“Jessica was wonderful, very accommodating to a last minute change in our plans. The dogs were very happy and enjoyed their time with her. We would definitely recommend her, and will be using her the next time we need a sitter. Thank you Jessica and we will see you soon.”
About: I have been around dogs from a young age being responsible for taking complete care of them for my family as well as responsible for caring for neighbours furry friends. I am a full time remote student completing my masters, and so taking care of people’s furry friends is a great change of pace for me to get exercise and take an animal friend with me at the same time. I am happy to accommodate for different dog needs as each dog requires special and individual care. Whether this be sensitive paws to food allergies and anything in between, I am happy to accommodate for each dogs needs
“This is the 3rd time we’ve booked Ash - she’s awesome with our dogs and cat, she has great communication leading up to the visit and while we’re away and the house is really well looked after. Thank you!!”
“Brooke is an amazing pet sitter. She went above and beyond watching our anxious dog & easy going cat while we were on vacation. She sent me pictures and updates daily, and she was warm and knowledgeable. Anytime we leave our dog with friends and family we come back to a very wound up & stressed pup…staying at home with Brooke who was reassuring and relaxed was a real game changer for our dog Bernie. I will 100% be using her again for pet sitting in the future! Thanks so much Brooke 😊”
About: Work-from-Home Dog Lover by Scenic Trails — Available all day for exercise, potty breaks, belly rubs, extra snuggles, and attentive loving care. I joined Rover because I love dogs. I work from home, which means I can give dogs lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every break is spent walking, playing, or giving belly rubs. I live beside the Collingwood trail network, so I often take dogs on longer, scenic walks through the trails or down by the water. Your pup will enjoy exercise, fresh air, and plenty of companionship. I have beautiful grassy areas around my building and access to safe, scenic trails, which makes walks enjoyable and varied for dogs. Inside, dogs are welcome to make themselves at home — whether that means snuggling on the sofa or lounging on the bed. I treat every dog like family, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and loved at all times.
“Natalie was Great! She was super responsive to our messages before and during pet sitting. Sent us great updates and the cutest pet news flash at the end to sum up Chief's time! SO CUTE!! Also, she is the only person who has managed to break through Chief's skeptical exterior, and he seemed to really like her! She's definitely got a magic about her! Thank you again Natalie!”
About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder. Dogs have always been a passion of mine! I will treat your dogs just like my own.. lots of TLC 🥰 FOR IN HOME CARE MY DOG MUST BE ABLE TO COME WITH ME I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally. We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will NEED to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.
“Ashley was phenomenal with our two crazy dogs. She fed them, took them for potty breaks and kept them company while we were out of the house. Ashley calmed the dogs down quickly and bonded with them instantly. Definitely recommend!!”

About: Hi there! 🐾❤️ I'm a huge animal lover and have been surrounded by pets my entire life! I have a cat of my own and have been pet sitting for friends for several years now. I've always loved spending time with animals, and I truly believe our pets are part of the family! When caring for someone else's pets, I treat them as if they were my own. Whether it's going for walks, playing, feeding, or just spending some quality cuddle time together, I want your furry family members to feel happy, loved, and comfortable while you're away. My biggest priority is giving pet owners peace of mind. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in caring, loving hands and being well looked after in the comfort of their own home. I'm also more than happy to send pictures and updates while you're away, if you'd like, so you can see how your furry friends are doing! I'm happy to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet sitting. I'm flexible and always willing to help however I can! At the end of the day, I genuinely just love animals and enjoy helping people. And if I get some extra dog or cat cuddles along the way, well, I'm a happy camper! 🐶🐱💕 I work full-time but have a pretty flexible schedule and am able to work from home when needed. I am happy to accommodate your pets schedule when taking care of them and follow the routines you have already in place. I will follow the rules you have set out for your pet to keep their routine going while you are gone and provide consistency. I am happy to do a meet and greet to get to know your pet(s) and a run down of how things go in your home.
“Abigail went above and beyond. From day 1 she kept us up to date on the goings on. I know our dog Bodhi will miss the attention she gave him 😁. I also feel like the house was in a better state than when we left. I would definitely recommend Abigail to anyone (and will be referring her to our friends).”
About: I have watched every type of pet for friends, family neighbours you name it. I’m known as responsible so I’m always offered tons of pet and housesitting jobs. I have also helped train two puppies who are well behaved now :) Currently working as an actor so my schedule is up and down but it will not affect me if I have committed to watching your pet or house Not applicable will only be watching at owner’s home. My current house has no backyard or anything suitable for pets or pet sitting. N A
“Robin was amazing, came out to visit before we left on vacation to socialize with our dogs.. While we were on vacation she communicated with us daily and sent us pictures while she sat the dogs at our house. House was even picked up and clean when we got home. Was a real pleasure having her take care of our house. Will certainly book her again in the future when we need her help. Would definitely recommend her!”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Stayner 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 Stayner 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 Stayner 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 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
