I am trying to find out what i can write off as a business expense while dog sitting. The dog i am sitting has been peeing on the couch and i am looking to get cleaning supplies or to steam clean it. Can i write these expenses off? And if so do i pay extra on my taxes for having this business?

You should consult a tax professional. In the US, if your expense is directly related to pet sitting, you can add the expense to your tax return to offset your Rover income.
You should consult a tax professional in Canada or look online for your county's tax code. There should be information about this, just as there is in the US.
In the US, your earnings would be fully taxable.
You will have to declare the income like all income, even more if you want deductions. But there is a minimum in the amount of income before it is taxable but if you have another source of income already, I am not sure if they see it as two different incomes or just add it to your present income. Either way, speaking to an accountant would be your best bet.
