“We had an amazing experience with Hao and his family. They took such good care of Winter when we were away for 3 weeks. I received many wonderful pictures of Winter happy and well looked after it really made me feel great knowing she was happy and healthy. I will definitely be using his services again.”
“We left our dog Cheeto with Yanfei for almost 2 weeks while we went on vacation and he had the best time with Kyle! As always, Yanfei was responsive, sent frequent updates (both photo and video) and took care of Cheeto as if he was her own. We are SO appreciative and thankful we found someone so kind and caring! Cheeto is excited for his next play date!”
“Mingqi and Bingkai were truly wonderful with Hooka. From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in loving, capable hands. They cared for her exactly the way I do at home; honestly, even better! They took her on regular trips to the dog park, played endless fetch, and sent multiple video updates every day. Seeing how relaxed and happy she was in every clip gave me complete peace of mind. While they may be newer to Rover, their thoughtfulness and experience shine through in every detail. Their dog, ZeZe, was also incredibly sweet and welcomed Hooka like family; the two of them became fast friends, playing and sleeping together all day. I trust Mingqi and Bingkai completely and will definitely book with them again. They are truly the best sitters you can find.”
“Galina, you are amazing! Our dog Maya was in great spirits all week, and we are so happy to have found you. Of course, Galina was always in touch with us, providing photo and video updates, which we truly appreciated. It felt like Maya had her very own vacation, where she received so much care and attention every single day. Thank you for your kindness and incredible support!”
“Amazing experience! She is so kind and always answering! I can tell that my dog was very well taken care of, and very happy!! I’ll book with here again for sure ❤️”
“Laura took care of my dog for few weeks this summer while we were away on vacation. She kept us updated constantly and provided lots of pictures. She even gave our dog a nice bath before we picked him up! Laura and her family genuinely care a lot for pets and are such warm and kindhearted people. I highly recommend her - you will be stress free!”
“Grace watched my dog Molly for a couple nights. She sent pictures and daily reports. I'm so glad to have found Grace. She was very flexible and easy going. Would definitely recommend her!”
“We were very happy with Dommond and his wife looking after our beagle. They met us before and sent us lots of pictures and updates on the day. They asked questions when needed and our dog came home very happy. We will certainly use them again and recommend them.”
“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!”
“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 had a great experience with Jun. He was very nice, helpful, and made sure our pet felt comfortable the entire time. We received updates and pictures every day, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the communication and care. Highly recommend Jun’s services!”
“Zak and his wife looked after our dog whilst we were away on vacation. My dog had a wonderful time, got lots of attention and was clearly very happy with them. Zak was amazing with communication and photos and completely flexible when our flight home was delayed. Highly recommend for your pet care needs!”
“Jacky & Yunn were highly recommended to us by my sister, and they absolutely lived up to the praise! They took fantastic care of my pup, Ebi, for the weekend. Since this was Ebi’s first boarding experience and she’s an anxious dog, I was nervous about how she would do, but she looked so comfortable and settled with them! Jacky & Yunn kept us updated with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Their care and attentiveness made the entire experience stress-free. Thank you for making Ebi’s first boarding experience such a success!”

Punita was wonderful with Yuki! We had a meet & greet before his stay, and she took the time to ask all the right questions about his routine, habits, and needs, which made me feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. Yuki stayed with Punita at her home while I was abroad and seemed to feel right at home from the very beginning. It was such a relief knowing he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. Punita did a great job, and Yuki clearly enjoyed his time with her. Highly recommended!
Our dog has a nice stay at Ella’s place. She is very easy to work with and quick in responding messages. We were able to set up a short introductory session to get to know her and introduce my dog Boots. During the stay, she also provided updates with photos to reassure us. Highly recommended!
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!
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!
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.

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:
- 81% 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.
