“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! ❤️💜🩵”

“We left our sweet Janna with Ben for 12 days — the longest we’ve ever been away from her, and the first time she stayed with someone outside of our family. From the moment we dropped her off, Ben made the entire experience incredibly comforting and stress-free. He went above and beyond every single day. Janna was walked regularly, kept active, and absolutely showered with affection. Ben sent us frequent updates and photos, which truly put us at ease and made us feel connected to her even while we were away. When we picked her up, it was obvious how well-loved, healthy, and emotionally balanced she was. She was relaxed, happy, and completely at home — you could tell she had been spoiled in all the best ways. Honestly, when she hears Ben’s name now, she perks right up… I think she may have adopted him as her second favourite human! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ben has officially become Janna’s “home away from home,” and he will be our first choice every time we travel. Highly, highly recommended — 10/10 experience. ❤️🐾”

“Clara and Elmo are truly incredible - Jack stayed with them for the weekend and it’s so clear from the many pictures shared that he had an absolute blast. They are both so lovely and patient with him ☺️ I feel very grateful to have found them and definitely plan to have them care for Jack again in the future!”

“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!”

“As always, Bruna was great! Very communicative, flexible and nice. She sent lots of updates and pics/videos from their adventures! Zaya came back really tired which means to me she had an excellent time. Thanks so much Bruna!”

“Abbie had a wonderful time with Sylvie, their family and dog. We got frequent updates with great pictures and videos of Abbie in the house and on long walks. It was evident that Abbie was very well taken care of. We whole heartedly recommend Sylvie to take care of your dog, and we will for sure board Abbie with Sylvie again.”

“Duke had a wonderful time! He was treated like family with all the attention he was used to getting at home. We got lots of updates and the communication was great. Thanks again! Perfect stay!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Judy is a wonderful dogsitter. Our pup was delighted to spend time with her. You know when there is a connection and genuine love for dogs - Judy is that person. So grateful that we can have a peace of mind when we have to leave our puppy for a few days with Judy.”

“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.”

“I'm always so anxious about leaving our Emma with new people but she instantly took to Jason and his son at our meet and greet. This allowed my husband and I to leave on our week-long vacation reassured that she was in good hands. Jason provided a daily update with pictures. When we experienced travel delays, he accommodated us and watched Emma a bit longer. I would definitely recommend Jason and we'll be using him again in the future! Thanks again Jason!”

About: Hello! We’re Brad and Siobhain - married couple in La Pêche. We have many years of pet care experience and training. We have a loving German shepherd named Tank at home. Salut ! Nous sommes Brad et Siobhain, un couple marié de La Pêche. Nous avons de nombreuses années d'expérience dans le soin et le dressage d'animaux de compagnie. Nous avons un adorable berger allemand nommé Tank à la maison. Brad works from home, so there is always someone home to take care of your pet. We are always home, which is why pet sitting is a good fit for us - outside of our love for pets :) Brad travaille de la maison, alors il y a toujours quelqu'un pour s'occuper de votre animal. Nous sommes toujours à la maison, c'est pourquoi la garde d'animaux nous convient parfaitement, sans parler de notre amour pour les animaux ! We don’t have a fenced yard but we have secure cable attached on our deck for your pet to stay outside, outside of walk times. Small dogs are allowed on furniture but not big dogs Nous n'avons pas de cour clôturée, mais nous avons installé un câble de sécurité sur notre terrasse pour que votre animal puisse rester dehors en dehors des promenades.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I’ve spent over 3 years working in a veterinary clinic, where I’ve supported pets with all kinds of personalities, medical needs and routines. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, and animals who may be nervous or need a little extra patience. My background also means I can safely give medication, monitor for illness, and provide extra support when needed. What matters most to me is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I take the time to follow their routine and get to know them. I will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine, and we’re available most of the time. We genuinely enjoy being around animals, so your pet will always have company, attention, and care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left unattended, and we make their safety, comfort, and happiness our top priority so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We always like to do a meet-and-greet first to make sure your pet feels relaxed and comfortable with us before any booking. We provide a calm, quiet home environment with no other pets, so your pet will receive our full attention. We’re also located near the Ottawa River, with access to large green spaces that are perfect for safe, enjoyable walks. Whether in our home or yours, we focus on following your pet’s routine closely and creating a stress-free, secure environment where they feel at home.
“We left our Boston terrier Oscar with Miaozi for almost two weeks. Starting from meet and greet we absolutely love to find such a great caring and loving sitter! Honestly, it was like leaving your pet with a very long known friend or family member. Absolutely trustable and responsible, very punctual. And the most important - you feel safe and confident your pet is staying with a loving friend while you’re so faraway. I highly recommend Miaozi to anyone looking for a great sitter for your furry baby.”

“Cristina T. once again looked after our Schnoodle pup Tucker while we went away for a few days and she really has become a "second mom" to our dog. Tucker loves Cristina and Cristina cares for Tucker like he was her own pet. We never worry about Tucker when he is in Cristina's capable and loving hands. If you are looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter, Cristina is a gem completely worthy of your consideration. ❤️”

“Julia saved the day! We left our dog with another caretaker who decided a couple days in that it was not a good fit. He messaged me while I was away in Florida, unable to pick up the dog. At 8pm I was able to find Julia, and not only did she agree to take our dog, but her partner went and picked her up for us. I could have cried. Our dog the went on to have an INCREDIBLE week with Julia and her other dogs. She came back better socialized and more confident. I actually felt sad bringing her home because she seemed to have the best week. Julia said a heartfelt goodbye to our girl and it really seemed that she has such a genuine love for dogs. She will be our permanent dog sitter moving forward and we are so grateful for how she swooped in and saved the day and allowed us to enjoy our trip without worrying.”

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:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
