“Christine was our first catsitter, from Rover, with Mario and Luigi. I felt really good leaving for 5 days, knowing that we had an established schedule and a list of extra info for Christine. She did amazing! I had news/pics daily. I am so pleased with Christine’s care. I especially appreciated the daily entries in a journal left for me 🤩. It was fun to read! Thank you so so much Christine 😻😻”
“I don’t know what we would do without Jennifer, our cats are well taken care of and happy. She understands them and their craziness so well, she is our Pineapples and Waffles whisperer”
“Samantha did a really outstanding job taking excellent, daily care of my cat while I was away for almost three weeks. She is a fantastic cat-sitter and I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone who wants their cat to be cared for, played with and taken care of. I really appreciated that Samantha arranged for an initial 'meet and greet' with me and my cat before I departed and it really helped to put me at ease for the entire trip. She was very easy and professional to work with and very flexible arranging dates and times for the visits. Samantha really loves and cares about cats and judging by the many photos Samantha provided in her daily reports, my (usually curmudgeonly) cat really seemed to take a shine to Samantha, undoubtably due to the time and attention she provided my cat with every visit. She was always consistent and thorough with the report cards, and always communicated promptly with any additional questions or issues she encountered during my absence. I really felt that my cat was being cared for by a very safe pair of hands! I'm so relieved and glad that I found Samantha as a cat-sitter and she will absolutely be my go-to person for cat-sitting in the future!”
About: Growing up in China, I had a sweet Bichon Frise, and that’s where my love for animals began. After moving to Canada, I became a cat parent and have now been caring for cats for over eight years. I currently have two cats of my own, both with very different personalities—one is outgoing, affectionate and curious, while the other is more sensitive and needs a little extra time to feel comfortable. Living with them has taught me that every pet has their own personality and way of communicating. Some cats want to be your best friend right away, while others prefer you to sit quietly nearby and let them make the first move. I’m happy to do both! I’m patient, attentive and respectful of each pet’s boundaries, and I’ll never rush them before they feel safe. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new. I’ll carefully follow their usual routine, keep their food, water and litter area clean, spend time playing or cuddling with them, and send you photos and updates. I also have experience giving oral medication when needed and can follow instructions carefully. I speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and I’m happy to communicate in whichever language feels most comfortable for you. Skills 🐾 – patient and gentle with shy or nervous pets – attentive to behaviour and body language – feeding, litter care, playtime and brushing – medication and care instructions – photo and message updates Experience 🐶🐱 – over eight years of caring for cats – currently a cat parent to two lovely boys – grew up caring for a family dog – comfortable with pets of different personalities and energy levels Available on weekdays after 5PM and have full availability on weekends. I’m happy to dedicate my evenings and weekends to providing reliable care, attention, and companionship for your pet, making sure they feel safe and well looked after while you’re away🥰 My home has several separate rooms, so visiting pets can have their own quiet space when needed. I also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, with plenty of trails nearby for walks and exploring.
“Tori did a wonderful job looking after our three cats. She was consistently on time and genuinely attentive, taking the extra moments to pet them and spend real quality time with each of them. She also cleaned up any messes they made, keeping everything neat and stress-free for us. She is definitely our go-to person for pet care, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated.”
“We have three senior cats with special needs, and we were very worried to leave them alone for a few days. Jean‑François completely put our mind at ease and truly stole our hearts with the exceptional care he provided. Every day, he sent detailed updates about how our cats were doing, complete with notes about their meals, medications, playtime, litter cleaning, and all the affection he showered them with. I cannot recommend Jean‑François enough to care for your furry family members. Finding someone so trustworthy, attentive, and reliable has been such a gift. Thank you Jean‑François, on behalf of Mitaine, Kyra, and Hubert :)”
About: Depuis mon enfance, j’ai toujours été entourée de chiens. Ayant grandi avec des huskys et d’autres grands chiens, j’ai acquis une solide expérience et une aisance naturelle pour les promenades et les soins quotidiens. J’ai également eu la chance de partager ma vie avec mon propre chien pendant douze années, ce qui a renforcé mon attachement profond aux animaux. De plus, je suis famille d’accueil pour la SPCA, où j’ai pris soin d’animaux ayant parfois des besoins particuliers. Cette expérience m’a permis de développer de grandes compétences en matière de suivi de consignes, d’observation attentive et de surveillance de l’état de santé . Je vous remercie de l’attention portée à ma candidature et demeure disponible pour toute rencontre ou échange à votre convenance. Je suis disponible du lundi au vendredi et la fin de semaine selon les besoins . La fréquence et la durée de mes visites seront planifier selon vos attentes et besoins Je suis une personne de confiance , respectueuse, mature et discrète. Je prendrais soin de vos animaux et serais disponible à suivre vos indications .
“Jude took really good care of our two cats. He was easy to communicate with, respectful and professional. Our place was spotless when we got back and the cats were happy and well cared for. I would recommend Jude to anyone.”
About: My name is David-Alexander. I am available to travel with my vehicle throughout the Gatineau and Ottawa area. I am currently available at any time, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends, to care for your pets either in your home or mine. I have a 11-year-old female dog named Kali. ALL PETS ARE WELCOME! Kali was aggressive for years I have experience with temperament Coming from a family that has always had pets, I have been passionate about animal care my entire life. I have owned dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and would be happy to care for yours as if they were my own. Why choose me? I understand how important it is to know that your furry family member is being left in a safe, caring, and trustworthy environment. I will make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, well-fed, and loved while you are away. Whether they need supervision, companionship, exercise, or simply someone to keep them company, I am happy to help. I would be happy to send you photos and updates of your pets while I am caring for them I can provide two one-hour walks each day for dogs who require lots of exercise. for temperamental dogs we must do a together session so they learn to get to know me I am also available for home visits where I can: Feed your pets Take them outside for bathroom breaks Walk and exercise them Give them affection and companionship Administer basic care according to your instructions My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care so that you can have peace of mind while you're away from your pets. I work from home and look for some companionship. hike and walk a lot. I love audiobooks, and I hate sitting still if you have a high-energy dog. Perfect. If your dog is old and slow. Awesome just means I get to the end of my book faster. I also had a rescue that needed a lot of training and an alpha male to make her feel protected and safe. It took years to get her to walk by people, dogs, and children. I still cry to this day thinking about where we started and how it ended. I think about all the times she looked up at me for reassurance. I miss her so much. Life is too short for animals; they need loving walks and belly rubs. My roommate has a mini dog. Our yard is large and fenced in. I'm always home or hiking, so your dogs would get a lot of walks and hikes in Gatineau Park. I also set goals for my dog; a newtrick a day keeps the doctor away.
“Isabelle took amazing care of our cat Layla while we were on vacation. It was nice to have picture updates while we were gone and see Layla was being well-fed and looked after. Isabelle will be the first person we call when we go away in the future :) Merci Isabelle!”
About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—from my family’s childhood terrier and lab, to cats who were part of our family for 16 years, to our sweet labradoodle Lyekka whom we cherished for 15 years. Today, we share our home with Chester, our energetic 3-year-old. Having cared for pets through every stage of life, I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. Working a standard 9-to-5 office schedule means I provide a wonderfully predictable and structured routine during the work week—quiet downtime while I'm out, followed by high-energy focus the moment I'm back. Evenings and weekends are dedicated to active play, long walks, and burning off pet energy. Because I genuinely thrive on the vitality and playfulness that pets bring, weekends are wide open for outdoor adventures, fetch sessions, and keeping them thoroughly engaged and happy. Whether hosting in my home alongside my friendly orange tabby Chester or visiting a client's place, safety and engagement are my top priorities. I utilize my evenings, and weekends to channel pets' natural energy through fun walks, play sessions, and attentive care in a calm, secure setting
About: Prices are ALWAYS negotiable :) I once had a pet hamster. I also helped my uncle take care of his Shiba Inu named Mugy. I walked with her, fed her and played with her a lot, we became best friends 😂 I'm a student pilot, so I usually have a lot of free time. I've loved making friends with animals since I was little, so I think this is the perfect job for me. Unfortunately I cannot take pets into my apartment. But if clients need a drop-in visit, I'll try my best to meet clients' demands, I also love taking photos of pets so don't worry about news updating.
“Zain took great care of my cat while I was on vacation. He gave me updates, sent some photos and even went above and beyond and cleaned up some vomit my cat had left behind. I really appreciate his services. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I have over 2 years of pet sitting experience via another app and I have Veterinary knowledge where it allows me to cater to your babies if ever the need medication or other specialty needs. I am a person who will always prioritize the well-being of your animal and during my service they will have my undivided attention well you are away. I also believe in good Communications and to bring my clients a peace of mind by providing them daily updates and I am flexible when it comes to clients requests. I have rescued a lot of animals in the past such as birds, cats, rabbits ect... I always like to set up a meet and greet with my clients prior to any booking acceptance to ensure that my client's questions are answered and that the animals except me as their sitter. in a previous app I had five star reviews across the board and my clients are now following me on this app. my household consists of two dogs three cats and five budgies and I keep bugging my husband to have baby goats but he keeps saying no for some strange reason LOL in a nutshell I would do anything for the animals to be happy. I am a person who is 100% at home. any type of services you book with me is 100% focusing on your pet. when you reserve a house sitting I will be with your pets all day and all night as I will sleep over at your house for the time of the booking. I might get out to get some groceries or get fresh air but will treat your pets the way I treat mine. My birds have their own room with a radio and plenty of sunshine where they can play and have their fresh veggies. My cats and dogs are never cratted and free to roam everywhere in the house except for the bird room. At night they basically all sleep with us in our bed.
About: With three years of experience working on a farm and taking care of love ones dogs and cats, I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of animals, from the smallest kittens to the largest livestock. This hands-on background has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and the skills to confidently look after pets of all sizes and breeds, ensuring they receive the best possible care. As a devoted stay-at-home dog mom, my days revolve around my furry family members. This means I'm always available to give your pup constant companionship, endless belly rubs, and all the attention they could ever want. My flexible schedule ensures they get regular walks, playtime, and a comforting presence throughout the day, just like my own dogs do. My home features a secure, fenced yard, offering a safe and fun space for your dog to play and explore. While I love giving pups plenty of freedom, I also understand that some dogs are more comfortable in a crate, or that it might be your preferred method. Rest assured, I'm fully prepared and able to provide a comfortable crating option if that's what your dog needs.
About: Je m'occupe de chiens depuis mes 11 ans, je vis en ce moment avec un chiwawa de 11 ans et un chiot Pitsky (mix de pitbull et de husky) de 13 semaines. Je travaille en ce moment a temps partiel et en vu des vacances, j'ai beaucoup de temps libre pour garder vos animaux. De plus, je suis étudiant au cégep donc j'ai des vacances plus longues. Je vais garder vos animaux selon vos critères et vos demandes. Par exemple le nombre de marches voulu, les besoins de nourriture, le type d'environnement, etc.
“Holly was great! Maizy was in good hands and I was updated as scheduled with great photos and comments! I will book Holly again and use her as my preferred cat sitter! Thank you so much Holly!”

I am so glad I reached out to Iryna to care for my senior cats, and pet fish while our family was away. I had extra care instructions for one of the cats which Iryna took on without hesitation. She was profesionnal and kind throughout the process. I could tell the cats really benefited from the visits as they were both happy and relaxed when we got home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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 Cantley 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. 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.
