“Andrea was so helpful in looking after our 10 week old puppy for two days so we could work! She did a great job following the busy puppy schedule we gave her and she even accommodated us on a last minute request for service. Would definitely recommend her and hope to have her back in the future!”

“Amanda stayed in our home with our two dogs for a week. She was wonderful to work with and was amazing with our dogs. Our dog Shelby, had a small wound to deal with and had to have a cone on while Amanda was out. Amanda gave them both all the love and care they needed and then some. We will definitely be booking her again. Thanks Amanda 😃”
“We were so thankful to have Ava housesit our dog Buddy and cat Bear while we were away for a few days! She was very kind, her communication was excellent, and she obviously cares a lot about animals and making your pets feel loved. Will absolutely book her again and would recommend her to anyone else!”
“Damicka did a wonderful job dog sitting my slightly shy and anxious large dog for a long weekend. She is responsible, friendly and her communication was excellent. My dog was comfortable with her and it was nice to know she was in good hands while I was away. I would absolutely book dog sitting with Damicka again.”
“Carmen took care of our cat and 2 dogs. She was wonderful with them. She lots of love and sent pictures and videos. She even washed bedding when our cat had an accident. Will be using her again!”
“Colin was amazing with my dogs! They got daily walks, we received daily detailed updates, and I could tell they were torn about leaving him. They definitely bonded with him as we saw from the pics of them cuddled up. Would definitely book with Colin again! Thank you so much!”
“Katia was an excellent sitter, and we would absolutely with her book again. My dogs were very comfortable with her, and I really appreciated the check-ins. She left our house super tidy, and the dogs were tired when we got home. Our big, energetic dogs are not for everyone, but Katia did not seem overwhelmed by them at all and bonded with each of them. I highly recommend her services.”
“Sidney watched our two dogs while we were away for 5 days and she did a tremendous job. She sent photo updates daily and I could tell the dogs were very well cared for. 10/10 recommend and will be booking again!”

“Winter is super-sweet and took really good care of my cat and dog. My home was tidy when I arrived home. She kept me updated about my "kids" and did a great job for a long stay. I'd happily book with her again!”
About: I have grown up with pets all of my life. On top of being a pet parent to my own reactive dog, I fostered dogs for 5 years, have worked in a dog kennel, and assisted with a pet food bank. I am a student and I work part time with a very routine schedule. My schedule thurs-sun is very free and I am always willing to see if I can fit you into my schedule. I will defer to owners requirements and requests at all time! Dogs will remained on leash when on walks, and all needs will be attended to
“Kevin was very professional when it came to watching all of our pets. He made sure they had all the necessities and sent us some photos and updates with how things were going. We didn't have to worry at all while we were out of town and our pets warmed up quickly to his calm nature.”
“What a godsend Nicholas was for our pups! Our trip away had stressful events, but the care of Pepper and Layla back home wasn’t one. It is clear that Nick adores the company of dogs, and our pups felt the same about him. Also, he could easily handle the 170 lbs of dogs for walks; that is a rare quality in dog sitters. He was communicative, and sent photo and video updates. We will definitely hire Nicholas again.”
“Alex dog/house sat for us for two weeks. He was very communicative and friendly and provided regular updates and pictures. Our dog loved him. There were zero issues and he left our house very tidy! We are very happy with Alex's services and would definitely book him again!”

Colin was amazing with my dogs! They got daily walks, we received daily detailed updates, and I could tell they were torn about leaving him. They definitely bonded with him as we saw from the pics of them cuddled up. Would definitely book with Colin again! Thank you so much!
Shayna was so wonderful with my Poppy girl! She was communicative throughout her stay, and sent regular photo updates. Shayna is clearly gentle, thoughtful and loving - the perfect combination for a pet sitter. I absolutely plan on hiring Shayna again to care for Poppy and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
Courtney looked after our golden retriever Chester for 2 weeks in September. As always we have no hesitation about going away when Courtney is there. Chester is well looked after. Fed, walked and played with daily. She also gives him his daily pills. Chester always spends at least 2 days looking for her after she leaves. When she leaves you can barely tell she was even here. The house is left exactly as it was found. We highly recommend Courtney for all your pet care needs.
Abigail was a fantastic sitter for Wylie while I was away. She is excellent with dogs and I felt like I could completely trust her. It was my first experience with Rover and Abigail was professional, kind and great with updates throughout. Ill be a return client for sure!
Thank you, Anick, for taking such great care of our pup! It was his first time receiving this kind of care, and we truly appreciated how kind and attentive you were. The consistent updates, willingness to stay back as long as needed and flexibility with our last-minute schedule changes gave us great peace of mind. We’re very grateful for the wonderful care you provided!
Kyla was wonderful watching our dog, cat and fish! She gave us updates and sent photos to let us know how everyone was doing while we were away, and she went out of her way to make sure our pup felt better after having some unexplained diarrhea (and she cleaned up his mess, which we felt so badly about). We will absolutely hire her again when we go away again in the future!
Demi was wonderful! I really appreciated her being available last minute, and coordinating with her was so easy. She took such great care of Ollie while I was away and sent lots of updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, it was clear that Ollie had been very well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Demi and would happily have her care for Ollie again!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Rideau Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Rideau Park walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Rideau Park 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
