“Arjun did a great job dropping in to play and look after Ruby Sue! He took our last minute request and even squeezed in a meet and greet, listening to all our instructions and suggestions attentively, which put us at ease. Ruby can be an anxious girl and selective with strangers, and she warmed up to Arjun right away. She can also be high energy and he knew exactly how to manage her energy levels and provide the right level of attention and care- the updates and pictures during the drop in were appreciated! We would be happy to use his services again.”

About: As someone who has previously owned dogs myself, I understand that dogs are part of the family and deserve lots of love, patience, and attention. I recently gained hands-on experience working as a dog walker and loved getting to know each dog's unique personality. I learned proper leash handling, how to read dogs behaviour, be aware of surroundings, and how to follow routines. I am caring, dependable, and happy to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and enjoys their time with me. My goal is to make every walk a positive experience and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their dogs are being cared for. I have a flexible schedule that can allow me to prioritize your pet's needs throughout the day. I can accommodate midday playtime or walks, potty breaks, or feeding schedules. When caring for pet's in your home, I will strictly follow house rules, ensure all doors and gates are locked, and maintain your pet's exact daily routine to help keep them stress-free.I will respect your space and prioritize your pet's safety.
“So thankful to have had Marisa to check in on my girl while we were out for the evening. She was engaging and made sure Millie got some exercise during her visits. Will happily look for Marisa next time we need someone to look after our dog!”
“Teresa took on my Persian cats with an open heart and they were so comfortable around her. She is so great with animals and takes the time to allow them to warm up. Both my cats need pills and she took on the high maintenance kitties with pleasure! And took time to play with them! This took so much stress and worry off my shoulders. We are so thankful to Teresa! And will be booking her again!”
“Sheila has become our regular for twice daily drop-in/walk and it could not be going better. We've hired many Rover people over the years and Sheila is one of the best we've ever had.”
“Nick came to our rescue on super short notice after I injured my foot and my partner was out of town, accepting our request within 30 minutes to start the very next day over a long holiday weekend. He and Murphy, our doggo, bonded right away. It didn't take long for Murphy to figure out what it meant whenever Nick arrived! He went above and beyond by taking her to the local dog park for extra socialization. Highly recommend Nick for anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog walker!”

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: Taking care of dogs is a passion for me. I have been a huge animal lover all my life and consider my fur babies more then just pets. They are family and get treated as such!

They are well trained and their good behavior has even helped little puppies and other dogs learn good behavior just by their presence. Services included for home visits - Fresh food/ water -Waste clean up -Any necessary medications given -Play/Exercise time -Love and attention -Text/ Email updates as requested. Other perks: While your dogs are with me, I will be happy to teach tricks/commands if you like at no extra charge. If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask. I’m available on the weekends.

“This was my first experience using Rover and Danielle made it the best possible ! She is an incredibly sweet and kind animal lover who made sure Emmie & Greycy had lots of attention during her visits. I really loved that she sent me a short message and picture while I was away to let me know everything was ok. She is 100% reliable and dependable. I won't hesitate to ask her to look after my girls again and know that I can go away without stressing about their care.”
About: Hi! We’re Michelle and Ken, and we care for dogs together as a team. With opposite work schedules, there’s almost always someone home to keep your pup company and give them the attention they deserve. We both grew up with dogs and genuinely love caring for them. We treat every pup like our own and take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, we know how hard it can be to leave your furry baby behind! 🐾❤️ Every dog is different, so tell us about your pup! We’d love to hear about their personality, routine, and all their little quirks. My day-to-day routine allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. Mornings start calmly, making space for walks, feeding, and playtime before the day gets busy. Throughout the day, we ensure pets feel comfortable and included. Evenings are a time to wind down with another walk, dinner, and cozy relaxation so they feel settled and at home. We live in a house and your pets will mostly be in the upper part of house! There’s also a cute little backyard followed by a long driveway! We live with a roomie, who loves dogs as much as we do; he is not involved in the sitting just the playing and petting!!
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: 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.
“Katrina was awesome! Great communication, sent us regular photos and updates of our cats, and was overall very professional. Our cats seemed happy and content while we were away, will happily book Katrina again in future.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tapleytown
Marisa was absolutely wonderful with our two fur babies while we were away on vacation. Thanks to her, we were completely tension free the entire time. She is incredibly kind, caring , and truly amazing with pets. Marisa has a warm, and attentive attitude, and communication with her was always easy and reassuring. We felt confident leaving our pets in her loving hands. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
