About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog sitter with 8 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and anxious dogs. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and needs to help them feel relaxed and at home. My goal is simple, to treat every dog like family and ensure they return home happy, comfortable, and well cared for. 🐾 I’m currently a college student studying biotechnology I’m free everyday of the week except Friday’s from 8:30-2:30pm. I’m very flexible with people’s needs so don’t hesitate to reach out! I provide a safe, loving environment where your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care. While you’re away. What you can expect: - Hourly photos - Lots of attention and play time - Reliable loving care - A calm and peaceful environment - Peace of mind while your away
“This was the first time that I booked Jessica to care for my dog while on vacation. We met beforehand to discuss my dog’s wants and needs. I received daily updates and pictures. It was a very positive experience. I would highly recommend Jessica to care for your pet.”
About: ***PRICE TRANSPARENCY: It's come to my attention that Rover service fees are inflating prices for what you can see on my profile. I am not happy about this. I am currently making $19.20 per 30 min drop-in/walk, but the posted price by Rover is much higher <---It was never my intention to charge this much, and I encourage clients to send Rover Support feedback about their fees, pricing and how their hijacking sitters' profiles by doing this. If you are unable to afford the current price, please message me anyway, and I can try to work within your budget. 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..
“Bozhena took care of my 9 year old Collie, at my home, for a week, and I came back to a dog who was happy, healthy, and very relaxed! Usually he sleeps for days after a trip, but he had his fully energy and was ready to play - clearly he hadn't been stressed in the least. Bozhena also took great care to administer some medicine my dog had been recently prescribed, and kept me up to date about his symptoms. My house was also neat as a pin when I returned home. I will be using Bozhena again for future dog-sitting, and highly recommend her!”
“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!”
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.
“Anna was a wonderful sitter for my two pups. They had an amazing time and were well cared for and tired out by the time we got back. She kept us updated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures of their happy faces. I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“We are extremely satisfied with Maria’s care of Rok while we went on a 18 day vacation. We received regular updates and we were so happy to see pictures and videos of our dog because we missed him so much! He was in great hands- everything went so smoothly!!! We will definitely ask Maria to watch Rok again!!!”
“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.”
“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've been pawsitively spoiling all kinds of pups for over 20 years, 3 years on Rover! Whether it’s neighbors, family, or friends, whenever they needed a paw-some pet sitter to walk, feed, or fuss over their furry companions, I’ve been there. We can't wait to meet your doggo and give them the same tail-wagging treatment while you’re away! I am currently working from home. I am available for walks, boarding, visits throughout the day. I enjoy going on three walks a day to ensure everybody is using up their energy and getting fresh air. My kids and I like playing soccer in the backyard with our dog and your pet is more than welcome. I’ve got a backyard that’s a 'pawsome' playground, fully fenced and ready for adventure! My home is like a dog’s dream come true, backing up to a vast trail system that we stroll through daily—it's like a doggy amusement park out there! Your pup would fit right in with our family, where belly rubs and tail wags are the main entertainment. I’m all ears (and paws!) for any routine you’ve got in mind to help your furry friend feel as comfy as possible. Let's make their stay a howlin’ good time!
“Solana took care of my 15 year old cat for 2 weeks while staying in our home. Milo requires medication and close monitoring. Solana did an amazing job of making sure he is well taken care of. She played with him often and was sending me regular updates with photos and videos. I am so happy to have found her and would definitely use her services again!!!”
About: I have recently graduated from Simon Fraser University in BC and was a swimmer on the varsity NCAA team. I graduated with a major in Psychology, and a minor in Educational Psychology. I aspire to one day work with animals, as I have had a strong love for them ever since I had my first dog when I was 4 years old. I am highly motivated and dedicated to my work. My home is a perfect environment to have dogs in, as it is a spacious house in town, with a very large fenced-in backyard. I would be willing to work whenever is most convenient for my clients. I've always had a natural connection with dogs, and I've had many years of experience taking care of them. I welcome all types of dogs and will always provide my unconditional love and care for them. I am currently working as a full time swim coach for the Newmarket Stingrays. The flexibility in my early morning and evening practices allow me to have lots of time to look after your pup! I also live with my boyfriend, both my parents, and my brother, so someone will always be home to care for the dogs when I am out (they are never left alone)! I have a fully fenced-in, large backyard in town. I have a dog named Rosco, who is now 7, and is a Cavapoo. He gets along with most dogs but prefers ones who aren't overly hyper. He's more of a people dog:)

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.
Jessica seemed to a wonderful job looking after Emma. This was our first experience with a private dog sitter. Emma told me she did a good job walking her in a timely fashion. The only thing that Emma(the dog),was that she did not think that she got enough food. 😁. Over all we were very pleased with the whole experience. 👍
Anna was a wonderful sitter for my two pups. They had an amazing time and were well cared for and tired out by the time we got back. She kept us updated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures of their happy faces. I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newmarket on Rover is $64.64 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
Tip: 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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
