“It was a pleasure to have Arjun at our home, he did an excellent job with our dog, providing reliable updates and very attentive communication throughout. Arjun left the house in perfect condition and also cared for our small pets with enthusiasm and interest. We recommend him without hesitation. He was professional, caring, reliable and an all around excellent house sitter!”
“Jasmine was great! She was communicative and my dogs really loved her calm demeanour. It made me happy to know they would be well taken care of when I was away. Thank you!”
“Sheila is an exceptional cat/home sitter! She’s very attentive to Darcy’s quirks and takes good care! She also left my home immaculate and tended to my flowers ensuring they stayed gorgeous!”
“Danielle took exceptional care of our girls! She was communicative, sent us lots of updates and photos. We were confident our girls were in great hands! 🙌 highly recommended!!!”
“Sanchita was amazing. Responded in short notice, went above and beyond and made the stay so perfect. We got sent photos all day and we knew exactly what she was doing with our anxiety dog who has separation anxiety. She is amazing and would recommend her to anyone and hope to definitely use her service again. We cannot say enough good things.”
“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!”
About: Your furry family member will receive top-notch care, endless love, and plenty of fun with me! From invigorating walks to cozy cuddles, I ensure a safe, happy, and stimulating environment. Experienced with small-medium breeds and temperaments. Let's chat about your dog's needs! Woof woof! Your favorite human-handler is eager to know... when do you need my paws-itive assistance? Are we talking squirrel-chasing o'clock, or perhaps a mid-day belly rub session? Just give me the "when" and I'll be there, tail wags guaranteed! Hold Your Leashes, Paws-itive People! 🐾 Before I zoom in to help with your bestest buddy, I gotta sniff out some deets! My human wants to make sure we have the happiest, safest romp possible. So, before I wag my tail into action, tell me: * Is your pup a shy snuggler or a zoomie superstar? Any barks about other pups or strange hoomans? * Got any tummy troubles or ouchies I should know about? And do they have a secret stash of meds? * What's our daily sniff-and-stroll schedule? We gotta stick to that potty routine! * Are they a polite leash-walker or a squirrel-chasing champion? My arms need to be ready! * And if there's an "uh-oh," who do I call besides you? And where's their favorite vet's hideout? Knowing all this helps me be the bestest helper a pup could ask for! Let's make some happy memories! When I step into your home to care for your beloved dog, know that I'm not just a sitter; I become their devoted companion. My mission is to seamlessly step into your shoes, ensuring your dog's routine, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I'll treat them with the same love and attention you do, making their time without you as stress-free and joyful as possible, right where they feel most secure. A Day in Your Home Our day together will begin with a refreshing walk through their familiar neighborhood, following their favorite routes and sniffing out all the usual exciting scents. Whether they're a leisurely stroller or a high-energy explorer, we'll ensure they get the perfect amount of exercise and mental stimulation they thrive on. Potty breaks will be frequent and consistent, aligning perfectly with their established schedule. Throughout the day, playtime will be paramount in their own familiar surroundings. We'll engage in their favorite games with their own toys—be it a spirited game of fetch in the yard, a stimulating puzzle with their treats, or simply some cozy cuddle time on their favorite couch. I'll always have a watchful eye, ensuring their safety and enjoyment within the comfort of their own space. Personalized Care & Peace of Mind The beauty of in-home care is maintaining their precious routine. Their feeding schedule will be strictly adhered to, using their own bowls and food, just as you prepare it. This includes any specific dietary needs or medication administration you require. Fresh water will always be readily available in their usual spots. For their comfort, they'll have access to all their favorite napping spots—whether that's their own bed, a sunny patch by the window, or right next to me while I relax. I'll be attuned to their body language, recognizing when they need a quiet moment, a comforting presence, or an extra ear scratch in their familiar environment. Beyond caring for your dog, I'll treat your home with the utmost respect and care. I'll ensure it remains tidy, secure, and exactly as you left it. You'll receive regular updates throughout the day, including photos and messages, so you can see firsthand how happy and content your dog is in their own environment. My priority is to provide you with complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and thriving right where they belong. I'm truly excited to step in and make your dog feel loved and secure in their own cherished home! Do they have any special quirks or habits that would make their stay even more comfortable?
“5 stars for Tania. We went away mid February and it was such a relief to have her watching over our kittens. She would send daily updates and pics. Thanks for everything! Definitely will be booking again and using Tania.”

About: I have taken care of our pets since I was a kid. I have had everything from the regular dogs and cats to sheep, chickens and horses. I am a true animal lover and so is my husband. I work full time but in a rotation that allows flexibility. Love spending time at home with our furbabies and enjoying our backyard with yard work and gardening. We have a fully fenced yard for you pet to run around and beautiful areas as we are a few minutes from Bayfront park/waterfront piers. We have 2 furbabies of our own and we are both animal lovers.
About: I have both professional and personal experience working with dogs and cats! I’ve worked in doggy daycares since I was 15 while also caring for family and neighbourhood cats. Additionally, I’m a Veterinary Assistant student that’s received a fear-free certification along with CPR/first aid training. I love all animals and enjoy caring for them! At the moment, I work part-time at a nearby doggy daycare but I am able to adjust my schedule to accommodate the needs of any future clients I always ensure I’m creating a safe environment for the dogs in my care, if we’re walking or at home. On walks I’ll always survey the area and watch your dogs body language to check for any anxiousness and handle all situations with a calm and collected demeanour.
About: Hey! I'm Bree, a dedicated pet sitter based out of Hamilton, Ontario. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a little kid, and over the years I've built real experience with dogs who need a little extra care and confidence. I’m experienced caring for brachycephalic dogs, working with dogs with a bite history and all kinds of behavioural challenges, and keeping a close eye on escape artists who love to test their boundaries. Alongside that, I also care for cats, turtles, fish and small animals, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different, and some need a little extra patience, reassurance and understanding. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has their own very specific routine, I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved while their family is away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I love being able to give pet parents peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and plenty of care and attention! I offer a range of services to ensure your furry, feathered, or scaly friends are well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need boarding (if more comfortable, Luna and Ivy can be boarded at my mom's during your pet's sit), overnight care, or daily pet sitting, I’m here to help. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I strive to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer dog walking services. I work remotely on a flexible schedule, so I can build my day around your pet’s routine instead of the other way around. That means I can stay at your home for overnights, fit in morning and evening visits, and be there for midday feedings, medication times, or a check-in when your pet needs company. If your pet likes having someone around, I can work from your place while I’m there. Last-minute bookings, longer trips, and holiday coverage are often possible too, and I’m happy to keep to your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and medication schedule down to the minute. I care for pets in whatever setting suits them best, whether that’s in your home or mine. Most animals are calmest in their own space, so I’m happy to come to you for drop-in visits, daily sitting, or overnight stays. Boarding in my home is also available for pets who do well in a new environment. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine: feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep an eye on the house, bring in the mail, and water plants if needed. In my home, pets get a safe, secure, supervised space, along with the same routine, exercise, and company they’re used to. Either way, you’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience giving medications and injections, and I’m comfortable with pets who are shy, anxious, or need extra patience. We’ll go over your pet’s routine, quirks, and any special needs at a free meet and greet before the first booking.
About: As a long time dog lover and owner, I decided to start fostering dogs through a number of local dog rescues. One of these "foster fails" triggered a new interest that has modified my career back into my passion. As a licensed Naturopathic doctor, I decided to combine my passion for natural health care and dogs and became certified in Natural Animal Health Care. I am certified in Companion Animal First Aid, have participated in numerous different approaches with dog training - my focus being Canine Behaviourist techniques, and am certified in Natural Animal Nutrition. I have owned dogs for over 20 years and they have been among my best friends. I have fostered dogs for 7 years, mostly overseas rescues, so am familiar with challenging canine behaviours. Myself and my family have always welcomed these dogs into our home and treated them as our own family members, and look forward for doing that for your dog as well. I currently practice part time and from my home based office, so I have lots of time to dedicate to making sure your pet has all the attention they may need, with lots of outside breaks, family engagement and regular daily walks. I have a fully fenced yard and 2 well socialized dogs. I do have clients in my home and 2 other dogs, so crate trained (or well-mannered dogs with people) are preferred. I largely work from home, so can provide your pet with lots of companionship. We have 2 children, so have a lively household, but a household that is well versed in respecting dog body language and pack rules.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs for the past 8 years, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I started dog sitting for friends and family in high school and still regularly look after dogs today. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I make sure they get plenty of attention and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is to make sure you can leave knowing your dog is in good hands and getting the same care and attention they’re used to at home. I work as a teacher during the week, so I’m typically available after 4:00 PM Monday through Thursday and after 4:30 PM on Fridays. I’m home most Friday nights and usually have plenty of availability on weekends, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, and keeping your dog company. My schedule can change from time to time, so I’ll always keep my Rover availability updated so you know when I’m free! I want every dog I care for to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fully fenced backyard with lots of space to run around, play, and get some fresh air. I also have an extra dog bed, toys, and treats available to help them settle in and enjoy their stay. When caring for a dog in their own home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I know every dog is different, so I’m always happy to adjust based on what makes them happiest and most comfortable.
About: As a pet lover your fur-baby family member is well cared for, so my aim is to provide the same care for your best friend/s. I communicate well with my animal listening and whisperering skills. Neighbours and friends count on me to ensure reliable, secure, worry-free care. We can chat before about your expectations, issues and also about the successes. I’m happy to text you a photo of your well cared for fur-baby! Worry-free care: 1. Adherence to your rules 2. Following your preferences 3. Clear communication 4. Safety is of utmost importance = Teamwork makes the dream work!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tapleytown
Just 1 word… Amazing! Jodi and Jen are amazing. I’m so glad we found them in Rover. while we were away, Jodi sent daily updates and pictures which helped put us at ease and remove guilt for leaving them. We know that Our kids were very well cared for and their Routines were maintained. We returned from vacation to a super tidy home and happy healthy kids who hardly missed us. a big big thank you to Jodi & Jen for the work that they do.
Rachel’s first visit with Boomer was great. She played with Boomer and kept me up to date with texts and pictures and was very responsive. She gave a visit report at the end of her stay and she made me feel comfortable that Boomer was taken care of. Boomer is already looking forward to her next visit!

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 Tapleytown 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 Tapleytown 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 Tapleytown 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.
