“Baylee is a wonderful sitter and she took great care of our sweet spaz of a dog. She took lots of pictures and videos to calm my worries. We will definitely be booking her for our future needs! Thank you again so much Baylee!”
“Emily was very flexible with our schedule from the very first meeting and since. This was our first time using Emily. We would definitely consider her again; should the need arise.”
About: My goal is to make sure that your pet feels as safe and loved while you are away as they do when you are at home. Pet Care is natural part of my daily routine and something I truly enjoy. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications if needed, or simply providing companionship, I make each visit a priority. If at any time my schedule does not allow for that, I would not accept the assignment. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable and I love building lasting relationships with both pets and their families. When caring for pets in my clients' homes I do everything I can to keep the routine as normal as possible. I also respect your home, keep everything clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe and well cared for.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own and have had cats in the past, so I understand how much our pets become part of the family. I’ve also cared for friends’ pets for anywhere from a single day to several days at a time. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving pets attention, and keeping them on their normal routine. I know it can be hard leaving your pets with someone else, so I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I love to keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is doing well. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom to a 3 month old infant, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets. I have a dog of my own, so having pets as part of my daily routine feels very natural to me. I’m able to make time throughout the day for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, follow your instructions and their normal routine, and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also respectful of each pet’s individual personality and will give them affection and attention while allowing them space when they need it.
“Megahn was so helpful for us and our pups with a pretty last-minute request! She gave us peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of. I highly recommend her if you need someone to care for your fur babies!”
“Alysia did a great job watching my critters (2 cats and 2 leopard geckos) while I was on vacation. She has done drop in visits twice for me now and always does a great job!”
“Andra was awesome and took great care of our 2 cats while we were away for six days. I don't even think our cats even missed us. We would definitely use her again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”
“This is our second time using Lorelei. She is so wonderful with our kitty. I also had a bit of a learning curve with rover and she was able to help me out. She is incredibly patient and great at communicating. We also forgot to leave Laney some treats and she went and got her some. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi everyone! Finally updated my profile. I have been caring for pets for over 6 years! Dogs and cats all breeds and ages. While I don’t have many services on this platform, I have done 200 services! Although I work full time, I always have time to care for pets in the area. Whether that’s boarding, sitting, or a drop in visit. There’s always someone in my home so your pet will never be alone! :) I have a great sized fenced back yard, a Yorkie who’s about 7lbs. My dog is no bother she’s very relaxed and stays to herself unless wanting cuddles and pets.
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.
About: I have grown up with animals and currently am a dog mom to 3 blue heelers. I have helped friends and family dog sit for years and would love to love on your family pet. I'm currently a stay at home mom with all 4 children in school. I would love to help out with the free time I now have. I have a fenced in yard and baby gates set up inside to keep pets out of specific areas. Safety is a priority in my home
About: I've had dogs in the house all my life. I've dealt with puppies as well as senior dogs. I've also cared for small dogs as well as very large dogs. I am a full time college student but I'm available on weekends, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 5, Thursdays after 4, and Fridays after 1. I love to play with pets both inside and outside depending on your area and if you have a fence. I also enjoy walking around Savannah.
“Tara was amazing with our boy! He seemed very happy! We will definitely use Tara again in the future. She walked him and loved on him. She was on time and very accommodating. Definitely recommend”
“Kaitlin is just amazing!!! She possesses a great understanding of canine behavior and always has suggestions to reward or curtail behavior. Her attitude and overall calmness is wonderful for my high energy boys. They look forward to their “KAITLIN TRAINER TIME”.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was around 15. I often took care 5 dogs for multiple days for family friends whenever they would go on vacation. I also have an elderly family dog who I love and often take care of for weekends. I'm currently working part time and have plenty of time to play and take care of your pet. I am also available for boarding on the weekend or if you need a in-house petsitter. I have a fenced in-yard with lots of room to play and run around. I also live in a quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac, perfect for going on walks.
About: I’m a large animal veterinary technician with a lifelong love of animals. I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets. My veterinary experience helps me provide attentive, compassionate care while recognizing when something isn’t quite right. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is most flexible on Tuesdays and weekends, making it easy to accommodate walks and drop-in visits. I’ll do my best to work with your schedule and provide reliable, dependable care for your pets. Perfect for those weekend plans! I am well experienced with all different kinds of temperaments in dogs and cats so whatever your fur baby needs in and around your home you can leave it to me!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
Leaving your gang is always tough when you have aging pets who require extra love and attention. We have two senior dogs and one very old cat, so I was incredibly nervous about being away for an entire week. Thankfully, we found Jessica, and she was absolutely amazing! From the very start, she understood exactly how to care for our older crew. Every single day, she kept us completely in the loop with a million silly photos of our gang getting treats, snuggling up, and playing. Seeing them so happy and relaxed completely took away all our travel anxiety. Jessica went above and beyond to make sure our sweet seniors were comfortable, loved, and well-cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. 10/10—we will absolutely be booking her again!
Macie is amazing! She is super communicative and timely, and our boy Sammy was so excited to make new friends in her and her son. She sent plenty of photos, and it was so great to see how well Sammy was doing during her drop-ins. This was our first time using Rover and we highly recommend Macie for your furry friend’s needs!
Attentive and fun-loving (which is crucial for Indy)! Went above and beyond even offering to take care of some of the plants in my home. Apparently she has a green thumb with her whopping 150 plants at home. Definitely highly recommend her, especially considering this was a last-minute booking. Thanks Danielle!
Katie was amazing and handled our pups with great care and attention. She was awesome and our dogs really liked her from day one. Our pets are very picky about who they warm-up to but they took to her since day one. Our pickiest pup Thor was by her side like they were old friends. She even did very well with our rescue dog Macy. We will highly recommend her to other people and use her services again in the future.

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

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

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.
