“Steph watched our pup Winnie for the day while we were on vacation so we could go explore. She went well above and beyond! I think Winnie misses her! I highly highly recommend!”
“I’ve had Gwen take care of my cat for drop ins and house sitting. She is the best. My cat loves her. I can go on holidays and have no worries knowing that Gwen is taking care of her. Thanks Gwen for your help.”
“Rawan was very professional and punctual. She arrived on time as discussed and kept me updated throughout her stay. I’m glad I had the opportunity to book her and will definitely use her again. I highly recommend her services.”
“I am beyond impressed how amazing Damla and Leon were with deezel. Deezel is a high energy puppy in training and they went above and beyond to take care of him. They had amazing communication. Multiple check ins and pictures were sent. They always checked in with me before wanting to do something with deezel. They have the energy and patience for a puppy who requires a lot of attention and needs a lot of reinforcement. The house was better then I left it. I am impressed with their service and booked them again immediately. Thank you for treating my puppy so well and reassuring me when I was away.”
“Nicole was wonderful with our dog and extremely professional. We had her dog sit for our 6 year old dog in our house. She was very communicative and sent us frequent updates including pictures. She also took the time to get to know our dog beforehand. We will absolutely go back to her when we need a sitter. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“Great communication! Breanna was very kind and our dog took to her right away. We came back and he was happy and calm. She made us both feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her. She was patient and listened to any training or guidelines we had set out. Highly recommend and will book again!”

“Megan did an amazing job with my Roguey boy, took him on lots of adventures and made sure he was being mentally stimulated while they were hanging out at home. He was over the moon to see her again, photo and video proof was included 😂 I will always feel comfortable leaving my best friend with her when I have to leave town. Thank you again Megan for all of your help!!”
About: I have been taking care of friends and families pets for years now growing up and have always enjoyed it. Most recently doing daily check ins for my friends cat and greyhound! I’m currently a student working part-time who is about to enter summer, so my schedule is going to be very open to help take care of your pets! I am extremely alert when walking pets and ensure that all gear is properly secured (snug and not loose.) I also always take into consideration feeding/treat preferences when on the walks.
About: I grew up in a cat household, along with other smaller pets, but love all animals. I have taken care of friends, family, and neighbour's pets of all kinds including, dogs, cat, rabbits, turtles, even rats, and more! I am very athletic and enjoy going on walks, etc. I am home from school for the summer and just working part-time, looking for extra work, so I have plenty of time to visit and care for your pets! I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for a doggo to run around and love going on walks, so it would be nice with a dog or playing with cats, etc.

“Melissa is an amazing person! She looked after our Tabby Kitty Boy for 9 days as a House sitter. She took such great care of our baby! She gave timely updates with videos and pictures - we never had to wonder about how is he doing - thanks to her proactiveness and such love towards our kitty boy. She went a step ahead and ensured the house was clean and handed it over in such a good state! I am totally booking her care again - our kitty was super happy and looked after! So much so that he misses Melissa! Would recommend her BIG TIME! She is amazing!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for them has always been natural to me. In Canada, I’ve provided in-home boarding, overnight stays at clients’ homes, and drop-in visits for feeding and walks. I’m attentive, responsible, and truly enjoy spending quality time with pets, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am based in Leamington. For overnight stays, location within nearby areas (Windsor, Kingsville, Chatham, etc.) is not a problem — I can pick up and drop off your dog, or you’re welcome to bring them to me. My availability is primarily focused on overnight care. On weekdays, I am out from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. However, I work just 2 minutes from home and can stop by during the day for two breaks — one 1-hour visit and one 30-minute visit. Some clients provide a camera for monitoring, which I’m happy to install so I can keep an eye on your pet while at work. If I notice anything unusual, I can quickly go home to check without any issue. On weekends, I am usually home. I may step out briefly for groceries or a workout (typically no more than 2 hours at a time). For non-overnight services (feeding and walks), availability depends on location and number of visits needed. • In Leamington or within 20 minutes, I can visit twice daily (morning and evening). • For locations 45–50 minutes away (Windsor, Chatham, etc.), weekday visits are available after 5:30 PM, and weekends allow for more flexibility and multiple visits. I live in a small, cozy apartment, which creates a calm and intimate environment where dogs can feel safe and comfortable. Because I live alone, your pet receives my full attention and care. As long as they are clean and well-groomed, they’re welcome to join me on the couch — and even sleep in the bed if that’s part of their usual routine. I always prioritize maintaining their normal habits to help them feel secure and at home.
About: One thing that sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very experienced with pets and have a lot of great reviews from satisfied customers. Im also very affordable and provide excellent care for pets I set aside specific times each day to take care of your pets, such as feeding them in the morning and evening or taking them for a walk in the afternoon. By making sure that they have plenty of space for them to play and relax, as well as plenty of food and water. Providing them with plenty of attention and love, as pets can get lonely when they're away from their owners. Following instructions carefully and providing the pets with the same level of care that they would receive from their owner.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for most of my life and started taking full responsibility for my own pets as a teenager. As a teenager, I also worked at a dog kennel, gaining hands-on experience caring for dogs of different temperaments and needs. I’ve continued to care for my own dogs and cats as an adult, which has deepened my love, patience, and understanding of animals. I began professional pet sitting last year, gaining experience following routines, giving medication, and paying close attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits comfortably into my daily and weekly routine, as I have flexible availability. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s needs . I can travel within Chatham and nearby towns. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or playtime. I pay close attention to behaviors, respecting when pets want cuddles, attention, or space. I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats throughout their lives, including helping with births, and have experience following directions for pets in others’ homes. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Amherstburg 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Amherstburg walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Amherstburg 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
