“Wow what can I say! Rhiana went out of her way to meet up with us ahead of the day so that we could go over the plan for the pups. She communicated so wonderfully and asked questions about items I didn’t think of. She went above and beyond to e Sure these baby’s had all they needed and everything I needed was her first priority! I was beyond afraid to leave my babies with anyone but not with Rhiana, she just made leaving my little Love bugs feel safe and they were beyond happy to be with her!! And these two don’t go to strangers easily.”
“Christine was phenomenal, cannot recommend enough! Lots of updates, took detailed notes, and sent so many pictures and videos. The animals absolutely loved her and it was so nice to have a worry-free weekend, knowing my dogs and cats were in the very best hands! Will absolutely book again 😊”
“Katryna did a fantastic job housesitting my dog Bailey for 4 days. She communicated well and provided daily updates and pictures and went above and beyond to keep Bailey on her regular schedule. It was such a relief to know Bailey was in such good hands with Katryna and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. I came home to a happy pup and a clean home.”
“Nevaeh responded to my request right away, even though it was very last minute and I needed her the very next day. She was warm, friendly, and delightful from the moment she came to meet us. My dog, Peaches, was recovering from some severe stomach issues earlier that week, and Nevaeh took excellent care of her, giving me real peace of mind while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nevaeh to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Erica was totally dedicated to our yellow Labrador Pippa. She gave her long walks, spent time with her and even cuddled with her on the couch. She stayed with Pippa for over a week in our house and did extra things like watering the plants outside. Erica was great and we definitely will be calling on her again. Great job Erica!”
“Derek was very professional, and made us feel calm and comfortable about leaving Jango with him for a weekend in our house. He kept our high energy dog happy the entire time (even in the very cold winter)!”
“Johanne has a beautiful calm energy. My complicated Mr Squish sat with her on the first visit which says alot about her character. We look forward to her next stay which is already booked. Merci !!”
About: I’ve always grown up with animals in the house. I believe they truly make a house a home. I love both dogs and cats and connect very quickly with both. My partner and I also have 2 fish tanks so I can handle those as well! I have experience house sitting for both friends and family, as well as short notice when strangers need. I know that pet care is a full time job. I have a lot of spare time right now so I am looking to fill that over the winter with spending time outside with dogs and house sitting when needed as well. Comfort is my top priority. Keeping the animals in routine is very important to keep stress levels to a minimum. whether that means keeping to an area they know well or maintaining a feeding schedule or anything else i am happy to keep those routines up.
“This week we had the pleasure of having Abbey and James look after Ryder while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our girl. Abbey was so great at winning over Ryder’s affection, from the moment they met. Even when we got home she stayed facing Abbey and enjoyed her head rubs. Ryder and their dog Styx apparently had so much fun together, that she basically slept for the next 24 hours. We would definitely hire them again for our girl in the future, and strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur baby. Thank you Abbey and James.”
“Emily was very communicative and shared lots of pictures which we loved. She also took our energetic dogs for nice long walks every day and played with them outside. Our home was left clean and tidy, we would use her house sitting services again for sure.”
About: I have experience working with all breeds, as I worked 3 years at a dog Kennel. I love types of animals and have lots of experience with cats, dogs, horses, rats, bunnies and more . I would love to take care of your lovely fur baby. Please feel free to reach out and ask for anything regarding your pets as I am here to help and love doing it. If you have any additional pets I am open to watching them as well just let me know before the visit. Don’t worry your dog or other pets is in good hands. Outside of my working from home scheduled, I find time to walk furbabies on the side because I love it so much! It is my second job. I am happy to watch your furbaby at your house. Crated, not crated. Fenced yard or not, I will make sure your dog is safe and looked after
“We had such a great experience with Jamie! He took amazing care of our dog Max while we were away. He sent us regular updates and pictures, which made us feel completely at ease. Max looked so happy and comfortable the whole time — it was clear he was being loved and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Highly recommend and will definitely book again. 🐾💛”
“Kate did a great job taking care of my two senior chihuahuas! My dogs are rescues and one is a bit anxious/reactive, but she was very understanding of his sensitivities. Kate’s arrival was a bit delayed due to an issue outside her control, but she kept me informed so we were able to work it out. I appreciated her frequent updates and photos while I was gone - great communication. My dogs seemed super happy and comfortable with her, which is the most important thing for me, so I would definitely book her again. Thanks Kate!”
About: With over 4 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked in both home and clinical environments—ranging from pet sitting through Rover to assisting veterinarians. My blend of professional and compassionate care ensures your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after. Pet care is a core part of my weekly routine—I’ve been sitting through Rover since 2020 and actively make time for it alongside my other commitments. I’m highly organized and flexible, which allows me to reliably accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’m committed to making sure every pet in my care gets the attention and consistency they need. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or during walks, I stick to their established routines and make sure they’re comfortable and secure at all times. I treat every pet like family—with patience, attention, and lots of love.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets through my own pet care business, Kenzie’s Canine Club. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, pet sitting, basic grooming services, and dog training support, and I’ve worked with pets of different ages, personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I’m also trained in dog training and have experience working with dogs who may be nervous, excitable, strong on leash, or unsure of new people. I believe in giving every pet the time and space they need to feel comfortable and using patient, positive, reward-based handling. Pet care is something I take very seriously. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual routine, feeding instructions, exercise needs, behaviour, and safety, while also making sure they get plenty of affection, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I always aim to keep pet parents updated and treat every animal in my care like they’re part of the family. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. Since I run my own pet care business, I'm able to plan my schedule around my clients and their pet's individual routines. I offer both regular reoccurring care and occasional bookings, and I'll always do my best to accommodate last minute bookings when my schedule allows. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a drop-in while you're at work, or care while you are away, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet's boundaries, temperament, triggers, and any special instructions before providing care, and I never force interactions with an animal who needs extra time to feel comfortable. I am careful with doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and outdoor spaces, and I follow all household and care instructions closely. I also believe trust is built through patience and consistency, especially with nervous or cautious pet's. When caring for pet's in their own home, I respect bother their space and yours. My goal is to create a calm, secure environment where your pet can relax and feel comfortable while you are away.
“We really can’t thank Bronya enough. Having older pets with health issues makes it challenging to travel. Knowing that they are in such good hands makes it so much more enjoyable. Thanks Bronya!”
“Sara was able to take care of our dog with very little notice. She was very professional to deal with and took great care of our dog Kandi. I highly recommend Sara for all of your dog sitting needs!”
“I feel very lucky to have found Jenna and would not hesitate to recommend her to others. She is clearly an animal lover and we were able to meet in person twice before her stay which was reassuring for me. My dog is a senior and my cat very timid and she was happy to cater to their specific needs and keep me updated throughout the week we were away. She was very organized and helped me navigate the process with Rover. Thank you Jenna!”

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 Carp 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 Carp 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 Carp 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.
