“Kumudini has done an excellent and exceptional job taking care of Lily for a month. Lily was emotionally attached during her stay with Kumudini and the regular updates through photos and videos made us understand how she was well taken care of. Kumudini takes a keen interest to understand every minute detail of the pet that she cares for and helps them adapt very well with the surroundings. She is a genuine pet lover and pet mom who would go over and beyond to take care of the pets entrusted to her I and would highly recommend her for her services! Thank you so much Kumudini for taking care of Lily as a member of your family. We were lucky to have you to care for our darling girl!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jessie and Joseph. From the very first meeting, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. Throughout the time they cared for him, I received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how his day was going. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was not only being well looked after, but also loved and entertained. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about dogs, I highly recommend Jessie and Joseph.They treat your pup like family, and that’s the best gift a pet parent could ask for.”
“Mya was wonderful. Our dogs were very happy and very well cared for. She looked after our 2 dogs for a little more than a week and sent photos and communicated daily. I would highly recommend Mya for any of your pet-sitting needs.”
“Natalie & Daniel are highly recommended!!! They asked questions to get to know Dessie’s routine and likes. The family has spoiled her rotten lol and daily updates were much appreciated. I will definitely use Natalie & Daniel (and the kids ) again.”
“Stephen and Vanessa were excellent with our dog Benji and we would absolutely book with them again! They sent daily updates and even looked after him for an extra night at the last minute when our flight was delayed, which we really appreciated. It seemed like Benji had a blast playing with their kids and their dog Chewy. Highly recommend them!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after Diesel than Monique and her wonderful family. From the moment we left him, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Diesel was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It was clear he wasn’t just being “looked after” — he was treated like part of their family. We especially appreciated the updates and the genuine affection they showed him. When we picked him up, it was obvious he had been loved and cared for so well. A special thank you to her son as well, who formed such a sweet bond with Diesel. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Monique and her family to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet care. Thank you again for everything ❤️”
“Berlin had a fantastic weekend with Francine. This is the first time we left Berlin with Francine . She is truly amazing Petsitter. Grateful that she accepted my last minute request to board Berlin. All I can say is she is great with pets . Highly recommend Francine”
“Angela took excellent care of Wesley for an overnight stay! He loved to play with Quentin and Angela sent such sweet updates while Wesley was in her care. Thank you, Angela and Quentin! We can’t wait to book again.”
“Can’t say enough great things about Vanessa and her family. From the second we met them I was at ease with leaving Odin with them. When Odin met her dog Leo, they became the best of friends. They treated Odin like thier own and made sure he was safe and had the best time.”
“Andrew and Alexa went beyond and above taking care of Charlie. Our baby is very challenging due to past experiences and high energy level that Charlie needs effective and efficient strategies to make his day fun and not boring. Alexa and Andrew did incredible care for our baby that when he gets home after our 6-days vacation, Charlie became calm and compliant with directions during walks and when playing indoors. In my own perspective, their passion and discipline strategies with dogs will make them qualified dog trainers. If there is an award for best dog caretakers, I will vote for them. Now, we can book our vacation without worrying who will take care of Charlie. Thank you Alexa and Andrew for the excellent service.”
“Karen took such wonderful care of my cat, Neo, while I was away on vacation. She went above and beyond by sending daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Neo was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Karen is fantastic with cats—her warmth and attentiveness really shine through, and it made all the difference. She was also incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I’m so glad I chose Karen, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“We had an amazing experience with Ginny taking care of our puppy, Muffin, for 3 days. Muffin absolutely loved her stay and especially enjoyed playing with the toys Ginny provided. Ginny was very attentive and caring, and we truly appreciated the constant updates and photos that kept us reassured about how Muffin was doing. It was clear Muffin was happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. We would 100% trust Ginny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving and reliable care for their pet.”
“Lylle was absolutely amazing! He looked after my German Shepherd, Alpha, for about a week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, he was incredibly kind, communicative, and professional. He also has such a wonderful family, and Alpha clearly loved being around them he looked so happy and comfortable the entire time. Lylle took exceptional care of Alpha, regularly sending me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Lylle made the whole process effortless. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Truly a 10/10 experience! ⭐️”
“I can’t recommend Jeff enough! He was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. Luke was happy, well cared for, and relaxed when I returned. Jeff kept me updated and followed all instructions perfectly. Will 100% book again.”
“Hayley did a great job taking care of my dog , he’s 14 with diabetes, so not a lot of dog sitters want to take on the responsibility of giving insulin twice a day plus Leo has a few habits that can be challenging when he need to eat his food, so patience is very important. Haley took on a huge responsibility for a week for my husband and I to go on vacation. She messaged me every day and Leo settled very well after a couple of days and I felt very comfortable with leaving him with her , she did a great job . Definitely recommend”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pickering 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 Pickering
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:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
