“Eva is a wonderful, caring person. She took very good care of our puppy Oscar. She kept us up to date with photos and messages. We would use her services again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend Eva.”
“Sara and Rick were amazing dog sitters! They were very friendly, easy to communicate with, and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. I’d definitely trust them again!”
“Wenger and Changhe were worth the money. They sent us daily pictures and were generally concerned for Trigger's health and happiness. Definitely would use them again.”
“Saksham and his wife took great care of Coco! He was happy and comfortable the whole time. They kept in touch with regular updates and photos, and followed all instructions perfectly. I’ll definitely contact them again in the future!”
“This is our second time booking with Eden and Jacob. They are fantastic and we will definitely be using them as our primary choice for pet sitting in the future. I know our golden Toby had a great first time with them when he had the biggest excitement-butt-wiggles at seeing Eden the second time we dropped him off. They took great care of him even with his young pup energy. We highly recommend them if you are looking for a pet sitter!”
“Andres is the best!! I was unable to walk my dog for a week so he was completely riled up when I left him with Andres for the day. Andres took him for at least 4 one hour walks and when he came home he was finally calmer, even the day afterwards as well. Andres is really saving me as an overwhelmed dog parent! Thank you!!”
“Lexie had a wonderful visit with Sabrina and her family! She was fed, walked, cuddled and belly-rubbed to her heart’s content! Would definitely book with Sabrina again! Thank you ❤️🐶”
“Edward and his family are awesome. They took really good care of Tako while we had to be away and Tako loves them. Couldn't be more happy to have found a 2nd home and family that Tako (and us) love!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care our dog Charley received from Emma and Victoria. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure both Charley and we felt completely comfortable. We received daily updates along with so many wonderful pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every message that Charley was not only being well cared for, but truly loved. He was walked every day, given plenty of playtime, and showered with attention. One of our favorite parts was seeing that he made new friends and was having such a great time socializing. It honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation! We are beyond happy with the care he received and are so grateful to have found such kind and attentive caregivers. We will absolutely be using Emma and Victoria again to take care of Charley in the future. Highly, highly recommend!”
“So, so grateful for Jayson. He was so patient, kind and attentive to my 5 month old pup during his 4 night stay. He gave me lots of updates on the fun stuff they were doing which really eased my anxiety leaving him for the first time. He took Charlie to numerous parks and on lots of walks and made a model out of him on the many cute photos he sent me. Charlie had a great time with Jayson's on sweet Frenchie, Arnold. I cant reccomend Jayson enough....he's a true dog lover and it shows. 🩷🐾”
“My dog Chapo has been a repeat guest of Meng. She is. Great I loved seeing how excited Chapo got when he saw Meg at drop off. I hope to continue to use Meng in the future thank you again.”
“Ginger had the pleasure of staying with Cindy and Mark for a second time. She was well looked after and I can tell she misses them already. We would not hesitate to have them care for her in the future again.”
“Priyanka took great care of Moose while we were away for a week. She was very open to doing a meet & greet beforehand to make sure it was the right fit for everyone, which we really appreciated. She took the time to get to know Moose and understand his personality and energy level, which was especially helpful since he has quite a lot of energy! She kept him entertained with lots of games of fetch and made sure he felt right at home. She also sent us regular updates every day, along with lots of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. Moose came home happy, tired, and ready to crash! We’d be happy to have Priyanka look after Moose again and would definitely recommend her to other dog parents looking for someone caring and attentive.”
“Randi did an amazing job looking after my beagle Gus! She sent lots of pictures and updates of their adventures. I felt good knowing I left Gus with someone who really cared for him and made sure he was happy and felt loved. I will definitely bring Gus back to Randi in the future!”
“Our dog went to stay with Deborah-Lynn while my husband was recovering from surgery. She frequently checked in and gave us updates about how he was doing and what he was doing. Our dude seemed happy, engaged and well taken care of. She provided lots of mental and physical stimulation for the dogs. We look forward to his next visit!”
“We were initially really nervous to leave Frankie overnight since she’s only 13 weeks old and can be a handful but she was in such good hands with Adam and we felt super safe and secure leaving her after meeting him. Wonderful communication and photo updates of our pup, we would absolutely use Adam again for future daycare/boarding needs.”
“Can’t Thank her enough for her gentle care and warmth with my buddy, Berny…!!! She took utmost care of him whilst I was away for urgent trip, timely notifications and updates, which were perfect to see him enjoying…. THANK YOU AGAIN…!!”

Tucker was so well taken care of while we were away! Evelyn & Jithin were absolutely wonderful with him, and we could tell he had such a great time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. We’re so grateful and would happily have them look after Tucker again! 🐾❤️

We had a wonderful experience! Our dog came home happy and well looked after. We really appreciated all the vidoes, photos, and attention she received, and it looked like she was having so much fun! Communication was excellent, and coordinating drop-off and pick-up was so smooth and easy. We would definitely book again and highly recommend her! Thank you so much, Shannon, for taking such great care of our dog!
Priya took amazing care of Maloca, over the holiday. She was incredibly attentive and kept me updated throughout the stay with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best part was seeing how comfortable Maloca was with her. He came home happy, calm, and super relaxed, which says everything about the care and attention he received. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Priya again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Stefan took amazing care of our senior dog Charlie for a week and a half! I received a ton of pictures and videos of her walks, adventures, and daily activities with Stefan and Bumi. The communication was impeccable. Stefan was also very flexible and respectful of Charlie. For example, he messaged me when Charlie wasn't able to get into his car by herself to make sure it was okay to pick her up and help her in. He also made sure to come home from work at lunch time to let her go pee on the days he was in the office. I will definitely be booking with Stefan again next time we need to leave overnight for something. He clearly loves dogs so much and it was the most comfortable I've felt with someone else watching Charlie ever.
My golden retriever Aki stayed with Wei-Chien and her partner for a month and had such an amazing time that she was sad to leave! This was the best dog-sitting experience I have ever had, pick up and drop off went smoothly, Wei-Chien sent photo and video updates every day, and went above and beyond to ensure Aki was having the best time. Highly recommend and I will definitely use if I go away again!

Qi was so amazing. Our dog isn't always easy, and Qi took such great care of her while we were away on vacation for 7 days. I swear our dog was barely happy to see us when we went to pick her up lol. She wanted to stay with Qi lol I highly recommend Qi. She provides lots of updates, videos, pictures and is so reassuring.
We have used Daniella twice now, and we have had such a wonderful experience both times! She is very quick to respond, reliable, and so accommodating. She was flexible with an early drop-off and a later pick-up, which was incredibly helpful for us. Our dog absolutely loved her and was so happy and comfortable with her. She also kept us updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was doing well. We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future. We’re so happy we found her!
This was our first time using Rover, and with a 7 month old crazy aussie puppy too. Samantha was fantastic, spent all day with him and got constant photos and updates. We we're confident we didn't have to worry, and he will definitely be back next time we need a hand! Highly recommended as first time users with a puppy.
Olivia was very helpful and pleasant when we first met her during our meet and greet. She took great care of Koda for us while we were away for a week and kept us informed on how he was doing with pictures and texts. We would definitely recommend her for your pet and rebook with her if needed.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waterloo 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 Waterloo
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:
- 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
