“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.”
“Manuel and Maricris were quick to respond, were able to accommodate my last-minute booking, and kept me updated throughout my dog's stay with photos and messages, which gave me real peace of mind. Overall, it was a smooth, positive experience, and I'm very grateful for the great care they provided. Highly recommend!”
“Angela and her family took great care of Neko! It was clear they made him feel at home and I was very comfortable leaving him in her care. I definitely recommend Angela to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment to leave their fur baby!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember — I grew up with two or more dogs in our family from the time I was a baby, so having dogs around has always felt like home to me! I currently have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is very much part of our family. My children have grown up alongside him, so they’re used to having a dog as part of their everyday life and understand that dogs deserve kindness, respect and plenty of love. My former pup was part of our family for many years and, later in life, needed extra care while living with diabetes, Cushing’s disease and seizures. That experience taught me just how important patience, consistency and paying close attention to a dog’s individual needs can be. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from little ones to big dogs, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s quirks and routine. As a mum, I’m naturally nurturing and attentive, and I truly believe dogs are so much more than just pets — they’re part of the family. They deserve to feel loved, safe and included, and that’s exactly how I would treat your pup while they’re with us. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible work-from-home job, along with some community work, which means I’m able to work my schedule around the needs of the dogs in my care. I have flexibility throughout the day and can usually accommodate different routines, walks, drop-ins and stays with some advance notice. I’m home often and love having a pup around to keep me company! 🐾❤️ Shoot me a message and I'm sure we can work something out My home is a loving, family environment where dogs are welcomed as part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where pups can safely enjoy outdoor time, and i currently have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is very used to having other dogs around. I also have a finished basement that can provide a quiet, comfortable space away from the kids and our dog if your pup prefers some alone time, needs a break, or simply likes having a calm place to relax. For boarding stays, I’m also happy to sleep in our guest room with your dog if they’re more comfortable having someone nearby overnight. Safety and trust are really important to me. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, comfort level and any special needs before their stay. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and settled. I work from home, so I’m home often and dogs aren’t left alone for long periods of time. Our children are comfortable and respectful around dogs, and I’m always mindful of making sure every pup has the space they need. Most importantly, I want every dog staying with us to feel safe, loved and genuinely part of the family — whether that means playing in the yard, cuddling on the couch, or having a quiet night downstairs with me. 🐾❤️
“Cali had another wonderful stay with Adriana and Mollie! She is in great hands, and returns home happy and tired from a good time. Thanks for taking such good care of our girl!”
“Rie and Masahiro were wonderful sitters for my dog, Laika (65lbs). She needed some extra love and attention, and they were incredibly accommodating. Their communication throughout was excellent, sending me regular updates and pictures, which really reassured me while I was away. Laika seemed so happy and well cared for during her stay with them. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters.”
“Great experience. Very reliable and caring — our dog was happy and well looked after. Communication was easy and we felt at ease the whole time. Would definitely book again！”
“Jennifer was amazing! I think my dog Tuna went on 5-6 walks on her overnight stay! Jennifer was very communicative and accommodating to my baby tunas needs. She was able to apply a medicated cream on my girl for an ongoing medical condition and was very thorough! I really enjoyed talking to Jennifer and so pleased with her taking care of my baby Tuna! Will definitely book with her again! Thank you so much! 10/10”
“Maria and Oscar where so amazing with lulu! She was so happy and instantly happy and comfortable with them! She got adventures and I had many photo updates :) Highly recommend and I will definitely come back to them!”
“Jayna was fabulous with our dogs and one of them is definitely a handful - full of puppy energy and a lot of bounce! 🤣 We’d highly recommend her and will definitely bring the boys back to her (when the little one’s energy balances out a bit!)”
“Colleen was super easy and professional to communicate with. It was our pups first time with her so the environment was new. That combined with some unexpected fireworks made for some anxious babies. Colleen changed her sleeping arrangements to accommodate them and make them feel safe so everyone could sleep. I was very comfortable and happy that Murph and Eddie stayed with Colleen.”
“Mike was amazing with Sam when he cared for him for a night. Mike sent me lots of photos and kept me updated on how Sam was making out, which took the stress out of my leaving him when I was away. I would recommend Mike as a caregiver for anyone looking for their pets!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Seema and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog, Max. From the moment we met, she was very friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Max was dropped off at 7:30 in the morning and picked up at 7:30 in the evening, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands throughout the day. Seema was extremely caring and loving toward Max. He had a great time playing fetch with her and was walked multiple times during the day. She made sure he was fed properly and well taken care of. Max also made a new friend, Yogi—an 11-month-old Golden Retriever—and they had an amazing time together, playing and running around in the backyard, even enjoying the snow. It was clear from the updates and interactions that Max was happy, comfortable, and well behaved in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and dedication Seema showed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Max and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Chelsea and Jason were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Daisy. I was away for a week and needed someone I could trust, and they far exceeded my expectations. Daisy was spoiled with endless love, attention and treats, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and photos they sent to keep me updated about her stay. They treated Daisy like she was their own and she had an amazing time! Thank you both so much!”
“Mariella and her family are wonderful with our Rocky They are very loving and we felt very comfortable with Rocky being with them during our 2 week vacation We would recommend Mariella to anyone needing their services Veronica and Paul”
“Very happy with Jessica's service. I had a 9 hour trip to get back home and Tyson was so calm for the ride home which tells me he was stress free. Thank you Jessica. I will definely book you again when I go back to Brantford 😊”
“Dharaben was super accommodating and patient with my anxious pup! I received frequent communication with lots of picture and updates. Will absolutely be booking with Dharaben again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Onondaga
Cynthia and David were great with my pups! Our hyper dog got all the exercise she could handle and our lazy boy got to wander around and sniff the endless sea of smells. We received lots of updates and pictures and felt at ease knowing our dogs safety and well being were put first.
Have had my doberman stay with Cynthia and David on 3 separate occasion and most recently, had my basset hound stay with them as well. My dogs love being there and can tell they’ve been very well taken care of each and everytime they stay over. I wouldn’t take my dogs anywhere else!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Onondaga 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 Onondaga
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 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.
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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
