“We used Courtney for the first time to look after our dog and cat while we were away for four days. She did a fantastic job and kept us updated with pictures. Everyone was happy, well fed, well taken care of, and she left the house tidy. I would definitely recommend Courtney. We will ask for her help again in the future. Thank you very much, Courtney.”
“Kathleen looked after Moxley and my home for over two weeks while I was in Australia. She was reliable, kept me updated with amazing photos, and Moxley was happy and relaxed when I got home. Would book her again without hesitation.”

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve been training and nurturing animals my whole life. I’m responsible, reliable, patient, intuitive, adaptive, communicative, observant, affectionate & trustworthy. I have a flexible daily routine and can easily adapt to your fur baby’s schedule of feeding, exercise, play time and activities. Cuddles are unlimited! Pet care is the priority, but so is your home - rubbish bins, plant/garden care, light snow removal - making sure all is safe & secure.

“Jocelyn was so great with Pownal. Attentive to his needs and gave him all the love he demands! I could also tel she thoroughly read the instructions we left which was another added level of comfort. We definitely hope she will be available for us in the future.”
About: I have 18 years of experience caring for cats, dogs, fresh water fish and a red slider turtle. I am great with skittish cats and high energy dogs. I could improve my understanding of senior dog care. I enjoy caring for pets around my work schedule. Morning, afternoon and evening walks help provide structure and exercise for pets and humans alike. I enjoy interacting with pets during the day when I am present. I firmly believe that pet parents are the ultimate authority on their pet. My first strategy to ensure your pet’s safety is to ask lots of questions about your routines and boundaries before starting a placement, and to follow your instructions. My second strategy is to follow best practices. For example I ensure there are two barriers between your pet and the outside world whenever possible.

“Zenobia stepped in to care for our dog Luna on short notice and we were quickly at ease after meeting her. She kept us very updated with pictures and videos and we had a tired and happy pup when we returned home thanks to the many walks and playtime Zenobia gave her. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Ben watched our three dogs while we were away for a week. It's the first time we left them with someone who wasn't family and Ben was fantastic. Fast communication and tons of awesome pics showing us our dogs were having a great time and there was nothing to worry about. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook if we need a sitter again!”

“Morgan just looked after our dog for 5 days and was the best. So many regular updates, she took him on adventures and gave him lots of love. Our house was also spotless when we got back. We’ll definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve always been attuned to animals, often preferring their company to humans. I grew up knowing all the dogs along my street. My first job was at the local animal shelter. I’ve pet sit for over a decade and recently become a volunteer with Elderdog Canada. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to do more long-term house stays, giving plenty of time to animal care and companionship - should they want it. I ask that owners share their routines and any quirks about their pets or living spaces to help me adjust to the animals needs and routines. I am comfortable having velcro animals who love attention as well as those who may need more space or time to adjust.
“Barbara is a pure delight. I have never had anyone look after my house and cats and I heard about Rover. I saw Barbara's profile and I liked the fact she loves cats. Immediately any worries were eliminated when she arrived and we went over things and I was able to go away for a week and not worry about the cats or the house. She took wonderful care of everything and followed strict instructions about dietary needs, she's more of a cat expert than I am. I think my cats miss her! Lol. They got lots of attention if they wanted it. I would hire Barbara again in a heartbeat.”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in ColeRidge Estates 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 ColeRidge Estates 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 ColeRidge Estates 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. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
