“Tatiana was wonderful. I’m very pleased with her communication throughout the day. She even sent photos. She made me feel at ease and like my pup was in great hands. I will definitely be rebooking with her.”
About: I've always had a genuine love for dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have hands-on experience dog sitting, bathing, walking, and caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I'm patient, gentle, attentive, and take pride in making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. With my flexible schedule, I can provide plenty of one-on-one attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving you peace of mind knowing your best friend is in loving hands! One of the biggest advantages I offer is my extremely flexible schedule! I work independently, which allows me to arrange my day around your pet's needs. I'm available seven days a week, including evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. Whether your pet needs extra attention, frequent check-ins, or someone to keep them company throughout the day, I can easily accommodate their routine. My flexibility means more personalized care, attention, and peace of mind for you while you're away! I live in a comfortable, spacious two-bedroom condominium with a lovely little parkette and ravine just steps away. It's a wonderful area where neighborhood dogs gather, with plenty of green space and easy access to beautiful walks. Your fur babies will have lots of opportunities for fresh air, exercise, and playtime, along with a safe, cozy, and loving environment to relax in. I want every pet to feel right at home while staying with me!
“Thank you so much for taking good care of Mickey 🙏🏽 from day 1 we noticed he really bonded with you and throughout your stay with him, you even taught him to lay down! Which is amazing and is a palpable feeling he really connected with you! Would really recommend you to all dog owners in my neighbourhood!”
“Balaji was great at looking after Zoe at our house. He kept us updated with messages and pictures and he understood the instructions well. He was also on time on the first day. I'd definitely recommend Balaji for pet care.”
“This was my first time booking Jessica to house-sit and take care of my dog while I was away on a 10-day vacation. She was incredibly professional, reliable, and clearly has a natural connection with animals—my dog absolutely loved her and even missed her after she left! I came home to a spotless house and a happy, healthy pup. I would definitely recommend Jessica!”
“I was a bit apprehensive leaving my cat Timmy for the first time after moving to Toronto. Nejla put my fears to rest. She kept Timmy very happy and provided me with tremendous comfort with lots of updates and so many pictures. She left the condo in great shape too. I highly recommend Nejla for anyone seeking a pet sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Michelle! 🐾 I absolutely love animals and honestly feel happiest around them. My family has 3 dogs, two Maltese and a Jack Russell Terrier mix, and I’ve regularly cared for different dogs and cats for friends and family. I’ve had the sweetest time getting to know each of their personalities and routines, only to sadly have to say goodbye when they went home. I live in an apartment now and definitely miss having pets around, so I’d love to give your pet some extra love, attention, and company while you’re away. 🤍 I’m in university during the week, with Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends completely open. I’m home for most of the day on my available days, so your pet can have plenty of company, attention, walks, and playtime rather than being left alone for long periods. I live alone and have a lot of space inside and walking pets out and around has never been difficult where i live. There's a pet playground right outside my building. The doggies love it.
About: My inspiration to start dog walking/boarding came after my dog (Buddy), passed away in November of 2023. Not a day goes by without thinking of him and all the memories we made. After 16.5 years, he truly left a void in my heart. I currently volunteer my time as a dog walker at a dog sanctuary, which takes in rescue and surrendered dogs. This has provided me with extensive experience with many types of breeds and their unique behaviors. I know the feeling of trying to find a reliable dog sitter and how much your dog means to you, like buddy did to me. This is why I know I can offer the ultimate peace of mind and continuity in your dog's daily routine and lifestyle. I decided to use my experience and knowledge to provide the best service and level of care to other dogs, which ultimately fulfills my purpose and passion for dogs. My Services include the following: - Administer medication: I have experience administering topagen sprays, oral medications, eye drops, ear drops, changing bandages. - Bathing: I have a full-size bathtub and use Burt’s Bees Oatmeal Shampoo (recommended by vets). You can also provide your desired shampoo. - Boarding: Your dog will feel like home away from home in my care. I will ensure a continuity of their daily lifestyle and activities. - Emergencies: I have access to 3 major animal hospitals and a trusted vet in the event your dog needs medical attention - Peace of Mind: Updates with pictures, videos and facetiming to document all the fun your dog is having. This provides owners with peace of mind when their dog is in my care. *Special note: I am a Boutique Boarder. My boutique boarding service provides owners with exclusive level of care and the peace of mind knowing that their fur baby always has the time and attention they deserve! If you require anything further, please feel free to inquire! Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to hearing from you! With a flexible work schedule, your fur baby will always be cared for at every moment of the of their stay, guaranteed continuity of their daily routine. I have a fully fenced backyard with 2 gates that are secured to ensure your fur baby can run and play safe and relieve themselves comfortably. Qualifications: - Certified PET Sitter - Currently enrolled in a dog training program (L.E.G.S.) that will enable me to train/sharpen any skills you are working on with your fur baby
About: I love all types of animals. I know how to train little puppies and I’m pretty sure I did a great job in training my own fur baby! I will make sure to keep them busy and active. I am fully experienced in administering medications for both dogs and cats. Always on top of cleaning their food and water bowl and providing fresh water and make sure they have full and easy access to food and water at all times. Fully experienced with bathing small dogs. Comfortable taking dogs for a walk. Also, my favourite activities are puppy yoga, cat yoga, goat yoga and visiting animal farms and sanctuaries. At the moment, I have a full time job. I am free after 6:00PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. I love to spend my free times with animals. Caring for pets in my house or a client’s house involves various tasks such as feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, grooming, and cleaning up after them. Additionally, offering companionship and attention to ensure their well-being and happiness is essential. It is very important to follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner regarding their routines, dietary needs, medications, and any special requirements. Regular communication with the owner about the pet’s behavior and any concerns is also important for maintaining trust and ensuring the best care possible.
About: I have had a cat for over 5 years. My family and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs for many years and I am experienced in feeding, walking, training, and taking care of them. I am free most evenings and weekends. I love to get outside and go for walks whenever I have the chance so I would welcome a furry companion to do it with. It's a win-win for both of us! I am an animal lover and do everything I can to keep animals safe. I am very observant and can pick up on cues easily which I think is helpful in keeping a pet safe and cared for.
About: I’ve been the proud dog mom of a very special cocker spaniel for the past 11 years, and thanks to her, I’ve learned how much I enjoy spending time with dogs and caring for them with love and patience. For me, dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family. I offer calm, safe, and personalized walks based on each pup’s energy and needs. I can also feed them and spend time playing if needed. I truly enjoy giving them love, attention, and a sense of comfort while their humans are away. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pup as if they were their own, I’d be happy to help. I love spending time outdoors and bonding with dogs through walks and playtime. Your pup will be in caring, responsible, and patient hands. In my free time, I enjoy dancing, reading, drinking tea, and spending peaceful moments at home with my dog. I’m a calm, loving, and committed person who truly enjoys being around animals. When walking dogs, safety is always my top priority. I carefully leash each pup before leaving the house and make sure doors and gates are secure. I tailor the walks to their energy levels and personality, avoiding busy or noisy areas to keep things calm and enjoyable. If I’m feeding your dog or visiting your home, I always respect your space and follow your instructions with care. I make sure your pup feels calm, comfortable, and loved during each visit. I treat every pet like family and work hard to build trust with both the animals and their owners.
“Another successful pet and house sitting with Mark! Stella and Ben clearly enjoy their time with Mark and are well cared for during our time away. Mark's regular "pupdates" give us peace of mind and many smiles. We are already planning our next trip with confidence. Thanks Mark! Two high energy golden retrievers can be a handful!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vaughan
This was our second booking with Liny, and she was fantastic once again. She is Shadow's favorite person... when we are away!!! Liny is reliable, caring, communicative, and treats Shadow as if he were her own. We will be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter. 🐾
Jessica, was extremely professional, reliable and trustworthy. She went above and beyond to look after my dogs in every way. I came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. She really knows how to look after dogs and her experience and passion for them shows in everything she does. She’s extremely proactive and caring and I never had to ask how my dogs are doing. Thank you Jessica, we will definitely book you again.
I'm so glad I found Ann on this website. She's a very kind and friendly girl! My dog was happy with her; she found the right approach for him. I was very pleased that she took the time to send me updates with photos. Everything went very smoothly and without stress for my dog😍🥰
We cannot say enough good things about Ruhani and Sagar. They took amazing care of our 2 year old bully/lab mix over the weekend and we were anxious to leave him but they were so reassuring, sending us plenty of updates, and keeping our baby in his routine! They took wonderful care of our home as well. They truly seem like naturals and we really felt walter missed them as soon as they left! We feel so much better about leaving him the next time we go away. For the crazy dog parents we are, they really put us at ease. Highly recommend to anyone!
Alina was wonderful and very responsible. She came and stayed with my Siamese cat and my little dog. She took great care of them and Alina sent me pics and updates everyday. This is the first time I have left my babies with anyone and she made me feel at ease. They slept with her and got attached to her very quickly. My little dog, Chichi, is a finiky eater and she made sure that he ate his food daily. She sent me pics of his food before and after he ate everyday. Alina was home with my pets everyday. She did not leave alone. I should mention that my home was full of boxes as I am moving but she worked around them. Would I ask her to watch my pets again? Absolutely...Would I recommend her to my friends and family? In a second. Again thanks Alina, you are truly amazing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Vaughan 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 Vaughan 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 Vaughan 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. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
