About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for all kinds of pets. I have my own dog, whom I’ve trained and care for every day, giving me hands-on experience with training, exercise, feeding, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m patient and responsible, and I'll treat every pet like my own. I’m currently in Teachers College, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love staying active and working out, so I’d be happy to include walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise with your pet while also giving them lots of attention and care. Some things to note about my schedule: As mentioned, I am currently in teachers college. I’m in a placement from September 21–October 26, Monday–Friday from 9:00–3:30, but I do have an hour lunch break each day, so I may be able to work something out depending on what time you’re looking for. I’ll also be away for school November 14–December 18 to which I won’t be available. Then I’ll have another placement January–February. Outside of those times, I have more flexibility. I’ll provide care in my clients’ homes, following each pet’s usual routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll keep up with feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions, while giving them lots of attention and making sure their home is kept clean and secure.
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a child! Growing up I would spend time with my uncles dog Diesel! I love walking dogs and teaching them new tricks and of course giving them lots of treats to reinforce good behaviour and habits and maybe even an extra treat just for being cute ! i’m excited to offer pet care services! I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while under my care. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention! I’m very flexible and looking forward to discussing and following your pets preferences and routines ! I live in a condo & have a dog park nearby. Depending on your needs and routines that you have established for your pets I can care for them as needed so they can still maintain a sense of comfort when they’re away from home!
About: Apart from having pets all my life, I’ve spent years rescuing animals in need. From cats to dogs to birds, you name it. Rest assured, your pet will be treated with the same love and patience I have for my own. I'm currently in between switching jobs hence timing will not be much of a problem. I'm available for pet sitting from 10 am to 8 pm throughout the week. My pet Freya, is mainly an indoor cat but is also leash trained for walks in the park she sometimes accompanies me on. She's on a wet food diet (fancy feast pate) with freeze dried chicken as a topper. She has a steel litter box that helps keep it odour free and fresh. My home is also cat proofed in every way.
“Soo patient!! We know our dog is a little challenging (poor thing is dealing with separation anxiety). But Jessica has a way to work around Sky. She reads Sky very well and acts patient; Which is exactly what we need. Very calm and tries to make a connection with Sky. Within 2 visits we have seen progress in the way Sky approaches her! So glad to have found a patient and caring sitter.”
About: I have a little puppy named Sparky who’s 1 years old and loves kids and other dogs. Very gentle but exited. I grew up on a farm before moving to the city as an adult. So I have ample experience in animal care both in a professional setting and as household pets. I work from home on my own schedule in social media- with very limited interruptions daily when I’m marked available. I also go for walks myself daily to keep active and engaged no matter the weather. I live in a condo - but access to dog park and outdoor space near by. Looking to help you and your busy schedule with short term care-I would love to have in my apartment as long as needed! but if space is an issue for your preference and your pets ideal space needs - I do have a small apartment.
About: Hello, I'm Maggie, a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter and dog walker based in the Pitlochry area. I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and takes their wellbeing seriously — I understand that pets are family, not just animals. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I always tailor my approach to each pet’s individual needs. Whether that’s calm, steady walks, energetic outdoor time, feeding routines, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance, I aim to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I’m highly organised, punctual, and communicative. Pet owners can expect regular updates, photos if requested, and the peace of mind that their pet is being looked after with genuine attention and kindness. I’m also respectful of routines, instructions, and homes, and I take trust and reliability very seriously. I prioritize pet care into my routine and build my schedule around it, to ensure your pet has a high standard of care and attention. I offer pet sitting in my home or your own, daycare, dog walking on trails as well as on the estate I live on which is fenced.
About: I have raised 3 beautiful dogs throughout my life but currently I am not in care of any animals. Your dogs safety, love, and care is my number one priority. I love to keep them active and social so we will be always outside. I will take them to the local dog park, on hikes, swimming, and individual play time like tug-of-war and fetch. I used to volunteer at holiday pet care where I was in charge of over 20 dogs where I had to walk, feed, play and clean up after . Working there, I was able to keep all of the dogs under control and even taught a Maltese how to play soccer. I would love the same experience by providing your dog with the best experience. Thank you very much for consideration. I will be home full-time, so I will be able to provide your dog with all the attention, love, and care they deserve. I also will work weekends and holidays. I have a car so I am able to do home visits as well as take the dogs on multiple walks, hikes and Adventures. The backyard is only partially closed but there is lots of room to run. There are several enclosed dog parks near me. I do have a car for any traveling purposes
About: Don't leave them alone. I'm Yohana, an animal lover with 5 years of experience. I offer walks, cuddles, and unconditional companionship. Your pet will be treated like family! I'm not working since I just arrived in Canada! I have free time to spend with your best friend and enjoy some nice walks together. I have experience in pet care and understand the needs of pets I know how make them feel safe, happy and calm with me .

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Clarington is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 902 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Clarington. About 86% of Clarington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
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.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Clarington 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
