“This is Poki’s third stay with Monique and as always she was incredibly communicative, patient, and so sweet to our anxious boy. Monique is a pro at handling any and all challenges Poki may throw at her and we are truly grateful for her taking care of him so my husband and I can go on date night!”
“Coco had a wonderful stay with Yogita and Dibakar. They were very accommodating throughout the process and gave us regular updates that made us feel connected to our girl even though she was far away. Would definitely book again — Thank you!”
“Mahan took such great care of our girl, Twix, this weekend. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Twix was in such good hands. You can tell Mahan genuinely cares — we came home to a happy, well-looked-after doggy. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Maria is wonderful! She watched our dog for 5 days while we were away and sent many pictures and updates. Mipha came home happy and pooped! We are very grateful to have found someone so close by who can take such wonderful care of our dog!”
“It was Chester’s first time and he was very well taken care of. Pratheeksha updated us with texts and photos during the stay. She made sure he was comfortable and took extra time and effort to make sure he ate properly. Thank you for the love and care he was shown! Will definitely be rebooking again and highly recommend!”
“Kumudini has done an excellent and exceptional job taking care of Lily for a month. Lily was emotionally attached during her stay with Kumudini and the regular updates through photos and videos made us understand how she was well taken care of. Kumudini takes a keen interest to understand every minute detail of the pet that she cares for and helps them adapt very well with the surroundings. She is a genuine pet lover and pet mom who would go over and beyond to take care of the pets entrusted to her I and would highly recommend her for her services! Thank you so much Kumudini for taking care of Lily as a member of your family. We were lucky to have you to care for our darling girl!”
“This was our 3rd time leaving Teddy with Lauren. He stayed with her for 5 days. Teddy came back home very happy and Lauren kept us posted by sending regular pictures and videos. We would recommend Lauren anyday😊”
“Coco seemed to be very happy with Monica and enjoyed running around in her big yard. Monica was very easy to communicate with and responded to messages quickly. She sent photos and videos to keep us updated while we were away. I would highly recommend Monica as a pet sitter!”
“Truly nowhere else I would feel so comfortable leaving our girls. They're so excited to get out of their carriers and see Julia and whichever of their small dog friends are there too.”
“She take good care of Neal while we were away and always updated us every single while we’re on vacation. She is a Pro and I’m highly recommending her for doing a superb job. She will be on top of my list if we need one again in the future.”
“Samantha was fantastic with Hank—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was clear from the start that she’s incredibly knowledgeable and experienced with dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind when leaving our pup with someone for the first time!! We received plenty of text, photo, and video updates throughout the weekend, and it was obvious Hank was having the best time. He came home happy, relaxed, and tired—in the best way. Samantha also provided a crate and lots of toys, which made packing so much easier on our end. Highly recommend Samantha—we’ll absolutely be booking with her again! :)”
“Ankur and Krupa did an excellent job taking care of my dog! They communicated very well throughout the day and regularly sent me photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. When I picked up my dog, they also took the time to explain everything about his day, including what he ate, whether he pooped, and how he was doing overall. It was clear that they genuinely cared for him and paid close attention to his needs. I really appreciate their care, communication, and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Ankur and Krupa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!”
“Anchana did such an excellent job! We were especially grateful for her patience with Teddy seeing that he is a puppy and has occasional accidents. Plus, she went over and beyond and surpassed our expectations! She’s a keeper!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She and her family took great care of my one-year-old dog, who had never been boarded or stayed with other people before. I received daily updates, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear that he was well cared for. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“I can’t recommend Jeff enough! He was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. Luke was happy, well cared for, and relaxed when I returned. Jeff kept me updated and followed all instructions perfectly. Will 100% book again.”

Jesse had a great day with Monica. She is very close to a park and took him on multiple walks and her back yard is as big as a park itself! Jesse has never been left alone with strangers before but by the looks of the pictures Monica sent, he adjusted right away and was snuggled up on the couch. This was just a test run but we will definitely be relying on Monica in the future for overnight and week-long stays!
Yogita and Dibakar are lifesavers. They took care of my perfect pup in the best way possible. From catering to his fussy eating to being responsive on texts to accomodate changes and providing constant update. They are a breeze to work with and my number and only choice to board my pet. Thank you so much for doing this. Best regards
I had Siddharth take care of my dog, Prince, for a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he provided! He took such great care of Prince, making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. It gave me peace of mind knowing Prince was in such good hands. I really loved all the photos I was sent during his whole stay and I would definitely recommend Siddharth to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!
This is Poki’s third stay with Monique and as always she was incredibly communicative, patient, and so sweet to our anxious boy. Monique is a pro at handling any and all challenges Poki may throw at her and we are truly grateful for her taking care of him so my husband and I can go on date night!
We had the best experience with Liz & Paul. Our dog stayed with them for 7 nights, and we couldn't have asked for a more loving and caring home for her while we were away. Liz treated her like one of her own and provided daily updates and adorable photos showing she was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. This being the first time leaving her with anyone let us truly enjoy our vacation. When we picked her up, Oreo was happy and we could tell she was well taken care of. We are so grateful for the love and attention she gave Oreo. There is no hesitation on our part for a second to leave her with Liz again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter. Thank you, Liz, for taking such great care of our puppy!
This was the first time Darcy had been away from us overnight. Gaby was great with him. She sent lots of photos of him playing, going for a walk, and even watching a baseball game! I'm not totally sure he wanted to come home, and we had a worry-free vacation. Thanks, Gaby!
Mekah was an amazing pet sitter. She accommodated our last-minute request and was incredibly communicative before we even booked. Our usual sitter wasn’t available, so we had to find someone new on short notice. Mekah immediately stood out to me because of her warmth, and that impression was confirmed during our initial conversations. She scheduled a meet-and-greet, and she and our dog, Coco, clicked right away. We felt completely comfortable boarding Coco with her. Mekah also has a very sweet Golden Retriever, who made a wonderful companion for Coco while we were away. She followed all of our instructions to a T. Throughout the day, she sent thoughtful updates and always checked in before doing anything that was slightly outside of Coco’s usual routine; for example, giving her a different treat. We really appreciated how respectful and conscientious she was. I’m so grateful we found Mekah. Although this started as an emergency situation, I have no doubt we’ll be booking with her again in the future. She has proven herself to be trustworthy, reliable, caring, and someone who works with integrity. Thank you so much, Mekah, for taking such wonderful care of Coco. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Sarah was wonderful with cody! this was his first time staying in someone’s home instead of a pet hotel, so i was naturally nervous. she took the time to ask lots of questions beforehand so she could understand his routine and make him comfortable. throughout the stay, she kept me updated, sent photos, and was very honest about everything that happened—even the little challenges, which i really appreciated. communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear she genuinely cared about cody’s well-being. i’d definitely trust her with cody again. thank you so much, Sarah!
Siobhan (& her husband) were wonderful caretakers for my two big senior boys while we were away for a whole week! Her home is cozy, clean and has a perfect fenced in yard for them to play, relax and do their perimeter checks. Regular photos & updates as well as prompt, clear & friendly communication put me at ease leaving my fur babies behind and enjoying our time away. Not only that but I could tell that they also quickly felt comfortable and at ease in her care from the photos sent each day we were away! I will absolutely rebook next time we travel!
We had a wonderful experience with Denell! She took amazing care of Odin while we were away and treated him with love and affection. She spent time playing with him, keeping him and he looked absolutely thrilled in all the updates we received. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Thank you again for everything we highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Whitby 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 Whitby
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
