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.
“Megan was fantastic with my cat Mario! Communication was smooth and reassuring. She sent daily photos and updates. Mario is usually shy with new people, but he warmed up to her quickly and seemed happy and relaxed the whole time. I came home to a healthy, content cat and a spotless space. Thank you, Megan! I highly recommend her as a caring and reliable cat sitter and will definitely book her again.”

About: I will give the love and attention your dog needs. Always active and love having a furry friend tag along on my adventures. I love bonding with animals and helping them be the most well-trained fur baby. I am open to interacting with various breeds of dogs and enjoy the various personalities behind each dog. I also make trips to the dog park along the way to allow dogs to interact and socialize with others. I am flexible in meeting the special needs of dogs who require more attention and/or dietary plans. I currently have a family dog (3-year-old shih tzu) who lives with my parents the majority of the time. I have a puppy named Atlas who is full of energy and loves welcoming new visitors to our home. He loves to play with all dogs and is very friendly. Dogs have always played a big part in my life and remain a top priority.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes since I was a child, and I grew up in the countryside surrounded by animals (even saving wild rabbit litters more than once!). Additionally, I work part-time at a local pet store, where I've received extensive training in pet care and health. I have lots of flexibility around my schedule, but usually mornings or weekends (excluding Saturdays) work best for me! I'm always willing to move things around if needed. I have experience with crate-trained animals and free roamers. I’m open to any of your preferences regarding your pets' care, and will strive to maintain their routine. Part of my job requires completing Animal Care courses, so I have above-average knowledge regarding pet health and care. It's important to me to treat your pets the way you would, including working on any training or behaviours you've been working on at home! I also own a cat, but she is very friendly and well-socialized, so I'll take any preferences regarding her interactions with your animal into consideration while they stay with me. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your baby is well cared for so you can enjoy your time while they're away.
About: I’ve had a dog for the past 12 years and have learned a lot about caring for her individual needs. She can be anxious around new people and loud noises, so I’ve learned to stay calm and give her time to feel comfortable. Now that she’s a senior, I’ve also learned to adapt to her changing needs, from shorter walks to extra rest and patience. As a university student, I have a flexible schedule, and I’m usually free in the mornings. I also work a couple of evenings a week, but I’m happy to work around your schedule! I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy by following their usual routines and respecting their individual needs. I take the time to let pets get comfortable with me at their own pace, especially those who are shy or anxious. I also follow the owner's instructions closely so you can feel confident that your pet is well cared for while you’re away
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.
“Christie was awesome! Her communication is great, she is very responsive to messages and followed our instructions for our cat’s care to a T. She gave us regular updates on our cat and was available to answer questions and give updates on him as requested. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. Our beloved pup just passed away and my daughter and I are looking to spoil your pet with love while you are away. We have a huge fenced in yard and love going for walks. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pets needs. We go for daily walks and I have dog training experience if required. I have a large fenced in yard and a smaller fenced in yard. I also have a medium sized dog crate if needed. We are able to accommodate any pet needs.
“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: What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, reliable presence and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s a high-energy puppy still learning boundaries or a senior pet needing gentle, consistent support. I’m very comfortable administering medication and creating a low-stress environment for older pets who may have mobility or medical issues. I genuinely care about creating a safe, nurturing space so your pets feel secure and loved while you’re away. I prioritize structure, so feeding times, walks, play, and quiet companionship are built into my schedule just like any other important commitment. Whether it’s morning walks to start the day, midday check-ins for attention and exercise, or evening routines to wind down, I genuinely enjoy creating a rhythm that keeps pets happy and relaxed. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I look forward to and make space for, because their well-being and comfort matter to me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with designated areas for rest, play, and feeding. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including meal times, walks, and medication if needed, while also providing plenty of attention and enrichment. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the utmost respect and care. I stick to their established routines and make sure their pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I also keep communication open—sharing updates, photos, and any changes I notice in behavior or health—so clients feel reassured and informed while they’re away.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our golden retriever! She was amazing from start to finish - flexible, accommodating, and so easy to communicate with. Our pup absolutely loved her, and it gave us such peace of mind while we were away knowing he was in great hands. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
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.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manotick
Antony did an amazing job watching over our two kitties over a period of 7 days. He made sure he had a clear list of items to check on for them before his first visit which I really appreciated, including a meet and greet before the first official visit. While we were away, he flagged an overflowing water fountain for us, asked for further instructions and actually went above and beyond what we would have expected, staying over time. He sent regular updates and always came on time. I would strongly recommend his services and will also likely be using them again in the near future.
Jiaqi is amazing! She is very communicative and she does everything to make sure your pet is well taken care of! She took lots of pictures and videos of my cat and did a great job changing his water and cleaning his litter box! I will be a return customer for sure!
Ivane watched my cat for a week and I could tell that she took great care with him. I know my cat and there’s been times when I’ve come home from a vacation and his fur is scattered and he looks stressed, but when I came home from this week away, he was calm and collected. I knew instantly he was comfortable and happy to have an experienced animal caregiver like Ivane. She did an outstanding job with my cat and I would recommend her to anyone.

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 Manotick 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.
