved playing with Ethan’s dog Luffy who is so friendly and sweet. It was so much fun watching them become good buddies. When we picked Croissant up, he was super happy and relaxed. He had so much fun with his pup friends at Ethan’s place and came home and slept like a baby. We’ll definitely book with Ethan again in the future. If you are looking for someone who is truly responsible, kind, and loves dogs, we highly recommend him!
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:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% 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.
