“I left Trudy in the care of my injured dog who was recovering from surgery and he couldn’t have been in better hands. She was very careful with his routine and medication and she treated my house with respect.”
“Christine was phenomenal, cannot recommend enough! Lots of updates, took detailed notes, and sent so many pictures and videos. The animals absolutely loved her and it was so nice to have a worry-free weekend, knowing my dogs and cats were in the very best hands! Will absolutely book again 😊”
“Neveah was amazing! She took such good care of our home and animals. It was such a weight off our shoulders to have someone so responsible look after things while we were away. We’re repeat customers and our animals adore her. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Wonderful and caring person.”
“Johanne has a beautiful calm energy. My complicated Mr Squish sat with her on the first visit which says alot about her character. We look forward to her next stay which is already booked. Merci !!”
About: I have always had a dog in my world. Being outside with them, and going on nature walks is the best; along with all the smiles and comfort they bring! No matter the distance, time spent outdoors with a pup always brings so much joy. Unfortunately, within the last year my family hasn’t had a pup around. They both had some health concerns. They were such a joy! That being said, I can’t wait to meet your pup/ dogs! At this time Thursday-Saturday evenings are best for over-nights. Weekends are also a time when I am free. If there were to be additional needed time given, I could potentially be available. I am also available for drop-ins and walks weekdays after 3:00 p.m. I would make sure that they have time to play around outside and then have a nap inside :) more outside time afterwards of course! I would play with them inside and give treats and meals as indicated from owner. With having two labs I understand dietary needs and can aid to those needs as-well.
About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and would be so happy to care for your furry friend! 🐶 I’ve had my own Pit Bull since he was a puppy, and I’ve been actively involved in his training and everyday care. I’m comfortable handling a strong, energetic dog and have experience with both big and small breeds. I also regularly walk my neighbours’ and friends’ dogs. I’m patient, responsible and treat every dog with love, attention and respect. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, playtime, cuddles and care while you’re away! 🐾💕 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry friend! I have lots of availability for dog walking, pet sitting and boarding in my home. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime and love. Whether your pup needs a quick walk or lots of activity throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their needs! 🐾 I live in a spacious apartment with my own friendly dog, and I can keep the dogs safely separated if your pup prefers their own space or is uncomfortable around other dogs. There is also a small dog park right next door for supervised play and exercise. The Aylmer Marina is about a 10-minute walk away, so I can also offer longer walks and plenty of outdoor time. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first, and I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and cared for while they’re with me! 🐶💕
“Kayla was very communicative while we were gone. She was very responsive from the beginning and scheduling our first meet and greet was stress free. I would highly recommend Kayla as a pet sitter for a stress free vacation!”
About: I love all animals and practice a dedicated vegan lifestyle since 2012. I have owned three dogs, one cat, four rabbits in my lifetime. Sometimes our home has a caged bunny that gets along with other animals. I enjoy being outdoors and being active, so your pet will be well exercised if they like that. I work from home and can be with your pet all day. I also love cats and your cat will have sunny spots to lounge in the home. I will only board one animal at a time, so there will be no sharing of attention or spaces with other animals (except maybe 1 bunny). I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I work from home five days a week. If needed, I can crate your pup if I step out, or at bedtime if that's the routine they follow I love the outdoors and walking in all seasons. With your permission we can drive to the trails, but there are also nearby parks and trails. For quick bathroom breaks there is a fenced dog area close by. I will pick up their business when outdoors whether in the bush or on a trail walk. My home is well kept with no dangerous chemicals, and is a meat-free home as well (so no raw meat for dinner please). There is one other adult in the home that also loves animals so your pup will be well cared for with lots of attention.
“Abigail was a great pet sitter for our fur babies. Kept us updated with messages and pics while we were away which alleviated any concerns we had about our dogs. Our flight was delayed a few days and Abigail kindly accommodated our request for an extension and the transfer of our dogs to a family member. Left our house spotless. We will definitely be calling on her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my ability to tailor to each pet’s unique personality and needs. The animals care is my top priority Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my days around pets’ needs, making sure walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins are consistent and never rushed. I enjoy building my schedule in a way that keeps pets comfortable, calm, and well cared for. I provide personalized in-home pet care, including daily walks and attentive care for both cats and dogs, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while in my care.
About: Dogs have completely stolen my heart for as long as I can remember and caring for them is truly my happy place. I grew up in a loving home surrounded by dogs since the day I was born, always with two large breeds in the house at once. As an adult I have raised two sweet bully breeds of my own, one of them being a rescue. Along with that lifelong experience, I spent several years working at a busy dog daycare where I professionally cared for dogs of every age, size, and temperament. I’m skilled in positive reinforcement training, teaching new tricks, managing group play, and creating safe, calm environments tailored to each dog’s needs. I am also certified in dog CPR and first aid. This background gives me the confidence to care for pups at every stage of life! From energetic puppies full of zoomies to senior dogs who need extra patience, gentle care, and understanding. I bring both heart and real knowledge to every visit so your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work from home Monday - Friday, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are treated like part of the family, with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and cuddles. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to monitor their needs closely, notice any changes in behavior, and give them attention whenever they need it. I structure my day to include interactive play, calm cuddle time, and short walks to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and stimulated. Your pet will always have a safe, loving environment where they feel cared for and part of the household! I offer care both in my home and in your home, depending on what you and your dog are most comfortable with. No matter where they stay, every dog is treated with the same love, attention, and care. I understand that every dog and every situation is different, which is why I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I provide supervision, affection, playtime, and structure to create a happy and secure environment for every dog in my care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arnprior
April was just fantastic. It was our first time leaving our puppy alone so April showed up early to have him get to know her a bit before we left. She was so attentive and caring we felt completely at ease leaving. Our puppy fell asleep on her lap. He won’t even do that for us!!! Would highly recommend April to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thanks April!!
Having adopted Lucy only 3 weeks prior, it was important that my special girl be in good hands for the day. Lucy has a very sweet and gentle nature and Montana, clearly a dog lover, knew exactly how to to connect with her immediately. They became fast friends and spent a lovely day together. Montana sent me photo updates throughout the day which I greatly appreciated. Lucy was in very good hands with Montana. I recommend him without any hesitation and I will most definitely book him again as the need arises.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Arnprior maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Arnprior walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Arnprior 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
