“Patrick was very accommodating and understanding. My husband and I are grateful for his help with the Drop-in for our dog, Sandy. She has storm anxiety and these summer afternoons can be unpredictable. Patrick comforted her and gave her so much patience. He's also great with communicating. Highly recommend!”
About: I have owned 2 dogs of my own, as well as sitting for many friends and family. My very first job at 10 years old was requested by my neighbors to watch their dogs while they were away. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs, as my own both required a lot of hands on care in their golden year, including bi-weekly fluids, medications and special diets. I work part-time, sometimes in the morning to late-afternoon or late-afternoon to evening, usually 4 days a week. This schedule is not the same every week but I usually know 2 weeks ahead of time. There is someone home everyday after 5pm and all day Friday-Sunday as well. I have a townhouse with a fenced in yard. No ability to crate at the moment but plenty of space to crate if one can be provided. There are currently no other animals in my house, as my Biscuit cross the rainbow bridge last year. Both people in the home have owned pets, and have experience with care. Someone is home most of the time, minimal hours alone if any. Weekends will have someone home all day. House has step that can easily be blocked off by a gate if needed.
About: I'm a stay-at-home mom with a big love for animals and enjoy caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes! I love getting to know each dog's unique personality and strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and at home while you're away. I'm home most of the day so I can tend to your pup however they need. I will prioritize their routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will be sure to care for your pet as if they're my own! We live in a safe, calm and quiet area with a lot of space for walks and a fenced doggy park for run and play.
About: I've been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities for years, and I truly love getting to know each dog's unique needs. Whether an energetic puppy, a senior dog needing a slower pace, or a shy pup who needs a little extra patience, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I offer boarding in my home. I work remotely, so your pup will be treated with plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience providing drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love while you're away. I currently work from home so your fur baby will receive lots of attention. This also allows for more flexibility with your selected pick up and drop off times. I allow the dogs on couches and beds. (Unless you request otherwise). I have one very friendly 10 yr old dog. He is sweet, calm, and gentle.
About: I've been around animals for most of my life and have always had a special love for them. I grew up with cats and have helped care for family dogs over the years, including feeding, playtime, walks, and as many kisses as they will tolerate from me lol. I also completed community service at a local animal care facility in High School where I gained experience working around a variety of animals and learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and attentive care. As a pet sitter and dog walker, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm and reliable companion, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your furry family members! I’m currently working part time serving so most of my days are free! This is a win win for me because i’m a hot girl walk lover!! I have two cats at home so I won’t be able to house any pets at my apartment but I would be more than happy to travel to you and care for your pets in your home! I also have an SUV so I can take pups to the dog park or just a car ride if they like those!
About: I have always been an animal lover since I could remember. I have dog sat and walked many many years. I used to do it full time when I was younger so I figured why not make an extra buck doing something I absolutely love! I am a paramedic. I am an energetic person ready to help your dog burn some of its own energy. I look forward to caring for your dog as much as you would. I have experience with dogs from chihuahuas to retrievers, from puppies to seniors as well as birds. I have two birds of my own. I love them all. Unfortunately no cats in my house due to my husbands allergies. I only work 3 days a week so I am available more days then not. I do not ever work past 4pm so am available most nights. I am always respectful of homes and treat them as I would my own. Your home and pet or pets are safe in my hands.
About: I got my first cat at 10 years old and have had pets in the house ever since. I have two cats and a dog at home now. I am proficient in caring for other people's pets and routinely board and walk the dogs and cats of friends. Comfortable with all sizes of dogs for walking and playing. I can make any day work from 9am-7pm with some advanced notice. I am currently working part time and looking to add in some dog walks and check-ins. I will follow any rules or guideline you require when checking in on your pet. I am incredibly flexible when it comes to how you would like me to go about being in your home and working with your pet.
“Gracie is reliable, trustworthy, and a great communicator. Lucy is always happy and well cared for after every visit. We really appreciate the updates and the peace of mind knowing she's in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Kelby is awesome with my pitbull and chihuahua. She was timely throughout the whole process. My house looks the same as when we left for vacation. I will be using her services again”
About: Have taken care of animals of all kinds (from 5lbs to 1200lbs) my entire life. Former horse trainer turned stay at home mom. Have trained many of my personal dogs, done lots of farm sitting, and cared for pets of friends, family, etc. Comfortable and confident with all types/personalities of animals Currently a stay at home mom and have a fenced in back yard so very flexible and can work around just about any schedule your fur baby may need. Fenced yard, two very friendly and well socialized dogs to keep your fur baby company, can crate if needed but do prefer not to.

“A very pleasant experience with Gabi again, as always! She took great care of our pup and left a thorough report—even given my last-minute request. Definitely recommend Gabi!”
About: I’ve always had pets in the home — dogs, cats and fish. I spent several years traveling abroad and haven’t had my own pet for about 10 years now, but I’ve been a sitter for dozens of furry friends during that time. I am a real estate investor and work mostly from home on my own schedule, following up on tenants payments and scheduling repairs. My schedule is very flexible. Most days I’ll visit 1 property in the area and am otherwise free. I know that your pets are like children, and I’ll follow your instructions to the letter. Feeding times, medicines and walk times/lengths will be just as you would do it yourself.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a little girl. They have always been part of my life, and I never had any complaints. I’ve had cats, dogs, lizards, turtles, etc! everyone around me knows my love for animals and asks me questions about their own pets if they don’t know something. My dream is to have a huge farm filled with a bunch of animals. Animals will always be part of who i am :) I currently have a full time job from Tues-Sat so I am available mornings those days, Sunday and Monday all day to care for your babies :) I always treat peoples pets as if they were my own, giving them the care they need if it’s food, cuddles, or walks! whatever the precious pet needs!

Coco and Sallie were so happy to see Alyssa again. She came to our house twice a day for a Drop In visit while we were away for the day and she took great care of them. It is always great to get the videos and photos. Looking forward to using Alyssa again in the future. Sallie and Coco highly recommend her. Thank you again Alyssa!
had an amazing experience! She took such great care of Max and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She is bilingual, super sweet, and very communicative. I loved that she sent me frequent updates, messages, and pictures of Max it really meant a lot to me. You can tell she genuinely cares for the pets she looks after.
Ashley was absolutely wonderful. I really appreciated her daily communication—it gave me peace of mind knowing they were happy, safe, and well cared for. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
I knew Desiree was the right person when both my wife and I chose her while reviewing the Rover app at different times. She did not disappoint. It did our hearts so good to know that our Benny was in caring hands. Not only was she always on time, and stayed the entire time, she took time to play with him, take him on short and long walks, and sent us many pictures of Benny doing a variety of things. I would wholeheartedly recommend Desiree without a second thought. A+ 👏👏

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Greater Northdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Greater Northdale 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 are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Greater Northdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
