“Jennifer has been great with my dog, Dargo is always happy to see her for their weekday walks. She has been very accommodating with my sometimes chaotic work/travel schedule. Thanks for the great service!”
“Alexandra did an amazing job watching my two dogs, they both absolutely loved her! She was incredibly flexible, reliable, and made the whole experience stress-free. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the pets she looks after, and I would definitely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I am the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family! I have lots of experience caring for cats and dogs, and am ready to administer medication, clean, and adhere to specific diets. I am a musician and actor, and mostly work in the afternoon and evening, so in the daytime and late evening I am free to take care of your pet! I work to build trust with animals, and am careful to adhere to their boundaries. I offer compassion and respect, letting them become comfortable and feel safe with me.
“Emma is great with our puppy! We come home to a happy, well-exercised (mentally and physically) pup at the end of our days and couldn’t be happier. Emma is great with communication and sends me great photos which really make my day! Our pups love her, and we love the peace of mind her visits provide.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience. I've cared for my own dogs and cats since childhood, helped foster puppies and dogs, gained professional experience caring for animals, and spent years providing trusted pet care for friends, family, and neighbours. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I recently completed my Master's degree at the University of Waterloo and am excited to spend more time doing something I genuinely love: caring for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy staying active through walks while providing pets with the attention, companionship, and care they need. My flexible schedule allows me to be available throughout the day and week, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet's preferences, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I have experience entering and caring for clients' homes through previous positions, so I understand the importance of being respectful, responsible, and trustworthy in someone else's space. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering routine care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet and home with the same care and attention I would give my own. For services in my home, I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to secure walking routes, a fenced play area, and a nearby fenced dog park for exercise and enrichment.
“Alex has been absolutely great with our 7 year old pit heeler, Moon. Normally, Moon takes awhile to warm up to strangers, but with Alex, there was a bond from Day 1. Alex is fantastic: reliable and on time - rain, snow or shine, courteous and goes above and beyond in their daily 1 hour walks. So happy to find you, Alex! Many thanks to you, from Moon’s family! ❤️”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for animals and understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I currently care for my own cats, which has given me strong experience with feeding routines, litter care, playtime, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult pets, and senior animals, and I’m patient with pets who may be shy, anxious, or adjusting to a new routine while their owners are away. I can help reinforce basic puppy training habits like consistency with routines, positive reinforcement, and structured walks. I’m also attentive to senior pet care, making sure older pets are comfortable, sticking closely to their routines, and providing gentle care and extra patience when needed. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m very patient, observant, and communicative, and I make sure pet parents receive regular updates and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is always to provide a calm, safe environment where pets feel loved and owners feel completely at ease. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work from home overnight, which means my days are very open and flexible. Because of this schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention and supervision while their owners are away. My flexible daytime schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s normal routine, helping them stay comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. Keeping pets in a familiar routine helps them feel calm and secure while their owner is away. I’m very attentive and observant, making sure pets are always supervised and in a safe environment. I’m also careful about doors, gates, and outdoor safety during walks to ensure pets stay secure at all times. Communication is very important to me, so I always send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you’re away. Because I work from home overnight, my daytime schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working at an animal hospital, where I care for dogs and cats with different personalities, needs, and temperaments. I also volunteer with animal rescues and have fostered dogs through the Humane Society, which has given me experience caring for animals who need extra patience, attention, and understanding. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets! 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time at an animal hospital, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet sitting! I take a few classes during the week at the university, which are mostly online. Caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life, and I love spending my free time with them. I'm happy to accommodate different routines and make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime while staying with me! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I live in a cozy apartment with my animal loving friend and my friendly British Shorthair cat, Pashmak, who is part of my little family. With my experience working at an animal hospital and fostering dogs through the Humane Society, I understand how important it is to make every animal feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I always follow each pet's individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care instructions. I'll also provide plenty of love, attention, and photo updates so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me! 🐾

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was 7 years old—so I have 17 years of hands-on experience. What truly sets me apart is how deeply I connect with each pet—I see them as family.

I have a part-time job, so my schedule is flexible—I’m available any day of the week, and either my partner or I am always home. Your pet will never be alone—there’s always someone here for potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles!

When I care for pets in their home, I’m very flexible—I can adapt to their routine, and I’m happy to take them to a dog park or a local walking spot, even if it’s a bit farther. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family, no matter where we are.
“Keira stepped up to walk my dog Rusty 2x per day for a whole week, at last minute’s notice when my whole family suddenly fell sick.

“Sara is amazing with my dog Rodger. She is very reliable and he loves when she visits. She is flexible with our schedules and is often available last minute! Highly recommend Sara!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rosendale
I had the BEST first experience with Sarah walking my pug! From the moment she arrived, her energy was so warm and positive it instantly put both me and my dog at ease. My pug can be a little picky, but he absolutely loved her right away! When they came back from their walk, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell Sarah genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every little detail. For a first walk, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m honestly so excited to have found her highly, highly recommend Sarah
Catherine is great! She is very friendly and we have great communication with her, she is very reliable and responsive to has always been on time. Bailey absolutely loves her walks with Catherine. We are very happy we found Catherine! I would recommend her services.
Andrea did a fantastic job dropping in on our dog Luna. Andrea took her for a walk and spent time with her at home, gave her lots of attention and interaction. Luna had a great time and we felt very reassured and comfortable with all the photos and videos Andrea provided. We'd love to have her look after Luna again.

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.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Rosendale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Rosendale after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Rosendale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 Rosendale 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!
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.
