“Lovepreet was a wonderful host for Ozzy. She took good care of Ozzy. She connected with us throughout Ozzy’s stay by sending us the pictures and updates. Highly recommending her.”
“I reached out to them on short notice, requesting their services for the same day, and they promptly accepted. Throughout my 9-day vacation, they provided exceptional care for my dog. Their spacious house and expansive backyard were ideal for my pet, and it was evident that they are true dog lovers. I am extremely satisfied with their services, and without a doubt, they will be my first choice for future dog-sitting needs. Thank you for taking such great care of my furry friend.”
“Sugar had a great time with Richard and Melissa. She was a little nervous at first, but they gave her lots of TLC and she was soon feeling right at home. I received regular updates and some great photos. They were very patient and understanding and even invited Sugar to come back again. Thanks so much!”
“Stacey was wonderful. She was able to accommodate us on short notice. This was most appreciated. Her spot was well equipped with a very clean kennel space and a 2 acre fenced yard for the dogs to run. She gave us updates with great photos and videos in the morning and evening while we were away. Overall she was very good with our girls and they didn’t want to leave when we came to pick them up. I will definitely use Stacey again when we need a place for our girls to stay while we are away.”
“I was a little nervous leaving Morgan with someone she didn’t know, but Joshua quickly put me at ease. The daily updates and pictures were so reassuring and made it easy to see that she was happy and well cared for. It’s clear that Joshua genuinely cares about dogs and takes the time to make them feel comfortable and loved. I really appreciated the communication and care he provided. I would definitely recommend Joshua and would happily have him look after Morgan again!”
“Excellent couple. Great space for dog sitting. Nicole and Brock are confident and familiar with dogs. Lots of pics and updates of my dog settling in and getting comfortable in their home. I would book again with them.”
“I wish I could keep Colleen a secret so that her schedule is always clear for whenever Truffle Bear needs a sitter. Truffle is 10 years old, and we had just made a 1,600 km move when he needed a sitter. I'm always nervous when I have to leave him, but Colleen's photos and updates reassured me and kept me relaxed. Truffle probably had more of a vacation than I did! Colleen went above and beyond with keeping Truffle entertained and happy, even purchasing a bag of dog treats for him that fit his very particular dietary restrictions. I will absolutely be booking with Colleen whenever I'm out of town, and I'm sure Truffle will be excited to go back. She and her family are a gem.”
“Absolutely fantastical! I was in an emergency and autumn stepped up and helped me out. Absolute life saver. Sent me pics and videos of my lughead which she affectionately named meatball. He's definitely a meathead. Extended the duration when I wasnt sure what was happening with work. Without her I would have been S.O.L!!”
“Pamela took excellent care of Pippa. She sent me a video or two everyday and I could see Pippa was playing and being well cared for. I would definitely rebook with Pamela.”
“It was just a great decision leaving our baby Milo with Jeorge and Angelica. They are nice and dog loving people that really took the time to care for our boy. They made sure to update us with him, sent us pictures, asked us questions about him to be able to care for him the best they can. Milo came back to us with such a kind and calm demeanour. Recommend these couple to everyone. Thank you again and Milo misses you guys! 🐶❤️”
“Marcus and Meghan took the best care of our dog when we had to leave him with for 4 days. They provided us constant updates and made sure our dog had the best stay. They took out time to introduce fun little activities for him, took him for long fun walks and overall just took great care of him. We would recommend them to everyone for their pets going forward and will be seeking for their help in future. Thanks Marcus and Meghan for your help.”
“Elizabeth was amazing with my dog. She sent regular pictures and updates on how she was doing. She extended hazels stay every time I asked her and she even went out and bought her food. Amazing lady. Definitely recommend”
“Amazing, as always. 10/10, Simone & Adam are some of the best humans I’ve had the privilege of meeting in my life. So having them care for my pup for extended periods of time is truly a blessing. I’m very thankful for them.”
“Leaving your dog with someone can be nerve-wracking, but after Kendall and her family watched Stanley, every bit of anxiety I had completely disappeared. I felt so blessed knowing Stanley was in such a beautiful, loving home where he was truly treated like part of their own family. Kendall is incredible with young pups and all types of dogs, making sure every pet feels completely comfortable and cherished. They went so far above and beyond—taking Stanley to the lake, introducing him to her extended family, and letting him play to his heart's content with the other dogs. Stanley was in absolute heaven! The moment I knew just how much love he felt was when Kendall shared that Stanley slept right on her pillow, exactly like he does with me at home. On top of all that, Kendall kept me connected with daily texts, photos, and video updates; my heart was filled with so much love and gratitude every time a message popped up. Kendall and her family are remarkable, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for extraordinary care for their dog.”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with Gypsy! Gypsy is a nervous dog who takes time to warm up to new people, and Jessica was incredibly patient and understanding with her. She gave Gypsy the time and space she needed to settle in, and it was lovely to see how quickly Gypsy started feeling comfortable with her. Jessica kept me updated throughout the stay with regular messages, updates and the most wonderful photos. It meant so much to see Gypsy being included in family life, going for walks, enjoying the park and getting all the cuddles and attention she deserved. I was nervous about leaving Gypsy, especially on such short notice, but Jessica made the whole experience so much easier. She was kind, accommodating and clearly genuinely cares about the animals in her care. I would happily book with Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, patient and trustworthy sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl! ❤️”
“Lise was amazing!! Pippin was such a happy a tired pup after staying there for a few days. Even though it was extremely hot, she was able to get him out for shorter walks during the cooler parts of the day. He was absolutely spoiled and loved it! She was so great at giving updates on how he was doing. Just an absolute treat!”
“Ollie was so excited to see Mary Anne when we dropped him off! Mary Anne daily messages and photos showed how happy was Ollie with her. For us, leaving Ollie with Mary Anne allowed us to enjoy our time away from home knowing he was very well taken care of.”
“We absolutely love Aunty Cathy! She is incredibly accommodating, and we trust her completely—1000%—with our old man, Odie. We wouldn’t just leave our dog with anyone. You can count on Aunty Cathy to care for your pooch as if they were her own”
“Very satisfied. Feels like Pedals didn’t miss us, he actually gained a second family! Thank you Maya for taking really good care of Pedals. We look forward to booking with you again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their River’s Edge 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 River’s Edge
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
