âJosĂŠe 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! â¤ď¸đđŠľâ

âWe left our sweet Janna with Ben for 12 days â the longest weâve 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 â you could tell she had been spoiled in all the best ways. Honestly, when she hears Benâs name now, she perks right up⌠I think she may have adopted him as her second favourite human! We couldnât have asked for a better sitter. Ben has officially become Jannaâs âhome away from home,â and he will be our first choice every time we travel. Highly, highly recommended â 10/10 experience. â¤ď¸đžâ

âMelody and Scott were great with Pumpkin! They sent me so many pictures and spoiled her with affection. I appreciated their communication and that Pumpkin was comfortable and well loved!â

âElla took really good care of our Yorkshire for 10 days, sent pictures et gave us regular updates. She was also very flexible to drop him off. We will certainly use Ellaâs services againâ

âMy dog Billy stayed with Lucas and Thyara for 5 days in their beautiful home. Lucas and Thyara are very friendly. They were very welcoming to Billy. They are very caring couple, they wanted to know all about him. They sent me pictures every day, I liked that. I can tell he enjoyed his stay. I would give them my highest recommendation. Thank you Luke and Thyara !â

âKristina a bien pris soin de notre ti-Loup. Elle nous a envoyĂŠ des photos et ĂŠtait rĂŠactive Ă nos messages. Nous ĂŠtions en confiance. Ti-Loup ĂŠtait clairement bien heureux!â

âQianzhi is an incredible dog sitter! She was super responsive, kind, took wonderful care of our high energy pup, and sent lots of wonderful photos and videos while we were away for 5 days. I canât recommend her enough! Will definitely book again.â

âClara and Elmo were very responsive to all my questions. They provided information about Adamâs time at their place which made me feel very yet. I will definitely send Adam over for more sleepovers!â


âPenelope and Maxime took great care of Flicka during her stay. They were kind, reliable, and kept us well informed throughout the weekend, giving us complete peace of mind. Flicka came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely trust them with her again. Highly recommended! đ Penelope et Maxime se sont très bien occupĂŠs de Flicka pendant son sĂŠjour. Ils ont ĂŠtĂŠ attentionnĂŠs, fiables et nous ont bien tenus au courant tout au long de la fin de semaine, ce qui nous a vraiment rassurĂŠs. Flicka est revenue heureuse et en pleine forme. Nous nâhĂŠsiterons pas Ă leur confier Flicka de nouveau. Nous les recommandons sans hĂŠsitation đâ

âSanjana was great with Beau! She was attentive to all the details that we shared about him and kept us updated throughout our trip regarding his day and eating habits. She was also very responsive and quick to schedule a meet and greet and confirm the booking, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Overall, would recommend her and would definitely come back to her whenever we need someone to take care of our dog when weâre away.â

âJustyne is absolutely amazing with our 12 yo Chinook! He had to spend the weekend with her just after his âbrotherâ 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! đâ

âKelly and her son were great with my dog. They sent me pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. This was my first time using Rover and Kelly was the perfect fit for me. I felt confident with her right away. Thank you!â

âShanice was very accommodating with my catâs needs. She made sure that he had a comfortable and quiet place where he had access to everything he needs. She was also a very sweet person, and I would definitely book with her again.â

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. Iâve spent over 3 years working in a veterinary clinic, where Iâve supported pets with all kinds of personalities, medical needs and routines. Iâm 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 youâre 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 weâre 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 youâre away. Your petâs 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. Weâre 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 petâs routine closely and creating a stress-free, secure environment where they feel at home.
âSure! Hereâs a polished review for Andrea Giselle: âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ We had a fantastic experience with Andrea Giselle as our dog sitter! From the start, she made us feel completely at ease about leaving our beloved pet, Keke, in her care. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely loving toward him. We especially appreciated the regular updates on his daily activities, which reassured us that he was happy and well cared for. Itâs clear that Andrea has a true passion for animals, and we wouldnât hesitate to trust her with Keke again in the future. Highly recommend! Romy & Andreâs Ruizâ

âAs always, Lynda was an amazing pack leader and is the most nurturing, and stimulating dog lover / caretaker. There are only great things to say about her care. Thank you Lynda!â

âTanya was awesome as we were a last minute booking. In Ottawa for our sonâs wedding we quickly realized our senior dog needed company the night of the wedding and used Rover for the first time. How lucky we are to have found Tanya and have a great experience. Our dog had a sleepover with her and her fur babies and wasnât lonely one second! And we were able to enjoy the wedding stress free knowing he was well taken care of. Thank you Tanya!â

âMiaozi provided wonderful care for our dogs. She is a very kind, caring and capable person and our dogs were exceptionally well cared for ! Will definitely request her services in the future :)â

âSylvie is just amazing with needle. She loves needle and vice versa. She never missed to update me with needle pictures and status, which makes my stay away from needle pleasant and peaceful.â

Meghan was amazing with our family dog! This was his very first time away and we had some reservations. Meghan responded to all our questions, concerns, and our guidance with confidence, offering us much reassurance. Our pup really enjoyed his time at her lovely place and she sent daily updates and photos of our dog with his new friends to put our hearts at ease on our vacation. We feel very blessed to have discovered her services and will definitely be back!

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 dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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.
