“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.”

“Carol took care of our 4 cats for the first time. It was just fantastic! Her pics, messages showed she really cares for animals. We were only doing a ‘test’ run but looks like we can go for longer holidays soon!! Thank you Carol :)”

About: I was a proud dog parent for 12 years and have experience caring for pups through every life stage—from playful puppies to loving seniors. Whether your dog is small, medium, or large, I understand how important regular exercise, routine, and socialization are to their well being. I’m so glad you’re considering me to look after your furry family member when you can’t be there—they’ll be in caring, capable hands. I am available on weekdays for walks or drop in visits and weekends by request, providing your furry family member with dedicated, one-on-one attention and care. Whether it’s a daily walk for fresh air and exercise or a drop-in visit to feed, play with, and give some cozy cuddle time, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels happy, safe, and loved. I’m happy to tailor my care to match your pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs whether they’re a playful pup, a curious kitty, or a professional napper.
About: I grew up on a farm with tons of animals in Port Hope🐑! So I have lots of experience with pet care and livestock. I have also been dog walking and pet sitting for 5 years outside of Rover. I’ve cared for many senior dogs, and have a lot of experience with different energy level breeds. (For boarding I will only take small dogs under 40lbs) I’m still in school, but I’m free after 12PM on weekdays, and all day on weekends. Please message me so we can find a schedule that works best for you and your pet :) For pet sitting, I am super detail oriented and personally feed my cat raw, so I can be trusted with home-made food and commercial. As I have a very anxious cat, I prefer to not pet sit at my house.
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 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. I have a fenced yard and a safe, comfortable home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel cared for. I always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable.
“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!”

“This was my first time using this service. Zoe did a wonderful job getting to know my dog. She took really good care of her and stayed in touch to set my mind at ease the entire time. Thanks Zoe till next time.”

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.
About: I am frequently at home and have a small dog of my own, which has given me a strong appreciation for providing attentive, consistent care. I have regularly supported friends and family by caring for their pets while they were away or working extended hours, and I always make a point to share updates and photos of our time together. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and ensuring they receive the extra attention, exercise, and affection they need. My previous experience working in a veterinary clinic has also equipped me with valuable knowledge and confidence in handling and caring for pets. I am located near a forest trail, offering a great environment for dogs to run, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I would be happy to provide your pet with the care, activity, and attention they deserve. Thank you for your consideration. I am currently working part time so I am able to spend more time with your fur baby. I will not be rushed through their walk or their time together. Each one of them deserve the attention and love needed. I make sure that nothing is exposed or dangerous around, and that I know where they are at all time. If they have a bed, I like to have them exposed to the same area
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
“Cassandra was a wonderful sitter for our kitten Maisie while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. She provided terrific updates and photos of all the fun activities that she and Maisie got up to. It was clear that Maisie was very well looked after and I would definitely use Cassandra's services again.”

About: I like to think I’m basically a part-time pet butler, part-time best friend, and full-time treat dispenser. 🐾 I’m great with puppies who are still figuring out that shoes are not chew toys, and I have lots of patience for senior pets who prefer slow strolls, extra cuddles, and VIP-level care. I’m comfortable with giving medications, sticking to routines, and adjusting to each pet’s unique personality—whether they’re a zoomies champion or a professional couch potato. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and maybe just a little spoiled while you’re away! Honestly, pet care fits into my routine better than most humans do. 🐾😂 My day happily revolves around walk schedules, feeding times, play breaks, and making sure every pet gets their daily dose of love (and probably a few extra treats). I’m totally fine with early morning potty patrols, midday zoomie supervision, and evening cuddle shifts. Spending time with animals is the best part of my week—they’re cuter, funnier, and way less likely to cancel plans last minute! I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and right at home—whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own kingdom. 🐾 My home has a decent-sized fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe playtime, zoomies, and supervised sunbathing sessions. Inside, there’s plenty of cozy space for naps, cuddles, and keeping up with their normal routine. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their feeding schedules, walks, medications, and favorite habits—because I know pets like their routines almost as much as they like treats. My goal is always happy pets, clean spaces, and making sure your furry friend feels spoiled in the best way possible!
About: What sets me apart is the level of attentiveness, structure, and emotional care I bring to every pet. I’m calm, patient, and highly observant, which helps me quickly understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with puppies (potty routines, basic training reinforcement, leash skills) and senior dogs (gentle handling, medication routines, slower walks, and comfort-focused care). I treat every pet as if they’re my own, with consistency, safety, affection, and respect for their unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I work part-time from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins, and I can adapt easily to each pet’s unique schedule and needs. I prioritize safety, calm, and trust in every environment. In my home, pets are cared for in a clean, quiet, and secure space with constant supervision, structured routines, and plenty of affection. In clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions closely, maintain consistency in routines, and respect each pet’s habits and comfort zones. I’m attentive to health, behavior, and emotional well-being, and I communicate clearly with owners for peace of mind. My goal is always to create a safe, stress-free, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for over 10 years. I have experience with separation anxiety and reactive dogs. I have also worked with other animals like bunnies, guinea pigs, and fish. I have experience with puppies and seniors as well. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I split it into morning and evening tasks. Mornings involve feeding, walking, checking litter boxes, refilling water, etc. And my evenings include walking, feeding, and any cleaning tasks. I provide care at my clients residence. Depending on the type of building it is (house or apartment) care will vary. In a house it often includes time in backyard, inside play, walks, and extended time with the pet. In an apartment it will include play time inside, lots of walks, time on balcony (depends on apartment and pet), making sure blinds are open to provide sunlight, and extended time with the pet.
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.
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for cats, I understand their behavior, boundaries, and individual personalities. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats and attentive to those who need more engagement and play. I’m comfortable administering medications, maintaining spotless litter boxes, and ensuring a clean, low-stress environment. My science background helps me recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, so I can respond early if something seems off. I focus on calm, respectful care—earning your cat’s trust while keeping them comfortable, clean, and well-cared for in your absence. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I’m available nearly full-time—including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and evenings. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care, ensuring they receive consistent attention, timely feeding, play, and any required medications. Because I maintain a flexible schedule, I can accommodate last-minute bookings, extended stays, and visits at times that best suit your pet’s routine—keeping their environment stable and stress-free. I prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I follow your routine closely—feeding schedules, medication, litter or enclosure maintenance, and preferred play styles—to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to safety details like secure doors, hazard-free spaces, and proper handling during feeding or medication. I also respect boundaries, especially for shy or rescue animals, and never force interaction. With my experience and science background, I stay alert to subtle behavioral or health changes and act promptly if anything seems off. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels safe and your home is respected while you’re away.

I am grateful for Khadija! I felt my cat was safe & happy with her drop ins. She took care of everything & ensured he was well looked after, left spaces very clean. I love that she provided a check in & some pictures while away! Will certainly rebook in the future!

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!

Beth and Margaret were spectacular, treating our home with complete respect. We got daily photos and videos showing playtime with our cat and reassuring us that he was doing just fine during our long trip. We could tell he had been well looked-after, and he was thrilled to see us on our return! I would enthusiastically use Beth and Margaret's service again, and would happily recommend them to anyone needing a similar service.

This is the second time Christina helped us with our 2 kitties while we were away. We are so happy that we chose Christina. She is amazing. Christina is wonderful with our 2 cats, the daily updates are very detailed and give us peace of mind that our kitties are well taken care of.
