“Thank you for watching Pete! Pete spent a week with Shannon while I was away. Shannon kept me updated daily, sent pictures, followed all instructions, and provided Pete with so much love. Her home is tidy and neat - a safe place for all pets. I will definitely book with Shannon again! Thank you for a seamless experience :)”
“Paige is so reliable and kind hearted. I can’t thank her enough for helping us out and going the extra mile to make things convenient for us when we needed it. Our pup pup feels so comfortable with her and we highly recommend her if you’re on the hunt for a great sitter!!”
“Shelley recently took care of our dog for the first time for a weekend. Without being asked, she regularly provided us with text updates & photos. Knowing our dog was managing fine in Shelley's care & seeing photos of him interacting with other dogs also in her care put our mind at ease as we were a bit nervous leaving our fur baby. This allowed us to focus on co-hosting our daughter's wedding without worrying throughout the weekend. Shelley's well qualified to care for animals & I would highly recommend her to anyone. My husband & I plan to use her services again & are happy to recommend her to others. Shelley's definitely a keeper!”
About: Retired from a long career in child care I am ready to open my home to your fur baby. As my own little guy passed recently I look forward to cuddles, walks and play time. I offer a fully fenced yard and as my husband Robin (retired teacher) is also available we offer round the clock attention. Retirement allows me total flexibility to care for pets. My husband and I enjoy walks in our very quiet friendly neighborhood. We would prioritize time spent with your doggy and follow any instructions you may have. We have a comfortable home, fenced yard and if you permit we allow pets on furniture and the bed. Non smoking home. Reliable, responsible loving care with lots of updates for you.
“I can’t thank Sreekumar and his wife enough for the incredible care they provided for my dog, Ace, during his boarding stay. They treated him like their own child, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I truly appreciated the regular updates, pictures, and videos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was evident that Ace was having a great time and was in loving hands. Without a doubt, Ace will be staying with them again whenever I need boarding. Highly recommend their services to any pet parent looking for a safe and caring environment!”
“My pug had her first stay with Lindsay recently. Lindsay is very kind, organized and reliable. I felt very confident leaving my girl with her for nine days. You won't be disappointed with Lindsay caring for your fur baby.”
“I had a great experience! She took wonderful care of my dog, Aquene, over the weekend. Aquene had an amazing time playing with her two dogs and going out on trail walks during her stay. She kept me updated, and I felt comfortable knowing aquene was in such good hands. I would definitely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Samantha was really accommodating host and she and family took care of Cosmo well. Cosmo had absolutely bonded great with kids and pets including Lillie and had an excellent time.”
“Deepti & Sachin treated our puppy dog like a member of their own family. We couldn’t have asked for more! They are super caring responsible, fun dog people! Thank you! Jackie”
“Erin and Chad took such great care of my puppy. Super kind, responsive, and flexible, and I really appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay. I’ll definitely have them look after my pup again. Highly recommend - thank you both!”
“We had an incredible experience with Sahar. We often take our dogs with us because it can be difficult to find good care for them. Sahar went above and beyond in the care of our dogs for the weekend. Highly recommend Sahar, she was just fantastic to deal with and our dogs were given lots of love and exceptional care. Highly recommend!”
“Leaving our 6½-year-old, spoiled, and very needy dachshund with strangers for the first time was pretty scary. But Mana and Ahmed quickly proved to be the best kind of strangers. They were truly the perfect substitute parents, treating Luna as if she were their own dog and providing her with a warm, loving, and attentive home. Through daily photos and messages, we always knew Luna was safe, comfortable, happy, and extremely well cared for. Their kindness and dedication gave us peace of mind; it permitted us to enjoy a completely guilt-free vacation. We are incredibly grateful to Mana and Ahmed for opening their home and heart to our dog and feel very lucky to have met them!”
“Cari and her family took great care of Willow for her first weekend stay! Cari kept us up to date on Willow's adventures and sent us pictures and updates on how she was as a guest. Willow got lots of walks in the park, snuggles and kept everyone laughing with her zoomies in the yard. We are very happy with Cari's care and will for sure have Willow stay another time. Thank You!”
“I just want to say a big thank you to Mariella and her family. She had our little girl for 2 weeks, and I know that our girl had a fantastic time and was well taken care of and loved. If I could give a ten star review I would. I will definitely be booking again.So that charlotte can have the same experience. On our next trip.”
“This is my 2nd time booking with Carmen. My dog remembered her right away and seemed to ease right back in. She sends such lovely updates and great pics. My partner and I got to enjoy our vacation completely stress free🤩.”
“Gail is amazing! My 2.5-year-old husky came back happy, well cared for, and completely tired out after his stay. It was clear that her entire family helped take care of him, not just Gail, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him there. She provided regular photo updates and communicated very well throughout the stay. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Catharine made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup in her care. She gave Lots of daily updates and pictures/videos and allowed my family to be away and enjoy without stress. She will definitely be our go to dog sitter”

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 Rockwood 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 Rockwood
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.
