“Hao was fantastic he sent me pictures throughout the day and gave me updates on how Winter was doing as it was her first time. Their dog Burger is so cute and friendly they got along so well. They have a beautiful big backyard to run Around which Winter loves being outside, I will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much Hao and Emma for taking such good care of Winter.”
“Rie took great care of my lazy Beagle boy during the seven-day stay. She kept me informed with pictures of what he was doing and answered all of my questions too. We really liked that Rie has a dog too as Puchis really enjoyed playing with May a lot. Puchis got back home healthy and ready to carry on with our routines with ease.”
“Lucy was an amazing Rover sitter for our 15 month old Maltipoo, Teddy. She kept us updated consistently throughout the weekend, which we really appreciated and gave us total peace of mind. It was clear Teddy was in great hands. It also seemed like a great environment for dogs, with a clean and spacious property. We would not hesitate to leave Teddy with Lucy again anytime.”
“Jonathan was super helpful in caring for my dog and his separation anxiety during my time away. Typically when I return from a trip, he'll be super clingy and whiny with me, but this time he was okay and acted the same way he did when I come home from work, which showed me he had a great time. Jonathan was also great at sending me pictures and reports while I was away, which kept me from worrying too. If you're reading this Jon, thanks!!”
“Yuki had a wonderful stay with Mabel! This was her first time being away from us, and Mabel was so kind and patient in helping her settle in and gradually warm up to both her and the other pups. We really appreciated the thoughtful updates, photos, and videos too. It was so reassuring to see Yuki feeling more comfortable each day.”
“Zsuzsanna looked after my dog for over 2 weeks. During that time she kept me updated daily with photos of his stay. I could tell my dog really enjoyed his stay there, he loved playing and exploring her mature back yard and he made friends with her own pet dog. Zsuzsanna cared for my dog really well, and I would definitely leave him with her again!”
“Lisa is a phenomenal care provider. She took excellent care of Nunu and i would highly recommend her. I have finally found a great dog care provider for Nunu and i hope she's around for a while cause i plan to definitely use her services again.”
“Leizl and Mhae were great looking after Bennie and Ollie. Whenever we are away, we are fully confident that they will be taken care of. Leizl and Mhae also sent us many great pictures of their activities. Thanks a lot.”
“I really appreciate their help in taking care of my dog while my family and I went on vacation. I’m happy I found them and will definitely use them again next time”
“I’m so grateful for the wonderful care Li provided for Jelly. She is experienced, attentive, and genuinely cares about Jelly. She kept me updated with many photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was traveling. I could relax knowing my dog was in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa and Kam are so good to take care my dog. My dog Happy is first time to boarding. She was so nervous. Lisa sent me video every day, I can see happy getting used to their house, and made a friend. Specially thank Lisa let me pick up happy at mid of night when we just got home!”
“Xinbei is an amazing dog sitter. She made sure our dog received her medication regularly, went for daily walks and played lots of games at home. I would definitely use Xinbei again without hesitation.”
“I accidentally booked the wrong dates. Yvonne very much saved me here by booking them in for an extra day. Cats love her - see additional comments in next (full stay review)”
“I entrusted my dog to Galina for four days and was pleased to receive daily photo updates, which were very reassuring. Galina followed my instructions for my dog's diet, ensuring his well-being. Upon return, my dog was healthy and happy, though there were some challenges with anxiety and barking. It's clear that caring for pets can present unexpected situations, and communication is key. Galina showed dedication by maintaining a caring environment and keeping me informed. For those seeking a sitter who respects dietary needs and offers regular updates, Galina is a considerate choice.”
“Our first time using a sitter for Lily our 10 yr old Beagle. She takes meds twice a day and has a very spicy, vocal and unique personality. Zak honestly did so well with her. She's come back happy and a lot friendlier with other dogs! We would use him again in the future 100%. He sent us videos and pictures everyday and response time was practically instant even though we were across the pond in Europe with 5-6hr time difference. Super thankful and grateful for finding and booking him 🙏🏽🙏🏽✨highly recommend”
“We had such an amazing experience with Tsz. She went above and beyond while we were on vacation, consistently sending pictures and videos that gave us so much peace of mind. It really meant a lot to see how happy and well cared for our dog was while we were away. At the end of each day, she also provided detailed updates and notes about feedings, activities, and how everything went, which we truly appreciated. It showed how attentive and organized she is. Our 11-month-old Golden Retriever absolutely loved her, and it was clear she treated him like her own. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. 10/10 would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Agnes took really great care of our dog Peach. I can tell Peach was treated like family. I appreciated the frequent updates and quick responses throughout Peach’s stay. Agnes also went the extra mile when some unexpected issues came up and I appreciate it very much”
“Dommond and Hilda are terrific pet sitters. My Daisy loves going to stay with them. They spoil her with treats, walks and allow her on the furniture just like at home. Once she sees their Street, Daisy drags me to their door. Very happy with their services.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Richmond Hill is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
She is very sweet, caring, and helpful. I didn’t have time to bathe my dogs, but she helped bathe them, which was amazing. I noticed my dogs were so happy with her and felt very comfortable. She is the best dog sitter! If I ever need a dog sitter again, I will definitely call her. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my dogs!
Kenneth was incredible with our puppy Ozzy. They took great care of him. Followed our schedule and introduced new games for him. He came home happy and well loved. I feel so blessed to have found Kenneth. My family is going through difficult time and having them to look after Ozzzy has been a blessing. I would highly recommend Kenneth.
I went to Europe for a family trip and I was truly nervous about leaving my dog with someone for the first time ever. I found Sarah on this app for a reasonable price and all I can say is I had an amazing experience. She is true professional in what she does and made the process so easy. I would 100% recommend Sarah in a heartbeat to anyone looking to trust a “stranger” with their beloved pets.
PEACE OF MIND. I have had my shepherd for 11 years, and as he has been becoming more senior, I have found that I worry sometimes about how he will do with a sitter. Maria was ABSOLUTELY exceptional. She was very caring, very engaged and took excellent care of my dog. Even though he is senior and does need a bit more attention around his hips and medication, she did an absolutely phenomenal job. Always proactive, and responsive. Very accommodating. She is by far one of - if not the best sitter I have found for my dog. I cannot recommend her enough.
Kevin was absolutely amazing with my dog. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. Kevin made him feel comfortable, safe, and truly at home. When I came to pick him up, my dog was so happy and relaxed—it honestly felt like he didn’t even want to leave! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being cared for with so much attention and kindness. I would highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be using his services again!
Our golden retriever Sunny stayed with Sandra and her family for 3 nights over the March Break. We know Sunny had a good time because he was reluctant to leave at the end of his stay! He thrives on attention and I believe he got a lot of attention at Sandra's house. He also became friends with their dog Molly! Sandra sent us the cutest picture of our dogs together on my dog's XL dog bed. We were kept up-to-date with how Sunny settled in with their family and we received photo updates as well. The whole family really loves dogs, so I would recommend leaving your dog with Sandra and her family.
We had such a great experience! 🐾 They took amazing care of Maya and kept us completely at ease while we were away. We loved receiving daily pictures and updates—it made such a difference knowing she was happy and in good hands. Maya also had the best time playing with Arya — they got along so well and it was so nice knowing she had a little companion while we were away! You can really tell how much they care, and we’re so grateful for the attention and love they gave her. Highly recommend! 🥰

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Richmond Hill 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 Hill
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:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
