“She was amazing and helped with everything I needed. Took lots of pictures of my cats too and even offered to clean up their litter a bit!! I will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to any prospective clients!!”
About: I have been working with dogs for over 30 years. I am a CAPDT member and certified dog trainer since 2005. I am currently district area trainer (I train and mentor new dog trainers in addition to having my own clients) and therapy dog trainer. I have trained thousands of dogs from puppies to service dogs. I have raised and fostered dozens of dogs of my own and have decades of experience with all different types of behaviours. I can offer flexible scheduling for dog walking and drop in services for any pet. Spots available 7 days a week. Training services are also available in a fun and safe environment. I can feed/water your pet and crate them if needed. I am a purely positive reinforcement trainer and will use no aversive techniques for your pet.
“I recently had Catherine drop in on my 8 year old tabby cat for a week, she did a wonderful job, I will be using her services in the future. If you are looking for an attentive good sitter I recommend her. Thank You for your service”
“Emma took care of our two short hair tabby cats as drop-in visits for 8 days. She was very patient with them and they became friendly with her fairly quickly. I would rebook her again.”
About: I have been a pet owner for over 25 years. Through the years I have fostered, rescued and dog sat many furry friends. I have taken many training courses, worked with local experts and I'm constantly studying the best behaviourists in pet care. I have cared for many seniors with aging issues and my current furry kid is a special needs dog (mostly blind, missing one eye). I have recently become a Certified Canine Massage Therapist and practice regularly. I am also a Canine first Aid instructor (and people CPR instructor), so your fur baby is in great hands! My current services are drop-in and dog walking. I invite and embrace all types of dogs! If you feel your dog is "hard to walk" - let me bring the calm, assertive energy and provide them a fun, athletic experience to get the goofy out! If you have a dog that sees walks as a sniffari - let's do it! I believe in bringing calm guidance, at the same time making sure the dog's "cup is full" by the end of the walk. For visits - I will provide enrichment games and even a little massage if your dog wishes. I bring good, calm energy to your dog, and in turn when I leave he feels happy, healthy and fulfilled in his own doggy energy. I work full time, but I work from home 3 days a week. This allows me to take regularly scheduled breaks for heading outside for a quick walk, play or interaction. My weekend availability is slightly less than weekday, but if the schedule fits I'm happy to assist! I'll keep my calendar updated. I do have some week days blocked off - but if you need early morning visits or evening visits on these days, shoot me a message, I may still be able to help! My fur girl loves to play and discover new dogs (as long as your dog does not have an aggressive nature), and my boy dog just does his own thing. We have a fully fenced in back yard (6ft fence). That's great for those that could be jumpers! Lots of access to local parks and I LOVE walking - I walk all the time and would love to bring a doggo along with me for lots of exercise. Your dog would have full range of my house and we invite doggos up on the furniture for cuddle time (or respect your wishes for keeping them in your routine of staying off furniture) - lots of comfy dog beds in most rooms! If I'm doing a visit to your house - it's all about dog enrichment, care and providing what the dog needs to feel busy and fulfilled. I'm also qualified to provide a quick massage and i'd be happy to provide that to your pooch as part of your service fee. I just love knowing that a dog is left happy and healthy!
“Abbey was great! She came to do a meet and greet right away before we booked. Communication was flawless and she took such good care of my babies! Will definitely rebook with her again!”
About: I work as a behaviour therapist. I am attention to details and will take good care of your fur babies. No chocolate/ xylitol/ painkillers will be brought to your house. I work 20 hours a week as a therapist, please contact me for more details as there might be change in my schedule (sometimes my clients cancel and I can stay home 😉) Safety is always my main concern. I would do a thorough check on your pets see if there’re any abnormalities. It’s tick season, I know how terrifying that could be!
About: I have not only taken care of my own dogs since i was a child but I have also taken care of family and friends dogs for many years. Dogs are special and have my heart. I am currently not working and have the time to spend with your fur babies so they have some company when waiting for you to come home I will be happy to come to your home where you're fur babies feel safe and let them out to use the bathroom and spend a little time with them and make sure they're having a good day
“My puppy Bella has recurring visits with Russell and we both love it. I love the Rover Report Card with all the details and pictures. It is like I am there! Bella seems to enjoy her break times with Russell. He accomodates last minute instructions and is very attentive to her!!!”
“I appreciate Erinne's reliability, especially considering this was my first time using Rover to find someone to care for my cat. Erinne consistently visited my home every other day to feed, water, and spend time with my cat. She also provided photos from each visit, along with observations about how my cat was doing. Erinne proved to be a responsible caregiver, and I felt completely at ease while travelling overseas, knowing my pet was in capable hands. I highly recommend Erinne and plan to book her again.”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life in all shapes and sizes and for the past 5 years I have cared for and trained my own Golden Retriever named Archie. I have dog sat for family/friends on a regular basis. I am fully aware of how important a dogs routine can be to their behavior and well being and plan my days around the routine me and my dog have developed but I am looking to add more dogs into that routine. Having a larger breed dog myself, I know what to expect and how to handle them whether its on the leash or in the house. Pet Care fits into my daily routine as I am currently working part time, leaving me with plenty of time to meet your dogs daily needs and really get to know them and build that rapport to where they're excited to see me all the time! I care for pets to the best of my ability with whatever they need to make them feel comfortable and fulfilled with their daily routine. I want the dogs to feel as comfortable as possible to keep happiness levels as high as possible. In my experience a well exercised tired dog is a happy dog and that what I hope to bring to the table for any dogs that cross my path on Rover.
About: I rescued my first cat when I was 10 years old, and I’ve taken care of cats ever since. I currently have 3 kitties that are 13, 8, and 3 years old. My sister also has a 6 year old Australian Shepherd who I have helped care for since he was a puppy. We have been on many hike adventures, had too many slumber parties to count, and I’ve even picked him up and cared for him post surgery. I am an animal lover, kind person, and can follow instruction. I genuinely care about animals and have deep respect for the bond one has with their beloved pet. I’m currently working part time, usually in the mornings. I can check in on your animals any day , but can only accept a pet visit that fits around my work schedule. I will try my best to match with the schedule you are looking for. I will follow all instruction I am given to care for your pet in your home and will lead with respect, attention to detail, and the upmost care.
About: Experienced pet owner and animal lover. Experience with small and large dogs, puppies and senior dogs. Ready to give your dog a friendly visit, extra steps, and extra love when you are busy living life! I’m available evenings and weekends to take your dog on a local adventure and get their steps in! Happy to schedule regular visits with your furry friends. I can visit your home to care for your pet while you are away, perfect for longer days away from home when your pet might need some extra attention!
About: I've owned a variety of pets over the past 30+ years: cats, dogs, even an iguana! My friends have left their pets with me while they vacation and know I can be counted on to care for them as if they were my own. I understand the need for exercise, enrichment and cleanliness. I'm a retiree who misses owning a pet and can be trusted to care for your pet(s) as if they were my own. I have reliable transportation (truck) and am willing to travel anywhere in the Clarington/Oshawa/Whitby areas. I will ensure your pet has everything they need while in my care: water, food, medications, playtime, cuddles, and exercise. For cats, I'll ensure their litter box is clean. For dogs, I'll clean up after they 'do their business'.
“Carolyne has been so diligent and caring of our 11 year old cat Texas. Daily up dates and pictures helped me feel confident that Texas was well and in good hands during our absence. I will definitely use Carolyne’s services again when the need arises. Thank you, Carolyne.”
About: Lots of experience caring for my own dogs and cats and am the go-to pet sitter for all of my family and friends. I have experience caring for senior pets, anxious pets and pets who require medication. I'm currently working shift work so I have a relatively flexible schedule. I'd be happy to work with you to ensure we can find a time that works best for you and your pet. I have a fenced in yard with grass for your pup to play in. I have one cat of my own so ideally dogs would have prior positive experiences around cats.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for about 10 years now, small and large breeds of all ages and there is nothing I love more! No dog is too big! I have 2 large breed dogs of my own so I am comfortable with different types of collars and training methods as well! Looking forward to walking, playing and hanging out with your pups! I’m currently a stay at home so I can be available anytime during the weekdays for your furbaby! 8am - 5pm but can be flexible if needed! Safety is the most important part when it comes to letting someone else walk or hangout with your pet and I can assure you that I will keep it my top priority!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Taunton
Ezgi was perfect sitter for our cat. She took care of everything and we did not have to worry about a thing when we were away. Our cat loved her and is so energetic after we saw her after about a week, which shows that she had a good time with Ezgi. We for sure will ask her to take care of cat when we are away.

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 Taunton 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.
