“This was my first time using a Rover sitter for my boys, and Arlene was absolutely amazing. My cat Tybalt never goes to anyone he doesn’t know, yet he was in her lap right away. I couldn’t believe it! Arlene went above and beyond my expectations. She was extremely communicative, left our home in perfect order, and sent wonderful photos of my precious boys. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Anna was so quick to communicate and came for a meet. She took great care of my cats and sent great pics:) This was my first Rover experience so I’m very pleased. Everything was smooth and easy👍”
“Ramiyah is very friendly and put my anxious dog at easy fairly quickly. I felt very confident leaving her to care for my wee 9-year-old sheltie, Athena. Also, I appreciated her text updates and photos. I will definitely book again with her!”
About: I have loved animals since I remember I grew up with dogs and cats. My old dog Brandy was diabetic since moving out. I have had five cats two which are only one years old right now so I am a crazy orange cat mom. I am currently working full time but have evening and weekends available to give your pets some love and care when you are not around! I have a backyard fenced in. I have a large basement open concept for any pets that need their space and I will give them all the love they need and probably a little extra.
“Faye was amazing! She did drop in visits for my 2 cats and it went so well- she updated me each visit, sent photos and provided detailed updates. I will definitely be using her again!!”
“Alexandra was amazing with our two cats. One bonded with her right away, which almost never happens, and she was wonderfully patient with the other who is more shy. She shared thoughtful notes, detailed updates, and great photos throughout. We couldn’t be happier with her care and would be thrilled to book her again. Highly recommend!”
“When you meet Denell, you can see she’s an animal lover and pets love her too. She took very good care of our two cats for the week we needed her. She was attentive to them, communicated with me through the week, and also shared photos. I highly recommend her and we will be calling on Denell again.”

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: Growing up with cats, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals from a young age. Over the years, I've provided care for a variety of pets, especially cats and dogs, giving me a wealth of experience in handling different breeds and temperaments. In addition to taking care of my own pets, I’ve frequently pet-sat for family and friends, ensuring their dogs received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while they were away. Whether it's playtime, walks, or simply cuddling up, I’m dedicated to making pets feel safe and loved in my care. Available for pet care during evenings and weekends! I work 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays but am flexible for morning or midday check-ins. When pet sitting in a client's home, my approach is centered on providing a comfortable and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners. Here’s how I manage it: 1) Familiarization with the Home: Before starting, I visit the client's home to understand the layout, locate essential supplies (like food, medications, and toys), and learn about any specific care routines or preferences. 2) Routine Maintenance: I stick to the pets' established routines, including feeding times, exercise schedules, and any specific care instructions. Consistency helps keep pets comfortable and reduces their stress. 3) Regular Updates: I provide frequent updates to the owner, including photos and notes about the pet’s well-being, to keep them informed and reassured.
About: I grew up with cats, large dogs, fish, frogs and a bunny, which has set me up to be a lifelong animal lover. As your pet sitter I will strive to make their comfort and happiness my priority. I've watched cats. I've watched small, medium, and large dogs, young and old. Excellent listeners with routines, but also free spirits. I'm happy to take you, or your pet's, lead when it comes to their care so we can all be sure it's best for them. I’m looking to grow my pet sitting portfolio, so I currently have full time availability. Just send me a message and I’m available to come check on your pet anytime. Having watched dogs in the past I'm very happy following your routine. Such as feeding times, if they're crate trained, when treats are given. It's these types of routines that help to build trust which grows into mutual respect. Which, in my opinion, is equally important to the attention and fun side of pet care. :)
“Kari is absolutely fantastic! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to care for your pet dog. I have a senior dog of 14 years who moves very slowly and Kari is so patient and caring with him. We are so grateful for the care she extends to our dog.”
About: I've taken care of many dogs over the past 15 years, my dad fostered dogs when I was in high school so I've been around a lot of different temperaments. I've also raised my own dog from a puppy so I'm familiar with training practices and have experience with a range of ages. I have a lot of free time during the week which allows me plenty of time to spend spoiling your pets with food and attention! I am always caring and patient with any new animal I encounter, giving them time to adjust and being gentle with them until they are comfortable. I understand animals body language and know when to give space when it's needed.

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'.

About: I am currently a practicing vet tech who has an abundance of experience taking care of pets! I have been watching friends and families pets since I can remember including cats, dogs, and farm animals! I have worked various jobs in pet sitting/boarding and walking:) I am in my final year of the Vet Tech program so I am decently busy during the week but am flexible when it comes to setting up appointments and meeting customers needs:) I do nothing but make sure your pet gets the best care and attention possible! I want them to be as comfortable as possible especially with a new person coming into their home! Treats are always a great ice breaker as well as letting them take their time to adjust to me:)
About: I spent 12 years caring for my family cat and learned how to keep pets safe, calm, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to excellent care. I work full‑time, but I’m available for pet care from Thursday to Saturday and can accept same‑day bookings. On Wednesdays, I’m available after 6 PM. If voluntary time off is available at 3 PM, I can leave work then and arrive shortly after if a client needs care on Wednesday. My dad is allergic, so dogs can’t enter my home. I provide outdoor care with full supervision, using my fenced backyard and dog‑friendly indoor break spots.
“Shenley was amazing with my senior cats! One of my cats requires medicine and extra care, and Shenley made sure to provide all of that and more. I can tell they enjoyed their time with her too!”
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton's Corners
Yogita and Dibakar looked after our cat Mittens while we were away, and I am so pleased with the service received. They came by every evening, spent half an hour with her and sent us a little daily report with photos which we thought was great... my daughter loved seeing photos of Mittens while we were on vacation. We didn't worry at all during our trip and Im very grateful for a job well done - I will definitely be reaching out to Yogita and Dibakar again. 😊
I had a wonderful experience with Samantha taking care of my cats while I was on vacation in Italy. She is very kind and reliable. I looked forward to seeing the pictures she sent every day while I was away along with updates and comments about how the cats were doing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
It’s always a bit scary to leave our pets with someone new….. but! Zehra quickly became a friend for our two cats, Thelma and Louise. I’m not sure who loved her more - them or me 💕. Zehra took great care of our pets and sent lots of pics and updates to make us feel comfortable. Thank you Zehra. We hope to see you again.
Elizabeth was amazing. Lexi took to her immediately. It was so nice to have the reports and photos from each visit. It gave us peace of mind and we are able to enjoy our holiday with no worry. Elizabeth spent time with Lexi and was very caring. I actually think Lexi misses all the attention Elizabeth gave her. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone. She is amazing with animals. Her love for animals is so genuine that it actually radiates. We loved her
I've had a good number of cat sitters over the years, and Katie stands out among them. She is experienced, friendly, and clearly does the job out of love for the cats. Even though sitters are only expected to stay half an hour, Katie regularly stayed with the cats longer than that. She also did a great job handling the complex medical needs of our Sadie, which not every sitter is up for!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Thornton's Corners 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.

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.
