“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.”
“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.”
“Steph was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. She took great care of my animals and I will use her services in the future and highly recommend her for anyone else needing a pet sitter. Thank you Steph!”
“She was great with our dog, he was happy to see her and even with bad weather she made it on time. She was also flexible when we asked for a last minute change, we will recommend her to 100%”
“Erika has eased into her new role with our dogs. This was her first week and she followed instructions well which included giving one of the dogs medications. She sent pictures to show what the dogs were up to and let us know when something was a typical. We are impressed with her communication and positive attitude. So far, the boys love her.”
“Kaylee was a great help to us while we were gone for 3 weeks on a trip abroad. We had her come by in the mornings to take care of our dog Robin who is a shy 60 pounds German Shepherd mix. She sent me daily updates and photos and even went so far as cleaning our cat litter and bathing Robin (no easy feat) without being asked to! When I returned home everything was clean and in order and the pets were happy and taken care of. I was really satisfied with her services!”

I grew up with many animals and have always had a love for dogs as well as cats. On my spare time I love to stay busy and active.

About: Besides growing up with our family's beloved pets, I've also had the pleasure of working at two veterinary clinics, and have pet sat for multiple friends. I am grateful for having been surrounded by all kinds of different animals for as long as I can remember. I'm comfortable handling pets with special needs (e.g. administering medications, anxious pets, pets with health issues or visual/hearing impairments, etc.) I am happy to look after all species 😊 I'm currently on summer break so I can give your furry family member my full attention at any given time. I will pause whatever I'm doing should something arise and need my immediate attention. I'm happy to follow any and all instructions you leave and provide as many updates with pictures/videos as you would like :) so you can feel at ease knowing they're well taken care of

“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.”
“Melissa was amazing! I had my usual person who checks in on my cats when I’m away cancel last minute. I discovered Rover and nervously gave it a shot. Melissa answered my inquiry quickly and answered my questions and arranged to come meet Bruce & Giggs before I left. Upon meeting her, she was lovely and made me feel more comfortable in leaving my guys in her hands. She was very accommodating and kept me up to date when she would pop in. The pictures were nice to see in her updates. Especially the one where she won Bruce over and he snuggled with her 😊 I trust an animal’s instincts about a person every time 😊 I would definitely use her services again.”
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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 139 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Amherstburg. About 75% 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.
