About: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I’m 25 years old with years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Pet sitting is something I genuinely love, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care that helps both pets and their owners feel at ease. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and fish, and I’m comfortable looking after multiple pets at once. As an owner of two energetic Siberian Huskies, I’m experienced with large breeds and understand the importance of regular exercise, consistent routines, and attentive care! I also own a Budgie blue bird who loves to sing all day long! What you can expect from me: * Reliable and trustworthy care * Excellent time management and organization * Strong multitasking skills * Compassionate, patient, and attentive service * A genuine love for animals and their well-being Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own :) I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you! My current availability is quite flexible, so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I do have my own transportation :) Message me with any questions. Willing to drive up to 30km! In my home I provide much assistance for my two huskies. Including: bathing, walking, grooming, feeding and affection! I will treat your pet as I would my own with love and compassion.
“Michelle was great with Pumpkin. She kept me informed daily about his well being, sent pictures. I was concerned about leaving him because he recently was diagnosed with diabetes. Michelle was great with his feeding and giving him his insulin. I will be using her services again.”
About: Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Very responsible and pet loving. Perfect opportunity for me spend time taking care your fur babies since I don’t have my own. I would love to play and take care of your pets. Walking whenever needed and lots of cuddles if they allow it. Available all week I have no pets in the home so your pet will be getting all my love and attention. I have a large fenced in backyard and enjoy long walks so outside time will not be missed.
About: Love to be around pets especially dogs. I dog sit every time I get a chance and always make a fuss( awesome fur baby auntie). I have cared for family, friends and also from a house sitting website that I would always ensure there was a pet to care for as well. I had cats all my life so I am use to them and love them just as much. If I wasn't an entrepreneur I am sure I would be a vet or in some way a service to animals and our dear pets. My one cousin is studying to become a vet and i talk with her all the time about the best way to care for a pet. I am an entrepreneur and can make my own schedule. I have a online based business and can work from anywhere to ensure I have enough time for the furry loved ones. I care for pets in their own environment. I like to keep them as close to what they are use to as far as schedules/structures. I give them a dose of love with any and all activities we do together.
“Emma was great! She was available with very short notice and communicated throughout. I was in a bind and she saved the day. Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future!”

About: Hi Everyone! I can’t wait to hangout with your dog and/or cats; and give them the love, respect and attention they deserve. I know we’d all love to do that ourselves but it’s just not always possible unfortunately. I have 6 of my own cats at home with my husband. Our dogs passed on a few years ago and sitting through rover has allowed me to connect with amazing humans and their super cool pups! I’m comfortable and able to walk multiple dogs at once if needed, Whether we’re walking or hanging out at your place, I will ensure your dog is treated with the love that I treat my own pets with, which is a lot. I will make sure they are fed the proper foods, and medications if necessary and make sure they stay happy and healthy while they await your return. I hope we can chat soon, and arrange a time to meet you and your lovely fur-iend(s)! I’d also like to thank all my clients for their wonderful reviews! It is very much appreciated! ❤️ I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8am-430pm. I am able to do weekend, as well as extended stays. My husband and I can book up our schedules quickly at times with visiting friends and family, as well as other travel, so the more notice the better to fit you and your fur fam into my schedule! I have a fenced yard but boarding is decided on a case by case basis as I need to discuss it with my family and ensure my cats would be okay and not stressed out excessively during a boarding. Everyone’s happiness and comfortability is important.

About: I have raised 3 beautiful dogs throughout my life but currently I am not in care of any animals. Your dogs safety, love, and care is my number one priority. I love to keep them active and social so we will be always outside. I will take them to the local dog park, on hikes, swimming, and individual play time like tug-of-war and fetch. I used to volunteer at holiday pet care where I was in charge of over 20 dogs where I had to walk, feed, play and clean up after . Working there, I was able to keep all of the dogs under control and even taught a Maltese how to play soccer. I would love the same experience by providing your dog with the best experience. Thank you very much for consideration. I will be home full-time, so I will be able to provide your dog with all the attention, love, and care they deserve. I also will work weekends and holidays.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brantford
I had such a great experience with my dog sitter, Sherry. She was incredibly friendly, caring, and professional, and she made me feel completely comfortable trusting them with my dog. She was very reassuring throughout the entire process, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I really appreciated the regular update, photo and message showing me how my dog was doing and what they were up to. Her communication made me feel included and informed the whole time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would absolutely recommend Sherry to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and loving to care for their pet!
Chico and Vinny absolutely loved Daniella. Our boys are special dogs who need a specific type of caring and understanding, and she did an excellent job giving them the loving, attentive care they need. We were very happy with how she looked after them. Love to have her take care of them again !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Brantford is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $43 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,558 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Brantford. About 84% 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.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
