“Auntie Lori was great with our little dude Oscar. She played ball with him until she started to have a Popeye arm!! Oscar was cuddling beside Lori, looking very content when we got home. We'll definitely use Lori's services again, and in fact she's already booked with us for a couple more stays. Carol, Andy, and Oscar”
“We have used Erica multiple times now and she is awesome! Our dog gets the royal treatment with Erica which makes going away on holiday worry free. Thanks Erica you are great!”
“Weihan was very thoughtful and thorough. Given that our fur baby was in recovery, he took extra precautions to help us and making sure we feel at ease while out taking care of other stuff. Will def reach out again in the future.”
“It was an absolute pleasure to have Mélanie house and pet sit our two pups - an Irish Doodle and a Maltese. From the time we had our initial meet and great, we felt extremely confident about leaving our house and pets in her care. She kept us up to date with wonderful pictures and reports - both of which were comforting while on our trip. Upon our return the house was perfectly clean and our dogs were so very happy. Mélanie even took the time to water our plants both inside and out. Definitely a 10/10 rating for service. We were so pleased with her visit that we have already booked our future trip!”
About: I have been a volunteer dog foster in Ottawa for more than 8 years now! No matter the injury, background, or breed, I have learnt to deal with them all. Pet care fills easily in my life as I have been doing it for awhile now! I do work a part-time job and will need to leave for around 5 hours in the day but just me about dates and times and I will adjust my schedule ! I treat everyone with respect! I don’t overcrowd or intrude but make you and your pet feel comfortable in my presence. Frequent contact and communication is a valuable skill of mine
“Rebeca was fantastic—kind, reliable, and great with Meeko. She sent regular updates and photos, took him on lots of walks, and kept everything in perfect shape at home. I had total peace of mind and would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Neeru did a great job with my two busy huskies, one of which has way too much energy. That was for three weeks too. My home was well looked after, laundry done, a broken jug replaced, vacuumed and plants water. On my busy boy’s birthday, Neeru gave him treats and a new toy as a gift. We would love to have Neeru back next time.”
“Hayley stayed with our dog for three nights and sent us amazing pics each day. The house was exactly how we left it and you could tell from the photos that Charley warmed right up to her. We will definitely be using Hayley again. You can tell she takes great care of the animals she watches and the houses too!”
About: I’ve had two dogs my entire childhood and took in a senior rescue dog named Maggie, so I have experience with dogs from puppies to seniors. I have trained two dogs and love taking care of my friends and families’ dogs. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine because I have completed school for summer and am umemployed. This allows me to dedicate a of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks, and I can adapt to each pet's specific needs. I am super flexible and I enjoy spending time with animals since I am around one already 24/7(my dog Jessie). I am very attentive and trustworthy and I love to take dogs on walks often. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow each pet owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise routines, and any special requirements.
“Amazing dog sitter!! Celia kept me updated the entire stay with my dogs She sent photos and texted me about what was happening. She communicated well, and was patient and respected Filo space, until she was ready to be around. My house was at the same way we left, tidy and clean. Would definitely recommend her and rebook with her!”
About: Hello, my name is Sarah! I am 26 years old and residing in Ottawa, ON. I am an animal lover all-around, but have a special soft spot for dogs! I do not currently have any pets but have grown up and spent my whole life around dogs & cats. I understand the feeling of an animal being more than a pet, but rather a member of the family. I have previously owned large dogs, therefore I consider myself to be fully capable and comfortable caretaking for your larger/ stronger pets too. I have experience with retrievers, huskies, Irish wolfhounds, golden doodles, black toy poodles, German shepherds, Swiss mountain dogs, and lots more! Summer availability: I am currently available any day of the week, at any time of the day. From Sept 2026 availability will change as I am currently a student at Algonquin College. I am very involved in the care I provide & love to give pets the attention they require. I am trustworthy & capable of following client’s regular care routine for their pets. I am more than capable of exercising & walking pets as well.
“We were so happy to have Jennifer stay with us and watch over our dog. It was so nice to go away and feel that our dog was in good hands! We also loved getting updates and pictures on how our dog was doing! We will definitely have Jennifer back to watch over our dog Thank you again Jennifer!”
“Lorraine is amazing! This is the second time she has stayed at our house with our dogs. We have 3 dogs (including a 6 month old puppy) and when we returned home from vacation, our dogs were happy, content and exhausted from all the walks Lorraine took them on. It gives us such peace of mind to know they’re in great hands with Lorraine.”
“I was more than pleased at how thorough and helpful Pratik and his wife were during our 21 day absence from home. He adjusted to each of our two dogs' personalities and sent pictures of them to us. The house was left in excellent condition, clean and organized. Pratik kept in regular communication with us so we never had any worries. I have no hesitation in recommending Pratik for any house sitting assignment.”
“Megan was absolutely fantastic. She treated our two French bulldogs like her own. They received so much love and attention while we were away. She updated us daily and made us feel so at ease leaving our dogs with her. While we were away Doug had two seizures and Megan handled them like a true professional. She contacted our emergency contact and was able to follow the vets orders and increase his medication making sure he was safe and comfortable. Having her watch our dogs while we were away was absolutely invaluable and it provided us with ease knowing our dogs were well cared for. We returned to a clean home and two happy dogs! We will absolutely be using her services again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. Thank you Megan!!!”
“Katryna was a wonderful dog, cat, and house sitter! We were very grateful to have her through an emergency flooding event, where she called in her family to support and managed our neighbours and families coming to help as well. She took wonderful care of our animals during regular circumstances and went above and beyond to support in an emergency. 100% will be hoping to book Katryna again.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 15years for close friends and family, always taking good routine care and also provided specialized services such as taking dogs to veterinary visits and done international travelling with pets. Grew up in a furry friendly home, normally three dogs. I work from home and always available to play with your puppy. I normally take my dog Penny for bio breaks 3 times a day and we have one longer trail walk. I live in a spacious apartment with a family friendly dog and a toddler who loves to cuddle his furry friends. The apartment is located right next to a trail where we go for relaxing walks and enjoy beautiful sunsets. My dog is sprayed and is year long on Nexgard Spectra.

Megan came out for a meet and greet and then a trial walk before she spent a week looking after our dog, cats and home. Our dog seemed to really click with Megan. Megan was even able to make some progress over the week with our shy kitty Ruby. Thanks Megan for looking after our pets and our home!
Victoria looked after our cat and dog will we were away for a 2-week trip. We received almost daily photos and updates of what our two fur children were doing which we loved receiving. We will definitely ask her to watch our babies again. She is trust-worthy and caring. We could not have found anyone better!
Absolutely amazing. My dog is very old and she di an outstanding job keeping up with her needs and adjusting foods etc as necessary. Will book again. My house is somehow cleaner than when I left, she even stripped the sheets and prepped the laundry before she left

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bells Corners on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bells Corners 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 Bells Corners 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 Bells Corners 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
