“Darcy has dropped in to take care of my cat several times now. She goes above and beyond. I have great peace of mind knowing she is taking care of him. She also takes beautiful photos of him. I highly recommend her.”
About: Transform your life with the power of pets! As someone who has overcome a difficult childhood through the comfort of furry friends, I am passionate about sharing the therapeutic benefits of animals. With a lifetime of experience caring for a diverse range of pets, from cats and dogs to exotic creatures like snakes and lizards, I promise to treat your beloved pets like my own. Whatever your fur babies need, we do our absolute best to accommodate to make their stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. I understand that some dogs have more energy than others, so we use a baby gate if needed to give everyone a breather so your little loved ones don't get stressed out. We have a high-energy husky that we trained (one of the harder breeds to train), and he is such a good boy. Everyone said potty training him would take 2-4 weeks, and we accomplished it in 7 days by taking him out every 2 hours even during the night. Alarms were set, and out he went. No more puppy pads or accidents in the house at 11 weeks old. If your fur baby is a puppy in need of extra walks for that reason, we are more than happy to help with that. We are able to section off a piece of our living room or kitchen to give senior dogs their own space if needed. Cuddle bugs are always welcome. They will get all the cuddles plus some extra 😊. We do have one set of stairs to our apartment, but if your senior dogs need assistance, I can carry them up and down the stairs; it's not a problem. As well as the administration of any meds they may need. We just need a medication schedule, and away we go. We have a huge park right behind our house for lots of playtime. If you have a high-energy pup I guarantee they will get the stimulation they need. And again, if you have senior dogs that are more laid back, we are set up to make sure everyone is in a comfortable, stress-free environment. We promise to provide the best care and daily updates of your fur babies. They will receive all the love and attention they get at home with you. You can rest assured they are happy and safe. As a pet parent myself, I understand the importance of finding a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. That's why I've made it my full-time job to provide top-notch care for your pets, giving you peace of mind while you're away. One or both of us are home all day, so your pet will not be left alone for any period of time. In our home, they will have constant supervision. Please experience serenity with your furry friend complete with an inspiring dog and cat-friendly canine companion for ultimate comfort. Accommodation for all pets is our #1 priority, whether it be at your residence or ours. I always like to get down on the ground with your fur babies when I meet them, as this establishes trust. Establishing trust is very important to having a successful stay. We understand all pets have different needs; because there are 2 of us, we strive to provide a stress-free environment for your babies and ensure that your beloved pets will not be left alone for any amount of time.
“Jenna is awesome! She takes fantastic care of my cats, they love her. She's reliable, a good communicator and I fully trust her to make decisions when I'm not there. Thank you Jenna!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from young puppies to senior animals. I’ve owned and cared for dogs, bunnies, chickens, and geese, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’ve also worked alongside dog trainers with my own dogs, which has helped me learn more about handling, behaviour, and building trust with animals. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine since I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I work part-time at Roots, so I have plenty of time throughout the week for walks, check-ins, playtime, feeding, or overnight care. I’m reliable with routines and happy to work around your pet’s schedule to keep them comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and any other care they’re used to. I’m respectful of your home, reliable, and focused on making your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so you know your pets are doing well.
“Meaghan was wonderful! She took great care of my two dogs, Rex and Biscuit during her drop in visit, and kept me updated with kind messages and photos throughout. Both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed their time with her. She was professional, reliable, and very respectful of my home. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!”

“Nevaeh was great! She took on our request very last minute, and really got us out of a jam caused by another sitter that cancelled on us a day and a half before we were leaving. After meeting her we knew that our cats would be in very good hands. Thank you Nevaeh!”
About: With 5 years of Veterinary Assistant experience, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to each pet. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and giving extra time and patience to senior pets. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar environment, so I care for them in their home where they feel safe and comfortable. I value routine and clear communication, and before each booking, I like to go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any important dos and don’ts. Safety is always my priority. For dogs, I avoid dog parks and interactions with unfamiliar dogs until I know their communication and comfort level. My goal is simple: to keep your pet happy, safe, comfortable, and cared for like family while you’re away. ❤️ I work strictly overnight shifts at an animal hospital, giving me flexible daytime availability to care for your pets with plenty of time and attention. I don’t care for pets in my own home because I strongly believe in the comfort and security of their familiar surroundings. When pet parents are away, I believe the least stressful option is for a sitter to come to them—allowing pets to stay in their own space, routine, and comfort zone.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Carleton Place
Cassie was great and was very caring and asked great questions to ensure she was caring for our Maine coon Murphy the best way Our little guy liked seeing Cassie every visit and warmed up to her very easily. I’d recommend her cat sitting services and will use her again in the future for cat visits when we are away.
Cadence took care of our 2 cats for a few days while we were away. The cats seemed happy upon our return. Cadence was feeling ill for a couple of days while taking care of them and even mentioned that she wiped down all surfaces she touched so we wouldn't catch what she had! Thoughtful!

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
