“We booked Sarah only a week out from our trip (due to another sitter cancelling) and she was great with coming for a meet and greet within a couple of days. Our 2 dogs took to her immediately and her communication was really good. She provided regular updates and stuck to the dogs’ routine which we very much appreciated. We will definitely book Sarah again for any future sittings, highly recommend.”
“Robyn did an amazing job looking over my two pups for the long weekend ! Followed instructions and also took pictures of my dogs every day for me ! Definitely recommend using her !”
“Naomi was fantastic with our big boy! From the beginning she was easy to communicate with and after meeting her we felt very comfortable not only leaving our dog under her care but also our house. She took fantastic care of our boy and was super adaptable to his needs and we could tell that he absolutely adored her! We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Very enjoyable person, our dog RB took to her immediately. She sent us photos and reassured us during the time we were away . Will ask for again when the time comes.”
“Tony was absolutely fantastic when it came to watching my dog Stella! He sent lots of pictures to update me, he was able to accommodate us super last minute, he had great communication and followed all the instructions! Stella really took a liking to him and you can tell he has a genuine love for dogs. I would 100% recommend Tony to anyone looking for a dog sitter that truly cares about the comfort of your dog!”
About: I bring a calm, attentive presence and years of experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. What sets me apart is my intuitive approach, ability to read animal behavior, and commitment to keeping pets comfortable in their own routines. I’m patient, observant, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and loving space for every animal I care for. I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule, which means I have ample time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide regular walks, companionship, and consistent attention throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals,it’s one of the best parts of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medication (if needed), and preferred sleeping arrangements. I take the time to build trust, using a calm and patient approach that helps animals feel secure. In clients’ homes, I treat the space with respect and keep things clean and tidy. I also provide regular updates so owners can relax knowing their pets are in good hands.

“We had Rachel house sit for us last week and were very satisfied with her services. The house was clean as we leave it and the dogs were well taken care of. She gave us frequent updates and pictures and through communicating we knew she understood them. Highly recommend Rachel as as a sitter.”
“Lyra was, without a doubt, the most skilled, patient and friendly dog sitter (and trainer!!!) we have EVER had. Our dogs adored her, and she went above and beyond to train our new rescue dog, working on his fears, barking and leash pulling. I didn’t worry once about either dog, we were updated frequently with pics and training progress, and we came home to HAPPY, brushed dogs and a spotlessly clean house. I can’t recommend Lyra enough!!! Amazing.”
“We had Robbin take care of our dog for 10 days. She did a wonderful job caring for him! He was content and happy when we came home. She kept our home tidy and clean and even washed our sheets so our bed was ready for us to sleep in. We would definitely love to use her again!”
“Rilyn stayed with our dog for two weeks while we away and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house. Her communication was excellent and always prompt. Highly, highly recommend!!”
About: I have owned cats, dogs, and exotic pets my whole life. I am no stranger to anxious dogs, pets with strict schedules, or administering medication. Spending time with animals is when I am happiest! I am not currently working so I am available all times for care. I can come early in the morning, late at night, and anything in between! I respect all pets and their own schedules. I am happy to spend all my time playing or snuggling with your dog, or I can keep my distance so they just have some company. Whatever your animal’s needs are always comes first.
About: I was lucky enough to share 15 years with my dog Kaya, raising her from a 2-month-old pup until her final day. I personally trained her, including off-leash walking, and cared for her through every life stage - from the high energy puppy phase to her senior years. I've had dogs in my life since i was very young and I very much enjoy their company - whether its going for long walks or just hanging out at home. I am currently in the process of a career change and am in school full time, working part time and am looking to fill my time with something i love doing! Pet care fits easily into my lifestyle. I’ve recently stepped away from full-time work to focus on full time studies, which means I’m home and available much more often. Currently, I only work weekends on an alternating schedule of days and evenings, leaving me with plenty of open time during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At my home, pets are welcome to relax with me in the living room or rest in my room if they prefer a quieter space. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I can make up for it with plenty of outdoor time. I live close to the river valley walking trails and nearby dog parks. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means structured walks, supervised play, or quiet downtime. I take precautions to ensure pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I’m committed to keeping them on their regular feeding, exercise, and care routines. For clients who prefer care in their own home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Building trust—both with pets and their people—is at the heart of how I provide care.
“Amber did a great job of looking after our dog. Who has limited mobility and a routine of meds. She sent us pictures of their time together. Also sent texts letting us know how things were going. Would definitely book again.”
“Danica's 2-week stay with our border terrier gave us peace of mind during our trip. She was quick to pick up on all the details we provided and even thought to check on a few we missed. Whenever we were looking for an update, she sent a clear and concise message. We returned to a tidy dust-free home with squeaky clean floors and nicely shoveled walks. Thanks, Danica, for such good care of Bobbin and our home!”
“We are so luckily to have met Danica! Our fur baby can be quite reactive and not do well with strangers. But with Danica's love, patience and expertise for animals our dog Mowgli had no issues with her. She took it super slow with him and made sure to watch for any clues that Mowgli wasn't comfortable and by the second night Mowgli was already snuggling with her feet! Can't wait to book her again soon.”
About: Hi there! I’ve been told I am the BEST babysitter ever, so now it’s time to share my skills in the animal world. I am happy to check-in and/or take your large, small or 3 legged pup for fast, slow, long or short walks. I also have a pet safe home, yard and dog park nearby that can be your pups home away from home, if they need a place to stay! I’ve taken hundreds of photos of my own dogs, so it’s likely you’ll be getting a photo of your own on my way in and out or throughout the day if they are staying with me. I have a little human at home that will also give your pup a bountiful amount of love under supervision and with boundaries. I know what it’s like to be at work/school full time and stressing about your pet or needing to leave for a trip and be worrying if your pup is in good hands. I’d like to alleviate your (and your pups) stress by utilizing my flexible schedule. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs and positive reinforcement. I take feline friends on a case to case basis. Contact me to book! If this is your first time booking, please feel free to use my link for $20 off: https://www.rover.com/ambas-refer-a-friend/Q9beoxkA I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to tend to your fav furry family member! I am usually at home or home often throughout the day running errands within a few km distance. I have a fenced yard, a dog park and a toddler to keep your pup busy and loved! If they are boarding with me I will have your pup on a standard schedule or one that you suggest!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bon Accord 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 Bon Accord 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 Bon Accord 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
