About: Confident leash handler. Experienced with rescues, bully breeds, as well as reactive and senior dogs. Red Cross Pet CPR certified. I'm a big guy and LOVE big dogs (and little ones, too!) I am self employed and can be very flexible with when I'm available. I specialize in last minute bookings Let's book a meet and greet! Can't wait to meet your furry family member. I am self employed with a very flexible schedule. Last minute house sitting stays are my specialty. I typically prefer minimum 2-3 day bookings for locations that are over 50km away from me but if you're curious just shoot me a message and we can see what works. I am a confident and physically strong leash handler. Recognizing dog body language (particularly with excitable or reactive dogs) and being proactive is key (Dogs, like us, don't need to say hi to everyone that crosses their paths). Red Cross Pet CPR certified. I am happy to administer any medications they may need while you are gone.
“We had a great experience with Tara and Mike. They made our dog feel right at home and were so inclusive with both our dog and theirs . They are all such kind loving dogs. They also had the freedom to roam the house, and could sleep wherever they were comfortable. We received updates throughout the stay, and it was clear our pup was happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Yasemine and Daniel are fantastic! They took the time to learn about my dog and all of her particular needs. They sent lots of updates. I did not have to worry about her at all while we were away. Zaffy had a great time and I would highly recommend them!”
“Heather and Pieter were the best with Arya! She had such a good time at their home. She played with their son and received lots of cuddles. We would definitely ask them to take care of Arya anytime in the future. Heather and Pieter are such nice people and I can tell they love dogs and take really good care of them!”
“Jennifer was amazing! I think my dog Tuna went on 5-6 walks on her overnight stay! Jennifer was very communicative and accommodating to my baby tunas needs. She was able to apply a medicated cream on my girl for an ongoing medical condition and was very thorough! I really enjoyed talking to Jennifer and so pleased with her taking care of my baby Tuna! Will definitely book with her again! Thank you so much! 10/10”
“Angela and her family took great care of Neko! It was clear they made him feel at home and I was very comfortable leaving him in her care. I definitely recommend Angela to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment to leave their fur baby!”
“Nigel and his family took such great care of my Gigi! She had so much fun playing with their dog, Ozzy, and it was wonderful knowing she was in such loving hands. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Kelley is super friendly and took care of our dog’s needs and went above and beyond. She was quite flexible with the pick up and drop off times alleviating any stress for us. Our dog came home after we picked him up from her and he passed out from all the playing he did! She even showered him and handed us a bag of treats that her dogs have because she felt that our dog liked them and she refused to take money for it! Highly recommend her! We are really pleased with her service.”
“Rachel was a fantastic sitter and tuned into all of Puddle’s needs; belly rubs, being squished, burrowing under pillows and snuggling up at night. Would definitely use her again.”
“Maria José and Oscar did an amazing job taking care of Bailey! They kept me updated the whole time with photos and videos, and it was clear that Bailey was having a great time. I felt very comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them! ❤️”
“Dharaben was super accommodating and patient with my anxious pup! I received frequent communication with lots of picture and updates. Will absolutely be booking with Dharaben again!”
“Jayna was fabulous with our dogs and one of them is definitely a handful - full of puppy energy and a lot of bounce! 🤣 We’d highly recommend her and will definitely bring the boys back to her (when the little one’s energy balances out a bit!)”
“I left my seven month old golden retriever puppy with Mathieu and Esther (and Marlow!) over the weekend. They took excellent care of her! Puppies are a handful, and they went over and above. My dog got special instructions after being spayed, and they were super accommodating. I highly recommend them!”
“Matthew took amazing care of my two boys, Gus and Jaq! He sent frequent pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while they were in his care. My two frenchies clearly had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were safe and well looked after. I would absolutely recommend Matthew and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!”
“Misha and Boston stayed with Linda for 4 days, during that time Linda sent us pictures and updates on doggos' activities and well being, several times a day, which reassured us of their wellbeing and that they are taken cared of. We also noticed that both dogs were calm during the pick up, and didn't have any anxiety when we arrived home - which, again, reassured us that they were very well taken care of. When we got home, we were so touched to find a jar of homemade, all-natural cookies that Linda had tucked into our bag. Such kindness — we’ve definitely found our trusted sitter for future bookings! Thank you Linda! We will be back :)”
“Courtney took excellent care of our golden retriever puppy Luna! She sent pictures and/or videos every day which was great :) This was the first time we were away from Luna since we brought her home 6 months ago, so it was reassuring to know Luna was being treated like one of Courtney’s own pets Luna bonded quickly with Courtney, even falling asleep on her feet, a moment shared with us by photo <3 Luna really enjoyed herself on Courtney’s farm Thank you Courtney, you did a wonderful job, we will be booking with you again the next time we travel!”
About: We have both owned and taken care of pups our whole lives. We have a mini-doodle that will become your pups best friend during their entire stay here. I work from home with a very flexible schedule which offers a great environment for your pup. I am home all day so your pup will never feel alone. I have a fenced yard with a park behind my home. We will do minimum two walks a day and on sunny days I will work outside while your dog spends some quality time in the sun.
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember — I grew up with two or more dogs in our family from the time I was a baby, so having dogs around has always felt like home to me! I currently have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is very much part of our family. My children have grown up alongside him, so they’re used to having a dog as part of their everyday life and understand that dogs deserve kindness, respect and plenty of love. My former pup was part of our family for many years and, later in life, needed extra care while living with diabetes, Cushing’s disease and seizures. That experience taught me just how important patience, consistency and paying close attention to a dog’s individual needs can be. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from little ones to big dogs, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s quirks and routine. As a mum, I’m naturally nurturing and attentive, and I truly believe dogs are so much more than just pets — they’re part of the family. They deserve to feel loved, safe and included, and that’s exactly how I would treat your pup while they’re with us. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible work-from-home job, along with some community work, which means I’m able to work my schedule around the needs of the dogs in my care. I have flexibility throughout the day and can usually accommodate different routines, walks, drop-ins and stays with some advance notice. I’m home often and love having a pup around to keep me company! 🐾❤️ Shoot me a message and I'm sure we can work something out My home is a loving, family environment where dogs are welcomed as part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where pups can safely enjoy outdoor time, and i currently have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is very used to having other dogs around. I also have a finished basement that can provide a quiet, comfortable space away from the kids and our dog if your pup prefers some alone time, needs a break, or simply likes having a calm place to relax. For boarding stays, I’m also happy to sleep in our guest room with your dog if they’re more comfortable having someone nearby overnight. Safety and trust are really important to me. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, comfort level and any special needs before their stay. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and settled. I work from home, so I’m home often and dogs aren’t left alone for long periods of time. Our children are comfortable and respectful around dogs, and I’m always mindful of making sure every pup has the space they need. Most importantly, I want every dog staying with us to feel safe, loved and genuinely part of the family — whether that means playing in the yard, cuddling on the couch, or having a quiet night downstairs with me. 🐾❤️

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.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Varency home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Varency
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
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.
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.
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.
