“Was very easy to book with and when there was an issue with the booking they were quick to help me fix it. Great report and update on my pup. Followed instructions. Will book again in the future!”
“Judy was fabulous! She was very friendly at the meet & greet and clearly loves animals. She did a great job and sent lots of photos of our cats while we were away. It was great to have peace of mind while on vacation that our cats were being well taken care of.”
“Anick is the only one I trust to take care of my kitty. After hiring her for years now, she knows my cat well and can give me detailed feedback on how she's doing. My cat is very social and needs stimulation, and I can always tell when I get back from a visit that Anick did an amazing job, because my kitty is happy and well groomed and excited to see me! I really appreciate having the best cat sitter in the city.”
“Andrea was great. Responds extremely fast & took amazing care of my 2 cats :) she provided lots of photos and updates and I came home from my week vaca to two happy babies. Would recommend and will book again.”
“Madison was wonderful with our cats while we were gone! It was obvious they were well cared for and loved while we were away. Will definitely be asking for her again! 🥰”
“Leeann was a great caregiver who arrived right on time for two visits per day with my cat. She showed genuine warmth, and followed all of his feeding and care routines precisely. She also administered his daily oral medication and sent me a daily update and picture. Thank you!”
“Ava is our to-go pet sitter for our cat Tito! She is just such a sweet and attentive human! She sends tons of photos while pet sitting and in all of them it seems like our cat truly feels comfortable and trusts her, it's even funny to see how he doesn't seem to miss us and is just enjoying his time with her. She is also very polite and professional in all the interactions. I truly recommend her to everyone.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I treat them like family members. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want to provide reliable, compassionate care when their owners can't be there. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets, and I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I also have experience with shy and anxious pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and earning an animal's trust. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand how important trust and communication are. I'll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident they're happy, safe, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own senior cat and understand the importance of consistency, reliability, and attention to detail when it comes to pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. When caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to follow their routine as closely as possible and provide the attention, exercise, companionship, and care their pet needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I look forward to rather than simply another task on my schedule. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs and preferences. During drop-in visits, I'll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks as needed, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. For cats, I'll also scoop litter boxes and keep their area clean and comfortable. For dogs, I'll provide safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their age, energy level, and abilities. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower-paced stroll with lots of sniffing and exploring, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Josselyn has been an amazing pet sitter for my mini dachshund Rain, doing check ins 3-4 times a week for the last month. She's very kind and considerate when in your home, and especially when taking care of your pet! Her notes are super detailed, and you can tell she takes great enjoyment out of spending time with animals! Would strongly reccomend her :) Thanks Josselyn!”
“Cade was a great cat sitter! He arrived on-time for each check-in to administer Uno's oral medication, provide him with fresh food, water and clean his litter. I appreciate the extra little things, and I know Uno appreciated the pets and brushing. Thank you.”
“Ardele was very professional and loving towards my 2 cats while we took our first big trip away from them. I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her hands. We had daily updates and pictures so it made our trip less stressful knowing they were being looked after so well. Side note, one of my cats is a little snarky and Ardele was able to make friends with him in no time ❤️”
“Madalynn was excellent. I have a very anxious, jumpy Great Dane that Madalynn met, and she was very calm about his frustration and anxiety. She worked with him using treats and was able to settle him. She never showed any fear at all! I will have her back again!”
“Harleen was fantastic! We had a unique situation, visiting our daughter from our of tiwn. We needed someone to care for our pup while we took our daughter out for dinner. Harleen had super communication before and during her stay with Tashi. We highly recommend Harleen and would absolutely contact again when visiting.”
About: I enjoy helping dogs stay comfortable and relaxed in their usual routine. I offer dependable walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship with a calm, patient approach. I'm always happy to take dogs on long walks or play some fetch to help them run off some energy:) My schedule is flexible and I work from home frequently on week days so that makes it easy for me to pop over to people's places and check on their pets, feed them, drop in to administer medications or take them on a walk or play session. My home is better suited to cat clients who need somewhere else to stay while mom and dad are away:) I have large windows, a supervised balcony space, a lot of cat toys (including interactive toys) and puzzles, supplies like spare cat beds and scratching trees. And of course, they are always welcome on the furniture for cuddles when they're here:)
“Lacey was wonderful! You can tell that she really loves animals, so I was very comfortable leaving my cat in her care while I was away. I will definitely book with Lacey again for any future cat sitting needs!”
“I do not have enough positive things to say about our experience with Cynthia. Although new to the rover scene, her love of animals and attention to detail is so obvious. My guys immediately took to her upon first meeting - and I knew we had made the right choice! She truly went over and above to ensure that both our home and our precious kitties were safe and happy while away. I would not hesitate to recommend her in any capacity for your pet sitting needs 12 out of 10. Thank you, Cynthia!!!!!”
“I am avwry happy with Eunji. She's on time and sends lots of videos and photos and updates when she comes over. My dog Nigel loves her and I recommend Eunji to everyone who's looking for a dog sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rideau Park
This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kelly came over for a meet and greet and the cats all loved her right away. We left on our trip and I messaged Kelly in the morning and that is when we realized I had booked the wrong day! Thankfully she was able to go over to the house right away which saved our trip. She took the best pictures of our cats and did such a great job of looking after them. When we got home the cats were so happy and chill. We would highly recommend Kelly to watch your pets!
Once again, Ava was wonderful! I greatly appreciated her willingness to accommodate a last minute request. She made sure to spend lots of 1-on-1 time with each of my cats as they’re still in the process of being introduced, sent plenty of adorable photos, and reached out right away when she noticed one was under the weather. My girls clearly adored her which alleviated the stress of being away from my babies for a few days!
Cade was a great cat sitter! He arrived on-time for each check-in to administer Uno's oral medication, provide him with fresh food, water and clean his litter. I appreciate the extra little things, and I know Uno appreciated the pets and brushing. Thank you.
We’ve had Miranda and Aaron as cat sitters a few times now, and they are always great—thoughtful and reliable, with cute updates and pics. They pay attention to the small details and personal preferences of our cats, and go above and beyond to take good care of them. We’ll definitely contact them again the next time we need a cat sitter. Thanks Miranda and Aaron!
Leeann was a great caregiver who arrived right on time for two visits per day with my cat. She showed genuine warmth, and followed all of his feeding and care routines precisely. She also administered his daily oral medication and sent me a daily update and picture. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rideau Park on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,147 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Rideau Park. About 89% of Rideau Park sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Rideau Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
