About: I grew up with pets. Buster was our Boston Terrier, Sasha was our Schnauzer and Muffin was our little Toy Poodle. I absolutely love all dogs but prefer to care for smaller breeds. My husband and I have had several cats over our 36 years together. I am comfortable giving oral medications, to willing pets. I am recently retired so have some free time to give care and cuddles. I would be available to come for visits through day, after 10 am. I am flexible though, so alternate times could be discussed if need be. Pets need activity and love and I would give your's both, be it playing in the yard, short walks or just some cuddles. I would ensure that food is provided in the proper amount, as directed by you, fresh water available, and any accidents/messes cleaned up.
About: Very familiar and comfortable with taking care of dogs - I’m a registered veterinary technician who works full time at a vet hospital, I used to be a kennel attendant at a canine boarding facility + doggy daycare, and my family has had dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I currently work full time Monday-Friday at a veterinary hospital, but daily at-home visits, walks, or weekend stays are feasible for me. I’m available Fridays after 3pm until Monday mornings. Daily at-home visits and/or walks can be tailored to specific needs for each pet I always try to ensure the pet feels comfortable with me in their space, I usually like to meet them with their owner first, and building a connection with both owner and pet is a priority to me. Aside from the basics of ensuring they get adequate amounts of time outside either through a fenced yard or on a walk, having water available at all times, sticking to a feeding schedule, I also try to ensure owners are in-touch and informed while away from their pet - I enjoy sending updates and photos to owners so they can see what their pet is up to.
About: Hi! My name is Megan and I have always been passionate about animals. I have taken care of a cat for a year and fell in love with taking care of other's pets. While I watched this cat, I made sure to play with her, clean her and her litterbox, and take her to appointments. I am reliable, responsible, friendly, and easy to communicate with. I follow directions explicitly, keep spaces clean, and am incredibly flexible. I would love to get to know you, your pets, and help out in any way I can! I am a graduate student at Western University. Outside of classes and occassional meetings, my work is largely remote and can be done anywhere. This means I am incredibly flexible and can easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I would provide excellent care to pets in your home. I am clean, responsible, and can follow directions explicitly. I am available to stay for long periods of time and can meet any needs your animal may have.
About: Always passionate to babysit puppies and adult dogs for my friends and family. I also have knowledge and 2 year experience about dog behavior training. Weekdays before 10am and after 4pm. Flexible on weekend and holidays. I have a flexible working schedule so I could accommodate if needed on workdays. Will take them out as frequent as needed (typically more frequent with puppies) Happy to take your pet to dog parks and go social with others.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with them. I’m active, responsible, and dependable, and I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care while keeping them safe and happy. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions you have. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I’m currently a student at Western University and have a flexible class schedule, which gives me plenty of time throughout the week for dog walking and pet care. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s regular routine. I also have several days with large breaks between classes, making daytime walks easy to accommodate. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding walking routes, routines, behaviour, or special needs. During walks, I’ll keep a safe distance from other dogs unless you tell me otherwise, as I understand that not every dog is comfortable around other pets and we can’t always predict how another dog will react. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention while always keeping their safety first.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to different family members (small, medium, and large breeds). I have experience with dogs and love them but my cat would terrorize them, so this would be ideal for me to have the interaction I crave with these furry babies! I have plenty of time for your dog/cat needs, my schedule is fairly open usually and I’m ok spending more than one night if needed with a few days notice. I love animals and understand when/if they need something especially with a little direction for specific things from their parent. I pay attention to detail and I’m punctual and most of all, I love pets. I will be so happy to look after your furry babies.
“Anastasija was great with my kitty cat, Issac. He’s a little shy, so he doesn’t come out for everyone, but when Anastasija came over to meet him, he greeted her immediately. We didn’t even have to lure him with a Churu. A true cat whisperer! Anastasija did an amazing job pet-sitting Issac. Not only did he feel comfortable and safe with her, she provided plenty of playtime and affection. And she made sure everything was nice and clean when I got back from my trip. I’m super grateful to have come across Anastasija, and I would absolutely recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of, walked, fed, and watched my dogs throughout my life. I have four dogs currently, they’re the best! Whenever my family goes out of town, I watch the dogs for a few days. I’m in charge of giving the dogs their medications, feeding them, walking them etc. I would love to help others looking for someone to watch or walk their dog(s). I am in grad school every morning during the week except Friday. I’m free afternoons during the week most days and most weekends. If you’d like a more detailed schedule, I can discuss that with you because sometimes I have appointments or meetings during the week. I won’t be able to bring your dog to my house, but I would be happy to watch your dog at your place! I will ensure your dog has fresh water, food at mealtimes, I will let him or her outside frequently, walk your dog, play with them, and spend time with them.

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 Bryanston 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 Bryanston 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 Bryanston 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.
