“This was my first time using a Rover sitter for my boys, and Arlene was absolutely amazing. My cat Tybalt never goes to anyone he doesn’t know, yet he was in her lap right away. I couldn’t believe it! Arlene went above and beyond my expectations. She was extremely communicative, left our home in perfect order, and sent wonderful photos of my precious boys. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“She is warm and caring and very professional. My otherwise shy cat warmed up to her immediately. She took care of the few times my cats vomitted and cleaned the bowls. Everything was done perfectly.”
“Jackie was fantastic and it was love at first sight for Milo. We felt compeletly at ease knowing that she was taking care of Milo while we were away. She provided us great updates after each visit. We would definitley have Jackie come and care for Milo again!”
“Rachel has done an amazing job taking care of Morris! She was very communicative and sent plenty of updates and photos while I was away. She took great care of my place too. Morris loves her and I will definitely have her back to watch him and stay at my house again! I highly recommend her.”
About: Lots of experience caring for my own dogs and cats and am the go-to pet sitter for all of my family and friends. I have experience caring for senior pets, anxious pets and pets who require medication. I'm currently working shift work so I have a relatively flexible schedule. I'd be happy to work with you to ensure we can find a time that works best for you and your pet. I have a fenced in yard with grass for your pup to play in. I have one cat of my own so ideally dogs would have prior positive experiences around cats.
“Ashley was very gentle and reliable. I got a great vibe from her immediately. She communicated clearly and often. Getting pictures of Winnie daily was fantastic and my cat warmed up to her quickly. I would definitely use Ashley again!”
“Karen took such wonderful care of my cat, Neo, while I was away on vacation. She went above and beyond by sending daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Neo was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Karen is fantastic with cats—her warmth and attentiveness really shine through, and it made all the difference. She was also incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I’m so glad I chose Karen, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
About: I rescued my first cat when I was 10 years old, and I’ve taken care of cats ever since. I currently have 3 kitties that are 13, 8, and 3 years old. My sister also has a 6 year old Australian Shepherd who I have helped care for since he was a puppy. We have been on many hike adventures, had too many slumber parties to count, and I’ve even picked him up and cared for him post surgery. I am an animal lover, kind person, and can follow instruction. I genuinely care about animals and have deep respect for the bond one has with their beloved pet. I’m currently working part time, usually in the mornings. I can check in on your animals any day , but can only accept a pet visit that fits around my work schedule. I will try my best to match with the schedule you are looking for. I will follow all instruction I am given to care for your pet in your home and will lead with respect, attention to detail, and the upmost care.

“Khadija was a fantastic pet sitter for our Pentax! She thoughtfully added water to his wet food to help keep him hydrated during the warmer weather. By the end of her stay, Pentax had really warmed up to her, and it was clear that he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided!”
About: I grew up with cats, large dogs, fish, frogs and a bunny, which has set me up to be a lifelong animal lover. As your pet sitter I will strive to make their comfort and happiness my priority. I've watched cats. I've watched small, medium, and large dogs, young and old. Excellent listeners with routines, but also free spirits. I'm happy to take you, or your pet's, lead when it comes to their care so we can all be sure it's best for them. I’m looking to grow my pet sitting portfolio, so I currently have full time availability. Just send me a message and I’m available to come check on your pet anytime. Having watched dogs in the past I'm very happy following your routine. Such as feeding times, if they're crate trained, when treats are given. It's these types of routines that help to build trust which grows into mutual respect. Which, in my opinion, is equally important to the attention and fun side of pet care. :)
About: I've owned a variety of pets over the past 30+ years: cats, dogs, even an iguana! My friends have left their pets with me while they vacation and know I can be counted on to care for them as if they were my own. I understand the need for exercise, enrichment and cleanliness. I'm a retiree who misses owning a pet and can be trusted to care for your pet(s) as if they were my own. I have reliable transportation (truck) and am willing to travel anywhere in the Clarington/Oshawa/Whitby areas. I will ensure your pet has everything they need while in my care: water, food, medications, playtime, cuddles, and exercise. For cats, I'll ensure their litter box is clean. For dogs, I'll clean up after they 'do their business'.
About: Hi my name is Bethany! I’m a registered nurse who works in Whitby and Oshawa and lives in Pickering. I can house sit or take your little family member for walks as needed. I’m available during the day to pop by or for overnight! Thank you for considering me and I hope to hear from you in the future! When working in Whitby I can pop out during my shifts but when in Oshawa I am unable to leave work so I try to mark those days as unavailable. I am not able to accommodate having pets in my home due to the two sassy ladies I have here. But I am able to accommodate coming to your home as needed.
About: In my 11-year journey with my very first dog, I learned what unconditional love, care, and attention truly meant. Now, I am happy to extend that love and care to other dogs, providing careful supervision and engaging playtime to ensure their well-being and happiness. Caring for these precious beings is a profound and heartwarming experience that awaits! I’m comfortable staying for short and extended days when housesitting. Get a special discount for stays longer than 15 days! I always try to keep things affordable, so feel free to reach out♡ Creating a trusted environment is my top priority. I am respectful and sweet with every furry friend I meet, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. During the day, I enjoy playtime, and mostly refreshing walks. If it's nighttime, I like to create cozy indoor activities like gentle grooming sessions, soothing massages, or calm bedtime music to create a relaxing atmosphere. I also like to maintain a clean environment, ensuring everything is neat, and I always prioritize open communication, providing fast updates.
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Whitby
Yogita and Dibakar looked after our cat Mittens while we were away, and I am so pleased with the service received. They came by every evening, spent half an hour with her and sent us a little daily report with photos which we thought was great... my daughter loved seeing photos of Mittens while we were on vacation. We didn't worry at all during our trip and Im very grateful for a job well done - I will definitely be reaching out to Yogita and Dibakar again. 😊
Denell did such a great job with our special fur kids. They are senior cats 16 years old. Our trip was so great and we were worry free knowing Denell was here loving them and taking care of them. We plan to do some more travelling and it's a great comfort knowing we can because we have a great sitter. Thanks Denell and we will book you again soon!
I was in a bind and needed someone to watch my cat at the last minute. They stepped up and took care of my furry friend with the utmost care. They also provided many updates, which put me at ease knowing my cat was doing well. I could tell they really love animals, and I felt so relieved knowing my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend their services!
I've had a good number of cat sitters over the years, and Katie stands out among them. She is experienced, friendly, and clearly does the job out of love for the cats. Even though sitters are only expected to stay half an hour, Katie regularly stayed with the cats longer than that. She also did a great job handling the complex medical needs of our Sadie, which not every sitter is up for!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Whitby 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.

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.
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.

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.
