“Tia and her family welcomed our girlie into their home with open arms and took such great care of her. We got lots of photo updates and even a video! Highly recommend Tia and her family! We will be back ???”
“Liliana was so wonderful, very responsive and communicated throughout my pet’s stay. My kitten (not a kitten) Percy had the best day, was introduced to the other pets in the home and by the end of his stay had made friends with everyone. He was so tired heading home - had the absolute best time! This was our first time using Rover and was a great experience”
About: My husband and I work from home, so your pet will always have company, attention, and care throughout the day. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets are never left alone for long periods. I take dogs on regular walks, follow their daily routines closely, and make sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. Since I am home all day, I can quickly respond to your pet’s needs and give them constant supervision and companionship. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can dedicate—your pet will truly feel like part of my home and family while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I work from home and will be available throughout the day. I take fur babies on walks whenever needed, depending on their energy level and routine. We follow each pet’s feeding schedule carefully and make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. We also have a backyard where pets can safely play and relax. Since we’re home most of the time, they receive lots of love, companionship, and supervision, and are rarely left alone. I am flexible and happy to adjust my routine to match your pet’s specific needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets are treated like part of the family. Since I work from home, pets receive constant supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I follow their usual routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks based on their needs, and plenty of playtime—both indoors and in our backyard. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and stress-free by giving them lots of affection, monitoring their behavior, and adjusting care based on their personality and energy level.
“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!”
“Home away from home for our dog !!!! Surbhi & Tushar are wonderful people. They take care of your pet (big or small) like their own. They make sure your pet eats on time, has good playtime and rest time. Regular updates were so helpful in knowing our dog was happy and enjoying his time with them. If you want to be stress-free and not worry about your pet even for a second, board them with these 2 amazing humans and their little cute dog, Taco.”
“I recently boarded my little girl here for the first time, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Bill & Norma were incredibly kind and patient, especially knowing how nervous I was about leaving her. My girl is a long-haired Yorkie and needs a bit of extra care, and they handled her perfectly. They made sure her coat stayed clean, and treated her with so much gentleness. When I picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Their understanding, communication, and genuine love for the dogs in their care made all the difference. I’m so grateful for the wonderful treatment she received, and I wouldn’t hesitate to bring her back again. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel and Colin were amazing! They are extremely friendly, very flexible with making arrangements, took great care of Coco while I was away. She provided daily updates and pictures. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking to care for their dogs. Very happy with them and would book with them without hesitation!”
“Siobhan and Ben are truly amazing. They took care of our pup for 9 days, which allowed us to take a much needed family vacation. We received updates and photos throughout our time away, which put our minds at ease knowing that she was getting lots of cuddles and love. The week before we left for vacation, our pup was attacked by another dog and sustained a large gash. We were even more worried to leave her in someone care but Siobhan and Ben tended to her wound. We would definitely ask Siobhan to take Kona again and would highly recommend her service. Thanks again, Tamiko”
“Noddy had a wonderful time with Qian and her husband. She sent us frequent updates of him playing and enjoying his time in their home. We will definitely use her services in the near future.”
“Vanessa and her family took great care of Lucy! She looks after multiple dogs and vets each one to make sure everyone gets along. Lucy had so many fun play days and we got to see it daily with pictures and videos. Vanessa herself was super easy to deal with. She has great communication skills and she's super caring. Thanks Vanessa and Fam!”
“Our 6 month old poodle absolutely loves his stays at Holly's. He has anxiety around meeting new people and Holly is great about giving him space until he opens up. He makes new friends and has a huge area to run around in. Would recommend Holly to anyone who has a nervous puppy!”
“Hillary took amazing care of my dog for an entire week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She kept me updated throughout the stay by sending regular photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved in her care. Hillary is kind, reliable, and truly goes above and beyond for the pets she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again, Hillary!”
“Faye was great !!!! She took the best care of Bailey and Brio giving me daily updates and photos. She ensured they were both safe and well taken care of. I will be using her again for both my fur babies”
“Samantha took incredible care of our golden, Charlie, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind her attentiveness and frequent updates gave us while we were away. It is very clear how much she truly cares about the wellbeing and happiness of the animals she cares for. 😊 Thank you, Samantha, for taking care of our girl and giving us the ability to enjoy our trip knowing Charlie was having as much (if not more!) fun with you! It really meant a lot to us and we’re so happy we found you! 🥰”
“Our senior dog Freckles felt right at home in the care of Rebecca and Janet. The whole experience was great, from the fast communication to set up the meet & greet, to all the great questions they had to ensure our dog would have a daily routine to make her feel comfortable, to regular updates during her stay. All exceeded our expectations! We have already booked another stay with these wonderful people.”
“Ankur and Krupa were great hosts. They send constant updates regarding your pet, photos and videos as well. I did not have to worry about my pet when I was away. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful away time.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing and so kind. She took care of my babies like her own. She helped me when I was going through a really hard time. My fur babies were very happy to stay with Heather. She went above and beyond. We will definitely visit Heather again if she will have us.”
“Sid & his wife did an excellent job taking care of Keegan! They were always very professional and courteous, and had all questions considered. They sent me photo updates to let me know how my dog was doing during his stay. I know that he was treated with so much love and attention which I’m super grateful for! I would definitely book Siddarth again in the future :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oshawa
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
William and Margret were wonderful. You can really tell that they are genuine animal lovers and your dog will be in the best of care while with them. Our dogs are young and quite a handful. Both of them were passed out in the backseat on the way home after their 5 night visit, they for sure had a great time.
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.
Amanda was super amazing with Mikko. He had such a blast with her the whole day and we could see it in the picture updates she sent us. We totally appreciate Amanda’s communication throughout the day, especially with it being Mikko’s first time with pet sitter. 100% we’ll be going back and Mikko will probably love that.
We had such a wonderful experience with Noor! From the moment we dropped our cat off, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. Our cat can be a bit particular, but they took the time to understand their personality and routine, which made all the difference. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cat was not only well cared for, but also comfortable and happy in their environment. We came home to a relaxed, well-looked-after kitty, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely kind cat sitter!

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 pet, 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
