Gwendolyn did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She responded quickly, my cats instantly liked her, and shared adorable pictures of the cats while she was here. I would definitely recommend her.

Suzanne was very nice, punctual and I had complete confidence in her. This was a long time away and the first time I’d left my cat for so long. Suzanne sent me photos and reassured me all was well. And it was. With my cat, with my condo and thus with my trip. Thanks so much. I will certainly ask for her again.

Brandon provided exceptional service, and I would highly recommend him. He went above and beyond to ensure our pet, Bruno, was well cared for, and we truly couldn’t have chosen a better sitter. Despite the short notice, Brandon made himself available, which allowed us to proceed with our trip when we thought it might not be possible. He checked on Bruno in our home, and we felt completely comfortable and confident having him there. We are very grateful to have found Brandon and would confidently recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and dedicated pet sitter.

Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.

About: Hi! My name is Alysia, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years through family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. During visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine. Whether that means a long walk, playtime, feeding, administering simple medications, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work at a childcare center, where responsibility, patience, and attention to detail are essential every day. Those same qualities carry over into the care I provide for pets. I understand how important updates are when you’re away, so I always send photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:50 PM to 5:30 PM, which allows me to provide morning walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and playtime before work. I am also available on Tuesdays and Thursdays for additional daytime care and can accommodate evening visits after work. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and always make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I do not usually have dogs stay at my house because I have family members who are allergic but I am very respectful of your space. I make sure that they are fed at the exact times needed especially if they have a certain schedule and make sure that they get their exercise daily.

Robin did a fantastic job checking-in and walking my dogs while I was out of town. She sent pictures of the pets while she was at the house and gave a summary of her visit once she left. I will definitely use her services in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable person to look after their pets.

About: I offer a home-based boarding experience designed for pets who deserve thoughtful, elevated care. My home is calm, beautifully maintained, and intentionally structured—ideal for dogs who thrive on routine, comfort, and personalized attention. I share my home with a 15-year-old miniature poodle, so I selectively welcome only gentle, compatible dogs to maintain a peaceful, low-stress environment. With limited capacity, each guest receives attentive supervision, individualized care, and a nurturing, high-quality stay. I’m enjoying early retirement and have chosen to devote my time to providing full-time, attentive care for dogs. This allows me to be consistently present, unhurried, and deeply focused on each guest’s comfort, routine, and overall well-being throughout their stay. I have a beautiful and clean spacious split level home for your fur baby to freely move around in. My home features a securely fenced yard designed for safe, supervised playtime. Dogs enjoy calm outdoor breaks and gentle activity in a controlled environment, always under attentive supervision to ensure comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

I have many experiences with caring for other owners’ fur babies in their home and I’m as respectful as I can be in their houses. I can send many pictures if the client needs them in order to be comfortable.

Pick me! My house is fine, or yours. I am trying to do whatever makes sense for you. I have usually dropped my dog off but am not opposed to staying at your house if you prefer that. I may ask to bring my dog Teddy with! He’s 18 pounds, and very sweet. Loves all other dogs!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life ranging from fish, amphibians, rodents, birds, cats, and dogs. I love connecting with animals and giving them all the love they deserve! I also am a former vet assistant (I now work at a vet lab) so I have experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and health statuses. My priority is the pets’ safety and comfort, and will work with them to ensure we have a foundation of trust. I also can work enrichment into my visits to get their minds more stimulated or just give them a 15 minute belly rub if that’s more up their alley. I’ve also trained many of my pets so I can help introduce basic commands to puppies or reinforce commands and manners from older pets. I’m available pretty much every day for the summer. Once mid-August comes around, I’ll be available Sunday-Tuesday at all times and Wednesday-Saturday from 9-11 AM I can come in let the pets out, clean up messes from them, feed/water, play enrichment games or work on training, and give them lots of love!

About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

I give Iman 5 stars times 20. This is my first time using Rover and I selected Iman for home drop in visits for the week I was on work related travel. To say I was nervous is an understatement. However, from the time I met Iman I knew she was the right choice. I perceived her to be a gentle, compassionate and honest person. This was important to me considering the temperament of my fur babies. One is a rescue due to abuse and none have ever been border and I wanted them to stay in the comfort of their own home. Yes I got that vibe from just meeting her. Very positive ora and energy. Iman exceeded my expectation. My 4 fur babies took to her right away and she cared for them as I would. You can tell this is not just work for Iman it’s what she loves. She absolutely has a love for and way with animals.t antisocial cats were even drawn to her. She made sure the house was locked and secured each time and that the alarm was set. I will definitely continue to utilize her services for my fur babies. I can’t express my gratitude enough for having such an amazing and outstanding sitter. Also, they loved her dog food. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 11,152 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Markham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Markham 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 Markham 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 .

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 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 Markham with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Markham. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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 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.
