“This is my first time using Rover and I was very lucky to find Lorraine to visit my furry buddy while I was away . She did an excellent job and went above and beyond to care for Charlie . I got comprehensive visit reports with lots of pictures to keep my mind at ease . Charlie tells me he would like to see her again when I’m away !”
“Leanne was absolutely wonderful with our cat Dinah. She was very patient, spent lots of time with her, and genuinely tried to win her over rather than just doing the basics and leaving. Leanne followed all our house instructions carefully, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely comfortable leaving Dinah in her care and we'll definitely be booking with Leanne again!”
About: I have an animal loving family. I previously fostered dogs, and now that the kids are older, I am able to open up my home again for pet care! Your pet will get a lot of attention, walks, and care in our home. I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pup! Boarding is available any day of the week. I have a large fenced in yard, and a family friendly community to go for long walks. I also have a dog of my own to keep your dog company! I can crate or baby gate off your pup/dog if needed
“Madeline made me feel very calm and ensured that my gracie was being well taken care off. She was able to reduce my anxiety of being away from my cat. She was an amazing sitter and will definitely book again!”
About: As a teenager I volunteered every day at Animal Aid after school. We always had pet cats in our home. I have also been blessed with 12+ years of love from my childhood dog and then our own family dog we recently lost and miss dearly. We just added a sweet puppy to our family. She is a Shih Tzu cross and is a sweetheart. We are head over heels in love. I love walking my dog. A happy dog is a tired dog is my motto. Spending time with these wonderful animals is a blessing and makes my day. I own a small home based business so my hours are flexible. I would love nothing more than to offer you peace of mind that your beloved fur babies are well cared for and loved while you are away. As a pet owner myself I have always enjoyed my holidays that much more knowing they are safe and cared for. Would love to help you.
“Heather was amazing with my cats! She played with them and they warmed up to her quickly. She left the litter box clean. And they had fresh food and water. Couldn’t have asked for better help. Thank you, Heather!”
“This was my partner's and my first time using Rover and I can't overstate how much of a success it was because of Alicia's top-notch care. She went above and beyond to ensure Delilah (our cat) was comfortable, entertained, and extraordinarily well cared for. Alicia has a kind, gentle approach which will ensure your pet warms up to her immediately. Her updates were extensive, she was highly responsive, and it was very clear that she fosters a genuine passion for pet care. 11/10 recommend - we will be rebooking Alicia in the future!!”
About: I have experience ranging from fish, dogs, cats to even horses, growing up I used to pet sit/walk for family friends, neighbours and even at a family owned campground for local campers to enjoy a night out and have their pet cared for while doing so. I love long hikes, so if your furry friend is in need of that I have 2 years of experience with on leash and off leash hiking with dogs, or if your pet just needs some snuggles I’m happy to do that aswell! I spent 2 years working for an outdoor dog daycare gaining lots of hands on experience with training, socialization and regular dog care. I’m currently working part time morning shifts a few days a week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, from 8-12 other than that my schedule is pretty open! I like to do individualized care programs based off each pet’s individual needs, aswell as owner preferences. Because just like us, our furry friends have totally different likes and needs too 🙂
“This is the first time I have had Shelia watch my cat Rascal and I would definitely have her watch him again. She is so kind and she took the time to play with him as well. I had piece of mind knowing he would be taken care of while I was away. If you live in Burlington or surrounding areas, message Shelia and you will be glad you did.”
“Sheila took such great care of our two kitties while we were away. They were happy, content, and well cared for when we returned home. She was wonderful at communicating and sending us pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely recommend Sheila!”
“Emy was wonderful. Very professional. Treated my cat as her own. She truly is an animal lover. I would not hesitate in using Emy again should I require services. If you are looking for someone special to look after your pets Emy definitely is that person”
“I could tell Lob(cat) was well cared for while I was away. Excellent communication and regular updates with photos. I would recommend Toni to anyone who needs a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals, growing up surrounded by them and honing my care skills through professional work at an animal shelter, giving me hands on experience with all types of pets and their unique needs. I’m attentive to every pet’s personality and make sure they feel safe and loved at all times. I’m mostly at home every single day, meaning your pet will get constant supervision, attention, and care. They will have plenty of time for play, snuggles, and potty breaks whenever they need them. My home is a pet friendly space designed for fun and comfort: there’s open space for running and playing, a huge selection of toys to keep pups entertained, and tasty treats for positive reinforcement and special moments. I have a gentle 8 month old kitten who’s LOVES playing with other animals, making the space calm and welcoming. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize a safe, secure environment where they can relax and be themselves.
About: I have both professional and personal experience working with dogs and cats! I’ve worked in doggy daycares since I was 15 while also caring for family and neighbourhood cats. Additionally, I’m a Veterinary Assistant student that’s received a fear-free certification along with CPR/first aid training. I love all animals and enjoy caring for them! At the moment, I work part-time at a nearby doggy daycare but I am able to adjust my schedule to accommodate the needs of any future clients I always ensure I’m creating a safe environment for the dogs in my care, if we’re walking or at home. On walks I’ll always survey the area and watch your dogs body language to check for any anxiousness and handle all situations with a calm and collected demeanour.
About: I am animal care certified as of April 2023, i have 5+ years of professional experience and I have 2 personal dogs, 1 of which is a large, strong and powerful breed. I am currently working part time in Kennels and Boarding looking to pick up some pet sitting, walks, visits, and overall care on my off days. I am Pet CPR certified and have the ability to follow thorough instructions for individual pet needs. I am a fun and playful individual that both dogs and cats get along with!
About: My name is Karolina and I have been training dogs and horses for over 25 years of my life. A born animal lover and empath Ive kept animals off my plate since I was 7 years old, adopting a vegan lifestyle over 10 years ago. I've rescued and rehabilitated all sorts of animals in my lifetime and I will continue to commit myself to animal welfare and quality of life for the rest of my life. Animals are my purpose and educating pet parents on animal care and communication is my mission. I will always be the appropriate environment your pet needs. As a dog and horse trainer, my entire life revolves around animals and their needs, both physically and mentally. My days are dictated by the animals I have in my care that day My home is clean, tidy and doggy proofed. Fenced yard, my home is fully accessible including furniture, but can also provide structure "place" or crate time if required. Up to 4 walks a day. Water dish is always out and filled up with filtered water. Heat and humidifier is always on in the winter, A/C in the summer. As a skilled trainer I can reinforce implemented training and structure
About: Friends and neighbours rely on me to care for their pets. My kids (9 + 6) also love to help provide love and care to the pets in our life. We currently dog sit for my friend’s floofy sheepadoodle in our home multiple times a year. We walk many neighbours dogs, and cat sit when they are away. I have also been a cat owner for most of my adult life. I am self employed and work from home therefore I have an extremely flexible schedule. My family recently adopted our own 5 year old Bernedoodle who is the silliest and most loving guy! My oldest kiddo play rep sports throughout the year which brings us on the road a lot for tournaments and travel games. Our new family member loves to travel in the car with us to outdoor games! If you are comfortable, we can also bring your dog to the ball park to enjoy some fresh air and extra cuddles. We often dog sit for friends at my home and are relied upon for pet sitting for family and friends at their home as well! We would love to meet you! I have a 4 level back split with a fully fenced yard on the central Hamilton mountain. My home is totally pet friendly although I don’t have any furry pets of my own presently (only tropical fish and betas 🙃). I have 2 young energetic kids who love animals and would be over the moon to help care for your fur babes!
About: I’ve had dogs since I was five years old and truly can’t remember a time when dogs weren’t part of my life! I also helped my mom with her in-home dog boarding service, which has given me experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from puppies under a year old and dogs who aren’t crate trained to seniors who need extra hands-on care. I have experience giving medications, helping senior dogs up and down stairs or furniture, and using a wagon when walks are no longer comfortable. I’ve also cared for reactive dogs and understand the importance of patience, boundaries, and following each dog’s individual routine. We’re huge animal lovers in our home, and pets are treated like part of the family. Dogs are welcome to get comfortable, roam freely, play, relax, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I’m very comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities and want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and at home. I am a student with an flexible schedule, who is open most weekdays during the day to come and check in on your furry friends, walk them, take them to the park, etc. When I have pets in the home, they are the priority always. My day is scheduled around taking them out, play time, walks and treats. If I have to step out, I like to leave the TV on for them to feel calm. I enjoy taking dogs with me to the park, the Pet Store, or even other dog friendly stores like Canadian Tire/Home Depot. Pets are curious and should explore all day! At home, we treat all pets like our own allowing them to roam and as they please and hang in our fenced yard. At your home, I would follow any and all rules you implement, and ensure that I am constantly changing water, taking our furry friends outside, and keeping them entertained with toys and games.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
It is always comforting to get Caroline to look after Nash; as an older cat, he can have his challenges but he appreciates her patience and kindness. Caroline has always been focused on his health and wellness and I never hesitate to recommend her. She also looks after the house and make sure to make me aware of anything untoward, which I really appreciate. Thanks, Caroline!
Emily was absolutely amazing checking in on TJ while I was on vacation! She truly went above and beyond and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. She sent lots of updates and photos with every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Emily was reliable, caring, and clearly treated TJ like her own. If you’re like me and feel anxious about leaving your pets for any period of time, you can absolutely trust Emily to take great care of them. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful pet sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Once again, I was extremely pleased with the service provided by Laura. I had to leave my little furry friend at home while traveling for work, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in Laura’s care. She always takes wonderful care of him, keeps him entertained and happy, and regularly sends me lots of photos and videos, which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away.
Michelle was amazing. She sent photos, kept us updated on Luna's eating, and followed all instructions. She washed Luna's dishes even though we said she could just toss them in the dishwasher and even put bird videos on the TV to entertain Luna :) I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to pop in and feed or check on their pet while they are away. Fantastic experience
We had a positive experience with Rachel. While we were away for a night, she visited our home to feed our two cats who need individualized portions and are quite scared of strangers. Rachel followed our instructions and left our place clean. Thank you, Rachel :)

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Burlington 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.

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.
