“Zehra was amazing, checking in on my two cats while I was away on vacation! She sent thorough updates every day and sent me so many cute photos of my fur babies. She is extremely thorough and went above and beyond to make sure my cats were not only fed, but played with and brushed! Couldn’t recommend her more and will be booking again in the future.”

“Samantha recently cared for my cats while I was away for five days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. This was my first time traveling and leaving them behind, and I was a bit nervous at first—especially because my cats are very scared and skittish around new people. But Samantha was incredibly patient and gentle with them, and it made all the difference. She visited twice a day, provided detailed updates, and sent plenty of photos that reassured me they were safe and well cared for. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Elizabeth was an amazing sitter for Simon. I was really nervous leaving him for that time but seeing how comfortable she made him, keeping to his routine and all the pics, the nervousness didn't last long! We also got some snow while I was away and even though the plow left build up at the end of my driveway she still made sure to stick to his routine and even laid some salt down on the stairs. I can't speak highly enough of Elizabeth!”

“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.”

We would have Faye again in a heartbeat, and look forward to having her care for our cats again in the future. Five stars, easily earned.”

About: I grew up with cats, large dogs, fish, frogs and a bunny, which has set me up to be a lifelong animal lover. As your pet sitter I will strive to make their comfort and happiness my priority. I've watched cats. I've watched small, medium, and large dogs, young and old. Excellent listeners with routines, but also free spirits. I'm happy to take you, or your pet's, lead when it comes to their care so we can all be sure it's best for them. I’m looking to grow my pet sitting portfolio, so I currently have full time availability. Just send me a message and I’m available to come check on your pet anytime. Having watched dogs in the past I'm very happy following your routine. Such as feeding times, if they're crate trained, when treats are given. It's these types of routines that help to build trust which grows into mutual respect. Which, in my opinion, is equally important to the attention and fun side of pet care. :)

“We are very thankful to Kiana for taking such good care of our 3 kitties while we were away. We had her stop in twice a day for 1 hour drop in visits to do their breakfast and dinner. She gave great updates after each visit along with some pictures which we loved seeing. Our oldest cat has diabetes and requires insulin injections twice a day, he also happens to be a bit of a grump sometimes. Kiana was great with him and didn’t miss a single dose which put our minds at ease while away. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their kitties while away.”

About: Growing up with cats, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals from a young age. Over the years, I've provided care for a variety of pets, especially cats and dogs, giving me a wealth of experience in handling different breeds and temperaments. In addition to taking care of my own pets, I’ve frequently pet-sat for family and friends, ensuring their dogs received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while they were away. Whether it's playtime, walks, or simply cuddling up, I’m dedicated to making pets feel safe and loved in my care. Available for pet care during evenings and weekends! I work 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays but am flexible for morning or midday check-ins. When pet sitting in a client's home, my approach is centered on providing a comfortable and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners. Here’s how I manage it: 1) Familiarization with the Home: Before starting, I visit the client's home to understand the layout, locate essential supplies (like food, medications, and toys), and learn about any specific care routines or preferences. 2) Routine Maintenance: I stick to the pets' established routines, including feeding times, exercise schedules, and any specific care instructions. Consistency helps keep pets comfortable and reduces their stress. 3) Regular Updates: I provide frequent updates to the owner, including photos and notes about the pet’s well-being, to keep them informed and reassured.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, including my own two pups with very different needs. I have hands-on experience supporting dogs through medical conditions, including helping my first dog through cancer treatment and post-surgery care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions from vets. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, providing the patience, support, and comfort they need. On the other end of the spectrum, my current dog is high-energy and requires a lot of mental and physical stimulation, so I’m well-versed in creating enriching activities and structured routines. Additionally, I have experience with reactive and fear-reactive dogs, including reactivity toward fast-moving objects, children, and other dogs. I understand how to approach these situations calmly and safely to keep everyone comfortable. I’m also familiar with certain e-collars and am open to discussing their use with pet parents if needed. My top priority is always to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gives me flexibility for drop-in visits and walks. On those days, I’m available early mornings (before 8 a.m.), during my lunch break (12–2 p.m.), and after 4 p.m. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I offer evening walks. Weekends vary depending on my schedule, but I keep my calendar up to date so you’ll always know when I’m available. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop-in visits, I follow your routine closely—whether that’s feeding, playing, giving medication, or providing potty breaks—so your pet feels secure and cared for in their own space. For walks, I always use secure leashes or harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and energy. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs and know how to create calm, positive walking experiences. I treat your home and your pet with respect, as if they were my own.

“Julia has a friendly and calming personality, and a very clean and welcoming home. She even had spa-like music on when Pompom and I arrived to help my kitty relax. We texted back and forth during the day to keep in touch. When I arrived she had everything all ready to go. I would not hesitate to take Pompom there again if needed :)”

About: I rescued my first cat when I was 10 years old, and I’ve taken care of cats ever since. I currently have 3 kitties that are 13, 8, and 3 years old. My sister also has a 6 year old Australian Shepherd who I have helped care for since he was a puppy. We have been on many hike adventures, had too many slumber parties to count, and I’ve even picked him up and cared for him post surgery. I am an animal lover, kind person, and can follow instruction. I genuinely care about animals and have deep respect for the bond one has with their beloved pet. I’m currently working part time, usually in the mornings. I can check in on your animals any day , but can only accept a pet visit that fits around my work schedule. I will try my best to match with the schedule you are looking for. I will follow all instruction I am given to care for your pet in your home and will lead with respect, attention to detail, and the upmost care.

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

Faye is absolutely amazing! From the moment she arrived, her genuine enthusiasm for meeting our cats put us completely at ease. She took such incredible care of our fur babies during every single 30-minute check-in, keeping us updated with detailed videos and photos—including the sweetest moments of our cats coming right up to sniff her hands. On top of that, she was wonderfully diligent about keeping their space spotless and making sure their dishes were always freshly washed. Leaving our pets was completely stress-free thanks to her. We were beyond pleased with the incredible service and will absolutely be using your services again!

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.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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 .

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.
