“Very professional, friendly, clean and clearly loves animals. My boy was well taken care of and I received pictures throughout the weekend of their adventures. Thanks Jake!”
About: I’ve raised everything from large Labs and Dalmatians to my current friendly, vaccinated 2-year-old Chihuahua- Muffy. We live in a cozy, one-level home with a decent-sized backyard and a great park just steps away! Whether your pup needs big-dog exercise or small-dog snuggles, I treat every guest like family and strictly follow your routine to ensure they feel safe and right at home. I shih-tzu not, your dog will have a paws-itively great time! I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and am happy to support any training routines you have in place. Whether it’s reinforcing basic cues like 'sit' and 'stay' or working on leash manners during our park visits, I’ll ensure your pup stays consistent while you're away. Since I'm home all day, I can provide the frequent, short training sessions and immediate praise that help good habits stick. Whether your dog prefers their own crate for a peaceful night’s sleep or likes to snooze on a plush dog bed, I’m happy to follow whatever setup makes them feel most comfortable. Because my home is a one-level 'safe zone,' I can easily keep their favorite spot nearby so they always feel like part of the family. I provide a supervised environment where your pet is never left alone, ensuring they stay happy, relaxed, and secure throughout their stay.
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since I was young, and can handle them during the adjustment period, and if they need some encouragement to come out. I’m a timely communicator with owners, and can handle things such as feedings, cleaning, and just companionship in general :). I’m a part-timer looking for some flexible work as a full-time student. I have weekends and most Fridays off, and can work around my class times most days. I can provide timely feedings, companionship, frequent communication with the owners, and can clean up after them. I’m willing to adapt to what’s need :)
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lianne was absolutely phenomenal, and I truly could not have asked for a better first experience with Rover. From the moment she arrived, she was attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. Despite bad weather and changes to my travel plans, Lianne went above and beyond by staying later than originally required to make sure Rou was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. She sent multiple text and photo updates throughout the stay, which gave me such peace of mind, and even proactively alerted me to weather changes at home so I knew exactly what was happening. When I returned, I was greeted with the sweetest surprise — a Polaroid photo of Rou waiting on the table. On top of that, she had stripped the bed and tidied up Rou’s toys, which was completely unexpected and so appreciated. Lianne is kind, reliable, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Thanks to her, my first experience using Rover was an amazing one. I would not hesitate for a second to book her again and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.”
“Cassie was an exceptional carer for our two dogs, both of whom are rescues with unique demands, one of whom can be very suspicious and territorial. By the end of our trip Cassie had become besties with both the doggies, and it was such a relief and joy to see how happy our dogs were with her. She provided regular updates and was excellent and prompt with communication, and was punctual. Our house was also left in excellent, tidy condition. We couldn't recommend Cassie more highly, and she will be our go-to for any pet sitting in the future.”
“Narendra Babu went well above and beyond in taking care of our pets. He made sure they were fully cared for, and he also kept the place spotless while we were away. We will definitely go back to him, if available, the next time we need pet sitting.”
About: I’ve had my dog Billy since I was 16! I put in a lot of training and work with him and he became my service dog. Now I’ve been around lots of other dogs and can’t wait to meet even more! I’m home every day, all day so I have plenty of time to spend with any new friends spending time here! We always spend time outside morning, afternoon and night, with lots of needed in between potty breaks. Walks around the neighbourhood are a fun time! Let me know if you don’t want that and that no problem. I have a yard but it isn’t fenced in. Long lines or leashes are used. I have two dogs who love spending time with new friends! Crates are welcome and have their own area. Enrichment activities are our favourite way to pass time but we can’t wait to figure out your pups
“Our dog Sadie has severe attachment issues and Roxanne bonded immediately with her. She took her for walks very often and was a good clean houseguest. She came prepared with supplies and was very responsible and caring.”
“Cassandra was an awesome sitter for our 3 pups! We had to head out of town at the last minute and we were very thankful she was available. She sent us lots of photos and updates. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Thanks Cassandra!”

We love Jake - he is amazing - reliable - loves dogs - updates with photos while you are away - has a great sense of humor - leaves your place clean as if he wasn’t there at all!! My girls are not stressed as they are in their own environment. I will definitely recommend Jake to others and use him again in the future.
Wow! Claudia was an absolutely incredible dog and house sitter. From the very beginning I could tell she was going to be a great fit for us, she was responsible and kind and communicative. She got along with my dogs so well and keenly observed when my senior dog came got a UTI and managed after hours vet care, virtual vet appointments, pharmacy visits all the while keeping me up to date! My house was sparkling when we got back, it's never been as clean as after her visit. I can't recommend Claudia enough!
Frankie provided excellent care for our two dogs in our home while we were out of the country. She was quick to offer a visit ahead of time to meet our elder boys, and provided updates throughout her stay with them. They were very well taken care of and she kept our home clean and tidy for our return. I would highly recommend Frankie, and will absolutely have her pet sit again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Greater Sudbury on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 32 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Greater Sudbury. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Greater Sudbury 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.
Tip: 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 Greater Sudbury 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 Greater Sudbury 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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
