“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Five stars! Kira is the absolute best and I cannot recommend her enough. I was pretty stressed about finding a cat sitter for this trip as my two boys are entering their senior years and have some special dietary/medication requirements. I just didn’t feel comfortable trusting it all to someone else for a whole week but Kira put me at ease immediately during our meet & greet. Her prior reviews and former experience really speak for themselves. She understood their significant personality differences and knew exactly how to handle them (which is saying something because one of my boys is very difficult and basically a gremlin in a catsuit). By day 3 of my vacation I realized I had stopped stressing about how the cats were doing because I felt so confident with Kira’s care. She is so communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. Also, bonus — she’s a fantastic pet photographer! We looked forward to the photos and commentary every day. Finally, the most important part to me is that I came home to find happy cats who were definitely happy to see me, but in no way seemed traumatized, which is how they usually act when I leave for a few days. She’s truly the best!”
About: ⸻ What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, intuitive approach to animal care—think “Mary Poppins meets animal whisperer.” I don’t just watch pets; I create a nurturing, structured environment where they feel safe, loved, and engaged. I have experience with a wide range of animals, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with administering medication, managing special diets, and adapting routines to meet each pet’s physical and emotional needs. For puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement, helping with basic training, crate comfort, and establishing good habits early on. For senior pets, I provide thoughtful care—whether that’s supporting mobility, sticking to precise medication schedules, or simply offering quiet companionship. Beyond the basics, I bring a warm energy, attention to detail, and a genuine love for animals that always shines through. My goal is for both pets and their humans to feel completely at ease—like they’ve found a sitter who’s not just capable, but truly cares. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s not something I squeeze in; it’s something I prioritize. Whether I’m walking dogs, administering medication, or simply spending quiet time with a senior pet, I structure my schedule to ensure each animal gets consistent, focused attention. I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care, from early morning potty breaks to evening feedings and bedtime routines. I also build in time for play, enrichment, and cuddles—because emotional wellbeing is just as important as physical care. If I’m caring for multiple pets or have bookings throughout the week, I stay organized with detailed notes, reminders, and plenty of communication with owners. For me, caring for animals isn’t a job I clock in and out of—it’s a rhythm I genuinely enjoy being part of. Pet care for clients home • Feeding & Fresh Water: Administer meals according to the pet’s schedule and dietary needs. • Daily Exercise & Play: Walks, fetch, playtime, or enrichment activities based on the pet’s energy level. • Routine Maintenance: Cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, and ensuring the area is tidy. • Medication Administration: If required, administer medications or supplements as instructed. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, adjusting lights, and maintaining a lived-in appearance. • Communication: Sending daily updates, photos, or videos to the client.
“Stephen was fantastic! It was my first time having someone unrelated to the family care for our pup, I was a bit apprehensive. But Stephen quickly put me at ease with his attentiveness and genuine care for Charlie during our time away. Multiple photos, videos and updates during the day, very responsive, and most importantly a happy loved pup!”
“Sydney was amazing. Not only was she able to jump in last minute she sent tons of photos and kept us updated on our babies care. Our doggies are old men now and need a bit more care and attention. She did a wonderful job!”
About: As a furmama of 14 years to my sweet chocolate lab and now caring for my 3 year old German Short-haired Pointer I know how important they are to us. I have trained both of my pups to walk without pulling and at a heel. Would love to meet your furbaby and help get them some exercise while you are busy. I'm available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays anytime. I work full-time so during the week my flexibility is worked around my work schedule which fluctuates. Message me to check availability. I do have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old GSP that loves to play. I have had dogs my whole life and love to play and spend time with them as long as they are friendly.
“We met Lindsey prior to the date. She was on time, friendly and the dogs enjoyed her. While we were away we felt the dogs were in good hands and they appeared to have fun. We will use Lindsey’s services again. Thank you”
About: I have always been surrounded by pets; enjoy giving plenty of attention; and have cared for their well-being (bathing, administering medications, monitoring recuperations after illness/surgery). I work full-time during the school year (August 20 - June 15; leave home at 7:30 a.m. and I am home by 4:30 p.m.) and have my evenings and weekends free. During the summer I am home and available during the daytime as well. I am available for check-ins, walks, and stays. Your companion would be cared for by keeping to his/her routine/schedule, keeping them safe, following any additional instructions, and giving them lots of attention and playtime.
“What a pleasure it was meeting Katie and working with her. On a last minute booking she was easy to work with and took care of our furbaby as if Nugget was her own. I Highly suggest you book her! You won't regret it!”
About: I have been petsitting and housesitting for 12 years, caring for dogs of every shape, size, age, and temperament (as well as cats, fish, birds, and guinea pigs!). From untrained puppies to seniors, chihuahuas, to lab and pitbull mixes, I've done it all. I started off with my aunt's beagle, arriving every day after my classes to take her on walks, play in the yard, feed her, and give her attention. From there, I branched into caring for my coworkers dogs, and through these people's referrals, branched out from there. I grew up surrounded by dogs throughout my life and the joy and fun that comes from playing with them and taking them on adventures is unparalleled. I am fully available on weekdays and most weekends. I work as a wedding photographer so am not as busy during the winter months. My schedule is wide open! I can provide tons of flexibility I will match your schedule and style when caring for your babies. I’m very active and love exercise. I set alarms for feeding and medication times. I’ll give them lots of loving during relaxing time. I’ll do anything to help your pet feel happy all while keeping your home as clean as you left it
“Kyle is the best! She LOVES animals. It was difficult for me trust someone I just met to come into my home and take care of our two cats that are part of our family. Kyle’s warmth and attentiveness toward Leopold and Maximus put my mind at ease. We are really glad to have met Kyle and will be utilizing her pet care services in the future.”
“Amanda did a wonderful job caring for our cat Serene while we were on vacation. She was extremely kind, caring and thoughtful, she provided excellent and constant communication about Serene’s well-being. She not only fed Serene and cleaned her litter box every visit like asked, but also played with her and bonded with her, and provided us with cute photos of her to look at while we were away and missing her. I would absolutely recommend Amanda for any pet owner who needs someone to do drop-ins with their pet while they are away, and would definitely book her again! Thank you Amanda 😊”
“Ifan is truly an exceptional dog handler, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very first time we worked with him, it was clear that he brings both professionalism and genuine care to what he does. He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about dog behavior, which immediately put me at ease as a pet owner. He takes the time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and routines, and it really shows in how comfortable and happy the dogs are around him. What stands out the most is how naturally he connects with the pups. My dog can be a bit particular when it comes to new people, but with Ifan, the bond was instant. Over time, that connection has only grown stronger—my pup gets excited every time he sees him, which says everything about the level of trust and comfort Ifan builds. It’s such a relief knowing that my dog is not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for and understood. Ifan is also incredibly polite, respectful, and communicative. He keeps me updated, is always punctual, and is very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I’ve used his services repeatedly, and each experience has been consistently excellent. Whether it’s handling high-energy playtime, maintaining routines, or just giving the dogs attention and affection, he does it all effortlessly. Overall, Ifan goes above and beyond what you would expect from a dog sitter or handler. His dedication, kindness, and expertise make him someone you can fully trust with your pet. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional dog care.”

About: Hello pet parents! I find great fulfillment in caring for and nurturing your pets. Caring for pets also gives me a wonderful outlet to indulge my intense and immense love for dogs! While I might lack decades of experience working with our furry friends, I believe I more than make up for it with my enthusiasm for learning and affection for doggies! All I can promise is that you shall not regret working with me! I work from home remotely for my day job, which affords me plenty of spare time to spend with your fur babies!

I have a family member living with me who is retired and stays home full time, so there will be at least one responsible adult looking after your precious pet(s) at all times!
About: I have volunteered at animal shelters and been a pet owner for the majority of my life with both dogs and cats. I am comfortable with all dog sizes.

Megan was totally committed to the welfare of my dogs both physically and emotionally. She handled every task and instruction to the T. After seeing pictures and reading daily notes of our very happy dogs we felt confident that Megan was doing an excellent job. We have already booked her for another job. I know I'm a little over the top when it comes to my dogs but Megan was understanding and professional about everything.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bolton 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.
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 Bolton 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Bolton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
