“This was our Dog's first time staying with a sitter, and we were honestly nervous about using Rover. We had tried other sitters for a fit, but she never connected with them. With our trip coming up, we found Shelly and her family at the very last minute and didn’t even have time for a meet‑and‑greet. What immediately drew us in was that they had young kids even more than having their own dogs because she absolutely loves children. We knew the transition would be hard for her, but Shelly and her family went above and beyond. They sent us daily updates, were incredibly patient, and gave her the space she needed. Over time, she warmed up and even started going on walks with them after 3days of not going on a walk, She quickly transitioned to 4 walks in a day. Shelly was reassuring throughout, reminding us that given her age, this adjustment was completely normal, and that by her third stay she’d likely be even more comfortable. I would recommend Shelly and her family over and over again.”
“Manuel and Maricris were quick to respond, were able to accommodate my last-minute booking, and kept me updated throughout my dog's stay with photos and messages, which gave me real peace of mind. Overall, it was a smooth, positive experience, and I'm very grateful for the great care they provided. Highly recommend!”
“Yasemine and Daniel are fantastic! They took the time to learn about my dog and all of her particular needs. They sent lots of updates. I did not have to worry about her at all while we were away. Zaffy had a great time and I would highly recommend them!”
“A returning client, I just cant say enough great things about Britt and of course our Willow girl's new BFF, Mona. Britt is very responsive and was we were grateful for a short notice booking.”
“Rie and Masahiro were wonderful sitters for my dog, Laika (65lbs). She needed some extra love and attention, and they were incredibly accommodating. Their communication throughout was excellent, sending me regular updates and pictures, which really reassured me while I was away. Laika seemed so happy and well cared for during her stay with them. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters.”
“Jennifer was amazing! I think my dog Tuna went on 5-6 walks on her overnight stay! Jennifer was very communicative and accommodating to my baby tunas needs. She was able to apply a medicated cream on my girl for an ongoing medical condition and was very thorough! I really enjoyed talking to Jennifer and so pleased with her taking care of my baby Tuna! Will definitely book with her again! Thank you so much! 10/10”
“Mariella and her family are wonderful with our Rocky They are very loving and we felt very comfortable with Rocky being with them during our 2 week vacation We would recommend Mariella to anyone needing their services Veronica and Paul”
“I can't say enough good things about Liz. This was the first time to put our cat with someone new but Liz's love and kindness put us to ease. She sent daily photo updates, she treated Quinn like her own. There was no other pets and the house is well prepared for hosting pets. Quinn definitely miss her and will be back for sure. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended”
“I had a wonderful experience with Seema and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog, Max. From the moment we met, she was very friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Max was dropped off at 7:30 in the morning and picked up at 7:30 in the evening, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands throughout the day. Seema was extremely caring and loving toward Max. He had a great time playing fetch with her and was walked multiple times during the day. She made sure he was fed properly and well taken care of. Max also made a new friend, Yogi—an 11-month-old Golden Retriever—and they had an amazing time together, playing and running around in the backyard, even enjoying the snow. It was clear from the updates and interactions that Max was happy, comfortable, and well behaved in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and dedication Seema showed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Max and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jayna was fabulous with our dogs and one of them is definitely a handful - full of puppy energy and a lot of bounce! 🤣 We’d highly recommend her and will definitely bring the boys back to her (when the little one’s energy balances out a bit!)”
“I left my seven month old golden retriever puppy with Mathieu and Esther (and Marlow!) over the weekend. They took excellent care of her! Puppies are a handful, and they went over and above. My dog got special instructions after being spayed, and they were super accommodating. I highly recommend them!”
“Dharaben was super accommodating and patient with my anxious pup! I received frequent communication with lots of picture and updates. Will absolutely be booking with Dharaben again!”
About: Confident leash handler. Experienced with rescues, bully breeds, as well as reactive and senior dogs. Red Cross Pet CPR certified. I'm a big guy and LOVE big dogs (and little ones, too!)

“Amanda and her family took amazing care of Ripley while we were away! From the initial meet and greet to the boarding of Ripley, Amanda made the entire process smooth and a positive experience for Ripley and us.”
“Matthew took amazing care of my two boys, Gus and Jaq! He sent frequent pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while they were in his care. My two frenchies clearly had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were safe and well looked after. I would absolutely recommend Matthew and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!”
“Michelle is a lovely, warm person who is clearly very comfortable with hosting dogs of all kinds. She was amazing with our two dogs and they came home both happy and very tired in the best way. She let them be themselves and stick to their normal routines which really gave us peace of mind while we were away, and ahe was great about keeping us updated with pictures. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“Rachel was a fantastic sitter and tuned into all of Puddle’s needs; belly rubs, being squished, burrowing under pillows and snuggling up at night. Would definitely use her again.”
“I can’t recommend Gail enough! We left our Rocky with her for a few days while we were busy with our wedding and he enjoyed his stay so much! He was very comfortable and the photos that we were sent everyday helped calm our nerves. You can tell that Gail really has a love and appreciation for dogs. We can’t thank her enough ❤️❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Upper End 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 Upper End
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 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.
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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
