“Dana took wonderful care of my pup Atticus while I was away and kept me updated with pictures and texts the whole time so I knew Atticus was in good hands. Dana and Atticus clicked right away, even though Atticus can sometime be weary of new people. Atticus definitely got lots of exercise and attention while I was away, and I was happy to see him smiling when I got home. I would highly recommend Dana!!!”
“Kendra did a wonderful job making friends with our dog, who we have never left at home. She worked steadily to build his trust, and gave him lots of time to accept her putting him on a slip lead a going for a walk. We really look forward to having Kendra dog-sit for us again! Cheers!”
“Ryan was great! He stayed at our house for a long weekend with our dog, Finn. He kept in touch and sent updates. He took the trash out without us even asking and the house was tidy when we returned. We will definitely book him again.”
“We’ve used Nikki’s pet sitting services several times now. Nikki always takes such good care of our dog Georgie. He’s older and requires a bit of extra care and Nikki is always there to help accommodate his needs. We appreciate how attentive she is and makes sure Georgie has everything he needs while we’re away. Her updates always include the cutest photos and great recaps of what their day was like. 10/10 - Would recommend Nikki to anyone!”
“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!!”
“Saint loved her as soon as he met her, which was a great sign! She was so caring, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with pictures. We really appreciated how great she was with him and would definitely recommend her! 🐾❤️”
“Ally has been a great house sitter for our dog and cat. She was responsive, affectionate and made sure both pets were well-cared for while we were away for two days. Our pets clearly liked her and felt comfortable with her. Overall, we had a wonderful first-time experience with Ally and I am sure we will call her again. I highly recommend her.”
“Shannon was amazing with our dogs!! When she got here she discovered one of our dogs was having pretty bad gastrointestinal distress. She had a few accidents around the house. Shannon went WAY above and beyond to clean up the mess and still stay to take care of the dogs for the night. Truly grateful for Shannon. She us very kind, professional, and our dogs loved her.”
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and starting in grade school, I walked dogs and pet sit for families in the neighborhood. Just a lover of all animals 🤗🐾 I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule when it comes to a walk around the neighborhood or a check in with your pet. When checking in on your pets at home, I will always be cautious of keeping gates and doors closed and keeping them on their leash when gearing up for a walk ☺️
“Nico watched my two dogs at my house for 4 days while I had a trip to the East Coast. Nico did an awesome job! He gave daily updates , pictures, and took the dogs out on their favorite walks. Nico is also a great house guest as he kept everything clean and followed the instructions. I can’t wait to book him again!”
“McKayla is great. She listened to the instructions I have for my dog which put me at ease. She also took photos and communicated throughout the day. She really cares about your animals and I could tell they were happy. I would definitely recommend her and will have to ask her back!”
“Mae booked Marian for an overnight in our home with our 9 year old dog Finnegan! He is slow to warm up but Marian was Incredibly patient. She made herself available to get familiar with Finnegan’s routine and was very understanding when our plans changed slightly. We are looking forward to working with Marian again.”
“Paige took great care of my dog while I was away. She was respectful of my home and left it just as it was when I departed. I would highly recommend her to anyone, as she is great with the animals in her care!”
“Gabrielle was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly kind, respectful and attentive to every detail. She asked thoughtful and important questions, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dogs in her care. My dogs absolutely loved her! She was early for both our meet and greet and her visit, and her communication and reliability were amazing. I truly couldn’t rate her highly enough and look forward to having her watch my fur babies again!”
“We've never left our kitties alone for more than a day or two and when we had to take a longer trip, we asked Porsche to take care of them while we were gone and it was a great experience. Normally whenever we're gone for too long, it's clear that they're stressed. When we got back this time they were totally chill, very "You were gone? Oh, we didn't notice. I'm going back to my nap now." It's was clear from their behavior that she took wonderful care of them and gave them lots of attention. Highly recommend Porsche and will be asking her to take care of them in the future if she's willing.”
“Maria did a great job caring for Blu and Leo during her stay. She was attentive, communicative, and patient, especially with Blu’s crate training. I appreciated how smoothly the evening went and how she kept me updated throughout the night. I’d happily have her sit for my pets again!”
“Super chill guy, William was easy for my nervous girl to adapt to. He’s great with her and goes the extra mile with little things that matter. Thank you, Bill.”
“This is the second time Gabby has had a vacation with my dog and cats — and for them, it is a vacation! They love her and I always enjoy the photos she sends. Her communication is always clear and thorough. I can’t recommend her strongly enough!”
“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunnybrook
Erin was incredible and I’ll definitely be recommending her for other friends that are visiting NYC! She was incredibly communicative, very friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog Sedona in such great hands! We got lots of photo updates, and to top it off she was able to give us recommendations on where to go out in the city! This was my first time using Rover, and Erin was very patient with me navigating the app and how the whole process works! Thank you for such a great experience ☺️
Using Lauren to pet sit is seamless. She moves in and takes care of our dog like she is her own. Our 10 year old dog doesn't even know we have left. She also takes care of the little things around the house so we can vacation without a worry. Highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter.
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 August 2026, there are 5,615 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunnybrook. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
