“Diana and her family was amazing! We were so worried for Elvis who has separation anxiety, but it gave us so much comfort knowing he was in good hands. Love all the photos and updates that Diana sent us. We are definitely rebooking!”
“Caroline provided our Henny with the best care. Lots of great updates and easy to communicate with. It feels like Henny had a great vacation of his own with his new friend Oisin. We will book again!!”
“Amy was a fantastic cat sitter (via boarding) for our Amber. She gave Amber all the care and patience needed, and she was also very understanding with us when we were stressing out about something that we were concerned with (which turned out to not be an issue at all, it resolved itself once Amber got more settled in to the new environment). Amy was very prompt and detailed with her daily updates to us and overall she went above and beyond with the level of care she provided. We highly recommend her and we will gladly enlist her services again in the future.”
“Carolina did a great job with my dog Coco! My dog is a puppy who has a lot of needs and Carolina was able to manage all of them without any issue. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“This was the second time I left Charlie with Yuxi Z. I would not hesitate to leave her with Yuxi Z again. I was updated every day and didn’t worry at all because I knew Charlie was in goods hands. Thank Yuxi Z.”
“We were a little apprehensive about leaving Willow with a stranger at their house but Bo made it a relaxing and enjoyable vacation for her sending many pictures and videos throughout her stay. This gave us great peace of mind while we were away.”
“She took good care of bear for 3 weeks that ishe had him at her house and would inform me of anything that she thought I might need to know and sent me pictures and videos, would recommend her definitely.”
“Susan and her family are very experienced and caring dog sitters. Really appreciate her updates, how she helped us with flexible timelines and took great care of our dog.”
“Nicole and Joel were great with Isis. We met Nicole before leaving Isis with them to make sure everyone was comfortable which we really appreciated. They were communicative while we were away, sending updates and photos and we would definitely recommend them”
“As first-time Rover customers, Patricia was the epitome of a great sitter. When picking up our pup after a long stay, we could sense she was full and happy - in her heart and in her belly! Patricia took care of our pet as if her own. We definitely recommend and would book again!”
“This was our first time booking with Mira and Charles. From the first communication, they were very prompt and really lovely to work with. It was reassuring knowing their experience and having them be as frequent as we needed with daily updates. Bernard seemed like he had a great time and was well taken care of. Would hire them to sit him again in the future.”
“Vicky and Jay have taken care of Bella, twice now! they are amazing and so kind and considerate with her. Bella was super excited to see them the second time they watched her and was fascinated by their cat Soba. Wonderful, amazing caretakers who treated her as if she was their dog. They even trimmed her hair for us. Amazing, would rebook again and again when I need someone to watch her while i’m out of town for work. Thank you both again from the bottom of my heart. You guys are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful cat sitter! Our Ghibli stayed at her house, and it was clear from the start that he was in loving and capable hands. She made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, and her home provided a warm and welcoming environment. When we picked Ghibli up, he was relaxed and content, which speaks volumes about the care he received. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—thank you for treating our fur baby like your own!”
“Samantha and her dad were absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Holly and Phoebe. They followed our care instructions so thoughtfully and went above and beyond—raising their food bowls, setting up a cozy night rug, and making sure they had plenty of fun playtime in the backyard. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such caring and attentive hands. Highly recommend!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Nikita as the sitter for my fur baby, Yoshi. She was incredibly patient and loving, which made a world of difference for us. Yoshi can be a bit anxious at times, but Nikita remained calm and patient, ensuring he felt comfortable and secure throughout his stay. Her genuine affection for animals was evident, and I appreciated the regular updates and photos and videos she provided, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Nikita to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Yoshi!”
“Our pup had an amazing time overnight with Janis in her cozy home. Janis takes great care of your dog and follows your daily routines to ensure your pup is comfortable (even putting on snowsuits and booties in this cold winter weather!). She has great communication and sends photos to make you feel at ease. We will be repeat clients because our pup already wants to visit Janis again!”

Amy and her husband took good care of Cinnamon during his stay . She made sure he had his walks , received treats on time and kept me updated throughout with messages and photos . She reaches out if needs information or clarification regarding his food habits or routine . When I had to unexpectedly extend the stay she even cooked food for him after I gave details . I truly appreciate her kindness and attention to detail and will definitely use her services again . Thanks Amy !
Masako was absolutely wonderful with my dog! I was out of the country for three weeks, and it was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know for that long, so I was naturally a little nervous. Masako made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated regularly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came back to a happy, well-cared-for pup! I would definitely book with Masako again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Albee and Christian took great care of my dog, Griffin! Great communication and sent many happy updates and photos of them playing. My dog can be anxious staying overnight in new places but Albee was so patient and gentle with him until he settled in. He came home happy, healthy, and very clean (even despite muddy weather outside). I will 100% trust Albee again to look after Griffin. 😊
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!
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
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
- 87% 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.
