“Super satisfied. Benjamin kept me update on how Kyra was doing and how she was enjoying playing with other boarders. Highly recommended. I will be booking again with Benjamin.”
“Selina and Pascal are nothing short of amazing. This has been the 3rd time booking with them and I will only choose them. I trust them wholeheartedly with the dogs and vice versa. Bandit is anxious being left with strangers and he felt comfortable for the 12+ days with no anxiety signs whatsoever. He felt right at home and didn’t even want to leave. Seems like both dogs are showing signs of missing their 2nd family since being back home! Lol Selina and Pascal created a safe space for them, took them on multiple walks, took them in as their own. Absolutely exceptional sitters!! They kept sending us updates and pictures while we were away and made sure the dogs were ok. The dogs were in very good hands! We were unfortunately unable to come back in time for pick up due to unforeseen circumstances and Selina/Pascal worked with us right away to find a solution. Like I said, amazing people and dog sitters. Book with them, your dogs and mind will be at ease!!”
“Mina made me feel quite comfortable leaving squirt with her. He didn’t seem stressed when I picked him up which tells me we was comfort aswell. I would definitely use her again”
“We are so grateful for Roberta and Diogo’s help. They are always so kind and attentive to Doug’s needs and are very responsive as well. We are lucky to have them as Doug’s caregiver!”
“I wish I could rate 10 stars. My dog was with Bruna for an extended time while we waited for her to be flown back home to Australia, and she was absolutely treated like part of the family. Bruna is 100/10, sent me photos daily and Boo had the best time ever - walks every day, so much love. I am very very thankful to Bruna and her partner and cannot reccomended her enough to anyone who loves their dogs!! Absolutely blown away with the fantastic care!”
“Rachel took wonderful care of our 17 year old beagle mix, Karmyn! She had lots of walks and outdoor time, and a lovely weekend play date with her Cockapoo Ross. She was highly communicative, easy going, and sent lots of photo updates! We would definitely hire Rachel again.”
“It felt like we were leaving our girl with family! Raquel was very welcoming and easy going. She has a fantastic backyard which our dog fully enjoyed. It was her first stay with Raquel and family but won't be her last.”
“Première expérience avec Isabelle et cette plate-forme. Un super 24 heures pour notre Sally en sa compagnie. La communication avec Isabelle était facile et agréable. Sally l'a adoptée tout de suite. 🥰 Je recommande Isabelle à 100% 😀”
“Melanie was just fantastic! Very responsive and attentive to my Logan’s needs. It sounds like they both really enjoyed each others company. I highly recommend Melanie for those in the Orleans area looking for a warm, attentive and experienced sitter like Melanie. Will definitely be brining my Logan back 😊.”
“Great experience booking with Shanice. You could tell right from her greeting that my dog was in good hands. Good communication, very helpful and friendly, I got plenty of pawsitive photos of my dog having fun lounging and going for a run! Yes my 10 year old dog went for a run, and she loved it. She normally won’t eat when I’m away but Shanice made her feel right at home and she ate right away from the first night. Very happy we went with this, would 100% recommend.”
“Alyssa and her family always take excellent care of our dog. He has been cared for by Alyssa and family on over a half dozen occasions over the years and always manifest the same reliability, care, communication and soundness of judgement with our dog . We know he is happy there. We thank you Alyssa and family!”
“Melody, Scott and Beckett are an absolute dream find for Kahlo, our German shepherd. Super proactive in getting to know Kahlo and us and very conscientious in making their space be a home from home for our girl. Communication was amazing, Kahlo had a blast and has a new bestie in Beckett for sure. Looking forward to her next stay.”
“Ella was a wonderful person, I left my puppy with her to stay overnight as we couldn’t have him in the hotel. She was very friendly she took care of him very well and honestly, I was very, very satisfied with her I will definitely bring him back”
“Our dog Jasper recently stayed with Qianzhi for two days, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she is a kind, attentive, and genuinely caring person. She took excellent care of our baby :) What stood out most was Qianzhi's calm and positive energy. Dogs have a wonderful ability to sense good people, and our dog felt completely at ease with her. We received updates with photos and could tell that Jasper was calm and quite relaxed in a safe and loving environment and enjoyed walking in a new nice neighborhood. We are truly grateful for the care and attention Qianzhi provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you, Qianzhi, for treating our dog like part of your family!”
“Here's a polished version of your review: My experience with Britanie was excellent. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and messages. I really appreciated her communication and attention to detail. She was also very flexible with both pick-up and drop-off times, which made everything convenient and stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Our first time using Rover and Katrine and Michael were a perfect choice for Milo to stay with while we were out of town. Their welcoming presence and their dog Bailey’s calm energy helped Milo feel at home. Katrine sent us pictures and updates while we were away so we knew he was having a good time and doing well. When we picked him up, he was happy to see us, but was not anxious as he has been sometimes when we’ve left him with other friends or family. Milo had a great visit and made himself at home; we would happily leave Milo with Katrine and Michael again.”
“I'm always so anxious about leaving our Emma with new people but she instantly took to Jason and his son at our meet and greet. This allowed my husband and I to leave on our week-long vacation reassured that she was in good hands. Jason provided a daily update with pictures. When we experienced travel delays, he accommodated us and watched Emma a bit longer. I would definitely recommend Jason and we'll be using him again in the future! Thanks again Jason!”
About: Hi there - I have been a lifelong dog lover and parent. I have worked with a number of rescues over the years and all our dogs have been strays, rescues or humane society specials - all older and with 'unique' needs : ) I typically work from home, but if I do go into the office I don't leave until after 8 and am home by 3:30-4pm. Dogs are free to roam at will, or be crated or be tucked into a room with a closed door and their beds, water, treats etc. I am VERY familiar with the needs of the older spicy specials out there! So, if your dog only eats microwaved rice, I get it. Needs to be carried up and down stairs, yup. Needs to have a water bowl at bed height and a night light... been there, done that. lol

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
You and your Thurso sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
