“Chetan was wonderful with our two boys! A home away from home. So fun that the dogs got to interact with farm animals. Chetan gave us regular update and took great care of our two dogs. Thanks again!!”
About: Confident leash handler. Experienced with rescues, bully breeds, as well as reactive and senior dogs. Red Cross Pet CPR certified. I'm a big guy and LOVE big dogs (and little ones, too!) I am self employed and can be very flexible with when I'm available. I specialize in last minute bookings Let's book a meet and greet! Can't wait to meet your furry family member. I am self employed with a very flexible schedule. Last minute house sitting stays are my specialty. I typically prefer minimum 2-3 day bookings for locations that are over 50km away from me but if you're curious just shoot me a message and we can see what works. I am a confident and physically strong leash handler. Recognizing dog body language (particularly with excitable or reactive dogs) and being proactive is key (Dogs, like us, don't need to say hi to everyone that crosses their paths). Red Cross Pet CPR certified. I am happy to administer any medications they may need while you are gone.
“Great experience. Very reliable and caring — our dog was happy and well looked after. Communication was easy and we felt at ease the whole time. Would definitely book again！”
“Angela and her family took great care of Neko! It was clear they made him feel at home and I was very comfortable leaving him in her care. I definitely recommend Angela to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment to leave their fur baby!”
“A returning client, I just cant say enough great things about Britt and of course our Willow girl's new BFF, Mona. Britt is very responsive and was we were grateful for a short notice booking.”
“Maria José and Oscar did an amazing job taking care of Bailey! They kept me updated the whole time with photos and videos, and it was clear that Bailey was having a great time. I felt very comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them! ❤️”
“Janice was phenomenal with my high anxiety dog! Not only was she willing to go the extra mile to make arrangements to care formy dog last minute when my prior arrangements fell through, but she also sent me regular updates with cute captions showing me that my fur-baby was being well loved and cared for in my absence. It was so comforting and brought auch puece of mind to know that she was being cared for and loved just as much as if I were home. We're so fortunate to have her and her helpers right in our neighbourhood as my dog has seemingly adopted them into her "pack" and now gets to see them on occasion during walk. I will definitely be calling on Janice for my future boarding, dog-sitting and walking needs!”
“Matthew took amazing care of my two boys, Gus and Jaq! He sent frequent pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while they were in his care. My two frenchies clearly had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were safe and well looked after. I would absolutely recommend Matthew and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!”
“Buddy had an amazing week in Justine and Inna’s care. He received great care and his complex health needs were covered. If you are looking for a loving home for your fur baby to visit this is the one!!!! I highly recommend 😊”
“Amazing as always! Ashley is very communicative and flexible! Our dog always comes back completely exhausted and knocked out for days, which is fabulous for us because I’m sick of walking him 🫣 thanks for the break Ashley!”
“Rocky loved his time with his new fur friend Zoey! We received many pictures, videos and text message updates every day. It was so reassuring to see Rocky settling in and having fun everyday. Ishita and harshil ensured he stayed on his regular schedule, gave him his medication each morning and let him sleep in their bedroom each night, just as he does at home. We will definitely use ishita and harshil in the future.”
“Colleen was super easy and professional to communicate with. It was our pups first time with her so the environment was new. That combined with some unexpected fireworks made for some anxious babies. Colleen changed her sleeping arrangements to accommodate them and make them feel safe so everyone could sleep. I was very comfortable and happy that Murph and Eddie stayed with Colleen.”
“Very happy with Jessica's service. I had a 9 hour trip to get back home and Tyson was so calm for the ride home which tells me he was stress free. Thank you Jessica. I will definely book you again when I go back to Brantford 😊”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so being around them just feels natural to me. I have a 16-month-old Labrador who is honestly the light of my life, and caring for him has taught me so much about patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I know how important routines, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection are. When I look after someone’s dog, I treat them like they’re my own — with genuine care, attention, and plenty of cuddles. I work from home and am always available to take great care of the dogs and will treat them like they're my own with genuine care. There’s always plenty of supervised playtime, attention, and affection, and I never leave dogs unattended for long periods. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and I’m happy to provide regular updates for peace of mind.
About: I’ve lived with pets my entire life, and have seen all kinds of personalities and needs. I’m always attentive of individual pet needs and treat them like my own. I work full time 8-4 and currently often go away on weekends from Friday-Sunday. Otherwise I’m home the whole time after work to give lots of attention. I can also go home during lunch if ever needed. I’ve recently moved into a new home and have an empty basement at the moment which won’t be furnished for a few more months. Your cat can have their own very large space there with a bedroom included for them. Dogs can enjoy the whole house with me if they are friendly with my cat, and enjoy plenty of space in my large fenced backyard.
“Thank you so much Stacey for taking care of Luna while we were out of the country. Luna was so well taken care of and we will definitely be booking with Stacey in the future. She is so wonderful for sending us updates, pictures, keeping us in the loop and we felt so at ease leaving Luna to board with Stacey while we were gone. Luna was a sad pup when she got home after spending so much time with such a wonderful new human who loved her like she was her own 😃💗”
“Caitlin was an excellent sitter with Gunner. When we arrived she welcomed him with open arms. Caitlin followed instructions as she worked with the same training company as we are. Pictures were sent every day so we knew what was happening with Gunner. I told Caitlin that I would use her again and I would highly recommend her to everyone. Elaine Paulin”

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 Sandy Cove 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 Sandy Cove
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.
