“Our pups received exceptional care from Kristina. We were updated with photos. A kennel was not an option and we were so happy that this went well. Definitely will be booking with Kristina in the future”
“Kylie is wonderful with our puppy! He’s only 4 months so requires a little extra care and Kylie goes above and beyond. Kylie maintains regular contact with us while we are away and sends pictures. We trust her completely in our home, as she cares for our little pup with love and caring.”
About: I have over two years of experience providing reliable and compassionate pet care for dogs. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and ensuring overall health and well-being. My experience also includes maintaining clean living environments, monitoring behavior for any signs of illness, and communicating regularly with pet owners to provide updates and peace of mind. I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care as well as pet owners. We own a family business where I work from home Mon-Fri. As long as internet is accessible, I do not need to leave for work! I like to break up my day by going for a walk with whichever furry friends are in my presence. I enjoy spending time with all types of dogs. Cuddlers who like to relax together, energetic dogs who like to go for long walks, I can be available to follow any meal times and/or medications.
“Myriam was a pleasure to work with. Her genuine love for animals was evident from the start, and our dog, cat, goats, and chickens were all exceptionally well cared for during our absence. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We returned to a clean, well-maintained home and happy, relaxed pets. I would confidently recommend Myriam to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again.”
About: I run Golden Alley, home of four Golden Retrievers. I know how hard it can be to leave your loved dog. I offer a special home away from home; or can come to you. I work from home so are flexible in our ability to provide care. I can come to your home to check in and provide care as well. I have an acre fenced yard with lots of privacy and space to roam. I also will do dog walks, treats and all kinds of doggie love.
About: Growing up I had the chance to raise and take part in the training of my own family pets as well as helping out with friends animals. I’ve had lots of experience house sitting for family friends for pets with all different needs:) I’ve participated in training classes, bathing, medication, walking and over night stays with no problems! If you would like references they are available as well :) I am currently working full time as a Recreation Therapist, in my spare time i would love the opportunity to help you and your family out! At home I have a puppy of my own, so I would prefer to over night stays and visits in clients homes however, she is very happy with all animals and very loving so if ever there was a need for a stay at my house it is fenced in and all “animal proofed“ already!
“I can't recommend Josephine enough—she was amazing! Before our 14-day trip, she met with us so Ollie could get comfortable, and he loved her from the start. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Josephine went above and beyond, even leaving our home cleaner than when she arrived. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!”
About: My first dog shared my crib with me and I have never been without a canine companion since! Currently I have two dogs - a completely bonkers Australian koolie and rescue dog I call the "house coyote". For the last 3 years we have travelled all around North America and Mexico in my little motorhome in search of the ultimate dog walk. I have worked and volunteered at vet offices and dog shelters and have yet to ever meet a dog I don't like. From the grumpy ones, to the frightened and the injured to the athlete - each dog is unique and it's my superpower to be able to recognize and harness what motivates him or her in order to bring as much satisfaction to their lives as I can. That I why I incorporate dog training disguised as games into my walks. I believe dogs need to exercise their brains as well as their bodies and your dog will return to you happy and fulfilled. Because I work freelance from my home office my schedule is my own to manage. this means Im free anytime. Getting out from behind the desk and into the fresh air is only ever a good thing! Rain,Snow or Shine I have the right footwear for anything. My dogs have a lot of freedom - but they have worked hard to earn it! I want to share my life with them so we started training from the day they arrived. I believe in awards based training and understanding the psychology of dogs, so we have a lot of mutual respect and patience for one another. Im proud to say I can take my guys anywhere and I do! that's not to say any of us are perfect but I provide security, exercise, boundaries, and games to keep us all a happy family. I offer the same approach to your pet(s)
“Kelly understood and took care of an elderly cat’s needs so well, including lots of medications. She sent lovely updates and photos so I got to see just how happy Mr Mae was. She was kind, professional and an all-round pleasure. Thanks so much Kelly!”
“Tia did a great job looking after our dog and cat while we were away! We received regular updates and our pets clearly had a great time in her company. Tia certainly went over and above looking after them. Definitely recommend!”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Loyalist 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 Loyalist 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 Loyalist 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
