“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“I can't say enough great things about our experiences with Jennifer. I've left my dog Peachy with her 3 times now, this last time being over a week. I got so many picture and video updates throughout and I could see how comfortable and happy my Peachy was. Jennifer and her daughter are so wonderful with her and I am very grateful to have found them. The peace of mind I have now while I'm away that my dog is well cared for is worth so much. Also, Jennifer was highly communicative and very flexible when my schedule needed to change last minute. I won't leave Peachy with anyone else now!!”
“It was my first time using Rover and leaving our precious fur baby with anyone. Yajaira was great from the meet and greet to the day of pick up . She answered all my questions, send pics during my pup’s boarding time and had him ready to go at pick up ! Definitely a 5 star ! We will be using her again !”
“Chestnut had a wonderful experience. I appreciated Lilliana sending me daily pictures of Chestnut so my daughters could see him enjoying his stay. Thank you again Lilliana for taking such great care of chestnut.”
“Pixie had a wonderful time with Addie and her family! They were very accommodating with our schedule, gave her plenty of opportunity to play and stay active with their own dogs and neighborhood walks; she came home tired and happy. We will definitely board Pixie with Addie and her family again.”
“Jill and her family were terrific with our Benji. All around fantastic experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Will definitely be using their services again.”
“This was my first time using Rover. I've always left my dog (14 yr old Maltese) with family when I go on trips, but things came up and we needed someone to take care of our dog for a weekend. I was so worried. I did a meet and greet with Erika and she put me at ease, so we booked right away. She has a spacious area for dogs to lounge and feel at home. And honestly, Erika just gets it. She's super understanding, responsive, thorough, and caring. She provided updates via messages and was flexible. My dog was very well taken care of and he seemed happy and comfortable. And I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my dog was okay. I'd recommend Erika to anyone needing a dog sitter. I'll definitely book with Erika again. Thank you Erika, we're so grateful!”
“Fiona watched my dog Cal for the first time as a boarder in her home. Cal loves being there and it went very well , she was able to read his emotions and react proactively to keep him content which means a lot to me and my sometimes anxious dog. A true pro and I will be using her services again soon. And Cal gets excited every time we pull up to her home ! Thank you Fiona !”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up. Over the past 20 years I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, turtles, snakes, and hamsters. I love animals more than most humans. My sister is also a vet which is super handy to have. I currently work from home so I can be present and then I have down time I can play and tend to my furry house guest. I have a room for my dogs with a very bring crate, beds and toys. When I have furry guests I can always alternate my dogs in the room or the furry guest into that room. They could also wonder around the apartment as well. My building complex also has a dog park which is nice to run around and play.
“Robin is always so wonderful with our dog, Adelaide. She does regular drop in visits with her so when we need boarding services, Robin is always our first choice! She shows our dog so much care, attention and love.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, birds, chickens, fish, and horses since I was little. Anything from feeding to exercise to medical needs I can handle. As I am taking online classes for college as well as commuting from home, my schedule is super open and I’m ready to care for your animals! I have a large fenced in yard with a park right next door for easily accessible walks and exercise. I also have two dogs who are very friendly and love to be around others. I can easily separate if necessary
About: With have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. My experience includes daily walks, potty training, feeding, administering basic care, and providing attentive companionship. I am passionate about ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether caring for an energetic puppy, a senior dog, or an independent cat, I provide reliable, patient, and personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I truly believe pets are cherished family members, and I am dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for while their owners are away. Whether I am spending time with a playful puppy, a gentle senior dog, or an independent cat, I provide patient, dependable, and personalized care that reflects each pet’s unique personality and needs. I learned early on how special the human-animal bond can be and how important it is to understand their behaviors, emotions, and individual needs. Every pet I care for is treated as if they were my own, with plenty of affection, attention, kindness, and genuine love. As a nursing student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and loving care for your pets throughout the day. Your pup can enjoy supervised outdoor time in my fully fenced backyard, along with walks, play sessions, and lots of affection. Weekends are especially flexible since I am off from school, making it easy to accommodate boarding, drop-in visits, or extended care. My goal is to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free home environment where pets are treated like family. My home features a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and exercise, along with plenty of indoor space for rest, relaxation, and cuddles. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owners. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and I maintain a clean, secure environment to ensure their well-being at all times.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakville
This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! She took wonderful care of my dog, kept me updated with messages, and gave me complete peace of mind. She was also incredibly accommodating when I realized I had forgotten to include an extra day on my original booking, and she made the process so easy. On top of that, she patiently helped me navigate the Rover app as a first-time user, which I really appreciated. Kind, reliable, and communicative—I would absolutely book with her again!
Jennifer~I wanted to leave more stars than 5!! She was a fantastic “parents are on vacay” substitute…she quickly learned my pups personalities and routine and stuck w/it! I received daily pics/vids/updates about our precious pups,therefore making our trip more relaxing&enjoyable! For wonderful care and peace of mind, I highly recommend Jennifer! Will definitely use her and her doggie charm again❤️

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
98% of Oakville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Oakville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oakville 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 favorite hang-out spots in your Oakville.
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.
You and your Oakville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
