“We were incredibly grateful to find Saranya on short notice to look after our dog. From the very beginning, she was responsive, caring, and professional. She took wonderful care of our dog, providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and kept us updated throughout the stay. We highly recommend Saranya to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate dog sitter. We would absolutely book with her again in the future!”

“Jess was amazing with our kitties! She sent updates and pictures everyday, they loved having her care for them! She gave them lots of love while visiting, we would deifnitley use Jess again in future to watch our fur babies.”
About: I am fortunate to have had pets for 26 years! When I visit with your pet, my focus is on their care and well being. This means lots of time for pats, walks, playing, snacks and constant vocal praises! My goal is to make your furry family member feel at ease (and, therefore, you too!) I am a Covid and flu-conscious pet carer, and can wear a mask if requested. I have flexibility throughout my week as I work part time. I am not able to do visits before 930 AM, but, I can do weekends and late evenings with ease. I may also be able to do last-minute requests, as my schedule allows. I can do short visits or long visits, whichever is needed and preferred! I’m also very happy to have a long walk with your dog as it’s a favourite pastime of mine. I enjoy spending time playing with cats for longer periods. My goal is to treat your pet like they are my own! Your pet is a furry family member who I know is very important to you. Being a longtime pet owner myself, I completely understand this bond and the concerns you may have when leaving them with someone. I will make sure to follow all of your instructions to the letter. I do not take risks with animals, such as having them off leash when instructed not to. I am skilled at watching for warning signs. I currently have a dog (Badger) who has a seizure disorder triggered by certain foods, so I am very cognizant of food related allergies and limitations. My attention is always on your pet when they are in my care (i.e. if they get into something they shouldn’t, I am intervening immediately and not distracted by my phone etc.) My approach with animals is always positive reinforcement emphasized.
“We had a wonderful experience with Abbey and James! They were punctual, detail-oriented, and went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy and well cared for. They even brought toys and enrichment toys to keep them entertained and engaged. Communication was excellent throughout, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We also came home to a clean and tidy house, with fresh, clean water and food bowls and the litter area swept up. It was clear that they genuinely cared about our pets and took pride in making sure everything was taken care of. We would absolutely recommend them and would happily have them care for our pets again!”

About: I have fostered multiple dogs, different ages, different breeds and they all looked back when I returned them! I can send you pictures so you know how happy your dog is with their sitter Free on weekends. On weekdays I can still take care of your dogs if they don’t have separation anxiety and are potty trained. Just like a dog owner who works. I can check in on them at noon as the commute is short I’m living in a pet friendly apartment with an elevator. A dog park nearby and lots of trails for walks. Can send you pictures and updates of your kid if needed
“Veronica cared for our cats while we were away for 2 weeks, and even came by everyday for 2 weeks before we left to get her and our cat comfortable with administering his medication every morning. As usual, she went above and beyond what was expected of her and she took out our garbage, vacuumed up the cat litter, played with and snuggled the cats and we came home to a clean home and happy kitties. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”

About: Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I bring something just as valuable: genuine love, patience, and dedication to animals. Friends and neighbors have always trusted me with their pets, because they know I treat every furry (or feathered!) friend as if they were my own. I work from home most days, which allows me to provide consistent attention and flexibility for feeding, walks, and companionship. On the three days I commute to the office, I am still available before and after work, while weekends are fully open. This schedule ensures I can reliably meet the needs of pets and give them the care they deserve. I’m meticulous about safety and will keep a close eye on your furry family member at all times. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel loved while you’re away.
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: 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: I am a hard working, dedicated, and caring individual who comes from a law enforcement family which has made me develop skills of being aware of my surroundings and ways of keeping both myself and others safe. When I am not studying full time at Algonquin college, I work part time at a pet valu which had provided me with fundamental knowledge and skills that will help me keep your pet safe, happy and healthy. I take pride in helping others. I have had a family dog for most of my childhood which had allowed me to get to know the right and wrongs of training a dog. I’m available Monday through Friday, both morning and evening. I’m committed to providing the best care for your pet, even with my other commitments, depending on your requested date and time. I have a fenced in backyard and one friendly golden retriever to keep your pet company while you are away. I have a large backyard, and a close by park and trail for exercise. I am a licensed and safe G class driver with my own vehicle so I am available to travel to pick up your dog from your house for a small extra fee depending on your location.
About: Hi there! I’m Tam, a lifelong animal lover based in Stittsville. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a shy feline, I treat every pet as if they’re my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone new, and I’m here to give you total peace of mind. I currently work during the day Monday to Thursday so I have some spare time in the evening and Friday-Sundays. When I’m not walking my own pups I would love to lend a hand! I don’t currently offer care in my home but I will happily respect your wishes while caring for you pets in your home. The more details you give me the better!

“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 😻😻”


About: I’m an undergraduate student working toward becoming a veterinarian and have been caring for animals my whole life. I have experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, and fish, and I’m comfortable with pets of all temperaments. I’ve provided advanced care for cats and dogs, including tube feeding, wound care, and grooming sensitive areas. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic assisting with common procedures. I have also recently been volunteering at Ottawa humane society in canine enrichment, so I am used to caring for dogs of all sizes and all personalities! I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals—whether that’s playing, grooming, or just giving them lots of affection. I’m always looking to learn more about dog and cat care, so I bring both experience and a willingness to grow. I am currently a part time working biology student! I currently work at a busy bar downtown on Friday and Saturday nights. I am fully willing to incorporate your pets schedule into mine, patience on both ends is appreciated! In my home, I regularly groom my cats and dog and gave my senior dog extra care for her sensitive skin and allergies. I have recently got a border collie puppy so I have had lots of fun training him!I’m attentive to each pet’s specific needs and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. In both my home and a client’s home, I keep things calm and safe and follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I spend time playing, cuddling, and making sure they’re getting the attention they need, while also respecting their boundaries and comfort levels. I also like to make simple toys or enrichment activities to keep them engaged.
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.
About: I’ve always been a very kind, loving and nurturing person. I believe I can provide the utmost excellent care for your pups! Additionally, I value customer service and respect homeowners personal space/property. As a college student, working towards my certification as a Medical Radiation Technologist, I am available for part time hours a few days per week. I intend to care for your beloved dogs as if they were my own always with lots of TLC and love. Patience, gentleness, and a whole lot of those tail wagging scritches, and belly rubs!

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 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!
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.
