“It was wonderful to have Andrea house sit our dogs while we were away for two weeks. She sent lots of photos and videos, and they looked like they were having fun and not missing us at all! The house was spotless when we returned.”
“Meghan house sat for us and watched Yogi - we left feeling confident that we left him in good hands! She updated us with photos of Yogi and we returned to a clean home and happy dog. We will definitely book with Meghan again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 4 years and have experience with a wide range of personalities, ages, and breeds. As the owner of a reactive Border Collie mix, I understand the importance of patience, structure, positive reinforcement, and reading canine body language. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, medication administration, feeding routines, enrichment activities, and daily exercise. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away I’m currently flexible and able to provide pet care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays with advance notice. As an active person who regularly walks, hikes, and trains with my own dog, I can accommodate dogs with varying exercise needs. I strive to maintain each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while their owners are away Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, triggers, preferences, and medical needs before providing care. I have experience handling nervous and reactive dogs and always use appropriate safety measures during walks and outings. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving attentive, compassionate care while you’re away. My approach is calm, patient, and focused on creating a positive experience for both pets and their owners
About: I've had the joy of caring for dogs for over 20 years, both my own and for friends and family. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve provided everything from playful walks to medication support and cozy cuddle time. I’m retired and home full time, so your dog will get lots of attention, regular potty breaks, and loving supervision throughout the day. What sets me apart is the calm, nurturing environment I provide. I treat every dog like part of the family! with patience, kindness, and affection. I understand that each pet has unique needs, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. Whether your pup needs a quiet place to relax, a slow paced walk, or just someone to sit with them on the couch, I’m here to help. My gentle nature and calm home are especially ideal for senior dogs, shy pups, or dogs who need a little extra reassurance while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As a dog owner and lover, I’m home full time and available throughout the day to give your pup the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening cuddle time, I’m here and fully present. My son Alexander also helps out daily, especially with walks, playtime, and making sure your dog gets plenty of attention and companionship. Between the two of us, your pet will never be left alone, we work together to keep their routine consistent, stress free, and full of love. Weekdays and weekends are both flexible for us, so we’re able to accommodate early drop offs & late pickups! I live in a quiet, pet friendly strata complex with a fenced grassy backyard, perfect for safe & supervised potty breaks and some fresh air. When more activity is needed, I take dogs on leashed walks in our peaceful neighborhood to give them a change of scenery and a chance to stretch their legs. Inside, there’s plenty of room for zoomies, toys, and relaxed downtime. I keep the home calm, clean, and free of hazards, and I always make sure your pet has a cozy space to feel safe and comfortable. Your dog will be supervised throughout the day and never left alone for long. I also believe that clear communication is key. I’ll always ask about your dog’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. Whether it's feeding times, potty routines, or favorite toys, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home. Your pup's well being, safety, and happiness are my top priorities and with my son Alexander helping me every step of the way, your furry friend will always have a familiar, caring presence by their side.
About: I'm just as happy taking a dog out on an adventure exploring new environments as I am giving them a calm, relaxed day at home I'm currently back at school and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize walks, check ins, and quality time throughout the day rather than trying to squeeze it in I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-freebasb possible, whether they're in my home or theirs. I follow feeding schedules closely, make sure they get the right amount of exercise and spend equality time with them do they feel comfortable and secure.
“Kevin came and met our dogs a few times before dog/house sitting. He showed a genuine interest and liking to each of them. He took notes to make sure he remembered the important things. While away he sent multiple updates, pictures and videos illustrating his interaction with them. It sure eased any anxiety of leaving them. Would highly recommend Kevin to care for home and your dogs.”
“Megan was Awesome! She was on time and had positive energy. She did everything I asked like taking all the pics I asked for, being sweet to Tonka and feeding him ect. Thanks Megan!!”

“We can't thank Christina enough for taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog (Bailey) on our wedding day! Christina took the initiative to meet Bailey ahead of the wedding day to make sure she knew all important information and so Bailey would feel the most comfortable. She also provided us with ample updates and photos- we couldn't ask for a better dogsitter, highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals throughout my life and currently have 5 cats. Family, friends, and neighbours trust me to pet sit often, and I have also volunteered with an animal shelter twice weekly in the past. I work 2 days a week and take school online.

My cats are indoor, but we allow them supervised visits on the balcony as well as in the backyard (sometimes leashed.) I am adaptable and happy to give whatever care is required. I take care of my neighbours two senior pets (cat & dog) and am able to give them the specific care they need. I’m super flexible and love animals so whatever is needed, I’ll do it!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bell Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 293 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bell Acres. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bell Acres 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.
Tip: 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 Bell Acres 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 Bell Acres 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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
