“Jessica and Tyler were incredible with Chester. Jessica sent plenty of updates, showing just how spoiled he was. I would recommend Jessica without hesitation. We have one exhausted puppy, which tells me just how happy he was and how much he enjoyed himself.”

“Selina and Pascal were fantastic! They took very good care of our dog and made sure Ruby had everything she needed and more. We received multiple updates, which gave us great peace of mind. I would highly recommend them and would absolutely rebook. Thank you!”

“Roxy had a great time with Ben and family. She enjoyed lots of walks, trips to the park and we enjoyed receiving photos of her adventures. The family were very accommodating when our flight times were changed not once but twice. We were very happy with our experience and will be using them again if they are willing.”

“We recently reached out to Ashley to care for our dog Marley and explained his separation anxiety. She was incredibly kind and accommodating to his needs right from the start. Ashley kept us updated while we were away and sent photos where we could clearly see Marley was happy and having lots of fun. That peace of mind means everything when you are leaving your dog with someone new. We will absolutely be reaching out to Ashley again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

“Kathrine and her family took such loving care of our Piper. We can't thank them enough. Piper immediately took to their daughter and the feeling was mutual. We received wonderful photos throughout their time together. Thank you so much Kathrine ?”

“Josée was an amazing dog sitter. Our dog Juny instantly fell in love with her. She took care of her needs, above and beyond. The guilt instantly disappeared, she was in dog paradise while we were on vacation. Thanks again! ❤️💜🩵”

“Mahnaz was extremely responsive, provided frequent updates and pictures and gave our kitty a home away from home. Would recommend her to others and would love to send Charlie there again in the future.”


About: Hello! I’m Julie. Passionate about animals, I grew up surrounded by dogs from a very young age. This naturally developed into a deep love for our four-legged friends, which is why offering my time to pamper your companions feels like a natural step. Thanks to our very flexible work schedules, my partner and I are regularly at home: your pets will always be in good hands and will never lack company! I work from home and only go to the office occasionally, while my partner works from home full-time. There is almost always someone on-site, and on the rare occasions there isn't, pets are never left on their own for more than 3 hours a day. For daycare, we will be there with them from the moment they arrive until they leave. Our family—consisting of my partner, my dog, my cat, and myself—is located in a very peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood, and our yard is fully fenced and secure. At our home, your pets will hang out with Zoé, our adorable 3-year-old pug. Very friendly and food-loving, she is always ready to keep her new friends company, along with our very affectionate cat, Minet.
About: With a lifetime of experience around large dogs, I’m confident caring for breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I prioritize safety, routine, exercise, and personalized attention so you can feel completely at ease while away. Doggy daycare/dog walking fits really naturally into my routine because I already have dedicated days off during the week and love staying active. I work full time, but on my available days I’m home and able to give dogs lots of attention, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. Your pet will get lots of attention, walks, playtime, and love. I stick to their routine so they feel comfortable, but I also make sure they’re getting plenty of stimulation and not just sitting around bored. At my place, they’ve got a safe, relaxed space to hang out and settle in like they belong there. In a client’s home, I keep things consistent so they feel secure in their own environment.
“Le séjour de notre chien chez Justyne s’est très bien passé. Dès son premier contact avec Justine, notre chien était calme et curieux. Il n’a pas manifesté de crainte envers elle, alors que c’est habituellement un chien craintif envers les étrangers. Son amour pour les chiens est évident. Elle a été très à l’écoute de notre chien, qui a 14 ans et qui entend de moins en moins bien. Elle nous a fait parvenir des photos et des commentaires. C’est une gardienne fantastique, patiente et très douce. Nous avons trouvé une perle rare! Nous la recommandons à 100%.”

About: Love to be outside with our furry friends! Attentive to your dog and guaranteed to have a fun walk with me! Wanna join the pack? I work in the afternoon so I love to spend the morning outside, on some kind of adventure. Rain or shine! There’s always something fun! Loose leash walk, structured walks with some basic training in there also if you’d like. Letting the dog sniff around town is also very important.
“Our dog Toffee had the best time with Soha and her dog Bully. Our dog is a nervous pup, especially in new environments, but Soha made her feel so welcome from the first introduction and is one of the kindest sitters we have had the pleasure of interacting with. We received regular updates throughout Toffee’s stay. We highly recommend Soha and will definitely be a returning customer.”

“Eliana is the best!!! She was patient and communicative, experienced and attentive, and took great care of my little guy while I was gone, my dog loved her and so did we. If you are traveling soon and don't know what to do with your dog, trust me, Eliana would be the best choice!”

“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% 😀”

“Raquel took such good care of our dog, even with his special needs and quirks. It was our first time leaving him anywhere overnight and she was so attentive and considerate, making sure his transition was as smooth as possible, and keeping us updated while we were gone. We couldn’t have left without her giving us such peace of mind. Thank you again, Raquel and family!”

“Kathryn was perfect to work with. She answered all my questions, was quick to reply, and always had an upbeat, positive way about her. Frankie came home happy and in great spirits. Kathryn actively provided "pupdates" and pictures showing how relaxed and happy Frankie was. I would recommend Kathryn to anyone needing a pup sitter, and I will most definitely reach out to her again in the future. 5 Stars!”

“Ella was amazing. Friendly, professional, and very easy to communicate with. Sent me updates with pics during cocos stay amd i can tell coco loved staying with Ella. Thank you and coco looks forward to staying with you next time.”

“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.”

When we met Jessica, we knew right away that our dog Tessa would be in good hands. She took great care of Tessa. She texted lots of photos and comments throughout the time Tessa was in her care. It’s clear that Tessa had a wonderful time staying with her! We highly recommend Jessica and will be using her services again in the future.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Thurso 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 Thurso
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:
- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 89% 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.
