“Naomi & Sam were amazing sitters for our 3 yr old (85 pound) Bernese Mountain dog. Our dog was able to stay with them for 6 nights and while she was with them she got lots of walks, great play time with their dog and kids and Naomi sent us pictures of all of her adventures every day. Having a large breed dog in your home is a challenge for many people, and this family was awesome. I would highly recommend using Naomi and Sam for a short or long stay with your dog - they were GREAT hosts. We will be booking with them again for sure.”
“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.”
“I’m so grateful to Jennifer and Brent for taking such good care of my dog, Mishti, while I was away. She can be a little anxious and picky with her food, but they were so patient with her and even hand-fed her to make sure she was eating. They kept me updated throughout, which really helped me feel at ease. I could tell Mishti was in caring hands. They also took her on lovely long walks, which she really enjoyed. Overall, they did an amazing job, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!”
“10/10 Recommend! Gracious and kind and felt absolutely at ease leaving our Logan in her and her family’s care. She sent regular updates and made sure our pup felt at home. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby ❤️”
“Amazing sitter!! I know when I leave Jiraiya with Ryan, he's going to have a blast. I can tell Jiraiya has plenty of playtime because he's a sleepy boy on the car ride home lol. Thank you Ryan :)”
“Zaira did an amazing job watching my dog Dex last weekend! He had a great time with her family and I especially appreciated her responsive communication and lots of photo updates. Thank you!”
“She was awesome with Coco and fair when I had to cut my trip short and leave early. She herself offered to waive the additionally days and gave me the refund without needing to ask her. That shows integrity and customer centric. Appreciate that very much!”
“Shannon was AMAZING! She provided constant communication and showed us photos of her walks. Even when the dogs get tired she showed us that they had a nice relaxing stay. If I ever need my dog and my sister’s dog take care of, I know who to trust. Thank you!”
“Stephanie provides a loving and caring home. Communication is outstanding and cared for my dog qs if it was her own. Will be booking with Stephanie for future trips”
“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.”
“We are very grateful and happy for the care they gave our little Loki. They were always very communicative and affectionate. Thank you very much. 100% recommended.”
“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 !”
“Couldn't be happier with the care Connor gave to Atlas. He also sent amazing updates and so many great pictures. It was clear that Atlas was super well cared for and we're so grateful.”
“Hayley was really great with Piper, sending us photos and taking her for a long walk with her dog Penny! We felt really comfortable leaving her for the night while we attended a wedding! Would highly recommend Hayley!”
“Heather and Matt were absolutely incredible with Charlie during our 10 days away. We had met with another sitter before them and it just didn’t feel right, but from our very first meet and greet with Heather and Matt, we immediately knew they were the perfect fit. We felt confident leaving Charlie in their care. They treated him like part of their family and truly loved him. Their communication was exceptional—we received regular updates and lots of photos, which gave us such peace of mind. This was especially important to us as Charlie had recently had surgery to remove a lump on his back and still had stitches. They followed all instructions perfectly and were so attentive and caring. Charlie is also very spoiled and loves being cozy with his blankets, and they went above and beyond by setting up his bed near the fireplace to keep him warm! We felt completely at ease the entire time and were so impressed that we’ve already booked another stay. We cannot recommend Heather and Matt highly enough.”
“Catia was amazing with my boy! She sent plenty of updates and pictures, which I loved! She also took him for multiple walks and he came home happy and content. I highly recommend her services. I don’t trust just anyone with my dogs, but I’m glad I found Catia!”
“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”

Chelsea did an amazing job at making our dog Juana comfortable and providing lots of updates. Juana is a very social dog and Chelsea made sure she was well exercised and mentally stimulated with lots of outside time. I would definitely recommend Chelsea to others for their pet sitting needs!
Samantha and family were fantastic to our Golden - Poppy. Right from drop off, to daily updates and pick up - everything was smooth and we felt so good knowing Poppy was in such good hands. Samantha's dog and cat were also so great with Poppy. She had a wonderful stay and we'd highly recommend Samantha in the future.
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! 😊
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% 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.
