“Catia was incredibly attentive to my dog while she was boarded. My dog was incredibly well taken care of and had exciting enrichment opportunities (playing with others, trips to the park, time in the backyard, and quality snuggle time indoors). Catia offered a safe and fun home for my dog to board while I was away and sent many updates while I was away. I would absolutely book with Catia again!”
“I left my dog Skye with Jeff for a night and he had such a great time! He sent me lots of photos and videos, and Skye looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. He got tons of walks and was really well taken care of. Communication with Jeff was great and super responsive and easy to talk to. Definitely will be booking again!”
“Thank you Jenn & Brian for taking such great care of Rooney, just like last time. Thanks for all the pics and videos while we were away! Clearly he had a blast playing with your pups, and he also came home nice and clean!! 😀 You guys are the best!”
“Monique took great care of our dog Theo. She was very responsive over text and accommodated changes in our drop off and pick up times. She also sent photo updates, which we appreciated. Would recommend!”
“Used Charlette again and my pup had a great time! Longest I have been away and the daily pictures and updates were great. Vacation went better knowing he was in great care!”
“I would recommend Valerie! She took care of our big baby, a long-haired German Shepherd named Jaeger. She went above and beyond to administer his medication, give him treats and lots of love and even drove him home for us. She sends lots of pictures and gives frequent updates. Jaeger came back very happy and slept for days!”
“Heather and Matthew took good care of Mochi while I was away on the work trip. Mochi takes awhile to get used to new environments and people. However, she was able to adapt on the second day, which made her stay more enjoyable! Thank you Heather and Matthew.”
“Sandy and her partner were lovely to communicate & coordinate with and I received regular updates on Shadow’s stay with them. They have a big back yard that is fenced in that my dog loved to explore and a nice deck for him to sun tan on (his fav). Would highly recommend Sandy as a rover sitter!”
“Hayley was amazing! we could tell coco had a great time during her stay since she came home tired. She was very responsive and took care of all coco's needs. Definitely recommend her”
“I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it was to have Bev. She was watching my dog during this last snow event and not only did she reassure me because I couldn’t get back in time (plane cancelled) that she would gladly keep her as long as needed she went to the store and bought more of her dog food as I didn’t send enough. I couldn’t ask for anything more. It certainly made me feel great that my dogs care was one less thing I had to worry about. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”
“I have left my cat with Teena & Wayne a few times, even as long as 4 weeks one time. They have always taken good care of him. Its nice to have somewhere to leave your pet and not be worried about them. Teena is also very flexible and easy to communicate with.”
“Courtney and Allan were so great with our dog, Oliver! Over his 3-day stay, they took him for many walks, gave him lots of cuddles and were very communicative and sent lots of photos. He genuinely looked at home with them and it was so lovely to see. I’m sure that Oliver is excited for his next stay with Courtney and Allan!”
“Monica is the best. The dogs love her and we will trust her with our puppers for any time we need a pet sitter. She was extremely communicative- texts, videos, pictures- and we couldn't have asked for better.”
“I cannot recommend Trisha enough! She took care of my dog, Stitch, for three nights and four days, and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease she’s warm, kind, and clearly has a natural love for animals. Throughout the stay, Trisha went above and beyond to make sure Stitch felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos. Her home was welcoming, and it was clear she had created a safe and happy environment for pets. When I picked Stitch up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had bonded with her. That’s all I needed to see to know I made the right choice. Trisha is someone I trust completely with my dog, and I’m 100% leaving Stitch with her next time I travel. It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable and loving to count on. Thank you, Trisha!”
“Courtney’s provided the best stay for Amaya, our standard poodle. She was flexible about drop off time and pick up time as we were traveling from out of state to the Falls and coordinating with two other families. She treated Amaya like one of her own. We appreciated the photos and videos and attention she gave our girl. I don’t think Amaya missed us!”
“Miryam took amazing care of cooper! She sent lots of photos and kept us updated during his stay which helped put us at ease. Cooper didn't want to leave! Highly recommend Miryam and will be using her again :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Colborne
We had to leave our pup for 5 nights and we were anxious how things would turn out. Catia was very friendly, we could meet n greet with her and she took such nice care of our pup, she was always available to respond to questions, sent us constant updates, and it feels like our pup had a pretty awesome time with her. Would highly recommend Catia and we would certainly consider her services in the future.

- 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

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 .
