“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!”
“Charlie was in excellent care while with Yu Pei. She was attentive and gives the best photo updates each time. Her place is ideal for our dog and would be booking again soon.”
“Our pup had a great stay with Caroline for the second time. Luna enjoys staying in her comfortable home with yard and playing with her dog to keep her company. We will use Caroline again when in need of dog boarding. She is attentive to Luna's needs and the care required.”
“Rory had a great time with Carolina and Enuar. I usually would have liked to see their space during the meet and greet, which is a standard practice of mine. Otherwise, i would fully recommend Carolina and Enuar.”
“The stay at Susan's was great. Commucation was efficient and fast. Drop off and pick up went well and she was accomodating regarding of the time. She sent us many pictures and updates to reassure us, which we appreciated. If your animal is ok with a small space (she lives in a small appartment) and young children (her son Logan is 3 --and very cute!), then I would definitely recommend booking with her!”

“Nicole and Joel are lovely people who opened Sunny into their home with open arms. They took excellent care of her while we were gone, leaving us to enjoy our vacation and not worry about a thing. We got regular updates and photos and knew that Sunny was being very well cared for.”
“We had the great opportunity to use Patricia’s fantastic services while we were away for 6 days from December 7th to 13th, 2021, and she managed to give us back our very happy and healthy dog! Thank you so much Patricia, as we know our Georgie is still very much a puppy, but you took it all in stride! And we appreciated the pictures while we were away too! Patricia provides an excellent, safe and very comfortable homey space for pups and we highly recommend her doggie daycare! Rover.com is the way to go for worry free care!”
“We used Hao for both all-day recurring scheduled day care and boarding while I had a medical procedure done. Hao and his family made Bear feel at home, he was treated like part of their pack and they ensured he was comfortable and happy. Thank you Hao!”
“Vicky and Jay took care of my cat Cleo for 6 days. Vicky was amazing with her care of Cleo and sent me tons of updates and pictures. Cleo had a great time there and was given lots of attention and play. Their cat Soba also got along quite well with Cleo. Vicky sent me many pictures and videos of them playing and hanging out. Thanks!”
“This was my first time leaving our dog with a stranger.Xin and her family are incredibly caring. Our dog was with her for 10 days. The first two days she sent photos throughout the day until my family felt comfortable. Thereafter, every evening pictures and a video were sent from what she had taken throughout the day. When my dog wasn’t behaving with her dog, she listened to my advice and the dogs became good friends that played together. Pictures and videos were shown of them playing a tug-of-war with a toy, wrestling and snuggled up sleeping together. She even trimmed my dog’s front paws. I would definitely leave my dog with Xin many times over when we go away.”
“Our family was away for 3 weeks, and it was such a relief to know Louie was in such good hands. We really appreciated the regular photo updates while we were away. Seeing him looking comfortable and relaxed in every update gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that Louie was getting lots of attention and care during his stay. Thank you for taking good care of Louie. We would definitely book with you again and highly recommend you to others!”
“Caio and family were an excellent fit with our social, active three-year-old dog. Lots of updates throughout the week and easy to communicate with any time of day. Would highly recommend and will use them again.”
“Hope did an amazing job with Leo. This was my first time using a sitter and she made the whole process seamless. She took great care of him and sent photos through the day/evening. I would highly recommend her and use her again in the future.”

I had a great experience with her dog boarding service! Xin was very accommodating and made sure my dog was well taken care of throughout the stay. I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely book her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog!
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 !
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.
