“We chose travel dates based on Solana’s schedule because we trust her so much! We went away for an entire month while she house-sat for us and took care of our two cats. Every day while we were away we’d look forward to her updates. When we came back, the house was tidy, and our boys (cats) were totally calm and happy. We couldn’t ask for more!”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of Mickey 🙏🏽 from day 1 we noticed he really bonded with you and throughout your stay with him, you even taught him to lay down! Which is amazing and is a palpable feeling he really connected with you! Would really recommend you to all dog owners in my neighbourhood!”
“Mark did a great job keeping my big dogs well cared for and in good company. He kept me updated with photos and videos which made being away from my dogs much easier. I highly recommmend!!”
“Carmen did a great job taking care of our dog. He's advanced in years but we came back from our trip and he was comfortable, content, and all tuckered out from a nice walk. I strongly recommend her services.”
About: 1. I trained my own doggie. And he had a very good behaviour. And my training method is not violent, I use food and treat them when they doing the things right. 2. I am patient with all kinds of dog. 3. Experienced in all kinds of situations I work from home, so I am pretty flexible in schedule. And also, please make sure 2 day in advance. So that I could plan and interview the dog. I lived in a house with fenced and dog park round. I could live in clients house or either my house. No need to worried.
“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.”

“Selena was great! She kept us well informed throughout her stay with Margot, also being proactive in her communication when it seemed Margot wasn’t feeling 100%. Selena also left our house in amazing shape upon leaving!”
“Amy was really amenable for meet & greet. Very good with Toby upon meeting him and his eccentricities. I came home to find Toby comfortable and the house was in as good or better condition than I had left it before my trip. I would have great peace of mind leaving Toby in her care again!”

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.
“I was a bit apprehensive leaving my cat Timmy for the first time after moving to Toronto. Nejla put my fears to rest. She kept Timmy very happy and provided me with tremendous comfort with lots of updates and so many pictures. She left the condo in great shape too. I highly recommend Nejla for anyone seeking a pet sitter.”
“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.”

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 Gormley 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 Gormley 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 Gormley 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.
