“Analisa did a wonderful job boarding our dog. She was very caring and careful about introducing him to family members and other dogs at the house and shared many photos and updates throughout the weekend so that we knew he was doing well. We will absolutely be happy to use her for boarding and daycare again.”
“I highly recommend Josephine to anyone seeking a caring and skilled dog sitter. Her compassion, understanding, and ability to connect with my shy and clingy dogs are truly remarkable. I'm grateful to have found such a trustworthy and reliable person to take care of my furry family member.”
“Amazing service !!! She was soo nice with Sophie and she made sure she had an awesome time while I was away . She updated multiple times per day with cute videos and pictures . It was easy to tell Sophie was well taken care of . I will definitely continue to use her services for the next time . 20/10 !!!”
“Gabriela was amazing! My dog Archie fell in love with her, her family and her home. She made sure to care for him and send daily updates about him while I was gone. This was my first time using Rover and will definitely be booking Gabriela again.”
“Jessica watched my dog Biscuit over the Thanksgiving weekend. As always, she provided excellent care and love to my doggo. LOVED the pictures and videos she sent multiple times throughout the days. Looking forward to booking Jessica again to watch our Biscuit. Thank you!”
“We had an amazing experience with duya as a dog sitter! From the moment I sent the request on Rover, she was responsive, kind, and clearly cared about making sure our dog was comfortable. She sent regular photo and video updates, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and was well taken cared for. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and reliable dog sitter!”
“Sugar had a blast with Gerry and the Mejia family! Gerry was quick with responses to questions and initial booking. I was given updates throughout her stay with pictures showing me how much fun she was having. She came home pooped and that says a lot for an energetic husky. Thank you Gerry! We will definitely consider you again for Sugar's next vacation!!”
About: I have had my yorkie for 10+ yrs. and have dog sat friends fur babies. I love dogs and they are treated better than family. I work full time but only work about 15 min away from my house and I have a dog of my own who gets walks in the morning mid-day and evening. Pets also have free range of my home. Pets in my home have free range to the whole house we have a yard but it is not fenced in but we do take them out on walks and play with them, we also love to cuddle with them and give them all the love they want. My dog eats throughout the day but we stick to other dogs' feeding schedule. If the pet is in their own home I make sure they follow the rules they're used to.
“5+++ I can't recommend these two highly enough. Our 13 year old Jesse hasn't been away from us often. These sitters made her very comfortable and happy. We received consistent updates as we were away. Along with video and picture updates showing what a great time our dog was having. Our dog was walked, played with and kept very busy and happy. I don't think she missed us at all. Thanks again for a job well done! We'll retain your services in a heartbeat moving forward when needed.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since early adolescence. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and reactive dogs. I provide pets with love, mental stimulation, physical activity, and basic training. I am currently working part time and am available after 2 PM on weekdays, with open availability throughout the weekends. I can also board pets over night. I have a front, and backyard with a park nearby with a fenced play area. I have 1 dog and 1 cat to keep your fur baby company. I also have crates for the pets upon request. In addition, I have video surveillance in the living room to check in on the pets while I am away from home.
“Angel is truly a guardian angel for pets! She took care of my cat over Thanksgiving break like he was her own, even mastering the art of giving him his asthma medication—a feat not for the faint of heart. The daily picture updates were the cherry on top, showing my happy, well-loved kitty lounging like a king. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Angel’s your go-to!”
“Repeat visitor and Lisa does a great job taking care of our Ranger. He truly enjoys being there and loves the fun time at the nearby town or backyard fun. She takes the time sending videos and pictures to us throughout Ranger’s stay. Most of all Lisa takes the time to care for our Ranger.”
“May was amazing with my dog! She communicated really well and sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s very experienced and took such great care of my dog with lots of love and attention. I highly recommend May and would definitely book with her again! 🐶”
“Zeus is well taken care of. I trust that he is in great hands with Neicie and her family. I appreciate the updates and communication, helps me know he is having a great time with his friends. Thank you!”
“Love how they took care of all three of my cats. My cats were scared and nervous but they checked on them and sent photos and gave them treats. They had their own room to make them feel comfortable and be able to roam around. I will definitely be using them again for my babies.”
“Suzhen is an attentive, caring, reliable and loving dog sitter; I’m so grateful to have found her for my beloved, energetic people-loving doodle. I can be separate from my dog with ease, trust and joy getting text, photo and video updates throughout a stay. Thank you so much, we are so grateful.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! Jerry sent plenty of videos and kept us updated on Luna throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. The atmosphere was welcoming, the home was very clean, and the backyard space was perfect for Luna to run around and enjoy herself. When we picked Luna up, she was happy and clearly well cared for. Jerry truly went above and beyond by sending us home with a sweet photo of Luna along with some treats as a keepsake. Such a thoughtful touch! We truly appreciated the love and care shown to our girl and will definitely be back. Doesn’t matter the language as long as I know my pet is cared for.”

Jessica and her family were very hospitable and amazing with our dog, Zen. She sent us all pictures and videos throughout the day because we were missing him on our trip. She followed all our instructions for feedings and bathroom breaks, etc and her kids played with him a lot, which is great for his stimulation and being occupied. We’ll definitely be using Jessica again!!
Amanda is a wonderful host! We were looking for last minute care since our sitter plans fell through and she gladly accommodated us. Amanda is super sweet, responsive and took great care of our dog. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again in the future!
Josephine was fantastic 🙌…attentive, kind, and caring with Panda, who is diabetic. She sent regular updates with pictures and was very communicative throughout the stay. This was a last-minute booking on a hot workday (July 19) after my truck’s AC went out, so it felt like a bit of an emergency. I’m truly grateful, thank you so much!
Shirley made sure both of my dogs had a great time while in her care. She also is very knowledgeable about dogs and behavior. I received frequent updates and pictures/videos which ensured me that they were doing well. We appreciate all that she has done for us and the pups!
Mayra was awesome! She took excellent care of Draco while we were away. She was communicative and kept us up to date as she sent me videos and photos of Draco, which put our minds at ease considering this was our first time hiring a dog sitter. We highly recommend Mayra to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter.
Gabriela was wonderful with our girl Rosie during a 3 night stay. Rosie is a high energy bird dog and was going through her first heat, but Gabriela followed her routine perfectly, changed her diapers, and sent lots of photos and videos. Her dog Kobe is a friendly sweetheart and got along great with Rosie. Highly recommend!
Great experience overall. Daisy came home calm, relaxed, and very well taken care of, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was out of town. Communication was smooth, and I could tell she got plenty of attention and care during the stay. Definitely appreciate the help and would book again. Highly recommend.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Ontario can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ontario home-away-from-home, 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 Ontario.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ontario 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.

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 .
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 CA 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.
