“Liu was extremely timely and helped calm our dogs. Will sure book her again. She sent me pictures of chippy finally going to poo at 11:30 which was funny because I was concerned that he hadn’t popped before we left.”
“Christina was great with our furry and feather family. Everyone seemed happy and relaxed upon our return. She kept us updated throughout the stay and our house was kept neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend Christina!!”
“Jessica is kind and has an easygoing manner with both people and dogs - she is proactive in planning, responsible and trustworthy. We had no worries leaving our dogs at home in her care, and came home to happy, relaxed dogs. Jessica is and was always responsive and sent photos of the dogs to ease us missing them. I would hire Jessica again in an instant, and highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”
About: I went to college for Veterinary Assisting in 2019, and have had various experiences. I've worked in Vet clinics and hospitals and frequently pet sit for friends and family. I have a huge love of animals of every kind! From the furry, to the scaly, and even the feathered! I have experience working with animals from all stages of life, as well as furry friends with specialized diets. Put your faith in me and you won't be disappointed! I have full availability for your furry friends when I’m not at other pet sitting jobs! I am super flexible so feel free to send me a message to see if our schedules align :) This is dependent on the species, breed and what their specific needs are. For example, in college, I owned 2 rats who needed consistent enrichment activities, regular baths and grooming, as well as all the love and snuggles they wanted! They both lived 2 very long happy lives up until and even past their life expectancy. I now own a large and thriving aquarium which I love and adore.
About: I grew up in a home with cats and a dog! I now don’t have any pets and miss having a pet companion. Near the end of my dogs like she required extra care and medications. I have pet sit for friends many times (dogs and cats). I currently work a 9-5 job Monday to Thursday so I have weekends and evenings available to look after your pets! I can be flexible with remote work. When house sitting, my goal would be to make your pet fee comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I would follow their usual routine as closely as possible including meals, walks, playtime and any other specific instructions you provide. I would keep you updated with photos and check ins so you know how they’re doing.
“What I appreciate most about Bozhena is how attuned she is to Morgan's personality. She takes the time to actually play with her and sit with her and make sure she feels safe and comfortable while we're away. Every time we return, Morgan is relaxed and clearly hasn't missed a beat, which says everything about the quality of care Bozhena provides. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter their cat will actually be happy to see.”
“During our week-long vacation in the Bahamas, Sara took exceptional care of our dog, Bowie. We were initially anxious about leaving him with someone he didn’t know, but as soon as Sara walked in, Bowie immediately connected with her. Even our 1-year-old son felt comfortable around her. Sara exudes a kind and gentle energy that assured us Bowie was in good hands. Opting to stay at our home, she catered to Bowie's comfort, which is crucial given his tendency to get anxious in new places. Sara took him on long, enjoyable walks multiple times a day and showered him with attention. We're immensely grateful to Sara for her kindness and care towards Bowie. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for our furry family member.”

“We can’t thank Solana enough for the incredible job she did looking after both Petunia and our home while we were away. Leaving everything behind for an extended trip can be stressful, but from the moment we met Solana, we knew we had made the right choice. She treated Petunia with so much love, patience, and care. The updates and photos she sent while we were away meant so much to us and made it easy to relax, knowing Petunia was happy, comfortable, and being treated like one of her own. When we returned home, our house was spotless and exactly as we had left it. It was clear that Solana had taken exceptional care of both our home and our beloved pup. Solana is kind, trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Petunia, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a dog and house sitter. Thank you, Solana, for giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely be reaching out to you again in the future!”
About: I grew up with various pets and have always loved animals. I was trusted to walk and feed neighborhood dogs on numerous occasions. My family dog lived 13 years and our cat lived 20. I got my own dog as a puppy 5 years ago and did her training. I also got a kitten last year. I am currently working at home full time I have my own business and have a pretty flexible schedule for morning or afternoon pet care throughout the week I live in a quiet street with lots of green space and parks and trails close by. My dog is friendly and always loves a friend to play with. I also have a crate and baby gate if needed.
About: With over 26 years of experience as a pet parent to 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bunny and 2 guinea pigs, I now share my life with my greyhound, Bree. I'm certified in Pet First Aid and hold a Professional Pet Care Certificate, and I've volunteered with the Ontario SPCA since May 2015. I'm also pursuing certification as an ABC Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT) and Pet Massage Practitioner, and Bree & I are both proud members of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program. Giving back matters to me too: 10% of my profits go to an animal shelter of your choice, or I'm happy to pick one for you! In your home, I provide attentive daytime and evening care, including dog walks, meals, fresh water, baths, and litter box cleanup (and any other messes along the way!), plus plenty of play and cuddle time. I administer oral and topical medications as needed, and I log the date, time, and details of every visit so you always know exactly how things went. I also offer house-sitting support: collecting mail, newspapers, and packages; watering plants; and putting your garbage and recycling bins out on their scheduled days. I have a flexible work from home job that allows me to be flexible for your furry baby's need. That said, two day notice in advance would be ideal for me to move things around to accommodate your needs. I have a cat-like personality greyhound who is 5 year old. She loves her naps and if you looking for a friend for your furry friend who can provide some calm energy, look no further!
About: I’m a pet lover, home all day and really spend time with them as my own. Experienced with puppy as well as senior care administrating medication and keeping special diet. Working remote and home all day with my friendly old dog 🐶 dexter, who loves to meet other dogs and play with them in our big fenced backyard. I’m home all day and supervise dogs activity and spend time with them on regular basis. We have good fenced backyard where dogs can run freely and have fun.
“Vanessa was wonderful with our dog Diesel! She was punctual and a good communicator both before the booking and while she was in our home looking after our dog. I would highly recommend Vanessa to look after your pets!”
“Tatiana was wonderful! She was flexible, responsive and friendly! We also appreciated that she sent updates throughtout the visit We will definitely use her again.”
About: I spent a huge portion of my teenage-hood on a horse farm, surrounded by cats, dogs and horses. Last year a hosted a foster dog (4 y.o. Lab Mix) named Hippo with Redemption Paws (Non-for-Profit dog adoption organization in Ontario), and it was the most wonderful and gratifying experience, it taught me a lot about how dogs with anxiety should be approached and treated (Hippo went from hating his crate to chilling in it throughout the day within the 1.5 months I had him, all through positive reinforcement!). I often do dog walking and dog- and baby- sitting for friends and acquaintances on different occasions, as my love for animals and children constantly pushes me to be closer to them, especially if it helps their families. In Ukraine, where I moved from at the age of 17 back in 2017, I established a student volunteer organization to collectively feed and treat stray animals (gathering donations, etc). Right now in my own household I have two cats, but believe me when I say I am waiting for an opportunity to add a dog to our family pet division. By reading certified books on animal psychology (my favourite: “Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?” I've got a complete understanding of animal and pet main needs. The further I go through life, the more I realize how pets should be treated the same as respectful humans treat one another. I treat animals as equal companions, and communicate with them accordingly: with the use of positive reinforcement, physical encouragement like scratches, redirection of attention if needed, and engaging activities. My main goal while taking care of your pet is always to make sure they feel loved just the way they are loved by you, therefore I created a poll for my clients to fill out so that I know the best approach to each animal (provided after we start communication). With my endless energy resources, your pets won’t have the time to miss their beloved owner! Upon connecting, I always prefer to set up a call with my clients in order to talk through their expectations, routines, and any special preferences and notes before the first visit. I am rather flexible when it comes to dog sitting and dog walking, as well as cat care. The most important rule for me before spending time with your furry friend is to know how they interact with other dogs, and any information to note while being outside (squirrel/car reactivity, etc.) Weekdays I am flexible as I work from home (marketing coordinator) Weekends can be arranged for a full day or any time if agreed at least 4 days beforehand. Last minute inquiries are welcome in case I have an open window on a weekend. I follow the owner’s instructions to make sure the pup / kitty feels loved and taken care of. Each animal is unique and I find the right approach with your help!

“This was my first time booking Jessica to house-sit and take care of my dog while I was away on a 10-day vacation. She was incredibly professional, reliable, and clearly has a natural connection with animals—my dog absolutely loved her and even missed her after she left! I came home to a spotless house and a happy, healthy pup. I would definitely recommend Jessica!”
“Caitlin is amazing in taking care of my cats. She’s organized and experienced. My cats are super lucky to have her when I was away. l would totally book with her again in the future!”

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 Glenville 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 Glenville 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 Glenville 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.
