“I can't recommend Sarah enough! She was amazing to our fur babies and honestly Winnie was totally spoiled with picnics and play dates while we were away. I hope we can have her back with us for our next trip!!”
“Rae was amazing! We had a some stuff change and she was great! Our dog Chase loved her and her daughter!! Rae sent a bunch of pics of Chase who looked super happy!! She even watered my flowers which I was so grateful for!! Esp bc she found some still in pots I forgot to plant! Def give her a 5 star!! And use her again!”
“Dana! Wow, what an excellent human you are. Thank you so much for conquering an unplanned battle this weekend against our enemy, the sugar ants! It's an ongoing war, and you went out of your way (as I'm sure was necessary), thank you. Junie's asking constantly about when we are planning to leave again and left a travel brochure on my pillow last night. I caught her this morning trying to text you herself...something about coming over to finish that list of movies you started together. Had to change the password on my phone, that stinker! I'm sure you'll be hearing from one of us again soon! Thank you so much, Jess + Matt + JUNEBUG! 🐾”
“I can't say enough great things about Jeannie. She is so kind, and you can just tell how much she loves animals. I feel very lucky we found her and will be using her in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of pet (dogs and cats) since I was 17. I’ve watched friends and family’s dog and have a fur baby of my own. She is a 12 year old sassy cat and I’ve raised her since she was 4 weeks old. I’m free Monday- Friday. I don’t work in office anymore so have the extra time to take care of your babies! Willing to work with your schedule. Only offer walks, pet sit at your house, over night watch at your house. No services at my house due to my sassy cat :)
“Sara took great care of our elderly dog and our young active cat. She sent us adorable pictures of them and little updates along the way. This was our first time with a dog sitter, and she made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were well cared for!”
“M is incredible! Personable, attentive to details, communicative but most importantly very loving with our furry family members. M managed medical needs, early wake-up’s to accommodate old dog schedules and overall was wonderful in every way!”
About: I was the driving force for my family to get a puppy and I was his primary caretaker along with my little sister for years. I worked hard to house train him and teach him basic commands. And before he came into our lives, I took every chance to walk and care for the dogs of my friends and family. Looking forward to expanding my experience with your pup! I work remotely, doing data analysis and design, so I can and do work practically anywhere. Your crew will get all the attention and care they need! I’m never too busy for a belly rub or walk! My own pup that I grew up with really trained ME to know when to go for walks and when to play. So much so, that I find myself taking him out before his scheduled walks so we can both get some fresh air and exercise. He also instilled a diligence to make sure food and fresh water are always available!
“Jenna was so kind and considerate when taking care of our elderly kitties. She sent pics and videos so we knew they were eating and getting some love while we were away. She is intuitive regarding some particular needs (a little dementia means one kitty forgets to keep eating). What a comfort to know our guys are in great hands with her! Thank you so much, Jenna!”
About: Hi, I’m April! I’m 28 and live in Philadelphia in a house with a fenced-in yard. I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two dogs of my own—my oldest is 12 years old and my youngest is 1½—so I’m comfortable caring for dogs at different ages, energy levels, and stages of life. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to spend extra time with dogs and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m looking to pick up a second gig doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for dogs feels like the perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention during the day, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, I’d love to help. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and care instructions. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work from home Mondays and Fridays and during the week I work 9-5. I will be able to fit pet care into my schedule fairly easily especially on weekends, or before and after work. I love animals and care for them as they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, who are spoiled and loved very much.
“We were VERY happy with Stephanie!! It was our first experience with Rover and she made it a very easy and smooth experience. She took time to come meet our dogs before the weekend sit, asked good questions and interacted with our “girls” nicely. We have no hesitation to use her again and would recommend her highly!”
About: Hello!! I've always had animals in my house (dogs, cats, guinea pigs...) and I also have experience dog, cat, and house sitting back in Austin. I have big golden retriever energy and can tire out the most hyper of animals but also love a cozy night in and can love on a quieter, shy dog/cat. Additionally, I have experienced all ages of dog through growing up with and caring for my dog, including: managing puppy rules and regiment and later administering medicine and staying alert for signs of stress or discomfort. I work part-time right now, so my schedule varies. But around my work, I have a lot of free time to care for yall's pets! I am very flexible and have had experience with a range of animals. And I always make sure to stay communicative and ask lots of questions so that your animal gets great, curated care.
“Lindsey is reliable and responsible, sharing photos and updates while we were away. Easy to work with and our animals love her! Feel totally at ease having Linsey watch our pets and house. Will be asking her to help us again.”
“We used Kendra for the first time and she was fantastic. Unfortunately, the weekend she watched our dog was a complete washout with a nor'easter and rain the entire time. Our dog hates the rain, but Kendra did a great job getting him outside when she could and keeping him entertained indoors. We came home to a happy dog and would definitely book her again!”
“Ari did a great job taking care of Shadow while I was away. He provided updates, and pictures and videos daily, and was awesome about following the care instructions I provided. I think Shadow was a little sad to see Ari go, and I would definitely rebook!”
“Trevor was wonderful during a not so great time for my pup. Burt was in post op recovery and Trevor was able to take great care of him, provided daily updates, took him for his stroller rides and gave him his meds so he can rest up.”
About: Hi! My name is Maura. I’ve owned and cared for dogs for most of my life. I also have experience caring for cats, birds, chickens and horses. I’m an experienced house and pet sitter— I’ve cared for both grown animals and little ones alike. I’m comfortable providing company, keeping the animals on a schedule, and even continuing training schedules while you’re gone. I can provide references if needed! At the moment I’m in-between jobs, having just completed a summer internship abroad. So most of my day is spent job searching. I like to get outside and go for walks or runs on the daily, so oftentimes I’ll take my dog with me. I am also a moderate early-riser. I’m naturally up around 7:30, and I’ll usually feed the pets first thing. However, I do get up earlier if that’s the schedule the pets are on! When it comes to taking care of the pets in your home, I usually try and follow the established routines that they’re already used to. Throughout the day, I’ll take breaks from whatever chores or work I’m doing on my computer to spend time with the pets, playing or walking outside. Sometimes we just sunbathe ☀️ while I read a book in the late afternoon. It depends on the pet, but generally it’s just a lot of spending time together!
“Allie was an exceptional dog sitter and took wonderful care of my diabetic dog while house sitting. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly comfortable managing medications and sticking to a strict schedule. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog and my home were in great hands. I would absolutely trust Allie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring sitter, especially for pets with special medical needs.”
“Absolutely incredible. Sent lots of pictures and showed my pup so much love while I was gone. Abigail was very easy to work with. Easily hopped in the phone to establish care needs and was very attentive to my pup. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking with them !”

Sara took great care of our elderly dog and our young active cat. She sent us adorable pictures of them and little updates along the way. This was our first time with a dog sitter, and she made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were well cared for!
Seb spent a long weekend with our old lady pup Fenner and we genuinely couldn’t be happier to have found them. They stepped in at the last minute when we needed them and took the absolute best care of our girl, including giving her extra meds because of a recent procedure and staying an extra night when our travel plans unexpectedly changed at the last minute. On top of all that, they left us gorgeous drawings of Fen that made us so happy. Can’t wait to have Seb over to hang with Fen again soon, truly. Thank you Seb!!!
Ben was fantastic! He kept me updated on Boots' medications and sent the cutest pictures of all 3 pups throughout his stay. He also took excellent care of our home, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to others!
I trust Ally to take care of my baby because she reads his behavior and needs the same way I do. For example, when it’s super hot out she keeps his walks short and utilizes the pool and indoor activities to make sure my dog gets the exercise he needs! She’s naturally an amazing dog sitter!
Sabrina house-sat and took care of my two nutty little cats for 7 days and did a wonderful job. One of my cats needs a lot of pills and a bandage change and Sabrina was totally able to handle that. She came by before my trip to familiarize herself with the kitties and make sure she understood all the instructions, which I thought was really caring and responsible of her. I would be happy to work with Sabrina again and would highly recommend her!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sunnybrook
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 5,622 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sunnybrook. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Sunnybrook 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 Sunnybrook 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 Sunnybrook 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.
