“Hannah was awesome with our pets and with communication. She took great care of our pets and sent appreciated pictures. I will definitely request her again when needed! Such a relief to have her while we were away.”
“Karen was great! We were nervous as this was our first time away from our fur baby but Karen ensured everything went smoothly and asked questions as needed. She sent us pictures everyday and was easy to contact when need be. We will definitely be looking for her for our future trips.”
“Very thankful to have someone who understands the bully breed so well take care of my older bulldog. Understanding the mentality of a bulldog is really important to be able to take care of my big guy because he really is his breed through and through. Stubborn but sweet. Loved the picture updates and look forward to hiring Erika again.”
“Gwenyth is great with our two dogs Coco and Zoe! We hired Gwenyth to do drop-ins during the day. One of our dogs can be a little timid but Gwen is very patient and sweet with her. She is always on time, sends us wonderful updates and photos, which we really appreciate. We feel lucky to have found her here on Rover!”
“Steph did drop ins for the first time for our very shy kitty, and we were so happy and relieved that she felt comfortable enough to come out and spend time with her. Looking forward to our girl spending more time with Steph in the future!”
“We met Rawan before having her drop-in to visit with our dog for 30 minutes. It all went great and we’re looking forward to using Rawan as a dogsitter! She is very respectful and her communication is excellent.”
About: I have always had pets growing up. I’ve had hamsters, fish, dogs, cats, and more! I love animals, no matter what kind. I love going to the zoo, but seeing them in their natural habitat is much better. Farms are awesome, I’m always looking to go to one to see the animals. I love animals all around, they make me happy! I may not have my own dog right now, but I had a dog twice, and have been around dogs ever since I was little. Family members always had dogs I was close with, like Gus, the St Bernard or my aunts Jack Russel/Beagle and Pugs. I don’t have many photos with these dogs, as they are not my own. However, I always played with them and gave them love whenever I was with them. I have worked with a pet photographer who knows what she’s doing, she’s very knowledgeable about animals. I have gained knowledge and experience through working with her and the various animals, so I can be trusted with your pets! I’m currently working two part time positions, volunteering around, and staying busy. I am a Police auxiliary member in my community. This would be a great chance to do something good in the community, especially when it’s doing something I love… working with animals! From working with a pet photographer who knows how to deal with animals well, I have learned a lot about animals and how to care about them. With this being said, I adhere to any rules and instructions given regarding your pet. I prioritize your pets protection and care about them. I want to give them the best experience possible while doing things properly.
About: I have loved dogs forever. As a teenager, I dogsat for all my neighbours. From a bull mastiff to a Yorkshire terrier, I will walk, play, feed, and clean after your fur child. I currently work a 9-5 office job, with part-time work from home. No problems walking your dog while you make your family dinner. I am free anytime to dog sit. I am a hands on person, so your fur baby will never be alone outside. Ready, willing, and able to follow your dog’s preferred schedule!
About: I am very determined to make your pet comfortable around me. I have different experience with animal care like bathing and working in pet stores. I have my own pets I take care of. I do it daily and love every second of it. It’s best knowing animals are loved and well taken care of. I make sure the environment is clean. I have a daily routine and time of feeding. I want to make the entire experience safe and enjoyable for the pets and myself.
“Melissa was great with my two cats! She knows how to deal with cats, she is loving and caring, gave them lots of attention and play time. She also made sure they were eating and drinking, shes reliable and kept me posted on how things were. That allowed me to enjoy my time away a lot more, knowing I didn't need to worry about my furry babies and that they were in good hands.”
“This was the first time a sitter came to my home, as I usually board. I immediately felt Helena was a competent and trustworthy person - and I was right. She clearly loves animals, is reliable & responsible. I neglected to make Poose's toys available & she took it upon herself to buy some! You will certainly feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands.”
About: I have always had an innate respect and admiration for animals. I am a firm believer that pets are valued family members. For my entire life I was lucky to have a family who surrounded me with numerous different pets. I was the one who took the reins with their care. I am a supporter, and monthly donor at the humane society. I have had many years of experience caring for dogs and cats for my family and friends. I am their go to person for trusted care. I am currently semi-retired which provides me with an open schedule to care for your treasured family members. I love spending time in the company of cats and dogs I am committed to following the specific instructions communicated by the pet parents to a tee, to ensure the wellbeing of their treasured family members

There are 136 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Amherstburg. About 76% of Amherstburg sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Amherstburg 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 based on 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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.
