About: My experience & genuine passion for animals makes me a reliable candidate for caring for your pets. With over 4 years of experience working with animals in a variety of animal care settings, I understand the importance of providing safe, attentive & compassionate care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work full time at a veterinary clinic, however, I have 2-3 days off each week that I dedicate to pet care services. My experience in a veterinary setting has strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, health, and well-being, allowing me to provide attentive and reliable care for pets of all ages and needs. At home, I have a fenced yard where your pet can safely play & explore. I also have a 4 year old cockapoo who can provide companionship your fur baby during their stay. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in client’s homes, I provide attention & companionship to help reduce any stress while you are away.
“There are no words to describe how much I appreciate the kindness, love, care and support Ashley has provided to my kitty, Ginger, during the last 2 weeks. She has been an absolute blessing and has gone above and beyond to take the best care of our little Ginger while we were away. From the start she greeted us with the greatest respect, attention and enthusiasm. She took the time to get to know us and our kitty and kept us fully informed with detailed updates and pictures daily. There was never a moment where I felt I didn’t know how Ginger was doing. I was fully confident in Ashley and the care she was giving. It wasn’t long before Ginger was cuddling and nestling up to Ashley and the two were like 2 peas in a pod! It made me so happy to see how close the two had become. Thank you Ashley for being so on top of things, for keeping her space so tidy and mostly for caring for my Ginger so well. We are so lucky to have you as our sitter. I would highly recommend you! Although I’d like to keep you all for myself lol!”

About: With over 26 years of experience as a pet parent to 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bunny and 2 guinea pigs, I now share my life with my greyhound, Bree. I'm certified in Pet First Aid and hold a Professional Pet Care Certificate, and I've volunteered with the Ontario SPCA since May 2015. I'm also pursuing certification as an ABC Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT) and Pet Massage Practitioner, and Bree & I are both proud members of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program.

About: I grew up on a farm and have plenty of experience with a variety of animals. These days, I specialize in personalized pet care beyond just the basics. I love taking dogs on long, enriching walks. I also enjoy (and have plenty of experience with) high-maintenance cats. From administering oral medication to understating their quirks, I know animals often require a lot of respect and patience. I’m more than happy to discuss any other details with you to give your family members the care they deserve :) I’m currently not working for the summer and thus I have a lot of free time to care for your pets. During the winter months, I am a student at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College I live in a small pet friendly apartment building and only accept smaller animals that have been potty trained at home. When doing drop ins, or at home stays, I have an open communication process that allows the owners to be in contact with me. I set clear expectations before the visits. During the visits I offer daily updates involving photos/videos.

“I was very nervous about leaving my 3 cats for 2 weeks since I have never been away from them for more than 5 days. But Vanessa made sure to assure me that they are in good hands. She came prepared to note down all the tasks and duties required daily and learn more about each cat. Her daily updates with pictures and videos gave me even more relief and confidence that they were being taken care of well. Overall Vanessa was a great cat sitter to have and I would definitely reach out to her again next time.”

About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve owned 9 cats and 2 dogs, including rescue animals, a blind cat, and pets with medical conditions requiring special diets, medications, injections, and frequent veterinary care. I understand that every pet has unique needs and strive to provide safe, compassionate, and reliable care. I work full-time in clinical research during weekdays, which allows me to provide reliable pet care after work, as well as on weekends. Pet care has always been a part of my daily life, and I’m used to maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications, and providing consistent attention and companionship. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they need. I believe every pet is happiest when their usual routine is respected. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for rescue animals, special-needs pets, and pets with medical conditions, I’m attentive to changes in behavior and wellbeing. I provide regular photo and text updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away.
About: I am a trusted and reliable pet sitter with experience caring for both cats and dogs, including training puppies and helping them learn good habits and routines. I have cared for family and friends’ pets by feeding, walking, playing with, and giving them lots of attention to keep them active, happy, and comfortable. I am very loving toward animals and always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and treated like family while their owners are away. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available every day, including weekends. Because of this, I have lots of time to dedicate to your pet and can provide them with plenty of attention, care, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my home, which includes a relatively large fenced-in backyard for dogs to play and stay active. I also have two small, very friendly dogs who love being around other animals and can help keep your fur baby company. If needed, I am also able to crate dogs and follow any routines or instructions provided by the owner. For cats, I previously had a cat living with my dogs, so they are comfortable being around cats as well. However, if preferred, I am more than happy to pet sit in your home instead. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I am always very respectful of their space and willing to learn all dietary needs, routines, boundaries, and any specific areas pets need to stay in or be kept out of to ensure they are safe and comfortable.
About: Hi there! I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals, and caring for them brings me real joy. Whether it's walking, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats of various temperaments and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and quick to pick up on the unique personalities and preferences of each animal. I believe pets deserve not just basic care, but affection, routine, and someone who truly gets them. If you’re looking for someone who will give your furry friend the same love and care you would, I’d be thrilled to help. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day.

“Caitlin was an excellent cat sitter to Ozzy and Luna. She took great care of them with daily pictures and check ins to let me know what was going on. The cats both enjoyed her care and were in great spirits when I got home. I would definitely hire her again to take care of my kitties!”

Cheryll N was wonderful! She walked and checked in on my dog twice, once in the evening and again in the morning, and I felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She sent me pictures after each visit along with detailed updates about how he was doing, which I really appreciated. Cheryll N was reliable, caring, and kept me well informed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet. 🐾❤️

Sofia always makes my trips stress-free because I know my boys are in the best hands. She genuinely cares for them, treats them like her own, and always makes sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re with someone who loves and cares for them as much as I do. My dogs are always excited to see her, and I couldn’t recommend Sofia more highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

We can't express enough for Anthony took care of Rockie when we were on vacation. It was the first time Rockie was away from us. He is 8 yrs old St Bernard. We were really worried at the beginning. Anthony dropped in on time every day. He fed and walked Rockie and sent us pictures and videos every day. Rockie likes him and we feel he did not miss us at all LOL. We had a great vacation all because of Anthony's help. Really appreciated! If anyone needs drop in visit or even just walking for their pets, we do strongly recommend Anthony.
Ariel is wonderful! Our shepherd pup Gus can be a bit aloof and unsure of new people but he has warmed to Ariel quickly and has a blast when she stops in for his pee & plays whilst we are at work! She’s great at following specific schedule needs and is considerate of our home too 💕 Would highly recommend

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Newmarket 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.

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 .
