“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.”
“Benjamín and his family were great with Panchos and Arya!! They stayed with them for 18 days and Benjamin sent us updates and pictures throughout that time! I really appreciate how caring and loving they were with our dogs!!”
“Selina and Pascal were amazing with both our pups! They went on plenty of walks, let them on their couch/blankets to cuddle and gave them alllll the attention. They even have extra dog toys and bed for their visitors :) They sent us plenty of pics throughout the stay; that’s highly appreciated! My dogs were both pooped when I picked them up. Highly recommend them (we are even booking monthly overnights for our dogs to get used to them prior to an extended stay). I will always book Selina and Pascal from now on :)”
“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.”
“Justyne is absolutely amazing with our 12 yo Chinook! He had to spend the weekend with her just after his “brother” Porto (who was 15 yo) passed away and she was very attentive to him and was sending us regular updates and pictures! She had our 2 boys on several occasions over the last year and she was always very attentive, adjusting her environment to better suit our senior dogs, and was always maintaining excellent communication! She is very professional and loves dogs!!! Thank you for everything you do for our pups Justyne! 💕”
“Cara a eu un super séjour avec Josée. Elle a eu beaucoup de marches et a aussi jouer à la balle. Josée est une personne très attentionnée avec les animaux et sait s’adapter aux besoins de nos poilus. Ce fut une première visite 5 étoiles.”
“Suzanne was wonderful with Alfie. He was healing from an injury and she took great care of him and dosed out his meds perfectly. She communicated with us every day and let us know how he was doing. When we picked him up, he was happy and not at all stressed.”
“This was my first experience with Rover and Mahnazand I must say I am impressed. Her level of care for our two cats and her willingness to go the extra mile really help us feel confident that they were ok. We will keep uusing her services every time we #travel on extended stays. She watched them for two weeks and sent pictures and videos everyday so they could see them and what’s app so they could see us. Thanks again for everything.”
“My dog Freddy had a great time with Erin and her dogs. The videos and photos Erin sent me made me happy to see him having fun while away from home. I recommend her as a sitter for anyone with a dog that loves other dogs ❤️”
“Nos deux chiens sont restés chez Pénélope et Maxime. La communication a été excellente du début à la fin. Ils nous tenaient au courant régulièrement et nous envoyaient des photos, ce qui nous a beaucoup rassurés et fait plaisir. Nos chiens ont adoré leur séjour. Nous n’hésiterons pas à réserver avec eux à nouveau dans le futur!”
About: Salut 😊 Les animaux ont toujours eu une grande place dans ma vie et j’adore prendre soin d’eux comme s’ils faisaient partie de la famille. Je suis une personne douce, calme et attentive, et je prends le temps de m’adapter à la personnalité et aux besoins de chaque animal. Que ce soit pour une promenade, une visite à domicile ou une garde, votre compagnon recevra beaucoup d’attention, d’affection et de patience. Je comprends aussi que ce n’est pas toujours facile de laisser son animal à quelqu’un d’autre, donc j’envoie volontiers des nouvelles et des photos pour vous rassurer pendant votre absence 😊 Je suis à l’aise avec : * les chiens énergiques * les animaux timides ou anxieux * les chats * les routines et consignes particulières * les demandes de dernière minute selon mes disponibilités Mon objectif est que votre animal se sente en sécurité, aimé et confortable pendant votre absence ❤️ Je cherche à bâtir ma clientèle, donc mes tarifs sont actuellement plus avantageux 😊 Au plaisir de rencontrer votre compagnon ! 🐾 Prendre soin des animaux fait déjà partie de mon quotidien. J’aime intégrer les promenades, les visites et les moments de jeu dans ma routine, et je prends le temps de m’adapter aux besoins de chaque animal. Que ce soit pour une courte visite ou une garde plus longue, je m’assure qu’ils reçoivent de l’attention, de l’affection et une présence rassurante. Je prends soin des animaux avec beaucoup d’attention, de douceur et en respectant leurs habitudes. Chez les propriétaires, je m’assure de suivre les consignes données (nourriture, promenades, jeux, médicaments si nécessaire) afin que l’animal reste dans sa routine et se sente en sécurité dans son environnement. Lors des promenades, je m’adapte au rythme du chien et je veille à ce qu’il dépense son énergie de façon sécuritaire et agréable. Pour les visites à domicile, je prends aussi le temps de donner de l’affection, de jouer avec l’animal et de vérifier qu’il va bien avant de repartir. Si l’animal est accueilli chez moi, je lui offre un environnement calme, sécuritaire et confortable, avec des moments de jeu, des promenades régulières et beaucoup de présence afin qu’il se sente comme à la maison.
“Archie was right at home right away. Very clean house and Pesto and Archie became friends quickly. Sent lots of pics and updates. Archie came home a happy boy! Thank you.”
“We had a great experience with Praveen over Easter weekend! He took excellent care of our cat, Izaak, and kept us updated throughout his stay. Communication was easy, and we felt confident that Izaak was safe and well cared for. We would definitely book again—highly recommend!”
“Marc and his family are phenomenal dog sitters! They looked after our Boston Terrier for 1.5 weeks and everything went great from start to finish. Communication was always clear and quick, and regular photo and video updates gave complete comfort that our dog was fully settled in and having a wonderful time. I would 100% recommend, and will be booking again with them in the near future.”
“I highly recommend Raquel for your sitter needs. I was a little nervous at first as my dog has a few quirks most people wouldn’t be fond of, but Raquel had no issue with this and was more than happy to watch him. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout the week to let me know how things were going. I will definitely book again with Raquel when I need care for Rango! 10/10”
“Our pup had such a wonderful stay with Mel. She was so incredibly attentive and sent us pictures of him throughout the weekend. We’ll certainly contact her again for her services!”
“Debbie took great care of our two dogs over the weekend. We dropped off our senior lab and our energetic teen retriever— and they settled in great. She provided updates, photos, and was easily reachable/ easy to communicate with. She seemed to have great experience with not just dogs but animals in general. We’d book with Debbie again without hesitation.”
“Otto stayed with Ella for a few days, she did a great job taking care of him, and Otto was lucky to have such a great carer. They spend time with another dog and a cat that reinforced Otto’s training and introductions. Very good communication and would definitely recommend Ella for future occasion if you want to have your dog in great hands .”
“This was the first time we’ve ever left our little Cookie with anyone. Needless to say we were a little nervous, but Cathy and her daughter were nothing short of exceptional. Cathy sent us daily updates with a photo or two. It made our day as we were anxiously awaiting her note everyday. I would highly recommend Cathy and we will definitely call on her in the future to take care of our Cookie! Thx again Cathy!”

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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
