Our dog has some age-related needs, and Kristina handled everything with patience and genuine care. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

“It was our first time using Rover. Clara and Anselmo seemed like a great fit for our husky Tika! They were flexible to accommodate our schedules and accepted a last minute booking for the following week. Daily updates and photos gave us reassurance, while we do follow the “no news is good news” motto. Tika made friends with Kikko the boxer and Wasabi the cat! Will definitely look to rebook with them again.”
“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.”

Flicka came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely trust them with her again. Highly recommended! 😀 Penelope et Maxime se sont très bien occupés de Flicka pendant son séjour. Ils ont été attentionnés, fiables et nous ont bien tenus au courant tout au long de la fin de semaine, ce qui nous a vraiment rassurés. Flicka est revenue heureuse et en pleine forme. Nous n’hésiterons pas à leur confier Flicka de nouveau. Nous les recommandons sans hésitation 😀”

She handled the situation calmly, responsibly, and with great care, keeping me updated so I never felt 100% worried. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I’m very grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Luna again. Highly recommended!”

“Tanya is great!!! I would recommend 100%! She was amazing with our Cockapoo who has separation anxiety. Our dog Bella was even sitting on her lap and enjoying herself. Our dog was not comfortable at the kennel and would even try to bite the workers there out of fear. I was very hesitant that she would do well with a sitter. Tanya reassured me that our dog would be ok and sent pictures and updates often. I was happy to see Bella smiling and looking relaxed!! What a relief to go away and not worry! We will be returning for sure.”
“Lynda is absolutely terrific caring for Phoebe, 1yr JRT Phoebe always comes home exhausted She invests lots of her time playing with the dogs she has in her care. Large safe fenced yard, plenty of room for the pups to play. Lynda provides pictures and video of the pups in her care. Very flexible with drop off and pick up times”

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 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.
