“Tatiana was wonderful! She was flexible, responsive and friendly! We also appreciated that she sent updates throughtout the visit We will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Tugce, and animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, and that’s where my lifelong love for them began. I’m completely obsessed with cats—they truly have a special place in my heart. If animals could talk, I’d probably spend more time talking to them than people! Their personalities, little habits, and unconditional love always make me smile. Playing with dogs is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy every moment. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time to give your furry family member the attention, supervision, and companionship they deserve. They will never be left alone for long periods and will always have someone nearby. Every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. My goal is to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Please note that, due to the size of my home, I currently offer cat boarding only. I want every pet to have enough space to feel comfortable, so I don’t board dogs in my home. However, I’m always happy to provide house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for dogs in their own familiar environment. I’m also available for same-day and last-minute bookings whenever my schedule allows. I absolutely love taking photos, so you can expect lots of picture and video updates throughout the day. I know how reassuring it is to see your furry friend happy, relaxed, and having fun while you’re away. I’m more of a night owl, so late-evening and overnight care are never a problem for me. Since I work remotely, I have a very flexible schedule and I’m usually available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I truly believe pets are family. I will care for your furry friend as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, love, and respect. My goal is to give both you and your pet complete peace of mind while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pets. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, going for walks, or simply keeping them company, I love being around animals and making them feel happy, safe, and loved. ❤️🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. From my experience, every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and preferences. That’s why I take the time to observe and understand each animal so I can provide care that suits their individual needs. I believe paying attention to a pet’s behavior is important, and I always adjust my approach based on their personality and comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they can feel relaxed and happy. I enjoy keeping pets engaged with playtime, enrichment activities, and companionship while respecting their boundaries and routines. I also understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet, so I am happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication to give you peace of mind. I genuinely love caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, with the same level of patience, attention, and affection. ❤️🐾
“Jessica provided exceptional care for my dog Parker! She was attentive, loving, and ensured Parker had everything he needed. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Sophie is the best sitter we have had! She is reliable, punctual, knowledgeable, professional as well as passionate about animals. She provided absolutely fantastic care for my 2 dogs. Though one is reactive dog and needs cautious attention on walks, she did amazing job on walking my dog and the video showed how happy she was with her on walk, which made me really surprised! On heavy rainy day, Sophie entertained them with a variety of indoor activities. Each update including photos and videos showed how happy my dogs were with Sophie and felt comfortable and relaxed. She followed instructions precisely but more than that she gave them extended care like cooking handmade chicken toppings which was perfectly similar to mine! They loved Sophie’s toppings very much ! I was very impressed with her thoughtfulness and kindness to take care of my dogs. The house has absolutely been well taken care of. She left home spotless, even windows! After long trips, we immediately felt happy with clean house too. I am pretty sure that I would like to work with her in the future too! I cannot recommend her enough ☺️She is the best!”
About: I’ve looked after my Yorkie-Poo for 14 years and I absolutely love animals! I will make sure to take great care of your beloved pet, guaranteed! I have a pretty open schedule, currently looking for work which makes me a perfect candidate for walking or sitting for your pet! I am very flexible and willing to meet your schedule and needs regarding your best friend(s) :) I am unable to host dogs in my own home but would be able to care for your dog as needed in your home. I’m very respectful of your requests and house rules, what you say goes!
“We love having Elizabeth come sit for Rocky. She's very helpful, occasionally providing us with useful tips on products or accessories to help with allergies or better general health. Also, noticing behavior tendencies that we haven't picked up on yet. All so helpful for a young pup!”
“Nicole was amazing taking great care of Haru. Very responsive, and kept me updated how things were going. I could tell Haru had a great time. Will definitely book Nicole for a next time.”
About: I have been lucky to enjoy 10+ years of experience looking after dogs (and cats) of different breeds and sizes. I currently work a hybrid remote job, where my office days are Mondays and Tuesdays, please keep in mind on those days I will be away from home for 6-8 hours. Pets are free to roam my entire apartment and have access to all rooms and furniture unless otherwise instructed. I live in a secure condo, with a beautiful area downstairs for walking pups, and a bathtub I'm happy to share for post-adventure clean ups. Pet care is of the utmost importance to me, I prioritize physical and mental stimulation and I am dedicated to ensure your pet is both safe and happy during their stay. I also only accept 1-2 dogs per booking a day, so they will never feel any lack of attention. I treat all pets as if they were my own, with care, protection and respect. I yap to them regularly and truly get myself good and attached, I miss them so much when they leave! I have lots of space in my condo and pets are allowed on all of my furniture as their comfort is very important to me.
“Ashley has looked after our dog Goose a few times, she’s communicative, kind and friendly. She takes great care of Goose and he enjoys having her round. We’d have her back again to help us with Goose”
About: Growing up with dogs since age 12 gave me a foundation in canine behavior and care. I've developed my skills by regularly walking, feeding, and bathing friends' dogs, including Labs, Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and Border Collies. My athletic background makes me uniquely suited for high-energy breeds. I've successfully worked with reactive dogs who need focused, one-on-one attention during walks. My running ability allows me to provide the intensive exercise these dogs need when off-leash time isn't suitable. Recently certified in Pet First Aid through Canadian Red Cross (July 2025). I also share my home with two cats (ages 2.5 and 1.5), so I'm comfortable with multi-pet households. I understand that energetic breeds need both physical exhaustion and mental stimulation to be truly satisfied, and I incorporate both into every walk. As an incoming grad student with a flexible timetable, I'm building my pet care business around my academic schedule. Currently available weekday afternoons from 3 PM onwards, with excellent availability through August. Once the fall semester begins, I'll maintain afternoon availability and may add morning slots depending on my class schedule. I'm committed to maintaining regular walking schedules with my clients and will provide advance notice of any schedule changes. Pet care fits perfectly with my lifestyle as an active person who needs daily exercise myself. Walking dogs isn't just a job for me, it's part of my daily fitness routine, which means your dog gets an enthusiastic, energetic walker every single time I focus exclusively on professional dog walking services to ensure each dog receives my full attention and the best possible care. During walks, I: - Keep dogs securely leashed unless in designated off-leash areas (with owner permission) - Carry Pet First Aid supplies and fresh water - Avoid busy roads when possible, preferring quieter residential streets and trails - Never walk more dogs than I can safely control - Send photo updates so you can see your pup having fun I maintain constant vigilance for potential hazards like aggressive dogs, traffic, or items dogs might ingest. With my Pet First Aid certification, I'm prepared to handle emergencies while immediately contacting both the owner and nearest vet if needed. My athletic ability ensures I can maintain control even with strong, excitable dogs, keeping your pet safe throughout our time together.
About: I’ve had a beautiful Irish setter back in Israel for 9 years and ran kids animal shows for 2 years. I love animals and I truly love both cats and dogs! I currently work gig and part time and taking care of a pet is a great way to have a rewarding and fun job while being able to progress on my career goals I’m a very careful and attentive person. When taking care of your friend, kid, or loved one I’ll make sure that they feel just as if you’re still home with them!
“It was a pleasure to meet Hedi. We knew we could leave Harley in her care with no worries. Hedi's first update was that Harley had fallen asleep and slept on her lap for two hours soon after we'd left. Harley obviously knew she was in safe hands. I've added her photos to Harley's album.”
“Vania came to help me out on short notice. She was very calm with my sometimes high strung large bernedoodle and did a great job looking after the house as well. She followed my directions, but managed a lot on her own with good judgement and left the house very clean and tidy. Would certainly recommend.”
“Thank you Jennifer. First time user Rover. Jennifer was punctual and made us feel at ease leaving our senior dog cared for. We will be working with Jennifer many more days.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend Aliah! Aliah took care of my dog Luna for 10 days, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything went. This was the first time I’d ever left Luna with someone I didn’t know, so I was a bit nervous — but Aliah made the whole experience easy. I asked her to come a day early so she could meet Luna and get settled in before I left, and it made all the difference. Luna took to her right away, which I think comes down to how calm and soft-spoken Aliah is — dogs pick up on that kind of energy. Luna stayed relaxed and content the entire time I was gone. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. I’ll definitely be booking Aliah again and recommend her without hesitation!”
About: I treat every pet like family and provide safe, loving, and reliable care. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and oral medications if needed. Whether caring for puppies, senior pets, or energetic dogs, my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Pet care fits well into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate weekday, evening, and weekend bookings whenever possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your care instructions, keep pets in a clean and secure environment, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I respect your home, maintain your pet's routine, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vaughan
🐾Highly recommended! 🐾 Liny took wonderful care of our cat, Shadow, and our home while we were away. She provided daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind and allowed us to see how well Shadow was doing. Shadow was happy, relaxed, and completely settled when we returned. In fact, he acted as though we had never left, which speaks volumes about the care and attention he received. Liny also kept our home tidy and well maintained throughout her stay. We were looking for someone who would care for our home responsibly, and she exceeded our expectations. We found Liny to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We would happily have her pet sit for us 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.
Tatiana was amazing! She watched our very anxious dog for eight days and was exceptional. She was patient in letting our nervous pup get to know her over the first day or two and never pushed past her comfort zone. She sent constant updates with photos and videos, and they went on many beautiful walks and hikes. At the end of the eight days they were well bonded and we came home to a very happy dog! I would definitely rebook Tatiana in the future.
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.
It was good to finally connect with Crystal. We felt she really took a liking to Harley when we met over the summer, and Harley seemed quite comfortable with her. Harley is 17 and blind. She may not see you, but she sure seems to know when she's safe. When we briefed Crystal this morning, Harley was right there at her feet (perhaps just waiting for us to leave?). When we finally did leave, Harley was lounging on Crystal's lap. They had a busy day, including a walk to one of our regular spots, a few naps and she was comfortable enough to go about her usual business of exploring. I don't know if we were missed or not. Thank you, Crystal, for your patience and calmness watching our girl.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Vaughan on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,993 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vaughan. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
