“Peter did an excellent job taking care of my dog. He is a large high energy Shepard-husky mix which can be difficult to manage. We would definitely hire Peter again and recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter for their pets.”
“Kat was on time, and kept us updated with photos. She was quick to reply and followed all instructions. Would absolutely recommend her to watch your fur babies, we will definitely contact her for any other times require a dog sitter for Twix and Rolo!”
“Liz was amazing with Kazo. Kazo being a cat that needs more patience & assistance to feel comfortable, Liz helped him build trust in a very short time.. She provides regular updates & makes you feel at ease, while being away from your baby.. Be rest assured that your pet is in the best hands.. Can't thank her enough & she would be my go to person for Kazo...”
“Emily was amazing with our elderly anxious dog. She was staying overnight at our place, provided updates to give us peace of mind. Cici was incredibly receptive with her and that’s all we wanted ! Will book again !!”
“Bronte was patient with our high anxiety dog and took the time to get to know her prior to sitting. She is very calm and gentle. She let us know our dog was fine and sent an update. I would recommend her!”
“We recently hired Jahzara to care for our dogs while we were away, and she was fantastic! She took the time to meet our dogs beforehand to learn things about their routines , and we received regular updates and photos during our trip. Our dogs were happy and relaxed, which showed how well she cared for them. I highly recommend Jahzara for anyone needing a reliable pet sitter”
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I’m attentive to their individual routines, personality, and needs, and I make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels, including walks, feeding, medication routines, and maintaining their usual schedule. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. My work schedule is Sunday through Wednesday, which means I’m off Thursday through Saturday. This gives me three consecutive days off each week, allowing me plenty of flexibility and time to provide dedicated care, walks, playtime, and attention to your pets. I’m also happy to discuss scheduling in advance to make sure it works well for both of us. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home environment where pets can feel relaxed and comfortable. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and supervision. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big responsibility, so I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while they’re in my care.
About: I have taken care of my own dog for 5 years, I have dog-sat and cat-sat for my friends, and I am currently in school for a veterinary assistant program which I love! *I do not do overnight house-sitting but I can house-sit for several hours in a day. *female clients only for safety purposes *fees are calculated on an individual basis. I will take into account the CRA’s kilometric rate when commuting to/from your house, Rover’s 20% cut, commute time, how long I am staying at your house or how long the walk(s) is, and your pet’s age/needs/behaviour/temperament I’m currently in school full time but I’m half in-person, half-online, and I have Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays off, with Friday classes ending at 1pm. When I’m with your pet, I will walk them, play with them, take them out for bathroom breaks, feed them, cuddle with them, and make them feel super loved and comfortable. I can give them their medications if you leave instructions on what to do!
About: Hello, My fourteen year old son and I are experienced, responsible and compassionate animal friend carers with great references. We have been boarding and walking dogs my son's entire life. We love animals, even the human variety. Caring for others is very fulfilling and a great learning experience for my son, who is proving to be a wonderful apprentice. At the moment we are branching out from boarding to walking and my son is taking the lead. I am still with him 100% and will accompany him on walks. We are quick learners who are interested in how you'd like things done. We provide lots of attention and come with experience caring for homes, gardens, pigs, chickens, cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, fish, frogs, newts, lizards, turtles, birds and plants. We would be happy to expand our horizons! We look forward to hearing from you! I am starting a part-time online business so I am home most of the time. My son does most of his school work from home. We are pretty flexible and walking your dog will get us out of the house! We have walking many dogs with many different temperaments. We will be attentive to their needs and surroundings and follow your instruction as you are the one who knows them best.
About: Family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs (and cats) for over 20 years, whether that means feeding, walking, playing, or making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also have experience training dogs and reinforcing good habits and basic commands. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting to each dog’s personality, routine, and energy level. I work remotely and am only in the office 2 days a week. I lost my 10 year old shepherd last month and have lots of free time and love to give. I have a fenced yard with turf (artificial) grass, no other dogs or pets, and keep the environment 100% safe for any animals. I always supervise pets while outside and make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home while they’re with me.
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for cats, I understand their behavior, boundaries, and individual personalities. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats and attentive to those who need more engagement and play. I’m comfortable administering medications, maintaining spotless litter boxes, and ensuring a clean, low-stress environment. My science background helps me recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, so I can respond early if something seems off. I focus on calm, respectful care—earning your cat’s trust while keeping them comfortable, clean, and well-cared for in your absence. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I’m available nearly full-time—including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and evenings. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care, ensuring they receive consistent attention, timely feeding, play, and any required medications. Because I maintain a flexible schedule, I can accommodate last-minute bookings, extended stays, and visits at times that best suit your pet’s routine—keeping their environment stable and stress-free. I prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I follow your routine closely—feeding schedules, medication, litter or enclosure maintenance, and preferred play styles—to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to safety details like secure doors, hazard-free spaces, and proper handling during feeding or medication. I also respect boundaries, especially for shy or rescue animals, and never force interaction. With my experience and science background, I stay alert to subtle behavioral or health changes and act promptly if anything seems off. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels safe and your home is respected while you’re away.
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Leala. She made Rua feel right at ease from the first minute. Leala kept us updated on Rua’s activities throughout the night. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leala or ask her to look after Rua again.”
“Mert is one of the nicest persons that I have ever met. Mel took to him immediately. His attention was superb with constant updates and clarifications. Would 100% recommend and will book again with him when needed.”
About: Active person with life-long interest and care of animals. Your pet wouldn’t be bored and would find a sitter ready to love them like you! Flexible schedule during the week, weekends and holiday times. Able to match care needs in most cases. Active lifestyle leaves lots of room for walks/runs. Treat pet and home like my own. My home is smoke-free, uncluttered and very tidy. No small children in home or plants that pose dangers.
About: I have grown up with various pets. I have experience caring for all size dogs. Have experience with special need care/elderly dogs. I can provide medications. I work Monday to Wednesday in office. Thursday and Friday from home. I am able to walk your pets in the afternoon/evenings and boarding on Fridays to Sunday. I offer a safe smoke free space. There are 3 children in the home 4,7 and 9. We live in a townhouse with a fenced backyard. In close proximity to a large park.
About: I've grown up with pets and have been responsible for their care since I was very small. Recently, I've spent some time petsitting for family and friends and would be thrilled to spend time with even more furry friends in my area. As a freelance graphic designer, my schedule and location requirements are very flexible. All I need is an internet connection and a chair! As such, I'm able to be a fairly constant presence in your pets' space, and tailor my workdays around their needs, to ensure the easiest time for them while you're away from home. As I don't live alone, I'm currently unable to care for your pet(s) in my own space, but have demonstrable experience over the last 8 months, staying with pets in their own home, where I can adapt to any tools and routines you yourself would use with them.
“Meryem was an absolutely amazing sitter! She followed our instructions to a T and made sure Lulu had everything she needed to feel comfortable and loved. From our first meet and greet, I could see how well she connected with Lulu. She asked important questions, like how she can make Lulu comfortable and her routine. Right away, Lulu opened up to her and wanted to play. Meryem is a very loving sitter and Lulu could definitely tell. Meryem even did an amazing job of making sure we felt comfortable leaving her. Lulu is quite an anxious dog, and Meryem seemed to really calm her down and loved Lulu as if Lulu was her own. Lulu has a bit of throwing up issue after drinking a lot of water and Meryem was great at making sure Lulu was burped so that she didn’t throw up. She took Lulu on a walk twice a day and sent us pictures daily. She went above and beyond in making sure my family was happy with leaving Lulu and always reassured us. When booking Meryem as a sitter, l accidentally forgot to add an extra day to my booking. Meryem was so accommodating and stayed the extra day to make sure Lulu was comfortable and happy. She kept the house clean and returned it to us the way we left it. I was quite nervous using Rover, but after my experience with Meryem, I feel much more confident about leaving Lulu with a sitter. When I go on vacation again, I will definitely book Meryem.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Grove
We had a wonderful experience with Emily! She stayed at our home for 13 days and took great care of both our dog and cat. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in good hands while we were away. She was responsible, caring, and attentive to their needs. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and everything in great condition. We truly appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. Thank you so much!
Liz was amazing with Kazo. Kazo being a cat that needs more patience & assistance to feel comfortable, Liz helped him build trust in a very short time.. She provides regular updates & makes you feel at ease, while being away from your baby.. Be rest assured that your pet is in the best hands.. Can't thank her enough & she would be my go to person for Kazo...
Veronica has been a pleasure to work with since I first contacted her. I needed someone to care for my 2 cats and 3 dogs and my house in my home for 11 days. She came to my house for an initial meet and greet and was very comfortable with all the animals. She also took the time to come over again just before I went away to discuss everything about the pets and house while we were gone. She was very responsive to all of my messages. While I was away she messaged me every day with updates and pictures, giving me comfort that all was well. She also handled a small injury to one of my dogs (in no way her fault) responsibly and communicated with me about it so we could determine the best course of treatment. The house was clean and the animals were great when I returned. I am happy to recommend her as a super kind, responsive and responsible petsitter.
Shenley did a wonderful job caring for our pet family. One of my cats is special needs right now and requires a lot of monitoring so I didn’t want him to be left alone. So grateful she was available to take care of him and keep all of them company. I don’t think my pets have ever been better looked after in Toronto. Shenley kept me up to date with reports and photos, and was respectful of the house. I would highly recommend her.

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 Glen Grove 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 Glen Grove 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 Glen Grove 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.
