“Sheila is so reliable, great with Cody and a wonderful communicator. I always feel so happy and relived when I get her notes after she visits. I look forward to booking her again.”
“Julia did an amazing job looking after our three cats. One of them is very shy and finicky but Julia knew how to handle that. She knows what to be observant of besides food and water and the initiative to take. Highly recommend Julia.”
“Yvonne has been absolutely wonderful while caring for our puppy Maple! She always went above and beyond to ensure Maple was well taken care of while my husband and I were at work, gave excellent daily reports, and she always ensured to incorporate and reinforce our training. Yvonne was flexible with her timing and understood if things came up and/ or was flexible and able to add visits as needed. I would HIGHLY recommend Yvonne, we would have no hesitation hiring her again! Thanks so much Yvonne!!”
“Jocelyn is great with my puppy. Right away I could tell my puppy would be in good hands with her when we met for a meet and greet, my puppy was instantly comfortable around her. She is caring and kind and takes good care of my puppy when she comes for a drop-in visit. Jocelyn responds quickly to requests and is great to work with.”
“Lisa took care of our cat Winston for us while we were away. He can be a very rambunctious cat and finding someone who was very clearly comfortable with cats like Lisa is was very important to us. We go lots of pictures and videos and we’re really able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in good hands!”
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.
“Riley has been an amazing help with my small families life changes. She's flexible, punctual, and great at assisting using this app for us less tech savvy. Clearly has a big heart for the furry ones. Provides lots of details with pics every visit. I would recommend to anyone!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Morgan as our cat sitter! She is truly amazing — caring, reliable, and incredibly loving with our two boys. Every time we go away, we have full peace of mind knowing they’re in the best hands. Morgan goes above and beyond, always sending us the sweetest updates and photos, which we really appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats our cats like her own. We couldn’t ask for better care. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years and treat every pet like family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with medical or special care needs. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, following special diets, maintaining routines, and caring for pets recovering from illness or surgery. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I tailor every visit to their individual personality and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and one-on-one attention while you’re away. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to build trust, reduce stress, and make each visit a positive experience. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re home again. I’m available every weekend and also offer weekday visits by request, depending on my schedule. I carefully plan my bookings so every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I strive to be punctual, reliable, and consistent with your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I primarily provide pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain feeding and medication schedules, provide exercise, enrichment, and companionship, and monitor for any changes in behaviour or health. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Home boarding may also be available by request for compatible pets after a meet-and-greet, depending on the pet’s temperament, needs, and availability.
“We love the write ups Kirstyn leaves us after each visit and all the photos she sends. We always look forward to receiving them. She also leaves our house tidy and cleans their bowls which is above and beyond for us.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond and was so wonderful with our cat, he absolutely loved her. She was a pleasure to work with and made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend her!”
“Sarah was great and very personable. I was a little worried that my shy cat wouldn’t welcome her but boy was I wrong, he absolutely loved it. Will definitely book again in the future.”
About: Lover of all types of animals. I grew up on a farm, so I have experience caring for all types of animals since I was young. Dogs and cats, livestock, and small pets. I have a dog, a cat, and 2 rats of my own. I’ve spent the last few years dog sitting for family friends, and I have personal experience with small animal care. I am passionate about the welfare of all animals, and I would be honoured to be trusted with the care of your fur babies. I work part time on the weekends, so I am free all week for pet care. If you book with me during the weekend, the longest your pet will spend alone is 4-6 hours. I have experience caring for various types of pets with many different routines and requirements. I adapt well to the pet’s routine, and I can provide free care for plants or fish while in the home. I have experience administering medication to many types of animals, and I am happy to provide frequent updates on your pets care if you would like.
About: I’ve cared for pets of many different species from large and small dogs to cats, bunnies, and fish since I was 10 years old. Because of this, I'm comfortable with handling different temperaments, routines, and specialized care needs! While I love pets of all shapes and sizes, I have more experience with larger breeds, but I thrive with low to medium energy dogs. That said, I grew up with a Doberman, a Belgian Malinois, and a French Mastiff. I am very familiar with both high-drive breeds and gentle giants. I actually formed the strongest bond with my French Mastiff over our shared love of sleeping! As I’m not in school at the moment I currently have an open and highly flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet's routine and needs. My main commitment outside of pet sitting is caring for my own pets at home, my cat and three bunnies! Because my time is so flexible, I can offer dedicated time, attentive care, and flexible drop-in or sitting hours. I prioritize communication, safety, and respect for your home! I’ll send frequent photo and video updates so you know your pet is thriving. Before any booking, I make sure to write down all key details, including your pet's routine, feeding instructions, emergency contacts, and household rules so everything runs smoothly!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ancaster
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!
Marisa was absolutely wonderful with our two fur babies while we were away on vacation. Thanks to her, we were completely tension free the entire time. She is incredibly kind, caring , and truly amazing with pets. Marisa has a warm, and attentive attitude, and communication with her was always easy and reassuring. We felt confident leaving our pets in her loving hands. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
