“Brandon was fantastic looking after our dogs and our home. He was super responsive, sent lots of photos and regular updates, and we always felt confident the dogs were happy and well cared for. He also left the house spotless when we got back, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend Brandon and look forward to having him watch our dogs 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!”
“Thank you Ethan, from the first time I reached out, you replied back within 15 minutes and right away assured me that you were able to take care of Rosie. We met prior to the date and you were professional, caring and right away made Rosie feel comfortable. You sent me pictures and updates on her stay with you and were very attentive to replying to me if I checked in. Thank you again Ethan and Rosie will be back for sure!”
“Juliet was wonderful! Her communication was excellent, with regular updates that really helped put me at ease while I was away. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and couldn’t be more pleased. Highly recommend!”
“Elaina provided excellent care for our dog, Winston, right in our home while we were away for 5 days. Winston is a rescue and can be a bit anxious with new people and changes in routine. Elaina answered all of our communications very promptly and came to our home for a pre-meet and 2 walks before we left on our trip. Elaina provided daily updates and pictures of Winnie which was wonderful. She was very observant in reading and understanding his behaviour and flexible and patient with him as he adjusted to our absence. I highly recommend Elaina for her experience, capability, confidence, and trustworthiness, especially if you are looking for a new dog sitter. She is a pleasure to work with!”
“Holly was a dream! I was anxious to leave my 7 month old dog and adult dog home alone for a whole day while at an event, as they usually have one of their humans at home. Holly was quick to communicate, and most importantly my two dogs and 3 cats love her! My puppy can be nervous with new people, and my other dog has separation anxiety. However, they were both able to settle easily after I left! They were happy and relaxed when I arrived home which made it easy to decompress after a long day. Plus, one of my cats really enjoyed a 2 hour snuggle with her on the couch! Safe to say, our pets were well taken care of by Holly -- loved and cared for the way we would. The photo updates throughout the day helped ease this anxious pet mom too :)”
“We booked with Hillary again to dog/cat sit for a few nights in a row. She kept us up to date with photos and how our animals were doing each day, which really eased my mind and kept me from worrying at all. So glad to know our animals were in great hands!”
“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!”

It was such a relief to know that our guy was in loving hands while we were away. Plus our house was EXACTLY as we had left it. She was very tidy and respectful of our space! We will certainly be rebooking with Paige a third time! Thank you for taking such great care of our boy :)”
About: Since I was born, my family has owned dogs. Growing up, I had two big dogs, a Husky, Collie mix names Fisher and German Shephard, Rottweiler mix named Sam. Our next pup was a mutt named Bolt that we had rescued from the Highway up in Northern Muskoka. She was a small dog with a Boxer, Pug and Terrier mix. It wasn't until 2016 when I saved my first cat from being hit by a car, Mango, that I was fully taking care of my onw pet. To date, we now have a Husky Australian Shephard puppy named Luna, and Mango and another little black kitty named Jolene. I also live with a Rottweiler Lab mix named Poppy, who is such a sweetie, and a crazy ginger kitten named Hippo. I am well versed in dog and cat handling, and will take extra care and time with your pets. There is no limit to the amount of love they will receive while in my care! In my house currently, we have three cats and a dog. I would say that pet care is a major priority in my day. Feeding, walking, cleaning up after and caring for our babies is absolutely part of my daily life. I will ensure your pets are handled with the highest professional care. They will have a constant eye on them so long as I am caring for them. They are my top priority and I will ensure that they are safe during walkings, feedings, play and cuddle time. I take pet enrichment very seriously and will ensure your pet is sleepy at the end of the day.
“Walter stayed at our house over the long weekend to take care of our 2 German Shepherds. When we arrived home the house looked exactly as we left it, and the dogs were happy, even sleepy. Walter communicated with us during the weekend with photos and a couple texts. We are happy with Walter and would use his services again.”
“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 🫶”

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.
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!
Graham was extremely communicative and accommodating. He had a very chill demeanour and was extremely good with our dog who has a history of territorialism. He was able to take care of Kevin and also made sure that his every need was met the week that we were away. We would definitely be in touch with Graham on the future!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Brantford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brantford on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 893 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brantford. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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, identity 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 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
