“This was the first time that I have used the services of Rover. I met Carol prior to using her services to care for Jazzy my cat. Right away I felt she was a great fit. Jazzy my cat requires medication twice a day and regular feeding. Carol always was on time and sent me great updates and photos of Jazzy after every visit. It gave me such great peace of mind knowing that Jazzy was in great hands. Thank you Carol. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Alex has been a really good, really reliable dog sitter. Very easy to contact, very personable, and I definitely trust her with my dogs. She was always on time, responsible with keeping an eye on the dogs, locking up my house and their crate afterwards, and giving a ton of love to my dogs. Would definitely recommend, and I’ll be continuing to receive services from her for a long while coming. Thanks Alex!”

“We loved having Zehra drop in to care for our cats! When we did a meet and greet she was very kind, asked all the right questions to get to know our cats personalities, and was very understanding of our unique situation! I always looked forward to her updates after her visits, she is so thorough with the information she provides, and it’s obvious by the way she writes about our cats and their time together that she enjoys being with them!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ajax
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter to look after our four cats while we were away on a family vacation than Elizabeth and Margaret! They went above and beyond to make sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They would stop by with toys and treats, spend quality time with them, and give them lots of love, affection and play time. It was so reassuring knowing that our cats were not only being fed and looked after, but were also getting plenty of attention and companionship while we were away. They were reliable, caring, and clearly genuinely love animals. We came home to four very happy cats, and it was obvious they had been spoiled in the best possible way. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets. We’ll definitely be booking with them 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 for Pet Sitting in Ajax on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,809 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.
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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
