“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!”

“April was very responsible came on time every day for my animals and spent some time with them. Even sent us pictures and updates every visit would highly recommend her .Thanks April 🤗”

About: I have had cats, dogs, rabbits, small animals, and fish in my whole life. I am a hug🤯 e animal lover and have been raising animals since I was a little girl. I only have 1 cat in my home right now because I lost 3 dogs in the past 3 years due to age/cancer, one German Shepherd and 2 Golden Retrievers. But that means I can host up to 3 dogs here. I have experience in puppy training, crate training, senior care, bathing and basic grooming, giving meds to pets, feeding raw or kibble and all sizes and types of dogs are welcome!! I also have experience in working at a dog kennel. I don't work currently so I am home full time, and I live with my mum, who will also help out if necessary (ie. if a dog cannot be left alone at any time, there are two of us so we will take care and make sure they are not left alone at any time.) I have time every day to exercise the dog in the backyard or take for short walks. We have a fairly big backyard and it is all fully fenced in. We are also very close to a dog park in West Brant (Dogford Park) and can take them there for a good run with their friends if that is what you or they want. We will need to know some basic information, like whether they are crate trained, or if they can be left alone for an hour or two (unlikely to happen), if they like cats or other dogs, any tricks or training cues or equipment you might have used for your dog, any allergies, any medications needed, any health issues that may be important etc etc. Our house is completely dog friendly, they will be allowed on furniture and can sleep with me if they prefer. Dogs will not have access to cat's room and we have gates to block off certain rooms or places, but will move gates around and remove when we get to know your dog and their needs and safety. Our cat is very shy due to some trauma in her youth, so she does not come out of her room for anybody except my mum and that's when there are absolutely nobody around, so with the cat's room blocked off (my mum's room lol), dogs do not have access to the cat so we typically don't worry about our boarders meeting with Saphera and have had alot of boarders who have never experienced cats or doesn't like cats and still come to stay, we always make it work. We also provide our home for those dogs who are in heat or unneutered male. Please be aware that we may be hosting a foster dog or puppies at the time of boarding.

“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 !”

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!
“Robin was absolutely fantastic! This was my first time leaving Casey alone, and she kept me informed with daily photos and detailed updates. She ensured Casey had food, scooped the litter box daily, and added some play time. I highly recommend Robin and will definitely be booking again!”

“we needed someone to look after our dog at our home for 1 hr, while my wife had some medical exams, and our dog loved his time with Camryn. I would recommend her to take care of your dog. She has easy, quiet mood that somehow calm dogs haha.”

“Britt is extremely patient and gracious. My dog is not the most easygoing and Britt came by twice before I needed her just so that my dog would be comfortable when she came by without me being home. She listened and respected my preferences, and my dog’s preferences. It was really important to me that my dog was familiar and comfortable with Britt, as she isn’t with many people. Britt was absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”

“Cheyanne is awesome!!! Pinctual. Easy communication. She was awesome with our cats. They all came out to see her and get fed. Even my super shy one. She went above and beyond. Will absolutely use her again and again!”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life! My best friend growing up was my Boston terrier/French bulldog mix! He is now passed but has given me some senior care skills! I have been watching and taking care of dogs for neighbours and friends ever since I was 14! I have experience training puppies & love teaching dogs new tricks, playing fetch or cuddling up to watch a movie! Whatever best suits your pup:) I am a flight attendant! My schedule is kind of all over the place but want to spend my days off with your furry friend! My schedule Varys month to month but can be flexible! I will take your furry friend on walks!

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. 🐾❤️
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 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: 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: 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.
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: 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.

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 !

Brandon is a wonderful pet sitter, always caring and thorough. Since finding Brandon, I don't worry about my pets when I'm away. There is always excellent communication and the best photos. When I return home, my pets have clearly been loved while I was away, not mad and clingy like they have been before. Brandon is the best, and I 100% recommend. 🐾

Nayya took such good care of my "lads". She took them outside, played with them, and gave them treats, in addition to regular feeding and litter box cleaning. My cats responded to Nayya in such a positive manner, which is a testament to her love of pets. Nayya left me detailed reports each day, which included several pictures. I have booked Nayya twice and would not hesitate to book her services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Brantford is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $40 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 1,634 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
