“We organized a meet and greet with Caleb before we went away and he and Butters hit it off right immediately. We were received regular updates and are thrilled with Caleb and the way he treated our dog AND our house. Butters never even missed us! We highly recommend Caleb AND Rover and we will definitely use your service again.”

“We chose travel dates based on Solana’s schedule because we trust her so much! We went away for an entire month while she house-sat for us and took care of our two cats. Every day while we were away we’d look forward to her updates. When we came back, the house was tidy, and our boys (cats) were totally calm and happy. We couldn’t ask for more!”


“Selena was great! She kept us well informed throughout her stay with Margot, also being proactive in her communication when it seemed Margot wasn’t feeling 100%. Selena also left our house in amazing shape upon leaving!”

“Christina was great with our furry and feather family. Everyone seemed happy and relaxed upon our return. She kept us updated throughout the stay and our house was kept neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend Christina!!”
“Carmen did a great job taking care of our dog. He's advanced in years but we came back from our trip and he was comfortable, content, and all tuckered out from a nice walk. I strongly recommend her services.”

“What I appreciate most about Bozhena is how attuned she is to Morgan's personality. She takes the time to actually play with her and sit with her and make sure she feels safe and comfortable while we're away. Every time we return, Morgan is relaxed and clearly hasn't missed a beat, which says everything about the quality of care Bozhena provides. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter their cat will actually be happy to see.”

About: Hi there, fellow dog lovers! I’m a proud dog owner with 12+ years of experience caring for dogs, including my four-year-old Golden Retriever and my Lab mix. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience and affection I give my own. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to help fellow dog owners in the Stouffville neighbourhood with dog walking, drop-in visits and, in select situations, boarding in my home. I’ll be especially available throughout December, when my wife and kids will be travelling overseas. Whether your dog needs a walk, some company during the day or a safe, caring place to stay, I’d be happy to help. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home and available for early morning walks 8-9 and deliver after 12;30-1pm on most weekdays; flexible weekends ins December and Christmas holiday period. Your dog will feel right at home with us! We have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore and play, and plenty of space on our main floor to relax, roam and sleep comfortably.

“Bernice was great! She was on time and kept my dog great company while I was gone for work. I was happy to get picture updates as well through out her stay in my home. I will definitely book her again!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every dog. As a Golden Retriever owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, which helps dogs feel comfortable and safe around me—especially those who may be shy or need a little extra time to warm up. I focus on creating a positive experience for each dog, whether that means energetic walks for active dogs or slower, gentle walks for senior dogs. I also make sure to follow the owner’s routine closely so pets feel secure and stress-free. I provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your dog is doing, and I’m very reliable when it comes to timing and communication. My goal is not just to walk or care for your dog, but to make sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and have built into my weekly routine. While I work full-time during the weekdays, I dedicate my weekends to dog walking and pet care, ensuring I have the time and energy to give each pet proper attention. On weekends, I plan my schedule carefully so I can provide reliable and consistent care, whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or spending quality time with the dogs. As a dog owner myself, caring for my Golden Retriever Cherry is already a part of my daily life, so pet care naturally fits into my routine. I’m used to managing feeding schedules, walks, and playtime, and I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every pet I look after. I make sure to only take on bookings that I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and time they deserve. I provide attentive and safe care tailored to each pet’s needs. At the client’s home: I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, playtime, and any medications. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space and send regular photo or video updates so owners know their pets are happy and safe. At my home (if offering house sitting or drop-in care): I create a calm, friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and exploration. I supervise pets closely, provide affection and mental stimulation, and maintain their usual routines as much as possible so they feel secure and loved. My priority is always the well-being, comfort, and happiness of every pet in my care.
“As always, Angela took wonderful care of my cat Pumpkin while I went away for the night. She left him with full bowls of water, food, and a clean litter box. She as always keeps my home tidy. Pumpkin will be looking forward to the next trip I take so that he can play and snuggle with Angela. Thank you, Angela and a 5 Meow Rating from Pumpkin!”

“Emma did a fantastic job of watching after our animals while we were gone on vacation. She sent us lots of daily updates and pics to keep us at ease while we were away. We'll definitely be using Emma again in the future.”

About: For me, pets are not just another being living at home but a part of family. Hence, I patiently learn, understand their character and needs so that I can provide the required care accordingly. As I am currently a stay at home wife, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I ensure regular feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping a clean, secure space. I build trust with lots of love, regular meals, and playtime, using pet-friendly products to keep everything healthy.
About: my extensive experience working with a variety of pets, including cats and dogs. I understand the unique needs and personalities of each animal and can provide tailored care and attention to ensure their comfort and happiness while you're away. Additionally, I prioritize open communication with pet owners to ensure they feel fully informed and confident in the care their beloved pets are receiving I’m currently have a full time job, but I have enough time to take care of pets after work, and full time available when during the weekends I currently live in a condo, when I have time I always bring my dog outside for fun. When in weekdays, I will bring my dog out for at least twice a day, and more than one hour play time at night. When in weekends, I’ll bring my dog go to trails and swimming at summer :)
About: I absolutely love cats and always want to be around them. I’ve always wanted to take care of cats, and now that I've gotten the opportunity to do that (through having cats of my own), I'd love for that to be a constant in my life. They’re funny, and literally the best companions you could ask for. My experience is wide-ranged as I've taken care of cats with different health issues such as CKD. This also stretches into personality types, with my most common being anxious personalities; however, this is not a limitation! I do have a part time job at the moment which does limit drop in and house sitting requests, but I am still open to discussing any requests made! I am now at home at all times, which means that I can factor in cat care at all hours! If there are any changes or caveats, I'd likely make it known during booking. I like to attend to pets as they see fit. Taking care of their daily needs and finding ways to cancel out boredom, with things like toys, and cat mazes. My main priority is also the cat’s safety. So, making sure that I pick up after myself (because cats are sneaky) is something that I try to reinforce.
About: I'm a calm, patient pet caregiver who truly understands that every animal has their own personality and needs. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to dignified seniors—I know how to adapt my approach to make each pup feel comfortable and happy. For the past 8 years, I've been the proud companion of a cat with FIV, which has given me valuable experience with special needs pets and the importance of attentive, knowledgeable care. I understand that trust is everything when you're leaving your furry family member with someone else. My easy-going energy seems to be something dogs pick up on right away. Whether it's a nervous rescue who needs a little extra patience, a high-energy pup who needs structured playtime, or a senior dog who prefers gentle walks and cozy naps, I create a stress-free environment where pets can be themselves. When your pet is with me, they'll get individualized attention, plenty of affection, and the kind of care I'd want for my own animals. I'm reliable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. I work a standard 9-5 schedule on weekdays, with the flexibility of working remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. This means I'm available to pet sit at your home on those days and can be there throughout the day to provide attentive care, regular check-ins, and plenty of company for your pet. My weekends are completely open, making them ideal for overnight stays, extended visits, or any pet care needs you might have. Whether you need someone for a quick weekend getaway or longer-term care, I can accommodate your schedule and ensure your pet receives consistent, reliable attention. Due to family members with dog allergies and having a very territorial cat at home, I'm unable to accommodate pets in my own house. However, I specialize in providing care at your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I have extensive house-sitting experience and understand how crucial it is to follow homeowners' instructions precisely—and this is even more important when it comes to caring for their beloved pets. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication routines, walking routes, or household rules, I'm meticulous about respecting your preferences and maintaining your pet's regular routine. As someone who has used similar services for my own pet, I know firsthand how much peace of mind comes from clear and regular communication. I'm committed to keeping you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well-cared for while you're away.

“Laura took wonderful care of my dog, Luna, and I’m already in the process of rebooking her. Luna has anxiety and leash reactivity, and Laura took the time to truly listen to both Luna’s needs and mine. She was attentive, compassionate, and made sure to care for Luna exactly the way I needed. Laura was also incredibly thorough, taking detailed notes and joining us on walks before her stay to build trust and get to know Luna better. I’m so grateful to have found her!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stouffville
Caleb was a fantastic sitter for our German Shepard and Cat. We really appreciated him meeting with us in advance to get to know the pets, their routines and familiarize himself with their environment. Our kids loved the update pictures that Caleb send to show them their happy pets. Caleb took great care of our pets and our home. We would definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future.
We organized a meet and greet with Caleb before we went away and he and Butters hit it off right immediately. We were received regular updates and are thrilled with Caleb and the way he treated our dog AND our house. Butters never even missed us! We highly recommend Caleb AND Rover and we will definitely use your service again.

Jen is absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of my 3 dogs with very diverse needs. She was so thoughtful and went so far above and beyond in every way. My dogs had so much fun swimming, hiking, playing, and snuggling with Jen that I think they were disappointed that we came home! She is awesome, anyone would be lucky to have her care for their pets.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Stouffville 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 Stouffville 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 Stouffville 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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
