“Thank you Karen for having Charlie. She came home really happy. We also received lots of pictures during the day.. The whole family chipped in to care for Charlie and I thought that was wonderful. We were even a little late (15 minutes) picking Charlie up due to car trouble and Karen was so gracious about it. I would definitely leave Charlie with Karen again.”
“Amanda and her family took amazing care of Ripley while we were away! From the initial meet and greet to the boarding of Ripley, Amanda made the entire process smooth and a positive experience for Ripley and us.”
“I cannot recommend Barbara enough! Our dog is always very comfortable in her home. Barbara keeps us updated and takes wonderful care of Boudicca. Thank you Barbara!”
“Thank you James and your cute daughters for looking after Milo! You have made us feel so comfortable leaving Milo with you and we appreciate the updates and the wonderful pictures you sent. We will definitely be bringing Milo back for more stays.”
“Amy was amazing!! I can't say enough! Amy sent pictures regularly of our two dogs, Baby and Jack. Our dogs are both a bit older, 12 and 14 and Jack has some hearing and vision loss, however he looked totally content and happy with Amy. Baby also looked like she was very content, even sleeping under Amy' desk by her feet, just like Baby does at home with me. My husband and I felt very relaxed knowing our dogs were happy and content. This was our first time using Rover and so having our dogs with someone they don't know was a first for us but I am happy to say I would definitely have Amy watch them again when we travel in future. Thank you so much Amy! Janet and Barry”
“Jacky and Rocio were amazing. Our Bailey was well cared for and given lots of love. They sent us pictures and videos to keeping us updated on how her stay with them was going. We definitely will use them again. Highly recommend!”
“Luis was incredible with Ella, and was willing to take care of her on a last minute request. Ella and Blue got along really well and I was extremely happy to see all of the pictures and videos of Ella and Blue playing at the park and resting on the bench!! Luis was a great host, very nice, responded very quickly and he kept me updated daily with how Ella is doing would 100% recommend and definitely will bring Ella back again. Thank you Luis for taking great care of Ella.”
“We left our just over 1 y.o. toy yorkie with Maggie for a week (Nov17-24 2019). He has never been left anywhere before with anybody so I was abit nervous. But he was great over there. Maggie and her husband are great with the dogs. I was not worried. Maggie updated me about every other day by text ( I did not get any pictures updates though) about how my puppy was doing. I would def recommend her to anyone with my eyes closed. Her price is also very reasonable.”
“We had a great experience with Matthew watching our dog, Oakley. From the start, he was easy to communicate with, responsive, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Oakley in his care. Oakley can be energetic and needs a good amount of attention, and Matthew handled him wonderfully. He kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Oakley up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re very grateful for the excellent care Matthew provided and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Super easy going and accommodating to our needs. Really attentive and responsive, 100% confident in it being our pet’s second home. Thank you and I’m sure Tink looks forward to our next booking :)”
“Unfortunately our minder could no longer look after Watson so we turned to Rover. We read the reviews and Jeff was the first person we asked to meet. After meeting Jeff, we looked no further. We had a friend and his dog visiting when he came over and both dogs loved him! He truly is the "dog whisperer". When i dropped Watson off, he also met Jeffs partner who is lovely as well. Watson instantly recognized Jeff after the first short meeting they had a month ago. We love that he is the only dog there - Watson is old, fat and sometimes grumpy corgi Jack Russel who far prefers sitting with humans. Jeffs house is just like being at home for Watson - relaxing on the sofa. And they also picked him up to put him on and off the sofa and carrying up and down the stairs - just as we do. Oh and we got lots of photos! Made us feel so much better. We feel confident in going away for our longer trips now we have a safe and loving home for Watson.”
“Lihua was amazing with Leo, she was so caring and kind and provided regular updates on all key aspects of his day. I really appreciated her overall approach and will definitely connect with her again for Leo.”
About: I'm a home-based sitter who specializes in older, smaller dogs (30 lbs and under). I have a senior dog of my own, so I know that these pups don't need a kennel or a busy daycare. They need calm, comfort, and someone who notices the little things. Why owners trust me with their seniors: • I live alone with no kids, so your dog gets my undivided attention, not a chaotic house • I'm experienced with senior care: medications, eye and ear drops, mobility issues, special diets, you name it • Fully fenced backyard for gentle sniffing and sunbathing, plus walks at whatever pace your dog prefers • Daily photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing My own senior boy will happily be a friendly (or politely indifferent 😂) companion, and your dog is always welcome to do their own thing. Your pup will be treated like family here. I'd love to set up a free meet and greet so you can see the space and meet us both. Send me a message and tell me about your dog! I work full-time and am remote three days a week, which means I'm home and available to care for your pet on those days, plus weekends too I have a fully fenced yard, perfect for safe playtime and potty breaks. I also have a senior dog of my own, so I'm very experienced with the needs of older pups. I'm happy to help them up and down furniture if needed. If you'd prefer your pet be crated, I'm happy to accommodate that too, though just a heads-up that I don't currently have a crate in my home
“We have left our dog with Bob and Skip a few times now. He is always well looked after, and has a great time with the other dogs in the yard to the point that he is mad at us for taking him home :)”
“I don't even know where to begin. I had a family emergency and needed someone right away, Ethan was kind enough to accommodate. He goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is cared for just like his own. His dog Luffy gets along so well with other dogs. Ethan was so wonderful with updates on walks, play, nap, potty breaks and medication time. His videos and pictures are a wonderful touch and really make you feel your pet is loved and taken care of. Would highly recommend Ethan and will definitely be using his services again. Thank you so much Ethan.”
“Amit & Neha were amazing. They took real good care of our Kanna. Neha kept updating me on how Kanna was doing she was very easy to communicate with. I recommend anyone to book with them to have full satisfaction. I will always use Amit & Neha if we need to fly out. Great service and great people. Thank you both for taking care of Kanna as your own pet.”
“Our dog, Jasper, stayed with Claire for a full week, and this was his very first time away from home. Naturally, we were quite anxious about leaving him. Claire was honest, communicative, and incredibly attentive throughout his stay. She helped comfort our baby during the transition and kept us updated every step of the way with regular texts, photos, and updates. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing how well he was being cared for. We were extremely impressed with the level of love and attention Jasper received, and we will not be booking with anyone else going forward. Claire made our vacation even more enjoyable because we knew our boy was safe, happy, and loved. Thank you, Claire, for taking such wonderful care of Jasper!”

Dog owners who are anxious about leaving their beloved family member with a stranger can be reassured with Shannon. Shannon is professional, responsible, and communicates updates regularly. Her family (and dog Lulu) are all part of a caring team. We’ve left our Lab with Shannon for weekends and 2-week vacations and we were always very happy with the results.

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 Zimmerman 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 Zimmerman
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.
