“If I could only give more than 5 stars, I would do so. Jingjing is a superb sitter! She always gives you an update about what’s happening with your pet for you not to worry. She’s very flexible and highly accommodating. She’s also very knowledgeable about taking care of pets. I would definitely leave Sasha to Jingjing’s care if I ever need a sitter again. :)”
“My two pups had such a relaxing time with Menghan I don’t think they wanted to come back from their “vacation”. I appreciate the regular updates, cleanliness and poop report! I was put to ease once I knew that the pups liked her and was comfortable around her.”
“I never thought I could find a sitters like Maaya and her partner. Charlie was in the best of hands with them during my 3 week holiday. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone that will treat your loved one as their own. Thank you for everything ❤️”
“Thank you so much, Andrea and Sergio! They have watched our dog, Mochi, overnight on multiple occasions. By the third time, when Sergio arrived to pick her up, Mochi was pulling the leash to run to him, tail wagging with excitement. They sent us regular updates throughout our trip showing Mochi and explaining how she was handling the changes and adapting to her new environment. They even went so far as to help train her to walk properly while leashed! This gave us great comfort and allowed us to enjoy our vacation since we knew Mochi was safe and loved.”
“I am so glad we found Minh to take care of our girl. He was so easy to talk to and organize with. Most importantly I could see how much my dog was well taken care of. Minh sent me daily photos of walks and cuddles. My dog can be a bit high maintenance when it comes to some of her walking behaviour and Minh seemed to have the magic touch with her. So grateful to Minh and his wife Winnie we will absolutely be booking with them again.”
“I Left my 2 dogs with her for 11 days and she did amazing! She took such good care of them and I got lots of pictures and videos throughout their stay! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Karolina and her partner took excellent care of our dog Poppy! Karolina was very conscientious and considerate about introducing our dog to her dogs, and made sure everyone was comfortable. Poppy had a great time with her new pack, and got lots of exercise. Karolina’s experience caring for dogs was evident - she kept us in the loop on how things were going, was accommodating and creative with Poppy’s quirks, and clearly knows a lot about dogs and their behaviour, and we would happily trust her again with Poppy’s care. Thanks for opening your home to Poppy, she had so much fun! She misses her pack already <3”
“Frank and Maye were vary accomodation and took all the steps to make sure our Fred will have a comfortable stay. They even arranged a pre-trip visit to see the environment. They sent us many updates through out the day and kept Fred active during the stay. Very loving home I can recommend for anyone!”
“Rocko was in great hands with Madison over the month of July!! I was so worried he would be sad being away from us for so long but it seemed quite the opposite!! He definitely had a blast. Madison was so kind. 100% recommend if you’re looking for a sitter in Vancouver. She’s the first we’ll be reaching out to when we head out of town next!”
“It was our first time leaving our dog for 3 days, and we honestly couldn’t be more grateful to have left her with Connie. Her schedule was followed and she got so much attention, treats, and love, especially during playtime with her dogs, cats, and family! We felt very at ease the whole time we were away knowing she was in such good hands.”
“We are so grateful to have found Cara! She took the time to read through Kirkland’s profile thoroughly, proposed a thoughtful daily itinerary, organized a meet and greet, and even followed up with detailed notes afterward. She remembered all the little training and lifestyle details—even before we met in person. And once we did meet, her genuine care and love for dogs were immediately clear. Throughout Kirkland’s stay, Cara kept us updated with photos and videos, and was always responsive and organized. Kirkland came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We feel so lucky to know she is welcomed back—without a doubt, we will book with Cara again!”
“Ranah and Franki took excellent care of our pup Taco! They gave us consistent updates and went above and beyond to try and meet his needs. We would definitely trust them to watch Taco again in the future!”
“I am pretty sure this is Arjun’s first client order. I left my two cats with him for almost 18 days, unsure what it will end up with. . During the whole 18 days, he kept sending me the daily short videos of the cats, made me feel very comfortable knowing my cats are under good care. Upon my return, both cats are found peaceful and healthy and happy. Arjun went ahead bought some cat toys for my cats to plays with, and he even offered for me to take those toys home if I want. He is so sincere with a genuine good caring heart. He has a big dog and amazingly my cats stay in harmony with the dog as well. If I am away again, no doubt that I will be happily booking with Arjun again. Highly recommended. Bravo.”
“Xuanhanyue was amazing with Gala! She was so kind and caring, and it was clear that Gala was very comfortable and happy with her. Gala also made a new friend named Bubble, Xuan’s pet poodle. Bubble kept Gala company the entire time and made her stay very enjoyable. I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind. I’d definitely have Xuanhanyue look after Gala again!”
“Yumiko watched my dog for a few days while I was out of town, and I couldn’t have been happier with her care! She was very friendly, responsive, and attentive from the start. She took my dog on lots of walks and sent me daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated. My dog always looked so happy and comfortable in the photos! My dog can sometimes be nervous around other dogs, and Yumiko took the time to introduce them slowly, which went really well. It was clear she genuinely cares about dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in her care, and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Jungho and family are wonderful people and took great care of our rescue Luna. She has stayed with them several times now and I feel she is safe, happy, and well-loved with them!”
“I would like to share how incredible my experience was boarding my dog with Mandy and Jacky during my recent two-week vacation. They are truly amazing and treated my dog just like a member of their own family. I especially appreciated receiving at least two detailed updates every day, complete with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Their level of professionalism is outstanding. I was so impressed by the nightly routine they established with my dog, which included cleaning, brushing his fur and his teeth. We love them and will definitely be going back. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.”

I knew the moment I picked Dooly up how much he loved being there and how comfortable he was. 😊 Daisy kept us updated with photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, she cared for our baby with genuine love, warmth, and professionalism. I would trust Daisy with Dooly anytime without hesitation. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she gave him! ❤️🐾
Warshi is excellent pet care. She doesn’t do the caring as a job only, she does it with her heart and all her love. My dog Fafa had been taken care for a week and my dog was obviously happy and excited to play with her dog Sophie. I strongly recommend everyone let their dogs to be care by Warshi, and Myself would definitely come back to her again.
Connie was an absolute godsend! She took my dog in on short notice and was incredibly accommodating and welcoming. I very quickly felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She was extremely professional and consistent with sending daily photos and updates! Even went above and beyond by washing his belongings before I picked him up! I’m very grateful and would highly recommend! 🙏🏾
Ani was great with Minnie. She took the time to make sure Minnie was comfortable and settled in right from drop-off, and throughout the week she sent lots of photos and kept me up to date. It was clear Minnie was getting plenty of love and was very comfortable in Ani’s calm, relaxed household. She came home happy and settled, and I felt completely confident that she was in good hands while I was away. Ani was also great to deal with and very responsive. I’ll definitely be asking her to look after Minnie again.
Mandy and Jacky took great care of Lily and made sure she was comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Lily seemed happy and well cared for when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend them and would be happy to have them look after Lily again!
Xuanhanyue was amazing with Gala! She was so kind and caring, and it was clear that Gala was very comfortable and happy with her. Gala also made a new friend named Bubble, Xuan’s pet poodle. Bubble kept Gala company the entire time and made her stay very enjoyable. I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind. I’d definitely have Xuanhanyue look after Gala again!
From start to finish, Catherine and her dog Summer were amazing hosts to our dog Dizzy. Catherine was kind, caring, flexible and responsible. We were provided with regular updates and lots of photos. Dizzy had a most pleasant stay and we are so grateful to have this home away from home!
Sinsi was very responsive and accommodating to my husky’s needs. While it was a short notice booking she took the time to meet with me and Jasmyn first to ensure we were a good fit. Regular photo updates were also provided. I would happily rebook when the time comes! Thank you
We recently did a trial stay with Héctor and Jeanette for our dog Ettore, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how it went. It was Ettore’s first time staying with them, so I was a little nervous at the beginning… but they were amazing from the start. They were incredibly patient and really took the time to understand his personality. They gave him space when he needed it, but were also very attentive and caring, which made such a difference in helping him feel comfortable. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they look after. By the end of the stay, Ettore seemed relaxed and at ease, which says everything. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust them again, especially for a longer stay.
Chenhui provided exceptional care for Jammy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept us updated throughout the stay with so many photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind. She carefully followed all of Jammy’s care instructions and reached out whenever she had any clarifying questions, showing how attentive and responsible she is. Her dog, Bruno, was a wonderful companion for Jammy, and the other furry friends, Mochi and Ginger, made the experience even more fun. Jammy enjoyed plenty of long walks and even had an exciting car ride to a regional park! Chenhui did an amazing job managing the needs of all the dogs while ensuring each one received individual attention and care. We were especially impressed during the meet-and-greet process. She made sure we were completely comfortable with Bruno being around Jammy and even went the extra mile by arranging a second meet-and-greet to ensure the dogs got along well before the stay. It’s clear that Chenhui genuinely loves and understands dogs. We felt completely at ease knowing Jammy was in such caring hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend Chenhui to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and dedicated dog sitter!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Richmond 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 Richmond
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:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
