“It was our first vacation where I wasn’t worried about the dogs. Christina did an amazing job and took wonderful care of our two dogs. Will definitely use her again. Very happy to have found her.”

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.
“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!”
“Sophie is the best sitter we have had! She is reliable, punctual, knowledgeable, professional as well as passionate about animals. She provided absolutely fantastic care for my 2 dogs. Though one is reactive dog and needs cautious attention on walks, she did amazing job on walking my dog and the video showed how happy she was with her on walk, which made me really surprised! On heavy rainy day, Sophie entertained them with a variety of indoor activities. Each update including photos and videos showed how happy my dogs were with Sophie and felt comfortable and relaxed. She followed instructions precisely but more than that she gave them extended care like cooking handmade chicken toppings which was perfectly similar to mine! They loved Sophie’s toppings very much ! I was very impressed with her thoughtfulness and kindness to take care of my dogs. The house has absolutely been well taken care of. She left home spotless, even windows! After long trips, we immediately felt happy with clean house too. I am pretty sure that I would like to work with her in the future too! I cannot recommend her enough ☺️She is the best!”
“We are so thrilled to have found Raffaella! She is a trustworthy, kind and patient dog and house sitter that took the time to really understand all of our dog Potseys “quirks and sensitivities”. We were super worried to travel as our dog is in his senior years and very sensitive to being alone as his eyes and hearing have deteriorated. After a couple days with Raff, he was comfortable an eating and following his ( lazy) routine as per normal. We trusted Raffaella in our home as well overnight and having her here was a blessing for our furbaby and for us ! I would book her without question over and over again. Potsey and our family thank you so much! We hope our paths cross again!”
“Kassandra house sat for us and looked after my dog Ollie while we were away over the weekend. Ollie had a blast and I felt better knowing that Ollie was being so well taken care of. Kassandra sent us lots of pictures and updates which was really nice and she left our house spotless. Thanks again Kassandra!!!”
“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!”
“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.”

“This was the third time Laura looked after my dog, Luna, and once again she did an amazing job. Laura truly understands Luna’s needs and has taken the time to get to know her personality and makes Luna comfortable. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos, as well as Laura’s openness in sharing any challenges Luna might present. Knowing Luna was in Laura's thoughtful care gave me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone, especially to anyone who has a pup with anxiety.”

“We had the pleasure of having Adrian house sit for our two dogs and cat. From our first meeting I knew he would be great. All the animals took to him quickly and his communication and attention to detail gave me much reassurance. We were away for two weeks and Adrian sent messages and pics daily which meant alot to us. He took care of our home and pets like it and they were his own. I will definitely use his services again and highly recommend him!”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in King 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 King 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 King 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. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
