About: As a teacher, patience, reliability, and communication are second nature to me. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I'll treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. Currently a teacher on summer break looking forward to helping you take care of your fur babies in this summer heat. All day availability for walks, drop ins and snuggles.

About: I grew up with large and small dogs since I was young. My first dog was a pitbull so no I don’t think they’re dangerous, so much so I own a cane corso now. I love all types of dogs and rescued a few strays to give to new families. I have done the same with cats and birds, yes birds. I found strays from new born to even elderly, took care of them and learned how to do basic grooming care like clipping nails and trimming coats. I train my dogs pretty well, I’m not no professional, but they know many key tricks perfectly. I’m currently going to college but it is night classes so I’m free for the entire morning till early afternoon. I’m available for any services unless already booked or stated unavailable for personal reasons. I am free any time from 10am to 4pm Monday Tuesday Wednesday. Sunday Thursday and Friday 6am to 4pm. Saturday 6am to 12pm If there is clients with multiple dogs I know how to stop a scuffle before or during so don’t worry too much on that. I would like to know any allergies and during check ins their feeding regimens. Honestly I love all fur babies and giving them that extra TLC, brushing that winter coat off or just in general keeping them company.
About: I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their unique personality, routine, and needs. I currently do drop in visits and house sit for a 3-year-old Pit Bull named Dutch, providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of affection while maintaining his regular routine. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important consistency is for pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, energetic play sessions, quiet companionship, sticking to their daily routine, or just wants to sit outside and supervise the neighborhood squirrels, I'm committed to providing the same level of care and love that I'd want for my own pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. :) I currently work part-time in the environmental field and work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to meet your pet's needs.

Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while following your instructions closely. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 9+ years, caring for my French Bulldog through every stage of her life—from playful puppy to senior years—which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to a dog’s changing needs. I now have a Cavapoo and love going through all the puppy milestones again, including basic training, routines, and socialization.

I genuinely treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

Once they’re comfortable, I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and care based on their energy level and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away

A very sweet and kind disposition to her. I would absolutely recommend Isis to anyone looking for a kind and friendly care taker for their pet!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
Angela was wonderful with Tappi! She was very patient and seemed experienced with puppies. I also really appreciated her great communication and flexibility when I needed to change the visit times. She made the whole process easy and gave me peace of mind knowing Tappi was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again! 😊
Rachel was so kind and patient with our young puppy! Our puppy is still learning and doing all the typical puppy things, and she handled everything really well. We really appreciated her patience and understanding as our little one continues to learn and grow 🙂
We’re so grateful to Angie for looking after our little Moylan! ❤️ She took such great care of him, making sure he was fed, played with, and given plenty of attention. She kept us updated with lovely pictures and messages throughout, which gave us such peace of mind. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We’re so thankful she was able to mind Moylan and would recommend Angie 100% to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!
Emily has been Coco’s regular dog walker for quite some time, and we truly could not have asked for someone better. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and most importantly, genuinely cares about Coco. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that when we were at work, Coco was with someone we completely trusted. Emily was always dependable, kept us updated after their walks, and treated Coco like she was her own. Coco absolutely loves her, which says everything! We’re only parting ways because Emily received an amazing full-time opportunity, otherwise we would happily have kept her as Coco’s walker for years to come. Anyone who has the opportunity to have Emily care for their pet will be incredibly lucky. We’re going to miss her so much and can’t recommend her highly enough. ❤️🐾
Booked Charlie for a last minute 1 hour drop-in visit, due to unexpected/urgent appointments that took me out for the day. My pup is a recently adopted rescue with some reactivity and other idiosyncrasies, and I wasn’t comfortable leaving her with an unknown boarder or daycare. I was upfront about Lala’s issues-in-progress and Charlie was gracious, accommodating and communicative. During the hour-long visit, he sent plenty of photos and met my pup where she was at. Visit went smoothly and I was able to focus on my rather stressful day without having to worry too much about her. Thanks again.
Kiana was fantastic with my dogs! She was super flexible on short notice, set up a meet and greet right away, and asked all the right questions. One of my pups is a senior who requires several medications twice a day, and she handled his care seamlessly. She is trustworthy, kind, and took wonderful care of my dogs. Her communication was great throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
Carolina is AMAZING! I just recently moved into my apartment, and was anxious about finding someone to take care of my dog (Staffie mix) and my cat - both senior pets - during a trip to visit family. I'm so glad I chose Carolina, she was absolutely fantastic - extremely professional, caring, and communicative throughout the visit, and I could tell from the first photo she sent that my pets were in great hands. The neighbors in my new building also had great things to say about her once I returned. I'm so grateful for her expert care, and definitely plan to book her again. Highly recommended!
Amanda was amazing with Flint! We had a pretty last minute situation and she came through for us with no hesitation. She was super attentive, communicative, and really took initiative during her drop-ins. She noticed things, checked in with us when needed, and went above and beyond without us having to ask. I felt comfortable knowing Flint was in good hands while we were away. Definitely someone I’ll be booking again in the future. Highly recommend Amanda!
Alex was great with my babies while I was gone for almost two weeks! When I got home I could tell they had been well taken care of, they didn't appear stressed at all which has happened in the past. Alex was super responsive and sent me such great pictures that helped relieve my anxiety. I would absolutely recommend her!
Joey was amazeballs! It was my first week back to work, after moving into a new place, and day one Astro was having bad separation anxiety. As soon as I reached out, I was chatted back within minutes and Joey met Astro that evening. We started noon time visits/walks immediately the next day, and by the end of the week Astro was in love with him and settled. Joey helped Astro through his lonely week, and also gave my cat Luna some pets when she finally arrived to our new home a few days later. Joey and Rover.com were such a great help during a time when I was in need. I am highly happy with my choice.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Richmond Hill is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 26,209 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Richmond Hill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.

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 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.
