“I had the absolute pleasure of leaving my puppy Charlie in the care of Ilana and Lambros, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. Ilana and Lambros not only provided excellent care but also kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease. Their entire family, including their kids and their own dog, made Charlie feel right at home. It was evident that he was not just a guest but a part of their family during his stay. The care and attention they provided were exceptional, and it was clear that they genuinely love dogs. Charlie had a blast during his time with them, and seeing the photos of him playing and cuddling with their dog and kids warmed my heart. I would not hesitate for a moment to choose Ilana and Lambros again whenever I need someone to look after Charlie. They exceeded my expectations in every way possible, and I am so grateful to have found such wonderful dogsitters.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Willowdale
Hoi Ying is an amazing dog sitter; being a veterinary nurse she has lot of experience with all kinds of animals l. She is extremely observant of the pet’s needs and would go above and beyond her responsibilities to make the pet comfortable. Harley came back very happy after his 5 day stay with her. I would definitely recommend her and I’m sure Harley would too.
A huge thank to Susan for taking such great care of Luna while we were away Susan was always in touch and sent us lots of updates and photos from their walks, playtime, and throughout the day, which made us feel very comfortable knowing Luna was doing well. Luna felt completely at ease with her — she wasn’t stressed, ate normally, and seemed very happy. We picked her up in great condition and could immediately tell that she had been well cared for. And judging by the look in her eyes, Susan definitely spoiled her with lots of playtime — now Luna expects the same level of entertainment from us 😂 Thank you so much again, Susan! We’re very happy with the experience and will definitely bring Luna to you again
Giancarlo was excellent! They are incredibly kind and you can tell they truly love dogs. They were great with communication, sent updates and pictures, are were incredibly accommodating. Our dog is a lot of energy and a Velcro girl which can be a handful but they did amazingly.
I had a wonderful experience with Roe taking care of my dog, Pamo, for 20 days. She took such great care of him and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Throughout the entire stay, Roe regularly sent me photos and updates, which I really appreciated and looked forward to seeing. It was clear that Pamo was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. Roe is responsible, caring and attentive. Being away from your dog for three weeks can be difficult, but knowing Pamo was in such good hands made it so much easier. I am very satisfied with the care Roe provided and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to care for their dog. Thank you so much, Roe!
Melissa and her family took great care of Kiwi and we would be happy to leave him with them again! Melissa is responsive and sent frequent updates and pictures to us during his stay, which was very much appreciated. Kiwi was clearly adored by everyone in the family, especially by Melissa’s two sweet and caring daughters who made sure that he got lots of play time 😄 We’re glad to have found such a lovely family to help care for our pup when we’re away.
Chunyi was a wonderful caregiver for my dog Stella. I received regular updates with photos and videos showing lots of activity and even field trips! Stella seemed to get along well with Copper and she appeared quite content. She came home happy and had been clearly well cared for. I would definitely ask Chunyi to care for Stella in the future.
Fabiola kept us updated with pics . She was very flexible when our schedule made us late to drop our dog . Clearly our kid dog was happy with her and beautiful pup . I think he miss her right once he was home. We will definitely contact her in the future, we are very has d grateful to have found a true animal lover to look after our dog. Thank you!!
We had such a great experience with Carvin! He accepted our booking on very short notice and was incredibly responsive throughout. He took such good care of Cosmo and was proactive about asking about his needs and routine. We really appreciated the regular updates—it was reassuring knowing Cosmo was in good hands. He even shared some helpful tips with us for handling Cosmo. Loved the experience from start to finish and would highly recommend Carvin!
Tianshi is amazing!! I went away for three weeks and left my dog with him. He is very responsible, and has great communication. He sent videos and pictures without me having to ask. I could tell my dog was very happy and comfortable with him!! He is the reason I wasn’t worried about my dog and got to enjoy my trip!! When I picked up my dog I could tell he was well cared for! He was also super accommodating when I was having issues with the app. I highly recommend Tianshi!
I couldn’t be happier with Ting & Shiu's help! From the very beginning, they were friendly, caring, and incredibly attentive. Mickey came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had an amazing time. It’s such a relief knowing Mickey is in good hands while I am away. I received regular updates and could tell Mickey was getting lots of love, attention, and care. The whole experience was smooth and stress free. Highly recommend Ting & Shiu to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their furry family member. I will definitely be using their A+++ service again! 🐶❤️
We left our dog Rosie with Gil and Bayla recently when we went on vacation. They were wonderful with Rosie, took great care of her, and communicated with us on a daily basis with photos, questions and updates. We felt confident that Rosie was in great hands and were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying. We will definitely use their service again in the future. Thank you Gil and Bayla!
I had a great experience with Majid! They took wonderful care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog seemed very happy and comfortable when I picked her up, and it was clear she received lots of attention and care.
I can’t thank them enough! My dog is extremely timid and terrified of anyone outside our family, usually barking endlessly around strangers and other dogs. I had never even considered using a pet sitter before. However, I had an unavoidable trip and had to leave my dog for the very first time. To my absolute surprise, my dog warmed up from day one! Every day, I received detailed updates, messages, and over a dozen photos and videos. Watching the videos, I could clearly see just how comfortable and relaxed my dog was. It was so obvious that they truly love dogs and cared for mine with genuine love and attention. I am beyond grateful..💓

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
- 88% 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.
