“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.”
“They were so great with Kori. Love that they have a dedicated space for cats. I think Kori quite enjoyed her stay. I received regular photos and updates. Highly recommend for your cat boarding needs.”
“Meng is a lovely young women who took very good care of my little dog Ruby Tuesday. Ruby has a lot of trauma stemming from her past as a puppy mill breeder. She has settled nicely in my home but does not like change. Meng was able to connect with Ruby In ways that made her very comfortable away from her comfort zone in our home and to be with Meng in her home. Meng fed her on schedule, didn’t mind cutting up the vegetables that Ruby enjoys every day. Meng walked Ruby regularly. I am very pleased to,give Meng a 5 star rating.”
“We absolutely love when Saksham and Abhilasha take care of Butters. He loves them so much and is so comfy in their home. We never worry about him when we are away because we know he is having a great time and being extremely well taken care of. We get photos and updates every day so we never feel out of the loop.”
“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!!”
“I could tell that Coco had a great time here! I got regular photo updates, and I could tell that he was quite relaxed and happy there. He'll definitely be back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“This was my first experience leaving the most important member of our family. I want to extend my gratitude to Jayson. He has been a very kind person with my dog, sending pictures, schedules, and updates on how my dog was doing. He took care of my dog, and I feel that he did it just like I would have. Jayson is a gentle person with dogs; he connects very well with them, and you can sense that you can trust him. Thank you, Jayson, for taking care of Alma.”
“Emma was amazing with my fur babies Teddy is hard to please but he was smiling through the stay if Emma will watch them again I feel comfortable leaving them with Emma.”
“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.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular schedule, provide updates with photos, and ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. Safety, patience, and compassion are my top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of companionship. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member will feel comfortable and secure. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I’d give my own.
“Sabrina is a caring and responsive sitter. She listens carefully and her communication is thorough, timely and excellent. My dog loves her and always comes home happy. I recommend her most highly.”
“This was our first time boarding Stella, and I was nervous about leaving her. I needn't have worried! Deborah-Lynn was more than up to the task of dealing with our "firecracker"of a puppy! (That was Deborah-Lynn's perfect descriptor.) Stella had an absolute blast playing with the other dogs there. Deborah-Lynn made sure that they had LOTS of outdoor play time in her backyard, and she even convinced Stella to wear her booties in the frigid temperatures over the time of her stay. I also felt at ease leaving Stella in her care because of her knowledge and experience as a vet tech. Stella has many allergies and epilepsy, and Deborah-Lynn already knew how to handle both these conditions. I received tons of great photos of Stella while we were away as well as written updates and assurances that she was getting her medication on time. I would highly recommend Deborah-Lynn for anyone who needs a very attentive sitter who is up for the demands of a high energy dog!”
“We've boarded our dog with Cindy and Marc a few times now, and she absolutely loves it. They make her feel completely at home and pamper her so much that she arrives and leaves with her tail wagging every time. Their place is set up perfectly for dogs, and Cindy and Marc always go above and beyond to accommodate her needs and our schedule. The regular pictures and updates throughout her stay give us real peace of mind, knowing she's happy and well cared for while we're away. They're reliable, communicative, and genuinely love what they do. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”
“My dog(Willow) had a lot of fun and great time with Randi and her family for two weeks(Christmas and holiday season) while we were away. I am very thankful that Willow stayed with Randi. Thank you very much, Randi! We will see you soon or later for Willow again.”
“Gail is amazing! My 2.5-year-old husky came back happy, well cared for, and completely tired out after his stay. It was clear that her entire family helped take care of him, not just Gail, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him there. She provided regular photo updates and communicated very well throughout the stay. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Eden & Jacob were fantastic to deal with! Our pup was automatically comfortable with them as they are so warm and friendly. They even got dressed up and played with him in the snow!! They were great at communicating and sent photo updates to let us know how it was going. Definitely plan to book them in the future!”
“Yaxnitza kindly accepted a last-minute request to take care of our dog for the long weekend. She was a great communicator, friendly, sent pictures and videos each day, and made sure to follow our routines and care schedule. Our dog was happy being dropped off and picked up and we felt confident with the care she was given. A big back yard to run and play in was also a plus! Overall a great experience - thank you!!”
“It was the first time I used the sitter for my dog. We left our dog with Adam for four days. Adam is a great pet sitter! He is very friendly and communicative. I received the message about my dog every day, along with photos. My dog looked very relaxed and pleased during her stay. I highly recommend Adam for his service. I will leave my dog again with Adam whenever it is needed.”

This was our first time using the Rover app so I was a little nervous, but we couldn't have found a better sitter! Behnaz and Zelda instantly bonded and I was very comfortable leaving her in Behnaz's care. We received updates and pictures on how Zelda was settling in, and it helped make our week long vacation worry free. Thank you Behnaz!
Our boy Happy has stayed with Jason and his family for multiple short and long term stays this summer. Each time they have provided wonderful, loving care of Happy - with generous and frequent updates of his wellbeing and day to day activities. Jason has been extremely professional, communicative and flexible with our requests - even providing extended care when our flight was delayed. Happy loves walks and being near others and Jason has been accommodating his need with many long walks in the nearby parks, taking him along for outdoor events and couch cuddles. Thank you for taking care of our family while we were away! If we can give even more stars with our review we would
Thank you so much, Brittany. I went away on my holiday and felt Hazel was in the best chance possible. I know you are one of Hazel‘s best friends. Thank you for taking care of our house for leaving it. Clean and best of all caring for Hazel like she was your own. I very much appreciate the service separately provides.
Our dog came home very happy and well looked after. We really appreciated all the photos and attention she received, and it looked like she was having so much fun and was very comfortable! Communication was excellent, and coordinating drop-off and pick-up was so smooth and easy. Kevin was quite knowledgeable about dogs and had a good understanding of our dog as well. We'd definitely recommend him, and thank you so much, Meng and Kevin, for taking such great care of our dog!
We had such a great experience with Jing! She was wonderful with our dog Bubble and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was reliable, attentive and caring. We really appreciated she took great care of Bubble while we were away. We would definitely love to have Bubble spend time with Jing again!
Qi.C was wonderful with our mini dachshund! We were away for six days and she kept us updated the whole time with photos, videos and little messages, which we really appreciated. It was so nice to be able to see how he was doing and know he was happy and well taken care of. We had a great experience with her and would definitely have her watch him 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!

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.
