“Melissa is awesome, super flexible and relaxed. Our pup Ray has stayed with her 2X now and each time it is effortless and no stress. We don’t have to worry about a single thing when it comes to her being cared and loved for. We definitely recommend Melissa for all your pet sitting needs! Thank you Melissa for taking care of Ray! We thank you so much!”
“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.”
“Coco seemed to be very happy with Monica and enjoyed running around in her big yard. Monica was very easy to communicate with and responded to messages quickly. She sent photos and videos to keep us updated while we were away. I would highly recommend Monica as a pet sitter!”
“It was Chester’s first time and he was very well taken care of. Pratheeksha updated us with texts and photos during the stay. She made sure he was comfortable and took extra time and effort to make sure he ate properly. Thank you for the love and care he was shown! Will definitely be rebooking again and highly recommend!”
“Melissa is a very caring and thoughtful dog sitter. Billy was well cared for and a very happy boy. Melissa’s personality is very bubbly and she has such positive energy that she made me feel at ease as it was the first time I have left my fur baby for a week while I vacationed. Thank you Melissa, we will see you again!”
“natalie and daniel are amazing ! i felt so at ease knowing my fur baby were being taken of by them they sent me pictures and videos of him and always kept me updated !!! without a doubt i will using them in the near future and would recommend them over and over”
“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.”
“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! :)”
“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!”
“Kumudini has done an excellent and exceptional job taking care of Lily for a month. Lily was emotionally attached during her stay with Kumudini and the regular updates through photos and videos made us understand how she was well taken care of. Kumudini takes a keen interest to understand every minute detail of the pet that she cares for and helps them adapt very well with the surroundings. She is a genuine pet lover and pet mom who would go over and beyond to take care of the pets entrusted to her I and would highly recommend her for her services! Thank you so much Kumudini for taking care of Lily as a member of your family. We were lucky to have you to care for our darling girl!”
“Anchana did such an excellent job! We were especially grateful for her patience with Teddy seeing that he is a puppy and has occasional accidents. Plus, she went over and beyond and surpassed our expectations! She’s a keeper!”
“I am so happy found Maria for walking my dog Stella. While Stella is An Addisonian dog who is very sensitive and gets stressed very easy, Maria was very assuring that she would take care of her ;she was extremely patient and willing to help stella become comfortable. Maria is very attentive to any requests and was very flexible to any changing in scheduling and other needs that came up ,She is prompt with replies and which made communication easy and painless. I will definitely continue using her for my dog walking needs and would recommend her.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing and so kind. She took care of my babies like her own. She helped me when I was going through a really hard time. My fur babies were very happy to stay with Heather. She went above and beyond. We will definitely visit Heather again if she will have us.”
“Faye was wonderful with our puppy Penny. It was her first experience away from home and Faye made sure she felt safe and secure. She kept us informed throughout with pictures, videos and messages. If you need someone to care for your fur baby, Faye is trustworthy and a true animal lover!”
“Our dog, Gracie, had an amazing time with Qian. From the moment Gracie met Quin, she liked her right away - Gracie even turned over for belly rubs, which she usually doesn't do with new people! Qian is kind, calm, and caring. I knew Gracie was in good hands. Gracie was very well cared for during our trip, and came back calm and happy. We've already rebooked Qian for a future trip.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton's Corners
Jesse had a great day with Monica. She is very close to a park and took him on multiple walks and her back yard is as big as a park itself! Jesse has never been left alone with strangers before but by the looks of the pictures Monica sent, he adjusted right away and was snuggled up on the couch. This was just a test run but we will definitely be relying on Monica in the future for overnight and week-long stays!
We had a wonderful experience with Samantha. She was caring, reliable, and attentive, making sure Toto was comfortable and well looked after. Communication was great throughout including the initial meet and greet and subsequent interactions. We would definitely recommend her and happily book again!
Yogita and Dibakar are lifesavers. They took care of my perfect pup in the best way possible. From catering to his fussy eating to being responsive on texts to accomodate changes and providing constant update. They are a breeze to work with and my number and only choice to board my pet. Thank you so much for doing this. Best regards
Fantastic interaction from beginning to end! Our first time using Rover and Cecily reassured me that my dogs would be fine (and of course they were!). Cecily even walked my massive childish German Shepard and showed us a better harness set up to make him walk better! They came home relaxed and happy. We have rebooked for another sitting. Thank you Cecily we appreciate everything you have done for Angus and Bean.
Tanisha’s boarding service has been nothing short of amazing! I received updates, pictures and she’s very accommodating…Such a great experience highly recommend! As I’d definitely use her services again!!! My dog was definitely taken care of 🥰 Thank you again Tanisha for such a wonderful service!
Mia looked completely comfortable with Sharai,which was a relief. Sharai did a great job of keeping in touch with us and sharing photos of Mia. We felt reassured that Mia was being well taken care of. Thank You for taking care of our girl! We'll book with you again.😀
Faye was an amazing sitter. Our Snowy was well loved and looked after. Faye is very flexible and understanding. She is a pet mom herself so it makes things so much easy. We left Snowy for 2 nights / 3 days; Snowy had so much fun. We will definitely use Faye's services in the future and highly recommend her if you are from the Oshawa area.
This was the first time Darcy had been away from us overnight. Gaby was great with him. She sent lots of photos of him playing, going for a walk, and even watching a baseball game! I'm not totally sure he wanted to come home, and we had a worry-free vacation. Thanks, Gaby!
Sarah was wonderful with cody! this was his first time staying in someone’s home instead of a pet hotel, so i was naturally nervous. she took the time to ask lots of questions beforehand so she could understand his routine and make him comfortable. throughout the stay, she kept me updated, sent photos, and was very honest about everything that happened—even the little challenges, which i really appreciated. communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear she genuinely cared about cody’s well-being. i’d definitely trust her with cody again. thank you so much, Sarah!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We couldn't have asked for a better Rover sitter! From the moment we started talking to Zehra, it was obvious how patient, kind, and genuinely caring she is. She is truly the BEST —so calm, encouraging, and completely tuned in to what was needed. Throughout the entire week, she kept us updated with so many photos, videos and messages, which made being away from our pup so much easier. We never once had to wonder how he was doing. He was so happy, comfortable, and loved in her care. Her husband was absolutely wonderful too, and together they made my pup feel like part of their family. Also, their pup and cat are just the sweetest - so calm and well-mannered. We will absolutely see her again and can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of our happy little guy. ❤️
This is the second time we have asked Shelby to look after our dogs and it has been great. Her house and environment is very similar to our house. She has provided me with h several daily updates and it makes a difference when you are a week away. It has been a great experience and I certainly will consider again for a future boarding need and she is highly recommended

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 Thornton's Corners 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 Thornton's Corners
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.
