“Kiko was absolutely amazing taking care of my cat. She was very playful and my cat loved her. She is also great at communication and providing updates, I would 💯 recommend her to everyone who needs someone to look after their pets either for short period and even long periods of time.”
“Jessica took care of our pups for a 3 day weekend. She was always available if we wanted an update and took lots of photos so we could see our girls were being well cared for. I think they even got to see some new spots and might be bored on their regular walks now 😝 ! She was very neat and tidy and even looked in on our fish for us. Would definitely have Jessica back again to look after our pets.”
“Tik Wan went above and beyond in caring for my cats. I went to my wedding overseas and had complete peace of mind. She was very communicative. Sending photos and videos at each visit. Playing with the cats made them very happy. A very reliable and attentive cat sitting. 100% would recommend. Will book again for any future travel.”
About: Hey there, i’m a veterinary assistant certified dog lover and handler. I’ve been in the field for over 8 years as a supervisor at a dog daycare, professional bather and sales rep for diet and nutrition. I currently work for an all natural pet supplement company! I’ve done house and dog sitting during this time as well. I am very reliable and punctual. Im currently available on weekends. I can make an exception depending on the situation. Dog walks can be scheduled for after 6pm Monday to Friday. I have a nice two bedroom apartment. Regular walks are a must (if thats what the pup enjoys). Toys can be provided if none are brought with them, scheduled walks/routine will be maintained.
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.
“Paige put our minds totally at ease while caring for our 2 large dogs and our cat. She sent me plenty of updates and photos which was greatly appreciated. She stayed in our home so the dogs would be more comfortable, had them out for plenty of walks and playtime and even sat with my extremely picky eater so that he would finish his meal. It's always tough to leave your fur babies but we knew they were in great hands. We will definitely use Paige in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
About: Hi! I'm Taya, a 37-year-old lifelong dog owner offering dog walking, pet sitting, and in-home pet care in KW and the surrounding area. I've spent my life raising large breeds, and the dogs that have shaped me most weren't the easy ones. I know from personal experience the anxiety that comes with finding a trusted person to take care of and understand the needs of a strong and reactive dog. My Cane Corso (147 lbs) was reactive — dogs, bicycles, scooters, you name it — and together we developed what I call defensive walking: staying proactive, reading the environment ahead, and keeping situations calm before they escalate. I know how to manage powerful dogs on a leash and how to advocate for reactive dogs in the real world. My Rottweiler had seizures, which means I'm also experienced in recognizing and responding to seizure episodes and comfortable administering medication on a schedule or in an emergency. I don't panic — I've been there. What I offer: Dog walking (including reactive and large breed dogs) Pet sitting at your home Medication administration if required I'm a responsible, experienced dog person who understands that your dog isn't just a pet. I am currently unemployed by choice. I have spent a few years in Australia and recently returned to Canada. I have all the time to dedicate towards pet care. I have a fully fenced yard with my home, with no other animals here. At your home, I will follow your rules. Pats and cuddles on the couch if it's allowed; if not, we will sit on the floor and cuddle.
“I highly recommend Zoey. She was prompt with communication, on time for our visit, and had no problem following our house instructions for house sitting. She was so terrific with our dog Jasper (he loved her) and took great care of our home.”
About: Hi! I’m a 35-year-old working professional, marathon runner, and lifelong dog lover. I work remotely four days a week, giving me plenty of flexibility for daytime walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I grew up with a Labradoodle who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years, and I’ve missed having a dog around ever since! While my condo isn’t quite the right fit for a dog of my own, Rover is the perfect way to spend time with pups and help out fellow dog owners. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, some company while you’re away, or overnight care in your home, I’d love to help! I’m also available on weekends. I’m happy to host small dogs (20 lbs or less) at my condo. Above all, I’ll treat your pup with lots of love, care, and attention, just as I would my own! 🐶 I work full time remotely and would be available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday during the day for potty breaks and walks. I would also be happy to stay at your house during the week if needed. Available on the weekends too. Please give me 3 days (preferably a weeks notice) so I can plan my schedule accordingly! Safety, trust, and comfort are my priorities. I’ll take the time to understand your dog’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of your home, and happy to keep you updated while your pup is in my care.
“Emma was on time and stayed with our dog overnight and he was well cared for. We are very pleased to have Emma to rely on to care for our dog and stay with him so we can get away and see friends and family.”
About: I have worked with all ages of dogs, in many different sizes. I have given medication and provided additional care, such as baths and eye/ear cleaning. I am currently a foster dog parent with Full Circle Rescue! I’m currently working full time, but available after 2pm on Fridays and both days during the weekend. If able, I would also be open to making a home visit during my lunch break at work. I’m very instruction oriented, so any and all instructions given to me by owners will be followed strictly. I am very respectful of my clients personal belongings. I foster dogs as a volunteer and have been successful with all the dogs I have worked with!
“My last sitter left Copper in the middle of the night because they felt Copper was being difficult. I contacted Moody while I was in US, and his prompt reply saved my entire trip. He took Copper for multiple walks, and was really good in communication. Thank you Moody!”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own! I was able to care for and train the 9 puppies they had. I have also taken care of senior dogs, cats of all ages, and kids My routine revolves around pet care without question. When I wake up I make sure to take my dogs for a walk, given their medication, and food. The pets come before anything else I make sure there is clear communication between the client and I. Many pets have their own schedule and I will follow that. I believe with communication, there is nothing that could go wrong.
“Brandon was fantastic looking after our dogs and our home. He was super responsive, sent lots of photos and regular updates, and we always felt confident the dogs were happy and well cared for. He also left the house spotless when we got back, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend Brandon and look forward to having him watch our dogs again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cambridge
We were in Cambridge for our daughter’s wedding and needed a dog sitter for our 14 year old Bichon, Bailey. Serenity was absolutely outstanding. She provided amazing care, lots of cuddles, walks and provided lots of pictures to us throughout both evenings we needed her services. Bailey had an amazing time and loved all the attention he received. Serenity went above and beyond, even cleaning up the kitchen! I highly recommend Serenity for your dog sitting needs, and she is such a sweet person too!
Victoria is so sweet and took amazing care of my two pups. She is flexible and easy to communicate with, including when I needed to reschedule. The day of the visit she was welcoming and patient with my anxious dogs; she even got them toys, which they have been playing with at home. Victoria is a very thoughtful, experienced, and caring sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
