“We were nervous to leave our dogs with someone we didn’t know but we are glad we tried it. I appreciated the meet and greet before hand. April was amazing, the dogs loved her and she sent pictures to us :) can’t thank her enough for our mini break. Highly suggest her services.”

About: As a pet parent in my own home, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a unique group of beloved dogs and cats. My family includes two cats with specialized health needs, a large Lab mix with hip dysplasia and allergies, and a Border Collie who struggles with anxiety. It can feel like a zoo at times, but I genuinely love caring for them and ensuring each of their individual needs is met with patience, attention, and compassion. My schedule allows me the availability to take jobs most of the day, Monday - Friday from 6am to 4pm. This allows me to work owners in with last minute needs as well. I have experience and am very comfortable with walking various sized breeds and training level in city neighborhoods or trails. Comfortable with giving medication, bathing and feeding. Love spending time with animals and want to ensure they are comfortable and happy.
“Camryn was professional, responsive and super friendly. Our pup was well taken care of, happy and relaxed when we returned. I will definitely recommend Camryn and Rover.com to others. Thanks so much Camryn!”

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!
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.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’ve also helped care for puppies from birth, as my dogs have had litters in the past. I cared for the puppies, helped with their daily needs, and watched them grow until they were ready to go to their loving new homes. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply some company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. 🐶🐱❤️ I work from home doing freelance jobs, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I already follow a consistent routine with my own dog, including morning and evening walks, meals, playtime, and frequent potty breaks, and I’m happy to maintain your pet’s usual routine while you’re away. When caring for your pet in their home, my priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’ll also respect your home and follow any specific instructions you provide. Since I have a dog of my own, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in caring and responsible hands. 🐾

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 is awesome! We were nervous about leaving our special needs little pug with her, but she made a couple of visits out to our house ahead of time, got to know him and his needs, and he felt so comfortable with her straight away we knew he would be in good hands. She cares a lot about the animals left in her care, and we’re so grateful for her 🫶”

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 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: 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!
“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: 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.
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.
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember — I grew up with two or more dogs in our family from the time I was a baby, so having dogs around has always felt like home to me! I currently have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is very much part of our family. My children have grown up alongside him, so they’re used to having a dog as part of their everyday life and understand that dogs deserve kindness, respect and plenty of love. My former pup was part of our family for many years and, later in life, needed extra care while living with diabetes, Cushing’s disease and seizures. That experience taught me just how important patience, consistency and paying close attention to a dog’s individual needs can be. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from little ones to big dogs, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s quirks and routine. As a mum, I’m naturally nurturing and attentive, and I truly believe dogs are so much more than just pets — they’re part of the family. They deserve to feel loved, safe and included, and that’s exactly how I would treat your pup while they’re with us. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible work-from-home job, along with some community work, which means I’m able to work my schedule around the needs of the dogs in my care. I have flexibility throughout the day and can usually accommodate different routines, walks, drop-ins and stays with some advance notice. I’m home often and love having a pup around to keep me company! 🐾❤️ Shoot me a message and I'm sure we can work something out My home is a loving, family environment where dogs are welcomed as part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where pups can safely enjoy outdoor time, and i currently have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is very used to having other dogs around. I also have a finished basement that can provide a quiet, comfortable space away from the kids and our dog if your pup prefers some alone time, needs a break, or simply likes having a calm place to relax. For boarding stays, I’m also happy to sleep in our guest room with your dog if they’re more comfortable having someone nearby overnight. Safety and trust are really important to me. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, comfort level and any special needs before their stay. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and settled. I work from home, so I’m home often and dogs aren’t left alone for long periods of time. Our children are comfortable and respectful around dogs, and I’m always mindful of making sure every pup has the space they need. Most importantly, I want every dog staying with us to feel safe, loved and genuinely part of the family — whether that means playing in the yard, cuddling on the couch, or having a quiet night downstairs with me. 🐾❤️
“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.”

“Sara stayed with our Maggie girl while our family was on vacation and we can’t thank her enough! She kept us updated daily on how she was doing and sent us pictures!

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.
