“Hayley and Jake took wonderful care of our 11 month old English Sheepdog -Henry. Hayley made sure to keep us informed on how Henry was doing and sending daily pictures. When we came to pick Henry up- you can tell he was well looked after as he looked happy and relaxed. My family and I are so glad we found Hayley and Jake - we now have a trusted sitter who will love and spoil Henry when we are away. Thank you both 😊”

“First time leaving our Kira with a sitter or someone that was not a family member. Lori took great care or her and was able to give her all the love and attention she needed. As well as her little helpers. Couldn't ask for more.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Cici has been amazing. We left Sven for 7 days with her and the experience has been very good. We got photos and videos multiple times a day. Her responses were almost immediate for any questions we had. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and at the end of the stay she gave a few recommendations regarding training and diet. Will definitely consider Cici for any future boarding needs and would recommend her for anyone looking for a very caring dog boarding person.”

They provided excellent care and attention, sent updates with photos and videos, and spent lots of time playing fetch with my energetic pup. It gave me peace of mind knowing my young pup was happy and well cared for. I would book with her again :)”

“Jessica and her family were absolutely amazing with my dog, Stanley! From the regular updates and sweet photos, it was clear he felt comfortable and cared for. Jessica was responsive, thoughtful, kind, and very accommodating. Stanley had the best time and I know he’s already looking forward to his next visit! I highly recommend Jessica and her family to anyone looking for a lovable and reliable sitter.”

“I have no words to describe how amazing Shirley was with Apollo! We had not left Apollo in 4 years and Shirley took amazing care of him, sending us videos and pics of him everyday while we were on our vacation in Europe!! I’m so happy we found Shirley so now we can go on vacay more often!”

“Our dog had such a great time with Leanne and her dog, along with some other pals in her care. She was kind and took such good care of our girl and she came home very happy!”

“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.”

“Siddharth and his family took exceptional care of our dog, Chewie, while we were away on a two-week vacation. From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease knowing Chewie was in such loving hands. We received regular updates with photos, and Chewie looked genuinely happy and relaxed in every single one. We were also kept informed about how well he was eating and what his days looked like, which we truly appreciated. One of the biggest signs of how well he was cared for was when we picked Chewie up—he wasn’t overly excited to see us, which honestly said it all. It was clear he felt comfortable, secure, and loved in their home. The photos showed Chewie interacting with all members of the family, including even the tiniest new additions, which was incredibly heartwarming. Siddharth and his family are true dog lovers—possibly even more than we are, which we didn’t think was possible! We couldn’t have asked for a better home for Chewie while we were away, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their dog.”

“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. :)”

“Amrit took care of our dog for 6 days while we were vacationing. Charlie was very well cared for and we were able to be at peace on our vacation due to her updates and photos . I also really liked the fact that Amrit doesn’t have any other pets , making her home the perfect fit for our dog . I will 100% rebook with Amrit .”

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.

Ella loves her stays with her best friend Zuzuuu .. thank you Heli and Chintankumar for always taking such great care of her.. she always comes back with happy tail wags and super fun energy. Appreciated all the updates though out the week and knowing Ella is with you I never worry and actually get to enjoy my vacation. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your fur baby look no further.

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.
