“Nien Tzu looked after Daisy, our black labradoodle, for the first time from Aug 1-17. We knew she was in good hands by the number of questions Nien asked initially to make sure she understood Daisy’s needs and habits. While we were away we got daily updates with photos and videos which we really appreciated. Nien took Daisy on lots of different types of walks and went even further afield from Richmond to Pacific Spirit Park. The extra effort Nien went meant alot to us. We highly recommend her !”
“Elizabeth and Dominic were incredible pet sitters! I always felt like Angus was in great hands and knew he was having a great time through some lovely pictures and updates on what he was up to. I would not hesitate to ask Elizabeth and Dominic to take care of him again. Thank you so much!!”
“Michelle took good care of my dog but she is best suited for medium/light weight dogs. I have a golden which she was looking after and my dog decided to throw tantrums asking for longer walks, sleeping on road which requires more strength for handling giving her a hard time. I got regular updates from her for my booking.”
“Yunita and her family did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, Bobby. She was knowledgeably, friendly and accommodating. We received pictures and updates which was great. We felt very comfortable and confident leaving our dog with her. She took great care of Bobby and we’re looking forward to working with her again in the near future. Thank you so much Yunita, we’re so glad we found you!”
“We had a great experience with Hilary. She took excellent care of Cooper. She kept us updated daily with messages and photos. We will definitely be booking again with her. Thank you for taking such good care of him.”
“Diana and Nuree kept me updated everyday while Charlie was there. Charlie need some time to adjust and they were really patient with him. He had a wonderful time. Would stay again, Thank you!”
“Jie was an excellent choice! Our dog needed extra care and attention due to a recent surgery. Jie send regular updates and pictures. Most importantly our dog came back happy. Looking forward to rebooking with Jie again.”
“We were very happy with Jeffrey’s attentive care of our little dog, who tends to be anxious around new people. Jeffrey is responsible, communicates well and understands the needs of dogs very well.”
“Maaya did a great job looking after our dog Toby. Toby had a great time and Maaya did an excellent job communicating how Toby was doing and sent a lot of really great pictures. Would not hesitate to recommend Maaya to other dog owners!”
About: Hello! I've been a dog owner for more than 15 years now, owning some of the most stubborn one and also helping take care of neighbors and friend's pets! I've gone through multiple training courses in obedience training and also enrolled previously in ESA Pet Training. I would love to be your furry friend's new friend! I have a 2 Year Old Samoyed that is super friendly and always looking for a new friend. Me and my partner have the flexibility to give pets a lot of attention with our jobs and also be able to let them release their energy in a open dog park in our building. I do dog watching and dog walking. I will only board some dogs that I feel comfortable with and my Samoyed is okay with staying the night. They will have the whole living room area to explore, a patio to enjoy the air and also a beautiful view to people/dog watch from my apartment!
“Odis first time staying with Nam. We couldn't be happier with the experience. 3 nights went by and was very well taken care of. I think he's got better treatment there than at home. 😂 Nam was wonderful, and it gave us peace of mind knowing Odis was in good hands. Highly recommended!”
“My mini dachshund Reef stayed with Jennifer and David for the first time, and she got lots of walks and lots of cuddles. I also got lots of pictures throughout the day which was very nice. I'm happy to have found a dog-loving family in North Vancouver who can take care of Reef when I go on vacation!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid - big ones and small ones. In fact, I like them so much, that I made it my job. I have a Pomeranian girl myself and she is joy of my life. I like taking pups on long walks and spoil them with snacks. I used to shelter dogs when I lived in Vietnam Me and my husband are usually home, at least one of us. So it’s easy for us to take care of pets and take them out on walks. I take pets for walks, I give them belly rubs, snacks and play with them. They also can play with my dog. I feed them according to owner's preferences.
“Nancy was so good with Ziggy. We did a meet and greet the week before Ziggy stayed with her. The day I dropped him off for his weekend stay he saw Nancy and immediately was excited about seeing her. That is always a good sign. It was obvious that Ziggy was well loved and cared for. I would highly recommend Nancy as a sitter for your dog.”
“Aylin was absolutely wonderful with Qiuqiu! She is incredibly caring, attentive, patient, and responsible. She treated Qiuqiu like a member of her own family and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout her stay. She also took her out for walks and fun outings every day and kept us updated with lovely photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We could really tell how much she genuinely loves and cares about animals. Qiuqiu looked so relaxed and happy with her! We feel very lucky to have found Aylin and would absolutely trust her with Qiuqiu again. Highly recommended! ❤️🐾”
“Natasha is a true professional dog sitter. She was so understanding and compassionate towards my 13 year old lab with mobility issues. It gets increasingly difficult to leave him when I have to travel but having someone you can trust makes the anxiety of leaving them less. Natasha messaged daily and provided updates and pictures. I was greatly appreciative of the exhaustive Google form that ensured safety, behavior and understanding for all and the thoughful gift upon pick up. Highly recommended.”
“Megan was one of the nicest and most caring Sitter for our doggy Mario. Mario was so happy to be with Megan and had an amazing time. I highly recommend Megan and will definitely seek her out again in the future. Thanks for everything.”

Jing is the first sitter I used on Rover and I couldn’t be more glad that I chose her! My senior golden retriever had such a good time at her place and received so much love and company from Jing and her family. Jing also sent me lots of photos and videos of my dog during the stay and I really appreciate that. I would choose Jing to sit my dog again without a doubt and would recommend her to anyone with a dog that loves to be around people :-)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars! Homer absolutely loves staying with Rui! We couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience. Everything went smoothly, and there were no issues whatsoever. Rui was wonderful about sending daily pictures and videos along with updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was reassuring to see Homer happy and well taken care of. We truly appreciate the care and attention Rui gave him. Highly recommend, and we would definitely book again!
My fluffy boy has a very unique personality and can be quite a handful! Even another sitter turned him down, but she welcomed my big, stubborn boy with so much patience, kindness, and love. Now he absolutely adores her! ❤️ She also sent me daily photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m truly grateful for her care and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Highly recommended! 🥰
Every time I leave Belle with Maye and Frank, I have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands. They’ve become like a second family to her, and it’s clear how much Belle loves them! It’s such a wonderful feeling knowing my girl is happy, comfortable, and well taken care of while I’m away. I couldn’t recommend them enough! ❤️
Yaqiu did an amazing job taking care of Cassia. It was so convenient to drop her off because she already had a litter box and scratching posts, so I just had to bring her food and some toys. She sent me multiple updates daily as requested and it was clear Cassia had settled in well and was comfortable with Yaqiu and her family. Would definitely book again!
Tammy was amazing! My little one stayed with her overnight and had the BEST time with lots of playing, cuddles, and lots of walks. Tammy send me frequent (and very cute) updates with pictures. This ensured that my baby was in good hands. The best thing about Tammy is that you can tell she really loves animals and understands their needs. This is exactly what I look for in a puppy sitter ! 100% recommend!
Finding a sitter like Anisa was an absolute stroke of luck! She was a perfect sitter in every way, and you can truly feel how much she genuinely loves and cares for dogs. My dog is quite particular, so even though she’s 13, this was our very first time leaving her with an individual pet sitter instead of a professional facility. All of my worries vanished—Anisa gave her the absolute best care. She took her on so many walks and shared frequent photo updates, which gave me immense peace of mind. I could clearly see from the photos that my dog was having such a wonderful time! Thanks to Anisa, I was able to enjoy my trip without any worry. Thank you so much again, Anisa!♥️
Mario spent 5 nights with Christine and her family, I can tell Mario was happy there. I received regular updates and pictures of Mario while I was away, i was glad to know Mario have a responsible sitter. They kept a clean home and have a fenced backyard for Mario to run free. I would love to have repeat bookings in future!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile. Look at other pet parent reviews and repeat pet parent booking rates for an idea of their pet care exp erience.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.
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.
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.
