“Jocelyn was an absolute pleasure to work with and took incredible care of our 3 cats! She went above and beyond in following our instructions and showing our babies some affection and playtime 💕 She was communicative, reliable, and a professional at administering medication to our senior cat, while also managing with our kitten who has more energy. I can’t recommend her enough and look forward to hiring her again!”

About: I have lived with cats my entire life. I always wanted to add a dog to our family growing up but it wasn’t possible at the time. So as soon as I was able, I started fostering dogs. I absolutely adore animals and I can’t wait to meet your pets. Pet care is my current full time job during my university summer break. I am available in the GTA from April to August at any time. I understand that every pet is different and has different needs. I look forward to hearing from you as the owner the best way to take care of your pet.

About: I've provided care for dogs of all ages (newborn to palliative senior), training and energy levels, and breeds (Chihuahuas to Great Danes & Mastiffs) through fostering, boarding and day care/walks. While typically busy on weekdays, I have plenty of free time on the weekends to care for your pet(s). I can usually be available with little notice. I would follow your safety rules and use your preferred tools (leash, harness, etc.) when babysitting/walking. I also have 2 friendly dogs and a fenced yard.

“Gemini fell in love with Britt immediately! Such an amazing sitter, giving Gemini space, independence, and all the cuddles she wanted, as well as ensuring she was comfortable during the heatwave.

About: Friends and neighbours rely on me to care for their pets. My kids (9 + 6) also love to help provide love and care to the pets in our life. We currently dog sit for my friend’s floofy sheepadoodle in our home multiple times a year. We walk many neighbours dogs, and cat sit when they are away. I have also been a cat owner for most of my adult life. I am self employed and work from home therefore I have an extremely flexible schedule. My family recently adopted our own 5 year old Bernedoodle who is the silliest and most loving guy! My oldest kiddo play rep sports throughout the year which brings us on the road a lot for tournaments and travel games. Our new family member loves to travel in the car with us to outdoor games! If you are comfortable, we can also bring your dog to the ball park to enjoy some fresh air and extra cuddles. We often dog sit for friends at my home and are relied upon for pet sitting for family and friends at their home as well! We would love to meet you! I have a 4 level back split with a fully fenced yard on the central Hamilton mountain. My home is totally pet friendly although I don’t have any furry pets of my own presently (only tropical fish and betas 🙃). I have 2 young energetic kids who love animals and would be over the moon to help care for your fur babes!

About: Hey! I'm Bree, a dedicated pet sitter based out of Hamilton, Ontario. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a little kid, and over the years I've built real experience with dogs who need a little extra care and confidence. I’m experienced caring for brachycephalic dogs, working with dogs with a bite history and all kinds of behavioural challenges, and keeping a close eye on escape artists who love to test their boundaries. Alongside that, I also care for cats, turtles, fish and small animals, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different, and some need a little extra patience, reassurance and understanding. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has their own very specific routine, I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved while their family is away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I love being able to give pet parents peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and plenty of care and attention! I offer a range of services to ensure your furry, feathered, or scaly friends are well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need boarding (if more comfortable, Luna and Ivy can be boarded at my mom's during your pet's sit), overnight care, or daily pet sitting, I’m here to help. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I strive to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer dog walking services. I work remotely on a flexible schedule, so I can build my day around your pet’s routine instead of the other way around. That means I can stay at your home for overnights, fit in morning and evening visits, and be there for midday feedings, medication times, or a check-in when your pet needs company. If your pet likes having someone around, I can work from your place while I’m there. Last-minute bookings, longer trips, and holiday coverage are often possible too, and I’m happy to keep to your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and medication schedule down to the minute. I care for pets in whatever setting suits them best, whether that’s in your home or mine. Most animals are calmest in their own space, so I’m happy to come to you for drop-in visits, daily sitting, or overnight stays. Boarding in my home is also available for pets who do well in a new environment. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine: feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep an eye on the house, bring in the mail, and water plants if needed. In my home, pets get a safe, secure, supervised space, along with the same routine, exercise, and company they’re used to. Either way, you’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience giving medications and injections, and I’m comfortable with pets who are shy, anxious, or need extra patience. We’ll go over your pet’s routine, quirks, and any special needs at a free meet and greet before the first booking.

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! If you are anything like me, your furbabies are just as much a part of your family as anyone else. That is why I know you want the best care possible. Not only do I provide a fun, loving atmosphere, it is also safe and caring. I will treat them as well as I do my own. I have grown up with over 6 dogs (always having 2 at a time) and also with 4 cats. I currently have a 3 year old golden named Fax, and an 11 year old cat named Silver. Professionally, I have volunteered as well at the SPCA hospital and have finished my Veterinary Office Management certificate program at Mohawk College. Through Red Cross, I've attained my First Aid & CPR certification for cats and dogs. Over the past 12 years, I have worked at 4 different veterinary hospitals (emergency too), helping animals of all ages. Currently I'm at a physical rehabilitation facility for animals helping with pre and post op care - SO rewarding. I offer a variety of services; whether that be dog walks, cat visits, pet sitting, daycare, nail trims, brushing, bathing or post-op care. I look forward to doing business with you and your lovely animal/s in the near future! I work part time 2 - 3 days per week at an animal physical rehabilitation clinic, which leaves the rest of the time to help others pets. I even dog walk sometimes before work, during my lunches, or after work on those days too. I would treat them with the upmost kindness, so they keep their happy routine. I'm great with following all owners instructions (may get spoiled here and there if allowed!). I have a fenced yard, I enjoy going on leashed walks (working at a vet clinic I'm very weary of strangers dogs and can never be too careful - I do not do dog parks personally). If needed, I would see if they enjoy being brushed/cuddled or like their personal space. I always have my own forms filled out for my records so I know who to contact in case of emergencies, if they have allergies, if meds are needed, if they have a favourite toy etc.

Holly was great with my two cats during her drop-in visits! They’re usually pretty shy around new people, but they came out to greet her quickly. She was communicative and kept me updated, and I was confident they were being well taken care of. I came home to peaceful happy cats after my time away. I’d definitely book with her again!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Ancaster

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Ancaster is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $33 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.

There are 349 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Ancaster. About 90% of Ancaster 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 349 sitters in Ancaster, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

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.

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 Ancaster 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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
