“Very friendly, easy to communicate with. Informed us of a potential health issue with our dog Lzzy while out on their walk. Took very good care of our girl while we were out.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for 11 years now. I started with my brother's dog, then got my own, and also have dog-sat for other relatives. I have experience in dog walking, feeding, senior care, and administering medication. I'm currently self-employed as a property manager of my rental property next door and am working from home as a creative. My schedule is flexible. I am free daily for dog walks and drop-in visits. I will respect your home as if it were mine and make sure to leave it how I found it. If any issues come up I'll make sure to communicate clearly with you.
“We are so thankful we found Gabrielle. She was incredibly organized and made us feel so confident leaving Obi in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates and made sure he was feeling very loved. We look forward to working with her again!”
“Would 100% recommendation Rachel. She took great care of our pets on our weekend away. Our house was exactly as we left it and our pets were happy! Reliable and responsible, I would have no trouble recommending Rachel and would certainly hire her again should the opportunity arise!”
“Becky was absolutely exceptional in caring for my dogs. She went above and beyond, visiting three different times before the actual weekend to get to know them and ensure everything was in place. She’s intelligent, attentive, and asks all the right questions. Throughout the weekend, Becky’s communication was outstanding—she provided regular updates that gave me complete peace of mind. My two Golden Retrievers have since fallen completely in love with her! I would highly recommend Becky for any animal care needs. She’s a lovely, trustworthy person, and I had zero worries leaving my dogs in her care.”
About: My dad is a retired veterinarian and we always had a dog (or three) at home growing up. One of my first jobs as a young teenager was dog walking and house sitting for a dog. In my early 20s, I used to manage a dog kennel, with 15+ adult dogs and many puppies under my care, with the help of a dedicated human team. Health checks, administering medications, day-to-day care, etc. I have volunteered at a wildlife sanctuary for one summer. I helped care for a large variety of native animals, including turtles, squirrels, birds, etc. I took part in cleaning, feeding and some first aid. I had my most-beloved dog, named Koda, who had Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I protected his quality of life to the best of my abilities and treated many of his minor injuries myself until one major incident took him from me. I currently have a six year old miniature dachshund, Scarlet, and a four year old golden doodle, Teddy. My husband owns and runs a bird control and conservation business. He currently has two birds of prey on his team that I help out with on occasion. I am confident I can care for most types of animals. I will care for your animals like they are my family too. I’m a stay-at-home mom who helps out with my husband’s bird control and conservation business as needed. I have a two year old who can stay with my husband or his parents during my animal support for you. I grew up with horses, pot-bellied pigs, dogs, cats, even lambs at one point. I am detail-oriented and have learned from a young age about making sure doors and gates are open and immediately shut to keep all animals safe and where they need to be. I am familiar with crating animals as needed, having crated my own dogs and worked in a kennel.

About: Well versed with dog walks and ideally a walk is for about 1/2 hour and depends as well on the fitness goals of your pet. Area taken for walk will be discussed with the owner first and then finalised ( prefer taking the pet walking in known places in beginning and incorporate new places gradually). A lot of times when we become busy with work, we tend to forget that all our pets have is us. This is my brainchild wherein i take your pets to a place other than his daily place (I.e. a dog park, a pet cafe). Aim is to help him/her socialise, step out of his comfort zone as well as spend solo time with him . I adore pets and prefer being around dogs rather than humans. My motivation is my pet dog back in the home country. For me dog sitting fills the part of me that misses my dog back in my home country and will genuinely make me feel happy if my spend my time walking dogs or any job related to dogs. As I am a student, my time is quite flexible! I am available 7 days a week ( Mornings & Evenings) Also open to other timings if informed in advance. As a dedicated and experienced dog sitter, I provide top-notch care for pets both in my home and my client's home. When your beloved furry friend stays with me, they become part of our family, receiving personalized attention and love. In my home: - I ensure a safe and pet-friendly environment, with ample space for play and relaxation. - Daily walks, exercise, and playtime are incorporated into their routine to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. - Regular feeding times are maintained, following the owner's instructions and dietary preferences. - Your dog will have a cozy, designated space to rest, complete with comfortable bedding and toys. - Medications, if required, will be administered promptly and accurately, adhering to the owner's guidelines.
About: It all started with rabbits when I was a 4 year old. My dad bred them and we had well over 60 at one point. I had a pair of baby ducks when I was 8 years old. Then along came my budgie when I was 10. I have a lifelong experience of caring for many different types of pets. In the past I have had rabbits, ducks, a budgie, cockatiels, finches, rats, and aquariums. I took riding lessons as a teen and worked on the horse farm to pay for my lessons. I also have experience with exotic animals as I worked for a short time in a zoo. I have owned 5 dogs. A Husky (who lived to 15), an Australian Shepherd (who passed at age 12 from cancer), a sports mix - Border Collie/Staff/Russel (who passed at 14.5 from CHF), another Australian Shepherd (who passed at 11 from cancer), and I currently have a male Australian Shepherd. I work part time throughout the winter and have a tourism business during the summer. My work schedule is generally 4-6 hour days with a few off during the week. Your pet's care would fit in with my own pet's care. My dog is young and energetic and loves to play with other dogs. We hike most days in the woods surrounding the house. I have a pup who loves other dogs (he would have to come with me for overnight visits). He is playful and affectionate. I have 20 acres of woods to walk in (plus access to my neighbour's trails) and live on a small lake if your dog enjoys swimming. I am very knowledgeable in the care and training of animals, especially dogs and will be taking a first aide course when one comes available. I am very diligent about keeping dogs away from the road and they are always on a leash or longline.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Belleville
I had a great experience with her as a dog sitter! She was reliable, caring, and made me feel comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. Everything went really well, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
We are so happy to have found Avery! We needed a last minute house sitter for our destructive German Shepherd puppy and Avery confidently stepped up to help us. It was a slightly nerve racking for us as a family to have someone we didn’t know staying in our home and caring for our dog for a week and Avery was so skilled in putting us at ease through her communication, openness, and obvious care. Broccoli had a great, enriching week with her and we’re happy to have now found such great care for him.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Belleville 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 Belleville 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 Belleville 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
