About: I am not “The Expert or Professional”. I am a doggie lover led by a burning desire in my heart with matured mind working together to do something big and to give a better, healthier, and happier life to “The Dogs”. I am an intense and impassioned dog devotee who is ready to do absolutely anything (literally anything!) to hear the happy WOOFs. I believe in walking around accompanied by a dog has the tendency to stimulate positive social interactions between humans. I also believe playing fetch or petting a dog boosts the levels of the hormone called oxytocin in the brain and lower production of cortisol, a stress-inducing hormone. Lastly "There is no better psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face".

About: Hello! My name is Emily. I have been surrounded by dogs and cats for my whole life!. Ever since I could speak I have known I wanted to work with animals which is what brought me to Rover. I also have over 5 years of experience working in veterinary medicine. My passion for animals is what makes me a reliable and caring sitter. When I have a dog in my care I ensure to provide as many stimulating activities as I can. Along with activities I provide a “home away from home” environment in which your dog has access to all the comforts of home. My promise to you is that your dog will be in good hands with me, I know firsthand how anxiety provoking it can be letting someone else watch over your pup. However, if your dog is in my care there is no need to worry! I provide 24/7 extremely careful supervision and care. Thank you for your consideration! When I am not sitting I am working at a veterinary hospital! and am currently in veterinary technician school. My experience in vet med has definitely helped me provide the best care to my furry clients! I have many safety precautions in place such as separating feeding time so there is no risk of any food aggression/dogs eating food they shouldn’t.

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and have many years of experience caring for dogs and cats, as well as other animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have experience walking, grooming (basic), and caring for various dog breeds and ages and love to go the extra mile! Since childhood, I have taken a keen interest in volunteering with animals and have worked with many wonderful organizations such as Nova's Ark and Action Volunteers for Animals. I have cared for many pets growing up, most recently my 16 year old beagle, Clyde, who sadly passed away almost 2 years ago. I am very familiar with the special needs and care that senior dogs and cats require. I have also taken care of friends and family's pets for extended time periods as well. I am currently working as a Pet Health Consultant at Tail Blazers, a health food store for pets, for almost 2 years now which has allowed me to greatly expand my knowledge of pet care. I bring my love and passion for animals into everything I do in life. I believe our pets are family and so deserve all the love, dignity, and respect! Your furry friend/family would be in the best of hands in my care! Dog Walking & Drop-In Availability: Sunday & Saturday - between 9:30am and 7:00pm. Monday-Friday - between 8:00am to 9:30am and evenings after 4:45pm. Housesitting availability is flexible but varies. I am only available to housesit at the pet owners house. I am flexible and can make changes to my weekday schedule for regular clients or for special circumstances. I will do everything I can to ensure the safety, health, and happiness of your pet and help your daily/weekly schedules go as smoothly as possible. Whether you need a pet sitter or walker or just need someone to drop by for a check in and potty break, I'm your girl! I am more than comfortable assisting in feeding and crating your dog before or after walks if needed.

About: Hi! I’m Karina, and I’ve always had a huge love for animals, especially dogs. Dogs have a special way of bringing me back to calm, connection and joy. I truly believe every dog has their own personality, story and unique way of speaking to your soul. ❤️ I love caring for animals with all kinds of needs, and I have a special soft spot for the ones who need a little extra TLC. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals who have experienced abandonment, neglect, anxiety and fear, and I’ve always loved finding ways to help them feel safe, build trust and create a special bond. Seeing an animal overcome a fear, become more confident and experience life a little more fully brings me so much happiness. Every animal deserves to feel safe, loved and happy! My experience comes from all the amazing animals who have crossed my path with different personalities and needs. I’ve cared for anxious, fearful and reactive dogs, as well as plenty of happy, easygoing pups who simply want to walk, play, explore and soak up some attention. I always approach each dog with patience, positive reinforcement, respect and lots of love. Within my family, circle of friends and neighbourhood community, I’ve naturally become the go-to person for dog sitting, check-ins and plenty of extra TLC. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love being available when people need someone they trust. And if I’m at a social gathering and there’s a dog in the room… well, that’s my new buddy! 😂🐶 I’m usually the person saying hello, giving them some attention and getting to know them. I love taking dogs on walks and little adventures, watching them explore, sniff, play and experience new things. I also enjoy giving them one-on-one relaxation and pampering time, including gentle stretching, massage and wellness care. Dogs give us so much love, and I think they deserve plenty of time to relax and be spoiled, too! My background also includes working with children with special needs, seniors and foster care, which has taught me to be especially nurturing, patient and attentive to individual needs. I have a current broad police check and take the trust that comes with caring for someone’s beloved pet very seriously. My services include: • Dog walking and adventure walks • Dog visits and companionship • Wellness and check-in visits • At-home pampering and relaxation • Gentle stretching and massage • Personalized care for anxious, fearful or reactive dogs I don’t just want to care for your dog — I want them to feel cared for, understood and loved. ❤️ If your dog loves attention, affection, adventure and being doted on, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 I am a stay-at-home mom with a lot of availability and flexibility. I enjoy being out and traveling, and what better way to be busy than playing with pets! I have a fenced yard and a comfortable, pet-friendly home where dogs can feel safe, relaxed and cared for. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their own home, I take the time to get to know them and pay attention to their body language, energy and behaviour so I can understand what they may need. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to make reasonable adjustments to help them feel comfortable. If a dog is anxious, nervous or overwhelmed, I’ll adjust my approach and environment to help them settle in. If they’re playful and adventurous, I’m happy to keep them engaged and active. And if they simply want to relax beside me and receive some extra love and attention, I’m more than happy to spoil them! I aim to provide thoughtful, personalized care based on each pet’s personality and comfort level. My goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, happy and cared for while you’re away, with plenty of patience, affection and attention along the way. 🐾❤️

“Angela has a pure love for animals, such a kind soul. After finding her profile I knew she was the one, and she was the only one I reached out to. Meeting her in person and talking to her more was an absolute pleasure. She took care of my two kitties, Leo and Mews, and the added responsibility of my free roaming cockatiel, Bobby, like they were her own. Nearly last minute Leo was put on 2 medications and Angela took that on without hesitation. Her twice daily updates with pictures were the best! Her descriptive interactions with each 3 made me know how caring she is and that she took the time to get to know them individually. And Leo...he bonded with Angela right away and adored her. Honestly when I came home and he saw me instead of Angela he looked disappointed. I can't thank Angela enough for taking amazing care of Mews, Leo and Bobby ♥️”

About: I've always been the go to doggy sitter for my friend's dogs, i've been assigned to walk, feed and spend weeks at their home sitting. Our family dog is a husky so i'm used to large and super active dogs. I love taking pictures and videos, so you will be receiving updates from me if that's what you desire. I work from 8-4 on the weekdays so i can only sit furries that are used to staying on their own when their parents are at work. Nonetheless i always make sure your doggies don’t feel bored as i ensure they receive the care they need, playtime and their regular walks to keep them entertained. I can only offer taking care of your pet at your own place and this can include going for a walk or a run, playing, feeding, bathing and grooming,...

About: Pricing can fluctuate ;) I love dogs, and thankfully they seem to love me back! I have always owned a dog myself, so I am used to the responsibility and I have the knowledge needed to take care of your pet. I also was a pet nanny previous so I have dealt with almost every kind of dog with zero issues. I also have looked after cats, which is no problem either. I have also had to administer medications to both cats and dogs and I am comfortable doing so. Im trustworthy and outgoing and my availability is very scattered and I am very understanding when schedule changes need to be made because of emergency or other reasons. I have a huge love for animals so this opportunity would be amazing. I am currently working medium volume of part time hours at Starbucks 25/30. My schedule is scattered but I usually work early mornings leaving afternoons and evenings completely open! Weekends usually work good for me as well :) I have a fenced in yard and lots of running room. I also keep on hand two types of leashes and a harness depending on what length of walk I’ll be taking my dog and where we are headed!

About: I can take great care of your dog — no matter their age, size, or personality. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from tiny newborn pups to sweet seniors, and I’m comfortable with everything from cuddly lap dogs to more reactive or nervous pups who need extra patience and understanding. Your dog will be safe, loved, and treated like family with me. I know how to read canine body language, handle different temperaments, and keep pets calm, happy, and secure. Whether your dog wants snuggles, structure, playtime, or space, I adjust to what they need. I’d love the chance to care for your pup and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! I currently own my own art business so I can work my schedule around your schedule! I am very flexible with how I run my business. You let me know your boundaries and I am more than capable making sure you can trust me. I can provide a criminal background check a whatever other references you need to feel okay letting me get to know your pet in your home.

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!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Hayley always made me feel completely comfortable and gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I really trusted her to take care of him, and it was obvious how much she genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. My dog absolutely loves playing with her, and I could tell he was happy and comfortable in her care. I also really appreciated the photo updates she left for me, because it was so nice to see him having fun and know how he was doing while I was away. I’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and would happily have her look after him again. 🐾❤️

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Ajax

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Ajax is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 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.

There are 5,572 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Ajax. About 87% 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.

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.

Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.

For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.

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.

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 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.

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.
