“Sofia did a very good job looking after my two cats. She was very responsible, trustworthy and competent. My cats are older, which means that they need a little extra care with medications. I would not hesitate to book her services again in the future.”
“Yujie is an amazing cat sitter! I was nervous about leaving my cat home alone for a week, but knowing Yujie would visit every day and give her plenty of attention completely put my mind at ease. She’s trustworthy, punctual, and highly responsive. Yujie provided regular updates and photos, which reassured me that my cat was happy and well cared for. She even did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and my cat instantly felt comfortable with her. Highly recommend!!”
“Fantastic sitter. My cat is not the friendliest toward new people but Melanie was able to come in and earn his trust and even brought him treats. Will book again in future. :)”
“Deborah was absolutely amazing with Ernie(our St.Bernard/Poodle). She came and met him and was gentle and soft spoken and only took a few minutes to see the connections. She communicated extremely well, and sent pictures and video updates while caring for Ernie, which was amazing. Ernie seemed to be very happy and we would definitely be calling on Deborah in the future.”
“We are so lucky to have John as our dog walker! He’s incredibly reliable and always professional. Our dog absolutely loves him, and we feel completely at ease knowing our furry friend is in great hands. He’s not just a dog walker, but a genuinely classy and caring person. We couldn’t ask for better care for our dog and highly recommend John to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and awesome. Thank you for everything, John!”
“Cheryll is so kind and loving. She sends us photos at each visit. We feel so comfortable leaving Monkey in Cheryll's care. I would definitely recommend Cheryll to anyone looking for pet care”
About: I currently own a 3 year old Mini Poo but grew up with Dobermans, cats, birds, a rabbit and had a fish. I potty trained my current dog as we got her as a puppy and I do light grooming on her. I love dogs of all sizes but I definitely have a soft spot for large dogs since i grew up with my Dobs. I love going for dog walks and interacting with the dog however they like to play. Cuddles welcome. I'm currently working part time from home and would love to spend my days caring for animals. I enjoy going for walks and being outdoors. I drive, have a valid G licence, CPR with AED and a valid vulnerable sector screening check. I can drive to your home to care for your pet in their own environment where they feel most comfortable.
“Liu is very kind and easy to talk to. My two cats are extremely shy, and I was honestly surprised by how quickly they felt comfortable around Liu. Because she is so gentle, my cats even came up to sniff her hand and greet her, which almost never happens with strangers. There were quite a few things to manage in my home, but Liu was very patient and remembered all the details. I’m really glad we found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Jessica stepped in last Minute for me and saved the day!!! I had a last minute issue with my dog sitting needs and she cared for Bolt and right away eased my stressful situation! Highly recommend Jessica! Many thanks 🐾🤗”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and I’m currently a dog momma to two wonderful and goofy pups. I’ve love going on long walks and snuggling on the couch or bed.

I take care to make sure that my space is safe, comfortable and pet friendly. Lots of open space and beautiful walking trails all around my home
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.

About: In Newmarket not Toronto. I work from home most of the time, so I’m around all day. If I’m not around, my partner and family will always be home to help out. I look forward to going out for long walks with your pup! Reason for being on rover: I’m waiting a couple of years before getting a dog because I need the flexibility to travel at the moment. Also living at my parents house while I’m househunting for the right one! Therefore I’m more than happy with to look after pets when I’m around! 😊 I like to walk/play catch, or just lounge if your pup needs some social time or cuddles. 🤗🐶🐾 My doggy boarding/walking life started in 2013 when I used to walk my old landlords long haired German Sheppard, then I started looking after my sister’s French bulldog, and the rest was history! I really miss having a dog around so I’ll hang out with yours! 😊 Feel free to ask me any questions! I am a runner so if you have a dog that needs more activity, I would be happy to run with them. I’m currently working from home I will be home all day! I’ll need to go for walks at least as much as your pup does! 😊🐶 I’m currently living at my parents house while I’m househunting for a new one! We are all at home so lots of people to enjoy hanging out with! Large house with a fenced in backyard.
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.

Yujie accommodated my last-minute request and took care of my cats so professionally. She not only made sure they were fed but also spent time playing with them! I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care while I was traveling. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Laura has been taking care of our cat over the past year. She is very patient, loving and attentive to our cat's needs and also provides timely updates and alerts for any concerns that may arise around the house. We trust her and our cat loves her too! We will definitely continue to book Laura to care for our cat! Thank you, Laura!
Deborah has looked after our cat Checkers multiple times now, and we always feel so comfortable leaving him in her care. She’s incredibly kind, reliable and genuinely cares about him. She keeps us updated while we’re away and gives him lots of love and attention. Checkers is always happy and well cared for when we get home. We’re so grateful to have found Deborah and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets! ❤️
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. 🐾❤️
Somayeh was amazing with Luc and Lucy! She was so caring, reliable, and attentive, and kept us updated while checking in on them. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We would definitely book with Somayeh again! Highly recommend! ❤️
We were VERY happy with the excellent service Stephanie provided and the peace of mind she gave us, during the 4 days we were away. She was patient and kind with our 3 cats and tried to learn each of their quirky personalities! She even managed to get our ghost cat, Casper, to come out from his hiding on the 3rd day; something no other cat sitter had been able to do before. Totally recommend Stephanie and would use her services again in the future.
My cats just love Isabel and Matthew. They usually aren’t very social with people but I got photos of them interacting with Isabel and Matthew every day. Drop ins were punctual and I always got photos and updates. They were willing to drag the trash to the curb- which was super helpful since I was gone for a while. When my neighbor had an emergency and needed something from my shed- they grabbed it for her. I knew my cats- and home- were in good hands. This is the second time they have done drop in visits with my cats - I would hire them again.
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.
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newmarket is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 6,556 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Newmarket. About 86% of Newmarket sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
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 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.
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. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
