“I couldn’t be happier I boarded my pup with Mariah for his first overnight stay. She and her partner clearly love dogs and have the knowledge and experience to care for all sorts of dogs. My Basil had a great time with them, and they were also very conscious of helping keep him to a routine — which was really helpful for a young puppy. I highly recommend them.”
“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!”
“Hope is amazing! She kept us posted about how our little one was. It was our first time ever leaving her with a sitter and our anxiety was through the roof. Our little girl had a great time! Hope, thank you so much ❤️”
“Caroline is the best. She loves my dog, who loves her and her dog too. Simber races to greet her, and runs into her house when we arrive. It's so reassuring to know that my dog is having a wonderful time, when I am gone.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Diana and her family! They took amazing care of my dog, Rio, while I was away. Diana kept me updated regularly with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing Rio was happy and well cared for. It was clear that he was treated like part of their family, and I truly appreciate the love and attention he received. I highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter—I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Patricia took great care of my dogs and was especially wonderful with Lola during her first heat. She let us know right away, kept us updated, and handled everything well despite the bleeding. We really appreciated how caring and responsible she was—would definitely book with her again! 🐶”
“Zeus had another wonderful stay with Mark and Lorena for a week! They treat him like royalty, bringing him to the dog park and giving him a bath (which, by the way rarely happens at home-lol). He always makes new friends with the other pups staying there and I always get such adorable pupdates!! Zeus always makes himself at home within two minutes of being there and Mark and Lorena really treat him like family! We’re boarding him again in August and I have no hesitation recommending them to family and friends!”
“Maria Angela took care of our 2.5 year old retriever for an entire week and we could not be happier with Maria Angela’s responsiveness, updates and overall care for our dog. We highly recommend her services !”
“Cici made sure Louie was comfortable and attentive to him as he settled in a new environment away from us. She provided us with photo updates during his stay that left us reassured that Louie was in good hands. Thank you Cici for taking care of Louie and treating him like your own!”
“Janet was wonderful with our dog, Penny. We had complete peace of mind leaving Penny in Janet's care, knowing that she invested time in getting to know Penny's unique habits and daily routine. Janet's home was not only warm and welcoming but also incredibly dog-friendly with a great back yard for playtime. Throughout Penny's stay, we received daily updates complete with photos, which we truly appreciated. Even though Penny is typically shy and reserved, she felt right at home and settled in easily. We are grateful to Janet for taking such wonderful care of Penny and providing us with such a worry-free experience. Thank you, Janet, for your exceptional care and hospitality!”
“I cannot recommend Lushi highly enough! Her commitment is unmatched, she didn't just "watch" my dog; she showered him with genuine affection, kept him active, and followed every single instruction to a tee. I received regular updates, adorable photos, and I could tell from his happy face that he was having the time of his life. It’s such a relief to travel knowing my dog is in such capable and loving hands. If you’re looking for a sitter who is professional, communicative, and truly passionate about animals, look no further. Lushi is a total gem!”
“Liz provided excellent care for our puppy. Consistent with the other reviews she provided daily updates along with photos which was greatly appreciated. Won’t hesitate to book with Liz again. 5 stars!”
“Thank you Beatriz and Cecilia for taking such wonderful care of our Wilbur for the week! We loved receiving updates, photos and videos every day while traveling, knowing you were enjoying his company, and that he was in good hands.”
“Se In really loves dogs. She plays with them, takes them out often, cuddle with them. My Luna looked so happy on the daily pictures and videos Se In sent me and I was so happy to have found her in my neighborhood. Thanks so much Se In for being so sweet and caring with Luna.”
“Jacky & Yunn were highly recommended to us by my sister, and they absolutely lived up to the praise! They took fantastic care of my pup, Ebi, for the weekend. Since this was Ebi’s first boarding experience and she’s an anxious dog, I was nervous about how she would do, but she looked so comfortable and settled with them! Jacky & Yunn kept us updated with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Their care and attentiveness made the entire experience stress-free. Thank you for making Ebi’s first boarding experience such a success!”
“Absolute dream team. This is the third time Mojo has stayed and he was so excited! Lots of updates and great pictures along the way. Can’t recommend enough! We’re always able to relax and enjoy ourselves while travelling knowing our pup is in good hands.”
“Janis is amazing. We are so glad we found her. Our dog loves her and looks forward to her visits. Janis is kind, caring, has excellent communication, walks our dog more than we do and provides so much love, cuddles and playtime, etc.”
“Isabella and her family were so great with Noah. Constantly keeping me updated with photos and letting me know that he’s cared for every moment while he’s with them. Going for walks, going on adventures, cuddles and more play time. I’m so happy with my experience with Isabella and would recommend her to everyone!!”

Sreesai was an amazing dog sitter for our 4 miniature Dachshunds. The enclosed back yard and multiple walks every day had them in great shape after 2 weeks. Also, my wife and I have a complicated feeding routine with different weights of wet food for each dog depending on size and activity level. We were sent photos morning, noon and night indoors and out. We won't hesitate to book Sree and her partner again for both long and short stays. Thank you guys so much!
Kenneth and Lena were fantastic sitters for Paris and Frida! They took great care of them, kept us updated with photos and messages, and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. It was clear that Paris and Frida received lots of attention and affection. They both came home relaxed and content pets, which gave us great peace of mind. We would gladly trust Kenneth and Lena again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet sitters.
This is the very first time I left Milo for over a week with someone outside my family. Nikita and her husband made Milo feel at ease with their place. Nikita provided daily updates and pictures of Milo. I was so happy to see that Milo settled and comfortable with them. I would recommend Nikita to my friends and family. Thank you for taking excellent care of my fur baby - Milo
Diana and Kristoffer boarded Charlie for a few days . Diana sent many pics during her stay , we all laughed that Charlie was getting a photo shoot , the photos also being esthetically pleasing !! Charlie seemed very comfortable and got lots of attention with the kids aswell . She came home happy and healthy ! We will definitely rebook with Diana and Kristoffer . Thank you for taking such great care of her .
Luqi was absolutely amazing with my dog while I was away for two weeks. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and kept me updated throughout the entire day with photos and messages. She made sure I knew how he was doing, including updates on his eating habits, food bowl, and overall well-being. I felt completely comfortable and had no worries while I was away because I knew he was in great hands. It was such a relief knowing someone was taking care of him with so much love and attention. I highly recommend Luqi to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him!
Amazing! They took such great care of my puppy overnight and kept me updated the whole time. Both of them are super kind, caring and overall just great people. Their communication made me feel reassured and relaxed, knowing my dog was in such good hands. I will absolutely be using them again. Highly recommend!
Rajathy was great, very accommodating with my last minute request. My dog is pretty anxious around new people but he warmed up to Rajathy very quickly. She was also sending me updates a couple of times per day which helped me not to stress to much. Highly recommend 😊

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Scarborough 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 Scarborough
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
- 86% 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.
