About: I'm the dog walker that you're dog will love. I'm unavailable from September 14 - October 18th. I'll be happy to see all my furry friends again 🐕❤️🐾🐾 I'm a retired personal trainer who loves being active. Walking and playing with dogs makes my day complete. I can't imagine my life without dogs to love and cuddle If I'm doing play dates in your home, before playing I look at choking hazards with toys, if going out in your yard I would be looking for dangers, or ways for the dog to escape. At the end of the walk or play session the pet will be provided with cold fresh water. If we are going for a walk the collar will be checked to make sure your pet can't back out, any harness I'd be looking to make sure it's fitting well. Your dog will receive one on one attention. I only walk more than 1 dog at a time if they live together permanently. I want your pet to feel loved like it was you playing with them and walking them. I do weekend walks as well!
“Just an overall amazing experience with prompt service and professionalism from Dibakar. I contacted Him while I was away and he was able to accommodate to my schedule to complete a few visits per week, sent photos, showed my cats some love and did a great job cleaning up! Highly recommend and will definitely have Dibakar as my go-to!”
About: Hi there! I’m Julia, a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent who knows just how much our furry friends mean to us. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and understand their unique personalities and needs. Along with my love for animals, I’m also a certified Reiki practitioner for both humans and animals, which helps me connect with pets on a calm, positive energy level. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some company while you’re out, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to help! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, always with care, patience, and plenty of affection. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I work just a few hours a week at a school, which gives me plenty of flexibility to focus on my regular dog walking clients and new furry friends. I schedule my days around walks, drop-in visits, and giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t just part of my routine—it’s something I truly love and look forward to every day. 🐾 For dog walks and drop-in visits, I make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for—just like they would with their own family. During walks, I keep your dog’s routine and comfort in mind, making sure they get plenty of exercise, sniff time, and attention. For drop-in visits, I handle feedings, fresh water, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I always take the time to connect with each pet so they feel calm, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶💛
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life in all shapes and sizes and for the past 5 years I have cared for and trained my own Golden Retriever named Archie. I have dog sat for family/friends on a regular basis. I am fully aware of how important a dogs routine can be to their behavior and well being and plan my days around the routine me and my dog have developed but I am looking to add more dogs into that routine. Having a larger breed dog myself, I know what to expect and how to handle them whether its on the leash or in the house. Pet Care fits into my daily routine as I am currently working part time, leaving me with plenty of time to meet your dogs daily needs and really get to know them and build that rapport to where they're excited to see me all the time! I care for pets to the best of my ability with whatever they need to make them feel comfortable and fulfilled with their daily routine. I want the dogs to feel as comfortable as possible to keep happiness levels as high as possible. In my experience a well exercised tired dog is a happy dog and that what I hope to bring to the table for any dogs that cross my path on Rover.
“Alex has been a really good, really reliable dog sitter. Very easy to contact, very personable, and I definitely trust her with my dogs. She was always on time, responsible with keeping an eye on the dogs, locking up my house and their crate afterwards, and giving a ton of love to my dogs. Would definitely recommend, and I’ll be continuing to receive services from her for a long while coming. Thanks Alex!”
About: I have a genuine affection for animals with an intention towards helping in their health and welfare. In any way that I can contribute to making an animals life easier and happier, I would feel honoured to be part of their care team! My daily life routine offers flexibility. I am looking to develop a livelihood that permits me the pleasure of working with and for animals and their families with a schedule that offers options to provide my service. When I bring pets into my home they are treated like family. They will receive comfort, love, and affection at all times. My household are unified in treating animals with kindness and respect.
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and have many years of experience caring for dogs and cats, as well as other animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have experience walking, grooming (basic), and caring for various dog breeds and ages and love to go the extra mile! Since childhood, I have taken a keen interest in volunteering with animals and have worked with many wonderful organizations such as Nova's Ark and Action Volunteers for Animals. I have cared for many pets growing up, most recently my 16 year old beagle, Clyde, who sadly passed away almost 2 years ago. I am very familiar with the special needs and care that senior dogs and cats require. I have also taken care of friends and family's pets for extended time periods as well. I am currently working as a Pet Health Consultant at Tail Blazers, a health food store for pets, for almost 2 years now which has allowed me to greatly expand my knowledge of pet care. I bring my love and passion for animals into everything I do in life. I believe our pets are family and so deserve all the love, dignity, and respect! Your furry friend/family would be in the best of hands in my care! Dog Walking & Drop-In Availability: Sunday & Saturday - between 9:30am and 7:00pm. Monday-Friday - between 8:00am to 9:30am and evenings after 4:45pm. Housesitting availability is flexible but varies. I am only available to housesit at the pet owners house. I am flexible and can make changes to my weekday schedule for regular clients or for special circumstances. I will do everything I can to ensure the safety, health, and happiness of your pet and help your daily/weekly schedules go as smoothly as possible. Whether you need a pet sitter or walker or just need someone to drop by for a check in and potty break, I'm your girl! I am more than comfortable assisting in feeding and crating your dog before or after walks if needed.
“Maria arrived as requested, took Fletcher out for a walk that met his abilities ( he’s 12 and has challenges) and refreshed his water. Appreciate the peace of mind having someone reliable to check in on him while we are away. Thanks Maria!”
About: I've taken care of pets throughout my life, dogs, cats, horses, fish, and chickens. I love walking and will take care of your pets like they are my own. I currently have to go into the office three days a week so I am only available from Thursday afternoons to end of day Monday. I can house sit if you are okay with me being away from the house for 7 to 8 hours a day mid-week. I offer pet-sitting services, where I stay in your home to keep your pets in familiar surroundings and on their routines. I also offer a mid-day and evening dog walking.
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.
“I so worry about my babies when I have to go out of town for a show, I am so grateful to have found Lyndsay, on first visit she got my Beau out of hiding, mind blown !! When I got home they were absolutely fine and content, that was a great relief for a change. To be able to go out of town and not even have to think about whether they are ok, is my wish answered. Thank you so much Lyndsay, please continue doing this job, you are a natural! Much appreciated. 5 stars is not enough !!!!!!!”
“My puppy Bella has recurring visits with Russell and we both love it. I love the Rover Report Card with all the details and pictures. It is like I am there! Bella seems to enjoy her break times with Russell. He accomodates last minute instructions and is very attentive to her!!!”
About: I've taken care of many dogs over the past 15 years, my dad fostered dogs when I was in high school so I've been around a lot of different temperaments. I've also raised my own dog from a puppy so I'm familiar with training practices and have experience with a range of ages. I have a lot of free time during the week which allows me plenty of time to spend spoiling your pets with food and attention! I am always caring and patient with any new animal I encounter, giving them time to adjust and being gentle with them until they are comfortable. I understand animals body language and know when to give space when it's needed.
About: I have grown up with various pets. I have experience caring for all size dogs. Have experience with special need care/elderly dogs. I can provide medications. I work Monday to Wednesday in office. Thursday and Friday from home. I am able to walk your pets in the afternoon/evenings and boarding on Fridays to Sunday. I offer a safe smoke free space. There are 3 children in the home 4,7 and 9. We live in a townhouse with a fenced backyard. In close proximity to a large park.
“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!”
About: I have not only taken care of my own dogs since i was a child but I have also taken care of family and friends dogs for many years. Dogs are special and have my heart. I am currently not working and have the time to spend with your fur babies so they have some company when waiting for you to come home I will be happy to come to your home where you're fur babies feel safe and let them out to use the bathroom and spend a little time with them and make sure they're having a good day
“Rahima has been amazing in taking care of my 2 dogs and cat during my 3-week trip. She sent me pictures everyday and informed me of how they were doing. She also kept me in the loop if anything unusual happened. She was consistent, showing up on time everyday. When I came back, my pets seemed happy and relaxed. Rahima has also handled well giving medication twice a day to my dog. I would definitely book with her again in the future!”

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!
Michelle has been a a true gem for nervous pet parents that have never left their fur babies alone. Her communication is exceptional, she is always early and her love for all animals is evident and our doggies loved the time spent with her . We highly recommend Michelle if you are looking for a pet sitter.
This was our first time using the service and we had an amazing experience.Ife was amazing with our 2 Rotti’s. He handles himself with professionalism,care and confidence and was so respectful of our home and requests. He went over and above! Would highly recommend!
We had a great experience with our pet giver, Mekah,while she looked after our dog, Oliver. Mekah was reliable, attentive and clearly cared about his comfort and well-being. We felt completely at ease knowing Oliver was in such good hands. I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet caregiver.
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!

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 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. 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.
