“Fahlyn and Rain are incredibly sweet and helpful! I'm so blessed to have found them to take care of my puppy while I'm away. I can tell Croissant had a fun and cozy time with the picture updates 😊”
“Gail was awesome, taking care of our dog Wally in her home for 5 days and nights in March 2026. Wally was walked 3x per day, and we felt totally comfortable after an initial meet and greet that Wally would be in good hands while we went on vacation. Gail accommodated an early morning drop off so we could catch our flights. And we got lots of pictures while away which we loved. If you need someone to take care of your dog, and love them like you do, don’t hesitate to contact Gail !”
“Olivia is a very responsible girl, patient and with a lot of energy to share with Toffee (Lab 1 year) who demands a lot and with her was able to make new friends, go for a walk and even share with her kitten , She bring us feedback during the day about the activities with our dog. 100% recommended”
“We've never used Rover before, but Madison and Jeffrey have been extremely patient with us and our boy, who is 8 years old and shy with strangers. They send us pics and updates regularly, which is helpful when I worry a lot. They're open to working with our dog's schedule, taking him for walks and letting him have his(overly large) crate to chill out in if he prefers to be there. If you're hesitant about using Rover, reach out to Madison and Jeffrey because they go above and beyond!”
“Ruby loves staying with Melissa and Jasper! She always comes home a happy camper as do I, knowing she's so well looked after. I appreciate Melissa's regular communication and flexibility.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Yaxnitza was great with my puppy for the 8 days he was with her. She gave us regular updates on how he's doing. Her dog, Lily, was very friendly with my pup too. I would definitely leave him with her again.”
“Josue was an amazing person and he sent me updates anytime he could. The place was amazing and his family accepted my dog for the day like their own. My dog had a lot of fun. I will definitely take my dog there next time I’m in Waterloo area.”
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.
“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.”
“Patricia and her partner Andres are so sweet. I love receiving updates on my pups when I’m gone, and Patricia made sure to send me lots of photos. She’s very communicative, easy to work with, and followed instructions well. I will definitely use them again!”
“Danilo is an excellent pet sitter. He went above and beyond to make sure our sweet dog Mila felt welcomed in his place. He sent updates of her during her staying and shared beautiful pictures and videos of Mila and his adorable dog Nala. When it comes to selecting a pet sitter, I always try to make sure the person seems to enjoy being with Mila because if they enjoyed being with her, most likely the feeling was mutual. This was definitely the case with Danilo. He clearly had a great time with Mila and so did she. I will certainly have Danilo watching Mila again. If you are looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable pet sitter Danilo is your best bet!”
“Jayden rocks! Our 2 doodles spent 3 nights with Jayden and blended in so easily that they didn’t want to come back to our home! He treated Audrey and Josie as if they were his own family — above and beyond care with snuggles, walks, playtime and much more. Highly recommended. Thanks so much Jayden!”

Brittany was very flexible and great with Jade! She went above and beyond to keep Jade happy and comfortable and Jade settled in right away. Daily photo updates were amazing and put me at ease that Jade was in the best care. I strongly recommend using Brittany’s services, I will be back with Jade the next time I go away!!
We are new to Rover and feel soooo lucky to have found Allison! She was absolutely fantastic and our little schoodle was incredibly well cared for. Allison's care of Scoutie was truly exceptional. She is a true dog lover, that was so evident from the moment we met her. She is intuitive, she asked fantastic questions and our schnoodle was always her first priority. Allison was just the person we were looking for and we feel so happy! ( Yeah! We can now plan some trips knowing that everything will be just fine.) I am sure Scoutie well appreciated all the things she did for him, too - laying out his special blanket on her couch, putting his "alternative" dog bed beside him, chasing him inside, LOL, recovering his toys, helping him to negotiate the heat outside, preparing his food just the way he likes it, etc. Everything was just amazing and the next day we booked again! We feel truly blessed to have found such a great dogsitter. Oh, as well, our initial "meet and greet" the day before was a lovely experience. We all sat on the floor, chatting about dog care, and we left knowing we had found the right person. Allison has a lovely home for dog-sitting, including a backyard. Our little Scout loves his walks and her neighborhood is just perfect for that. Thank-you, Allison, for everything!
We had an excellent experience with Behnaz! We received regular updates and photos, which really gave us peace of mind. Johnny looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was prompt, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our Johnny.
We left our dog with Qi for 10 days and she is wonderful! Our dog is very attached to our family and can be anxious when staying away from us. Qi was very attentive, caring, and patient with her and provided us with many updates, pictures, and videos. She also made sure to give Molly her medication every night. I would 100% recommend Qi and will definitely use her again in the future! We are so grateful to her for taking such good care of our girl while we were away so we could enjoy our vacation!
Tulsi had a great and fun time with Rick and Sara! They took care of everything including meal times, specific nutrition requirements, gave us regular updates and pictures :-)!!! Rick and Sara have great pleasing personalities which put Tulsi at ease immediately. Thank you both ☺️❤️
We had a great experience boarding Uno overnight. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. Uno was well cared for, taken on walks to the park, and seemed happy and comfortable during his stay. The home environment felt safe and welcoming, and we really appreciated the attention and care given to him. We would definitely recommend this service and would be happy to book 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.
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!

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.
