“Ashley watched our two cats while we were out of town and she did an wonderful job. She followed the instructions and it was easy to communicate with her. I will definitely ask her again to watch our cats next time we are away.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 14. I have walked, played with and fed a variety of dogs. I have also taken care of cats and fish for other families. I adopted a dog, Maci from a rescue as a puppy. She is now 6 years old. I just finished my degree from FIT and I'm looking for some flexible, part-time work. I would love to take care of your fur babies! I am currently working part time from home so I can walk and care for your dogs throughout the day. I am available weekdays and weekends also. I would plan to care for your pets in your home. I can pick them up to take them for walks and play with them.
“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!”
“Melanie & Veronica are so reliable and take such good care of our cats & turtle. We get lots of photos and good recaps and I love that they use a laser pointer to distract our one cat from eating the other cat’s food! They are very caring ans trustworthy. Thank you again for keeping us from being worried while we are away!!”
“Anscia was available for a last minute drop in that was needed and was very helpful in taking care of Gio while I was caught up at an appointment. Thank you, Anscia!!”
“Rosandy and Edward are angels sent from Heaven. God Bless you both for all you do for Blaze, Starlette, and myself. Thank you always for the fabulous care you give to my beloved pets.”
About: I am a passionate and devoted animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I grew up raising and lovingly caring for 4 German Shepherds and 1 Collie, which gave me complete confidence in handling large, strong breeds. Additionally, I have extensive experience caring for and breeding Jack Russell Terriers, making me well-versed in managing energetic, active dogs. Whether your dog is a big gentle giant or a small high-energy pup, I ensure they receive safe walks, attentive feeding, interactive playtime, and lots of love. I always carefully follow all owner instructions and send frequent photo updates so you have complete peace of mind. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I manage my schedule to ensure that pets in my care receive frequent attention, regular potty breaks, timely feeding, and engaging daily walks. Because my routine is flexible and structured, your dog or cat will never feel lonely and will always get the focused care, exercise, and affection they need throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and secure home environment where pets feel safe and relaxed. During walks, I strictly keep dogs on a leash, stay attentive to surroundings, and avoid unnecessary risks or conflicts with other animals. I closely follow every owner's specific rules regarding diet, medication, and routine, and I make sure your home and pets are treated with maximum respect and care.
About: I've owned various pets and took care of other as well. I have walked dogs both big and small as well as taking care of cats in others homes. I'm currently a college student so my schedule can vary semester by semester but I always willing to make room for pets if need be. Used to own a dog that I walked everywhere every morning and now owned two cats whom I take care of everyday. I also walked other people pets around my neighborhood.
About: IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME, ASK ME FOR A $20 PROMO CODE Experienced and responsible. Dog care and training with safety and enrichment in mind. Life-long dog lover! Dog walking is not a side-hustle for me. My goal is to reduce stress, encourage calmness and satisfy your pup's natural instinct in every walk! 7-year experience raising my rescue 60lb pit-shepherd mix with reactivity issues. I have hands-on experience handling reactivity, leash-pulling, fear and stress in city dogs, through weekly volunteer work at local shelters. I pay close attention to each pup's needs and take guardians' notes seriously. I walk and train using science-based, relationship-focused methods — not dominance, for lasting behavior. I'm GCT certified and pursuing CPDT-KA and CCDT via CATCH Professional Dog Training Academy. I am also a guardian of 2 rescue tabbies - Sol & Luna. I am currently a full-time dog walker and trainer, on top of caring my own dog and cats at home and volunteering in shelters weekly. I am generally available M-F: 8a-7p; S-S: 1p-7p. Other hours may be accommodated on demand. A first 15-min meet and greet is a must for all walks to review your needs and your pup's routine, gears, personality, leash skills and any reactivity concerns. I am highly diligent on walks to look out for potential triggers and avoid scavenging. A safe distance from other dogs and humans is always maintained. I give them plenty of time to sniff and explore while keeping a close eye. The goal is to reduce stress, encourage calmness and satisfy your pup's natural instinct on every walk! I never let dogs off-leash or go into dog parks. If your dog likes to play, I can keep them on a long leash for run and chase time.
“Thoselin was great. She made all the visits on time, took pictures of my kitties, and cleaned their litter box everyday. My kitties are normally shy with strangers, but my babies seemed to love her.”
About: What differentiates me is the love and patience I give to each pet. I have experience with puppies and older dogs that need special care and shy rescue puppies. I treat each pet as if it were mine and always keep the owners informed with photos and messages. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with animals in the mornings and evenings, and I always make sure pets receive walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to the needs of each pet and provide reliable, loving care whenever it’s needed. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets always have a clean and cozy space, fresh water, and regular walks or playtime. I make sure the environment is safe, secure, and free of hazards. In a client’s home, I follow their routines carefully, respect their rules, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and cared for
“Isabel was absolutely wonderful. She was available in such short notice and took good care of our cat. She has a great personality and our cat loved her. Would 100% recommend her.”

About: Hi! My partner and I have been caring for our friend’s dog for several years whenever she travels — and we absolutely love it. That inspired us to start helping other pet parents too! We both grew up with dogs and cats, so caring for animals feels natural to us. We’re detail-oriented, always follow your pet’s routine, and make sure to stick to any special instructions — from feeding to walks and meds. We know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away, and we’re here to give your pets all the love, attention, and snuggles they deserve. Let us know how we can help — we’d love to meet your furry family member! I work as a face painter at children’s parties, so weekends are usually my busiest time. During those days, my partner is available and happy to look after your pet. On weekdays, I have plenty of free time and would love to spend it caring for animals. I grew up with both dogs and cats, so being around pets feels natural and joyful. We’re both caring, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. Looking forward to meeting your pet! We live in a second-floor apartment with elevator access — convenient and comfortable for drop-off and pick-up. Our bathroom has a handheld shower head, making it easy to wash your pet if needed during their stay. We don’t have any pets or children, and no other people live in the apartment, so your pet will enjoy a calm, quiet environment with no distractions or stress. It’s perfect for animals who prefer peaceful surroundings. Our neighborhood is very quiet and safe, with great spots for relaxed daily walks. If you’re looking for a calm, cozy home where your pet will get one-on-one attention, we’d love to welcome them!
About: Since adopting my own pup in 2022, I’ve fallen in love with caring for dogs of all kinds—from energetic puppies who need playtime galore to sweet seniors who prefer gentle cuddles. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, mastering the art of patience, routine, and tail-wagging fun. Working from home means your dog gets constant companionship, potty breaks on schedule, and plenty of affection. Your furry friend will be treated like family! 💕 Since I work from home full-time on weekdays, I’m always around to give your pup constant love, playtime, and frequent potty breaks (my own dog goes out 4+ times a day, so yours will get the same care!). On weekends and days off, I love staying active—whether it’s leisurely walks, park trips, or cozy downtime, I adapt to your dog’s energy level. From high-energy pups to laid-back seniors, I make sure every dog feels at home while sticking to their routine. Let me know your pet’s needs, and I’ll keep their tail wagging! My dog-friendly loft is a cozy, secure space wherever pups are welcome on furniture (including the bed!)—because let’s be honest, snuggles are non-negotiable. To keep things clean and safe, I wipe all paws after walks and tidy up any messes immediately. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, whether it’s puppy-proofing for curious noses or senior-friendly accommodations. Rest assured, your pup will enjoy a happy, hygienic, and hazard-free stay!

Thank you Rosandy and Edward. You are officially the aunt and uncle of Blaze and Starlette. The cats are in love with you both, I can tell. Everyday, I think to myself that I won the lottery by finding you two. Thank you always for going above and beyond for Blaze, Starlette, and myself.
Alexandrea is very dependable and prompt. It is obvious that she takes her drop ins very seriously. She plays with Sunny and sends us pictures and videos daily. She waters the plants and keeps Sunny’s areas clean. I am very happy with Alex’s services. Ms. Carole EP
I recommend Dorothy who took care of my cats while I was away for five days. She came twice a day to feed them, give them fresh water and refresh their litter boxes. My cats are afraid of strangers and they hid the entire time despite her efforts to befriend them, but they’re like that with everyone. When I came home, both cats looked well and the house was clean and well cared for. Dorothy followed my instructions for feeding them and sent me detailed updates of her visits every day. I usually hate to leave my cats but I felt they were in good hands with Dorothy.
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.
Nusta was absolutely incredible. I truly could not have asked for a better person to care for our dog while we were overseas. She went above and beyond in every possible way - taking amazing care of him, vacuuming and helping keep our home clean, bringing in our mail and Farmer’s Dog delivery, and even helping me during an emergency when I lost my debit card. Most importantly, our dog was SO happy. He had the biggest smile on his face when we got home, and it was obvious how comfortable and loved he felt with her. This was an extended trip overseas during such an important time in our lives - we got engaged while we were away - and because of Nusta, I genuinely did not have to worry about a thing back home. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone on this app, without hesitation. We will definitely continue using her because, at this point, our dog has officially welcomed her into the family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Nusta, for taking such incredible care of him and of our home. ❤️
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!

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 .

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 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.
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 Richmond Hill. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
