“Michaela was wonderful, she kept us updated with pictures on how Ollie was doing. Lots of walks, cuddles and playtime. Ollie had a great time and we will definitely use Michaela again.”
“I am reviewing for the past two stays :) Another wonderful holiday for Oliver. Lost count now of how many times he has stayed with Lynda. He's really very happy to go to Lynda's and very calm when he comes home. I know he's in the best hands, gets lot of attention, is loved, is with fun little friends. Lynda is the BEST!”
“Melody and Scott were amazing and took such great care of Billie. They communicated well, sending regular updates and really made sure Billie was happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be in touch again for future boarding.”
“This was our first time leaving Maya with a non family member and being a nervous dog was concerned especially as we were planning a 2 week away. We set up an initial meet and greet which immediately went well and followed by 1 overnight “test run”. In all cases Maya seemed very comfortable and Michael was attentive and provided updates. During our 2 weeks away we got daily updates and pictures and could see that Maya was doing well and in good hands. The peace of mind this gave us while away was so reassuring. We will definitely call on Michael again for our next time away with no hesitation.”
“What an amazing first experience with Rover, and especially with Jennifer and her family. Jasper has separation anxiety, and is just a young puppy, yet Jennifer went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable, welcomed and at home. We were only gone for one night, but received several updates and the sweetest of photos. Jennifer, thank you so much for taking wonderful care of our “baby”, and easing our minds! We look forward to our next opportunity to work with you! Jasper and family!”
“Josee is an **amazing** dog sitter! She connected with our energetic Boston Terrier in minutes and kept him busy and entertained while we were away. She is kind, organized and has the 'magic touch ' with animals! Highly recommend! Merci beaucoup Josee!!!”
“Kirstin and Justin looked after of our girl Frankie and all I can say is wow. They took amazing care of her and provided updates throughout her stay. They answered all questions we had and were proactive in providing a fun and structured atmosphere for her to thrive in. Thanks again. It’s reassuring to know that Frankie has a home away from home.”
“My dog Billy stayed with Lucas and Thyara for 5 days in their beautiful home. Lucas and Thyara are very friendly. They were very welcoming to Billy. They are very caring couple, they wanted to know all about him. They sent me pictures every day, I liked that. I can tell he enjoyed his stay. I would give them my highest recommendation. Thank you Luke and Thyara !”
“Lisa and Jason were absolutely wonderful with Storm! They went above and beyond to make our little guy feel comfortable while we were away. And the pictures we received were so cute!!!! Thank you!”
“Great! My dachshund loves it there. We did one night trial before the date and he had lots of fun. He stayed a week. I'd brought his bed, some toys. Got lots of updates. Marvin has a new BFF”
“Five paws rating!!!! We felt very comfortable with Ruby and Gordon taking care of Puppy. They sent us pictures and videos. We will book with them again when necessary. Thank you!!!”
“Kimberley was excellent. Our Lily has never been good with kennels, so our last option was to seek someone to look after her in their home. Kimberley was so patient and easy going. It takes Lily a bit to calm down when in new surroundings. Kimberley kept us up to date on how she was doing, which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be looking to rebook with her! Highly recommend!”
“Catherine has provided the usual stellar care that we have become accustom to. The dogs are happy going to stay and they enjoy their interaction with Daisy. Very highly recommended.”
“Suzanne and Adrian were the best host for our dog. Our dog chewed its leash but they were kind enough to get a replacement and a bonus toy :-). They were great in accommodating our last minute request and they were sure to give us heads up and updates of our dog every day. Keep up good job S&A”
“Tanya and her family were amazing !!! She kept me updated and sent me a lot of pictures !!! :) They cuddled and gave Wavi a lot of love . He was outside a lot , their dogs love mine sooo that wassss cute ! They also give Wavi a goodie bag, I really recommend Tanya !!”
“Termeh was wonderful! We had a last minute trip and she replied quickly to our request, and was very communicative throughout our dogs entire stay. We loved all the updates and pictures of our little guy! We can’t wait to book again!”
“Christopher and his partner were fantastic sitters for my dog Monty. They took him out for multiple walks a day, kept him to his usual routine and updated us with plenty of photos. They were receptive to any asks/questions that we had and also took the time to ask me necessary questions to take care of my dog. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Sheyla and Olivia were awesome with our Bernese. Right away, she adored them. They took her for multiple walks each day and sent updates often. It was clear that our dog was getting more than enough attention with Sheyla and Olivia! I would absolutely re-book them!”
“April watched my 1.5 year-old corgi, Norman, for the second time this past weekend. At the last minute, I had to extend his stay an extra night and she was very understanding and accommodating in making alternative arrangements for pick-up. Both times that I've picked Norman up, he's been a happy, tired boy! As soon as I drop him off, he runs right into the house without hesitation and I don't doubt he makes himself right at home, which is comforting while I'm away. I'll gladly rebook with April again :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pontiac 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 Pontiac
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
