“We booked Sam for Christmas holidays as we were going away for a few days. She was really punctual and friendly from the very beginning of the booking process. Sam came around to meet us and our cat. She’s really good with shy kitties and did a brilliant job in every visit. She maintained contact while we were away, sending regular updates with pictures. This gave us a lot of peace of mind because our cat can be nervous at times. I would definitely book Sam again in the future. Thanks!”


“She was fantastic with my pup and my sisters dog! We had to take a last minute day trip and she was available to stop by our place and walk our dogs 4x. She was responsive, attentive and very good with our dogs. Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart is my versatility. Whether you need help training a new puppy or providing companionship and care for a senior pet, I'm here to assist. My adaptability ensures that I can meet the unique needs of each furry friend, making their time with me enjoyable and beneficial. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule. With my part-time work, I have ample availability to dedicate quality time to your furry companions. I prioritize their needs, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, and companionship. Weekends are perfect for boarding, while weekdays after 2 pm are reserved for walks, playtime, and whatever else your pets require to thrive. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, providing them with designated spaces for rest, play, and meals. I follow any dietary restrictions and medication schedules diligently. For client's homes, I adapt to their routines, maintaining consistency with feeding times, exercise regimens, and any specific care instructions provided. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of each pet entrusted to my care.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits, and being around animals has always felt natural to me. While I’ve had experience with many different pets, dogs and cats truly have my heart. I’ve had dogs in the past and absolutely loved the companionship, routine, and joy they bring. Right now, I don’t have a dog because I have a cat at home, which makes me even more excited to care for other people’s dogs and give them the love, attention, and time they deserve. I genuinely miss having a dog around, so taking care of someone else’s feels like such a joy rather than a task. As a current cat parent, I deeply understand how important routine, patience, and trust are. I know how to read body language, respect boundaries, and move at a pet’s pace. Whether it’s an energetic dog who needs playtime and walks or a calm cat who just wants quiet company, I adjust my care to each animal’s personality. What sets me apart from other sitters is how personally I take my role. I don’t see pet sitting as just feeding and walking. I see it as building trust and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m gentle, attentive, and very observant, especially with shy pets, senior pets, or animals who need extra reassurance. I may not be a professional trainer, but I’m very patient and consistent, which helps with puppies learning routines and senior pets who need calm, gentle care. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, and I care just as much about their emotional comfort as their physical needs. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me, and I would be honored to be someone you trust with a member of your family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I already structure my days around caring for my own cat, so feeding times, playtime, cleaning, and check-ins are things I’m used to and consistent with. Adding pet sitting into my routine feels easy and intentional rather than rushed. I’m someone who plans ahead and values routine, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins are done on time, and I’m always mindful of each pet’s specific needs and energy levels. I enjoy spending quality time with animals, so caring for them never feels like a chore. Because I genuinely enjoy being around pets, I’m happy to build my schedule around them and give them the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress free for them. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, respect the space, and make sure pets stay in their usual environment whenever possible. I keep doors and windows secure, ensure food and water areas are clean, and make sure pets are always supervised appropriately. I pay close attention to behavior changes and will always communicate updates or concerns right away. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and safe space. I make sure the environment is pet friendly, free of hazards, and suited to their comfort level. Because I have a cat, I am very mindful of slow introductions and only accept pets that are a good fit to ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. I believe trust is built through consistency, clear communication, and genuine care. I treat every pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own, making sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for at all times.
About: I have had pets the majority of my life! Dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, you name it! I have always been an animal lover, I will try to pet anything! I treat every animal with kindness I do work full time, however I have a lot of time off during the week. My schedule is 12 hour shifts so it gives me time off on days most people have to work. I am currently saving for a volunteer medical trip to Duquesa in January 2027 with Team Broken Earth, every booking is currently going towards this amazing opportunity! I approach all animals calmly and always tell them how good they are and how loved they are. They are definitely part of the family!
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have actively taken care of multiple dogs for the past 18 years. Many friends and family member of mine have always trusted me with their pets, and cared for them for a month at a time, including a 6 year old Maltese poodle blind dog. I’ve had pets in and around the house ever since I was a little kid. I grew up with a Siberian husky, an Akita, a German shepherd, and a cat, so I’ve always known how to handle and care for any size of pet! I’m currently working part-time so I have extremely flexible hours and plenty of time to care for your fur baby, as I understand that they need the extra love, plenty of cuddles and play time, especially when they are away from home! I am a very active person and I love taking daily walks, so I’d be more than happy to be accompanied by your pups. 😊
About: As a vet student at OVC with over 1,000 hours of professional animal experience, I offer a level of care most sitters can’t. Between my clinical background as a veterinary assistant and my time working at a dog daycare and training facility, I’m deeply experienced in reading dog behavior, managing puppies, and caring for seniors. I’m also the Junior Canine Representative for the OVC Animal Behaviour Club, so I use positive, patient handling techniques to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled! As a current vet student, pet care easily fits into my daily life outside of my class and clinical schedule! I structure my days around pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks, making sure your pet’s routine stays completely consistent. Whether it’s early morning walks before my morning lectures, afternoon drop-ins and medication visits between classes, or dedicated evening companionship and play, I build my routine around giving your pet reliable, attentive care. Whether I’m staying at your place or visiting for drop-ins and walks, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine exactly as it would be if you were home. Thanks to my vet school training and daycare experience, I tailor my care to what each individual animal needs.
“Grace is very professional and reliable. I felt totally comfortable leaving our 2 cats in her care, and she did a great job with them. She also made sure everything was clean when we got home, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend her!”

“Cassidy is always great with our kitties. They get pets, play time and we get photos each visit. She makes sure all food and water dishes are topped up and litter is cleaned.”

About: I love animals, they’re my kindred spirits and as a vegan, I love and care for them all equally and hope to create a safe and loving environment for all animals as I do for my fur babies and fosters. I work from home for about 6 hours day and spend most of my time off with my cats. I am their primary care provider and love spending time with them. I have fostered my friends and neighbours cats in the past where I provide meal, enrichment activities, play a medicines whenever required. I’ve cared for kittens from age 6 months to older cats the age of 12-15 with arthritis and other kidney health concern and managed dietary and mobility issues.
About: Hi there! My name is Jenny. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the last year, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for puppies and old dogs. I'm currently working from home and I'm here most weekends, so your pet will always be with me and my dog. Will be able to play all day and walk your dog as needed. I have the friendliest dog who will play with your fury baby. Your dog will be allowed to be in every room, jump in my bed and couch.
About: Hi! I’m a Dog/Cat and bearded dragon Mom! I have a loveable Bernese named Maggie who loves everyone :) What sets me apart is my experience with rescue cats, especially shy, anxious, and newly adopted cats that need patience and a calm approach. I work from home, so your cat gets consistent care and supervision in a quiet, stable environment throughout the day. I’m also comfortable with kittens, including socialization and routine building, as well as senior cats who may need extra attention or medication. My focus is always on keeping stress low and helping each cat feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home so I’m always here for your loved one. I can let them out regularly and walk them often! Your pet will not be left alone.. I have a fully fenced yard to run around as well as a separate room if you’re pet needs its own space for whatever reason!
About: I grew up in a household where we had almost always two dogs and a cat (at one point, even a couple of bunnies). I have mostly been around larger, but also some smaller dogs and cats, and I have always enjoyed interacting and taking care of them :) I’m currently completing school, so working between the hours of 8:15am and 3:00pm will work best with me. I am available throughout the week, Monday to Friday. Animals that we as humans keep as pets, are generally kind, loving and sweet creatures. I intend to treat them with respect, patience, kindness and with genuine, loving care as I enter each home to meet their needs.
“Emma is great with my dogs, always sends pictures and updates me on how the visit went. She is very responsive on the app and was always willing to work with me around my schedule that changes often. I would give her 10 stars if I could :)”

About: **Returning Rover Petsitter/Dog Walker** What sets me apart is my calm, consistent, and compassionate approach to every pet I care for. I have hands-on experience walking large breeds, walking two dogs at once, and providing gentle care for senior pets—including dogs with vision impairment who need extra patience and attention. I also understand how to support dogs with separation anxiety, offering them comfort and stability while their owners are away. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs a full 1-hour walk or a senior dog who requires a slower pace, I tailor my care to fit each dog’s needs. I’m confident, dependable, and truly love spending time with animals. Your pets will feel safe, loved, and well cared for with me! I work available Sunday to Tuesday , and so I have plenty of time to care for your furry babies and provide them the attention and care they absolutely deserve. Do contact me to get more details. I will respond quickly and let you know about my availability after we discuss more about it. Thankyou!
About: I have always loved animals and animals alhave always seem to enjoy me so getting to meet so many new ones is very exciting. I have walked and watched dogs and cats for friends and family my whole life and also have a dog of my own who I love to walk daily. I am free after 4 most days and some weekends for walks and check ins as well as overnight stays depending on the day of the week. I always make sure that whoever I'm watching is as comfortable with me as possible. I try to make the space as safe and fun as possible and respect boundaries at all times.

About: I have always been extremely passionate about caring for animals and have pet care experience through helping friends and family. I find genuine excitement in meeting new pets and being able to help others. Although I do not have a dog of my own, I do have a bunny that I have taken care of for the past 9 years and he means the world to me, so I have a great understanding of how these fur babies are much more than just pets. I am currently working part-time and do school online, so I have a very flexible schedule. I thrive in settings that may require adapting, and I am the kind of person to focus on my task at hand. I have relatively free mornings, where I enjoy being the most productive, but most importantly I am always willing to accommodate other people’s schedule when possible! When I care for pets, the most important factors to me are the pet’s safety and the owner’s boundaries. I find it very important that the pet is visibly content and safe, and if any issues were to occur, I understand the boundaries as a sitter. I care for and respect all pets the way I would hope a sitter would treat and respect my pet and routines.
“Kayleigh was on time and kept our kitties company while we were out of town. It was such a relief knowing that our babies were in such good capable hands. 10/10 will use again and will definitely recommend her to others! Thanks again Kayleigh!”

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, reliable, and pay close attention to each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for my own dog, so I understand how important it is to provide not only exercise and playtime but also comfort, consistency, and lots of affection. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different energy levels, administering basic medications if needed, and following specific feeding, walking, and care instructions. I also know how to recognize when a dog may be feeling stressed or unwell and will always communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Me and hubby take care of them, he Works from home Tuesdays and Thursday, and I work only half day on Fridays we both make sure they have attention and lots of playtime I have a fenced yard a lot of toys and a little yorkie to keep your furry friends entertained. I love to have breakfast/read outside to hang out with them.

Kiko did a drop-in visit for our pup, and we couldn’t have been happier! She gave us detailed updates throughout the visit and interacted with our senior pup with so much care and patience. Our dog seemed to really enjoy her company, which gave us great peace of mind. We would definitely book Kiko again!

Thank you Clarissa for coming to my aid Saturday morning when I needed to book a last minute service to check in on our 3 dogs because our first rover had ended and our flight got cancelled Saturday. We got home late on Sunday night. I will definitely use her services again for regular walking and check ins. Hopefully no more emergencies and only planned visits. Thanks again.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
