“Kumudini took care of our pup like he was hers. She sent pictures and videos regularly and you could see how happy he was to be with her. She listened to all our instructions for care and went above and beyond to look after him. I will definitely rebook and absolutely trust her with our fur baby.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better family to look after Diesel than Monique and her wonderful family. From the moment we left him, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and loving hands. Monique went above and beyond to make sure Diesel was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It was clear he wasn’t just being “looked after” — he was treated like part of their family. We especially appreciated the updates and the genuine affection they showed him. When we picked him up, it was obvious he had been loved and cared for so well. A special thank you to her son as well, who formed such a sweet bond with Diesel. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Monique and her family to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet care. Thank you again for everything ❤️”
“I can’t recommend Jeff enough! He was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. Luke was happy, well cared for, and relaxed when I returned. Jeff kept me updated and followed all instructions perfectly. Will 100% book again.”
“Mahan took such great care of our girl, Twix, this weekend. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Twix was in such good hands. You can tell Mahan genuinely cares — we came home to a happy, well-looked-after doggy. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely book again!”
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I’m attentive to their individual routines, personality, and needs, and I make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels, including walks, feeding, medication routines, and maintaining their usual schedule. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. My work schedule is Sunday through Wednesday, which means I’m off Thursday through Saturday. This gives me three consecutive days off each week, allowing me plenty of flexibility and time to provide dedicated care, walks, playtime, and attention to your pets. I’m also happy to discuss scheduling in advance to make sure it works well for both of us. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home environment where pets can feel relaxed and comfortable. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and supervision. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big responsibility, so I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while they’re in my care.
“Everything was smooth and went well. Angela was friendly and accommodating. She provided daily updates. She took care of my 2 dogs while I was away and both dogs came home happy. I really appreciate all the pictures she sent throughout the entire time my dogs were with her. I would love to re-hire her for my next vacation, if she's willing and available when the time comes.”
“We could not have asked for a better experience with Susan and Gordon. They were patient and communicative and took amazing care of my pup. We are so appreciative!”
“I was very happy with the care Norma & Bill gave to Benji. He stayed with them for two weeks when I was away. They were amazing and cared for him as their own. They kept me informed and sent photos regularly. They will definitely be my go to sitters in the future. Thank you Norma & Bill for the love & care you gave him. I'm sure he misses you both.”
“Jessica is fantastic! She and her family took great care of my one-year-old dog, who had never been boarded or stayed with other people before. I received daily updates, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear that he was well cared for. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Super amazing sitter for our fur baby. Allyson kept me in the loop during the 6 days she cared for our dog. Honestly, my dog was super happy and so am I. My dog fell in love with Allyson’s daughter, which is a bonus. She absolutely loved her and was by her side all the time. It shows how loving and caring she was towards my dog. I have rebooked her again!”
““Cecily took excellent care of our dog for four days while we were in Montreal. She walked him regularly, let him roam around the house like his own, used the leash properly, and shared photos with us. I’d100% recommend Cecily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter.””
“Amrit was great with our dog! She sent us lots of photos and updates while he was boarded at her home. Fast response times and easy to coordinate with. A fenced backyard and a large park literally next door to her is a huge plus! Highly recommend! Thank you!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I’ve had dogs of my own, cared for family and friends’ dogs, and have even fostered dogs, cats, and… even ducks! Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal is different. Some need lots of exercise and playtime, some want constant cuddles, and others just need a little time to feel comfortable and settle in. I really enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. We believe in quality over quantity, which is why we only take care of one household at a time. This allows us to give your pet our full attention instead of having a house full of different animals. We are happy to accept multiple pets from the same household, so they can stay together! We also don’t currently have a dog of our own, which means there’s even more time, attention, and love to give to your dog while they’re staying with us. There is always someone home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will always have someone around to let them outside. We have a large yard that dogs can enjoy and explore, and they absolutely love having the space to sniff around, play, and get some fresh air. For dogs who enjoy getting out and about, we also offer several walks a day. Of course, we know every dog is different, so walks are based on their age, energy level, routine, and whether they actually enjoy going for walks. If your dog would rather relax, explore the yard, play, or have some extra cuddle time, that’s perfectly fine too. Our goal is for your pet to feel like they’re having a little vacation of their own, with plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. We want this to feel like their home away from home! Pet care fits easily into our daily routine. I work part-time, and on those days my husband or mother-in-law is always home, so your dog is never without company for long. We typically go for walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and have a large yard for dogs to explore and enjoy. We’re also very flexible and happy to customize your dog’s routine based on their usual schedule, energy level, and what makes them most comfortable. Pets in our home are treated like family. We want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while they’re with us. We have a fully fenced yard where they can explore and be outdoors, and because we don’t currently have a dog of our own, your pup will get plenty of one on one time, and all the love they deserve!
“Nori always has a great time with Kelly and her family! She is great about responding quickly when I message to check up, and I feel confident and comfortable with her care so I can fully enjoy my trips! Nori looks forward to seeing you soon again!”
“Yogita and Dibakar took great care of carter while we were away on vacation. Appreciate the pics and updates. We had no concerns at all. Will be using them again when we go on our next vacation. Thanks again!”
“This was our first time booking with Mira and Charles. From the first communication, they were very prompt and really lovely to work with. It was reassuring knowing their experience and having them be as frequent as we needed with daily updates. Bernard seemed like he had a great time and was well taken care of. Would hire them to sit him again in the future.”
“Liz is a fantastic sitter that kept us up to date on our Mochi's first time away from home! Mochi had such a wonderful and stress-free experience that she came home calm and relaxed. We will definitely use Liz's services for our next vacation. Thank you Liz!!”
“Laura was an amazing pet sitter. I couldn’t be more happier with her service and care for my girl Ruby. She went above and beyond to ensure Ruby’s stay with her was as fun and comfortable as possible and would highly recommend her as a sitter to anyone. I would also be contacting her again without a doubt in the future if I need a sitter for Ruby again”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pickering
We are very happy with the loving care provided by Alexa and Andrew to our fur baby Rex. Our pet dog was very well taken care of while we were away for a weekend attending a funeral. Both Alexa and Andrew were amazing with rex and we will gladly use them again and recommend them to anyone. They gave us daily updates with pictures. We really appreciate their service. Thank you Alexa and Andew!
Andrew and Alexa went beyond and above taking care of Charlie. Our baby is very challenging due to past experiences and high energy level that Charlie needs effective and efficient strategies to make his day fun and not boring. Alexa and Andrew did incredible care for our baby that when he gets home after our 6-days vacation, Charlie became calm and compliant with directions during walks and when playing indoors. In my own perspective, their passion and discipline strategies with dogs will make them qualified dog trainers. If there is an award for best dog caretakers, I will vote for them. Now, we can book our vacation without worrying who will take care of Charlie. Thank you Alexa and Andrew for the excellent service.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile.

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.
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.
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.

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.
You and your Pickering sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
