Colleen came to feed our two cats, one of which is a rescue and is very timid. Both cats came out to see her when she arrived which is amazing! We were very happy with Colleen’s service and would recommend her. Very reliable, polite and professional!

About: I’m a cat mom to two wonderful felines named Moonlight and Blue. I also walk and play with my favorite dog (an unneutered Mastador) three times a week. It is the next best thing aside from having my own. Cats have been a part of my life since my teenage years. I have experience administering oral medication as needed. I also spent two and a half years working on a farm (as a bookkeeper), where I had daily interactions with feral cats and often cleaned their wounds or treated minor eye issues. If you are looking for drop-in visits for your cat, please read the "cat care experience" section of my profile. I’ve raised two orphaned baby birds (a Starling and a Robin) at different times in my life, each for about a month. They brought me so much joy. You can view photos of Blueberry (the Starling ) while you look at my profile photos. Share your pets likes and dislikes with me and l will use this info to create a caring experience that keeps them well-supported. How does your dog react when meeting other dogs on the street? Do they pull on the leash when being walked? Are they more likely to finish their meal when a trusted person is with them rather than when they are left home by themselves? Tell me about their personality and energy level so I can provide them with the best care possible. At our first appointment, I will meet you and your pet ( at no cost) so we can decide whether we are a good match. I currently work part time ( homeschooling my daughter and doing pet drop-in visits/ dog walking). Most of my availability is early mornings or after 3pm. Let me know what you need and I will do my best to fit you into my schedule. . . . I will work with you and your pet to make sure I provide the care you are looking for. Tell me about their personality, behaviour and preferences or any special routines. Shall there be challenges, I will work with you and your pet to resolve them. I have passed a Police Security check which hopefully gives you some piece of mind. You can also meet me in person to decide for yourself whether we are a good match.

About: I’ve lived with pets my entire life, and have seen all kinds of personalities and needs. I’m always attentive of individual pet needs and treat them like my own. I work full time 8-4 and currently often go away on weekends from Friday-Sunday. Otherwise I’m home the whole time after work to give lots of attention. I can also go home during lunch if ever needed. I’ve recently moved into a new home and have an empty basement at the moment which won’t be furnished for a few more months. Your cat can have their own very large space there with a bedroom included for them. Dogs can enjoy the whole house with me if they are friendly with my cat, and enjoy plenty of space in my large fenced backyard.

About: Hi there! I’m Melanie, a Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT) with the Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians (OAVT). Caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, and my very first job was at a dog kennel. That experience opened the door to working in an animal hospital, where I realized veterinary medicine was exactly where I belonged. I went on to earn my diploma as a Veterinary Technologist and have since worked in several small-animal clinics as well as emergency hospitals. I’ve cared for animals of every size and temperament, and I’ve built strong technical skills through hands-on work in anesthesia, surgery, patient care, and fast-paced emergency situations. I have a genuine passion for animal care and the expertise to support pets with both basic and advanced needs. Whether your pet requires medication administration, injections, subcutaneous fluids, or just a loving and attentive companion, I’m here to help. Your pet’s comfort and well-being will always be my top priority. I currently work full time, so my availability is limited to evenings and weekends. I have access to a reliable vehicle and hold my G license. As a Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT), I uphold a high standard of ethics and care that aligns with the Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians (OAVT). I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets and truly understand how important they are to your family. I’ve also house-sat for several families, and my goal is always to respect your space and leave it even better than I found it.

About: My husband David and I treat every dog and cat like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As previous service dog raisers, we have experience with both energetic puppies who need play, patience, and training basics, as well as senior pets who need a gentler touch, extra comfort, and a steady routine. We are reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether that’s long walks, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship. You’ll always get regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in loving hands. We have a flexible schedule, which means we can easily adapt to your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening snuggles. Because we work our day around pet care, we can keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Having this flexibility also allows us to give extra attention, longer walks, or just more quality playtime if that’s what your pet loves most. Your furry friend’s comfort and happiness always come first, and we are able to adjust our time to make sure they feel cared for and loved every day. When we’re caring for pets in a client’s home, we treat it with the same respect we would my own. We follow your instructions carefully—feeding, walks, play, medications, or snuggle time—and make sure your pet feels loved and cared for in their familiar space. We also like to send regular photo and video updates, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and safe while you’re away.

About: I am currently studying animal science at the University of Guelph and hope to become a veterinarian, so caring for animals is something I am truly passionate about. I have spent recent summers caring for pets like cats, dogs, and even chicks, giving me experience caring for a wide range of personalities and needs. I have grown up with pet cats of my own and I have experience administering medications, orally and by injection, and managing health needs such as seizure care. I have Walks and Wags pet first aid certification, so I am confident in my ability to respond appropriately in stressful situations. I always aim to provide calm, attentive and reliable care tailored to each animal's unique personality and needs. I currently work weekend evenings as a server. However, throughout the week I am able to plan my schedule around visits when needed. Since caring for animals is something I enjoy, I can make it a priority in my daily routine. I provide care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable. I always follow each owner's routines and preferences closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, administering medication, litter box cleaning, playtime, or giving pets companionship and attention. I understand every animal has different needs and personalities, so I aim to create a calm, safe, and stress-free experience.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs, so I’m pretty comfortable with all ages and their different needs. I honestly just really love dogs, I have one of my own too, so I totally get how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. I’m patient, caring, and I just try to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Right now I’m free every day and anytime because I’m on summer break from university. I could walk or visit your dog in the morning, afternoon or evening. Got it—here’s a version that fits client’s home only and still sounds natural: When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I stick to feeding schedules, give fresh water, take them for walks, and spend time playing with them and keeping them company. I also pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they need lots of activity, extra patience, or just calm companionship. I keep things clean, respectful, and make sure your home is taken care of as well while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed, cared for, and not stressed while you’re gone.

Robin was out of this world. We asked her to drop in on our 3yo Bernadoodle Zuma and he was so happy and looked forward to her visits while we were on a 5 day vacation. She sent updates with photos and even let us know if he wanted to just be quite and cuddle during a visit. Will definitely use her services again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Brantford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Brantford on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,614 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Brantford. About 87% of Brantford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Brantford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Brantford 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!

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
