“Liu was extremely timely and helped calm our dogs. Will sure book her again. She sent me pictures of chippy finally going to poo at 11:30 which was funny because I was concerned that he hadn’t popped before we left.”
“Christina was great! We didn’t have to worry at all about our pets or our house while we were away, she took great care of them! We will definitely book Christina again”
“Chester had a wonderful time with Song. He loves trying new foods such as blueberries and broccoli, and going for long walks. Thank you so much for taking good care of him!”
“Amy was really amenable for meet & greet. Very good with Toby upon meeting him and his eccentricities. I came home to find Toby comfortable and the house was in as good or better condition than I had left it before my trip. I would have great peace of mind leaving Toby in her care again!”
“Finding the right person to care for your dogs is never easy, especially when you have two energetic six-month-old puppies. Deborah exceeded every expectation. Her energy matched theirs perfectly, and it was clear from the start that she is not only a wonderful caregiver but also highly experienced with young dogs. What impressed us most was her commitment to maintaining the training and routines we had been working so hard to establish. That consistency was incredibly important to us, and it gave us complete confidence that our puppies were in excellent hands. Deborah was also exceptionally flexible and accommodating as our travel plans unexpectedly changed throughout the week. Her willingness to adjust her schedule without hesitation made an already stressful situation so much easier. We returned home to two happy, well-cared-for puppies, and we are genuinely grateful for the care, professionalism, and peace of mind Deborah provided. We would recommend her without hesitation and look forward to having her care for our dogs again.”
About: I went to college for Veterinary Assisting in 2019, and have had various experiences. I've worked in Vet clinics and hospitals and frequently pet sit for friends and family. I have a huge love of animals of every kind! From the furry, to the scaly, and even the feathered! I have experience working with animals from all stages of life, as well as furry friends with specialized diets. Put your faith in me and you won't be disappointed! I have full availability for your furry friends when I’m not at other pet sitting jobs! I am super flexible so feel free to send me a message to see if our schedules align :) This is dependent on the species, breed and what their specific needs are. For example, in college, I owned 2 rats who needed consistent enrichment activities, regular baths and grooming, as well as all the love and snuggles they wanted! They both lived 2 very long happy lives up until and even past their life expectancy. I now own a large and thriving aquarium which I love and adore.
About: Hi! I’m Chelsea. What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and needs. I’ve cared for smaller dogs with health concerns, walked medium-sized dogs, and provided care for larger breeds. I’m also comfortable giving medications both orally and topically when needed. I have experience with puppy care and use positive reinforcement techniques to help with basic training and good behaviors. Most importantly, I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I work part-time with short shifts a few days per week, so my schedule is very flexible with the right notice. Your pets won’t be left alone for long, I make sure they get the attention, care, and comfort they deserve while you’re away When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime, and enjoy walks or outside time if needed. I keep their space clean and cozy and offer lots of attention, whether your pet prefers cuddles or just quiet company. I treat your home and your pets with respect, giving them the same level of care I give my own.
About: I grew up with various pets and have always loved animals. I was trusted to walk and feed neighborhood dogs on numerous occasions. My family dog lived 13 years and our cat lived 20. I got my own dog as a puppy 5 years ago and did her training. I also got a kitten last year. I am currently working at home full time I have my own business and have a pretty flexible schedule for morning or afternoon pet care throughout the week I live in a quiet street with lots of green space and parks and trails close by. My dog is friendly and always loves a friend to play with. I also have a crate and baby gate if needed.
About: With a lifetime of experience and a passion for animals, I have developed extensive pet care expertise. Since the age of 18, I have been actively involved in pet sitting, catering to the needs of a wide range of dogs. Whether they are big, medium, small, or even rescued, I am well-versed in handling them all. Growing up with dogs as constant companions, I honed my skills in feeding, bathing, walking, and occasionally training these beloved pets. Trust is the cornerstone of my approach, and I take pride in being entrusted with the care of these furry family members. I am available all day Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday !! I am very much looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I Can't wait to cuddle and spoil your pets! I prioritize safety and trust to foster a supportive environment. With a large, fenced area, dogs have ample space to play securely. I build trust with both pets and owners, providing personalized care and creating a nurturing atmosphere where dogs feel loved and comfortable. I typically have pets stay with me or I stay at the owner's house!
“During our week-long vacation in the Bahamas, Sara took exceptional care of our dog, Bowie. We were initially anxious about leaving him with someone he didn’t know, but as soon as Sara walked in, Bowie immediately connected with her. Even our 1-year-old son felt comfortable around her. Sara exudes a kind and gentle energy that assured us Bowie was in good hands. Opting to stay at our home, she catered to Bowie's comfort, which is crucial given his tendency to get anxious in new places. Sara took him on long, enjoyable walks multiple times a day and showered him with attention. We're immensely grateful to Sara for her kindness and care towards Bowie. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for our furry family member.”
About: I'm an experienced Foster home, home visit and phone screener previously for a few home based rescues for dogs and cats. I've owned dogs and currently have 4 rescue cats. Adopt, don't shop is how I live. Experience and age (mine lol) matter. I love pets; I've opened my home numerous times to foster animals. I regard myself as an important link in the chain to allow pet owners to keep their pets instead of having to give them up due to having to work outside the home, or other reasons that we confront in rescue :) I collect pet food donations from PetValu partners in the city and give to citizens in need & sanctuaries. I want to make a difference. Creator of Ava's Foundation. I work a hybrid schedule, therefore many days of the week I am available for a drop in to your own place or possibly dog walking before work, during the work day, after work and in the evenings. I try to build up rapport with the dog or cat in question by talking to them as I enter the house, make them feel at ease with my voice in my presence, so that they love to see me and know that I mean fun and games and FOOD. I always make sure that the litter is cleaned or the dog is petted and loved and I’ve even taken care of rabbits who loved to see me because they knew that they would get fun and treats and their living area cleaned and tidied..
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs & cats. I have worked with the Toronto Zoo Nutrition department providing diets & nutrition to all the animals. I am an amateur pet nutritionist & can provide you with a calculated daily caloric intake for your pet based on the caloric value of your pet food & the weight of your pet. I myself take care of 4 cats, a hamster, and dozens of fish. I am pursuing a career in the Veterinary field & have volunteered with Veterinarians for hundreds of hours. I currently hold a Bachelors degree in Animal Biology from the University of Guelph & am in the process of completing my Masters in Biomedical Science. I am passionate about caring for animals & I can promise if you choose me to care for your pets I will treat them like family.
“I highly recommend Hayley to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet while they’re away. She is fantastic with my 16 month old pup Fawn, who can be both hyper and skittish at times. Fawn responds so well to Hayley’s calm but fun energy. I couldn’t be happier with her services.”
About: I absolutely love animals and have around 20 years of experience caring for dogs. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their family is away. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I enjoy walks, playtime, and simply spending quality time with my furry guests. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident that their beloved dog is in good hands. I have a fence with lots of park's near by to go to for a walk. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, love, patience, and care. ❤️ I would love to meet you and your furry friend!
“Selena was great! She kept us well informed throughout her stay with Margot, also being proactive in her communication when it seemed Margot wasn’t feeling 100%. Selena also left our house in amazing shape upon leaving!”
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. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine easily. Since I can travel as well, I’m happy to provide care in different locations or even stay overnight if needed. I adore pet care, and its something I will always look forward to and make time for during the week. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, their safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs or instructions. I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with no overwhelming noise or distractions. It is a cozy, clean space where your pet can feel relaxed and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect and ensure that pets follow their familiar routine to reduce stress. I also provide regular updates, photos, or check-ins so you always feel connected and reassured while you are away. Trust and communication are very important to me. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.
“Thank you so much for taking good care of Mickey 🙏🏽 from day 1 we noticed he really bonded with you and throughout your stay with him, you even taught him to lay down! Which is amazing and is a palpable feeling he really connected with you! Would really recommend you to all dog owners in my neighbourhood!”
“Tatiana watched our dog Sadie for a full day in our home. We appreciated all of the updates and photos she provided throughout the day and it was clear Sadie really liked her too!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was a toddler. Love the connection I create with them. Enjoy having dogs around and keeping active by playing or heading out for walks I am currently unemployed looking for work so I am available full time at the moment. I can be in the dogs house or I can have them with me in my apartment and spend the day together :) My place is very safe for dogs and I will not let the dog unattended so they’ll be in safe hands and feel secure while in a new environment

Ella house sat and watched our two big dogs for a week. The boys had loads of fun, great walks, and the house was really clean when we came home! We have a reactive anxious dog and she was able to accommodate his crazy :) - would def recommend and we will be using again.
I'm so grateful I found Amanda on Rover. I can tell by the pics she sent me how comfortable Cornie felt with her and I'm so grateful. It's always difficult to leave my baby and all the updates made it so much easier. I'll definitely be booking Amanda in the future.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Newmarket 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 Newmarket 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 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!
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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% 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.
