“Rie was an awesome host, she took amazing care of my two dogs. So much so i think they were sad to leave. Rie is very supportive and caring to my dogs. Would have my dogs stay again.”
“Caroline provided our Henny with the best care. Lots of great updates and easy to communicate with. It feels like Henny had a great vacation of his own with his new friend Oisin. We will book again!!”
“We left our dog Cheeto with Yanfei for almost 2 weeks while we went on vacation and he had the best time with Kyle! As always, Yanfei was responsive, sent frequent updates (both photo and video) and took care of Cheeto as if he was her own. We are SO appreciative and thankful we found someone so kind and caring! Cheeto is excited for his next play date!”
“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She took amazing care of my dog, Amber, while I was away for a 3-week vacation. It was a long stay, but Maria gave me complete peace of mind the entire time. She’s incredibly diligent and attentive, making sure to accommodate all of Amber’s (admittedly high-maintenance!) needs. Maria truly spoiled Amber and treated her like one of her own - she’s a true dog mom at heart. She also made sure Amber had plenty of playtime and activities to keep her engaged and feeling right at home. Amber bonded so well with Maria and her family, which really shows how much they cared for and loved her. I also really appreciated the regular updates - Maria sent plenty of photos and videos, which always made me smile. From now on, Maria will definitely be my go-to dog sitter. She’s the best! 🐾”
“Our meet and greet went very smoothly, and Filli appeared very happy in his photos. When he returned, he also seemed to have enjoyed his stay with Fabiola. Thank you very much!”
“Susan and her mother were really nice. From the beginning, they were genuinely interested in understanding all of Canela’s needs. They were so lovely with her and sent regular updates with pictures. We really appreciate their help and highly recommend Susan and her family to take care of your furry friends!”
“Communicative, easy to coordinate with. My dog seems happy and I got one of my favorite picture of him during his stay. Cute pictures really make the difference for me 😂”
“Carol and Daniel were absolutely amazing! Their communication was great with lovely updates and pictures of my pups stay with them. They were excellent caregivers and took the time for a quick meeting before our stay with them so my pup could be more comfortable. They are truly awesome and so very kind! Highly recommend using them for your pups care!”
“Teruko took awesome care of our dog and gave great daily updates. It was evident that our dog enjoyed her stay with Teruko! We would definitely recommend book with her again!”
“My Freya looked so happy in the pics Giancarlo shared during her boarding in North York. She was well cared for and taken on frequent walks. She came home in great spirits. I would recommend him and Roberta in a heartbeat. This was my first experience using Rover too. Delighted that it went well.”
“A good sitter is responsive, caring and honest. All three traits that Sam possesses. From the meet up to the drop off,to pick up, it has been a seamless process with Sam. I have recently moved to a new neighborhood and was nervous leaving Luna behind but Sam took such great care of her. I got lots of pictures and regular updates. I could see in the pictures that Luna had made herself at home. Luna had a paw flare up while I was away Sam kept a close eye on it and also bandaged it to stop Luna from gnawing at it. I had peace of mind thanks to Sam and I have already booked Sam for Luna's next sit”
“Jessica and Allan are wonderful and took great care of my dog! Responsive, responsible, and sent really nice updates throughout his stay. Would book again in a heartbeat, thank you!”
“Jackson was so so good with Tux. He was open to letting Tux and Lego meet a couple of times before boarding, sent me so many photos and videos of my boy, and helped ease my anxieties. Tux was a happy tired boy when he came home! I will definitely be booking him here again :)”
“I barely ever board my dog, and was very very pleased with the care that Carolina and Enuar gave Hades. They gave me daily updates, reached out for clarifications in any moments of uncertainty about his care, and had my little guy happy and very well taken care of. I picked up a happy boy who seemed to like like he had been away at a summer camp!”
“Lisa is a phenomenal care provider. She took excellent care of Nunu and i would highly recommend her. I have finally found a great dog care provider for Nunu and i hope she's around for a while cause i plan to definitely use her services again.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how genuinely affectionate and caring they are with animals. They took such wonderful care of our dog, treating them like family and making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We received updates that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It's obvious they truly love what they do, and we are so grateful for the exceptional care they provided. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated pet sitter!”
“I would like to take a moment and thank-you for taking such a good care of cosmo. I knew from your calm demeanour and gentle persuasion that you would be great care taker. We would love to rebook your services in future as per your availability. Keep up the good work, remember it makes a huge and valuable contribution to others and people like you deserve much more of appreciation. With love from us.”
“Maud was an excellent sitter for our high energy puppy Chaaru! She and her family made Chaaru feel welcome, and she came home after her 5-day stay completely pooped from all the fun she had! I also appreciated the daily photos and updates. Would definitely book again!”

There aren’t enough words to describe how lovely Celine is, so I’ll just add to the overwhelming positive reviews by adding another 5 stars. Celine’s home is a doggie paradise, and she clearly treats every dog with the love and care they deserve (which is a lot!) Super communicative and makes an anxious dog mom like me less anxious with really consistent and reassuring updates. A true professional in every way, integrates dogs super well together, and very mindful of their emotions, needs, and triggers. A++++, Bolt already can’t wait to go back!
I had a wonderful experience with this pet sitter! They took excellent care of my pet and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my pet was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They were reliable, kind, and attentive to every detail. I truly appreciate the love and care they showed, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
She is such a sweet lady! She truly cared for my dog and treated them with so much love. She kept me updated regularly with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly kind, patient, and understanding throughout the entire stay. I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver. Thank you so much!
We had such a wonderful experience with our sitter! Our Chow Chow stayed with them for 4 nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. They prepared a very detailed routine document for our Chow Chow and followed her routine so carefully. It really showed how much they cared about making him feel comfortable and keeping his usual schedule. They also have the sweetest, most loving cat, and it was so nice seeing them together! 🐱❤️ Every day, they sent us videos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We were able to truly enjoy our trip knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend them and will definitely come back next time we need a sitter! 🐶💕
This is our second time leaving Kylie (dog) with Carol and Daniel. She went on some nice walks, and even a morning run! She always had a big smile on her face in the regular updates! Thanks again for taking such great care of our number one fur baby!! Until next time!
Thank you so much to Claudia, her sweet daughter Mia and Dizzy her very friendly corgi. Picasso is a senior dog and requires extra care and attention which was provided from the moment I dropped him off. I was given updates and pictures throughout his stay. He was treated like a part of the family which I truly appreciate. An amazing experience from start to finish.
I only board my girl with Ilana and Lambros. Ava stayed in their care for two weeks while I was away, and Ilana kept me updated throughout her stay with photos and messages. She was also available if I had any questions or concerns. When I picked up Ava, she was happy and cared for. Ilana and Lambros are highly reliable, caring sitters, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you both for taking such great care of Ava!
Petra took very good care of Thor and Thor enjoyed his stay with her! We received lots of pictures, videos and regular updates and we could see he’s in good hands. It’s was the hottest days of the year and air was polluted with wild fire . Petra ensured Thor doesn’t get exposed by doing short walks. Thank you! We would definitely choose Petra again.
Yaesul and Hyunjun were absolutely amazing with our senior dog, Duke! From the moment we dropped him off, they made him feel so welcome and comfortable. They were incredibly communicative throughout his entire stay, sending us daily photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. The biggest sign of how happy Duke was came on the second day when he started doing his signature comfort “cuddle” between their legs which showed us that he felt comfortable and safe. When we picked him up, he didn’t even seem to care about leaving their house to come home with us 😂. As funny as it was, it showed us just how loved and well cared for he was. We feel so grateful to have met Yaesul and Hyunjun and trust them completely with our boy. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with them again whenever Duke needs a sitter. Thank you both for giving Duke such an amazing first boarding experience! we couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters 🥹❤️
We highly recommend Tracy and Ron! They have taken care of our French Bulldog many times while we’re away traveling, and we always have complete peace of mind. They provide regular updates with lots of pictures, are incredibly attentive to our dog’s needs, and are always friendly, reliable, and on time for drop-offs and pick-ups. Our Frenchie absolutely loves them, and it’s clear they genuinely care for every dog they look after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Willowdale 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 Willowdale
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:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
