“I have always had an awesome experience with Diana and Kristoffer for Rio. He absolutely loves it there and comes home tired at the end of the day, sleeping like a baby. Highly recommend!”
“Caroline is awesome….Brody loves spending time with Caroline and her dog,Oisin.He gets lots of attention,walks and love and Caroline sends me daily updates and photos.I have total peace of mind when I leave Brody with Caroline overnight or longer.”
“Carolina is amazing! I was really nervous leaving our 4 month old puppy for the first time but Carolina was so confident, her communication was excellent and our dog had a great time. I was able to enjoy a week in the sun with my family and not worry about our puppy.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter while our pup stayed with him for three weeks. He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, was always easy to reach, and gave us peace of mind knowing our baby was in caring hands. What made the experience especially memorable was the effort he put into celebrating our pup's birthday; he even made him a cake! It was such a thoughtful gesture and meant so much to us. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after, and we came home to a happy, relaxed pup. We’re so grateful for the care and attention he provided and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member.”
“Rie is awesome. She is really kind and responsive. Thank you Rie for taking such good care of my furry baby! Wishing you a great summer!! My puppy will be sure to want to come back!”
“Yuxi was a super nice sitter. She was quick at communication and provided plenty of pictures and videos during boarding. She even gave our dog treats to bring home. Thanks again Yuxi :)”
“Amy has been extremely patient and sweet with my pupper who usually takes a couple of days to settle in. We got daily updates and ton of photos and videos. I can tell that my Chocolate has been taken care of really well and was in safest hands when we weren't around. I would definitely reach out to Amy again for any future requests!”
“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.”
“Leaving Coco behind while traveling is never easy, but from the very first day, this family gave us complete peace of mind — and far more than we expected. They didn’t just watch Coco; they truly welcomed him as part of their own family. Every single day, they thoughtfully sent us videos and photos, showing Coco relaxed, happy, playful, and clearly deeply loved. Seeing him so comfortable and content made it obvious that he wasn’t just being cared for — he was genuinely at home. What touched us most was knowing that Coco was not counting the days until we returned — he was truly enjoying himself. That says everything. We are incredibly grateful for their kindness, responsibility, and the love they gave Coco. This is not just dog care; this is family-level care. We would trust them again without a second thought and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone who wants their dog to be treated as their own. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for loving Coco so well. 🐾❤️”
“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!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“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”

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.

We had a wonderful experience with Brenda! She took such great care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was happy, well looked after, and received lots of love and attention. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that we really appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Brenda again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
This is our second time booking Amy. She is amazing sitter and genuinely loves dogs. She cared for our adi and went above and beyond even offering eggs when she wasn’t eating her kibble with my permission ofc. She also sends regular updates and photos of adi making us feel at ease while we were away. She picks up and drops off adi on time and is great in communication. I wouldnt have it any other way. Thank you Amy ❤️
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!
This is the first time I left Milo with any dog sitter. From the initial visit, I knew that Milo will be in good hands with Nikita and her husband. Milo felt comfortable with them from the time I left him. Thank you so much for taking care of Milo. If Milo is happy, I am happy myself ❤️❤️
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 😊
Divya did a great job looking after my Kaeidy(shitzu). She took care of Kaeidy so well that Kaeidy was very comfortable with her, her family and her pet, Whiskey ( poodle). We really appreciate the attention given to Kaeidy and we are looking forward to rebook Diviya for our future pet sittings. Kaeidy enjoyed the daily walks outside with Divya. I enjoyed receiving daily videos and photos from Divya on Kaeidy. Great work Divya. Thank you deeply from our hearts.

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.
