“Kristina put our minds at ease while we were travelling by keeping us updated on everything happening at home. I was especially nervous about leaving our cats, and there ended up being a heat wave while we were away! Kristina sent several updates each day, complete with photos and notes about the cats' behaviour, which was incredibly reassuring. She followed our admittedly unusual feeding schedule perfectly and gave our cats so much love, playtime, and attention. She also kept us informed about how things were going around the house (thankfully it never got too hot inside!). It's clear that Kristina genuinely cares about both the pets and the homes she looks after. She took exceptional care of our cats and our home, and we returned to two happy, relaxed cats and a house that was just as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thank you, Kristina!”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life! My best friend growing up was ace sum is my Boston terrier/French bulldog mix! He is now 16 and has given me some senior care skills! I have been watching and taking care of dogs for neighbours and friends ever since I was 14! Just recently trained my partners golden retriever red fox lab puppy! Love teaching dogs new tricks, playing fetch or cuddling up to watch a movie! Whatever best suits your pup:) I am a flight attendant! My schedule is kind of all over the place but want to spend my days off with your furry friend! My schedule Varys month to month but can be flexible! I will take your furry friend on walks! Play fetch in your yard (if fenced) play indoors whatever I can do to get them active!
About: Hi, I’m Ella! I have 5 years of hands-on pet care experience ranging from small, fluffy companions to large, energetic dogs and gentle seniors.I am the proud owner of a 3-year-old Maltipoo, so I am very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, regular brushing, bathing, and even teeth cleaning! Recently, I’ve also looked after a diverse pack of three dogs together—including two large 4-year-old brothers and a sweet 10-year-old senior. This taught me how to balance different energy levels and make sure every dog gets the exact care, exercise, and attention they need. I am fully available all day on weekends and during weekday evenings (after 5:00 PM / 8:00 PM). I have reliable transportation during these hours, making me the perfect fit for your weekend trips, dinner-time feedings, or late-night check-ins! My Personal Pet Care Philosophy:I provide comprehensive, attentive care tailored to each pet's unique routine. For my own companion, this includes structured 30-minute daily walks, engaging indoor games for mental stimulation, regular feeding schedules, and essential hygiene maintenance like bathing and oral care. Above all, I prioritize deep companionship and plenty of affection so pets always feel safe and loved.My Approach to Client Care:When managing multiple pets, I excel at diversifying my attention to meet every animal's individual personality and age-related needs. I actively engage and burn off energy with high-strung dogs, provide a calm and reassuring presence for relaxed pets, and deliver the gentle, patient care required for seniors. No matter the pack dynamic, I ensure every pet receives their proper meals, routine care, and focused individual attention.
“Paula was excellent! We had to go away and needed a sitter over night for our boy and she was phenomenal. We got updates throughout the evening and morning after, pictures of our dog and her together and I know he got lots of love! She is very outgoing and I can tell my dog likes his new friend! I will definitely be going to Paula for any of our future needs!”
About: I have had dogs nearly my entire life and love their individual personalities and quirks. I have experience pilling animals, and can help trim nails/bathe pets as needed. I am available 24/7, 365, as long as I have proper notice. I know emergencies can happen and because I make my own work schedule, I can be available when you need. I have a one bedroom apartment, so would be best suited for cat sitting, small - medium sized dogs that would enjoy a residential neighborhood or small park walks. In your environment, I'm happy to follow any specific rules or needs you may have for home or pet care! There is no request too strange to ensure the safety and comfort for you and your animals!
“Aaron did a great job taking care of our 2 giant fur babies, our home and our plants! He provided updates and pictures and I felt secure that everything was well taken care of while we were away for 5 days. We came home to happy dogs, a clean house and peace of mind! I would happily hire him again next time we go away.”
About: Hi! I'm based in Brantford and provide dog walking, drop-in visits, cat care, and overnight house sitting. I've cared for animals throughout my life and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, medication support, litter box cleaning, or simply company while you're away, I aim to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I know how important updates are when you're away from your pet, so I make sure to send photos and messages throughout each booking. My goal is simple: to treat your pets with the same patience, care, and attention I'd want for my own. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I’ve made space in my daily routine for walks and drop-in visits that fit your pet’s schedule. I’m flexible and reliable, whether your pup needs a quick potty break, some mid-day exercise, or a little extra love while you’re out. While I don’t offer overnight stays, I make sure every visit is filled with care, attention, and consistency to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I use secure leashes and harnesses on every walk, and I’m always alert to our surroundings to keep your pet out of harm’s way. During pet sitting, I create a calm, loving environment where your pet can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow your instructions closely and treat your home with respect—like it’s my own. You can count on me to be reliable, gentle, and fully focused on your pet’s well-being at all times.
About: I’ve gotten experience with various animals over the years. I love to support them and help them feel happy and cared for. I’m careful not to teach bad habits. I listen to what they want and need. Tell me what you need and I can fit something in! I am available most of the time in someway - so we can work it out! I use a calm tone where I don’t overexcite the animal and provide good manners reinforcement and also play and engagement. I make sure I am predictable and don’t cause the animal to be uncertain. I follow training and routine that the animal is most used to. I assert my boundaries so the animal knows what to expect from me. I like to give the animal space and respect. I also love to show affection or approval through touch sometimes and especially through positive communication and rewards.
“Thank you Chloe for your great care of our dogs and cat while we were away. We appreciated the updates and photos and excellent care. When we got home we could tell the dogs were not at all stressed about us being gone, they were happy! We will be sure to book again in future!”

“Third time's the charm! This was Linda's third visit with our rescue Jasper. Linda's patience and diligence in building trust has paid off with cuddles and ear scratches. We appreciate Linda's proactive communication and commitment to providing excellent care while establishing a relationship with our shy and particular girl. Linda continues to be very accommodating with schedule adjustments and keeps the house very tidy. We'll be booking with her again soon!”
“I hired Ethan to watch my dog and tortoise for 5 days while we went up north. He was friendly, punctual, and great with the pets. Our dog did not seem stressed at all upon our return, and our house was spotless when we arrived. Will definitely book again. Thank yoU!”
“Ania was great with our pets! They have some medical needs that she handled quite well and was great at keeping to their schedule. All three of them seemed to have a good time and were happy when we got home!”
“My last sitter left Copper in the middle of the night because they felt Copper was being difficult. I contacted Moody while I was in US, and his prompt reply saved my entire trip. He took Copper for multiple walks, and was really good in communication. Thank you Moody!”
About: Hello fellow animal lovers! If you are anything like me, your furbabies are just as much a part of your family as anyone else. That is why I know you want the best care possible. Not only do I provide a fun, loving atmosphere, it is also safe and caring. I will treat them as well as I do my own. I have grown up with over 6 dogs (always having 2 at a time) and also with 4 cats. I currently have a 3 year old golden named Fax, and an 11 year old cat named Silver. Professionally, I have volunteered as well at the SPCA hospital and have finished my Veterinary Office Management certificate program at Mohawk College. Through Red Cross, I've attained my First Aid & CPR certification for cats and dogs. Over the past 12 years, I have worked at 4 different veterinary hospitals (emergency too), helping animals of all ages. Currently I'm at a physical rehabilitation facility for animals helping with pre and post op care - SO rewarding. I offer a variety of services; whether that be dog walks, cat visits, pet sitting, daycare, nail trims, brushing, bathing or post-op care. I look forward to doing business with you and your lovely animal/s in the near future! I work part time 2 - 3 days per week at an animal physical rehabilitation clinic, which leaves the rest of the time to help others pets. I even dog walk sometimes before work, during my lunches, or after work on those days too. I would treat them with the upmost kindness, so they keep their happy routine. I'm great with following all owners instructions (may get spoiled here and there if allowed!). I have a fenced yard, I enjoy going on leashed walks (working at a vet clinic I'm very weary of strangers dogs and can never be too careful - I do not do dog parks personally). If needed, I would see if they enjoy being brushed/cuddled or like their personal space. I always have my own forms filled out for my records so I know who to contact in case of emergencies, if they have allergies, if meds are needed, if they have a favourite toy etc.
“Starting with our initial meet and greet Caroline was warm and caring with our cat and dog, we could see she would treat them like her own. Her communication and updates were timely and thoughtful with plenty of photos. We really appreciated Caroline caring for our home as well, with watering plants, taking garbage to the curb and even cleaning up the green bin after a misfortunate attack by raccoons. We would gladly recommend and use Caroline’s services again.”

Five stars doesn't do justice to the outstanding care Kristina provided for our 2 dogs on our country property. As soon as we met Kristina we knew she would be very competent and caring and we were not disappointed. Kristina is an excellent communicator. We really appreciated all the photos and notes she sent while we were away. When we returned home the house was clean and our dogs were happy. Kristina will be our go to person for all future sits and we would not hesitate to recommend her. Thank you Kristina. You are awesome!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brant 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 Brant 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 Brant 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
