“Our dog Flash loves spending time with Hao and his family. They treat him like he’s part of their family. Hao sends plenty of pictures and videos to keep us updated. I also really appreciate that after spending extended boarding days, Flash doesn’t return home with bad behavior habits. Thanks Hao for taking care of our pup!”
“Rie was really very accommodating and Benji was happy. She really took good care of his needs. Benji needs people around him and he’s a Velcro dog. Rie realized this and gave him good company. I would definitely use her service again :)”
“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.”
“Wonderful sitters! I highly recommend. They managed my dog's shy temperament with such grace. They are extremely communicative during booking and my dog's stay. Teddy was so happy in every photo and took the longest nap on the ride home which tells me he had a great time ! I would definitely rebook! ❤️”
“Lucy and Joe were very attentive and followed our routine for Hallie. They shared regular updates during her stay and gave great honest feedback when we picked her up. Hallie also very much enjoyed her stay with them and this makes us so comfortable to use them again in the future! Grateful Rover enabled us to make this connection!”
“I was concerned with leaving Mocha in a new place, but Lisa and Ben were wonderful. They sent pictures and updates which eased my mind, and took great care of her. Thank you!”
“Yvonne was a wonderful cat sitter. The room was set up, private and very clean. She sent pics every day and let me know how well they were eating. We definitely recommend and have rebooked already.”
“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!!”
“Li was an amazing dog sitter for our Teddy! She always responded very quickly to messages and communicated very clearly. She took care of our dog so well bringing him out on multiple walks and activities daily and updated frequently with pictures. Her house is very clean and dog friendly. I could tell she cared for him like he was her own dog. Definitely recommend using her! We will be using her again if we go on another trip.”
“Lambros & Illana took care of our corgi puppy Brie over the weekend so we could attend a family wedding. We let them know that she was a “typical puppy” and they had no problem with that at all. He took her out for a walk right away. We got tons of updates, she seemed super happy when we picked her up. We had zero concerns; would definitely use again!”
“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.”
“Eddie was very professional. You can tell he has a love for dogs. Nikki seemed to have a good time. Eddie sent multiple videos and pictures during my time away from her. I will be using Eddie again in the future.”
“Thanks for taking my pup at the very last minute (within the hour!) and over a holiday. We were traveling, staying in a nearby hotel and needed a short term pet sitter to attend the nutcracker ballet. Loved the photos and video thank you again”

“Huge shoutout to the amazing people who took care of Luna while I was away for two weeks. They treated her like their own and kept her happy safe and well exercised the entire time. Communication was easy and reassuring and I had real peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. I came back to a calm healthy and happy pup and I would absolutely trust them again and recommend them to anyone looking for genuinely caring pet sitters.”
“My Benji loves to stay there. He got to play with other dogs and plenty of walks. Excellent experience and I recommend Nooshin for anyone looking for boarding or daycare.”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took such great care of Louis and Blanco, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my boys were in loving hands. She kept me updated, was attentive to their needs, and treated them like her own. They came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my babies! ❤️🐾”
“My frenchie stayed with Erica for 7 days and I'm so happy I chose Erica to dog sit him. She sent beautiful photos and video of him every night to keep me posted. My frenchie has health issues and she took all the instructions I provided. On the weekend, she even took him out on a nice outing for him to explore. I know my dog is a handful but he was in good hands and I will definitely have him stay with Erica again next time I need to go away. 100% trustworthy. Thanks Erica for taking such a good care of my baby! ?”

Lucy was absolutely wonderful with my dog! 🐾❤️ She took such great care of him overnight and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay and even sent me videos, which I really appreciated. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Lucy and will absolutely be booking with her again! Thank you so much, Lucy! 🐶💕
Zsuzsanna was so accommodating and caring towards Churro. She was flexible with having a meet and greet in advance and super responsive to messages. She was proactive with sharing photos of Churro each day so that I could see he was in good hands and adapting well. I would leave Churro with her again!
Ken is very nice and patient with Taco, and I can definitely tell that he is a true dog lover. Taco had a great time with him. Ken took Taco to parks and trails, and Taco was very happy spending time with him. I would definitely book with Ken again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter.
Ellie was amazing with Twix! She took such great care of him and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Twix was in good hands. Ellie is reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her take care of Twix again!
With such an athletic, intense, dog with some reactivity issues,It had been years since I had made any sort of plans that had us away for more than a few hours at a time. Maria has done such a fantastic job at easing my partner, and my dogs, separation anxiety. With great communication and lots of great pictures, Maria and her family clearly treated our puppy like their own. When it came to picking up our puppy it was wonderful to have a chat with people that loved our dog enough to pick up on her fun quirks. Freya seemed happy to stay and while we chatted kept walking back in to see them instead of trying to get back to the car and go home. I couldn’t be happier with our choice of sitter!
David and his wife always did a good job. Our X times returned to David. Noodle stayed there for 7 nights while we went on vacation. Constant photos keep us in the loop daily. Noodle has been with them since 3 months and always our top #1 care giver to choose Very patience and kind. Highly recommended.
This was our second time using Ghazaleh for a full week of house boarding, and we couldn't be happier! It gives us total peace of mind knowing our pup is staying in a safe, loving home while we're away. The regular updates and photos were fantastic as always, and our dog came home happy and well-cared for. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable long-term care!"
We couldn’t be happier with the care Nala received. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Punita and her family genuinely loved animals. Throughout our trip, Punita kept us updated with regular messages and treated Nala as if she were part of the family. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog, which gave us complete peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful for the excellent care Nala received and would highly recommend Punita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
I can’t recommend Hau Yee (Ella) enough!! It was my first time leaving my senior (medically compromised) dog with a dog sitter, so naturally I was very anxious. Ella made the entire process so easy, asking important questions about Mio’s routine & medication schedule. She made me feel so comfortable the entire weekend, updating me constantly with texts and photos during Mio’s stay. Thankyou so much Ella (&thankyou to your boyfriend) for taking such good care of both Mio & I during this process. When I picked Mio up, he looked so happy and relaxed! I will be booking again in the future!
Wonderful sitters! I highly recommend. They managed my dog's shy temperament with such grace. They are extremely communicative during booking and my dog's stay. Teddy was so happy in every photo and took the longest nap on the ride home which tells me he had a great time ! I would definitely rebook! ❤️
I rarely leave reviews but I strongly feel I should leave a review this time ! This sitter was sooooooo nice, responsible and friendly ! My dog is huge ( 200lbs) and he is anxious when caregivers are not around . He is not very easy . But this dog sitter is so patient and caring !! She spent so much time accompanying my dog and even slept with him in the same room . My dog and our whole family loved this sitter ! We will definitely leave the dog with her again next time when we are out of town ! Highly recommended! Best sitter ever in my experience !
Charlie Brown is almost always cared for by family, so leaving him with someone new was a big step for us\. We had no choice this time, and we’re so grateful we found them\. From the moment we met them, they made Charlie feel comfortable and at ease. It was clear they genuinely love dogs, and that gave us so much peace of mind. Charlie isn’t usually comfortable staying with strangers, but he settled in so well, which says a lot about the care and kindness they showed him. They were also excellent at communicating. We received regular updates and photos, and they kept us informed about how Charlie was doing throughout his stay. Their flexibility was another huge plus—they were incredibly understanding as we had to change our pickup time a few times. We truly appreciate their kindness, patience, and professionalism. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for caring and trustworthy dog sitters, and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave Charlie Brown with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our boy!

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
- 87% 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.
