“Naomi and Sam kept in contact with me while boarding my dog for 10+ days! My dog was pampered with lots of pets and had daily exercise! Would highly recommend Sam and Naomi to anybody!”
“I had to make alternative plans for boarding my dog the week before Christmas. I was in a bad spot and wanted the best care for Trouble. Samantha was extremely accommodating. Since I was nervous leaving my dog she provided updates and pictures through Troubles stay for me which was a gigantic relief. I also had to change my return plans to significantly earlier because of weather and again she accommodated the last minute request. I'm very happy and Trouble had a fantastic time. If I need to board Trouble again I will definately reach out to board with Samantha and her family.”
“My dogs had a blast with Zaira and her family!!! They spent a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful we were having over the weekend and she gave them the love and attention they needed. She followed all care instructions to the letter and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay. Overall 10000/10, will absolutely re-book with Zaira. Mil gracias 💛”
“We've left our mini labradoodle, Cookie, in her care a couples now, and each time has been an incredible experience. Monique is very communicative and keeping us aware of Cookie's status, making sure we never ever have to stress about him. It's an added bonus that she has a couple of her own, which gives Cookie a chance to socialize and forget about his separation anxiety. Highly recommended to leave your loved ones in her care if you're in the area!”
“Copper's second stay with Jennifer and Brent was as successful as the first. Copper had a great time - And got spoiled by all the attention and special treatment -- Like getting to sleep on the sofa! Jennifer and Brent also took him hiking one day which we know he loves. We will certainly leave Copper with them again on our next trip to St. Catharines. Thanks for all you do for him and us, guys! Take care. Ron and Jen.”
“They are the BEST dogsitter ever. My dog Beethoven was there 7 days. They keep me updated every day , treathim like they own family members. Thank you for give him all the loves and cares !!!”
“Couldn’t be more grateful for the care Darien and her family has given to our dog. From the moment we left, we felt reassured knowing he was safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. It was obvious through the updates and photos that he was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention and affection. The regular photo updates truly helped put us at ease and made being away from him so much easier. We really appreciated the kindness, communication, and level of care throughout the stay. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already rebooked for next month. Highly recommended!”
“Meagan took awesome care of our little Mille. Right from the moment we met Meagan and her family we knew Mille would love staying with them. We plan to have Meagan take care of our dog again.”
“Deborah was terrific. She provided a safe, and loving home for our dog. Was easy to communicate with. Her dog was wonderful company for Sadie. Our dog left happy and tired. Thanks so much!!”
“Siobhan is a fantastic care giver for our 8 year-old Beagle. He thinks of her place as a second home and is very excited when we pull up in the car. We highly recommend Siobhan.”
“Ryan was great with Lilah! Paired her up well with a sweet pug. Then brought her for a big walk, I could certainly tell because of how tired she was when we picked her up. I received so many updates and photos which really relieved us. Thanks Ryan once again for your expertise with dogs and making Lilah so comfortable so we could go discover Niagara!”
“Autumn has never been away from home before and I was a little nervous leaving her . Teena and Wayne made me feel at ease leaving her with them . I think Autumn enjoyed her vacation as much as we did ! Thank you ! I will definitely be using them again !”
“It’s my first time that I had to leave Abu, and Stephanie did a really great job taking care of her. I got a lot of pics and videos show Abu’s happy face everyday. Penny is so also caring and I think they make such a cute team! Just adorable.”
“Can’t thank Heather and Matthew enough for taking such great care of our dog Tucker. Tucker can be a bit anxious though he settled in nicely and had a great first visit! Booking again right away!”
“Hayley did a fantastic job with Coco. Hayley responds quickly. She made a lot of pictures so we don't worry about Coco. I saw Coco's pictures lounging on the couch, walking together with Penny. Thank you so much for taking care of Coco. We will do this again.”
“Karen and Jorge were very easy to schedule a stay for my Yorkie Olly. They were interested in making sure he was safe and well cared for. The photos they sent were a very good indicator that Olly felt right at home. The environment is clean and safe and obviously full of love for my Olly. He came home tired from something in spite of the fact they are in an apartment. I will definitely request additional stays for Olly. Karen and Jorge are very kind and caring!! Thanks to them both….”
“Monica and her children were great with Nova. Nova got lots of attention and I got great updates and pictures regularly on how Nova was doing :) I will definitely rebook with her in the future”
“Shannon took amazing care of my pups while I was away for a girls wknd. She was super friendly, responsive and responsible. And my pups came back tired, so I know they had a fun and entertaining time with Shannon and her pup Henley!! :) I’ll gladly book with Shannon again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thorold
Bailey was an amazing sitter! She was able to take Eva on very short notice and was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and kind throughout the entire stay. From the moment we met, I felt comfortable leaving Eva with her. She provided plenty of photo updates, which gave me peace of mind and made it clear that Eva was being well cared for and having a great time. Overall, it was a great experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Bailey again. I’m looking forward to rebooking with her whenever I’m in the Niagara region! 😊
Izzy and Niah had a blast with Naomi, Sam, their kids, and their dog Brady. It was too cute to see Izzy not want to leave their little girl’s side! Naomi and Sam were incredibly communicative, and we greatly appreciated their flexibility when we got held up on return. We would rebook with them again in a heartbeat!
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.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Thorold 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 Thorold
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. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
