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 aspire to make sure our pets receive the love and care they deserve. I have been taking care of pets since I was an early teen and enjoy going on walks with them and make sure that they are never bored while their family is away. I just finished getting my bachelors in landscape architecture from the University of Guelph and would like to exercise my free will and start engaging with animals as frequently as I can. I go on walks daily with my dog and think it would be so much fun to bring another buddy along with her. I will ensure that your pet(s) is feeling right at home and mimic the routine you best prefer for your animal, as well as provide enough attention and activity for health benefits.

About: My sons and I bring a wealth of experience and a deep love for pets. They’ve helped care for their dad’s German Shepherd, and we also raised our own beloved dachshund named Marshall, who lived to be 17 years old. As he got older, my sons were especially gentle, taking him on slow, easy walks to keep him comfortable. Our home is filled with kindness, attentiveness, and care, and your dog will be welcomed into a loving family environment with me and my two sons, aged 10 and 14. I’m currently available any day or night of the week. I can take your dog out for walks by the water in the morning and evening, and my sons can provide additional walks in the neighbourhood. I’m happy to accommodate dog-sitting or walking needs with advance notice. Whether you need regular weekend care or occasional support, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention they need! Our home is a safe, loving environment, perfect for pets who need a little extra comfort while their owners are away. We have a secure, fenced yard where your dog can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. If crating is part of their routine, I’m happy to help—just bring along their crate. My two sons and I will be here to give your dog lots of companionship and play, so they’ll never feel alone or anxious. We’re a family that’s kind, gentle, and dedicated to making pets feel understood, loved, and right at home.

About: Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I treat them as such (sometimes better than people!). With a lifetime of experience living with and caring for medium to large-sized dogs, I have a natural knack for connecting with pups of all personalities. I’ve helped train dogs for family and friends, so whether your furry friend needs a little extra guidance or just lots of love, I’ve got it covered. I’m active, playful, and always ready for games, long walks, or snuggle sessions. Dogs seem to sense that I’m a true “dog person”—I’m often the first person a new pup will approach and warm up to. Their happiness, comfort, and wagging tails are always my top priority! As I work from Home, I am able to be with your Dog 24/7 & Regular Pet Care is already a part of my Daily routine. I can and will care for your dogs exactly as you would, it will be like they never left home (perhaps even better!). We have a large, fenced in backyard as well as a large, fenced in dog park (that is hardly used by others) only minutes away. Big or Small, we love them all! If your dog needs to be crated at night, we can definitely accommodate. We will also share pictures and videos with you of your puppers while with us. At the end of the day, we want both you and your dog to have a completely stress-free "vacation" and will do everything possible to insure this.

Alexa and Andrew are so amazing! We cannot say enough good things about our dog sitters. They are incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely care about our dog. Their communication is outstanding—they send frequent updates and so many photos, which gives us total peace of mind. It’s clear how attentive and thoughtful they are, and we trust them completely with our dog. We feel so lucky to have found them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving care.

Jahzara is amazing. We used Rover for the first time and I trusted my intuition to go with her based on her profile and I am so happy to say it went perfectly. Our cats were happy when we came back from our vacation as they got a lot of love and attention. Jahzara made sure to send us the photos from every visit and seeing them getting love and treats was a joy. I will definitely be trusting her with taking care of animals.

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I have recent experience with my own high energy breed with reactivity. Learning about these special needs have given me the knowledge, skill, and patience to feel confident working with all pets! I am currently working full time hours with different shifts. This means I will have some weekdays available, as well as weekday mornings before work or weekday evenings after work and some weekend availability! Due to my own pets needs I do not offer services in my own home. I will care for your pet as my own! Following your rules and boundaries, your fur baby will get lots of play time and chill time as needed! I can also help with practicing any basic training your pet might be working on!

About: Animals are my absolute passion and I live my life very much in mind of animal welfare. As a testament, I have been a vegetarian for many years now and it's a joy to be able to care for and spend time with animals. Most people would define me as a compassionate and dedicated animal lover. It would be my dream to make it my work. I really enjoy being out with the dogs and I tend to give them a lot of attention and always have safety and enrichment in mind. In the past I would go on "Meetup" dog walking hikes, even though I do not own one, just because it makes hiking that much better! I have volunteered and been trained at several animal shelters over the years including the Toronto Humane Society where I would walk a range of dogs, everything from aggressive, blind, physically disabled, friendly and various types of breeds. I also grew up with a family pet for 14 years in addition to dog walking for countless family members, friends and neighbours. In addition to caring for dogs , I was fostering cats for about 8 years. I have adopted out and fostered about 30 cats over that time (one or two at a time), helping them to become accustomed to home life and trustful of humans. Therefore, I can tend to any cats or other pets at your home. Look forward to meeting your fur "baby"! When I am dog or cat sitting your pet would be my number one priority. For dogs I often do one big walk/adventure a day and regular local walks or bathroom breaks for the remaining of the day. Safety is always my number one concern for the animal. With new dogs I'm always cautious around other animals, do not go to off leash dog parks and I keep them leashed up. I currently only do house sitting so the animals are usually comfortable in their environment and they make sure they have plenty of water and food.

About: Experience started from growing up with dogs and has evolved to over a decade of experience caring for friends and families’ pets while raising my own 3 rescue dogs. Previous customers have expressed gratitude for my communication skills while caring for their pet, which allows you to know your pet is safe and well (happy to provide text and picture updates!) I have full-time availability. I am able to offer flexible hours and to drive to location as I have my own vehicle which can safely transport pets. I prioritize safety with any pets’ care. By first collecting background information from the owner, you can be sure key information has been understood before I take responsibility for your pet. I am happy to accommodate any requests to ensure pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for.

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.

Nora was amazing with Bailey, she sent us pictures of her time with him. This was my first time using the Rover app and honestly won’t be the last.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Ajax on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 5,399 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Ajax. About 86% of Ajax sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Ajax stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ajax choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
