“Our cat was so well cared for while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed pet, and it was clear that lots of love and attention had been given. The updates were thoughtful and reassuring. We’re really grateful and would absolutely recommend her!”
“We have used a number of kennels and boarders with our dogs over the years and Yingying's house is by far the best we've used. We could tell from the photos that our anxious dog had relaxed very quickly and looked right at home. Her house was spotless, the dogs got lots of time in their beautiful yard, and loved getting photo updates every morning and evening.”
“Pinjing took great care of our dog for a daycare stay. Ruby had a good time and it looked like she enjoyed the large fenced yard. The photo updates were appreciated!”
“I can’t recommend Scott & Megan highly enough! They took great care of my dog while I was away. Charlie isn’t the easiest dog to look after, so it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. They have the perfect outdoor space to safely exercise pets. They had no issues administering Charlie’s medications and provided frequent photo updates. We will absolutely be re-booking with Scott & Megan in the future, thank you both!”
“Brooke and her partner were great. They were very accommodating with my booking and made my dog feel very comfortable in their space. They sent many pictures to keep me updated and my dog looked like he was having a great time. Their dog Teddy was very lovely as well. Highly recommend.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Maggie received! As first-time clients, we were a little nervous about leaving our older dog with someone new. However, it was obvious that Maggie was in good hands. We appreciated the updates and photos which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Maggie came home happy and clearly well cared for. If you're looking for someone dependable and trustworthy, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Donna. We'll definitely be using her services again!”
“Absolutely amazing with my boys 2yr and 5 month old ! They came back exhausted and happy and she kept me updated frequently throughout their boarding experience! Can’t wait for them to see her again!”
“Justine was a perfect match for our pup! Her dog and ours, got along great. She sent lots of photos and was a great communicator. I definitely had the sense that our girl was in great hands. Can’t wait to work with her again!”
About: Growing up, my family and I used to board dogs throughout the summer. Since then, I have always loved pet sitting and do so any opportunity i get. I love being able to care for and love your pets like they’re my own for the time that i have them. I am very active, so if your pet likes, we can go for long walks/hikes/runs, and if not, we can relax together too! Pet care fits into my daily schedule as i already do it for my own dog. I work full time monday to friday, 8:30-4:30. If needed upon your request, I can go home on my lunch breaks for a quick walk and to accommodate any needs. I will be home throughout the evenings and weekends. I love to brings my animals with me when possible and if owners are comfortable with it. As i have my own pet to care for, adding one more to the bunch is just more fun! I live in an apartment, so small to medium dogs are preferred that have low-medium energy levels. I take my dog for walks three times a day, morning, after work, and night time. I am able to accommodate a variety of needs and preferences based on yours and your pets wants.
About: I give my cat and dog the best high quality care, they are my babies, I also used to foster puppies when I was at school! I’m available all day every day in the summer. Starting September I work days 8-4, so I’m available in the evenings and on weekends, also on holidays since I work in a school. I sometimes get home earlier as well I live in Hampton on the water, in an apartment and with a good walking neighbourhood and lots of room in my home and outside

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - St. John
Brooke took such great care of our giant puppy! She took him to do so many fun things, walks and hikes and swims and play time with other dogs, she sent regular pictures and videos and updates about his days with her. Her flexibility was so reassuring, as we were travelling for medical appointments which can sometimes be unpredictable. Our pup had the best time with Brooke! Absolutely book with her! You will not regret it.
Chasity was fantastic.. she was able to accommodate my short notice on Thanksgiving weekend. She was fantastic at keeping us up to date on how the dogs were getting along with her household and new environment. A number of walks and constantly interacted with and played with. I can’t say enough good things about Chasity and her family for such a positive visit with our dogs. Thank you again for everything and I would most definitely recommend her for any future visits! 10/10

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their St. John 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 St. John
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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
