“Selina and Pascal are nothing short of amazing. This has been the 3rd time booking with them and I will only choose them. I trust them wholeheartedly with the dogs and vice versa. Bandit is anxious being left with strangers and he felt comfortable for the 12+ days with no anxiety signs whatsoever. He felt right at home and didn’t even want to leave. Seems like both dogs are showing signs of missing their 2nd family since being back home! Lol Selina and Pascal created a safe space for them, took them on multiple walks, took them in as their own. Absolutely exceptional sitters!! They kept sending us updates and pictures while we were away and made sure the dogs were ok. The dogs were in very good hands! We were unfortunately unable to come back in time for pick up due to unforeseen circumstances and Selina/Pascal worked with us right away to find a solution. Like I said, amazing people and dog sitters. Book with them, your dogs and mind will be at ease!!”
“Here's a polished version of your review: My experience with Britanie was excellent. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and messages. I really appreciated her communication and attention to detail. She was also very flexible with both pick-up and drop-off times, which made everything convenient and stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Hannah took such great care of our pup. We recieved many many happy puppy photos during our week's vacation. And she even sent our girl home with a toy that she had taken a shine to and an extra special treat. A true dog lover who will spoil your dog with exercise and snuggles. Thanks Hannah!”
“First time leaving Ruby alone without a family member watching her and Valerie was amazing with her. Picked her up with no issues must of had a great time as she is fast asleep beside me now 😄”
“Krista and Marc were amazing with our dog, made me feel very comfortable to leave my fur baby with them from the first moment I met them. She took such great care of Charlie and gave him lots of love, walks, treats, made him feel safe when he was worried, and sent me updates and pictures throughout his stay. 100% recommend!”
“We left our dog with Kathrine and family for two weeks and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Our pup was clearly well-looked-after, and we loved receiving regular photo updates. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Coralie and Kevin took marvellous care of our huskies!! It was such a relief being able to leave town while knowing our dogs were in such a great environment. First of all, their home is lovely and has a perfect yard where dogs can burn their energy. Second, they are so kind, welcoming and have a very gentle dog who got along great with my busy huskies. I was nervous leaving my dogs in a new place; however, they provided updates and kept an open line of communication with very prompt replies; which really brought peace of mind while being away. I would highly recommend booking with them. It was our first time, and certainly not our last! :)”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Stephanie was incredibly understanding of our dog’s nervous nature and took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe. It was clear he was well cared for and truly felt at home. We felt completely at ease leaving him in her care, which means everything to us. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and will absolutely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Wow is all I can say!! Jason and his family are incredible people!! I fell sick and ended up hospitalized while Mavis was with Jason. Without hesitation he agreed to keep Mavis and kept her for several extra days. They also took amazing care of our girl. They were an absolute life saver!!”
“We had to be away from our Molly, a 2 year old Goldendoodle, for a week and a half while my wife and I went overseas for a trip. We were nervous about leaving Molly as she'd never spent a night away from us, but Danielle made everything so comfortable! She always ensured Molly had multiple walks every day, and gave her the attention she needed. Danielle made her home a happy place for Molly to stay, so much so that Molly was comfortable enough to sleep on their bed! We had a great experience and would absolutely recommend Danielle! Chris”
“Mahnaz was a fantastic cat sitter! She sent regular updates while we were away and always responded quickly to messages. It was obvious how much she cared for our cat. He clearly loved her, which put our minds at ease. She was also very accommodating with our schedule and requests. We'd happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Colt had such a great stay with Emily and Alison! They took great care of him, including administering his daily medication. The communication was great, and we loved the pictures. We would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a great dog sitter for peace of mind while away!”
“April watched my 1.5 year-old corgi, Norman, for the second time this past weekend. At the last minute, I had to extend his stay an extra night and she was very understanding and accommodating in making alternative arrangements for pick-up. Both times that I've picked Norman up, he's been a happy, tired boy! As soon as I drop him off, he runs right into the house without hesitation and I don't doubt he makes himself right at home, which is comforting while I'm away. I'll gladly rebook with April again :)”
“Another fun stay for our pup Toffee at Soha’s. She’s made a new best friend in Bully and loves going there. We can’t recommend Soha enough and will definitely be a returning customer.”
“Judy is a wonderful dogsitter. Our pup was delighted to spend time with her. You know when there is a connection and genuine love for dogs - Judy is that person. So grateful that we can have a peace of mind when we have to leave our puppy for a few days with Judy.”
“Lisa and Jason were absolutely wonderful with Storm! They went above and beyond to make our little guy feel comfortable while we were away. And the pictures we received were so cute!!!! Thank you!”

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 Russell 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 Russell
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.
