“Lindsey was great with our girls and cat. She communicated with us daily when she was leaving the house and getting home. She sent photos and kept us updated on how the dogs and cat were doing. It put us at ease knowing they were being taken care of. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Adriannne was amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our pets and our home, while we were away for a week on a trip. She followed all of our instructions for care. She was reliable and communicated quickly and frequently with us before and during our trip. We have a cat and three dogs, including a high-energy 110 pound lab, and Adrianne took great care of all of them. Adrianne demonstrated that she has the expertise and experience with how to manage a variety of pets and dog breeds and personalities. We returned to a very clean home and very happy and healthy pets. We will definitely reach out to Adrianne again next time we take a trip.”
“We had an amazing experience with Jenna! She was communicative throughout the stay, sending updates that really put us at ease. The dogs seemed happy, relaxed and well-loved! It is clear Jenna loves dogs and took care of ours like they were her own! She also house-sat for us and left everything spotless. We came home to a vacuumed, clean house and couldn’t have been happier. We’re so grateful for the care she showed our pups and our home. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Brad was really great with our dog Mooney! He gave daily updates and communicated very efficiently. We felt at ease knowing Brad was taking care of Mooney. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how much our pets mean to us and how difficult it can be to leave them in someone else's care. I am currently a full-time therapist and am looking for fill my weekends with furry friends. I am available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to care for your babies. I am very flexible and would love to know everything about your baby/babies beforehand. A meet and greet is the only way to go :)
“Claudia was phenomenal as always! We can always count on her to take care of our boys and keep the house in order while we are away. She even stepped in and communicated updates on a house project that was happening at the same time she was there. While this was not her job at all, it is so nice to have peace of mind with a trusted sitter.”
“Jamie did a great job taking care of Dobie and Sparky for two weeks. When we returned, the dogs were healthy and happy. She got in touch with us for any questions and sent updates with pictures. She left the house in great shape, even stripping the bed, laundering her towels, and taking out the trash. I would be pleased to book her again the next time we travel.”
About: Over the past 20 years I’ve owned and cared for dogs (both puppies and elderly), cats, reptiles, rodents, and invertebrates. I’ve rescued a pup and trained a couple high energy dogs, one with a great deal of anxiety and fear aggression.I have experience cat sitting for various out of town owners over the years I currently go to school part time so my schedule is pretty flexible right now. I have a one year old pup who is very active and would love to make some new friends if the opportunity arises. I love to stay active, spend time outdoors, and meet new animal friends. Providing pet care is a job I was made for. Whether in my own home, or in a clients home, I can guarantee that your pet will get the care they are accustomed to. I am a detail oriented mother myself and understand the value of knowing your instructions will be followed and your babies will be safe.
“Katelyn was so sweet and sent us daily pictures of our pets. She left the house cleaner than we left it, and asked any questions she had. We would absolutely have her back for our cats and dog!”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting since I was a child, caring for a wide variety of breeds—from Toy Poodles to Golden Doodles. Dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities have a special place in my heart. I currently have a 10-year-old Havaton named Winnie, who’s been my loyal companion for years, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who treats your dog like family. Over the years, I’ve walked, fed, bathed, and cared for dogs with unique needs—from anxious pups to high-energy breeds and sweet seniors. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, seen, and deeply loved. Whether your dog needs extra cuddle time, play breaks, or just a calm, reassuring presence, I tailor my care to match their individual personality and routine. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine right now! I recently graduated this past May and am currently focusing on finding the right post-grad job. While I navigate this next chapter, I’m using pet sitting and dog walking to stay active, earn some extra income, and spend time doing something I genuinely love. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them brings me so much joy and peace. Plus, I enjoy getting outside, going for walks, and being present with animals—it’s the perfect balance while I focus on my career goals. I’m flexible, dependable, and committed to making sure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping their routine consistent. In your home, I aim to make your pet feel secure while you’re away by sticking closely to their feeding schedule, walking routine, and preferred activities—whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or quiet companionship. I treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels loved and at ease in their familiar environment. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll be part of a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, and cozy spots to relax. I have two cats and one dog who are all friendly and used to being around other animals, so I always make sure introductions are gradual and stress-free. No matter the setting, I show up with patience, kindness, and the goal of making your pet feel like I’m a trusted friend, not just a sitter.

The average cost of House Sitting in Parkdale is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $68 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Parkdale walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Parkdale maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Parkdale 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!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
