“I do not have enough kind words to express how wonderful Allison was to our dogs. Not once during my very busy weekend was I worried or concerned. She sent pictures during the day. Asked all important questions prior to bad weather event. Allison handled it with professionalism and kindness. Highly recommend. Will use Allison again I’m sure”
“What I appreciate most about Bozhena is how attuned she is to Morgan's personality. She takes the time to actually play with her and sit with her and make sure she feels safe and comfortable while we're away. Every time we return, Morgan is relaxed and clearly hasn't missed a beat, which says everything about the quality of care Bozhena provides. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter their cat will actually be happy to see.”
About: I grew up in a home with cats and a dog! I now don’t have any pets and miss having a pet companion. Near the end of my dogs like she required extra care and medications. I have pet sit for friends many times (dogs and cats). I currently work a 9-5 job Monday to Thursday so I have weekends and evenings available to look after your pets! I can be flexible with remote work. When house sitting, my goal would be to make your pet fee comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I would follow their usual routine as closely as possible including meals, walks, playtime and any other specific instructions you provide. I would keep you updated with photos and check ins so you know how they’re doing.
“Zarina took wonderful care of our 2 senior huskies. She was extremely communicative, patient and thorough, and was quick to provide photos and updates. She was able to administer medications to my one pup without issue, and handled everything professionally, kindly, and honestly. She took my dogs on frequent walks (she got suckered into it often lol). I trust Zarina completely with my babies.”
“Selena was great! She kept us well informed throughout her stay with Margot, also being proactive in her communication when it seemed Margot wasn’t feeling 100%. Selena also left our house in amazing shape upon leaving!”
“We chose travel dates based on Solana’s schedule because we trust her so much! We went away for an entire month while she house-sat for us and took care of our two cats. Every day while we were away we’d look forward to her updates. When we came back, the house was tidy, and our boys (cats) were totally calm and happy. We couldn’t ask for more!”

I'm available most holidays too. Can't wait to meet you guys. I care for pets with patience, love , kindness, and attention to their individual needs. Communication and commitment is what makes the optimal safe environment. I follow pet mom/dad's instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and routines. Making sure pets have fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of attention and companionship. I understand and value that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel secure while their mom or dad is away.

“Micha was a great sitter for our 2 cats who are very needy for love. We came home to a clean house, and well fed and watered cats who only seemed mildly annoyed with us having left them. Micha stayed in contact with us and sent us pictures each day. We will definitely use her again.”

“Andrea was great. We had only one meeting with her before she came to our house, but we liked her immediately and felt comfortable with her. We appreciate how much love and attention she gave our dog while we were away, and it was nice to receive her her texts with updates and pictures. Thank you!”

“Aarthi was a fantastic help to us house and pet sitting our elder dog and energetic cat while we were on vacation. It was important to us that our pets could stay in an environment they’re use to, especially our 14 yr old dog who is starting to slow down. Aarthi was flexible to meet ahead of time, see the house and understand their routines. She has a warm and friendly personality, and her affection for animals was evident from the moment we met her. She kept us informed as to how they were doing and sent a few pics too. We will definitely have her back!”
“Jessica provided exceptional care for my dog Parker! She was attentive, loving, and ensured Parker had everything he needed. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brown Hill 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 Brown Hill 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 Brown Hill 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.
