“I couldn't have asked for a better person to care for my pets and in fact my pets loved him so much I was worried when I got home they wouldn't have missed me at all. Brandon cared for them and followed the instructions for the house impeccably. Communication was clear and timely and he even helped me out when my flight was delayed. I would use Brandon a thousand percent again.”

“This was my first time using boarding services on Rover and it was a great experience. Kristina was wonderful to work with, she seemed to really bond with my dog Gracie at their meet and greet, she gave regular updates and I really trusted her to take care of Gracie in my home. Hoping to book with her again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small critters my entire life. Growing up, I was always the one walking, cleaning, and looking after our family pets. My love for animals led me to study wildlife and become a trained Wildlife Technician, giving me hands‑on experience with animal behavior, safety, and care. Availability • I work in Brantford Monday–Friday, 8:30–4:30 • Available for walks and drop‑in visits before 8 AM, after 4:30 PM, and a 30‑minute check‑in at lunch • Weekend availability varies and can be booked in advance As a Wildlife Technician, I can administer medications — needles included — and keep accurate records for your peace of mind. Your pet is truly precious cargo, and I treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. I have a senior dog and cat that includes walking, bathing, cleaning kitty litter, administering meds, general love and care. I will work around your schedule in the morning, evenings and weekends, outside of my 8:30-4:30 work schedule. I am a loving, confident, organized pet caretaker. I keep a good schedule, have a calm demeanour and ensure your pets and home are protected, clean and loved.
“Camryn did an incredible job with Harvey. He was happy, well taken care of, and I came home to a clean and well cared for home. It made the trip much more relaxing. She also communicated with me on a regular basis and sent pictures which was really nice.”

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!
“Sarah was AMAZING!! She took such great care of our fur babies!!! It was so nice to know that Chloe & Oreo were in good hands so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. We highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have hands-on experience caring for pets. I currently have two cats of my own, and I’ve also raised and cared for a puppy, so I understand the patience, attention, and responsibility that comes with caring for pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, giving lots of love and attention, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions to make sure their pet feels happy, safe, and cared for while they’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and give them plenty of love, attention, and care! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. With availability across morning, afternoon, and evening hours, I easily schedule visits around feeding times, potty breaks, and playtime. Whether it's an early morning check-in or an evening drop-in, I structure my day to ensure every pet gets consistent, on-time care and attention. When providing drop-in care at a client's home, I focus on safety, cleanliness, and keeping your pets on their normal daily routines. I strictly follow all feeding, playtime, and care instructions, make sure feeding and litter areas stay clean, and always double-check that all doors, gates, and locks are secure before leaving. I treat your home with total respect and ensure your pets get quality, individual attention and love every time I visit!
About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments.I am currently 25 with a two-year-old dachshund. I have a full-time job with animals 3 days a week (which she is able to come with me too.) when I am not at work I would love to be hanging out with your furry ones. Whether your dog is playful and high-energy or calm and easygoing, I know how to adapt to their personality and make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’ve handled everything from tiny puppies to large, strong breeds, and I’m confident managing leash training, walks, feeding, and cuddle time alike. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure you have peace of mind while you’re away — with updates and photos. I am available 3/4 days a week depending on my work schedule as it is rotational. On my days off I have full availability. I am flexible and adaptive. I am a highly safe and trustworthy individual. I am extremely lucky to be working alongside animals every day. My knowledge is very extensive and forever expanding.
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: Since as long as I can remember I have loved all animals. I have owned and grown up with many different animals and dogs all my life. Owned a few different dog breeds from a Jack Russell to a Great Dane. I currently own 2 senior Ridgebacks which are my precious babies. Growing up with dogs all my life has aloud me to gain the experience, patience and confidence to teach basic training commands and read body language fairly well. I also had the privilege of volunteering at a non profit dog rescue program where I was in charge of walking, feeding, providing medication and keeping the area clean. Animals deserve the best love and care♡ I am currently working a morning shift but will be available in the evenings Monday to Friday after 6 PM or weekends any time! 🙂 I can keep your furry pet company, play in the yard, take them for walks or even load them in the car and take them to a trail near by! Even cook a special meal! Anything they are needing to keep our furry friend happy🙂
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.
About: What truly sets me apart is my calm, confident energy and my belief that every dog deserves love, safety, and stimulation — even when you can’t be there. I treat every pet like my own, because I know how much they mean to you. I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, various types of lizards and chicks. I work full time very close to home. I am available most weekends and evenings for walks or any other needs you may have ! Large unfenced yard Lots of walks, long leashes for free exploration. Can take to dog parks if needed. At home, all animals are allowed on the furniture. Bed included.
“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!”

“Linda was great with my dog Coco. She provided photos and updates throughout my trip which I appreciated. Coco was well taken care of and I would definitely book with Linda again.”

About: I grew up with Moose, our family's Shar-Pei. The breed tends to be wary of strangers, and watching Moose slowly warm up to visitors taught me to let a new dog come to me when they're ready. I've also walked dogs for neighbours and friends, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. On walks, my phone stays in my pocket unless I'm taking photos for your update. That way, I spot a dropped chicken bone before your dog does. If your dog tenses up at an oncoming dog, a skateboard, or a goose, I cross the street or head the other way before it turns into barking or lunging. I also adjust each walk to your dog, whether they need a slow stroll with lots of sniffing or a brisk pace to burn off energy. I'll stick to your rules too: the commands you use, how many treats are allowed, and whether the couch is off-limits. I'm on a lighter course load this term, so apart from a few classes, I'm available 7 days a week, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. That means I can walk your dog at the same time every weekday while you're at work, so they know what to expect. I'm also around for last-minute walks when you're running late, and I can usually do a meet & greet within a day or two of hearing from you. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so if it shows me as available, I am. If my class schedule changes next term, I'll give you plenty of notice. At our meet & greet, I'll learn your dog's routine, how they are with other dogs, what spooks them, and who to call in an emergency, including your vet. On walks, I make sure your dog can't back out of their collar or harness, keep them leashed the whole time, and always pick up after them. They only greet other dogs if you're fine with it and the other dog's owner agrees. On hot days, I test the pavement with the back of my hand to make sure it's safe for paws, bring water, and keep walks short and shaded. When it's bitterly cold or icy, I shorten walks and stick to cleared paths. In your home, I block the doorway when I come and go so your dog can't dart out, and I never bring anyone else inside. On drop-ins and house sits, I keep meals, walks, and bedtime on your dog's usual schedule. When I'm staying over, I never leave them alone longer than we've agreed. Before I leave, I wipe mud or road salt off their paws, refill the water bowl, latch any gates, and lock up. After every visit, you'll get photos and a quick update, including bathroom breaks. If anything seems off, like limping or an upset stomach, I'll let you know right away.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Brantford is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brantford
We could not have been happier having Brandon to look after our dog, Maple, whilst we were away. Maple can have some pretty specific needs but Brandon made it all so simple, and we could tell how relaxed he made Maple. He kept us so incredibly updated, and was so detailed in the information he would pass onto us about the days they had together. We were gone for 2 weeks, and were so comfortable with it knowing how well Maple was being looked after! Our house was kept in immaculate condition as well! Could not recommend Brandon more!

Laura was amazing!! First time leaving my new puppy so wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Laura was fantastic. Great with communication (lots of photos and updates) and really cared to keep up the puppy training I’m doing. Very responsible (even with an unexpected house issue) I knew I was leaving my dog (and house) in capable hands. Will definitely use Laura’s again! Highly recommend.

Hillary sorry for the delayed feedback! Just want to say thank you sooo much for caring for our pups. I would highly recommend Hillary for anyone’s pet sitting needs. Hillary is soo pleasant and extremely easy to communicate with ! Hillary’s friendly personality immediately put us at ease. Can’t wait to have you back hoping will have you as our regular pet sitter.

Regan did an outstanding job house sitting for our little 4lb teacup poodle! She sent multiple updates per day with pictures, which put our mind at ease while away for a week on vacation. I couldn't recommend Regan enough, she went above and beyond in all aspects! Book with her!!

Susie is awesome! This was her third time taking care of our cat, Jimmi. He is on daily medication and Susie handled it without any problem. She sent us photos and updates throughout our vacation. It's very comforting to know that your pet is in good hands. We highly recommend Susie!

Rachel took my babies into her house when my partner and I went on vacation. She was willing to accommodate their needs (spoiled babies) and stick to their routine and schedule as best as possible. Rachel was quick to response to messages, and sent me updates with occasional pictures that made my day during our vacation. I also appreciate that she was flexible with the drop off and pick up times to accommodate our flight schedule. We would be happy to book her again and definitely recommend her.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brantford 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 Brantford 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 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!
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
