“This was the second time our dog stayed with Katia and her family. They took great care of Moshi and sent 2 updates and photos each day! We had absolutely no worries about his care and he definitely made himself at home there. We highly recommend Katia and will definitely use her again!”
“Debra was such a great sitter. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone and she was very caring and considerate to us and our dog. She kept us updated so we never had to wonder or worry on our trip.”
“We needed to board our dog for a week and are grateful to have found Siobhan and Marc! We got daily updates on how he was doing, and when I picked my dog up I could immediately tell not only was he comfortable with them, but had been playing regularly in the yard. Thank you for being such great hosts for my dog, will definitely book again!”
“Kristen is incredible. Truly a dog person, which you pick up on the first time you meet her. We have one of the highest energy breeds PLUS she is still a puppy. Kristen powered through the high maintenance demands of our little girl and when we brought her home she was exhausted and actually seemed like a better dog (not an exaggeration). We are so thankful we found her. Highly recommended”
“Katie, Laura and Denise were fantastic. They took great care of my boys Muffin and Lucifer while I had to be out of my apartment while it was getting fixed. They gave me updates and pictures every day letting me know how they were doing. I definitely recommend them and plan on going back to them next time I’m on a vacation or need to be out of my apartment for an extended period of time. Thank you again ladies for taking good care of my boys”
“I am very thankful to Karyn for responding to our last-minute booking so quickly. She is caring and trustworthy. Our dog trusted her from the get-go, and this is the best sign he was in good hands! Definitely recommend!”
“Wayne made sure our pup was well loved and truly treated her as if she was his own. They provided lots of updated and we were very happy with her care. We would recommend wayne to anyone visiting the area and looking for a loving stay for their pet!”
About: Spent my entire life working with animals. Dogs cats a variety of domestic and exotic. I also have spent time working in veterinary clinics. Animals bring so much joy to everyone i know I work night shifts so I'm always home thru the day to make sure they are entertained and looked after. I make it work for everyone My pets are on a regular routine. We have a huge yard with lots of room for them play. We spend a lot of time outside.
“Kenena was very easy to communicate with and sent us lots of nice updates during our dogs stay. It’s clear of her love of dogs :), a natural with them. Kenena also has a great set up with a large yard for the dogs to play in and they can even go outside through a doggie door on their own. I would definitely use Kenena again!”
“We have nothing but fantastic things to say about Sharon. We left our Lily with Sharon for 10 days while we were on vacation and she was very well looked after while we were away. Sharon sent us frequent messages and photos/videos which was a really nice for us to see that Lily was happy and enjoying herself. We would highly recommend Sharon to others and will definitely book her again in the future!! 10+++”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had cats my entire life and have experience raising and training a dog from puppyhood, so I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older pets who need a little extra patience and care. I also have my RPN diploma and several years of experience working in healthcare, so I’m naturally very attentive, responsible and observant when it comes to someone’s wellbeing. I’m comfortable following routines, medications or special instructions provided by owners, and I take it seriously when someone trusts me with their pet. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals (and honestly, dogs and kids seem to find me wherever I go 😂). I’m calm, patient and affectionate, and I think animals pick up on that energy. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable and genuinely loved while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible because I work casually in healthcare, which means I choose and book my shifts ahead of time. This allows me to plan my pet-sitting commitments around my work schedule and offer a high level of availability. I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime care, walks, drop-ins and overnight stays. Once I commit to caring for a pet, I make sure they have my full attention and that their routine is maintained as closely as possible to what they’re used to at home. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable and genuinely happy. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, stimulation, attention and downtime for their individual personality. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy and active dogs. My own dog was basically my four-legged training partner! We went running, swimming, played fetch with some seriously ambitious throws, and even played soccer and football together. 😂 I love giving energetic dogs the exercise and play they need, while also knowing when it’s time to slow down and relax. At home, I provide a clean, calm and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, affection and room to play. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and routines and make sure they receive consistent care and companionship. I take safety seriously and pay attention to changes in behaviour, appetite or overall wellbeing. I’m also happy to follow detailed instructions, including feeding schedules, medication and special-care needs. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel like they’re having their own little vacation while you’re away. 🐾
“Tracey is amazing! So friendly and welcoming. We were greeted this morning by her and her Lab, Lucy. Lucy was also friendly, calm and tolerant of Georgia, who still has Puppy Energy. Their backyard is big and fenced and I can see G loving spending a day in the sunshine there. 100% recommend this family to others needing dog sitting. Thanks again, Tracey and Family 🩷”
“Shannon was great with Aries. He was happy and got updates daily on how he was settling in and enjoying his time with Lola. So glad we could enjoy our week away knowing he was being loved and cared for so well.”
About: After losing our 13 year old dog, my children and I started fostering for a local rescue group 4 years ago. During this time, I have taken care of numerous dogs of different breeds and prepared them for their new families. I babysit for our friends and family on a regular basis. I work full-time, but my office is 5 mins from my home so can do lunchtime visits, so older housetrained pets are best. Weekends are more flexible and can watch younger pets at these times. I have a large fenced yard and (2) older dog-savy children. I live in a quiet community and can easily go for walks with the dogs. I can take crate trained or housetrained pets and am flexible with allowing them on furniture or not.
About: Besides having pets my whole life I would say that my special skills include setting up cages, giving accurate dosages of medication and providing long walks and play times. Crate trained or not, I have been with all ages and types/sizes of dogs. Pet care sits my schedule because and a person of routine I enjoy getting to come home to someone. Walks, exercise, and giving entertainment are all these daily I try and accomplish. My home is large, each of the 3 levels have enough enough room to feel spacious. The yard front and back are both large. We have a pool that is swim friendly as-well and a caged in area for any off leash fun. Pets are welcome on the furniture just because that’s always how I had it when I grew up. I mean they are part of the family of course they can come chill and watch a movie. We are also near a park and lake and live In an avenue so almost no traffic.
“Kaitlin was fantastic for our Bulldofretriever cross, Titan was comfortable and happy and very well taken care of, we were provided with tons of pictures and will definitely be asking for help again when it's time❤️”
“So kind, sending so many pictures to show us how Maple was getting along in Her home. I would highly recommend this loving family to care for your pet like they are their own. I will definitely use them again!”
“We love Jeanne. Napoleon stayed with her for a few days and was so well taken care of. She updated us throughout and we could see how much fun he had with her. I was so nervous at the thought of leaving my fur baby with someone else but I’d send him to her place anytime. She is amazing.”
About: I’ve taken care and owned dogs my whole life. Friends, family, and others have came to me to ensure their pets are taken care of! I am currently working part time and looking to take care and give attention to your pets as I don’t have the time right now to give full attention to a pet of my own! I have a full fenced in yard, No pets at home and plenty of time to give to your pets. As well as a great neighbourhood to go on walks!
“Rebecca is amazing. She cared for both of our girls (2 yr old Vizsla and 16 week old Siamese kitten) while we were away. She sent pics of our happy dog and was very patient with our kitten as she tried to get comfortable with her cats. She treated them like her own. Both of our girls came home happy and tired. I will absolutely contact Rebecca the next time we go away.”

Denise and Mindy were amazing with our dog Lucy. They showered her in love and cuddles while we were away and sent us lots of pictures to reassure us. We would love to have them watch our pup again for us. We highly recommend Denise and Mindy to watch your pup!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Washago home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Washago
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
