“Milana did an excellent job caring for my dog. She was responsible, communicative, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. It was clear she truly cares about animals, and my dog felt comfortable and happy with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Millana again and highly recommend her services.”
“Shannon watched our dog Riley while we were away for a family trip. We got frequent pictures and videos and we could tell she was having a great time! It makes it easier to go on a vacation knowing Riley is well cared for. :) Very happy pup!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful to Maddison and Jeffery for the incredible care they gave our dog. From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in the best hands. They treated her like she was part of their own family—showered her with love, attention, and all the belly rubs she could ask for! It’s never easy leaving your dog behind, but knowing she was with people who genuinely cared for her made all the difference. Maddison and Jeffery went above and beyond, keeping us updated and making sure she felt completely at home. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly adored her time with them. Thank you, Maddison and Jeffery, for being such wonderful caregivers. We can’t recommend you enough!”
“Melissa is a wonderful dog-sitter. Our dog, who is usually quite nervous in new situations, is very happy going to Melissa's and staying there. Melissa responds to requests and texts really fast and is on top of all the details. We have already booked our dog's next stay with her!”
“Olivia cared for our puppy Max for a week while we were away and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience. The communication and updates were outstanding. Our drop off and pick up times needed to be a bit flexible and she was extremely accommodating. This is the first time we've ever left a pet with someone and it was very comforting knowing he was in good hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of family dog and neighbors dog for 5 years. I have experience taking care of small to medium dogs and can train basic skills for puppies. My job has a flexible hours schedule and I can work from home. Therefore I can accommodate any hours needed by the customer and their dog. I do not have pets in my home currently, so the client’s dog will be the only pet in the home. I’ll make sure their dogs feel comfortable here.
“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…!!”
“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.”
“Bo was taken care of with the upmost kindness and professionalism. I was concerned leaving him for the first time however he felt right at home and settled in quickly. Jana also sent me regular updates of their fun outings! I would definitely recommend Jana for your pet!”
“Josue and his family were amazing in taking care of Aspen. They were also very considerate and flexible during pick-up/drop-off. We received continuous updates and Aspen had a great time with their dog as well. Would definitely recommend Josue to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Howl had another wonderful stay at Fiona and Dale’s! He stayed for multiple nights and had a great time playing with the other pups :) Fiona sent daily updates with videos and photos! Thank you again for loving our boy! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Third stay with Yani. Constant updates and pictures everyday, very accommodating and understanding, and very professional and talented. Thanks Yani! Oreo loves you.”
“Our dog Griffey had a wonderful week's stay with Janine. He got lots of outdoor play, walks every day, and a ton of attention, which he adores. I appreciated the daily updates and could tell that he was in good hands the whole time. We won't hesitate to leave our pup with Janine again.”
“We needed a last minute sitter and lucked out with getting Shubham to look after Oakley for 2 nights! He communicated with us, consistently kept us updated with tons of pictures of Oakley, brought him on walks, and even provided him with a new toy. Oakley looked like he was having so much fun and was completely tired out when we got home. We felt really comfortable leaving him with Shubham! We highly recommend him and will definitely be reaching out to him for our future dog boarding needs whenever we visit the waterloo/kitchener area :)”
“Alexandra took amazing care of our dog over the weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and walks, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You can tell Alexandra genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Communication was great from start to finish, and she made the whole process feel easy and comfortable. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Alysha and her family were such gracious hosts! She accepted a last minute booking, kept me up to date and accommodated last minute changes. I would absolutely recommend having your fur friend stay with her, I know I will be rebooking again in the future! :)”

Olívia, was available at short notice and she found a place for my puppy Charlie. She kept me posted about him and gave Charlie an amazing time for the 2 days he stayed with her. You can tell be brief moment when I met her that she is a dog lover. She is definitely my first option in town to take care of Charlie when I need.
We couldn't be happier with the care Missy received! It was obvious from the start that she was loved and treated like part of the family. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Missy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to know we have someone we can completely trust with our pup. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Missy!
Bo was taken care of with the upmost kindness and professionalism. I was concerned leaving him for the first time however he felt right at home and settled in quickly. Jana also sent me regular updates of their fun outings! I would definitely recommend Jana for your pet!
Chutney had a wonderful stay with Huang and her family! It was clear he was treated like part of the family and had a lot of fun with the sitter’s dog and young children. Photos and videos were provided throughout the day, so it was reassuring to know he was well looked after and enjoying every minute. Thank you for giving Chutney such a great experience!
Olivia was amazing! She boarded my dog, Xena, in her home for 2 weeks while I was out of the country and Xena had the best time. Olivia made sure to update me with photos and kept in touch so I knew Xena was in good hands. She made sure to make Xena feel comfortable as she settled into a new environment and during her stay. Will definitely book with her again! Xena has a new bestie!
Our dog Sunny has been going to Ashley's for day care for several months and recently boarded with her for a couple of nights. We couldn't be happier! Ashley is super reliable, accommodating, and very understanding of our anxious pup. She's a true dog whisperer! Thank you so much, Ashley! Your help has been a game changer for us and we so appreciate everything you do.
We had a great experience with Shubham! He and his wife were incredibly kind and accommodating especially with our somewhat reactive and high energy pup. He made us feel at ease, and was always providing us updates and photos. We really appreciated his patience and flexibility. Highly recommend!
Hi, Judy was great. Our dog Maddie is 14 years old and did struggle with anxiety separation when first left with Judy. This made Maddie physically sick but Judy persevered instead of asking us to return and pick-up Maddie. Since the reason Judy was looking after Maddie was so we could be at our daughters wedding it was crucial that we felt Maddie was being cared for properly. Judy went above and beyond provided updates and pictures so that we could enjoy this incredibly special day. The wedding was absolutely perfect and Judy played a very important role in making it so. Thanks so much, Luc
Zoey had an amazing stay with Jayson . He took her to Waterloo Park, Victoria Park and a park in Guelph. She stayed for Saturday and Sunday and already visited 3 parks🥰. He took care of all her routine on time as well. He went above and beyond and shared us photos of eating, her visit to park and eating.🥰 Zoey got all the attention with Jayson and also had amazing time with his dog Arnold. We are definitely rebooking him soon for Zoey’s stay. ⭐️
Christy was great! Responded promptly to our initial inquiry and we were able to meet and greet within a few hours. Our small toy poodle, Ele, was able to relax at Christy’s home a few days later to help us out. Christy sent photos during Ele’s stay to assure us that everything went smoothly. We informed Christy that we could return a few minutes after our booking time and she agreed to be flexible. We would not hesitate to book with Christy in the future!
I am so impressed with the level of care that my Bella received, she was well taken care of and taken on walks and got to interact with other dogs. She sent me updates and video clips of Bella and that put me at ease . Bella is also walking better now, not pulling , I dont know how she did it, but she taught Bella to walk nice over her short visit. Amazing care giver, I will definitely be back again and againl.
My Beagle is always happy and well cared for with Jessie and her two friendly dogs. I am confident Molly will be allowed to play outside, have Jessie with her during the whole boarding in her house. Molly loves to come here. I highly recommend Jessie's services. I have booked ahead for the next time I am away .Thx Jessie!

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 pet, 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
