“This was our first time leaving Lola completely on her own, and without the company of anyone she knew, so I was naturally worried about how she would be while we were away. Angela totally put my mind at ease, and I knew Lola would be in good hands. Communication was great, and especially appreciated when a “technical issue “ arose. Most important of all, we came home to a happy, healthy kitty. Thank you Angela! 😻”
“Amandeep has been amazing with taking care of our senior dog. He is extremely friendly and attentive to our dogs needs and keeps us up to date by taking pictures and writing visit reports. We are so appreciative of how gentle and patient he is with our dog who is quite old. I would definitely recommend Amandeep!”
“Anjie took incredible care of Oscar and Luna during our 3-week trip. The daily updates with sweet notes and photos made such a difference and let us actually relax on vacation. She was so loving, responsible, and communicative. Our cats were clearly happy and well-loved. Thank you Anjie for the peace of mind! You are amazing!!”
About: I’ve been caring for my family’s black Labrador mix for the past 3 years. Taking care of dogs has taught me patience and responsibility, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. I can help with walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. My schedule is flexible throughout most of the week except Wednesdays. I have plenty of time to care for pets, including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them attention and companionship. I treat every pet with patience and care, just like my own dog at home. I always try to create a safe and calm environment and follow any instructions carefully from pet owners.
About: I am a passionate animal lover with over ten years of experience in pet care. I've developed a strong bond with animals through caring for my own pets growing up, as well as looking after the pets of friends over the years. I currently have a cat of my own and have cared for pets at all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. I live alone in a spacious 4-bedroom home with a fully fenced backyard, offering a safe and comfortable environment for pets. As I work from home, I am available to care for pets 24/7, ensuring they receive constant attention and love. I work from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. In addition to a fenced backyard, there are several parks just a few minutes away for dog walks. For cats, I have multiple cat trees and perches around the house, providing plenty of space for them to explore and relax during their stay. I work from home and lead an active lifestyle, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with pets while pet sitting. My house is spacious with a fenced backyard, and there are large parks just a few minutes away for dog walks. As a cat mom, I’ve got several cat trees and lots of fun toys for cats to enjoy. When caring for any pet, I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions exactly.

“Yi-Chen helped take care of my cat for three days and did a great job looking after her! She took so many photos during each visit and always made sure to let me know when she arrived and when she left and locked the door. My cat looked like she really enjoyed the experience!”
About: The most important thing to me is the health of your pet. That they are healthy, stimulated and most importantly happy. Your dog is not just a pet, they are your family member who deserves love and respect. A walk is not just to have your dog go out. It is an opportunity to let your dog explore the world, to work on obedient walking, and to gently correct any reactive behavior. I am actively engaged with your dog the entire walk: no distractions, lots of updates and all the attention to make sure they are hydrated, motivated and satisfied when they return home. Training starts young, positive reenforcement with lots of love and structure are the key to having the dog you want. I always carry treats, water, poop bags, an extra leash and tick removal tweezers on every walk. I also have in my car no rinse shampoo and a towel for if your pooch enjoys a little too much environmental play. Does your fur-baby want a fur companion? My dog Tomba is always up for a walk with his mommy and friends! My dog is a high maintenance prince. Bathing, drying, brushing is a weekly routine for us. Owners at my local dog park know that when I’m there, their dog might get a free spa brushing. I offer one on one private grooming services if your dog needs a freshen up! Your dog will always be welcome in my pack. I encourage booking a meet and greet first to see if your pet feels secure with me and to create an initial bond. Meet and greets are always free, even if it doesn’t work out 👍🏻 I can’t wait to meet you and your fur-baby! I’m attempting to transition my career into the dog world. My dog has brought so much to my life that I want to give the same loyalty and care to all dogs and owners who need help. I will pour all my energy into your dog! I am available any weekday and most weekends with notice. My pup is comfortable accompanying me on my journeys or chilling at home while mama works. We use puppy gates at home so I am always mindful of enclosures. Obedience is a life long practice for your dog. I will enforce all limits you have in place to uphold and teach your pooch to stay calm and happy throughout our time together.

I understand how important your pet is to you and treat every dog with patience, affection, and responsibility. I currently have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I am available for drop-in visits, feeding, litter care, and dog walks throughout the week and weekends.

“Stephanie was great from the beginning, very quick to answer and it looks like my cat Fluffy enjoyed her daily visits while we were away! She sent me lots of pictures and videos everyday and I was confident my cat was in good hands! Thank-you again!”
About: I've always been surrounded by pets through family and friends, which has given me plenty of experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. In addition to daily care, I have experience working on basic training and teaching dogs simple tricks and commands. I enjoy helping dogs practice skills such as sit, stay, come, down, paw, and other basic manners through positive reinforcement, patience, and consistency. Whether your dog is still learning or simply needs practice with commands they already know, I'm happy to incorporate training into our time together. Whether it's going for walks, playing games, practicing training, or simply giving lots of cuddles and attention, I love helping dogs feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, engaged, and loved while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I make it a priority to follow each dog's established routine, including feeding times, walks, play sessions, potty breaks, medication schedules, and downtime. Consistency is important, and I strive to make your pet's day feel as normal and stress-free as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions provided and maintain a calm, attentive environment where pets can feel secure. I understand that trust is important when leaving your pet in someone else's care, so I communicate clearly, follow routines closely, and ensure pets receive the attention, supervision, and affection they need throughout their stay.

About: I am best friends to dog lovers who also love to travel. So I often found myself baby-sitting their pups, which I always welcomed. I have experience in handling 2 pups and 3 cats at the same time. I work on weekdays, 9-5. I would love to hang out with fur babies in the evenings, for night stays, or on weekends. I also work remotely on occassion, so I can make time on those days as well. I have a fenced yard, it is a big yard. There are also a number of parks and walkways around me. It is a residential neighbourhood.
“Lesley is simply amazing! She took great care of Choco while I was away, followed Choco's feeding instructions, and always kept me in the loop of her daily activities. She even went out of her way to water my plants and collect my mails. When I returned home, it was just as clean as the day I left. I’d always worry about Choco when I travelled now I know who to go to!”
“We had a great experience with Rachita! She did drop-ins for our cat while we were away and she was caring to our kitty, responsible, and a great communicator. She was also super helpful and flexible when we asked her to do a couple other tasks for us. We would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future!”
About: Mira - I have owned my own pets at a young age from fishes to pocket pets and dogs, ranging from small to large breeds. I graduated in the Animal Care program and currently work as a Vet Assistant at an animal hospital where I work with both cats and dogs and handle emergency to non-urgent cases.I have a good understanding of pets needs (i.e. caring for senior pets, medical concerns, specialized diet, etc.) I used to do dog walking as well. Charles and I are both pet lovers on top of my own experiences. Mira works 8hr shifts on the weekdays and is usually free on weekends. Charles is a nurse and does shift work, so he is available weekdays and weekends depending on his schedule. We do try our best to make our schedule work with your pet but there may be times where your pet may have to be alone for 8hrs due to our work schedule. If a drop off or pick up is needed, please let us know so we can arrange something! Your pets comfort and safety is our number one priority. We currently live in a large one bedroom apartment with no pets. Although we don’t have a backyard, we enjoy one on one time with the pet we’re caring for and will always try to bring them on mini supervised adventures (mainly walks on trails unless the owner specifies something different!) Ideally we don’t allow dogs to meet with other dogs unless specified. We take care of one pet at a time unless from the same household. If you would like to meet in person beforehand to make sure your pet and us are a good fit, feel free to message us for arrangements.
“Felt like my pets were in safe hands. Melisa was very thorough, always asking if she had any questions. She went above and beyond. even brushed my dog, Yoshi, because he was shedding.”

I give them attention, talk to them like I talk to a child and show effection which in turn lets them trust me as a human.

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.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
