“My dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for, she loved her walk by the river and playing with their dog. It was very nice to get photo updates and there was clear communication throughout. They were friendly, reliable, and able to accommodate our pick‑up and drop‑off times and speak both French and English. Excellent service, would absolutely rebook.”

About: Our experience petsitting has been so inspiring and eye-opening. Petsitting has enabled us to live and visit Leeds (UK), Halifax, Montreal, Brossard, St-Bruno, Quebec (Canada) Vermont, New Hampshire (USA) and Seville (Spain). We are so grateful for the opportunities that petsitting has opened up for us. The sits have ranged from 2 weeks - 1 month at a time, with pets ranging from young to elderly dogs, young to old cats, rabbits, fish and more. We have experience administering medication and supporting the animals through end-of-life care. Taking care of plants is also a joy of ours! The animals we have cared for hold a special place in our hearts and it's always difficult saying goodbye. I am currently an online English teacher, starting their own teaching academy, so I work remotely and love to give love and affection to animals whilst I work. I work remotely, so if you have needy pets, we will be at home the majority of the time! Our apartment can only hold one small dog and one cat at a time, we do not have a garden however, we take the dogs out for several walks and toilet breaks.
About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by pets of all kinds, with hands-on experience caring for horses, dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and both small and large breed dogs. While I’m comfortable with many animals, my specialty and passion are dogs—this is not just pet sitting, but a thoughtfully curated dog boarding experience. I offer in-home dog boarding in a calm, private setting where each dog receives personalized care, attention, and enrichment. My home sits on just over an acre of land, providing plenty of space for supervised outdoor time. Although the property is not fenced, safety is always my top priority; outdoor play is enjoyed on long leashes, allowing freedom to explore while remaining secure. Located close to scenic trails and nearby dog parks, your dog will enjoy regular walks, fresh air, and stimulating outings tailored to their energy level and personality. I focus on maintaining routines, comfort, and a stress-free environment so your dog feels relaxed, happy, and at home while you’re away. If you’re looking for a reliable, attentive, and elevated boarding experience where your dog is truly cared for like family, I’d love to welcome them into my home. Because someone is always present, dogs enjoy a calm, structured environment with plenty of attention, regular outdoor breaks, playtime, and relaxation. This setup is especially ideal for dogs who prefer companionship, benefit from routine, or need a little extra reassurance while their owners are away. Our shared approach allows us to provide attentive, reliable care in a home setting—creating a relaxed, secure, and welcoming experience where dogs truly feel at ease. My dog is extremely playful and loving, he is still in puppy life and is very excited to have furry friends over. He is up to date with all his shots and vaccine requirements !!!
About: I did pet-sitting in Alberta before moving to Ontario with my family. I grew up on a farm with horses, chickens, dog and cats. My husband and I have had one litter of puppies with one of our dogs. Currently a homeschooling mom to three girls ages 12/10/8 who love animals. Your pet would be around someone all the time and the kids would shower your pet with attention! We do not have a fenced yard but regularly walk throughout the day in any weather. There isn’t a thing as bad weather, only bad gear!
About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs my whole life, including my childhood family Poochin and labrador mix up to their senior years. I have kept friends and family dogs multiple times, our dog Weiser is well socialized with many different breeds. I love hiking and walking dogs and feel comfortable handling dogs of all sizes. I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule, therefore I would have a lot of time on my hands to spend with your pup. I have a fenced yard, I also have a young friendly socialized retriever. Dogs are free to roam in the house. I also can crate if needed. And we have a specific room in the back of the house for dogs if space and tranquility in needed
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life. Neighbors, friends and family rely on me babysit their pets while they are away, and call on me in emergency situations for advice with behavioural or health related issues. My love for animals knows no bounds - I currently volunteer with Marshall's Dog Rescue as well as Freedom Dog Rescue and only babysit when I do not have a foster in home. I have experience with puppies as young as 8 weeks as well as older, senior dogs. I work in a seasonal industry and as such, am laid off for the winter months. I am home all day and able to walk and play with your pup until we are both exhausted! I live in a quiet village with lots of back roads, perfect for quiet walks. I have a pack of aussie mixes - two rescues - so there will also be friends to play with and your pup will never be lonely. Is there something you've been trying to work on with your dog? A trick? Crate training? Let me know and I'll be happy to help while they're with me!
“She did a great job look after Jasper. Kept us updated with photos and how he was doing. Was taken on a long walk with lots of exercise and fun. She was accommodating of our late schedule and stayed for a bit longer than we originally requested. Highly recommend!”

About: With 14 years of experience and a true love for dog's, I provide attentive, personalized care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. From puppies to seniors, I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in a home away from home. I specialize in puppy care, senior dog support, and gentle handling for nervous pups. I also accommodate non-crate-trained dogs and offer professional grooming services, so pups can go home feeling fresh and happy! I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, daily walks, and plenty of cuddles and playtime. I ensure each pup gets the individual care and attention they need! I create a calm, structured, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can socialize, play, and relax. I provide frequent supervised outdoor time and regular walks since my yard is currently partially fenced. Dogs are welcome to roam the house freely sit on furniture, and I ensure a safe and loving home for all pets.
“Loretta was incredible with our dog Isla. She made arrangements to take our pet last minute and made sure she was well taken care of. Isla got to socialize with her own two pups and she took her for several walks and made her feel comfortable. Highly recommend Loretta and will use her again when we’re in town.”

About: I am deeply concerned about the well being of all living beings. I am more than happy to provide services for your pet and plants if needed and can attend to light housework as well. I am retired and this have a great deal of time on my hands hands. Looking forward to offering my services to the community to help them take care of the companions. I will be installing a fence very shortly but for the time being all walks with be done with a leash. I have two acres of property in the Laurentians on a lake.
“Melissa was fantastic. She took such great care of Gigi. I’ve never been apart from my dog. But I was instantly put at ease by Melissa and her family. She sent me pictures throughout the day showing what a great time Gigi was having. Can’t thank her enough. Will definitely be using her pet services again in the future.”

About: Being a mom to my border collie/aussie shepherd for almost 5 years showed me how pure a pet’s love is, and it made me want to look for more opportunities to spend time with pets. I currently volunteer at Penny Lane Animal Sanctuary, where I help take care of animals that come from situations of abuse and neglect. It is hard, rewarding work and I get to spend some time with cows, goats, sheep’s (and more!) while I am at it. I love taking care of animals and getting to know their quirks and unique personality. With a pretty high-energy dog that requires long walks, lots of exercise and mental stimulation, I can help you taking care of your pet, if you are struggling to find the time or the energy, or if you are going on vacation. I am available for walks, drop ins, house sitting, boarding or daycare. Send me a note if you’d like to schedule a meet and greet! 🐶 My schedule is pretty flexible. Whether it’s during the weekend, in the afternoon, evening, or a lunch drop in, my schedule is flexible enough to accommodate that. If you have an emergency event and need to leave the house, I can make myself available!

About: Pet care/self-care, all beings need this. Animals have a sovereign spirit, and domesticated animals depend on us. I may be in touch with another person or animal in play and work. When I think "I'm on a walk,” the dogs is on tour of neighborhood messages on bushes, trees, concrete. I know about “time to play,” or “gotta pee” messages. I bring: honesty, alertness, openness, confidence, respect and mutual understanding. I practice these with my human and animal friends. Thanks for reading. I have gained much personally by taking care of dogs and continue practicing these principles as they apply to people and dogs. Howl! Woof! Yap! Hmmm. pfffft Woof! Yap! Hmmm Alan [traduction bientôt] I live in Oka and serve this region. Available over the holidays. Thank you for reading and paying attention. Contact me for any further details. There is fenced in space next to the house and there's lots of space to walk in the country on leash. Need to know your animals usual exercise patterns.
About: Depuis toujours, j’ai une passion inconditionnelle pour les animaux. J’ai eu la chance de partager ma vie avec un boxer pendant 15 ans, ainsi qu’avec plusieurs chats. Actuellement, nous accueillons fièrement une magnifique Bulldog français nommé Princesse, âgée d’une ans et deux mois, en plus de nos deux chats. Ma fille de 7 ans et moi-même prenons soin de chaque animal qui nous est confié comme s’il faisait partie de notre famille. Actuellement, je travaille chez moi, ce qui me permet de profiter pleinement de ma passion pour les animaux. Pendant mes pauses, j’aime prendre le temps de sortir et jouer à la balle avec les chiens. J’ai la chance de résider dans un quartier paisible, à proximité d’une magnifique forêt. J’adore également me promener dans cette nature luxuriante et apaisante. Je réside dans une maison qui offre de belles commodité pour mes chiens. J’ai aménagé un enclos extérieur (pour petit chien) équipé d’un parcours et piscine spécialement conçus pour eux, afin qu’il puissent profiter des journées chaudes en toute sécurité. De plus, à moins d’avis contraire, mes chiens sont les bienvenus pour monter sur les divans et partager des moments de détente avec nous.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Hawkesbury commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ON ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
