“I was very happy with the care Norma & Bill gave to Benji. He stayed with them for two weeks when I was away. They were amazing and cared for him as their own. They kept me informed and sent photos regularly. They will definitely be my go to sitters in the future. Thank you Norma & Bill for the love & care you gave him. I'm sure he misses you both.”
“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!”
“Siobhan (& her husband) were wonderful caretakers for my two big senior boys while we were away for a whole week! Her home is cozy, clean and has a perfect fenced in yard for them to play, relax and do their perimeter checks. Regular photos & updates as well as prompt, clear & friendly communication put me at ease leaving my fur babies behind and enjoying our time away. Not only that but I could tell that they also quickly felt comfortable and at ease in her care from the photos sent each day we were away! I will absolutely rebook next time we travel!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone, Holly was fantastic keeping us updated with our pup and sending photos. Our pup came home happy and tired. I definitely would use Holly again. Thanks again Holly❤️”
“Surbhi & Tushar made me feel at ease knowing that my dog was well taken care of and loved ! Thank for the peace of mind and taking such good care of Charlie !!! The regular update pics were wonderful!! Thank you so very much !!”
About: My journey with my own dog sets me apart. We adopted my short leg Border Collie in Turkey from a shelter after she was found injured on the streets with severe trauma. Through immense patience and love, we helped her heal physically and emotionally. This experience has made me incredibly understanding, especially with dogs who might be anxious, shy, or need extra time to feel safe. Additionally, spending a lot of time with my family's and friend’s senior dogs has given me a huge soft spot for older pets. I know they require a special kind of gentle, attentive care. I also absolutely love the boundless energy of puppies! My full-time availability allows me to provide the frequent potty breaks, structure, and engaging playtime that young dogs need to thrive. Since I am currently dedicating my time fully to pet care, I have a completely flexible, full-time schedule. Pet care doesn't just fit into my routine; it is my routine! I am available on weekdays, weekends, and even for last-minute requests. This means your pet will rarely be left alone. Whether they need a mid-day walk, frequent puppy potty breaks, or constant companionship during boarding, I can easily adapt to their specific timetable and daily needs. For boarding, I live in a secure, pet-friendly apartment building in downtown Oshawa. Your pet will be supervised closely and will have the friendly, safe company of my playful short leg Border Collie and sweet Calico cat. I maintain a clean, hazard-free space. When providing drop-in visits or walks at your home, I am highly respectful of your space and privacy, always ensuring your home is locked and secure. Safety is my top priority! I always keep dogs on-leash outdoors, closely monitor their body language, and send you daily photo updates so you always have peace of mind.

“A great big thank you to Rachael and Collin for taking care of Archie and Delilah. Drop off and pick up made super convenient. Great communication before and during our dogs stay. Thank you both so much :)”
“Samantha was great with my Bailey...she was attentive and she really took good care of her. I was so happy getting the daily pictures and seeing Bailey smiling and playing. Thank you Samantha for making my vacation a worry- free one.”
“Faye was wonderful with our puppy Penny. It was her first experience away from home and Faye made sure she felt safe and secure. She kept us informed throughout with pictures, videos and messages. If you need someone to care for your fur baby, Faye is trustworthy and a true animal lover!”
“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!”

“Nicole was great! Our dog has really bad anxiety and Nicole made her comfortable and kept us fully updated. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends or family.”
“I highly recommend Ernst for dog sitting. When I arrived, I could immediately see how kind and calming he was with his dogs and mine. My biggest concern was my dog's safety in someone else's care, but Ernst explained his procedures for keeping all the dogs safe, which gave me great peace of mind. He also kept me updated with messages and pictures of my dog enjoying exercise and relaxing at home. Ernst is soft-spoken and easy to talk to, which made the experience even more enjoyable for both my dog and myself. I will definitely reach out to him again when I need boarding in the future. My dog truly enjoyed the stay with Ernst.”
“Vanessa was wonderful! Sent me lots of pictures and updated me throughout the stay. She was very accommodating when I needed to pick my puppies later than intended. I highly recommend her”
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for over 10 years. I have experience with separation anxiety and reactive dogs. I have also worked with other animals like bunnies, guinea pigs, and fish. I have experience with puppies and seniors as well. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I split it into morning and evening tasks. Mornings involve feeding, walking, checking litter boxes, refilling water, etc. And my evenings include walking, feeding, and any cleaning tasks. I provide care at my clients residence. Depending on the type of building it is (house or apartment) care will vary. In a house it often includes time in backyard, inside play, walks, and extended time with the pet. In an apartment it will include play time inside, lots of walks, time on balcony (depends on apartment and pet), making sure blinds are open to provide sunlight, and extended time with the pet.
“Penny had the best time with Vicki and her family. She felt at home so quickly. I really appreciate Vicki’s caring nature, transparency, and flexibility. Penny loved her stay. She’s the best!”
“AJ had a lovely stay with Siddharth, Aanchal, and the little one. Thank you so much for taking excellent care of AJ. We enjoyed the regular updates and photos and that helped put our mind at ease. You could easily tell he was well loved and cared for when he got back home.”

We left our pup Pip for the first time away from us. Bill and Margie gave him an amazing stay. He loved it and didn't want to come home with us. They are so accommodating and truely loved him him up. We have already booked another stay. Thank you both for taking excellent care of Pip.
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!
Shelby provided an extraordinary care for my two huskies during their stay with her. From the flexibility to do a Meet and Greet to providing me daily updates of my dogs; she made me feel at ease. Her place was good environment (closer to what we have at home); a family place, not a kennel. She also brushed them and provided some 1-1 time to each one of them as they love their pets. For sure, I will consider her again for another boarding when the family is travelling. Thank you for making my time off more relaxing as well.
Boarded our dog Milo with Gabi for 10 days while away on vacation. She is a great care giver and dog lover and we feel so glad to have her for doggie daycare and boarding when needed. She checked in with us by sending photos so we knew Milo was doing well. Gabi was quick to respond when we just missed our pup and wanted an update. Strongly recommend Gabi for any dog sitting needs!
Melissa and Brian were amazing with our Mango! We could see the bond they developed when we picked our puppy up and how happy Mango looked while in their care. Mango was with them for almost 10 days during which time, he was well taken care of and they were very attentive! Thanks for everything!

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.
