“Lisette was wonderful with our crew! Managing 4 dogs including 1 puppy and 2 blind ones is a challenge but she handled them like a pro. We would highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of the family pets from puppy age all the way through to seniors since I was a kid. We always had dogs and rabbits growing up, and I love the company of pets and to entertain them. I have a huge soft spot for feline friends! I take special care learning how to approach and respect animals, nervous animals tend to feel safe around me which is awesome and a testament to my character and learning. I work full time so have weekends free at the moment, specifically Saturday and Sunday. I can do evenings during the week and usually have a day wfh every week. When I had my own pets I would prioritise them and ensure they had everything they needed. I ensure that escape artists are safe and can't get out, I also am clued up on what most pets should and shouldn't eat! Also aware of when pets are appearing unwell.
“This is the first time Sheila has dropped in to visit Cody. From the moment I reached out to her, she was very responsive and great with communication. And when we met her, she was very professional and you could tell she was very at ease with dogs, given her extensive experience sitting for all manner of pets. The initial visit went well and we already have her booked for the next one.”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Hi hi! I’m Kaitlyn (but you can call me Kate!) 😊 Reliable, routine focused care with lots of updates (and cute photos, of course). I’m a lifelong dog lover and have a 10 year old puggle named Jude (named after Hey Jude!), so I really understand how important it is to trust the person coming into your home and caring for your pet. I mainly focus on dog walking and drop-in visits, especially for busy schedules where you just need someone reliable to show up and take care of things. Whether it’s a morning walk, a quick check in, or just giving your dog some attention, company, and playtime, I’m happy to adjust to what they need. I’ve spent years around dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always aim to keep things calm, consistent, and stress free for them. I’m very dependable, so you can count on me to be on time and take great care of your pet every visit. I love a good photo op, so I’ll always keep you in the loop with updates and photos so you don’t have to wonder how things are going! A bit about me & my availability: • Monday–Friday mornings (early morning–1pm) • Weekends by request • Non-smoker • Comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and basic medication I’d love to meet you and your pet(s) and see if it’s a good fit 🤍 I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll always take care of them like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work afternoons, so I’m available weekday mornings (early morning-1pm), which allows me to consistently offer walks and drop-in visits while people are at work. I start my day walking my own dog, so adding in walks and check-ins for your pet fits naturally into my schedule. I’m also available on weekends by request. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, water, walks, and any specific needs your pet may have. I take a calm, attentive approach and always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and secure before I leave. I’m also mindful of your home... making sure doors are locked, things are left as I found them, and everything is in order. You can expect clear communication, updates, and photos after each visit so you always know how things are going. I treat every pet and home with the same care I would my own.
“Thank you Kirstyn for taking care of my two kitties while I was away on a longer trip, they really enjoyed your company! I appreciate the daily updates, great photos and very clear and timely communication, would definitely love to have you as their sitter again”
“We are so lucky to have had Nikolai watch our cats while we were away. He went above and beyond to fulfill all our cats' care needs, which was a big list since are cats are older and one is still recovering from recent acute kidney failure. We have already asked him to come back to look after our cats and Collie dog for our next holiday trip. Thank you, Nikolai!”
“Madison was absolutely wonderful! She accommodated all of our requests on a short timeline as it was best for Maple and even offered to do some grooming for us which looked great :) thank you so much for a great week! We will be sure to book again if we need help in the future!!”
“Samantha is a totally responsible dependable person, and from the photographs it looked like Dolly Nefertiti, my cat, was falling in love with her given those googly eyes...which she does not do for everyone. Thank you Samantha.”
About: I have a background as a veterinary assistant with hands-on experience caring for animals in a clinical setting, including monitoring health, feeding, cleaning, and administering medications. I’ve also grown up in a home with 3+ pets at all times, so I’m very comfortable with busy, multi-pet households. I’m confident with pets of all temperaments and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. My background helps me notice small changes in behavior or health, ensuring your pet is always safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently in my exam season for university so my schedule is a little all over the place. As of right now I’m free throughout the week depending on what days I have an exam. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining a clean and safe environment. With my veterinary assistant experience, I’m confident monitoring health, recognizing any changes in behavior, and administering medications if needed. Whether it’s energetic playtime or calm companionship, I adapt my care to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I had a German Shepherd for 12 years and now walk a Labadoodle everyday. I'm looking to walk and care for more dogs to fill my time. I'm retired and love to walk and hike. Bringing a dog along would make the walk even better. Available at all times of the day. My home is fenced and safe. I walk or care for one dog at a time. I have experience with larger dogs and will exercise caution when needed.
About: I’ve taken care of animals, included long term overnight stay since my teenage years. I’m an animal lover through in through, pets are the best I have a flexible remote job, and therefore I am available any time of day with sufficient notice for walks or pop ins, day and night. Having cats of my own, my house is already pet friendly. I have nearby dog parks and I am willing to go on long walks to keep your pet happy.
“This was my first experience using Rover and Danielle made it the best possible ! She is an incredibly sweet and kind animal lover who made sure Emmie & Greycy had lots of attention during her visits. I really loved that she sent me a short message and picture while I was away to let me know everything was ok. She is 100% reliable and dependable. I won't hesitate to ask her to look after my girls again and know that I can go away without stressing about their care.”
“This was our first time leaving our 4-month old puppy alone for more than 2 hours. Melina was communicative and patient with our sometimes hyper pup. She walked, fed, played, kept her calm and took her for bathroom breaks. I came home to a sleeping puppy and felt way less stressed knowing she had someone responsible and kind to check in on her.”

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.

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.

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.
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.
