“Loryn provided excellent care to our dog Fuji during his boarding with her. She was very prompt in her replies and sent photos and let me know how he was doing every day. She obviously loves dogs and I highly recommend Loryn to anyone looking for care for their dog.”
“We unfortunately had to end our stay about a week early as Poki did not get along with another boarding dog. That being said, Monique and her family were incredibly lovely and the circumstances were unfortunate! She was very accommodating, communicative, and clearly has a passion for dogs. I absolutely would use Monique again but would have Poki as the only dog in the house.”
“Truly nowhere else I would feel so comfortable leaving our girls. They're so excited to get out of their carriers and see Julia and whichever of their small dog friends are there too.”
“Mahan took such great care of our girl, Twix, this weekend. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Twix was in such good hands. You can tell Mahan genuinely cares — we came home to a happy, well-looked-after doggy. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely book again!”
“It was our first time to use Rover so we weren’t sure how it was gonna go. Arlene did amazing with our senior dog (blind & deaf). She was so patient with him. Our dog usually gets really stressed in the past at the kennel but it looked like Snoopy has an amazing time with Arlene. Thank you Arlene!”
“It was Chester’s first time and he was very well taken care of. Pratheeksha updated us with texts and photos during the stay. She made sure he was comfortable and took extra time and effort to make sure he ate properly. Thank you for the love and care he was shown! Will definitely be rebooking again and highly recommend!”
“This has to be my favourite puppy sitting ever. Kyla was extremely professional and full of empathy. She treated my dog like her own family and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos. The environment inside the home was what won me, my dog didn’t miss us at all as the fury, little and the big members of her family kept my dog so safe and happy. I don’t think I will ever book any other sitter again. Thank you so much Kyla, kids and fury family members for making June feel so happy and loved. I can’t wait to come back for every other get away we have.”
“Absolutely amazing. Frankie seemed like he had a great stay with Samantha & you can really tell that Samantha truly loves animals! Great communication & transparency. Definitely booking again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Sowmya! She took care of our Gutlu like her own, showering him with so much love, care, and affection. As first-time pet parents leaving him with a sitter, we couldn't have asked for a more reassuring and lovely experience. Sowmya made us feel comfortable and confident that our little one was in safe hands. Truly grateful for her warmth and kindness. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their fur baby like family!”

“Natalie and Daniel took care of our Bruce for a week. They sent us daily pictures and updates. Although we were missing Bruce, we were able to have a relaxing vacation because we knew that he's in good and capable hands. They took good care of him and gave him lots of love during his stay. Thanks to both of you!”
“Maria is wonderful! She watched our dog for 5 days while we were away and sent many pictures and updates. Mipha came home happy and pooped! We are very grateful to have found someone so close by who can take such wonderful care of our dog!”
“So communicative during my dogs stay with updates, can’t recommend enough. My dog can be stubborn with feeding when I’m not around and he was absolutely fine and super comfortable!”
“I reached out to Tia fairly last minute to my 2 week vacation, and she responded promptly and set up a meet and greet. I instantly felt comfortable and thought it would be a great fit for my dog Penny. Upon dropping Penny off, Tia told me that she would update me with photos. The updates and photos were so great to get!! I could enjoy my vacation knowing that Penny was happy and in good hands. When I picked up Penny, Tia had given her a bath and washed her blanket! I can’t say enough positive things about our first experience with Tia! I would leave Penny there again anytime!”
“This was our 3rd time leaving Teddy with Lauren. He stayed with her for 5 days. Teddy came back home very happy and Lauren kept us posted by sending regular pictures and videos. We would recommend Lauren anyday😊”
“Chris was fantastic with our dog Charlie. Very responsive to any questions and provided lots of photos. Chris provided a beautiful, comfortable home for our fur baby to stay while we were away. Would definitely book again! Thank you!!”
About: Hi! I’m Karina, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals, especially dogs. Dogs have a special way of bringing me back to calm, connection and joy. I truly believe every dog has their own personality, story and unique way of speaking to your soul. ❤️ I love caring for animals with all kinds of needs, and I have a special soft spot for the ones who need a little extra TLC. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals who have experienced abandonment, neglect, anxiety and fear, and I’ve always loved finding ways to help them feel safe, build trust and create a special bond. Seeing an animal overcome a fear, become more confident and experience life a little more fully brings me so much happiness. Every animal deserves to feel safe, loved and happy! My experience comes from all the amazing animals who have crossed my path with different personalities and needs. I’ve cared for anxious, fearful and reactive dogs, as well as plenty of happy, easygoing pups who simply want to walk, play, explore and soak up some attention. I always approach each dog with patience, positive reinforcement, respect and lots of love. Within my family, circle of friends and neighbourhood community, I’ve naturally become the go-to person for dog sitting, check-ins and plenty of extra TLC. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love being available when people need someone they trust. And if I’m at a social gathering and there’s a dog in the room… well, that’s my new buddy! 😂🐶 I’m usually the person saying hello, giving them some attention and getting to know them. I love taking dogs on walks and little adventures, watching them explore, sniff, play and experience new things. I also enjoy giving them one-on-one relaxation and pampering time, including gentle stretching, massage and wellness care. Dogs give us so much love, and I think they deserve plenty of time to relax and be spoiled, too! My background also includes working with children with special needs, seniors and foster care, which has taught me to be especially nurturing, patient and attentive to individual needs. I have a current broad police check and take the trust that comes with caring for someone’s beloved pet very seriously. My services include: • Dog walking and adventure walks • Dog visits and companionship • Wellness and check-in visits • At-home pampering and relaxation • Gentle stretching and massage • Personalized care for anxious, fearful or reactive dogs I don’t just want to care for your dog — I want them to feel cared for, understood and loved. ❤️ If your dog loves attention, affection, adventure and being doted on, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 I am a stay-at-home mom with a lot of availability and flexibility. I enjoy being out and traveling, and what better way to be busy than playing with pets! I have a fenced yard and a comfortable, pet-friendly home where dogs can feel safe, relaxed and cared for. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their own home, I take the time to get to know them and pay attention to their body language, energy and behaviour so I can understand what they may need. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to make reasonable adjustments to help them feel comfortable. If a dog is anxious, nervous or overwhelmed, I’ll adjust my approach and environment to help them settle in. If they’re playful and adventurous, I’m happy to keep them engaged and active. And if they simply want to relax beside me and receive some extra love and attention, I’m more than happy to spoil them! I aim to provide thoughtful, personalized care based on each pet’s personality and comfort level. My goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, happy and cared for while you’re away, with plenty of patience, affection and attention along the way. 🐾❤️

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oshawa
Fantastic interaction from beginning to end! Our first time using Rover and Cecily reassured me that my dogs would be fine (and of course they were!). Cecily even walked my massive childish German Shepard and showed us a better harness set up to make him walk better! They came home relaxed and happy. We have rebooked for another sitting. Thank you Cecily we appreciate everything you have done for Angus and Bean.
The most amazing sitter and pet care giver ever. Don't need to even think twice ! Constant updates, and the right kind of attention. Plus her dog will be a great companion for you pups. Will bring my 2 dogs back to her anytime she's available and she will be my first choice.
Tanisha’s boarding service has been nothing short of amazing! I received updates, pictures and she’s very accommodating…Such a great experience highly recommend! As I’d definitely use her services again!!! My dog was definitely taken care of 🥰 Thank you again Tanisha for such a wonderful service!
Lori once again , provided a great little holiday for Gracie. My husband and I had a wonderful time away and Gracie did too. We received pictures and updates of our little dog going about her daily activities with Lori.We would certainly book with Lori again because we know that she is in good hands.
Mia looked completely comfortable with Sharai,which was a relief. Sharai did a great job of keeping in touch with us and sharing photos of Mia. We felt reassured that Mia was being well taken care of. Thank You for taking care of our girl! We'll book with you again.😀
Faye was an amazing sitter. Our Snowy was well loved and looked after. Faye is very flexible and understanding. She is a pet mom herself so it makes things so much easy. We left Snowy for 2 nights / 3 days; Snowy had so much fun. We will definitely use Faye's services in the future and highly recommend her if you are from the Oshawa area.
Qian was the most phenomenal sitter I could have possibly asked for. When I was looking on Rover I was concerned I wouldn’t find someone that could care for my girl as much as I do, but I was so wrong. Qian sent me tons of updates with photos, reassuring me the entire time as this was my first time being away from my girl. If you are looking for someone to watch your dog that is kind, attentive and caring, I could not recommend Qian enough. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.
Kazi is an amazing dog sitter. Our Rosie always comes back from her home very healthy and happy. We know we can trust our beloved fur baby in the hands of someone so kind and compassionate towards animals. Kazi gives multiple updates and pictures of our dog during the time she is with the sitter. We can rest assured that all is well and that Rosie is in good care. 5 stars for a wonderful experience.

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.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred.

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.

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.
You and your Oshawa sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
