I was very worried to leave him for boarding for the first time but they both updated me regularly, and Koda was happy and healthy ☺️ Because something came up almost a month later after this trip, I didn’t hesitate to book his stay at their home again! 10/10 I would recommend 😊”

The many photos and videos they sent showed he was relaxed and loving all the attention they showered on him, including playing lots of fetch in their fenced backyard, cuddles on the couch and sleeping with them. They took Milo for regular walks with their friendly dog Lily, and even to the beach after which Joanne bathed and brushed him. When we arrived for pick-up, Milo just wanted to continue playing in the environment he obviously felt so comfortable. Thank you so much for your wonderful care!”

“Sara is a super attentive, knowledgeable and caring cat sitter. She was willing to take my cat Strudel for him first rover experience over a long weekend and provided thoughtful care and frequent video updates to me. He had his own room and ensuite to help him feel safe in a new environment. Unfortunately Strudel played hide and seek in the house with Sara near the end of the visit but was found safe and sound. Sara generously came by to drop off an item left behind after his stay. Thank you!”
“I recently entrusted my furry friend to Brittaney and Tommy for a two-week stay, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! They took the time to understand my pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks, which gave me peace of mind while we were away. Throughout the two weeks, B&T sent regular updates with photos, showing my pet happy, playful, and well-cared for. Their home was clean, safe, and pet-friendly, creating the perfect environment for my dog/cat to feel at home. I returned to a healthy, content pet who clearly enjoyed their stay. B&T are reliable, communicative, and truly passionate about what they do. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Thank you for taking such great care of Mickey! I couldn’t imagine a better place for her while we were away. As an older dog, Mickey needs some extra attention, and Tracy went above and beyond to keep her happy. She sent photos and updates every day, and gave Mickey her caring, loving, proficient attention. For me this meant piece of mind. Couldn’t be more grateful - and thrilled with Tracy’s professionalism and kindness - 5 stars!”

Jammy enjoyed her stay with Sandra. Sandra provided regular updates and sent us pictures which put us at ease. She followed all instructions and made sure Jammy felt safe and relaxed. Jammy enjoyed playing with the kids as well and all the long walks! Thanks Sandra!
My dog had such a great and peaceful time at her place. Thank you so much for taking care of him for a month. Really nice people and I would definitely drop off my dog again whenever I have a trip. Thank you for giving me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands.☺️ she will send me pics of my dog and keeping me updated, which is amazing.
Jessie took such wonderful care of Max, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter. She genuinely cared for him and kept me updated with lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was heartwarming to see how happy Max was and how quickly he bonded with Bubbles (her pup) and settled into her home. Knowing he was comfortable, loved, and having fun made all the difference. I would absolutely book with Jessie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dogsitter.
Anisa did great with our older malinois Skye. She was understanding of her quirks and our instructions and was super communicative through Skye's stay. Skye was happy and calm when I picked her up and seemed to have a good time with Anisa. Would highly recommend her!
Jin is a very good pet sitter ! She took great care of our senior poodle noodle while we were out of town . She also sent photos and videos of him everyday with updates of his daily routine. This was a very nice vacation for noodle and we would highly recommend her to our furry friends :)
Provider graciously agreed to have us drop off Titan at 10 pm (2 hours late) -- which helped our situation tremendously. Titan, despite separation issues, seemed comfortable and unstressed both at drop off and at pick up times. Seemed generally well taken care of and happy. Wouldn't hesitate to book another boarding with Josh. Apologies to Josh for all the shedding! It can be a full-time job to keep on top of.
I appreciate Zhikun's willingness to take Luna on short notice when all of our other prospects had fallen through. I had not been aware of rover.com until a kennel owner turned us down because the notice was too short and then told me about it as an alternative. I basically signed up and made our booking that same day. Luna did lose a bit of weight but from our perspective that was a good thing because our vet. had been warning us about her being a little overweight.

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.
