About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. My father was a certified breeder. I have a 2 year old Australian Shepherd/Husky. Also, we had a special needs dog who had many issues. I have 13 years of experience with administering medications and insulin via syringe. I’m currently working part time and starting my own business so I’m looking for something to fill the gaps. Filling my time sheet with animals is the best. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for a dog to run and do their business. Plenty of toys and fun things for them to do.
“Leslee was wonderful and very attentive. She is a very kind caregiver, she was genuinely interested in the activities and comfort our pets would enjoy while we were away, and she spent quality time with them making sure they were at ease in our absence. I would 100% recommend her, and look forward to booking her again the next time we go away. Thank you Leslee for all the pics and the updates!!”
“We have just returned from our 5 day trip, and Paige was so amazing with our three fur babies! She sent us videos and pictures daily. In all of her communications she described their behaviour as if we were home, which tells us that they were so comfortable with her! Will definitely use her again!!!”
“Thanks Nicole for taking such great care of Lajla while we were away. She is normally nervous around new people, yet she was at ease with you right away giving you kisses. Your good nature and professionalism was appreciated. We enjoyed the daily pictures of Lajla that you sent of your walks and snuggles. It set our minds at ease knowing that she was well looked after and that you were able to stay overnight so she had someone to snuggle with. I would recommend your services to anyone and would not hesitate to contact you again to look after Lajla. Thanks again!!!”
“Sierra dealt with my many instructions and our puppy’s tummy issues no problem. She came to meet our pup beforehand and I was confident she would take care of our pup well. Highly recommend Sierra!”
About: I have experience pet sitting for friends and relatives. I follow instructions to the letter while making sure your pet is cared for and has the best time. I work full time so I am usually available on weekends or late evenings on weekdays . I am very accommodating and will work with your schedule. I maintain a clean and safe space for play . Exercise and keeping to a routine is highly important . Lots of quality time and cuddles are provided !
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. Growing up with five family dogs, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience providing love, exercise, and daily care. While attending university, my roommates and I rescued a senior stray cat and ensured he received the veterinary care and loving home he needed. My best friend and I also adopted a rescue dog with behavioural challenges, and through patience, consistency, and understanding, we helped him build trust and significantly improve his behaviour. I currently help care for our two family poodles and my boyfriend’s cat. With over 20 years of experience caring for animals of different ages, personalities, and needs, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own! I work full-time Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with every other Friday off. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting outside of my regular working hours, including evenings, weekends, and my scheduled Fridays off. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and am happy to coordinate care around your pet’s routine. For house sitting, I can provide overnight companionship and care while maintaining my regular work schedule. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs to make sure we’re a great fit! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! Having grown up caring for animals and currently sharing responsibility for two family poodles, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I provide care in your pet’s familiar home environment, following their usual feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual personality, comfort level, and needs, and always approach pets with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. I also respect your home and will treat both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away!
“Poppy had such a nice time playing frisbee, hide and go treat, and cuddling on the couch with Janaya. Janaya was responsible, communicative, clean and treated everything with care. Would definitely recommend her service to others.”
“This was Jeff's 3rd stay with Athena in our house but 2nd extended one. We are not easy to trust others but with Jeff we developed peace of mind and confidence after multiple proofs of Jeff's dedication to his commitment. Whatever comments and suggestions we left after previous house sitting were respectfully followed by Jeff this time to make it even better. We are very happy with the service provided by Jeff and care of Athena. Thanks to Jeff and his family, Athena was in great hands and we were able to enjoy our vacation fully. She developed a great bond with Jeff during the 1st stay and continue welcoming him in our house without any signs of fear or stress (we would tell because she's very shy and sensitive). Jeff followed our instructions, provided us with daily updates, answered our questions quickly and provided lots of pictures from walks and house. Each time upon returning, we found the house spotless and our dog happy to see us but still clinging to Jeff which speaks volumes. With Jeff we feel safe and hope to maintain him for our frequent vacations in 2025! Thank you Jeff and Raissa!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Janet. Firstly, we are new to Rover and she assured us right away and provided such excellent information on how the whole process worked. She came to our home to meet our dog Ollie on two occasions, which allowed him and us to get very comfortable around her. In those meetings she was so naturally loving and nurturing to Ollie, which allowed him to trust her almost immediately. She listened intently on Ollie’s eating schedule, his medication routine, and his route for walking (altered due to his recently knee surgery) and she implemented all our requests while house sitting. She sent frequent pictures and updates (twice daily) to give us peace of mind that Ollie was doing okay in our absence, as he is a very nervous and anxious dog. We could see from these pictures and updates that Ollie was coping well in his new circumstances for the week. She also took excellent care of our home, keeping it clean, taking out our garbage, and essentially leaving it as we left it. Because of Janet we were able to really enjoy our vacation and it gave us extreme peace of mind that our home, and more importantly, our dog was safe in our absence. We would definitely reach out to Janet again in the future if we needed a dog sitter/ house sitter!”
“Our dog Isla is a nervous rescue dog with severe seperation anxiety, we have never left her with anyone outside of our family. Nicole's responsiveness prior to meeting her, along with our quick debrief in person right before departing, made us feel confident and comfortable with leaving Isla in her care. It was clear she loves dogs and spent time engaging with and playing with Isla. We appreciated all of the updates and photos! We will definitely be booking with Nicole again :)”

I live in the apartment at keele/eglinton beside the keesdale new subway station,we have a beautiful and large park outside as we get out the door to go outside.
“Anne is a fabulous sitter! Communication from the very first meeting to our time away was top notch. We had daily updates as requested and her commentary about our boy clearly showed how invested she was in taking great care of him. She was very thoughtful with her care for our senior dog and also with our home. We won’t hesitate to request Anne again.”
“Linda took great care of our dog Georgie and our home. She communicated with us throughout her stay and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog and home in her hands. We would definitely recommend her and would book her services again!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and truly enjoy spending time with pets and getting to know their individual personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive, and loving care. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, keeping pets company, and maintaining their usual routines while their owners are away. I’m also very attentive to details and understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident that their furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and needs time to warm up, or simply loves a quiet cuddle on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and at home—and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️ Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m available for pet care after 5 PM on weekdays and throughout the day on weekends, which gives me plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship without rushing. I’m also available for overnight boarding almost every day of the week, and I’m happy to accommodate a pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and playtime while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m dependable, flexible, and happy to communicate with pet parents throughout the stay so you can feel reassured that your pet is doing well. 🐾❤️ When a pet stays in my home, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were at home with their own family. 🐾 I follow their normal feeding, walking, bathroom, medication, and sleep routines as closely as possible. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection based on their personality and energy level. I understand that some pets need a little time to settle into a new environment, so I’m patient and give them space to feel comfortable. I keep a close eye on them throughout their stay and make sure they are always supervised and have a clean, safe place to relax. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so pet parents can relax knowing their furry family member is happy and doing well. ❤️
About: Hello! My name is gurman and I am a veterinary technician student who aspires to serve the animals of her community for the rest of her life! I have been walking dogs in the neighborhood for my family and friends for over 8 years, and have finally decided to turn this into an official venture! I live on a farm with multiple dogs, cats, and horses, and I know how important physical and mental stimulation is for our fur babies! I would love to give your animals love and be able to make their and their owners lives a little easier! I am currently taking a semester off from school, so until december I am at your service! I am available all times of the day to come to you, and will work around your hours! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and communicating with you through regular updates and photos. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.
“We couldn't be happier with the amazing care our dogs Rusty + Tax received! From the moment Yanqi arrived, it was clear she genuinely loves what she does. She seamlessly followed our routine, making sure the pups felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout our time away. What impressed us most was her attentiveness and communication. She kept us updated throughout the day with adorable pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. It's obvious that both Rusty & Tax absolutely adored her... the connection they built was heartwarming to see! She was also incredibly respectful of our home, treating everything with care. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and experienced to look after your furry family member, we highly recommend her without hesitation. We'll definitely be booking her again for future sits! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our pup! 🐾”
“Alexandra was great with our chocolate lab puppy she loved her and was calm and relaxed the whole stay. She was always punctual and super patient with our high-energy pup. Would definitely recommend.”

Paige is an excellent cat sitter. She was very responsive and took great care of both our cat and home. We really appreciated all the photos and updates while we were away. I would 100% book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
We couldn't be happier with the care Angela provided for Thor. From our very first meet-and-greet, she made us feel comfortable and took the time to get to know both Thor and us. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Thor up, it was obvious he had been incredibly well cared for. His coat looked shinier, like he had been brushed regularly, and he came home relaxed and content. Normally he's extremely excited and clingy after we've been away, but this time he was calm and happy, which told us he had received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while we were gone. We also ran into an unexpected issue with Thor's food delivery, and Angela went above and beyond by helping us pick up his food from the pet store without hesitation. That level of kindness and flexibility meant a lot to us. If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves animals, communicates exceptionally well, and treats your dog like one of her own, we highly recommend Angela. We wouldn't hesitate to trust her with Thor again and will absolutely be booking with her in the future!
I can’t say enough amazing things about Janet. Firstly, we are new to Rover and she assured us right away and provided such excellent information on how the whole process worked.

We were thrilled with the care that Jodi gave our pets. We have an elderly border collie that needs special attention and we felt so comfortable with the care our dog received. She kept us informed about their day and even gave the dog and cat little nick names. It meant the world to us to know the pets were in good hands. Dont hesitate to have Jodi tend to your pet.
Marie was wonderful with my husky, Xylo! From the moment I picked him up, he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. She took him on a walk, followed all of my instructions carefully, and kept me updated throughout the evening. It's clear she genuinely cares. I felt completely at ease leaving Xylo with her and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Marie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🩷
Audrie was great! Was the first time using Rover after I started to become uncomfortable leaving my 18 year old cockapoo alone for any extended periods of time. His declining mobility means he can’t always get himself up to standing and needs some help occasionally when he wanders into a corner and can’t figure out how to turn around. Audrie was so sweet with him and I came home to a happy, well cared for and sound asleep puppy! Can’t thank Audrie enough for her kind, responsible and mature approach with caring for Jackson. Would recommend her to anyone.
Xinting did an amazing job for my 2 pets Fred & Ella. Arrived on time and took Fred on a walk. Sent me pictures and i can tell Ella ( who has anxiety problem) was very comfortable and even slept on Xining lap. Thank you so much for taking care for both of them. Will definitely book again and your pet will always be in good care with Xingting/
Nicole recently stayed at our house with our two dogs for a week and my dogs absolutely loved her. They were well taken care of and went on exciting new walks. Nicole was very friendly, caring and nurturing and we will look forward to booking her again.
Chantale stayed at our house with our two dogs while we were away for a week. She sent lots of pics - lots of play, snuggles and walks. Dogs seemed to be happy and well cared for when we returned! Would recommend! Thanks Chantale for taking great care of our pups and home while we were away!
Incredibly pleased! The love and care provided to my puppy could only be described as a blessing! From start to finish, the most wonderful and caring duo. Sang and Denielle were so thoughtful and even left a puppy report card & special treats for Kobe. I am so grateful for them and blessed to have them care for Kobe. Will definitely refer to friends and family! ❤️

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Milton 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 Milton 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 Milton 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
