“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. 🐾❤️”
“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!”
About: I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I take time to understand their routine and personality, whether it’s an energetic puppy needing structure and basic training or a senior pet who needs extra patience and gentle care. I’m reliable, attentive, and always keep you updated with photos and messages so you have complete peace of mind. I work full-time from home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and supervision throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can easily incorporate feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and check-ins into my daily routine without leaving pets alone for long periods. I structure my schedule to ensure pets stay on their regular routine and feel comfortable in a calm, quiet environment—especially important for cats. I’m also available for morning, evening, and weekend care, so I can be flexible based on each pet’s needs. Being home means your pet gets companionship, attention, and a stress-free environment, not just quick visits I provide a calm, clean, and safe home environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Since I work full-time from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, playtime, and rest, so they feel as at home as possible. For cats, I make sure they have a quiet, cozy space and maintain very clean litter boxes to keep them stress-free. For dogs, I ensure regular walks, play, and structure. I’m attentive to details like medication if needed and always prioritize safety and comfort. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels relaxed, loved, and part of the family
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.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 14. I'm very reliable, punctual, affectionate and I enjoy the company of dogs at all times I work from home in IT and my job allows me to have lots of down time that I can put to good use walking and sitting dogs. I am available Mondays through Thursdays most of the day but I'm very flexible with my schedule in case some special needs require accomodation. One day in advance will suffice I have experience with all breeds, I'm very active and can adapt to your pet needs and schedules. I focus on one dog at a time
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 :) On weekdays, any time after 5pm I am available! I work part-time during the day from 9-12:30, so I can do drop in visits/dog walking between 12:30-2:30pm, and after 5pm! 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 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.
About: Every pet deserves a cool aunt: fun enough to keep things exciting, but organized enough to keep routines and bedtime strictly on schedule. With 16 years of hands-on care for friends, family, and neighbours, your animals get 100% of my dedicated attention, affection, and spoiling. I show up when things are tough and have experience in caring for pets of all ages and needs. You can expect patient, adaptable care tailored to their quirks, from brisk outdoor treks to quiet couch hangs, all backed by a keen eye for logistics, a reliable hatchback, timely photo updates, and complete peace of mind. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a reliable dinner-and-playtime drop-in, or just a calm human to keep them company while you’re gone, I’ve got them (and you!) covered. Fur, fins, feathers, and scales welcome! I work from home and have predictable, dedicated blocks open for pet care every day. Hire me and you'll get the dependability of someone with an established routine, paired with the flexibility to cover your pet’s needs: - Weekdays: 5:00 AM to noon and then anytime after 3:00 PM - Saturdays: Fully open for weekend hangs and adventures. - Sundays: Available 5:00 AM to 3PM (From now until early November 2026, Sunday after 3:00 PM are strictly reserved for theatrical clowning -- literally, no jokes). I provide care exclusively in your pet’s territory so their comfort and security are my top priorities. My goal is simple: your pet stays happy and stress-free in their own routine, and you come back to a home that is just as clean, and peaceful as you left it.
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.
“Shamika was absolutely incredible! As soon as I met her I knew my kitties were in good hands. I looked forward to her photos and check ins every day - she even played calming kitty music on YouTube for the cats! The next time I go away I’m definitely using Shamika again.”
“Shenley is amazing with my 4 pets (cats and dogs) we have had her look after our critters numerous occasions. Shenley is prompt at replying, we receive great communications about our pets, know they are really well taken care of and is always reliable. Thanks so much Shenley you are amazing 👏 🤩”

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.
“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.”
“Farah was great! She kept in touch with each visit. She asked great questions and showed concern when she noticed difference with Pentax. She played with Pentax during every visit and he seemed very comfortable with her. I will definitely try to book her in future as she did a great job!”
“Alexandra was wonderful with our little dog. She let her get to know her slowly and gently. I had no worries leaving for the day knowing she would be visiting a few times.”
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: I’ve have had 2 dogs in my life, one when I was a little kid, and the other I have now. I have also participated in taking care of 2 dogs of my parents friends. I’m currently unemployed, so I have lots of time to take care of pets! I will be available to to care of your pet at 11AM, by that time I would’ve already come back from walking my own dog, and the latest time I would be available should be 7:30PM I take lots of my pet dog, Sallie, as I walk three times a day, and feed her twice a day. I also try to play with her as much as I can
About: Hi my name is Bethany! I’m a registered nurse who works in Whitby and Oshawa and lives in Pickering. I can house sit or take your little family member for walks as needed. I’m available during the day to pop by or for overnight! Thank you for considering me and I hope to hear from you in the future! When working in Whitby I can pop out during my shifts but when in Oshawa I am unable to leave work so I try to mark those days as unavailable. I am not able to accommodate having pets in my home due to the two sassy ladies I have here. But I am able to accommodate coming to your home as needed.

Beth & Margaret are amazing! Their caring and concern are evident from the moment you meet them. They went over and above with my 2 cats and I could relax knowing they were in such good hands. Anyone who has them look after their pets should consider themselves lucky. I know I did.
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’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and would happily have her look after him again. 🐾❤️
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!
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. Nora showed such care, professionalism and put my mind at ease, knowing Bailey was well looked after. I highly recommend Nora for your dog sitting needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ajax is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $34 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 5,960 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
