“Our Millie had a terrific time with Vickie and her family! She was well cared for. Vickie was easy to communicate with and was excellent at keeping us up to date on Millie’s visit. Highly recommend!”
“We just cannot thank Elizabeth (Jayne) enough for all the love and attention she gave our old boy, Jack while we were away on vacation. Jayne was happy to be in touch with us and regularly sent pics and videos. Jack doesn’t always do well without us, but he settled in quickly and absolutely loved all the walks, love and attention he got at Jayne’s house! Jack is diabetic so it was such a relief knowing that Jayne had lots of experience giving insulin too. We will most definitely be calling Jayne again! Thank you, Jayne!”
“Amanda was super amazing with Mikko. He had such a blast with her the whole day and we could see it in the picture updates she sent us. We totally appreciate Amanda’s communication throughout the day, especially with it being Mikko’s first time with pet sitter. 100% we’ll be going back and Mikko will probably love that.”
“Mohina was a life saver for us. She took our pup in as an emergency board for us when we were stuck and we couldn’t have been more grateful. She was an absolute pleasure to meet and her family is so kind and lovely as well. They treated my Rusty like one of their own. Coco and Chanel approved! I believe everything happens for a reason and I am so glad we met. We have found our new boarding spot for sure! Highly recommend. ❤️”
“This is Poki’s third stay with Monique and as always she was incredibly communicative, patient, and so sweet to our anxious boy. Monique is a pro at handling any and all challenges Poki may throw at her and we are truly grateful for her taking care of him so my husband and I can go on date night!”
“Coco had a wonderful stay with Yogita and Dibakar. They were very accommodating throughout the process and gave us regular updates that made us feel connected to our girl even though she was far away. Would definitely book again — Thank you!”
“This has to be my favourite puppy sitting ever. Kyla was extremely professional and full of empathy. She treated my dog like her own family and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos. The environment inside the home was what won me, my dog didn’t miss us at all as the fury, little and the big members of her family kept my dog so safe and happy. I don’t think I will ever book any other sitter again. Thank you so much Kyla, kids and fury family members for making June feel so happy and loved. I can’t wait to come back for every other get away we have.”
“She take good care of Neal while we were away and always updated us every single while we’re on vacation. She is a Pro and I’m highly recommending her for doing a superb job. She will be on top of my list if we need one again in the future.”
“Surbhi & Tushar made me feel at ease knowing that my dog was well taken care of and loved ! Thank for the peace of mind and taking such good care of Charlie !!! The regular update pics were wonderful!! Thank you so very much !!”
“This is the first time I have gotten Kevin to look after my 8 pound, very nervous dog and he was wonderful!!! He kept me updated on how she was doing and provided some photos. I am so very glad I have found Kevin, I have already booked him for the summer when I will be away. Would not hesitate to recommend Kevin!”
“My anxious senior goldendoodle had the time of her life at Pragya’s! She was kept so busy over the 12 days she barely had time to miss us! Thank you for making Roxy part if your family and easing our guilt. I highly recommend Pragya as a dogsitter!”
“Natasha is an amazing fur kid sitter. She takes amazing care of Daisy & Delilah and we have no worries when she’s with them. She is responsive to messages and sends updates as often as we request. Natasha was also able to help out last minute due to a family emergency which was greatly appreciated. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“This is our first experience with Logan as a caregiver for our large breed active dog. Over the course of our pet's stay, it was apparent through photos that Logan sent us that our pup not only got lots of playtime with other dogs but was also taken hiking and swimming with Logan's other pup guests. There is no doubt that Logan is a caring, energetic, and dedicated host. We highly recommend him.”
“Maria is wonderful! She watched our dog for 5 days while we were away and sent many pictures and updates. Mipha came home happy and pooped! We are very grateful to have found someone so close by who can take such wonderful care of our dog!”
“Samantha was fantastic with Hank—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was clear from the start that she’s incredibly knowledgeable and experienced with dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind when leaving our pup with someone for the first time!! We received plenty of text, photo, and video updates throughout the weekend, and it was obvious Hank was having the best time. He came home happy, relaxed, and tired—in the best way. Samantha also provided a crate and lots of toys, which made packing so much easier on our end. Highly recommend Samantha—we’ll absolutely be booking with her again! :)”
“I had a lovely experience boarding Kwasi with Niru and Kartik. They were patient and considerate taking the time to be gentle with my Kwasi when he started to get anxious. They were quick to send daily updates with pictuees to let me now everything was going well. I would definitely like to book again and would not hesitate to recommend them in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Starkville 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 Starkville
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
