Erika crushed it! First time having her watch our animals and she communicated perfectly. She followed instructions very well and gave our babies the best care! Our dog has some behavioral issues but she read his body language and was very successful.

Taylor was able to watch our kitties on short notice. She arrived promptly everyday for drop-ins and managed to work our electronic door systems without any explanation (that's kind of rare lol). I didn't have to explain much to her. She sent us pictures, played with our cats, fed them before she left, and cleaned the litter box when necessary. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry. Thank you Taylor! We're absolutely going ask Taylor to watch our babies again 🩷

About: I attended animal science school for a year, where I learned about different dog breeds, grooming, behavior, and training techniques. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, and I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any routines or special care instructions to make sure your dog gets the best care possible. I work weekdays from 8 AM–4 PM, so pet care fits best into my mornings, evenings, nights, and weekends. My schedule is very flexible though! I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, and lots of attention before and after work, and I always make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I also keep the home tidy, respect the space, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve had various pets since I was about 4 or 5 years old. Early on it was a variety of cats and then in 2003 we brought home JJ, our beloved long haired dachshund who lived for 17 long years. Throughout JJ’s life I encountered the full spectrum of pet care. Everything from the daily routine of feeding, bathroom breaks, playtime etc to more challenging health issues involving his mobility. After JJ passed in 2020, I did not have a pet of my own but tangentially helped with our friend’s cats, ferrets, rats, and birds. In 2022 we brought home my current pet, a tiny Tortishell cat named Nyx who is the sweetest creature to ever exist. I also often pet sit for our friend who has an elderly dachshund and a large cat. I work full time Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 5pm but I am more than able and willing to make time before work or after work to help take care of the wonderful critters we call our pets! I also am more than happy to set time aside on the weekend as long as my schedule allows for it and I have enough notice. As of now my main goal is to take care of pets either at a client’s home or designated area that they wish (park, backyard, etc). But I am incredibly respectful of other people’s space as I would want the same from someone entering my home. I also believe strongly in respecting any animal’s boundaries, personal space, and personalities and will do everything in my power to make sure they receive the best care possible and leave the space/area as clean as it was when I arrived. The animals deserve just as much respect as the humans involved!

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always felt happiest when surrounded by animals! I have several years of pet-sitting experience caring for both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I enjoy long walks and am happy to follow your pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you're away. I work full-time for the University of Rochester and have a hybrid schedule, so I'm only in the office two days a week (Tuesdays and Wednesdays). The rest of the week, I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your furry family members! On weekends, my schedule is also very flexible. I enjoy golfing, but it's easy for me to adjust my plans to accommodate each pet's unique needs and routine. My goal is to make sure your pet receives the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and preferences, so I take the time to get to know each pet and learn what makes them feel comfortable and secure. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, training, and household rules to ensure consistency while you're away. While I love giving pets plenty of affection and attention, I also respect their boundaries and individual needs. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels cared for and at home.

About: I’m back! If you’re new here, I recently reactivated my profile. I've been the designated dog-sitter among friends and have taken care of family dogs most of my life, including two puppies. As an active person, I'm open to various energy levels. If your dog is laid back or has a little extra energy, I can spend the preferred time and attention needed. Whether it's going on a walk, run, outdoor activity, playing, bathing, or making sure the essentials are taken care of (food & water, bathroom breaks, etc.), I can step in as your dog's "temporary" best friend. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be open and available to work around a client's daily or weekly routine... and spend time with pups :) I can take care of your pet in the comfort of their own home/area or go for a quick drive to a nearby park, trail, etc.

Riley puts me at ease when I have to leave Spade (my 14 yr old Bombay male cat). She keeps me updated with photos and a narrative of what took place. She goes beyond and even cleans any mess he’s created. She is always punctual and attentive to his needs. I will recommend her with a glowing review and hope to book her on my next trip out of town. The best!

About: PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL ANIMALS ARE KID FRIENDLY. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AGES 9 AND 11 ! My name is Alexandra and am currently located in Rochester/Irondequoit area. I have grown up around all types of animals from cats to dogs, birds, reptiles and fish, even raising a puppy. The main animals I grew up around were both cats and dogs. In my past I have worked at an animal store and had some experience as a pet sitter also. I live with my daughter who is well behaved and also an animal lover. I presently only have two small caged cockatiel birds and am able to move them anywhere in the house if needed to provide more space or comfort for your pets. I am willing to work with other certain types of animals if interested please don’t hesitate to ask. I look forward to working together and meeting all of your animals! I am available Monday to Sunday and some holidays morning to night time (flexible schedule) and willing to work with you for extended times or days I provide a calm and quiet environment. My neighborhood is also quiet and calm when taken outside for walks or to go to the bathroom. I make sure they do not interact with other animals outside of my home and the animals I do have in my home are small and caged in a separate room where the door is always closed. I do not have any other dogs or cats and I do not board from different people at the same time.

About: Hi guys! My name is Steven! I work from home with a lot of flexibility! I love dogs and have two of my own, a lab and a golden doodle! I would love to help you out with yours while your away! Take them running, play tug-O-war, basic training sit, stay, lay down, or just be a companion, whatever you would like!! I have had many dogs growing up including my current furry friends! I am very knowledgeable and comfortable around many breeds! I would be honored to be your dogs best friend as well! My schedule is designed to provide optimal care for your pets. As a full-time professional with a highly flexible work arrangement, I can seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's a midday walk, feeding, or playtime, I can easily step away from work when needed to ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. Your furry friends will have my full focus and care, making sure they feel loved and content throughout the day. In my care, pets receive the utmost attention, mirroring the love and attention I provide to my own. They'll experience VIP treatment, including regular brushing, well-balanced meals, invigorating walks, a clean litter box, and ample playtime. As an avid runner, I'm excited to share my passion for jogging with them for some extra exercise. The safety, trust, and positive environment I create ensure your pets feel at home and cherished in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past four years. I have two of my own. I volunteered when living in NY to help rescues and did foster as well. I work three days a week as a nurse. So I have quite a bit of availability on my four days off and would love to help other families. I have two dogs that I go on 2-4 walks a day with depending on weather. We visit dog parks almost daily. Multiple potty and nap breaks!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ontario on Rover is $26.52 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 888 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ontario. 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 Ontario 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.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
