“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“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 is super awesome and nice to work with, and super accommodating as well. We got home an hour later and Nicole said she’s okay waiting for us, which we really appreciate it. She also provided lots of pictures and updates for us throughout the stay! Needless to say, we will be retaining her service again in the future for sure!”
“Nejla was responsive from the get go, as well as kind, thoughtful, and diligent. She cared for our cat and our home very well, leaving things in a great condition. We appreciated all she did, and all of her updates throughout her time with our pet to be able to know how she was doing!”
“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.”
About: I've never met an animal I didn't love! They're my entire life and source of joy. I've had dogs for the last 30 years, a cat for 8, and hamsters before then (so I'll watch your small pets, too!). My most recent dog was special needs, so I'm skilled with giving medications and making accommodations to keep an animal happy and comfortable. Both of my previous dogs lived to be 15, so I'm experienced with caring for seniors and giving them all the extra love and support they need in their old age. In addition to my personal pets, I've volunteered in wildlife rescue, where I cared for orphaned baby squirrels and injured rabbits, turtles, birds, and opossums. My favourite thing is petting and playing with a furry friend. I can't wait to meet yours, fall in love, and give them the same level of care you would. I'm a freelancer who works from home, so your pet will never be lonely while you're away. I'm available for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks every day in the afternoons and evenings. Every pet is different. I work with you to understand your dog's unique needs and desires. Basically, I stick to their existing routine and support their usual habits, so they feel safe and secure. For walks, your dog will always be on a leash to ensure their safety unless they are at a fenced dog park (and only if you and your doggy are comfortable with it). I believe that keeping your pet safe means open lines of communication. You'll get regular updates and photos. If any problem should occur, I'll let you know right away.
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable caring for either. Over the years, I’ve helped take care of pets for friends and family, and have a dog and cat of my own. I’m confident handling different temperaments and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Im currently working remotely which gives me time to spend a lot of time with the pets and offer long walks and potty breaks! Overall able to be present with pet. I understand how important it is to feel confident about who’s caring for your pet. I have a dog myself, so I truly know they’re more than just pets, they’re family. I have a well-socialized maltipoo myself who loves making new friends. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines or preferences to make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible.
About: Hi, I’m Ilayda! 👋 I’m a psychology graduate, a master’s degree holder, and most importantly, a lifelong animal lover. I currently share my home with two wonderful cats, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is patient, observant, and genuinely caring. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers quiet company, I’ll follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m happy to care for cats and dogs through drop-in visits, dog walks, or house sitting. I always respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently studying part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding, medication, walking, and home care instructions to keep their routine consistent. I respect every client’s home, provide regular photo updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“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.”
“Haley was amazing with my dogs. She paid great attention to detail, was extremely punctual and responsible with my 3 dogs’ needs. It can be challenging with senior dogs because they have special requirements and Hayley was great with them. She left everything even more clean than I expected and kept in touch regularly updating me on everything with my babies. It took me 3 years to have the courage to leave my dogs with someone and I’m so glad I picked Haley. She definitely set my mind at ease that my babies were looked after while I was away. I would definitely recommend her.”
“We recently had Maria dog sit for us after a family member canceled on us last minute. I had reached out to her about 2 weeks before hand asking if she could keep herself available in case this situation happened. My fur baby went to stay at her place for 9 days. She was absolutely amazing with storm kept me updated regularly and made sure I had piece of mind on my vacation. I will use her services again in the future should the need arise. She followed all directions I have her for my dogs diet requirements. The level of love and care she gave to storm was exceptional and she went over and above to make sure a time was cared for. I highly recommend her!!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since age 9. From small ones such as birds and fish to cats and dogs. I currently own a Bengal cat, but have previously owned a cocker spaniel, Doberman, and pitbull. I have also dealt with animals that have separation anxiety. I currently work for myself so I am able to create my own schedule. I currently have a lot of free time during weekdays and some evenings. I don’t offer pet stays at my place. However, if I am in your home, just let me know the house rules and we’re good to go! :)
About: have over four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising a puppy through its first year and caring for my own dog for the past three years. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, playtime, and making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and at a variety of times. I can easily plan my day around your pet’s routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and visits, to provide reliable and consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special routines. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets secure, provide fresh water, and make sure they receive lots of affection and supervision in a calm, safe environment.
“For those of who love our fur babies, leaving them behind is always a stressful affair. However, I felt very at ease leaving them with Maryna. She was very prompt for meet&greet and I knew instantly she would be the right fit. I was away for a week on a business trip and the whole time I had a peace of mind that my velcro girl Sheba and a tomboy kitty Toby are well taken care of. She truly was amazing with them. She gave them much love and compassion and made them feel very comfortable being with her. She also took care of my house as if it were her own. I am very grateful and thankful knowing that my animals were happy being in their own environment with Maryna. I would recommend her without hesitation. She’s genuinely a nice person and her love for our four legged friends is eminent. Thank you Maryna!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vaughan
During the time of my absence from home, Tatiana has been very supporting and helping with my older Labrador Lui. As this was the first time I used Rover for my dog sitting at my house, I was a little hesitant. But after we met with Tatiana I start feeling more confident. In this 17 days Tatiana demonstrated such a good care and love to my Lui. She took him out for walks accordingly to his necessities, sometimes taking 2/3 stops as he is an older dog. I witnessed through the numerous videos and pictures that she sent me, all the love and affection that Lui had for her as well. She followed all my instructions including giving the meds that Lui did required. She was also super clean in my house, to the point that she left her linen all washed for the time I came back. Now that I met her, I will definitely book more vacations without feeling too guilty with my dog. Chapeau to Tatiana ♥️👏👍
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.
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.

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .
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.
