“Abbey was great! She came to do a meet and greet right away before we booked. Communication was flawless and she took such good care of my babies! Will definitely rebook with her again!”

“Nicole was great with my kitties, they are so shy and scared around strangers. Booking drop in visits was very easy and she was very communicative always sending pics and updates. I would have no problem recommending Nicole and using her services for my kitties again.”


About: I have not only taken care of my own dogs since i was a child but I have also taken care of family and friends dogs for many years. Dogs are special and have my heart. I am currently not working and have the time to spend with your fur babies so they have some company when waiting for you to come home I will be happy to come to your home where you're fur babies feel safe and let them out to use the bathroom and spend a little time with them and make sure they're having a good day
About: This is our first time getting on Rover but both my husband and I are pet parents and frequently pet sit for a number of friends and family when they travel. I’m an experienced pet parent with two dogs of my own, aged 5 and 6. They’re very friendly and loving and I am very familiar with the care, routine and attention dogs need every day. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level — I am happy to follow your instructions closely to make sure they’re happy and settled. Your pet will have plenty of space and attention with me. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard, giving dogs some space to play and get some fresh air. It’s a non-smoking household and because I live with my husband and mother-in-law, someone will always be home and your pet won’t be left alone for longer than 20 mins if at all. I’m comfortable providing them with regular walks and potty breaks. My dogs are given pee breaks every 4 hours and two walks in the morning and at night right before we sleep. I’m also comfortable with maintaining consistent feeding schedules, playtime, and providing oral medication (what’s not in the list is obvious but I’m also great at cuddles and companionship). My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the pack when staying with us. I work a full time job but I’m mostly remote (I’m lucky). So I’m home throughout and able to give pets plenty of attention and regular breaks. My own dogs are already part of my daily routine with walks, feeding, playtime, and endless cuddles built in. On the rare occasion that I need to go into the office (like once a month but it’s very rare), my husband is home and helps care for the dogs. He is an equally attentive and loving pet parent so your fur baby will have someone around them to keep them safe, loved and cared for. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is in a safe space. I have used rover to find sitters for my dogs too and it’s a top priority. Is the house truly dog friendly - no slippery floors, food lying around, chocolate wrappers, sharp edges… I scan for the little things. That is the exact level of attention I put into my home to make sure my dogs (and yours) are comfortable. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard so dogs can enjoy some outdoor time without having the risk of them wandering off. Our home is non-smoking and you can be sure that someone will always be in the house with the dogs, at all times. Before a stay, I’m happy to learn about your dogs routine, personality, feeds, comfort level, and any special instructions so I can keep their experience as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m also very mindful of introductions between dogs so I can make sure every pet feels comfortable and has the space they need. Most importantly, I want you to have complete peace of mind when you’re away. So if you like, I’ll keep you updated with messages, photos, and videos (I personally like these) and follow your instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home.
“Esten is such a great help! He was able to help us with our dog after she broke her leg and had an ulcer in her eye. He was able to administer her drops/meds all while playing with her and making sure she had water and went out. Great sitter!”

About: Hi there, My name is Jena. I am a female 30 old who lives in Bowmanville. I work in the education system and enjoys her summers off.

I previously use to live in Pickering and used Rover while I was off in the summer and loved it! I figured I’d try it out in my new city and explore the area. In some of my photos you will see my family dog Teddy who is a German shepherd and Golden retriever mix as well as Pica who is the small dog mix with pug and unknown! These animals are not located with me, they are with my family. Pet care is easily fire into my schedule because I am off for the summer as I work in the school board. It provides me flexibility I make sure I read all instructions, care and expectations for the animal I am caring for. I will make sure the dog is safely walked, watched for and cared for. I ensure the spaces I am in are de cluttered and carefully watch for anything your pet may want to eat!

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and a proud dog mom to a beautiful, extremely friendly and social Bernedoodle who knows over 10 tricks (he’s basically a little genius).

Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels at home and happy. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind. That’s why I’m big on photo updates, daily check-ins, and keeping you in the loop. Can’t wait to meet your furry best friend Pet care fits perfectly into my routine—I work from home, so I’m around all day to give dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks.

I do slow, supervised introductions with my own friendly, well-trained dog and stick to each pup’s routine to help them feel at home.

“My puppy Bella has recurring visits with Russell and we both love it. I love the Rover Report Card with all the details and pictures. It is like I am there! Bella seems to enjoy her break times with Russell. He accomodates last minute instructions and is very attentive to her!!!”

“Emma took care of our two short hair tabby cats as drop-in visits for 8 days. She was very patient with them and they became friendly with her fairly quickly. I would rebook her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of all animals, from dogs and cats to horses. I have a big backyard and love to walk and have experience administering medications. I work full time, but am available for walks and evening visits, as well as weekend boarding. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can be available anytime after 3pm during the week. I have a big yard for your pet to run around it, and can crate your dog if needed. This is also a pet free home.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep connection with animals, developed from caring for pets since the age of 6. Over the years, I’ve become attuned to the subtle behaviors of both dogs and cats, which helps me understand their needs and emotions. My natural empathy allows me to quickly bond with pets, making them feel comfortable and secure under my care. Additionally, I have experience with pets of all ages—from playful puppies and energetic kittens to senior pets with special care requirements. I am patient and attentive, whether it’s handling specific dietary needs, administering medications, or providing gentle care for older pets. With over 20 years of experience, I’m well-versed in ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for in my hands. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine with ease. This allows me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day, whether it's regular feeding, playtime, or walks. My experience managing both household and pet responsibilities means I’m well-organized and can adapt to the needs of your pets, ensuring they feel loved and cared for. With a structured yet flexible schedule, I’m able to give your pets the time and attention they deserve, making sure they are happy and comfortable while you're away. In my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced yard for safe play, along with a variety of toys for both dogs and cats, including scratch posts. I can crate pets if needed, and my well-lit living space offers big windows perfect for birdwatching. Your pets will also have daily access to a fountain with fresh water to ensure they are well hydrated during their stay. For dogs, I often take them to a nearby dog park for extra exercise and socialization. Whether it’s playtime, a park trip, or relaxing indoors, I provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for your pets.
“Tricia is been so responsible and left on us very positive impact. She took care of our cat very well and she was punctual responsible and very caring. I will definitely use her services again and also recommend other to try.”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I helped raise my childhood dog from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me firsthand experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels. Since I work remotely, I've also had the pleasure of caring for dogs for family and friends, and I always enjoy having a four-legged coworker during the day. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I'll treat your pup like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work remotely in a flexible role, which allows me to easily adapt to your dog's regular routine and needs. Whether your pup is used to scheduled walks, specific mealtimes, frequent potty breaks, or extra playtime, I'm able to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Because I'm home during working hours, your dog will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible while you're away. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I live on a quiet one-acre property in the countryside, which makes walks and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. I'm also within walking distance of a great local park that dogs love exploring. My home is a spacious bungalow, so there's plenty of room for your pup to relax, play, and make themselves comfortable. Since everything is accessible on the main floor, it's also a great setup for senior dogs or those who aren't fans of stairs. If your dog is crate-trained, I have lots of space to accommodate their crate as well. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I'll do my best to stick to what they're used to—whether that's specific mealtimes, regular walks, play sessions, or just lots of attention and cuddles. My goal is to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bowmanville is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,244 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Bowmanville. About 86% of Bowmanville 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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Bowmanville 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 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

- 92% can help with daily exercise
