“Leaving Coco behind while traveling is never easy, but from the very first day, this family gave us complete peace of mind — and far more than we expected. They didn’t just watch Coco; they truly welcomed him as part of their own family. Every single day, they thoughtfully sent us videos and photos, showing Coco relaxed, happy, playful, and clearly deeply loved. Seeing him so comfortable and content made it obvious that he wasn’t just being cared for — he was genuinely at home. What touched us most was knowing that Coco was not counting the days until we returned — he was truly enjoying himself. That says everything. We are incredibly grateful for their kindness, responsibility, and the love they gave Coco. This is not just dog care; this is family-level care. We would trust them again without a second thought and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone who wants their dog to be treated as their own. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for loving Coco so well. 🐾❤️”
“Rie is awesome. She is really kind and responsive. Thank you Rie for taking such good care of my furry baby! Wishing you a great summer!! My puppy will be sure to want to come back!”
“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.”
“Lisa and Ben were friendly and very easy to communicate with, responding to all messages quickly. They followed all of Cali’s needs and took great care of her. I also appreciated the daily photo updates! We will most definitely book with them again when we travel next :)”
“Mabel was amazing with our dog Lucky !!! She took great care of him and even throw a party on his birthday. I highly recommend her !! Thank you, Mabel. Really appreciate your help.”
“Leizl and Mhae did a wonderful job taking care of our yorkie Nico. Nico and Loki had some playful fun while we were away. We appreciate all the daily pics, videos and message updates. Nico got lots of exercise, walks, and play time and both Leizl and Mhae were very accommodating to Nico’s needs. Definitely recommend their care and we will definitely book for future. Thank you again.”
“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!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Eddie! He was incredibly caring, reliable, and attentive to every detail. We received regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Our pet Luna was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. We would absolutely recommend his services and will definitely book again in the future!”
“Our 8-year old female cockapoo had a wonderful time with Zsuzsanna. Our little girl is normally a bit anxious with strangers, but she was right at home with Zsuzsanna and her family. The home cooked chicken and rice meals were a definite bonus.”
“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.”
“Se had an amazing experience with Zac! Our little Luna, a miniature pinscher, was so well taken care of. He was incredibly attentive and loving with her, making sure she felt right at home. We especially appreciated the photo he gave us at the end as a lovely memory of her stay. Communication was excellent; he responded very quickly and even went out of his way to pick up Luna in the early hours of the morning. Everything was perfect – 10/10! Highly recommended!”
“Groot again had a great time at Ilana and Lambro’s. He feels like at home from the picture updates. We appreciate you guys trying your best to accommodate our schedule even we had to update our drop off pick up time last minute. Again, strongly recommend Ilana and Lam for anyone who needs help with dog sitting!”
“Mocca had a wonderful time with Qian and Bethany. They were extremely caring, attentive to details, and quickly understood Mocca's personality. They introduced him to the new environment gradually, which he appreciated. We have rebooked with them again and will definitely come back. Thank you!”

Grace took care of our dog Milo while we were on a 3-day trip and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. It was Milo’s first time with a sitter and we were unsure about how he might react being away from us. Thankfully, he had a great time with Grace and adjusted right away. She provided us with regular updates, pictures and videos, and even provided a typed out review of Milo’s entire routine (meals, walks, toilet times, etc.) at the end of each day. Communication with her was clear and concise, and she answered any questions I sent prompty, before and during Milo’s stay. I would definitely recommend Grace and book her again in the future.
Raquel and Howard are simply the best pet sitters. As always, they took wonderful care of my dog, and she was completely enchanted with them. She is always so happy, comfortable, and relaxed in their care, which gives me complete peace of mind. They are attentive, caring, reliable, and clearly treat her as if she were their own. I would recommend them without hesitation!!!
We are so delighted that Roo could stay with Ellie, her husband and dog Aki. Ellie shared plenty of updates and photos and was always super responsive. Roo was incredibly well taken care of, and we would recommend Ellie to anyone looking for an attentive and caring stay!
Left Kuma here for the first time with Lucy, had him there for a couple nights. Lucy and her husband were great hosts! They really took care of him, provided frequent, detailed updates, and have a great environment. Kuma was able to make other dog friends and get tons of attention for his energetic needs. Would highly recommend!
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!

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.
