“Lyle and his family were fantastic with Biggie. Patient, kind and sending us frequent photos and updates while in their care. We really appreciate you as this is the first time we’ve left him alone this long. He is happy and healthy! I would absolutely recommend Lyle.”
“Lushi is an absolute godsend! Leaving our fur baby for a few weeks for the first time was so hard for us, but Lushi completely restored our faith in pet sitters and gave us total peace of mind the entire time. She is caring, incredibly knowledgeable, and treats every animal with a mother's love. She’s truly a dog mama! Every single day, she sent us detailed updates filled with so many wonderful photos and videos, keeping us completely reassured while we were away. She even went above and beyond by picking up medication refill too. Lushi did everything she possibly could to make us comfortable and keep our doggy happy, and it's clear she is truly in her element when caring for animals, so positive and light. I honestly don't have enough words for how amazing she is, if you are ever nervous or worried about leaving your fur baby, we would recommend her to anyone a million times over! Thank you Lushi and family ❤️”
“Cecily was wonderful with our old guy! Great communication, very kind and accommodating. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her, and would definitely book with her again!”
“Li was an amazing dog sitter for our Teddy! She always responded very quickly to messages and communicated very clearly. She took care of our dog so well bringing him out on multiple walks and activities daily and updated frequently with pictures. Her house is very clean and dog friendly. I could tell she cared for him like he was her own dog. Definitely recommend using her! We will be using her again if we go on another trip.”
About: Hey there! My name is Liz and I love animals! Dogs, cats, lizards, birds, snakes, rodents you name it! I have a very calm disposition and I am always down for a snuggle or a heavy duty play session! I will walk/play/talk to your pets for as long as you like to help their days go by faster until you get home :) On weekdays, any time after 5pm I am available! I work part-time during the day from 9-12:30, so I can do drop in visits/dog walking between 12:30-2:30pm, and after 5pm! On weekends I have full time availability! I have a nice two story space that I am happy to house any animal in. It’s extremely cat and dog friendly, and while I don’t have a yard, I live a 15 second walk from the Duffins Creek Trail in Ajax, where I am happy to walk your dog for as long as you desire!
“Yue did a wonderful job with our puppy. It was our first time leaving her and she did so much to re -assure us our puppy was in good hands. She sent us updates and pictures and was so loving and kind. Thanks so much Yue. We will definitely be booking with Yue on our next trip away.”
“Daniel is fantastic! I have no worries when I leave Darwin with him and his dog Bruno. They are amazing hosts and take great care of our guy. My family love the pictures and video updates we get from Daniel. It puts our minds at ease to know that Darwin is having as much or more fun while we are away.”
“Chris was fantastic with our dog Charlie. Very responsive to any questions and provided lots of photos. Chris provided a beautiful, comfortable home for our fur baby to stay while we were away. Would definitely book again! Thank you!!”
“We have not left Indiana with anyone for about 6 years so we were very wary on leaving her for a week. However Linda and her family took such good care of her. They were responsive and gave us daily updates. We look forward to having them take care of Indy again.”
“Melissa and Nigel were fantastic. They cared for our pup very well - lots of play, walks and quality time together. And plenty of picture updates throughout the day. They genuinely care and treat your dog like their own. Highly recommend!”
“We had such a great experience with Nehal! Cooper stayed with her for 2 days, and she took such amazing care of him. She made sure he felt comfortable and at home, and it was so nice to see him having a great time with her dog, Albus. They became good little friends! Nehal even took Cooper on a hike and sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Cooper was happy, active, and very well cared for. We really appreciate all the love and attention she gave him and would definitely recommend Nehal to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“We had an amazing experience with Sharath and Shruthi! They took such great care of our dog, Eli, while we were away. We received frequent updates and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Eli was in good hands and being treated like part of their family. Their dog, Skye, is an absolute sweetheart—gentle, friendly, and the perfect companion for Eli during his stay. The two got along so well, and it was heartwarming to see them play and relax together. We’re so grateful for the love and attention Sharath and Shruthi gave Eli, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful and treated my dog like a princess. I would tell others that you can't find better than Amanda anywhere she goes far beyond what you are expecting. I believe my dog had a better vacation than I had. She was one lucky dog and was truly "Pampered" Jeannie P.”

Pet 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.

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.
