“This is clearly a “labour of love” for you and it shows. Fionn had such a great time. My energetic guy had a long, sound sleep last night which highlights how much fun he had with you all. Thank you for taking such fabulous care of him! It means so much to know he is in good hands.”
“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.”
“Rosie was very patient with Rubis who was somehow insecure during this first stay, despite our previous meet and greet. The appartement is well organised and there are many walking paths near by. I received regular updates and would definitely ask Rosie again!”
“It’s Elie’s second stay with Bruna and she absolutely loves her time there. She always comes back tired and happy. Bruna is truly amazing to deal with. She’s flexible, transparent and she sends lots of updates. Special mention to Peroggie, who Elie seems to like very much!”
“Eliana and her partner are fantastic. They took good care of my 5 months old puppy, which could be very challenging. She updated me with photos everyday, also messaged me any issue or situations very on time. I would definitely recommend Eliana.”
“Ella was the best with my Rosie girl!!!! We went over beforehand for a meet and greet which gave me a lot of reassurance leaving my girl with someone new. Ella was very thorough, answering all my questions and more. Communication was great with all the feedback a dog mom needs including photos ❤️❤️ Rosie seemed to have a lovely time and we will definitely book with Ella again.”
“Sheyla and Olivia were awesome with our Bernese. Right away, she adored them. They took her for multiple walks each day and sent updates often. It was clear that our dog was getting more than enough attention with Sheyla and Olivia! I would absolutely re-book them!”
“Our 15 year old Chihuahua enjoyed his week stay with Qianzhi. She provided daily updates with photos of his stay. Highly recommend and will be a repeat customer. Thanks Qianzhi!”
“Amazing dog sitter! Went above and beyond with our home-sick dog and provided timely updates with pics and videos. We really appreciate the service and would highly recommend Sanjana to others.”
“Emily & Alison are amazing. They took great care of my dogs and I can't recommend them enough. They took the time to understand each dogs peculiarities and needs. Thank you guys so much! I will definitely be re booking :)”
“I’m so happy with the care Kristina provided for Gigi over the long weekend! From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with pets. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Gigi was in such good hands. Kristina kept me updated regularly and went above and beyond to make sure Gigi was happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Kristina and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
“They took great care of our dog. Our dog came back refreshed and full of energy. They have big enough and practical dog-friendly backyard space as well for dogs to spend time outside.”
“Yingshu and Shervin are really nice! Highly recommend! They took wonderful care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog came home happy and well cared for. Reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with—I would definitely book with them again!”
“We had Shanice walk our dog on several occasions and we needed a sitter for an overnight trip. We received updates and pictures of our dog while away and felt our dog was in great hands.”
“Duane and Anne sent us photos and updates throughout our boy’s stay, and we feel so grateful to have entrusted them with his care during our wedding - especially since he’d just had his hip surgery and needed to be looked after differently from the other dogs during this booking. Both communicated promptly and attentively, and we’d love for Louie to enjoy another stay with them soon.”
“Cristina was amazing and put me at ease leave my boys with her while I was gone for the holidays. They seemed to have a good time with her. I would definitely book again with her!”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wakefield 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 Wakefield
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:
- 78% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
