“Kimberley was excellent. Our Lily has never been good with kennels, so our last option was to seek someone to look after her in their home. Kimberley was so patient and easy going. It takes Lily a bit to calm down when in new surroundings. Kimberley kept us up to date on how she was doing, which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be looking to rebook with her! Highly recommend!”
“Shannon took great care of our dog. She kept us informed throughout the weekend and sent lots of great pictures. Riley came home happy and tired out. We would love to use Shannon's services again.”
“Wilson was well looked after by Johanna during his recent visit. I was glad that she was able to give him his oral medication twice daily as he really doesn't like it. I am hoping Johanna will be available for another visit soon.”
“Apollo had such an amazing stay with Daniel & Sarah! They were very communicative and provided lots of photos with updates every day. They were great at giving him lots of exercise and excitement with ball fetching and playtime, and provided such a loving house to stay at while I was out of town! I would definitely recommend as an awesome rover!”
“From booking to drop-off to pickup everything was excellent. Christina makes the process so smooth and I can tell she loves animals. I will 100% book Ruby in for another stay!”
“My dog loves weekends at Miaozi's place. Miaozi sends pictures and videos daily, keeps us updated on food, walks, naps etc. , goes for several healthy walks daily despite the cold weather. I trust that my dog is in good hands when I leave her with Miaozi”
“Laurie was an amazing sitter who has a deep love for frenchies as a former Frenchie owner herself. She is used to all the little quirks they come with! No issues whatsoever during our booking. Sent pics during the whole thing as well. We will definitely be repeat clients ❤️”
“Wonderful place to leave your dog. We met Jason and his dogs and they were all just the nicest. Their place is very dog friendly, the yard is well fenced in, and our dog seemed really happy being there. Would definitely have them take care of our dog again.”
“Kavya took care of Bailey while we were away. Bailey made herself at home and was treated like family! I received news and photos every few days, it was perfect! Thanks!”
“First time using Rover.com, and Mitchell and Jess are great, very friendly and very responsive. They were able to help me out with an urgent booking request after my original sitter canceled last minute. They care about animals. My dog had a great time at their pet friendly home. I was kept updated with how my dog was doing with messages and pictures regularly. Would gladly ask for their services again in the future.”
“Tanya and her family were amazing !!! She kept me updated and sent me a lot of pictures !!! :) They cuddled and gave Wavi a lot of love . He was outside a lot , their dogs love mine sooo that wassss cute ! They also give Wavi a goodie bag, I really recommend Tanya !!”
“Lisa and Jason were absolutely wonderful with Storm! They went above and beyond to make our little guy feel comfortable while we were away. And the pictures we received were so cute!!!! Thank you!”
“Wow is all I can say!! Jason and his family are incredible people!! I fell sick and ended up hospitalized while Mavis was with Jason. Without hesitation he agreed to keep Mavis and kept her for several extra days. They also took amazing care of our girl. They were an absolute life saver!!”
“Five paws rating!!!! We felt very comfortable with Ruby and Gordon taking care of Puppy. They sent us pictures and videos. We will book with them again when necessary. Thank you!!!”
“April watched my 1.5 year-old corgi, Norman, for the second time this past weekend. At the last minute, I had to extend his stay an extra night and she was very understanding and accommodating in making alternative arrangements for pick-up. Both times that I've picked Norman up, he's been a happy, tired boy! As soon as I drop him off, he runs right into the house without hesitation and I don't doubt he makes himself right at home, which is comforting while I'm away. I'll gladly rebook with April again :)”
About: I’ve had tons of different animals growing up. Recently had to euthanize my 15 year old family boarder collie. Also an English bull dog who passed away at two due to breathing issues. I miss having a dog around, however am not ready to adopt my own just yet. Would love to have them over here and there. I Absolutely adore dogs! I currently work from home so I am always here to take care and love your animal! Will walk, feed, cuddle them and if permitted, take them where me and my family go, weather it’s a walk to the park or beach! We will love and care for your pet as our own. We have a backyard for them to pee/poo as well as a pool if they can swim. Will go on walks! I have two children who adore animals who are very gentle so we will all be spending lots of time together. Dog must be kid friendly though.
“Michaela looked after our 7 year old Doberman mix for one weekend. Everything went very smoothly and we felt very comfortable throughout the process. Our pup was well looked after and is sure to return. Thank you Michaela.”
“This was our first time leaving Maya with a non family member and being a nervous dog was concerned especially as we were planning a 2 week away. We set up an initial meet and greet which immediately went well and followed by 1 overnight “test run”. In all cases Maya seemed very comfortable and Michael was attentive and provided updates. During our 2 weeks away we got daily updates and pictures and could see that Maya was doing well and in good hands. The peace of mind this gave us while away was so reassuring. We will definitely call on Michael again for our next time away with no hesitation.”
“Amazing experience. It was the first time that I leave my dog to someone else so I was a little bit nervous about it. Stephanie had been amazing and accommodating, she took care of my Sugar like she would do with her own puppy. She kept me updated by sending me texts and pictures of my dog. Both Sugar and I are happy with the experience. I will definitely reach out again next time I need to dogsit my Sugar :)”

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 Tennyson 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 Tennyson
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.
