“Repeat client here! 👋🏻 Michelle is an ideal home/dog sitter and this is our 2nd time using her services. Her communication, attention to detail and overall care for both our chihuahuas and our home has been excellent and deeply appreciated!”

“Peter did an excellent job taking care of my dog. He is a large high energy Shepard-husky mix which can be difficult to manage. We would definitely hire Peter again and recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter for their pets.”
About: I have taken care of pets since the age of 10. I have experience with dog sitting, cat sitting, dog walking, as well as caring for my own dog and cats. I have experience training puppies. I love animals and will care for them as if they were my own! I’m currently a student and work part-time, which gives me some extra flexibility to spend time caring for pets! I love being outdoors, going for long walks, and enjoying playtime with pets. My schedule is quite flexible, and I’m available most weekends, making it easy to accommodate different routines and needs. I’d love the opportunity to give your pet plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship while you’re away! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I take the time to learn their routine, personality, preferences, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and other routines. In your home, I’ll also be respectful of your space and keep things clean and tidy. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels happy and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of my own dog for 5 years, I have dog-sat and cat-sat for my friends, and I am currently in school for a veterinary assistant program which I love! *I do not do overnight house-sitting but I can house-sit for several hours in a day. *female clients only for safety purposes *fees are calculated on an individual basis. I will take into account the CRA’s kilometric rate when commuting to/from your house, Rover’s 20% cut, commute time, how long I am staying at your house or how long the walk(s) is, and your pet’s age/needs/behaviour/temperament I’m currently in school full time but I’m half in-person, half-online, and I have Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays off, with Friday classes ending at 1pm. When I’m with your pet, I will walk them, play with them, take them out for bathroom breaks, feed them, cuddle with them, and make them feel super loved and comfortable. I can give them their medications if you leave instructions on what to do!
About: People often say I grew up in a zoo because we had so many pets. Dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, hermit crabs...you name it. Unfortunately due to my often unpredictable work schedule I no longer have time to properly maintain a small zoo but I still crave pet playtime time and would love to care for yours when I can. Our home is small but we make up for it with our sizeable yard and live near farmland which makes for good walks. We have a 1 year old daughter who loves animals as well. Cats are her favorite but once she gets used to new dogs she's a huge fan of them too. We can’t wait to meet some of your wonderful furbabies! I am currently working part time and as such have some free time on my hands which I am looking to fill with activities that will get me out of the house and keep me active. It is possible I might have to work during your pet's stay but I am open to discussing that with any prospective clients to ensure I will be a good fit. I have a large outdoor yard and our home is surrounded by farmland which makes for some good long walks. Pets under my care are welcome to roam freely unless crating requested (crates must be provided by client). Mealtimes, walks, and potty breaks provided in accordance with client's request and/or my availability.

About: I have grown up with various pets. I have experience caring for all size dogs. Have experience with special need care/elderly dogs. I can provide medications. I work Monday to Wednesday in office. Thursday and Friday from home. I am able to walk your pets in the afternoon/evenings and boarding on Fridays to Sunday. I offer a safe smoke free space. There are 3 children in the home 4,7 and 9. We live in a townhouse with a fenced backyard. In close proximity to a large park.
“Emma did a fantastic job of watching after our animals while we were gone on vacation. She sent us lots of daily updates and pics to keep us at ease while we were away. We'll definitely be using Emma again in the future.”

About: When I lived with my parents, I always helped take care of our dog, we’ve had this dog for over 10 years. He is a Maltese, I don’t live with my parents anymore and I miss having a pet around. I would take him on 2 walks daily. I would bathe him when needed, feed him all the time and let him outside every 1-2 hours. I’ve taken care of my friend’s dog when she went away on vacation. I am a university student, I am available Tuesdays and Fridays after 2:00pm. I am also available both days of the weekend at any time. I can put your dog on his/her leash to go do their business every 1-2 hours. I will take your dog for a nice 30 minute walk twice a day. I am comfortable working with both small and large breeds.
“Casey stayed with my 2 year old poodle Baxter for a three day stay recently. She came recommended by my friend which is always a great bonus. She took excellent care of my little buddy and also left my place very neat and tidy. She’s a great communicator and followed Baxter’s scheduled walk routine keeping him exercised and happy. I’m already booking her again for a future stay in April! I would definitely recommend Casey to anyone looking for an in home dog sitter.”

About: I have cared for dogs since I was a young child and have experience with walking breeds of all sizes - Chihuahuas to Great Danes! Whether you dog is a cuddly and just needs some love and attention, a good round of tug-of-war, or a quick jog to burn off some energy I would be happy to provide the same high level of care for your pup as I do for my own dog, Stella. I am free early mornings on some weekdays and most week nights. I have more flexibility with weekends to suit your needs! Want to get in early to practice that presentation at work? Need to suddenly visit family? Or do you just need a break or a date night? I have got you covered! You don't need to stress about your dog(s) on top of everything else life is throwing at you! You can provide me with as detailed instructions as you would like. Details and following instructions are my forte and I promise your dog(s) will be looked after exactly as you please! And if I have any questions about anything I will always follow-up before your booking to confirm details.
About: I have six years of experience owning and caring for a cat, which has helped me understand how important patience, consistency, and attention are when looking after animals. I genuinely love pets and want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am happy to follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, walks, and companionship, depending on the service you book. I understand that every pet has a different personality and will respect their individual needs and boundaries. I will carefully follow your instructions and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you are away. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness will always be a priority. Pet care is my main priority and daily focus, giving me complete flexibility to dedicate full time and attention to your pet. My schedule allows me to easily accommodate routine feeding, outdoor playtime, regular walks, and house sitting. Because my daily routine is open and adaptable, I am able to stay fully present, stick strictly to your pet's regular habits, and provide frequent updates throughout the day. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. When house sitting or doing drop-in visits, I maintain a secure, clean environment by strictly following all home and entry security instructions. I double-check that doors, gates, and windows are locked before and after every outdoor break. I ensure all toxic items, foods, and household hazards are kept safely out of reach, and I keep dogs securely leashed during all walks and outdoor activities. I respect your home as if it were my own and keep you continuously updated with daily photo check-ins.
“Mark did a great job keeping my big dogs well cared for and in good company. He kept me updated with photos and videos which made being away from my dogs much easier. I highly recommmend!!”

“Becky did a good job with my cat. She showed her lots of love and affection and played with her daily. She communicated every day with updates, pics and video calls. She showed up on time and was flexible and patient with some unforseen travel disruptions. I felt comfortable having her in my home and would have her back. Thanks Becky!”

About: Since a young age, I have been exposed to dogs as my mother was a vet technician (now retired) in the Durham Region community. Since then, I have developed a love for dogs and I am always looking for an opportunity to spend time with dogs. From 2006 to present, I have been lucky enough to look after four dogs of my own that were really truly a member of the family and enjoyed looking after them. As a dog sitter, I am available to dog sit for those exciting vacations that you hope to take or simply walk your dog during those busy days at home or at work! For my availability, contact me for more information! I look forward to hearing from you soon! I am currently working part time in the retail industry while in university full time, so my schedule may be different from time to time. My availability can be discussed to fit your pet’s needs! At my client’s home, I will always be there for your pet! When we aren’t taking a walk outside, I like to sit and relax with your pet with a book or watching television. If your pet wants to go outside, we will do that, play fetch or just spend time outside and enjoy the weather!
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 experience, I offer dedicated, 1-on-1 care designed for pet parents who want complete, attentive peace of mind. Because I work remotely with a self-directed schedule, your animals receive my focused presence, affection, and spoiling all in the comfort of their own home, with zero household drama. What you can expect: Exclusive, Attentive Care: I book one household at a time. Whether your pet thrives on brisk outdoor treks, strict medication routines, or quiet company on the couch, their specific pace and quirks run the day. Type-A Home & Pet Logistics: Backed by a reliable hatchback, meticulous home-security habits, and proactive communication, you'll always know the doors are locked, schedules are held, and your pet is thriving. Whether you need high-touch overnight house sitting, an energetic walking partner, or dedicated drop-in visits, I've got them (and you!) covered. Fur, fins, feathers, and scales welcome! I work remotely in a self-directed career, giving me predictable routines paired with broad flexibility for my pet clients. Dedicated Daily Pet Care Windows: Available weekdays from 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and anytime after 3:00 PM for walks, drop-ins, and dinner routines. Overnight House Sitting: House-sitting guests receive dedicated focus and primary scheduling priority. While I maintain brief standing walking blocks locally around 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, multi-day overnight bookings take precedence: inquire with your dates and location, and I will tailor my itinerary around your pet's needs. Weekends: Fully open for weekend stays, hangs, and adventures. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s familiar territory, keeping their comfort, routine, and home security front and center. My goal is discretion and seamless continuity: your pet stays happy and stress-free on their own schedule, and you return to a home that is just as clean, secure, and peaceful as you left it. I treat your space with meticulous care, doors and locks are always verified, alarms are set as instructed, and entry details remain completely confidential. Meals, medications, and bedtime rituals are followed to the letter so daily life never feels disrupted, while outdoor time is focused on controlled, attentive, on-leash safety with zero risky encounters. Throughout every stay, you can count on proactive communication, detailed updates, and photos every step of the way so you always have total peace of mind
“Our dog Willow has anxiety issues and had never been looked after by a non-family member before. Jan was so great with her and Willow took to her right away. Jan kept us in the loop with pictures and updates on how Willow was doing and that helped alleviate our anxiety about leaving her. Willow had a great time at Jan's house and we will definitely use her again in the future. Highly recommend!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashburn
Raeanne did phenomenal with our boys again! Thank you so much for watching our fur babies, while Adam and I were away for our wedding! Knowing we had someone trust worthy made us feel amazing, especially since we’d be very sparsely reachable on the day of the wedding. Thank you so much for being so amazing with our boys!!

Ginny was absolutely amazing! She house sat for us and took such great care of our Golden Retriever Buddy while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. She kept us updated almost every day with photos and videos, which meant the world to us and made being away so much easier. You can truly tell how much she cares—not just about the pets, but about the whole experience. We also came home to a spotless house, which was such a nice touch. Everything was exactly as we left it (if not better!). I would highly recommend Ginny to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive. We would absolutely have her back again without hesitation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ashburn maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ashburn walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Ashburn 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
