“Anne was an amazing house and cat sitter for us. Before our trip, she was very thorough and asked thoughtful questions about our home and how to care for our fur baby, Nova. We really appreciated how attentive and prepared she was. It gave us confidence that everything would be well taken care of while we were away. During the stay, Anne provided daily updates and handled everything around the house seamlessly. It was such a relief knowing Nova was in great hands. We came home to a happy cat and a perfectly looked after home. I would absolutely recommend Anne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring house or cat sitter, and we’re already looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”

“Lorin is amazing. We are going away again for a longer trip and wanted to do a practise before. The dogs were so happy in the pictures she sent and when we got back it was clear they had been very well taken care of. Both need a little extra assistance from most dogs and she used our instructions to a T! Thanks again Lorin!”

About: IG: Lady.rav | FB: Raveen walks dogs - Halton & area Dogs are my happy place — I’ve always felt at home around them. I’ve owned four German Shepherds, all rescues, and have done a mix of personal and professional training with them (including one with dog aggression). Those experiences taught me how to understand dogs deeply, from their body language to the way they respond to human energy. I’m active, love hiking, and think everything is more fun with a four‑legged friend beside me. Dogs usually settle quickly around me and feel comfortable, which makes walks, playtime, and downtime easy and enjoyable. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or calm structure, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m currently building my consulting business, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility during the week to focus on caring for furry loved ones. On weekends, I volunteer helping abuse survivors move into safe housing during the day, so my evenings remain open and available for walks, drop‑ins, and overnight care. My schedule allows me to be consistently present, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language and needs. I double‑check doors, gates, and safety details, and keep communication open so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is a calm, secure environment where your dog can relax and you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I have been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life and have always considered them part of the family. I would love to use my experience and passion for animals to help families who are short on time, travelling, or simply need some extra support with their pets. I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medications and injections to sick or injured pets belonging to family and friends. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and dependable caring for your pets. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive, and I will treat your pet with the same love, care, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work four days a week and I’m able to check on your animals anytime after 5 PM (Monday-Thursday). Full availability Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I’m also able to stay at your home if preferred. I will provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I will follow each pet’s routine as requested and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I’m also comfortable providing medication and injections when needed and will keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family—with patience, love, and lots of care.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. Growing up with five family dogs, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience providing love, exercise, and daily care. While attending university, my roommates and I rescued a senior stray cat and ensured he received the veterinary care and loving home he needed. My best friend and I also adopted a rescue dog with behavioural challenges, and through patience, consistency, and understanding, we helped him build trust and significantly improve his behaviour. I currently help care for our two family poodles and my boyfriend’s cat. With over 20 years of experience caring for animals of different ages, personalities, and needs, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own! I work full-time Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with every other Friday off. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting outside of my regular working hours, including evenings, weekends, and my scheduled Fridays off. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and am happy to coordinate care around your pet’s routine. For house sitting, I can provide overnight companionship and care while maintaining my regular work schedule. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs to make sure we’re a great fit! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! Having grown up caring for animals and currently sharing responsibility for two family poodles, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I provide care in your pet’s familiar home environment, following their usual feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual personality, comfort level, and needs, and always approach pets with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. I also respect your home and will treat both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away!

About: Your pups paradise🐾: a calm, quiet, child-free cozy oasis. No other pets = full attention for your pup🐶 Experience caring for puppies and aging dogs. We plan to adopt our own puppy soon but in the meantime would be so excited to visit with your fur baby!☺️ We both work from home and have a fenced in yard so your pup will get lots of attention and outdoor time. 🍃We love to go for walks (quiet streets and trails nearby). Your dog is welcome to make themselves at home and snuggle up on the couch🤍. Always will be supervised in the fenced in yard and get lots of walks. It’s not necessary to be in the crate as we have areas of the house where your pup can roam safely.

About: With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in puppy training and gentle senior care, including medication administration. I love long walks and tailor each day to your dog's energy, routine, and comfort, so they feel safe and happy while you're away. I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to do boarding during the weekdays and weekends! I am also an early riser, so morning walks are my favourite. Walks- 2 dogs at a time at most as long as their temperament and energy match. Boarding- 1 dog per stay to ensure they feel safe and comfortable with no other stressors from being away from home.

About: Your pup gets the best of both worlds! 🐾 I’m a veterinary technician and hospital manager, so I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to sweet seniors and dogs who need a little extra TLC. My husband is a full-time dog walker, so there’s always someone around for walks, cuddles, playtime, and little adventures! ✨ We love making dogs feel like part of the family — whether that means zoomies in the yard, a cozy cuddle session, or being their personal treat-tasting assistant. 🐶💕 Our goal? Happy pups, wagging tails, tired-out toes, and a dog who’s already wondering when they get to come back! 🐾 🐾 Pets are part of our everyday life! My husband is home regularly, so your pup or kitty gets plenty of company, attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Caring for animals is second nature to us. Between walks, cuddles, playtime, and relaxing together, we make sure your pet gets the love and care they deserve. We want every pet to feel like part of the family — not just a place to stay, but a true home away from home! ❤️🐶🐱 🐾 A safe, cozy home with plenty to explore! We’re on the first floor of our apartment, making quick potty breaks and outdoor time super easy. We’re also right near a beautiful ravine, so there are lots of walks, sniffing, exploring, and adventures waiting just outside our door! 🌿🐶 Inside, pets are treated like family and get plenty of love, attention, and supervision. We keep things calm, clean, and comfortable while making sure every pet feels safe and gets to enjoy their stay at their own pace. ❤️🐾

“Xenia is a very kind, sweet person and absolutely the best pet sitter! She was very communicative and kept us updated throughout the day with photos & texts, and left our place just as we had left it, but cleaner! It was great to see that our Frenchie Emmett, and all 3 cats really took to her, and we could relax knowing they were being well cared for! We highly recommend Xenia for house sitting and will definitely book her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Leiker. Although this is my first time walking or watching dogs professionally, I’ve grown up always having one of my own, and am the proud current owner of a cockapoo that I rescued. I understand how hard being away from your pets can be, and that struggle is only made worse when you have to trust them with a stranger. That is why I am fully committed to building a relationship of trust and friendship with whom ever I work with. I am available for walks and sitting any time of the day, and am more than happy to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to working with you and your pet, and making sure you both always feel comfortable with me. Available from home any time of the day and fairly flexible in terms of getting around. Happy to take care of your pets wherever you see fit. I keep my condo clean and free of hazards for pets. I live close to a park (St. James) and always keep an eye out for stray food or choking hazards.

“Paige put our minds totally at ease while caring for our 2 large dogs and our cat. She sent me plenty of updates and photos which was greatly appreciated. She stayed in our home so the dogs would be more comfortable, had them out for plenty of walks and playtime and even sat with my extremely picky eater so that he would finish his meal. It's always tough to leave your fur babies but we knew they were in great hands. We will definitely use Paige in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”

Leanne was a very thoughtful and conscientious caregiver for our two cats! The frequent, daily updates were appreciated and helpful. All tasks were completely professionally and with care. Even our more finicky and temperamental warmed up to Leanne towards the end of the caregiving experience, which speaks to her knowledge and wisdom as to how to best support the different types of cats she's encountered. My wife and I would definitely book Leanne again the next time we are travelling. Thank you, Leanne!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ash

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ash 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 Ash 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 Ash 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. 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.
