“Our pup had an amazing time overnight with Janis in her cozy home. Janis takes great care of your dog and follows your daily routines to ensure your pup is comfortable (even putting on snowsuits and booties in this cold winter weather!). She has great communication and sends photos to make you feel at ease. We will be repeat clients because our pup already wants to visit Janis again!”
“I wanna thank Melissa and Nigel for taking excellent care of our baby Nala. I would definitely go back to them when looking for someone knowledgeable that gives a lot of attention and love to our dog while we are away. and the pictures Melissa sends throughout the day are the best! :)”
“We were so lucky to have found Natalie and Daniel to care for our morkie Khloe. We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this family caring for our dog during her seven-night stay. From the moment we met them, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and treat them as part of the family. Throughout our dog’s stay, they shared photos and updates that gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious from every picture that she felt comfortable, happy, and right at home. Seeing her so relaxed and well cared for while we were away meant so much to us. What made the experience even more special was the kindness and thoughtfulness of the entire family. Their two children made goodbye cards for our dog, sharing how much they enjoyed spending time with her and how they hoped to see her again. It was such a sweet and heartfelt gesture that truly reflected the caring environment they provide. The family was accommodating, friendly, communicative, and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog and are incredibly grateful for the love and attention they gave her. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitter. Our dog was treated like one of their own, and we would happily have her stay with them again in the future. This version would work well on platforms such as Rover, Pawshake, Facebook, Google Reviews, or any other pet-sitting review site.”
“Hiromi was super kind and kept me in the loop the whole time. I was a bit nervous about Max staying with another dog, but she handled everything well. Her dog Tammy is super sweet and well-behaved—they ended up becoming best friends! I’m pretty sure Max had a great time. I’ll definitely book with Hiromi again. Thanks so much for taking such good care of him!”
“Pei Shan took great care of my puppy who came home happy and clearly well loved. She kept me updated with messages and photos. I felt comfortable to have her to take care of my puppy. I highly recommend her to anyone who looks for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“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!”
“It was our first time leaving our boy with someone, we were so stressed but when I met jacky and yunn I was relieved. They are so amazing, great energy and vibe, they kept sending me photos and videos of our boy. They took such a good care of him. 100% your pet will be in safe hands.”
“Absolutely phenomenal experience for my pet and I. Lily was updating us periodically and extremely responsive while I was away. Her and her husband created such a comfortable and safe space that my dog was able to adapt quickly. By the time I came to pick up my dog, she was so attached to Lily and the way she looked at her was nothing but love! This not only shows professionalism but also the passion in their care for animals. I highly suggest those who are reading this to book your petcare with them. You will not be disappointed!!”
“Emma and Richard were so patient with Bella, this was first time left by herself for long period of time. I know my Bella loves to be outside and cry’s if she can’t go in backyard, I was worried that she couldn’t go out due unfence yard. I bought a stake with long leash and she loved being outside. I would get updates almost every day with a least 2 pics of Bella on her walks and being outside in backyard. I would definitely book Emma and Richard again in heartbeat. There communication and understanding how I felt leaving my dog for the first time was undeniable understood. They also took Bella out for her walks 3x of day which was good to keep her calm and relaxed in a new home. Now I can feel more relaxed knowing how much they care for Bella. I look forward to booking Bella again. :)”
“Manni was a lifesaver on short notice - I booked last minute for an out-of-town trip and she jumped right in without missing a beat. Took the time to really get to know Zack and his routine, and sent frequent photo updates the whole time so I never had to worry. Would book with her again without hesitation.”
“Diana and her family was amazing! We were so worried for Elvis who has separation anxiety, but it gave us so much comfort knowing he was in good hands. Love all the photos and updates that Diana sent us. We are definitely rebooking!”
“Once again we are beyond thrilled with Allyson and her daughter watching our Phoebe , We have no worries, and we know she is as comfortable as being at home! Thank you again!!!”

“Lisa was fantastic with Amar! We felt very comfortable leaving our furbaby with her. Lots of great updates and communication was prompt and easy! We would definitely recommend kids, and we will come back again, without hesitation!”
“Meghna and family took great care of our girl. They were so caring and we could tell from all photos and updates that our girl was having a great time and was made to feel very comfortable. We will certainly book with Meghna again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pickering
We are very happy with the loving care provided by Alexa and Andrew to our fur baby Rex. Our pet dog was very well taken care of while we were away for a weekend attending a funeral. Both Alexa and Andrew were amazing with rex and we will gladly use them again and recommend them to anyone. They gave us daily updates with pictures. We really appreciate their service. Thank you Alexa and Andew!
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.

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 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.
