“Aaron did a great job taking care of our 2 giant fur babies, our home and our plants! He provided updates and pictures and I felt secure that everything was well taken care of while we were away for 5 days. We came home to happy dogs, a clean house and peace of mind! I would happily hire him again next time we go away.”

“Zeno hit it off right away with Marie. Loves having Marie here to look after him when we leave the house. Zeno suffers from separation anxiety and had a fabulous time chilling with Marie while we were gone. (and we didn't have to worry about him while we were gone...which was wonderful)”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! If you are anything like me, your furbabies are just as much a part of your family as anyone else. That is why I know you want the best care possible. Not only do I provide a fun, loving atmosphere, it is also safe and caring. I will treat them as well as I do my own. I have grown up with over 6 dogs (always having 2 at a time) and also with 4 cats. I currently have a 3 year old golden named Fax, and an 11 year old cat named Silver. Professionally, I have volunteered as well at the SPCA hospital and have finished my Veterinary Office Management certificate program at Mohawk College. Through Red Cross, I've attained my First Aid & CPR certification for cats and dogs. Over the past 12 years, I have worked at 4 different veterinary hospitals (emergency too), helping animals of all ages. Currently I'm at a physical rehabilitation facility for animals helping with pre and post op care - SO rewarding. I offer a variety of services; whether that be dog walks, cat visits, pet sitting, daycare, nail trims, brushing, bathing or post-op care. I look forward to doing business with you and your lovely animal/s in the near future! I work part time 2 - 3 days per week at an animal physical rehabilitation clinic, which leaves the rest of the time to help others pets. I even dog walk sometimes before work, during my lunches, or after work on those days too. I would treat them with the upmost kindness, so they keep their happy routine. I'm great with following all owners instructions (may get spoiled here and there if allowed!). I have a fenced yard, I enjoy going on leashed walks (working at a vet clinic I'm very weary of strangers dogs and can never be too careful - I do not do dog parks personally). If needed, I would see if they enjoy being brushed/cuddled or like their personal space. I always have my own forms filled out for my records so I know who to contact in case of emergencies, if they have allergies, if meds are needed, if they have a favourite toy etc.

About: I have taken care of our pets since I was a kid. I have had everything from the regular dogs and cats to sheep, chickens and horses. I am a true animal lover and so is my husband. I work full time but in a rotation that allows flexibility. Love spending time at home with our furbabies and enjoying our backyard with yard work and gardening. We have a fully fenced yard for you pet to run around and beautiful areas as we are a few minutes from Bayfront park/waterfront piers. We have 2 furbabies of our own and we are both animal lovers.

About: I’ve gotten experience with various animals over the years. I love to support them and help them feel happy and cared for. I’m careful not to teach bad habits. I listen to what they want and need. Tell me what you need and I can fit something in! I am available most of the time in someway - so we can work it out! I use a calm tone where I don’t overexcite the animal and provide good manners reinforcement and also play and engagement. I make sure I am predictable and don’t cause the animal to be uncertain. I follow training and routine that the animal is most used to. I assert my boundaries so the animal knows what to expect from me. I like to give the animal space and respect. I also love to show affection or approval through touch sometimes and especially through positive communication and rewards.

About: Hello and thank you for visiting my Rover page! My name is Victoria and I've had dogs my whole life. I absolutely love all dogs. I currently work from home full time so I'm willing and able to dog sit and board dogs most of the time. I'm usually home every weekend as well. Would love to meet and greet your pets! My job is fully remote so I'm at home working full time. I am able to sit or board your pet into my weekly routine with ease. I always fit in a walk or two during my work day as well. I have a fenced yard, two big parks near my house for walks and a crate if need be. I provide peace of mind by sending pictures daily and making sure that your animals are well taken care of.

“Laura was amazing!! First time leaving my new puppy so wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Laura was fantastic. Great with communication (lots of photos and updates) and really cared to keep up the puppy training I’m doing. Very responsible (even with an unexpected house issue) I knew I was leaving my dog (and house) in capable hands. Will definitely use Laura’s again! Highly recommend.”

About: Welcome! We are a young married couple who adores animals. Caring for pets is our cherished side hobby rather than a high-volume business, so we choose to host only one family at a time. This allows us to offer a private and peaceful home sanctuary where we can pour 100% of our attention, warmth, and care into your little one. Our work-from-home schedule means your dog enjoys constant companionship, a gentle and quiet environment, and all the couch cuddles they could ever want. For our walking and house sitting services, we welcome well-mannered dogs of all sizes, ensuring every pup receives a tailored, boutique care experience. We are both small business owners with primarily work-from-home schedules. We have very flexible days and are able to give your pup all of the attention, cuddles, and supervision that it may need. We also love to drive the little one over to local hikes and beaches for safe but exciting afternoon adventures. Our home is peaceful with only two adults living here. We do not have kids or other pets and safety is our first priority. Our home is a stress-free, premium experience, particularly well, suited for smaller pets.

About: Are you looking for someone who will provide quality care and love your pet as much as you do? Look no further! I've been born and raised with multiple animals varying in breeds and sizes my entire life! I am a kind, caring, hard working professional that lives independently. I currently have one small dog of my own, he is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. At your request, I am able to provide alternate arrangements for him should your pet need solo care. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet to fulfill your needs and my own love for animals! You are guaranteed a genuine, kind, wholehearted animal lover who will provide exceptional care, love, affection, attention, and a comfortable living environment. I currently live in a three-story two bedroom townhouse on my own. While your pet is with me, they will be my number one priority! I'm more than happy to share my bed for cuddles at night, or maintain your routine of sleeping in a dog crate or any other special requests. I am directly across the street from a park, which ensures your pet will receive quality exercise in a beautiful environment that provides flexibility for either independence or socialization along our route. My career as a social worker speaks to my kind, compassionate, attentive nature. Whether your pet needs a lap to sit on, or someone to play fetch with… I am sure you will feel confident leaving your loved one in my hands... they may love it so much they don't want to leave! I work a balance of both in office and from my home. My office is only 15 minutes from my home which allows for easy lunch walks and minimal alone time. I have a small dog as a companion for your fur baby, or if preferred, he can be housed elsewhere. Your pet will be safe and secure in my townhome and only outside on leash. I am a confident dog walker and live in a safe neighbourhood across from a park.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was young, and friends, family, and clients have trusted me with their pets for years. I’m calm, observant, and patient, which helps animals feel safe quickly. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and special needs, including anxious or reactive dogs, senior pets, medication schedules, and maintaining structure. I treat every pet as if they’re my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and genuine care I have a very flexible schedule and can make sure to be able to give every pet the time and attention they need. I can check in on break or for scheduled breaks etc. I have a fenced yard and occasionally have my boy Duke with me he is a very kind dog. I go on lots of walks and hikes and will follow any schedule your dog may need. I am familiar with medication schedules and dietary restrictions as well

About: Pet sitting (Longterm): 30 bucks a day Pet day care (Daily): 25 bucks a day -5 for under 4 hours +5 for over 12 hours +5 for last minute changes Child tutoring: 20 bucks an hour Child sitting: 15 bucks an hour I grew up around pets, I love animals though I don’t currently have any of my own. I have a house with a fenced back yard and lots of space. I've been doing this for years now and have had plenty of experience and happy clients! I’m a chill friendly person. Also patient. I grew up with 3 dogs and 5 parrots so I have plenty of animal experience. I've also had a number of successful and happy customers here and on Kijiji where more positive reviews can be found under 99% Geek Sitting! The Terms of Service prevent me from telling people to seek me off the app, and only allow me to say that it's safer to stay in the app. They monitor conversations and penalize harshly! I live near the intersection of Charlton and Locke and would be happy to host your pets here, but if you would rather I can be talked into other arrangements. I can also do 'sitting for kids, or tutoring, I'm knowledgeable in many areas. I've also spent time on Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace and offered a discount at 25 a day but obviously it doesn't offer you the same safety you get here, and it's against the rules to ask you to find me there, so I wont. "Kerri Murtland January 12th 2026 Geek99% is an absolute legend! I swear by his service. I have made him my permanent dog care provider. Geek99% is flexible, dependable, dedicated, supportive, friendly and always willing to take care of my dog last minute. 10/10 highly recommended services" "Taylor Simmons May 16, 2025 We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Andrew! He took care of our dog, Suki, for three months while we searched for a new home, and throughout the entire time, he went above and beyond. Andrew kept us regularly updated with messages and photos which gave us so much peace of mind. Every time we visited Suki, she was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. It was obvious she was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care and attention Andrew gave her — he's truly someone you can trust with your pet." I'm always available, as a writer and agoraphobic I don't get out much. You can find me here any day of the week and weekends. I'm attentive, kind, empathetic, understanding and patient. I love animals. I grew up with them, but I don't have the money or resources to have my own. I think being able to earn money getting to hang out with cool animals and chill with them sounds like the dream. I'm responsible, loving, and stable.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lower End

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 Lower End 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 Lower End 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 Lower End 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.
