“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!”
“Wilson was well looked after by Johanna during his recent visit. I was glad that she was able to give him his oral medication twice daily as he really doesn't like it. I am hoping Johanna will be available for another visit soon.”
“Madeleine took such amazing care of Axel! Her communication was excellent and she was flexible with timing changes. When I picked up Axel, I could tell he had an amazing few days and he was super happy. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be leaving Axel with her again. Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“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 !!”
“Maria was great with our dog, Milu. She would keep us updated throughout and sent pictures where I could tell my dog was comfortable and happy. During the 6 days that Milu was with Maria everything went well. Thank you very much for taking such good care of Milu!”
“My dog was so tired after a great stay! I got lots of amazing updates and photos. Great family home with fenced backyard and a fabulous family. Will have my sweet baby boy there again for sure ♥️”
“We are so lucky that we were able to book in with Qianzhi! She was absolutely lovely and took such wonderful care of Sophie. We got lots of photos while we were away and lots of updates. We will absolutely be sending Sophie the next time we’re out of town ◡̈”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Bruiser had such a fun stay with Hui! He loved playing with Mibao and his beautiful walks. I really appreciated all of the photos and videos from Hui, and how much she cared for Bruiser while I was away. I would recommend Hui to anyone!”
“Amazing experience. It was the first time that I leave my dog to someone else so I was a little bit nervous about it. Stephanie had been amazing and accommodating, she took care of my Sugar like she would do with her own puppy. She kept me updated by sending me texts and pictures of my dog. Both Sugar and I are happy with the experience. I will definitely reach out again next time I need to dogsit my Sugar :)”
“We are so grateful for Lindsay and her family for taking great care of our Maisie girl! It was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our dog for a few nights while we were out of town. We felt so at ease the whole time and received updates and photos throughout the sitting. Maisie looked so happy in the photos we received and I’m sure she felt at ease as well!”
“Laurie was an amazing sitter who has a deep love for frenchies as a former Frenchie owner herself. She is used to all the little quirks they come with! No issues whatsoever during our booking. Sent pics during the whole thing as well. We will definitely be repeat clients ❤️”
“Susana provided excellent care for my havapoo. I can tell this by the way my for treated Susana’s family when we picked her up - she definitely felt attached to everyone in the family! Will definitely stay with Susana in future. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Kaori was pleasure to deal with! Her professionalism and love for animals shines throughout the whole process. Our Shihtzu Poodle boarded with her over the weekend and during the stay, she sent us detailed feedback and multiple photos frequently. We don't take the care of our dog lightly and Kaori delivered. The fact that she has a veterinary background also made us feel at ease. 5 STARS, 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.”
“Kim and her family took great care of Mingus! She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent us a cute pic of him snuggled up with her family. He was definitely pooped when he came home because he was snoozing and snoring for the rest of the day! Big thanks to Kim and her family!”

Sheona took excellent care of my dogs. They both were completely comfortable with her from the start. She took them on multiple walks, gave them their meds and shared snuggle times throughout the visit. The photos and video clips she sent showed 2 very happy and content dogs.

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 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 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.
