“Melissa took amazing care of my husky, Wolf. He was clearly comfortable and felt right at home with Melissa, her family, and her sweet chocolate lab, Sky. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, and I would definitely board Wolf with her again!”
“Our young toy poodle stayed 3 nights with Julia. It was our dog’s first time boarding. While we were confident in Julia after the meet-and-greet, we weren’t sure if our dog would have challenging anxiety. Any concerns we had about that were quickly abated with Julia’s updates which included pics of our dog at ease and looking happy within the first day. Julia accommodated our dog very well and we’re thankful for her!”
“Sharai was amazing with my dog! She was patient, caring, and even helped him learn how to confidently use the stairs while in her care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oshawa
Our dog really enjoyed her stay with Lori. Every day Lori sent pictures of our dog going for walks or running and playing in her yard. I was nervous about our dog going to a pet sitter because we’ve never done this before but I didn’t need to worry about it at all. Our dog was returned to us healthy and happy. I am very glad we picked Lori to look after our little , senior dog. If we have a need to get a pet sitter again, I would not hesitate to book with Lori. I could tell that she really likes dogs.
“Cecily took excellent care of our dog for four days while we were in Montreal. She walked him regularly, let him roam around the house like his own, used the leash properly, and shared photos with us. I’d100% recommend Cecily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter.”
Kazi is the perfect caretaker for your fur baby. We entrusted her with our dog Rosie for two days, and couldn't be happier with the quality of care that Rosie received from this wonderful lady. Our dog came home with a happy spirit, bright eyes and wagging tail. Kazi treats animals like her own family; a treasured companion who has the privilege of being loved and cared for. She also sends several daily updates, through text and pictures, to show that your beloved pet is comfortable and happy. We will definitely be booking Kazi again for future dog sitting. 5 stars!!!!
Finding William and Margaret has truly been a blessing for us. Thanks to them, we can finally travel without any stress, knowing our dog is not only safe but genuinely loved. They care for her as if she were their own—attentive, patient, and completely committed to her well‑being. Every update they send gives us peace of mind, and every stay leaves our dog happy and relaxed. We’re so grateful to have sitters we can trust wholeheartedly.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We couldn't have asked for a better Rover sitter! From the moment we started talking to Zehra, it was obvious how patient, kind, and genuinely caring she is. She is truly the BEST —so calm, encouraging, and completely tuned in to what was needed. Throughout the entire week, she kept us updated with so many photos, videos and messages, which made being away from our pup so much easier. We never once had to wonder how he was doing. He was so happy, comfortable, and loved in her care. Her husband was absolutely wonderful too, and together they made my pup feel like part of their family. Also, their pup and cat are just the sweetest - so calm and well-mannered. We will absolutely see her again and can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of our happy little guy. ❤️
Sharai is amazing. Our Winston has never been “babysat” before, not even for a few hours let alone an overnight stay. We met her and talked about our worries and right from the start she demonstrated how much she understood him and us. She was very thorough in explaining how she would ensure he was taken care of. She gave us great and regular updates/pictures to reassure us he was doing just fine.Winston loved his time and got along with everyone! We had an amazing experience with Sharai and will definitely use her again
This is the second time we have asked Shelby to look after our dogs and it has been great. Her house and environment is very similar to our house. She has provided me with h several daily updates and it makes a difference when you are a week away. It has been a great experience and I certainly will consider again for a future boarding need and she is highly recommended
Karen was truly an angel on earth while caring for our paralyzed dog, Kai. Leaving our dog in someone else’s care was understandably nerve-wracking, especially given his mobility challenges and medically prescribed daily needs. From the moment we connected with Karen, she put our minds at ease with her compassion, professionalism, and clear love for animals. She was incredibly attentive to all of his care requirements and followed his medical routine with great detail. Karen maintained constant communication throughout the stay and never hesitated to reach out if she had any questions or wanted clarification. That level of diligence meant the world to us. The photo and video updates she sent were far more frequent than we’ve experienced with other boarders, and we genuinely looked forward to each one. Seeing our dog comfortable, happy, and so well cared for gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that Karen cared for our pet as if he were her own. We are so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication she showed. We would trust Karen again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, especially families with pets who have special medical or mobility needs.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oshawa 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 Oshawa
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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
