“Isabelle est remarquable! Je me suis retrouvée dans une impasse de dernière minute et elle est allée voir mes chiens pour s'assurer que tout était beau avec eux. Je la recommande fortement et apprécie beaucoup son service! C'est certain que je retournerai vers ses services dès que l'occasion se présentera ❤️”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and experience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have trained three of my own dogs, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and training needs. I’ve also cared for senior and disabled dogs, as well as dogs who experience anxiety and stress. My own puppy has severe anxiety, so I understand how important it is to give nervous pets extra patience, reassurance, and a calm environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I love making sure pets get plenty of attention and enrichment, whether that means going for walks, playing, grooming, practicing training, or simply spending time together. I treat every animal as an individual and want them to feel happy, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ I work part-time, usually 5-hour shifts, and I’m completing university online, so I’m home for most of the day. This means pets will only be alone for a limited amount of time and will get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love throughout the day. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I care for pets in their own home, keeping them in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and any special care they need. I treat every home and pet with respect and care, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.

“Christine was our first catsitter, from Rover, with Mario and Luigi. I felt really good leaving for 5 days, knowing that we had an established schedule and a list of extra info for Christine. She did amazing! I had news/pics daily. I am so pleased with Christine’s care. I especially appreciated the daily entries in a journal left for me 🤩. It was fun to read! Thank you so so much Christine 😻😻”


About: My name is David-Alexander. I am available to travel with my vehicle throughout the Gatineau and Ottawa area. I am currently available at any time, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends, to care for your pets either in your home or mine. I have a 11-year-old female dog named Kali. ALL PETS ARE WELCOME! Kali was aggressive for years I have experience with temperament Coming from a family that has always had pets, I have been passionate about animal care my entire life. I have owned dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and would be happy to care for yours as if they were my own. Why choose me? I understand how important it is to know that your furry family member is being left in a safe, caring, and trustworthy environment. I will make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, well-fed, and loved while you are away. Whether they need supervision, companionship, exercise, or simply someone to keep them company, I am happy to help. I would be happy to send you photos and updates of your pets while I am caring for them I can provide two one-hour walks each day for dogs who require lots of exercise. for temperamental dogs we must do a together session so they learn to get to know me I am also available for home visits where I can: Feed your pets Take them outside for bathroom breaks Walk and exercise them Give them affection and companionship Administer basic care according to your instructions My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care so that you can have peace of mind while you're away from your pets. I work from home and look for some companionship. hike and walk a lot. I love audiobooks, and I hate sitting still if you have a high-energy dog. Perfect. If your dog is old and slow. Awesome just means I get to the end of my book faster. I also had a rescue that needed a lot of training and an alpha male to make her feel protected and safe. It took years to get her to walk by people, dogs, and children. I still cry to this day thinking about where we started and how it ended. I think about all the times she looked up at me for reassurance. I miss her so much. Life is too short for animals; they need loving walks and belly rubs. My roommate has a mini dog. Our yard is large and fenced in. I'm always home or hiking, so your dogs would get a lot of walks and hikes in Gatineau Park. I also set goals for my dog; a newtrick a day keeps the doctor away.
“Isabelle took amazing care of our cat Layla while we were on vacation. It was nice to have picture updates while we were gone and see Layla was being well-fed and looked after. Isabelle will be the first person we call when we go away in the future :) Merci Isabelle!”

“We have three senior cats with special needs, and we were very worried to leave them alone for a few days. Jean‑François completely put our mind at ease and truly stole our hearts with the exceptional care he provided. Every day, he sent detailed updates about how our cats were doing, complete with notes about their meals, medications, playtime, litter cleaning, and all the affection he showered them with. I cannot recommend Jean‑François enough to care for your furry family members. Finding someone so trustworthy, attentive, and reliable has been such a gift. Thank you Jean‑François, on behalf of Mitaine, Kyra, and Hubert :)”

About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner for many years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of raising and caring for Mack, my black Lab who has been part of our family since 2012, Lilo, my beloved Miniature Pinscher who has passed away, and Harley, our Boston Terrier and Dachshund mix. Today, I share my life with Cookie, our four-year-old German Shepherd. Having experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, affection, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I know that pets are family, and I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while their owners are away. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I give my own! My daily routine includes three walks a day, plenty of playtime, affection, and cuddles! ❤️ I want every furry guest to feel safe, happy, and right at home while receiving all the love and attention they deserve. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! ❤️ I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family.

With my own German Shepherd, Cookie, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands. 🐾

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them family. Our first dog, Sasha, was adopted four months before I was born and had significant behavioural needs. She was my best friend for thirteen wonderful years, and caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. Since then, my family has had two more dogs, and I’ve gained experience caring for seniors, managing specialized diets, preparing food, and handling unexpected veterinary concerns. Our current dog, Zyler, has canine megaesophagus and requires specialized food preparation and feeding techniques. He’s a lot of work, but he’s also the absolute love of my life! I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and taking the time to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am a full time student. I have 3-5 hours of non-negotiable commitments during the week, but I am a homebody and I can be around constantly outside of synchronous in-person classes. I am free Tuesdays. Saturday’s and Sunday’s without restrictions I care for pets by taking my cues from your animal. Having been a foster volunteer, I am aware of signals and cues and how to respect an animal’s boundaries while caring for their needs. I am the cleanest, most respectful house guest and will leave the place immaculate. I will respect homeowners predefined boundaries while providing as much play and cuddles possible.
About: I’ve been watching dogs for 7 years now. I love all types of dogs. But the first dog I ever got close to was a pitbull. He was the first over night dog sit/house sit. I ever did, the couple would travel often due to work. So I would dog sit about 2/3 times a week. I did that for about two years and gained a lot of experience with dogs due to that job. I also find dog walking a great way to stay healthy and active with out it feeling like a work out. I’ve enjoyed dogging sitting ever since I started and don’t plan to stop. So for now that I can’t get a dog of my own. I’ll just watch yours ! Just send me a message and ill send you my number so we can set up a meeting. Price is negotiable. I’m currently a full time student online so I’m looking to make cash while staying active and happy and what a better way than to pet sit. I’ve loved animal since I was a little girl so being around them always brings me joy and as you’ll see they take a liking to me as well. Even the pups you think won’t, always end up loving me as well. I live in a very spacious one bedroom apartment with a balcony alone so they always feel free and nice fresh air. There is a courtyard in my building that is dog friendly and three dog parks near my building as well. So they will always have room to run and be themselves. I am a full time online student so I would be spending my whole day with your pups. They would always be in great care with love and attention. I have a nice courtyard in my building that’s pet friendly and they can play and I also have three dog parks in my area. Where they can run around and meet new pups if allowed I am currently an full time online student so I would be with your pup the whole day. If you’d like to hear my specific daily routine let me know 😊 I usually stick to the routine a parent gives me so they can feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me or if I’m staying in their home.
About: With 5 years of Veterinary Assistant experience, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to each pet. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and giving extra time and patience to senior pets. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar environment, so I care for them in their home where they feel safe and comfortable. I value routine and clear communication, and before each booking, I like to go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any important dos and don’ts. Safety is always my priority. For dogs, I avoid dog parks and interactions with unfamiliar dogs until I know their communication and comfort level. My goal is simple: to keep your pet happy, safe, comfortable, and cared for like family while you’re away. ❤️ I work strictly overnight shifts at an animal hospital, giving me flexible daytime availability to care for your pets with plenty of time and attention. I don’t care for pets in my own home because I strongly believe in the comfort and security of their familiar surroundings. When pet parents are away, I believe the least stressful option is for a sitter to come to them—allowing pets to stay in their own space, routine, and comfort zone.
About: I love love cats and dogs!! I sadly have not had the life yet to be able to own my own yet, but I am always the friend who is volunteering to take care of my friends’ pets!! I am excited and enthusiastic when my friends now ask me because they know I will say yes and try to make it happen. I work during the day a lot but am flexible with scheduling. So I am able to between my 2 shifts do pet care as well and I am always free in the late evenings. I also am a morning person, so I am also happy to feed and walk your pay before the day begins. I am always aware of where the pets are and pay attention to their behaviours and their body language. I keep an eye on them and follow them to see what they are up to and if they are the type to love attention I will provide them with it with snuggles or petting
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and I’m passionate about making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶❤️ I’m a patient and attentive pet caregiver who takes the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, a little shy and needs time to warm up, or simply enjoys some company and attention during the day, I’m happy to adapt to them. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every dog is different, and I believe in positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and never rushing a dog beyond their comfort level. When your dog is with me, my priority is simple: their safety, happiness, and well-being. I’ll treat your pup like my own and keep you updated so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐾💕 IG pawsandgrace26 My schedule allows me to dedicate my weekdays to pet care, especially during the daytime when many pet parents are at work. I’m available Monday through Friday from approximately 10 AM to 3 PM for dog walks, drop-in visits, and other pet-care needs. I’m also sometimes available on weekends depending on my schedule. I value consistency and reliability, so I’m happy to work with pet parents to establish a regular routine that works well for their pets. My priority is always the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment and always keep pets supervised and secure. During walks, I use appropriate leashes and pay close attention to my surroundings and the pet’s behavior. I also make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure so pets cannot accidentally escape. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I want both pets and their families to feel safe, comfortable, and confident in my care.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats all my life and I have a small 12 pound dog that is eight. I understand how important it is for pets to have time to play and stay into their daily routine. I am able to walk, play or administer medicine when required for dogs and cats. As a dog walker, my schedule permits me to walk anytime on the weekday, and early in the morning or early evening on the weekdays. I have time to walk, or change their litter, and ensure that their daily needs, medication or outdoor time is tended to. I am able to adjust the care as required to meet the needs of each pet. In my home I have one small 12 pound Pomeranian, who is eight and very sociable. If needed I can drop in to take care of your pets while you’re away, and with clear instructions I can ensure they’re cared for as needed.
About: I grew up with a dog and now I'm the doggie auntie💁🏻♀️. Very flexible as I work from home two days a week. Here for exercise and community building. I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays and otherwise I have availability at my job is flexible for breaks. I am also around most weekends. All I need is clear communication, and I can be flexible to any routine. I used to dog sit for dogs that required peanut butter on toast with breakfast and would only come inside from a jaunt if a granola box was being shaken, so I am up for any challenge and specificities.

About: Je m'occupe de chiens depuis mes 11 ans, je vis en ce moment avec un chiwawa de 11 ans et un chiot Pitsky (mix de pitbull et de husky) de 13 semaines. Je travaille en ce moment a temps partiel et en vu des vacances, j'ai beaucoup de temps libre pour garder vos animaux. De plus, je suis étudiant au cégep donc j'ai des vacances plus longues.

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 Ribot 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.
