About: I've been a dog lover for decades and dogs love my energy! I'm a happy dog parent of 1 and want to be able to help your dogs get the exercise they need. I have availability between 9am-10:30am on weekdays and 9am-7pm on weekends. I will keep my calendar updated if I have increased availability for holidays and special occasions. Attention to detail is my specialty and I'm happy to follow instructions left for caring for your dog during house visits. Every dog is different and I'm happy to learn all their quirks and habits!
“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. 🐾❤️”
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
“Carol did such an amazing job with our cats. Normally they are so nervous and skittish, but they were both overjoyed to see Carol whenever she stopped by. We had complete and utter faith that our precious kitties were well taken care of while we were away. Thank you so much Carol!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience with anxious dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and letting them build trust at their own pace. Because I work from home full-time, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. They’ll receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, enrichment, and walks throughout the day. Whether your pup loves adventure or prefers a slower, quieter routine, I’m happy to match their energy level and individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, with plenty of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible, 24/7 care and supervision. I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, meals, and medication if needed. Because my schedule is so flexible, I can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have lots of companionship, supervision, and frequent walks throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my senior dog, who is used to having canine company. Caring for an older, more sensitive dog has given me a great understanding of anxious pets and the importance of patience and consistency. I maintain a reliable routine while staying flexible to match your pet’s schedule and individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾
About: I have taken care of many family and friends dogs and cats before, sometimes for a few hours, but also for a week or more. Since I am semi-retired I have very flexible hours to care for you pets. Daytime walks are easy for me to fit in to my day since I currently don't work. No in home care provided at this time. I will treat your home and pets with respect and love as though they were my own.
“Hannah is amazing! She's the perfect mix of professional and sweet. She was quick to build a connection with my cats and gave me detailed updates after each visit. I'd recommend her to anyone!”
About: My 4 years (and counting!) of veterinary assistant experience make me an ideal candidate to be your Rover sitter as I am comfortable handling dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Caring for dogs at work is amazing, but I'm on Rover because I still can't get enough! My current job allows for lots of flexibility during most weekdays. I'm here to help you meet your pet's needs, even with your busy schedule! You can rest assured that my priority will always be your pet's wellbeing. If your pet is under my care, they will be treated as my own.
About: I am a lifelong pet lover who has been a proud owner of cats and dogs for over 15 years. My passion for animals began in childhood and has only grown stronger with time. I believe that pets are an integral part of the family and should be treated with love, respect, and care. Experience: I have owned pets for over 15 years and have extensive experience caring for cats and dogs. Throughout the years, I have provided my pets with daily exercise, proper nutrition, and plenty of affection. I have also dealt with various health issues and emergencies, including administering medication, treating wounds, and taking my pets to the vet. As a part-time pet sitter, I integrate pet care into my schedule by setting aside specific blocks of time each week to devote to my clients' pets. I make sure to communicate with pet owners about their pet's needs and schedule, so I can plan accordingly. For example, if a pet needs to be fed at a specific time, I will ensure that I am available during that window. I also try to be flexible and willing to work around the schedules of both the pet and the owner. Overall, while pet care is not my full-time job, I take my role and work hard to ensure that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure to create a safe and comfortable environment for them. This may include setting up a designated space for them to sleep, eat, and play, and ensuring that the area is clean and free of any potential hazards. I provide them with food and water as needed, and make sure that they receive plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. Depending on the pet, I may also need to administer medication or tend to any special needs they have. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner and make sure to maintain their routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them at the specified times, taking them for walks or playtime, and providing them with any necessary medication or treatment. I also make sure to keep the living space clean and tidy, including cleaning litter boxes or picking up after the pet on walks. Throughout my time with the pet, I provide them with love and attention to ensure that they feel comfortable and at ease in their surroundings. In both situations, I keep open communication with the pet owner to provide updates on how their pet is doing and address any concerns they may have. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the pets in my care and to ensure that their physical and emotional needs are met to the best of my ability.
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: Dogs and cats are naturally drawn to me, I have a very calm disposition and I am always down for a snuggle or a heavy duty play session! 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!
“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 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. I don't offer pet sitting services. It upsets the harmony of the pets that we already have. Thank you for your understanding on this matter.
“Cassandra took very good care of pearl for the 18 days we were away. Pearl got comfortable with her and seemed to enjoy her visits a lot. I would definitely want to rebook with Cassandra anytime in the future. Thanks a lot Cassandra!”
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: i’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since i was 10! i would feed them, walk them and play with them! i just love it! I’m currently unemployed .. so i’m available during the days and available during most nights, Sometimes i’m spending time with family or watching my nephews and Niece! I would care for pet in clients home. I would play with them, walk them/ let them out when needed and play ball if allowed by owner
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!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Ajax is $25

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. 🐾❤️
Carol was absolutely wonderful with our cats! They took to her so well, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. She has such a calm and caring nature, and it was clear that our cats felt comfortable with her. Carol was also very reliable and prompt with every visit, and we felt confident knowing they were in good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed cats. We would definitely recommend Carol and would happily have her care for them again! 🐾❤️
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!

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.
