“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!”

“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!”

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: 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.
“Sarah looked after my babies from Dec 22-Jan 1st. She was amazing. My two babies were so content with her. I highly recommend choosing Sarah to look after your fur babies.”

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: 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 :) I currently work part time from 11-1 every day at an elementary school, but any time before or after that, I am available! 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: 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 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.

“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.”


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".

Elizabeth and Margaret are cat whisperers 😻 super sweet and caring. Spent extra time with our kitties. Took their time getting to know our shy cat. We received lots of picture and video updates which really helped set my mind at ease that my babies are well cared for while we are away. Thank you 😺

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!
