About: Thanks for taking the time to read my profile! As a dog-owner, I have experienced the stress and anxiety of finding someone who will look after my dogs the same way I do. Someone who is patient with their quirks and willing to treat my dogs as their own…..so this is what I strive for while looking after your dogs! Most importantly, I want your time away (whether it’s for work, travel or something else) to be as stress free as possible. I have 10+ years volunteering with various animal rescue groups and I am a certified Therapy Dog team member (Magical Paws Pet Therapy) which means I volunteer in LTC homes and hospice with 2 of my dogs. I am also an approved foster home for multiple rescues across Ontario. We have fostered 16 rescue dogs in the past 4 years. I have a 15-year old daughter (loves animals and is a huge help with your dogs). Smoke-free home. I have a fully fenced yard, and live in the country (only 20 minutes from Ottawa and 3 mins from the 416). I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs & special needs dogs. Willing to administer medication. Whether your dog(s) want hiking and adventure, (cooling off in my dog pool, or just chilling on the couch) I’m happy to provide whatever level of activity your dog enjoys! Feel free to ask me anything else! I am home full time. If I need to step out for errands etc. I try to do so when my daughter is home so that pets are always supervised. On the rare occasion we both need to be out for a short period, dogs are given their own safe space to decompress and relax. I have 3 very friendly small dogs (all neutered and up to date on shots) and a fully fenced yard. We also have a small doggy pool for hot days.
“Loved the daily reports & photos for the drop-in visits; reports were thorough and timely. It would appear that my boys were very happy with having Heather drop-in for a couple of hours on the days there would be no one home to take them out for potty, walks / play, feed them lunch and top up their water bowls.”

About: As I have worked as a Pet Care Associate for more than 2 years now, I have interacted and cared for all sorts of pets will all sorts of personalities and needs. I also have my certification in First Aid for Dogs and Cats because I take caring for animals very seriously. In addition, I am currently studying in university for a program in Animal Physiology. I can fit the pet care in my routine very easily as I am a university student so whenever i’m not in class is when I am able to care for pets. I intend to give all my attention towards my client’s pet. I will make sure to properly understand the needs of each individual pet and that I meet those needs. Every pet is different, so not all of them require the same kind of care.
“We have used Bronya on several occasions for our Baby Pinot (cat) Pinot adores Bronya he runs to her when she calls him, she is amazing with Pinot. If you wish updates Bronya will send updates I would recommend Bronya at anytime with any of your babies, thank you Bronya for another great job of taking care of Pinot”

About: Ive been working with animals ever since I was a little kid. Grew up working with horses and having multiple animals at home! Your pets will be loved and taken well care of till you get back! Will provide updates and photos regularly to reassure you that your pet(s) are being loved and cared for while you are away from home! I’m currently working part-time in Barrhaven. My shifts are on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday’s from 7:00am-3:00pm. I am allotted an hour lunch break, so depending on the distance your house is away from my work, I would be more than happy to return to your home and provide any needed potty breaks! I am happy to spend as much time with your animals as you want! Whatever you need done for them, will get done: walks, poop and scoop, cuddles, etc!
“Sara is absolutely wonderful, she absolutely exceeded expectations, was wonderful to get to know, and my cats loved her! and on top of everything even sent some GORGEOUS photos of them while we were away! If she wasn't moving away from Toronto my wife and I would be hiring her for every upcoming trip, anyone who has the opportunity to work with her will not have any regrets! Thanks for taking such wonderful care of our furry kids!”
About: I’ve been walking my neighbours dog for years. Looking to expand and walk more dogs. I have a belgian malinois and a rottweiller mix so I am used to active dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to accommodate regular bookings as well as last-minute requests when possible. I love spending time with dogs and am excited to build my dog walking business while providing reliable care for pets in my community. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. During walks and drop-in visits, I will carefully follow all instructions you provide, including feeding, medications, bathroom routines, walking preferences, and any special needs. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs safely leashed on walks, and give them plenty of attention and playtime. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is safe and happy while in my care.
About: I have grown up with my dog I loved dearly and have always enjoyed meeting & taking care of other friends & family’s pets. Doing Rover for over 2 years now has been such a pleasure giving your pets the proper care, love & attention they so deserve <3 Currently I am working online for myself & create my own schedule, so I can be free when your pet needs me to be :) I can tend to your pets needs whether that’s a treat, walk, or playing inside or outside. I also have a fenced in big yard.
“Erica did a wonderful job with Louie during her drop-in visit today. She spent quality time playing with him, took him for a walk, and made sure all his needs were taken care of. Louie had a bit of an upset stomach, and Erica communicated with us right away, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was attentive, responsible, and keeping a close eye on him. Thank you, Erica, for taking such great care of Louie!”
About: I have vast experience with high energy, reactive dogs, I've worked hard on my own dog and will use the same level of care and patience with yours I work full time and currently am on an oncall rotation. Any appointments will have to work between that and my wife's work schedule aswell I will first follow any instruction based on what the client asks, plus use my own discretion if I notice anything abnormal. I will inform the client of any misbehavior and help them work through adjustments if necessary
About: I have had dogs big and small since I was a child. My mother and aunt run a dog kennel with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. They also run a local breeding service giving me lots of experience with dogs young and old. I currently still own a bernadoodle who loves his walks I’m sure as much as your dog does too. I work shift work and on my days off love staying active when I’m not with my children. I love being outside and what better excuse to have than to help get your loved ones some exercise. I am strictly a dog walker or someone who can come to your house and let your animals out in the yard for a stretch and exercise.
About: Hi! I’m Christina, and I am a proud owner of a Sheltie named Gus 🐕 and an orange tabby named Monster 🐈 Are you looking for a reliable, trustworthy, friendly dog sitter? I’m here for you! I have a flexible schedule and I also have a vehicle to easily commute to different places. I am an experienced dog walker and pet sitter of various sizes and breeds. My pets are both seniors so I have extensive experience with senior pets and administering medications. Please contact me for a free consultation to see if I’d be a good fit for you and your family ❤️ Currently, my schedule is quite flexible. I am currently working part-time as a counsellor, working as a dog walker several days a week and doing a Master’s program online asynchronously. I am able to adapt my schedule for your needs with sufficient notice :) At this time, I am unable to house sit other pets at my house. However, I am able to go to your home and look after your pets! Some things I do to ensure safety include following client instructions carefully, avoiding other dogs while walking, not using my phone or music while walking a dog to ensure my focus is on the dog and our surroundings, and ensuring dogs are kept on leash or in a fenced backyard to prevent them from running loose.
“I asked Vannesa to take care of my cat a few times now. I felt good about leaving my cat in Vannesa's care each time. I also booked a few times last minute and I appreciated a lot the willingness to accommodate that. Great communication. As far I can tell, my cat received a lot of love each time (along with all the food, water, hygiene care <3 ). I'm likely to book again!”
“Taylor did a great job dropping in to look after my cats over a couple of days. Being able to pay special attention to each of their behaviours and needs is much appreciated. I'm sure we'll become a repeat client!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner for many years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of raising and caring for Mack, my black Lab who has been part of our family since 2012, Lilo, my beloved Miniature Pinscher who has passed away, and Harley, our Boston Terrier and Dachshund mix. Today, I share my life with Cookie, our four-year-old German Shepherd. Having experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, affection, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I know that pets are family, and I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while their owners are away. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I give my own! My daily routine includes three walks a day, plenty of playtime, affection, and cuddles! ❤️ I want every furry guest to feel safe, happy, and right at home while receiving all the love and attention they deserve. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! ❤️ I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I follow their routines, respect their individual personalities, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. With my own German Shepherd, Cookie, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands. 🐾
“Vibhu took very good care of Hank, my chocolate lab pup! He was friendly, punctual, and followed the instructions I left, and made my puppy feel comfortable and happy. This was the second time Vibhu looked after Hank, and I would definitely book again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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 Kars 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!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
