“Andrea was amazing! We have a senior dog who can be difficult with new people and her deteriorating eyesight and hearing can make leaving her with a new person very stressful for us and her. Andrea had a very gentle and calm approach with our dog which allowed her space to feel comfortable. Her updates gave us peace of mind and when we picked her up she seemed at home in her house. It was so comforting for us to know Riley was well taken care of. We would highly recommend Andrea as she clearly has a great energy and connection with dogs putting them at ease.”
“Kelsey took very good care of my dog 🐶 she’s very kind and kept me in the loop on what my dog was up to throughout the days. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking to have her sit their fur babies! ❤️”
“Guinness really enjoyed his stay with Kevin and Kayla. He was comfortable with them from the first meet and greet, which made me feel confident in choosing them to care for him while I was away. Communication was great and made my booking super easy. I’ll definitely book again!”
“We are so lucky to have Daisy & her family take care of Corkey again. He’s always so happy and well-cared for. I especially like that the whole family is involved in the care. No hesitations with asking them to take our Corkey again!”
“Dani was great at caring for our pup Luna. From sending lots of photos to communicating as to how she was doing, we very much appreciated that level of communication and would definitely book again in the future! Thank you! :)”
“Alisa did me a huge favour by watching my dog, Mylo overnight so that my partner and I could attend our friend’s going away party. She provided excellent care for my dog, took him on nice walks, and sent very cute photos and text updates so I knew my pet was in good hands. I highly recommend Alisa to care for your dog if you are in search of pet care now or in the future.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”
“Marlisa was kind, professional and communicative! My girl June had a great time with her and it felt so wonderful knowing she was in good hands!! Thank you Marlisa we will definitely be using you again ✨”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Shravistha was incredibly flexible with scheduling and always so accommodating. Both she and her husband took amazing care of Alfie and treated her like she was part of their own family. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She always replied to my messages promptly and kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Alfie was happy, comfortable, and truly well cared for. Shravistha is warm, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Knowing Alfie was with her allowed us to completely relax while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Rin had a grt overnight with Kaori & Mia. Rin was happy to see them again , had lots of pup play and came home happy & tired. Kaori sent regular updates and pics and is a pleasure to communicate with.”
“My first Rover experience and a very positive one! Anqian and Alexandre sent sweet updates of my cat Ham and really gave me peace of mind that he was in good hands! Thank you!”
“Vicki took a good care of our 11 year old dog Fitz. The place is beautiful and the fenced back yard was perfect for our dog to enjoy. Fitz came back home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend. Thank you Vicki!”
“Finding the right caretaker for my girl Rosie - who can be very shy and nervous around new places and spaces, and experience stress while we are apart. I wanted to ensure she would be with the best caretaker, and this was particularly important as I planned to be away for an extended period over the holidays. Thankfully, I came across Heather’s reviews and was able to connect with them before boarding Rosie. This provided me with a sense of relief and assurance to know she would be in a loving home. Rosie experienced an exceptional level of care and love and grew comfortable and content under Heather’s care. From daily walks and adventures to routine brushing, and homemade broth; Rosie was such a happy girl! Her sweet, loving, and active personality got to shine including her beautiful coat! Beyond grateful I had connected with Heather - I highly recommend her services. We will certainly be repeat customers.”
“Ida and her dog Nala were very welcoming to our dog Maika who was quickly integrated in the family. It was her first time sleeping anywhere else than home. They played with her, brought her to walks, nature parks and dog parks, cuddled with her and remained attentive to her needs. We loved receiving daily reports with pictures of the day. At the end, our dog was reluctant to get in the car with us, as she had a great time with Ida and Nala. It helped that we first booked Ida for a walk then for a one night sleepover so our dog knew we would come back after our 5 nights trip. We will definitely book Ida again!”
“Criofan is absolutely amazing with dogs! It’s so clear how much she truly loves and cares for animals. She was incredibly dedicated to our dogs’ well-being, safety, and happiness the entire time. Her dog Albert was the perfect companion and brought so much joy, exercise, and positive energy to our dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Lauren was super helpful with our anxious dog. She allowed us to visit prior to our vacation, to help get Roo more comfortable, and provided lots of updates during Roo's stay. We are very thankful to Lauren for looking after our pup so kindly. Roo can't wait for her next visit!”

Our beagle had a wonderful time with Ida! And with her beautiful dog. So grateful to find Ida last minute. She gave us regular updates, and photos. They went for lots of walks and Eli really had a good time. Ida was super attentive and easy to communicate with and is a lovely human! Would highly recommend her!
My wife and I recently left our Obi with Lucas for a long weekend. It was our first foray into the world of Rover and we were not disappointed. Lucas was extremely professional from start to finish. He clearly loves animals of all types and we wouldn't hesitate using his services again.
Stacey is our go-to sitter for our corgi Valkyrie. Val has been enough times that at the most recent drop-off, she didn't even look back at us when we left haha. She always has a really good time, and my spouse and I have peace of mind knowing our dog is getting great care from someone we trust.
Natalie was great! She took excellent care of our chocolate lab and kept our condo clean and plants alive. She communicated promptly and was easy to reach. You can see that Natalie has a great understanding of dog wellbeing and psychology. I would recommend Natalie without any hesitation!
Madison was an absolute pleasure to work with. She kept me updated throughout my trip with regular photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. Her comfort and awareness of my dog's needs and medication made me feel confident that my pet was in caring, capable hands. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about my pet. I highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Victoria 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 Victoria
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 83% 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.
