“Came for pre-visit after we booked, and to understand Maple’s routines. Communicative, and gave great photo updates throughout. Everything was left in order and ready for us when we arrived home. Seamless from start to finish. Will book again - thank you for all your help!”

“Christina accommodated me last minute as I had a work emergency. She arrived on time to let my dog out and replenish her food and water. She sent some pics and kept me updated before and after her visit. My dog did not want to return inside, but Christina used her dog whispering skills to get her back inside. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: Lifelong Animal Lover Offering Personalized Care—Because Your Dog Deserves the Best I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. My days revolve around my own dogs and their comfort—and your pup will be treated with that same level of love, attention, and care. As a mature, responsible caregiver with excellent communication, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I work from home, so your dog will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day, along with walks tailored to their individual needs. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, I’m experienced with all stages of life. I live in a house with a yard and two dogs of my own. I only take one dog (or two from same household) at a time so it’s not too much excitement. Or I’ll come to your home as needed!
“My little chihuahua is very nervous and sometimes mean to strangers, but he took to Reba instantly thanks to her calm nature and patience. He had a great cuddle with her and is excited to see her again.”

“What a great service! She spent a lot of time as if this was her own puppy. Will definitely use her again and would recommend to anyone looking for some dog sitting help.”

I am currently working at home full time I have my own business and have a pretty flexible schedule for morning or afternoon pet care throughout the week I live in a quiet street with lots of green space and parks and trails close by. My dog is friendly and always loves a friend to play with. I also have a crate and baby gate if needed.

About: My experience & genuine passion for animals makes me a reliable candidate for caring for your pets. With over 4 years of experience working with animals in a variety of animal care settings, I understand the importance of providing safe, attentive & compassionate care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work full time at a veterinary clinic, however, I have 2-3 days off each week that I dedicate to pet care services. My experience in a veterinary setting has strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, health, and well-being, allowing me to provide attentive and reliable care for pets of all ages and needs. At home, I have a fenced yard where your pet can safely play & explore. I also have a 4 year old cockapoo who can provide companionship your fur baby during their stay. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in client’s homes, I provide attention & companionship to help reduce any stress while you are away.
About: Hi there, fellow dog lovers! I’m a proud dog owner with 12+ years of experience caring for dogs, including my four-year-old Golden Retriever and my Lab mix. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience and affection I give my own. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to help fellow dog owners in the Stouffville neighbourhood with dog walking, drop-in visits and, in select situations, boarding in my home. I’ll be especially available throughout December, when my wife and kids will be travelling overseas. Whether your dog needs a walk, some company during the day or a safe, caring place to stay, I’d be happy to help. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home and available for early morning walks 8-9 and deliver after 12;30-1pm on most weekdays; flexible weekends ins December and Christmas holiday period. Your dog will feel right at home with us! We have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore and play, and plenty of space on our main floor to relax, roam and sleep comfortably.
About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve owned 9 cats and 2 dogs, including rescue animals, a blind cat, and pets with medical conditions requiring special diets, medications, injections, and frequent veterinary care. I understand that every pet has unique needs and strive to provide safe, compassionate, and reliable care. I work full-time in clinical research during weekdays, which allows me to provide reliable pet care after work, as well as on weekends. Pet care has always been a part of my daily life, and I’m used to maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications, and providing consistent attention and companionship. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they need. I believe every pet is happiest when their usual routine is respected. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for rescue animals, special-needs pets, and pets with medical conditions, I’m attentive to changes in behavior and wellbeing. I provide regular photo and text updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every dog. As a Golden Retriever owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, which helps dogs feel comfortable and safe around me—especially those who may be shy or need a little extra time to warm up. I focus on creating a positive experience for each dog, whether that means energetic walks for active dogs or slower, gentle walks for senior dogs. I also make sure to follow the owner’s routine closely so pets feel secure and stress-free. I provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your dog is doing, and I’m very reliable when it comes to timing and communication. My goal is not just to walk or care for your dog, but to make sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and have built into my weekly routine. While I work full-time during the weekdays, I dedicate my weekends to dog walking and pet care, ensuring I have the time and energy to give each pet proper attention. On weekends, I plan my schedule carefully so I can provide reliable and consistent care, whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or spending quality time with the dogs. As a dog owner myself, caring for my Golden Retriever Cherry is already a part of my daily life, so pet care naturally fits into my routine. I’m used to managing feeding schedules, walks, and playtime, and I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every pet I look after. I make sure to only take on bookings that I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and time they deserve. I provide attentive and safe care tailored to each pet’s needs. At the client’s home: I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, playtime, and any medications. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space and send regular photo or video updates so owners know their pets are happy and safe. At my home (if offering house sitting or drop-in care): I create a calm, friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and exploration. I supervise pets closely, provide affection and mental stimulation, and maintain their usual routines as much as possible so they feel secure and loved. My priority is always the well-being, comfort, and happiness of every pet in my care.

I’m happy to help with daily walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleaning, and lots of affection, while following each pet’s individual routine and needs!

“After 7 days, the cat scolded me at the door for being away but appeared fine otherwise. After a recent health scare, I was worried he'd be traumatized - not the case. Expecting him to demand food I was surprised that he ignored a small offering and focused on cuddling like the old guy I'd left. I would not hesitate to use Samantha in the future especially since she'd managed his meds effectively.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vivian
Christina was absolutely amazing with my cat, Tiger! She gave him so much love, attention, and care while I was away. Tiger can be sensitive, but he was so calm and happy when I got home. Her communication, updates, and photos were fantastic and gave me total peace of mind. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!"

Came for pre-visit after we booked, and to understand Maple’s routines. Communicative, and gave great photo updates throughout. Everything was left in order and ready for us when we arrived home. Seamless from start to finish. Will book again - thank you for all your help!

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 Vivian 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.
