“I found Holly on Rover after being abandoned by a previous sitter who I had used several times. I was not disappointed to have found Holly. She was reliable, attentive and my cats loved her. From day one I received pictures and updates that reassured me that Sammy and Munchkin were in good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Holly again and hope she feels the same way.”

“Kiana took our four year old Tabby into her home while we were away on holiday and, after that experience, we’ll be requesting Kiana over and over again. Pickles, our cat, had other cats to play with and was so well taken care of. She sent pictures and updates to make sure we knew that he was doing fine. We can’t thank you enough, Kiana!”

“Michelle looked after our little princess for 5 days. We (including Coco) were really happy. Michelle sent us regular videos and updates. We did not have to worry and could focus on and enjoy our trip. Michelle was also very accommodating and understanding when our plans changed at the last minute - this was very much appreciated. We would definitely recommend and use her services again. Thank you Michelle.”
About: I spent 12 years caring for my family cat and learned how to keep pets safe, calm, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to excellent care. I work full‑time, but I’m available for pet care from Thursday to Saturday and can accept same‑day bookings. On Wednesdays, I’m available after 6 PM. If voluntary time off is available at 3 PM, I can leave work then and arrive shortly after if a client needs care on Wednesday. My dad is allergic, so dogs can’t enter my home.

I had a wonderful experience with Samantha taking care of my cats while I was on vacation in Italy. She is very kind and reliable. I looked forward to seeing the pictures she sent every day while I was away along with updates and comments about how the cats were doing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
It’s always a bit scary to leave our pets with someone new….. but! Zehra quickly became a friend for our two cats, Thelma and Louise. I’m not sure who loved her more - them or me 💕. Zehra took great care of our pets and sent lots of pics and updates to make us feel comfortable. Thank you Zehra. We hope to see you again.
Nicki did another great job taking care of our cat through twice-daily drop in visits while we were away. We appreciate the detailed updated and photos, Nicki's quick responses, attention to detail (including following instructions around meals and medications), and making our kitty feel comfortable and cared for. Best cat sitter! Thank you!
Elizabeth was amazing. Lexi took to her immediately. It was so nice to have the reports and photos from each visit. It gave us peace of mind and we are able to enjoy our holiday with no worry. Elizabeth spent time with Lexi and was very caring. I actually think Lexi misses all the attention Elizabeth gave her. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone. She is amazing with animals. Her love for animals is so genuine that it actually radiates. We loved her
Julia was amazing with my two babies, autumn and winter. Autumn, who’s usually very shy around strangers, came out of her shell with Julia and was fairly comfortable with her. This was a big win for us. I was nervous leaving my house and kids with a stranger but Julia was not only professional but also kept an eye out for anything amiss with the house. Autumn and Winter were happy and active with her. I would totally recommend Julia to anyone looking for personalised care for their fur babies.
Ezgi was perfect sitter for our cat. She took care of everything and we did not have to worry about a thing when we were away. Our cat loved her and is so energetic after we saw her after about a week, which shows that she had a good time with Ezgi. We for sure will ask her to take care of cat when we are away.

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 Oshawa 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.

- 78% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 87% 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.
