“I had a great experience with Lisa and highly recommend her! From the start, she was communicative, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. I gave her a long list of info about my pups and she welcomed the details. Her confident attitude and understanding, gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She provided pics and all went well! It’s not easy to trust someone with your fur babies, but she made the whole experience stress-free and positive. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: With 20 years of hands-on dog care experience, I’ve worked with breeds of every size, age, and temperament. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and pups. I provide attentive walks, feeding, medication administration, and lots of affection, treating every dog like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home full time, so I’m available on weekends during the day for walks and weekdays after 5:30pm, feeding, and check-ins. I also have two senior dogs of my own, so I’m experienced with age-related needs like mobility issues, medication schedules, and extra patience and care. In my own home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment with regular potty breaks, playtime, and cozy spaces to rest—especially important since I have senior dogs myself who need a quiet, low-stress setting. In a client’s home, I respect their pet’s normal routine, sticking to familiar feeding schedules, walk times, and resting spots.
About: Long time dog/cat owner that has years of experience working with Rover and Wag to deliver quality, reliable, pet care. I treat every animal as if it is my own. I’m currently available the majority of the time both during the week and weekends currently to provide flexible and convenient care for your pets. I ensure your dog is safe and secure before going out and make sure to keep an eye out for any hazardous conditions. I treat each pet like they are my own.
“Maddy is great! I felt our cat was in great hands the whole time we were gone. She’s very professional, responsive and Belle clearly loved being around her. 10 out of 10 recommend.”
About: I've helped raise my two family dogs! A Jack Russell Terrier and a Great Pyrenees. My family has had both since they were puppies so I have experience with puppy care! Having both breeds, I'm used to both small and large dogs. I have also been hired by family and friends to watch and walk their dogs while away on trips. I'm currently a college student and a part-time worker! I am able to find time in afternoons after my classes/shifts to take care of pets! I can do drop-ins to keep your pets daily routine uninterrupted! I am able to feed and replenish water bowls, take pets on potty breaks, and give some 1-1 attention!
“Aly is great and very trustworthy! Meet and greet went great and she took care of my cat very well during a trip I had to take. Went above and beyond to try and get through very inclement weather to give my cat some medication as well. Very responsive and provided great updates. Could always rely on her! Definitely booking again!”
About: I have cared for family and friends’ pets who rely on me for loving, dependable support. I have provided feeding, walks, playtime, attention, and companionship while making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability to provide your pets with attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy creating a safe and comfortable environment where pets feel happy and loved. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet I care for. When visiting clients’ homes, I respect their space, follow their routines, and provide attentive care, love, and companionship, so pets feel secure while their owners are away.
“This was my first time using Rover, I also needed a dog sitter really last minute so I was pretty nervous but Brenda put me at absolute ease with clear communication from the start. My dog is kind of a handful because she’s only 9 months old & this was the first time she had been taken care of by a stranger but I don’t think there could have been someone better than Brenda. She understood all the details, asked the right questions during our virtual meet & greet, & provided me with all the useful information I needed to have as a first time user. She took such good care of my pup, we will definitely book her again. Thank you so much Brenda for being so accommodating & kind, we had a wonderful experience.”
“Skyler is a pet pro! Our family highly recommends her to anyone seeking care for their kitties. She is a great communicator and took excellent care of our babies while we were out of town. We got lots of pictures of our kitties, and it shows that they adore Skyler. One of our kitties is elderly and requires daily oral injections, which Skyler gave him with ease. We’d love to have Skyler back when we travel again.”
“Caroline took amazing care of my girl, Stella. She was attentive to Stella’s needs and gave her the cuddles she requested each drop in visit. We will definitely have her back!”
About: I grew up with lots of animals that always needed extra care and love. I also have taken care of seniors that need extra attention, patience, and medication. I just recently graduated cosmetology school so I’m taking time off in the mean time to explore other areas. I have open availability so my focus can be on your fur babies I keep plenty of toys and litter boxes around the home. I keep evening tidy and clean for my animals. I like to meet the animal first to make sure it’ll be a good fit and to ensure I am capable of taking care of them
“Camila was great! We reached out last minute to set up a drop in visit for our golden retriever, Carson, and she was super quick to respond and set up a quick meet and greet later that same day. She took great care of our Carson, provided updates and pictures during their walk. We will definitely reach out to Camila next time we need a sitter!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs & cats (literally) my entire life! I’ve taken care of both young and senior pets and I have experience with administering medication orally and through injection as well! I’m a senior in high school, so I have school most weekdays from 9:00-2:10. I also work part time on occasion from 4-9:20 as well as every Sunday 11:30-4:00. I have a big schedule, but I can always find a way around it to take care of your pet 🥰❤️ I have a fenced yard and two german shepards and a domestic shorthair (who stays in my basement.) I have previous experience caring for pets in my home by keeping them in my room that can be locked from the outside (large dog care may be difficult but we can figure something out ☺️.) In your home, I will be sure to leave everything as it was. I will notify you of everything I do in your home. As an anxious person myself with multiple pets, your pets will be safe in my hands 😊
About: For the past 20 years I have taken care of dogs. I have a multi-dog family and we participate in many dog sports. My friends rely on me for their issues with their pets. I can take care of your dog or kennel. I'm not working so I have plenty of free time. I have decided to put my experience caring for multiple pets to use. I'm available most days and weekends. I have a fenced yard and several friendly dogs to keep your dog company. Your dog must be crate-trained. I will require your dog to be current on vaccinations for bordetella, parvo, distemper and rabies. I require a meet and great before taking care of your pets. I want to know their routine, food, medications, and activities they like.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Algonquin Hills
Madison from the moment I first spoke with her showed intent interest in making sure to try to get to know and understand my dog as best as she could. She has an innate talent and comfort around animals and was able to get my boy to trust her within minutes of them first meeting. She always took the time to make sure he was cared for and looked after and always went above and beyond to make sure he was always looked after. I will always feel comfortable having her look after my dog and am confident any pet in her care is in good hands.
Alexis is a delight. I have 2 shy kitties. One is especially shy and rarely comes out when strangers are around. Both kitties warmed up to Alexis and came around for her visits. This is a major break through for my especially shy kitty. I had multiple deliveries during the time Alexis was taking care of my furbabies. All deliveries should have arrived before my departure but were delayed. Alexis brought each delivery in for me. Thank you, Alexis, for your kindness and thank you for caring for Poppy and Penny. Great job!
Logan did an awesome job with our drop-in visit for Holly! He was reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of her while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Logan followed instructions perfectly and made sure Holly was comfortable and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Algonquin Hills is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 13,460 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Algonquin Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
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.
