“10 stars! Emily was excellent with my cat! There was a definite bond from the beginning as he gave his "hey, here's a good person" approval. Emily was very patient, taking time to pet him, show interest and develop rapport. Her communication is excellent as well. When I arrived home he reacted very affectionate and relaxed. Not stressed or anxious at all. I love to see this because it shows he received good care during my absence. I'd definitely book Emily again in a heartbeat! considering she did such a great job showing loving care to my treasured soul mate cat :) I recommend her to anyone seeking a respectful, empathetic sitter who loves & understands cats 🐈 Thank you, Emily”
“Shelley is always great. She responds quickly, is flexible with you and most importantly does a great job at taking care of your dogs. If I need a rover in the future I will definitely request her.”

About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities and understand the importance of keeping them happy, safe, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them extra attention, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate weekday visits as well. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to work with your pet care needs! I provide pet sitting in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. I know pets feel their best when they’re surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they know, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away.
About: I’ve helped with various sized dogs for friends and family and I’ve worked with big dogs so nothing scares me! I am 5 foot tall though so smaller dogs would be preferred! 😂😂 I’m currently working for a preschool M-F 8:30 AM-2:30 PM. I thought this would be a fun way to earn extra income since I love pets! 🐾❤️ My cat Pumpkin is an indoor cat so I don’t let him wander outside. He’s more of a grazer when it comes to eating so I just keep an eye on his food & water and refill when he needs it. As long as I have clear instructions on how to feed/check up on pets in the past, I’ve been good about that. 👍🏻
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs for as long as I can remember! From pit bulls to poodles. I currently have a German shepherd husky mix and she is the sweetest, gets along great with other dogs. I’m not currently working so I’m fully available to house sit and/or walk your animals as often as you need. I love dogs and cats! I currently live in an apartment with my doggie, kitty, and two year old son. He loves helping me feed our pets and take them outside to play and go on walks. We have a small fenced dog park in our apartment complex. We go there often. But I prefer to care for your pets in your home where they are comfortable. I’m unfortunately not allowed to have other pets in my home.

I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy, pet-friendly space with secure areas for rest and play. I also do not have any pets of my own at the moment so all attention is on your pet. I ensure all hazards are removed, and I supervise interactions with other pets closely.

“She was very good with my fur baby today was super hot so my callie didn't get it long, walked, but she took her out for a little walk, but the fact that she was concerned that she was getting overheated really touches me because my husband worries about that all the time, we will definitely be using her again”
“Chasity was phenomenal! She jumped in last minute to help my family through an emergency. She took the worry of caring for my two high energy dogs off my plate. Thanks a bunch!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bruce is $43 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $43 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 November 2026, there are 634 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bruce. 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.
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 Bruce. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
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.
