“Dylan was great, he was a last minute booking because our previous sitters bailed with no notice and I’m so glad we got him to take care of our cats while we were away getting married! He showed up when he said, sent tons of pictures, kept in communication, and went on a cat hunt when our one cat decided to hide in the couch. Thank you Dylan! Highly recommend!”
About: I am a hard working, dedicated, and caring individual who comes from a law enforcement family which has made me develop skills of being aware of my surroundings and ways of keeping both myself and others safe. When I am not studying full time at Algonquin college, I work part time at a pet valu which had provided me with fundamental knowledge and skills that will help me keep your pet safe, happy and healthy. I take pride in helping others. I have had a family dog for most of my childhood which had allowed me to get to know the right and wrongs of training a dog. I’m available Monday through Friday, both morning and evening. I’m committed to providing the best care for your pet, even with my other commitments, depending on your requested date and time. I have a fenced in backyard and one friendly golden retriever to keep your pet company while you are away. I have a large backyard, and a close by park and trail for exercise. I am a licensed and safe G class driver with my own vehicle so I am available to travel to pick up your dog from your house for a small extra fee depending on your location.

I also have my certification in First Aid for Dogs and Cats because I take caring for animals very seriously. In addition, I am currently studying in university for a program in Animal Physiology. I can fit the pet care in my routine very easily as I am a university student so whenever i’m not in class is when I am able to care for pets. I intend to give all my attention towards my client’s pet. I will make sure to properly understand the needs of each individual pet and that I meet those needs. Every pet is different, so not all of them require the same kind of care.

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of many different dogs over my lifetime, including within my family and branching out to friends families as well. I have been seen as a go to for pet check ins, sittings, and walks. Recently, I have decided to branch out and make more four-legged friends! I work from home 3/5 days per week in Kenmore/Metcalfe/Russell/Greely area, and would be happy to take my lunch breaks to go on walks with your fur babies, or to do some check-ins!

About: Hi! I’m Christina, and I am a proud owner of a Sheltie named Gus 🐕 and an orange tabby named Monster 🐈 Are you looking for a reliable, trustworthy, friendly dog sitter? I’m here for you! I have a flexible schedule and I also have a vehicle to easily commute to different places. I am an experienced dog walker and pet sitter of various sizes and breeds. My pets are both seniors so I have extensive experience with senior pets and administering medications. Please contact me for a free consultation to see if I’d be a good fit for you and your family ❤️ Currently, my schedule is quite flexible. I am currently working part-time as a counsellor, working as a dog walker several days a week and doing a Master’s program online asynchronously. I am able to adapt my schedule for your needs with sufficient notice :) At this time, I am unable to house sit other pets at my house. However, I am able to go to your home and look after your pets! Some things I do to ensure safety include following client instructions carefully, avoiding other dogs while walking, not using my phone or music while walking a dog to ensure my focus is on the dog and our surroundings, and ensuring dogs are kept on leash or in a fenced backyard to prevent them from running loose.
“I asked Vannesa to take care of my cat a few times now. I felt good about leaving my cat in Vannesa's care each time. I also booked a few times last minute and I appreciated a lot the willingness to accommodate that. Great communication. As far I can tell, my cat received a lot of love each time (along with all the food, water, hygiene care <3 ). I'm likely to book again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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 North Gower 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
