“My dog was with Caroline for 10 days. He was excited to see me, but was prepared to stay with her, where he has a vacation as good as mine. I love leaving him with Caroline, because I know he is not only safe and fed, but loved by Caroline and her own dog.”
“Thank you to Veronica and her family for sitting for our two dogs. We went on vacation without worrying for our dogs. Huge relief! We new they would find a second home. So happy we have found a reliable, caring and loving person to sit our dogs. We will see you soon!”
“Susan was great with communicating. When I picked up Rocky, he was happy. It would have been nice to see the place where he was boarded but all in all it was a good booking. I would use her again. Thanks Susan!”
“Hao went above and beyond our expectations making sure our dog was comfortable in his home for the first time. We had our dog stay overnight at his home. Our dog is border collie and normally very sensitive to new environments which can take him a while to settle in. His family was understanding of his needs and patiently worked with him to settle in and ensure he had an amazing stay. He kept us updated throughout the entire stay with how our dog was doing, while sending pictures and videos. We would highly recommend his home for anyone that’s looking for somewhere safe and nurturing for their dogs to stay”

“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!”
“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.”
“My dog Freya she is in good hands with Jingyi. I boarded Freya for 2 days and I asked Jingyi to update about Freya everyday so I feel she is safe with her. I will ask Jingyi again when I need someone to take care my Freya.”
“Thank you Lisa & her husband for taking amazing care of our dog. They gave regular updates, photos, and lots of love and attention, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog was so happy and excited when we came to pick him up—it’s clear they were in wonderful hands. I highly recommend Lisa & her husband to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!”

“Allan, Jess, and their two boys showered our Frenchie, Frankie, with love and affection from the very first moment of our meet and greet. They are knowledgeable dog people and asked all the right questions about Frankie’s needs and care. They sent updates while we were traveling and helped us stay connected with Frankie that way. We are so grateful and already have plans to coordinate boarding care again for another upcoming trip. Thank you, thank you!”
“Carol and Daniel were fantastic!! They took our dog Kylie on so many walks, daily photos and updates. She looked so happy and I know she had so much fun!! We will definitely ask Carol and Daniel to look after our dog again. We knew as soon as we met them that we liked them and that Kylie would too! Thanks so much for taking excellent care of our baby!”
“We were in a pinch and booked Mykyta purely based on reviews - we usually try to meet the sitters and walkers ahead of time but couldn't do it this time. Mykyta was awesome with Ollie and was so incredibly communicative and responsive. We felt totally at ease having Ollie stay with him even though we'd never met him, and we loved that Mykyta took Ollie to the park to run around when the weather was nice! When our flight got canceled, Mykyta once again helped us out and extended Ollie's stay without any issues. Thank you so much!!”
“We were SO lucky to have found Sam for Simba’s 4-day stay right before our trip! Sam and Matt are extremely caring and kind, and Simba loved them the second he met them! Their place is also super cute, and Simba felt at home instantly. You can tell that Sam and Matt genuinely care about the doggos - their love shows in how they play, cuddle, and spend time with the pups. Sam sent us regular updates, photos, and videos of Simba playing, relaxing, and getting all the cuddles in the world. He looked SO happy and comfortable, it gave us real peace of mind knowing how well taken care of he was. They played lots of fetch with him, took him on walks, followed his feeding schedule, and showered him with love and attention. He even got a report card at the end of his stay! We have a hard time leaving Simba with anyone, and it’s so nice to have someone trustworthy like Sam in the city. She truly is your pet’s new best friend, and we’re so lucky to have found her. Thank you, Sam!!!”

Kathryn was amazing! I booked her last minute, and she responded almost immediately, which I really appreciated. She took such great care of my dog, Aila, and kept me updated while we were away with messages and pictures, giving me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Aila was well cared for and happy. I would definitely book with Kathryn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
My first ever Rover sitting appointment was with Abisha for my Maltese. I was a little nervous about leaving my senior dog with a stranger and especially one with another dog but I was pleasantly surprised. Abisha is calm, sweet and confident. She was great with Gus, and she sent pictures of him out for a walk as well as relaxing and hanging out with her dog, Dream. It gave me peace of mind and comfort to use her services again. Great experience!
Niusha was amazing at taking care of our clingy boy Cuddles. He bonded with her so quickly which doesn't usually happen most times. He usually takes a while to warm up to people but with her he was comfortable immediately. You can tell she really took great care of him. She slept on her couch to stay with him because he wasn't yet sure about going upstairs on the first night. It's that kind of care that makes you feel assured your baby is safe with her.
Carol and Daniel took such great care of Canela! They sent us lots of beautiful pictures and frequent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that they spent plenty of time playing with her and taking her on walks because Canela came home happily exhausted. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving and reliable care for their furry family member. We will definitely be booking with them again!
Fabiola did a wonderful job taking care of my dog Picasso. She was friendly and professional and asked questions to ensure his comfort and happiness. She sent me updates and photos throughout his visit. I will definitely leave Picasso in her care in the future and highly recommend her 😊
We had a wonderful experience with the boarding service! Our dog, Shadow, was so happy and well cared for during his stay. It was clear that he received lots of love, attention, and exercise. We really appreciated the regular updates and could tell he felt comfortable and safe. Shadow came home relaxed, healthy, and happy—which says everything. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy home away from home for their dog. Thank you for taking such great care of Shadow!
Thank you, Pouneh, for taking such wonderful care of Remi on such short notice! I really appreciated the updates and photos you shared throughout her stay—they gave me so much peace of mind. Your love for animals is so evident, and it's clear you're passionate about making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Remi can be shy, anxious, and a little needy, but you were incredibly attentive to her unique needs and took the time to help her feel secure. The fact that you even let her sleep in your bed shows just how dedicated and compassionate you are. Thank you to you and your family for welcoming Remi with so much kindness and making her feel like part of the family. I would trust her with her again. ❤️
I can’t recommend Arya and Sal enough! They took such amazing care of Latte while we were away. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. Their communication was outstanding, they kept us updated with constant messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious from every update that Latte was being loved, spoiled, and treated like an absolute princess. Thank you both for caring for her as if she were your own. We are so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to leave Latte with you again. Highly, highly recommend!
Annette is truly the best dog sitter I could have asked for! ❤️From the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew she was in loving and capable hands. Annette cared for her as if she were her own, giving her so much love, attention, and affection every single day. She took my dog on so many fun excursions and made sure she stayed active, happy, and well cared for. It was clear that my dog wasn’t just being watched—she was having an amazing time. By the end of her stay, my dog had formed such a strong bond with Annette that she was genuinely sad to leave her, which says everything about the love and care she received. I couldn’t recommend Annette more highly. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, she’s the one. Thank you, Annette, for taking such incredible care of my girl—we’ll definitely be back!
Our dog had an amazing time at Céline's. It was obvious from the moment we arrived to our meet & greet how much thought and care she puts into the entire boarding process and experience, and ensuring compatibility with the other dogs. Her home truly is a doggy paradise. I've never seen Luna so excited to be dropped off at a sitter's, hah!! She sent us lots of cute updates and photos. This was a wonderful experience and Luna will definitely be back.
Riley had a great stay with Jingyi! She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages. She was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive with Riley, and was also very accommodating with our schedule for drop-off and pick-up. We really appreciate her kindness and professionalism, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
We had a wonderful experience with Ankita! She took excellent care of our little Luna 🐶 , keeping us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that our Luna was happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. We truly appreciate their kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. We would definitely recommend Ankita to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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:
- 82% 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.
