“This was my first time using boarding services on Rover and it was a great experience. Kristina was wonderful to work with, she seemed to really bond with my dog Gracie at their meet and greet, she gave regular updates and I really trusted her to take care of Gracie in my home. Hoping to book with her again!”

“Aaron did a great job taking care of our 2 giant fur babies, our home and our plants! He provided updates and pictures and I felt secure that everything was well taken care of while we were away for 5 days. We came home to happy dogs, a clean house and peace of mind! I would happily hire him again next time we go away.”

“Jamie was amazing! We are always skeptical getting someone new to watch our dogs as one of our dogs can get very anxious around new people but Jamie was able to win her over very quick! He made sure to keep us updated on how things were going while we were away, which was nice being able to see how happy our animals were! Coming home to a sparkling clean house was also something that was way beyond what we expected, but he had made sure everything was ready for our return. If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies like they are family Jamie goes above and beyond!”

I am an educator with evening and weekend availability. I will have open availability for the summer. During the summer I will be able to spend full days with you dog. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment.

Dogs can relax on the couch, explore the yard, or settle into a quiet space depending on their needs. I keep their routine consistent with yours, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free.

I keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I prioritize safety, communication, and giving them lots of love, attention, and gentle structure so they feel secure and happy.

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! If you are anything like me, your furbabies are just as much a part of your family as anyone else. That is why I know you want the best care possible. Not only do I provide a fun, loving atmosphere, it is also safe and caring. I will treat them as well as I do my own. I have grown up with over 6 dogs (always having 2 at a time) and also with 4 cats. I currently have a 3 year old golden named Fax, and an 11 year old cat named Silver. Professionally, I have volunteered as well at the SPCA hospital and have finished my Veterinary Office Management certificate program at Mohawk College. Through Red Cross, I've attained my First Aid & CPR certification for cats and dogs. Over the past 12 years, I have worked at 4 different veterinary hospitals (emergency too), helping animals of all ages. Currently I'm at a physical rehabilitation facility for animals helping with pre and post op care - SO rewarding. I offer a variety of services; whether that be dog walks, cat visits, pet sitting, daycare, nail trims, brushing, bathing or post-op care. I look forward to doing business with you and your lovely animal/s in the near future! I work part time 2 - 3 days per week at an animal physical rehabilitation clinic, which leaves the rest of the time to help others pets. I even dog walk sometimes before work, during my lunches, or after work on those days too. I would treat them with the upmost kindness, so they keep their happy routine. I'm great with following all owners instructions (may get spoiled here and there if allowed!). I have a fenced yard, I enjoy going on leashed walks (working at a vet clinic I'm very weary of strangers dogs and can never be too careful - I do not do dog parks personally). If needed, I would see if they enjoy being brushed/cuddled or like their personal space. I always have my own forms filled out for my records so I know who to contact in case of emergencies, if they have allergies, if meds are needed, if they have a favourite toy etc.

About: I’ve gotten experience with various animals over the years. I love to support them and help them feel happy and cared for. I’m careful not to teach bad habits. I listen to what they want and need. Tell me what you need and I can fit something in! I am available most of the time in someway - so we can work it out! I use a calm tone where I don’t overexcite the animal and provide good manners reinforcement and also play and engagement. I make sure I am predictable and don’t cause the animal to be uncertain. I follow training and routine that the animal is most used to. I assert my boundaries so the animal knows what to expect from me. I like to give the animal space and respect. I also love to show affection or approval through touch sometimes and especially through positive communication and rewards.

Great with communication (lots of photos and updates) and really cared to keep up the puppy training I’m doing. Very responsible (even with an unexpected house issue) I knew I was leaving my dog (and house) in capable hands. Will definitely use Laura’s again! Highly recommend.”

About: Hello and thank you for visiting my Rover page! My name is Victoria and I've had dogs my whole life. I absolutely love all dogs. I currently work from home full time so I'm willing and able to dog sit and board dogs most of the time. I'm usually home every weekend as well. Would love to meet and greet your pets! My job is fully remote so I'm at home working full time. I am able to sit or board your pet into my weekly routine with ease. I always fit in a walk or two during my work day as well. I have a fenced yard, two big parks near my house for walks and a crate if need be. I provide peace of mind by sending pictures daily and making sure that your animals are well taken care of.

About: I have a way with animals. They seem to respond to me. I use a strict tone so they know when to listen. I use a different tone when it comes to playing. At the moment I just became unemployed so I see this as an opportunity to do what I've always wanted to do. Work with dogs. Mega love. Always fresh water. Fed accordingly to what the owner wants. I always have treats on hand. I talk to them and make sure they're not stressed.

About: Love to be around pets especially dogs. I dog sit every time I get a chance and always make a fuss( awesome fur baby auntie). I have cared for family, friends and also from a house sitting website that I would always ensure there was a pet to care for as well. I had cats all my life so I am use to them and love them just as much. If I wasn't an entrepreneur I am sure I would be a vet or in some way a service to animals and our dear pets. My one cousin is studying to become a vet and i talk with her all the time about the best way to care for a pet. I am an entrepreneur and can make my own schedule. I have a online based business and can work from anywhere to ensure I have enough time for the furry loved ones. I care for pets in their own environment. I like to keep them as close to what they are use to as far as schedules/structures. I give them a dose of love with any and all activities we do together.

About: I grew up with Moose, our family's Shar-Pei. The breed tends to be wary of strangers, and watching Moose slowly warm up to visitors taught me to let a new dog come to me when they're ready. I've also walked dogs for neighbours and friends, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. On walks, my phone stays in my pocket unless I'm taking photos for your update. That way, I spot a dropped chicken bone before your dog does. If your dog tenses up at an oncoming dog, a skateboard, or a goose, I cross the street or head the other way before it turns into barking or lunging. I also adjust each walk to your dog, whether they need a slow stroll with lots of sniffing or a brisk pace to burn off energy. I'll stick to your rules too: the commands you use, how many treats are allowed, and whether the couch is off-limits. I'm on a lighter course load this term, so apart from a few classes, I'm available 7 days a week, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. That means I can walk your dog at the same time every weekday while you're at work, so they know what to expect. I'm also around for last-minute walks when you're running late, and I can usually do a meet & greet within a day or two of hearing from you. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so if it shows me as available, I am. If my class schedule changes next term, I'll give you plenty of notice. At our meet & greet, I'll learn your dog's routine, how they are with other dogs, what spooks them, and who to call in an emergency, including your vet. On walks, I make sure your dog can't back out of their collar or harness, keep them leashed the whole time, and always pick up after them. They only greet other dogs if you're fine with it and the other dog's owner agrees. On hot days, I test the pavement with the back of my hand to make sure it's safe for paws, bring water, and keep walks short and shaded. When it's bitterly cold or icy, I shorten walks and stick to cleared paths. In your home, I block the doorway when I come and go so your dog can't dart out, and I never bring anyone else inside. On drop-ins and house sits, I keep meals, walks, and bedtime on your dog's usual schedule. When I'm staying over, I never leave them alone longer than we've agreed. Before I leave, I wipe mud or road salt off their paws, refill the water bowl, latch any gates, and lock up. After every visit, you'll get photos and a quick update, including bathroom breaks. If anything seems off, like limping or an upset stomach, I'll let you know right away.

About: Are you looking for someone who will provide quality care and love your pet as much as you do? Look no further! I've been born and raised with multiple animals varying in breeds and sizes my entire life! I am a kind, caring, hard working professional that lives independently. I currently have one small dog of my own, he is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. At your request, I am able to provide alternate arrangements for him should your pet need solo care. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet to fulfill your needs and my own love for animals! You are guaranteed a genuine, kind, wholehearted animal lover who will provide exceptional care, love, affection, attention, and a comfortable living environment. I currently live in a three-story two bedroom townhouse on my own. While your pet is with me, they will be my number one priority! I'm more than happy to share my bed for cuddles at night, or maintain your routine of sleeping in a dog crate or any other special requests. I am directly across the street from a park, which ensures your pet will receive quality exercise in a beautiful environment that provides flexibility for either independence or socialization along our route. My career as a social worker speaks to my kind, compassionate, attentive nature. Whether your pet needs a lap to sit on, or someone to play fetch with… I am sure you will feel confident leaving your loved one in my hands... they may love it so much they don't want to leave! I work a balance of both in office and from my home. My office is only 15 minutes from my home which allows for easy lunch walks and minimal alone time. I have a small dog as a companion for your fur baby, or if preferred, he can be housed elsewhere. Your pet will be safe and secure in my townhome and only outside on leash. I am a confident dog walker and live in a safe neighbourhood across from a park.

“Ashley went above and beyond watching our two dogs for the week. Our older dog had an unexpected medical issue and Ashley identified an issue quickly and was able to bring our dog to the vet and coordinate giving meds for the rest of her stay. The house was left in better shape than when we left for vacation. Would highly recommend!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Stoneridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Stoneridge 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 Stoneridge 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 Stoneridge 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. 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.
