“Lori was awesome! She looked after both my cat and dog while I was away and even sent me photos. My neighbours said she was often out playing ball with my dog and making sure she was exercised. Thanks Lori for being a great pet and house sitter.”
“Laura is such a pleasure to work with, friendly yet professional. And, more importantly, our sometimes recalcitrant cat warmed right up to her. Not an easy task if you know our cat. Thanks so much Laura.”
About: Love dogs but could not own one due to work/life circumstances. Have experience sitting and walking smaller high energy dogs such as Daschund and Jack Russels.I have owned and cared for pets for many years of all ages and was fortunate to have a pet that lived to the age of 26.I have pet sat for friends in their home and on occasion in my home in the past. As an owner of a cat with thyroid disease daily specialized care and dietary monitoring is a significant part of my routine to maintain good health.I recently had to say goodbye to my senior cat of 26 years.She was a rescue cat with a unique personality. In her latter years she suffered pancreatitis on several.occasions .She was very strong and resilient which gave her longevity. I am a retired nurse of 40 years who continues to work casual shifts in health care.I can set my work hours and organize my life more freely. I can be accommodating to meet the needs of those in my care . Can walk dogs,change litter,refill food and water and administer medication. As a result of my previous experiences with health related issues in my pets I am more in tune with changes in behavior and health.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Greetings, loyal subjects. It is I… Lyric. My sitter Nikki arrived at my home, where I graciously allowed them entry. And oh, what a visit! The cuddles were plentiful, the Frisbee tosses were mighty, and the attention… exquisite. They documented my every majestic move and sent the photos to my mom so she wouldn’t perish from missing me. Truly, they understood the assignment. I shall eagerly await their return to my royal residence. A triumph. A masterpiece. 15/10 dramatic tail wags.”

I have experience working with golden retrievers, labs Jack Russell‘s GSP, hounds and many other dogs of all sizes.I may be a bit biased but golden retrievers are my absolute favourite. It would be my pleasure to walk, play or keep your goldens company on your busy days. You can trust that your furry family member will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I don’t have any pets at this time as I travel too much for work but I look forward to being your dogs temporary dog mom! I work shift work and often have days off during the week.

About: I've been caring for and loving dogs my whole life! My experience ranges from caring for my own dogs, to working at my local vet clinic. I have experience serving a wide range of breeds, sizes and ages. Throughout my experience, I have encountered various temperaments, energy levels, and specific needs, which has equipped me with the skills to handle different dogs with care and patience. I am familiar with leash training techniques, basic commands, and appropriate socialization methods. I work remotely therefor my schedule is flexible. I am available weekday, evenings and weekends for dog walking services. I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I am flexible and can accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I am thrilled to meet your furry friend and provide them with the care and attention they deserve. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your dog's specific needs and schedule a meet-and-greet. I look forward to building a trusted and long-lasting relationship with both you and your furry companion! Your dog's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I am trained in pet first aid and CPR, and I will always carry necessary supplies, such as waste bags, water, and a basic first aid kit. I am attentive to any special dietary or medical needs your dog may have and will administer medications as directed. I believe in maintaining open and transparent communication with pet owners. If you want I can send regular updates on your dog's activities, including photos and videos, so you can see how much fun they are having. I am readily available to answer any questions or address any concerns you may have.
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have cared for animals throughout my life. I bring 15+ years of hands-on animal-care experience, including working in two veterinary clinics and teaching canine and equine first aid. I provide reliable, attentive and compassionate care and am happy to follow each pet's individual routine and needs. I have a flexible schedule and am generally available Sunday to Saturday with daytime availability for drop-in visits, dog walks and pet care. I am also open to occasional weekend and overnight bookings with advance notice. I enjoy staying active and spend time caring for my own animals, including my horses and cats. I can work with individual pet routines and am happy to provide regular updates to owners while they are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet's routine, personality and individual needs, and I carefully follow owner instructions for feeding, exercise, medications and other care. My experience working in two veterinary clinics, along with my Canine and Equine First Aid Instructor training, gives me confidence recognizing changes in an animal's health or behaviour and responding appropriately if a concern arises. Whether caring for pets in their own home or providing visits, I aim to keep their environment calm, familiar and stress-free. I will also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they are away.
“Heidi sent me daily photos and updates, which were hugely appreciated. My partner arrived back home first, and he said our cat was disgruntled that we had left but that it was clear that all of his immediate needs had been met. He arrived home before I had a chance to let her know, and he said she came in with a cat greeting so enthusiastic and loving that he thought I’d come home early. Heidi was extraordinarily thoughtful to both our and our cats needs. Highly recommend!”
“Jane is wonderful in her flexibility and with my pup. Ophelia liked her immediately and was comfortable going right into her home. She is great with Ophelia and we look forward to having her as our pet sitter. 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend. We appreciate you so much Jane 🩷”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful during her six-night stay caring for our animals. We came home to happy, healthy pets, and it was obvious they were all very well looked after. Our rabbits and chickens received excellent care, and everything was clean and well maintained. She also did an amazing job caring for our rabbit, Marshmellow, who needed medication twice a day while recovering. She was excellent with his treatments, and thanks to her attentive care, he’s now completely healed. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our animals were in such capable and caring hands while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter. Megan took care of my two dogs, cat, saltwater aquarium, 11 chickens and 12 bunnies. Thank you, Megan!”

“Morgan is an absolute sweetheart! She was kind, caring, thoughtful, patient, and a wonderful match for our pets. We were gone for 9 days and as this was our first time using Rover, there was some anxiety on our part. Morgan put our minds to rest. She was an extremely good listener and answered all our questions. Additionally, she kept in touch with us and even sent us photos of our fur babies! I highly recommend this lovely lady and hope to use her services again in the future if she is willing.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bridgewater
My family is new to the area, and Laura not only helped us out in a pinch but also won over our pups, as evidenced by all the cuddle pics. She kept them company all night long and gave us the opportunity to head up to the city for a concert. We plan to have her come by again the next time we plan an overnight adventure. She was truly terrific!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bridgewater 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 Bridgewater 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 Bridgewater 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 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.
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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
