“Leaving our 6½-year-old, spoiled, and very needy dachshund with strangers for the first time was pretty scary. But Mana and Ahmed quickly proved to be the best kind of strangers. They were truly the perfect substitute parents, treating Luna as if she were their own dog and providing her with a warm, loving, and attentive home. Through daily photos and messages, we always knew Luna was safe, comfortable, happy, and extremely well cared for. Their kindness and dedication gave us peace of mind; it permitted us to enjoy a completely guilt-free vacation. We are incredibly grateful to Mana and Ahmed for opening their home and heart to our dog and feel very lucky to have met them!”
“Amanda and Bryan are amazing! My boxer is a little timing, needing extra love and care and Amanda and her family were so great with him. They treated him like their own, so much so that he was so sad coming home. I would absolutely recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to board with them in the future!”
“So this was my first time using Rover and am I glad that I found Julietta on here to take care of my 2 dogs. Not only is Julietta a thorough professional, but she goes out of her way to make sure that your dogs are comfortable. She was very caring and loving towards my dogs. She took amazing care of them. I initially booked for 3 days of boarding but because of a travel issue, we had to leave the dogs with her for 2 more days. She was so accommodating..Even though it was such a stressful situation, she reached out and told me not to worry at all and she would be happy to take care of the dogs for the 2 additional days. She bought them toys. You can tell that she actually loves dogs. My older dog typically has separation anxiety but I could tell that he was very happy when I went to pick him up. He wasn't stressed out as he usually is if I ever have to drop him off at a kennel. I will certainly be going back to Julietta if I ever have to drop off my dogs for a few days.. I highly recommend her. She is an amazing person.”
“Gentiana was so wonderful with our high energy dog! She had other dogs at the home so he had built in best friends! She sent updates and pictures every day which we loved getting!! We will absolutely be booking with her again!! Highly recommend!!”
“Luis was incredible with Ella, and was willing to take care of her on a last minute request. Ella and Blue got along really well and I was extremely happy to see all of the pictures and videos of Ella and Blue playing at the park and resting on the bench!! Luis was a great host, very nice, responded very quickly and he kept me updated daily with how Ella is doing would 100% recommend and definitely will bring Ella back again. Thank you Luis for taking great care of Ella.”
“This was our second time leaving Bonnie with Christa for a full week and Bonnie was right at home! She got lots of exercise, tons of playtime with Lucy, and so much love and attention. We received thoughtful updates and lots of pictures every day. We’re so glad to have found Christa and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter ☺️”
“I couldn’t recommend Lucia more. This was the first time we leave our pet with someone else since we adopted him and we were very nervous, especially since we had never used Rover before. Not only did Lucia put us at ease and made the experience stress-free, she went above and beyond to send updates and photos everyday throughout. She implemented every request we made and gave our pet a second home while we were away. He became part of the family as she liked to say. Her house with its backyard is perfect for a dog that likes to explore, and her dog Benji is a clear testament to how well she treats pets. He’s a calm, loving dog and our dog, who can be scared of other dogs, was clearly comfortable with him around. We couldn’t be more thankful for the care our dog received and we’re glad we found Lucia. I strongly and confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“I highly recommend Nilesh! From the moment I met them, I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in their care. They were incredibly responsible, attentive, caring, and genuinely treated my dog as if they were their own. What stood out most was the level of communication and care. I received regular updates, photos, and reassurance throughout the stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for.”
“Jeff took our Viszla into his home for over a week during the holiday season and gave him all the care and love he needed. We got regular photos and updates to show us how he was doing and Jeff made us feel comforted and secure that he was being cared for as if at home. Jeff is flexible with his arrangements and communicates really well - we will definitely use him again!”
“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.”
“Amy was amazing! She sent timely updates, photos and videos of our dog, Loki. We could see Loki had a great time. We would recommend Amy and also come back to her whenever we need a sitter.”
“Cari is an amazing sitter! She sent great updates, followed my puppies routine/training really well, and most importantly loved him like he was her own! She and her husband were so nice and I’d 100% trust them to watch my puppy again!”
“We left our fur baby with Gouri and Aritra for the first time this past weekend. They were amazing and sent us pictures regularly. They were so kind and easy to deal with. They were just amazing and we highly recommend them. Thank you so much.”
“Lily had a wonderful stay, she was so relaxed when we picked her up, we’re not sure if she wanted to leave! The daily updates from Audrie were amazing. Thank you for taking such great care of our Lily. Knowing she was in such good hands with a loving family made our vacation even more enjoyable!!”
“Patricia was such a great sitter for our Bruce! She truly provides the best for him while we were away. She provides great updates with lots of pictures which is so nice. She has lots of great experience with dogs from her own and upon booking always asks great questions to make sure you’re a good fit. We will certainly be using her again soon! Thanks you Patricia!!”
“Franklin had a lovely stay and seemed very happy. Communication was fantastic and we had lots of photos and updates so felt very reassured and could enjoy our holiday knowing our pet baby was in good hands.”
About: I’m a fur-mom with over 25 years of pet experience. Having taken dog training basics, I am familiar with dog behaviour and communication. Your furbabies will be treated with the same love, care, and respect as my own. On my available days, I’m home with the furbabies all day. We spend our time taking walks, playing outside, napping, interacting, or giving cuddles. I have no doubt that they’ll have a Pawsome time with me and my gang and that your furbaby will be excited to come again! I work from home most days of the week, which allows me to be available for your furbabies on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On my unavailable days I also use Rover for pet care for my little Blossom. Blossom has many fur friends and knows the neighbourhood dogs well. I am lucky to not be working on weekends, so my Saturdays and Sundays are quite flexible. Furbaby activities include walks, play, park time, training challenges (with rewards), rest, snack time, and snuggles. Animals are able to access the fenced in yard upon request so bathroom schedules are very flexible. Fresh water is always accessible on any level of the house. I offer care in my own home. Animals are treated like family. I keep furbabies safe by using retractable pet gates to temporarily restrict areas of the homes, like when a delivery occurs, during meal times, or as friends get to know one another. I have a fenced in yard for getting business done, or for lazing and basking in the sun. Lots of animal safe toys and beds are available for play or rest, but I’ll be honest, I allow furbabies on the furniture as much as I do the people. Positive play and reinforcement is part of our daily routine and is geared toward the individual personality of the animal. Living with me is a middle-aged and tolerant short haired cat, and a shy but easy going Cavalier King Charles Spaniel of two years. I expect a meet and greet prior to confirming a booking to ensure personality fit and safety of all our friends.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Oakville is $50

Another great stay with Raquel and Greg. Murphy had an absolute blast and came home happy and tuckered out after a stay full of daily walks and hikes. Raquel and family takes such fantastic care of him and provides peace of mind while we're away. I highly recommend Raquel to any dog owners looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter.
Natalie was great with our cat. She was quick to respond and send us pictures throughout the stay. She’s very friendly and let our cat familiarize herself with the surroundings very patiently. She also kept everything ready on pickup day to ensure a smooth pickup, wouldn’t hesitate to leave Mia with her again!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Yue to my friends and family. Anyone looking for someone to care for your pets Yue is the one, she take awesome awesome care of my dearest chapo it was his first time since we had him from he was 3months old away from the family and Yue take good care of him that he don't feel separation anxiety ****. Thanks you very much Yue.
This was our first time using Rover and had a great experience! Regan our senior dog had a meet and greet with Lisa and her family and we felt she was very comfortable so we decided to use her services for 5 days Lisa updated us with how Regan was doing and sent pictures which helped us tremendously! We picked up a happy and relaxed dog at the end of her stay ! We will definitely use Lisa again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Floppy! She was incredibly caring, gentle, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Floppy’s comfort and happiness, and that gave us so much peace of mind. Floppy was very happy, relaxed, and comfortable with her, which means everything to us. We are truly grateful for the love and care she gave Floppy and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our little Floppy! ❤️
I’m incredibly grateful to have discovered Ethan. He provided exceptional care for our little Milo, ensuring that he was always comfortable and happy. Ethan’s kindness and attentiveness were truly remarkable, making a significant difference in Milo’s experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Ethan to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate care for their pets. Without a doubt, I would send Milo back to him in the future. :)
Bonnie was amazing with Lily our two year old standard poodle. She took care of her for two weeks. This was the first time we’ve left our pet with a non-family member. Bonnie went above and beyond and looked after Lily as if she was her own. Bonnie’s constant communication assured us Lily was happy and doing well. We’ve already booked Bonnie for next year.
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!
Hi Abbie and Munib. Thank you once again for taking care of the dynamic duo, Luke and Leia! They were the most relaxed than they have ever been coming home. This is their fourth visit and they adapt better with each trip because of the two of you and this is really comforting to me, being the nervous fur momma that I am. <3

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.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile. Look at other pet parent reviews and repeat pet parent booking rates for an idea of their pet care exp erience.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
