“Kash was very kind to my spicy cat and dropped in each day reliably and punctually. I felt good about having him in my house while I was away and would book him again. Thanks, Kash!”
“Reluctantly giving multiple 5 stars due to not wanting to lose Vaneessa. Couldn't ask for anyone better, above and beyond service, Zeke is a big fan. Punctual, reliable, flexible.”
“Sally was a great cat sitter--she responded to my messages quickly, was very accommodating, super friendly, and always sent pictures of my cat Beatrice. :) I would definitely recommend Sally for any pet sitting needs!”
“Alma was fantastic with Drax and Essie. She was dependable, communicated throughout each visit, and always sent photos and updates, which I really appreciated. It was clear the dogs were comfortable with her and well looked after. I felt confident knowing they were in good hands and will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommended!”
About: I've taken care of other peoples' dogs since 2012. As an extra means of income during my undergrad, I provided long-term pet sitting services, and have customarily provided dog walking services to family and friends. I am detail-oriented, conscientious, and keen to provide the highest level of care to your animal! I ask detailed questions before taking care of any dog to ensure I have all information necessary to avoid/minimize any medical issues. You can trust that I will treat your dog as I would my own when they are in my care. I now have my own puppy that gets pampered, trained, and walked 3 times a day. If you need training for your own puppy, I have a wealth of recent training resources/skills to pull from. I'm an avid runner, so if your dog is high energy I can help with that! I work full-time from home, so I have flexibility to take pups for walks during my lunch and after work. I normally end work between 3:30pm and 5:00pm. I have a fully-fenced yard and a dog of my own to keep your pup company. I also have an indoor dog pen area. I also have 2 separate large dog beds for comfort of both my dog and yours.
“We are so thankful to have had Karen take care of our little guy. We have a senior with higher medical needs and Karen really put our minds at ease. She was punctual, very communicative, and sent lots of pictures. We were able to enjoy our trip with no anxiety. We will definitely be reaching to Karen again when we need care!”
About: I have experience mostly caring for cats & dogs of all ages, including seniors. We are a family of 3, me, my husband & 14 year old daughter. In early 2021, we adopted an 8 year old rescue Pug mix with separation anxiety, who sadly passed away October 2023. We care for multiple types of dogs. Small, medium, large. Dogs with anxiety, dogs who are dog-reactive, dogs that are blind or deaf, dogs that take medication, either in pill form or insulin. I am happy to continue with any training your dog is currently learning. Our loving home serves as the perfect backdrop for your pet's stay, ensuring they feel comfortable and cherished at all times. We understand the importance of routine and strive to maintain a structured schedule to promote a sense of security and well-being. Spoiling our canine guests with love and care is a priority for us. From cuddle sessions to playtime adventures, we will ensure your dog feels like royalty during their stay with us. When you entrust your beloved companion to us, you can rest assured they'll receive the utmost attention, affection, and care they deserve. I work from home Monday to Friday. I would walk our pug throughout the work day between 20-30 minutes 3 times a day and play time in the house. My work breaks involved snuggles with our boy. Our community is very dog friendly. We have a green space at the back of our home. Our Pug has enjoyed many a day basking in the sun on our deck. We live near the E&N trail near Portage Park where we used the trails for walking our Pug and playing at the beach.
“Absolutely great! Darcie did exactly what we asked and showed she really cared. Great communication from Darcie with lots of details. We couldn't be happier with her service!”
“Agnes did an amazing job checking in on my 3 cats while we were away on holidays. Reliable, responsible and caring. Provided daily updates so I would know all was well. Would definitely have Agnes care for my cats again. Thanks Agnes!”
“Amy has been our go-to cat sitter ever since we moved to this area and has taken incredible care of our 2 boys every time that we are away. She is trustworthy, professional, and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her services!”
About: My journey with dogs started early. I have loved and cared for my very own dog since I was 10 years old. This lifelong experience taught me how to read dog body language. I truly understand their routines, signals, and emotional needs. As I grew older, I naturally began pet sitting for my friends. I have successfully managed everything from high-energy outdoor walks to quiet, cozy evenings at home. I know exactly how to adapt to each unique pet's personality. I am currently working part-time and I am available Wednesday and thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, as well as on Saturdays from 11:00 PM to 6:00 PM When caring for pets at my home, I provide a safe, fully supervised, and loving environment with plenty of playtime and attention. For services at your home, I strictly follow your pet's regular routine, ensure your property is completely secure, and send regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind.
About: I’ve cared for many pets since childhood, giving me decades of hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. I offer calm, reliable care making pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved. And yes, dogs think I’m hilarious, while cats simply tolerate me — I respect the dynamic. I’m here for the zoomies and the drama! Calm, patient, and great with shy or anxious pets who need a soft, reassuring presence. I stick closely to feeding schedules, potty routines, medication instructions, and walk preferences so pets feel secure and comfortable. I always send warm, detailed updates with photos so you can feel connected and reassured. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel right at home, treated with the same patience, gentleness, and respect I give my own… plus a little extra, because I speak fluent “treat” and I’m an unlicensed but highly skilled cuddle dealer! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m not working at the moment, so your pet basically becomes my coworker — and honestly, they’re way better company. I’m able to give pets my full attention. I keep a flexible schedule for drop‑ins, daycare, and walks, and I’m available to follow each pet’s specific routine, from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and calm companionship. Pets get consistent care, plenty of interaction, and a reliable presence throughout the day. Drop-ins at your home: I keep things consistent by following their established schedule, giving pets calm companionship, enrichment, and plenty of attention. Walks are safe, paced, and full of sniff‑approved adventures. Daycare is a mix of play, rest, and gentle supervision. When pets stay with me, they get a clean, cozy environment, a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and whatever routine makes them feel most at ease — from free roaming to crating if that’s their comfort zone.
“I can't recommend Liz highly enough. She was a thoughtful and lovely caregiver for the cats and rabbit, taking the time to work with each one and their individual personality. Even my shy older guy was out for pets, which is a rare occurrence. The photos and summary shared each visit always made me smile and gave such comfort that they were being loved. Liz also went up and beyond when one of the cats got themselves in trouble, staying calm and providing great comms. She went to great lengths to get everyone settled. Very much appreciated!”

“Courtney is a great pet sitter and was very patient with my shy boy. I felt very comfortable knowing that she would be keeping an eye on him. I’ll definitely be messaging her again when I need a pet sitter.”
About: Hello, my name is Tory! I am 27 years old and have 120+ hours volunteering in veterinarian clinics with experience administrating medicine, cleaning kennels, and feeding animals daily. I spend most of my free time outside and live next door to Thetis Lake and would love to have your beloved dog as a companion to come along for walks or runs. I am also available for overnight house or pet sitting. I grew up on a farm where I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses and cows. Needless to say, I’m an animal lover big and small which is why I joined Rover! Although I do not have pets right now, I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life. I am comfortable around small and large dogs and have experience pet and house sitting for coworkers, family, friends, and through Rover. I will always prioritize the safety and comfort of your pets in addition to providing daily walks, affection and play! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I currently work remotely with flexible hours which means I am able to adapt to your preferred schedule! I am available mornings, afternoon, or evenings. I plan on looking after your pet and home with the respect and care as if they were my own. I am able to take your dog on multiple walks and can guarantee lots of attention.
About: Use code JOET22865 if new to Rover! I’m an experienced and reliable pet caregiver who loves spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and sticking to your pet’s routine. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a soccer coach, who has lots of free time during the day. I genuinely love dogs and really enjoy walking so would be available to walk your dogs for as long as they need. I live near the beach so can take dogs down to the water if they enjoy swimming. I have my own vehicle so am able to travel also. There is a large dog wash facility in the building complex that I live in, as well as an outside area. The building is very dog friendly and many tenants own dogs in the complex.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - View Royal
Lynsay did an amazing job caring for my cat during a few days of drop-in visits. Her communication was always prompt and clear, and she shared wonderful photos of him while I was away. I returned to a spotless home and a very happy cat. Lynsay genuinely cares about animals, and she was professional throughout. I'll definitely be booking with Lynsay again.
This review is for the series of 'get-to-know-you' drop-ins Gwynn and I scheduled before I was away for a week that they helped with. My pup is very barky right now and it can be intimidating for some people, but Gwynn and I managed to move through this phase with intention and ease. My little Luga quickly warmed to Gwynn, and after only a couple of brief visits together Luga quickly learned that it is in fact a very HAPPY occasion to see Gwynn ;) This phase of the relationship-building between Gwynn and Luga was a bit anxiety-inducing for me, but Gwynn is so professional and experienced and compassionate and in command of energies that everything went according to plan, and I could not be more grateful for it. Thank you, Gwynn!!!!! <3

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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 View Royal 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. 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
