My family currently has a 6 year old German Shepard Mix, so i am comfortable with larger dogs.

Your pets safety and comfort is one of my top priorities. We have a clean and comfortable pet-friendly home with a fully-fenced in backyard. We also have a 7 month old baby at home, so i am very mindful of creating a calm and safe environment for both pets and our little one. I will follow your pets normal routine and any instructions you provide regarding feedings, walks, and special needs. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable and loved while in our care.

About: Hello! I’m Katelyn, the only trusted pet sitter you’ll need. I have always had animals in my life that I love and care for like family. Teaching my children to love and respect animals is very important to me so we work together as a whole family pet sitting business. I’m experienced with all ages and kinds of pets, even ones with special needs. I’m an active stay at home mom. My availability is flexible, including last minute needs. Lots of love to give and time for play. I have a large, fully fenced in yard. It’s perfect for playing ball and letting your pup get out energy. I love to have pups quickly become a part of our family while staying here and let them just be comfortable in the house but for pups who need some space of their own or time for extra rest I provide a gated doggy room with beds to relax on. I will strictly follow any directions you give for your pet and be sure they are given an abundance of attention. I keep you updated with text and videos each visit.
About: I am trustworthy and responsible. Keeping up on routines, love and safety is a high priority. Updates, pictures can be easily available, please let me know what kind of updates you would like to receive (walks, feedings, pictures, etc.) and how often. I have had cat(s) for 12 years and a dog for 1 year but have dog sat for friends and family many times. Excited to be your pets fill in bestfriend! I am not currently working at the moment as I am going to school for business so I am available to give your pets all the love besides the occasional schoolwork needing to be done.

“Angela has always been phenomenal with our dogs. One of our girls is wary and shy around new people but loved Angela two minutes after she walked through the door. She also always sends pictures which I love. Highly recommend her for any and all services that she offers!”
About: I've been pet sitting for over ten years and am trusted by several families in the area! My home is loving, warm, and will provide a safe and happy atmosphere for your pet. I only ask that you are honest about your furry friend. I can’t board pets with behavioral issues, fleas, chewing habits, or that aren’t safe around children. Thank you! I only schedule boarding and doggy daycare services on days that I will be home (unless taking child to school/dropping off, or running a quick errand). My focus is on one family at a time, so I never have pets from multiple homes under my care at once. Your pet will receive the love and attention they deserve. My care is loving, nurturing, and intuitive. I am able to pick up on your pets energy and decide how to move forward from there. Some pets are anxious or excited, and others need space. Regardless of personality and needs, your pet is ALWAYS safe with me.
“Jennifer is awesome! She communicates well and takes excellent care of my pups. It is so nice not having to worry about them while working, because I know they are in great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve helped raise and take care of dogs since I was 10 or so. We’ve had several litters of puppies that we had to raise and get rehomed as well as various animals to include cats, dogs, and smaller animals like guinea pigs and hamsters. Each animal has its own personality and that makes working with them so special. I have flexibility to stop in the middle of the day during the work week to check in on your pet and provide the care needed on a daily basis. I also have open availability on the weekends and evenings to check in as needed. I try to treat each animal how I would like my animals to be treated. They are alive and have personalities that should be tailored to the approach you give the pets. That’s my philosophy.

And always make sure leashes are on before we go outside.

I am eager to approach any situation with a calm attitude! I am willing to crate your pup if needed, or leave them out if that is what is preferred.

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
Meredith is a pleasure to work with. She is very timely and she gives me notice when she is on the way. It gives me time to have Cy ready. She gives notice when she is approaching the house with Cy on their return walk. Cy is excited to walk with her. I happy I selected her. She just stood out to me as being a good fit to walk Cy. Thank you

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Richmond Hill. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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 walker.
