“Svetlana and Artur were amazzzing with our girl Maggie!! She felt right at home and was well cared for. They provided us with lots of photos and communication during our trip which made us feel at ease. She seemed to have the best time and loved spending time with their dog too. We will definitely use Svetlana and Artur in the future and would highly recommend for others!!! Thank you!!”

Jolene and Martin provided amazing updates and pictures of Frankie and Mavis over the course of their stay which was greatly appreciated.”
“Charlette and her family took such great care of our little baby. She sent several updates and pictures all day. Because of her great care I was able to visit family with no worries about our fur baby. Thank you so much for everything you did for me!!! I will definitely use again if in the area in the future.”
“I can't say enough good things about Liz. This was the first time to put our cat with someone new but Liz's love and kindness put us to ease. She sent daily photo updates, she treated Quinn like her own. There was no other pets and the house is well prepared for hosting pets. Quinn definitely miss her and will be back for sure. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended”
“I cannot recommend Trisha enough! She took care of my dog, Stitch, for three nights and four days, and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease she’s warm, kind, and clearly has a natural love for animals. Throughout the stay, Trisha went above and beyond to make sure Stitch felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos. Her home was welcoming, and it was clear she had created a safe and happy environment for pets. When I picked Stitch up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had bonded with her. That’s all I needed to see to know I made the right choice. Trisha is someone I trust completely with my dog, and I’m 100% leaving Stitch with her next time I travel. It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable and loving to count on. Thank you, Trisha!”
“Andreas was absolutely amazing. From the moment we booked him he was very communicative and answered any questions we had and calmed our worries. During our dog’s stay with Andreas, he sent lots of pictures and videos to let us know everything was going well. We will definitely rebook him for our next trip!”
“My cat Vlad was well taken care of and loved with Julio! I got consistent updates and pictures of how he was doing during his stay, and would recommend Julio to anyone needing a trust worthy sitter for their furry friend! I’m excited to continue using his services in the future!”
“Based on previous reviews and messaging/meeting Robyn, I felt completely at ease with my 5-month Beagle puppy staying with Robyn & Corey for 2 weeks. I really appreciated receiving regular updates and photos of my puppy, all showing how well that he was being cared for and the fun that he was having with his new friends.”
“Chelsea was wonderful with our two dogs. They came home happy and they seemed even more bonded to each other, which is amazing because on of them is a recent rescue. Chelsea is knowledgable about the needs of our rescue pups. I felt secure knowing they were in a good home, with attentive care while we were away.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Hunter with Brian on Tuesday afternoon. When we picked him up on Thursday morning he was sad to leave his new family. Jenn and Brian were terrific.”
“Sandra and her family took exceptional care of Morita! She was well loved and taken care of, and we would highly recommend. As a rescue, Morita is a little shy at first but naturally curious and because Sandra and her family gave her the time and space she quickly warmed up and had a fantastic stay. Thank you Sandra!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - St. Catharines
Camila and Santiago took great care of our dog for two weeks this summer. It was a seamless experience. Our dog loved them right away. They were attentive and affectionate with him, treating him as if he was their own. We received regular updates with photos, which were very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to use their services again. Thank you Camila and Santiago!
Chelsea did an amazing job at making our dog Juana comfortable and providing lots of updates. Juana is a very social dog and Chelsea made sure she was well exercised and mentally stimulated with lots of outside time. I would definitely recommend Chelsea to others for their pet sitting needs!
It was my first time using the service, and Tania made the experience absolutely amazing! Thank you for taking such great care of Wilson while we are away. She sent frequent updates and videos/photos throughout the stay. I knew my boy was in good hands. Much appreciated!
Jade was awesome! Sh looked after my 15 week old pup Marlo and made me feel very comfortable leaving her there. She made sure that Marlo would get along with the other dog in her care and would send me pictures of Marlo. Also her response time was always very quick. Would highly recommend.
Marisa has done multiple drop in visits for my puppy Nemo, while I was away at work, when Nemo was small. She also boarded Nemo (now 5 months old) for a week recently and Nemo was so ecstatic to see Marisa, which was heartwarming to see. Marisa even picked her up and dropped her off which was great. She has always been punctual and sends updates while caring for your pet. I felt very comfortable away while Nemo was boarded with Marisa.
Melissa was one of the greatest borders I’ve ever had my dogs stay at. She works from home so almost always with them, is extremely accommodating, quick on responsiveness and great at providing updates with pictures. Believe it or not, she boarded my THREE Dobermans, 2 girls and a boy, for a full 24h while I had to get out of town. Also a plus for owners with big dogs who play rough with other dogs; nothing to worry about, she does not have a dog of her own living with her! Always very positive and professional in our interactions, will definitely use her boarding services again if ever needed!
Connor was absolutely exceptional. From the moment Draper arrived, it was clear he was in thoughtful, capable, and genuinely caring hands. Connor communicated consistently with detailed updates that were reassuring and honest, which made a huge difference while I was traveling. He was attentive to Draper’s comfort, routines, and little nuances, especially during a sudden cold snap, and went out of his way to make sure Draper stayed warm, comfortable, and happy. Draper settled in beautifully, bonded quickly, and was clearly relaxed, content, and very well cared for. It is obvious Connor truly loves what he does, and that care and calm energy shows in how dogs respond to him. I could not have asked for a better experience and would trust Connor again without hesitation. Highly recommend.
Ruby was so lucky to stay with Heidi and her husband Paul while we were away on vacation. They have the perfect set up (large backyard, tons of grass, spacious home) and they made us feel comfortable leaving Ruby with non-family for the first time. Highly recommend Heidi for dog sitting!
Alannah and Rob provided excellent care for my 2 dogs over the weekend. It was our 1st time so I was a bit nervous but after meeting them both on drop off day and pick up they both seemed calm, caring and committed to the well being of my dogs they had just met. They are confident, experienced and provided sufficient communication throughout the time - quick responses, photos and a video to calm my nerves! Thank you both!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 pet, 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
