“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!”
“We had an outstanding experience using Rover, and can not say enough wonderful things about the care our dog, Miley, received from Hao! From the very beginning, Hao was professional, communicative, and incredibly kind. He made us feel completely at ease leaving Miley in his care. Throughout her boarding stay, he sent regular photos and videos, which meant so much to us. seeing Miley happy, relaxed, and having fun gave us total peace of mind. Hao’s home is perfectly set up for dogs, especially his spacious backyard, where Miley had plenty of room to run, explore, and play. It was clear she was getting not just supervision, but genuine attention, exercise, and affection. When we picked her up, she was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Hao truly went above and beyond, and it’s obvious he treats the pets he watches like family. We are so grateful for the excellent car he provided and would absolutely book with him again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: 🐾 Service available in English & Cantonese (廣東話) Hi! I’m Katrina. I live with my family and our sweet 7 year old Bichon Frise, Tofu. My family and I have spent the past seven years raising Tofu and caring for dogs belonging to our friends and family, and I’d love to welcome your dog into our home too. My mom is home full-time, so your dog will have lots of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. We live in a quiet neighbourhood with a large, fully fenced backyard, and we only host one family’s dog(s) at a time to provide a calm, personalized experience. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your dog happiest and most comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, and my mom is home full-time, so there’s almost always someone home to keep your dog company. We are also home on weekends. We’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and, most importantly, stick to the routine they’re used to. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We will ensure your dog’s regular routine is followed to make them comfortable away from home. Our home is clean, dog-friendly, and designed with your pup in mind. We have plenty of toys, cozy places to rest, and baby gates available if a dog needs their own space. We live in a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. Our home is shared with our 7-year-old Bichon Frise, Tofu, and because we don’t have young children and only host one family’s dog(s) at a time, we provide a calm, low-stress environment. You’ll also receive regular photo updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
“Galina and her husband are very sweet, polite and professional. They took so great care of my dog Cookie, that seemed very happy and comfortable with them. Galina sent me updates at least twice a day with photos of Cookie, which made me feel relaxed and 100% sure my dog was well taken care of. This was my first time leaving my dog with them, but I will certainly do it again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of boarding services. Thanks Galina!”
“Rimma is definitely the best dog sitter I ever dealt with. She is so kind and super nice. She took very good care of Charli as if her own dog. Rimma would update us with photos and messages and would reach to us to ask about Charli’s interests or allergies before she goes ahead and do something. I strongly recommend her as the best dog boarder to my friends.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We had an excellent experience with Caroline and her pup Oisin. She was very professional at the meet and greet and made us feel comfortable with her right from the start. We felt lucky to have found her to take care of Lola. Lola had a great time with Caroline. It was obvious when we picked her up that they had a strong connection. Oisin is a super sweet dog also and we could tell Lola had grown attached to him, which is always so nice to see. Caroline has a lovely welcoming home with a delightful yard. Honestly us humans would probably have had a lovely week if we got to stay there, so we loved knowing that we were leaving Lola in an exceptionally comfortable environment. And with a lovely human. Lola had some tummy troubles while we were away too and Caroline managed it very smoothly and was caring and kind to her, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely book again with Caroline and feel very happy to have found her!!!”
“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.”
“We had a great experience leaving our dog Kallie for 17 nights. From the start, they took the time to understand her routine and followed her feeding schedule and needs perfectly. It was clear Kallie was treated like part of the family and settled in quickly We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again with Joey and Dez and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“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.”
“Kenneth was incredible to deal with and very accommodating to our last minute request, due to a family emergency. Our pups were well loved and taken care of by Kenneth. He is an excellent communicator and sent plenty of pictures and video. I would not hesitate to refer Kenneth to anyone looking for someone as compassionate to trust your fur babies with. Thank you so much Kenneth!!”
“Cecilia was absolutely wonderful with Koda! Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. As an ER nurse, my schedule is very unpredictable, and I had to drop Koda off as early as 5:00 AM and pick him up as late as 10:00 PM. Cecilia was always welcoming, kind, and flexible, and she never made me feel like my unusual schedule was an inconvenience. I truly appreciate your patience, kindness, and the loving care you gave Koda. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Wishing you all the very best. Thank you again”
“Raquel & Howard are now like Tank's second home. Sure what more could he want? I have peace of mind and can enjoy a little break. Forever greatful 🙏 awesome guys! Thank you!”
“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.”
“Our Bear was well cared for by Fiona. She sent updates along with pictures. Asked questions if needed. Very responsive via the app. Was open for a pre-meet up before booking as she has a dog of her own and we wanted to ensure everyone got along well and have questions answered. Her dog Nala was super sweet and very calm. Would recommend and use Fiona’s services again in the near future. :)”
“Finding Lucy on River has been an excellent experience overall. Her communication is opportune and friendly, her place is ample and clean, and she's super friendly.. Honestly she will be my go to caretaker in the future. Thanks Lucy!”

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!"
I cannot recommend David and his wife enough! They took such wonderful care of my Charlie, and I truly felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. They sent me daily photos and updates throughout his stay, which meant so much to me and gave me complete peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the love and care they gave Charlie and would happily trust them with him again! Do not hesitate to book with this dynamic duo! 🥰
As always, I strongly recommend Hao 100%. Him and his family treat Chester like a king. Hao sends me pictures and videos often. He let's him run around in the yard, he takes him on walks, and I can tell that Chester is always happy and looking forward to go back to Hao's. I trust Hao and I absolutely appreciate him for his amazing services. He truly is the best !
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!
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!

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.
