“Tata was great ! She sat my 8 lb puppy ( Chihuahua) and he was only 5 months old. Tata was extremely intuitive to Rico's needs and training. I was away for 7 days and she welcomed him into her home and made him feel comfortable. She kept in touch daily with video's and texts. I highly recommend her and would book her to watch Rico for any future extended trips I may take.”
“Valerie was the perfect sitter for my Arcee. Very open, provided updates, very flexible and was very accommodating. Arcee loved her stay and Valerie will always be first on my list to call upon should I need a sitter. I highly recommend!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. The dogs I watch, walk, and visit, become my family. I have experience with reactive dogs, dogs that have anxiety about thunder and fireworks, and dogs that have medical regimes. I am attuned to the need for dogs to be engaged through walks, play, and games, while also enjoying their rest. I am Pet First Aid Certified through St. John's Ambulance, with hands on training in dog CPR and other treatments. I look forward to introducing myself and meeting you and your dog(s) during a free meet and greet. My work allows for a flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. I can be available for all of your pet care needs, regardless of timing. My elderly puppies need a predictable environment, so I prefer to stay at your home when caring for your pet(s). I will review your expectations regarding your home, the yard, and the immediate neighbourhood during our free meet and greet. I also offer additional services inside or outside of your home, if you are interested.
“Very happy to have Collin look after our pets. We knew they were in good hands, and we received plenty of pics so we could see how happy Pixie and Friday were to have Collin staying with them!”
“We always appreciate Holly for her caring attitude toward Sully. It is a great relief to have her in our home and we can leave the house knowing everything will be just great!”
About: I have grown up with animals all my life from dogs and cats to reptiles and amphibians! Ever since I was a kid I have been obsessed with dogs and the amazing things they can be trained to do! I pride myself in my understanding on dogs body language and understanding how their minds work! I do currently work full time but I am looking to fill my free time with something I love and that’s spending time with animals! Well I can’t not provide day care or overnight in my home as I don’t live alone, I have a friendly fur baby of my own who loves meeting new friends on walks. I promise to respect your dogs daily routine and rules as I would expect someone watching my dog to do the same as to keep structure in your pets life well you are away as your absence can be stressful to your pet on its own.
“It was a pleasure to meet Neonica and have her in our home. She was able to entertain Sully for two hours outside giving him lots of exercise. I enjoyed the video she shared and a follow up picture of a very tired puppy. Already looking forward to having her back.”

About: I really love dogs and cats. And every pet has their own personality. I love exploring their personalities and communicating with them. Building trust first and enjoy spending time together. I love cuddling and always attached with them. I am currently working part time and studying English . I am available for pet sit sitting 3 days in week which is Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Maybe some Monday’s. First of all I have to know about the pet which is I have to take care. What I have to be careful and avoid to do. I have to know home rules that I have to follow.
“Felipe did a wonderful job watching over our 9 week old puppy and our 1.5yr old dog. Felipe responded quickly to all messages and sent many photos of our pups throughout the sit. We will definitely hire him again to take care of our little guys.”
“Amber did an amazing job. We were in NYC for 5 days, and she stayed over to look after our two Morkies. She took exceptional care of them and also left the house spotless when we returned. We had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend.”
About: I am a lover of all animals! I know everyone says that, but animals are my passion. I am energetic, outgoing, and fun and LOVE spending time with any kind of animal! I have had pets my entire life and hope to one day open a sanctuary for rescued animals. My dream job would consist of being able to spend time with your dogs and give them love, affection, and of course, the exercise they need. I have recently graduated from the Social Service Worker program at Mohawk College and hope to use my education to offer pet therapy in the future. I am more than happy to offer my services to your dogs (or cats). I can walk them, play with them, feed them, bathe them, house sit for you, clean up after them, brush them, administer medications, just to name a few. If you are looking for someone who truly loves animals and who will treat your dogs (or cats) like family, then I hope you give me a chance! I am available for walks, drop ins, or just hanging out with your pet! I have availability every day, through the day, just let me know what you need! In my home, pets will be treated like family — they’ll have a safe, comfortable space, regular walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I follow their normal feeding and potty routines to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I make sure to keep their pets’ environment familiar and stress-free by sticking to their usual schedule. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, and plenty of companionship, while also respecting the home and leaving everything tidy. My goal is to make sure pets feel secure, happy, and cared for no matter where they are.
“Ania was great with our pets! They have some medical needs that she handled quite well and was great at keeping to their schedule. All three of them seemed to have a good time and were happy when we got home!”

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 Crystal Beach 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 Crystal Beach 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 Crystal Beach 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.
