“Leaving your home, your plants, and - most importantly - your cats for two weeks is always a little stressful. Beth and Margaret made us forget about all of it. They didn't just keep things running - they genuinely cared. Our plants were watered and thriving when we got back, and when an unexpected ant invasion showed up, they handled it without us even asking. That's the kind of thing you hope nobody has to deal with, but they stepped in anyway. And then there were the cats. Sauron is the easiest customer on Earth. Nandor... is not. He's convinced that every unfamiliar human has arrived to ruin his day. Somehow, Beth and Margaret earned his trust, got him playing, and even got him to happily accept pets. We honestly didn't think that was possible. The updates, photos, and little stories they shared over those two weeks made it obvious they weren't just checking boxes - they were spending real time with our boys and treating them like their own. If "above and beyond" had a dictionary entry, it would just say: **Beth and Margaret.** We came home to happy cats, healthy plants, an ant-free house, and complete peace of mind. We couldn't have asked for better people to care for our home, and we wouldn't hesitate for a second to book them again or recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters. Thank you!!!”
About: I spent 12 years caring for my family cat and learned how to keep pets safe, calm, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to excellent care. I work full‑time, but I’m available for pet care from Thursday to Saturday and can accept same‑day bookings. On Wednesdays, I’m available after 6 PM. If voluntary time off is available at 3 PM, I can leave work then and arrive shortly after if a client needs care on Wednesday. My dad is allergic, so dogs can’t enter my home. I provide outdoor care with full supervision, using my fenced backyard and dog‑friendly indoor break spots.
“Thank you so much Carol, for looking after Carrot so well. We really appreciate it. It’s such peace of mind to know he’s been looked after so well and enjoyed the company!”
“Alysa has been doing drop-ins for my puppy for the past couple of months. She has been reliable and very responsive. I can tell she really enjoys spending time with my dog and truly cares for him. I highly recommend her!”
“I am really happy to have Peter visiting my dog while I am at work! He is reliable, caring, and professional. Peter drops in several times per week to check on Max, plays with him outside, makes sure he has fresh water, and always gets him safely back inside, even when Max decides he’d much rather keep playing outside 😂 I really appreciate how patient he is with him and how comfortable I feel knowing Max is in his care. I trust him to take good care of Max and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable to look after their dog!”
“Sarah looked after my babies from Dec 22-Jan 1st. She was amazing. My two babies were so content with her. I highly recommend choosing Sarah to look after your fur babies.”
About: Having dogs and cats at a young age and taking care of them and loving them has inspired and motivated me to take this great opportunity on Rover to care for others with attentiveness, kindness, and patience. My availability is only open to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays as I am currently busy with another job. I am available on those days from 10 am to 7 pm. In my home I have cared for my pets by walking them regularly, feeding them, and cleaning any messes in the house from any incidents. I do these all with care, love, attentiveness, and patience and strive to give that kind of care to your pets.
“Karen took such wonderful care of my cat, Neo, while I was away on vacation. She went above and beyond by sending daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Neo was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Karen is fantastic with cats—her warmth and attentiveness really shine through, and it made all the difference. She was also incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I’m so glad I chose Karen, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
About: Hey fellow animal lovers! My name is Jess and I am a 29-year old woman who recently returned home after traveling abroad and am dealing with the passing of my father. My own kitten Axel has been an invaluable support during this transition period and I know how important pets are to their families. I have a lot of free time right now and I’d love getting the chance via Rover to spend time with your dogs and cats that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to get! In the past, I’ve had very close bonds with my relatives pets, often sitting them for them when needed. I have also done some foster work with dogs and cats at my local shelter when I was going to university so I’m used to taking care of a variety of different and new pets and attuning myself to the needs and wants of each one, including any medical issues or behavioural quirks. I have fostered extra large dogs, been the walker for more than a few puppies in my time, lived with a geriatric cat for the last years of her life, and now take care of my boisterous and cuddly kitten. I am a very active outdoorsy person who loves to go on long walks or hang in the park so I would love to have a furry friend join me on these adventures! I also love a good indoor cuddle session or playtime at home for whatever dog or cat who needs it. I live in Ajax right by Pickering Village/close to the highway and own a car so I can get most anywhere in Durham for your sitting/walking needs. I’m currently unemployed so I am available any day or time for requests! I hope I get the chance to know all of you and your animals soon!! When it comes to your pets, my schedule is wide open and I am free anytime after noon on weekdays for walking/home check-ins, or anytime at all on weekends. For house sitting, I can make your home my base any day of the week and will only need to leave the house for maximum a couple hours each day just to go to the gym on some weekdays. At my own home, I check/clean Axel’s litter box twice a day, feed him dinner at night (an automated feeder takes care of the rest), and make sure to play/cuddle with him for at least an hour every day! When caring for pets in your home, I’m happy to follow whatever guidelines your household may have regarding feeding, litter cleanup, being let out to pee, enrichment time, training, walks, crating, enforcing house rules, you name it!
About: i’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since i was 10! i would feed them, walk them and play with them! i just love it! i’m available most days of the week! unless im having family time! i would love to get to know ur dogs and best fit their needs! I would care for pet in clients home. I would play with them, walk them/ let them out when needed and play ball if allowed by owner
About: My 4 years (and counting!) of veterinary assistant experience make me an ideal candidate to be your Rover sitter as I am comfortable handling dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Caring for dogs at work is amazing, but I'm on Rover because I still can't get enough! My current job allows for lots of flexibility during most weekdays. I'm here to help you meet your pet's needs, even with your busy schedule! You can rest assured that my priority will always be your pet's wellbeing. If your pet is under my care, they will be treated as my own.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience with anxious dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and letting them build trust at their own pace. Because I work from home full-time, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. They’ll receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, enrichment, and walks throughout the day. Whether your pup loves adventure or prefers a slower, quieter routine, I’m happy to match their energy level and individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, with plenty of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible, 24/7 care and supervision. I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, meals, and medication if needed. Because my schedule is so flexible, I can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have lots of companionship, supervision, and frequent walks throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my senior dog, who is used to having canine company. Caring for an older, more sensitive dog has given me a great understanding of anxious pets and the importance of patience and consistency. I maintain a reliable routine while staying flexible to match your pet’s schedule and individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾
About: I have 8 years experience as a paid dog-walker and have provided drop-in visits. I have been able to provide drop in visits for friends and family. I have also fostered a dog for a rescue. My pet family includes my dog and three cats. I'm currently employed as a part-time dog worker for two families. I really enjoy being around dogs. In the summer of 2021 I walked 6 dogs in addition to my own. For client with cats, I offer drop in visits. I can scoop the litter box, wash the pet bowls and give fresh water with each visit. For clients with dogs, if no walk is booked at the same time as a drop in visit, I will let the dog out for a potty break, and bag fresh poop.
“I contacted Farah pretty much last minute to look after my cat for 5 days. She responded promptly and quickly accepted my request! She did everything I requested and more! She kept Luna's area clean and tidy. She even left catnip for my cat on the last day. She was attentive and I think she did a fabulous job. Although my cat is on the shy side, she still tried to get her comfortable with her. She even stayed an extra 40 minutes! She was always on time and messaged me with photos and updates, which I really appreciated. If I ever need someone to look after Luna in the future, it will definitely be Farah!”
About: Hey there! My name is Liz and I love animals! Dogs, cats, lizards, birds, snakes, rodents you name it! I have a very calm disposition and I am always down for a snuggle or a heavy duty play session! I will walk/play/talk to your pets for as long as you like to help their days go by faster until you get home :) I currently work part time from 11-1 every day at an elementary school, but any time before or after that, I am available! On weekends I have full time availability! I have a nice two story space that I am happy to house any animal in. It’s extremely cat and dog friendly, and while I don’t have a yard, I live a 15 second walk from the Duffins Creek Trail in Ajax, where I am happy to walk your dog for as long as you desire!
About: I am a veterinary assistant at a vet hospital in Durham. I have three amazing French bulldogs of my own! Caring for animals is my passion. I’m working part-time currently and looking for something to do in my spare time and there’s nothing I’d rather do than spend time with furry friends! My home has a fenced in yard and we also have a crate to be safe and spare rooms for the anxious pups and kittys. I have experience with feeding, walking, medicating and washing pets.

Elizabeth and Margaret are cat whisperers 😻 super sweet and caring. Spent extra time with our kitties. Took their time getting to know our shy cat. We received lots of picture and video updates which really helped set my mind at ease that my babies are well cared for while we are away. Thank you 😺
Khadija was a fantastic pet sitter for our Pentax! She thoughtfully added water to his wet food to help keep him hydrated during the warmer weather. By the end of her stay, Pentax had really warmed up to her, and it was clear that he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided!
