“We were a little anxious and hesitant at first but Rachel eased all that. Our first experience using Rover went beyond our expectations. She was amazing with our Henry.”
“Makayla sent me lots of updates and is super friendly!! Even when my cat is a menace, she was still sending cheerful updates! Would definitely book her again to look after Loki!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing with our daschund Henry. He is high energy and Kaitlyn handled him so well. She is calm and attentive. She went above and beyond in every way and was so easy to communicate with. Wonderful experience will definitely book again!”
“Sheila has become our regular for twice daily drop-in/walk and it could not be going better. We've hired many Rover people over the years and Sheila is one of the best we've ever had.”
About: My first pet as a kid was a cat my family rescued. When I was in high school I volunteered for 4 years at the Hamilton SPCA doing dog walks . And cats and small animal socializing. Career wise I worked in the child care field for 10+ years in different roles. In 2024 I changed jobs to house cleaning I also adopted a rescue senior cat that I later found out had diabetes in 2023 ❤️🩹 *** recent update . Because my landlady is also boarding dogs . And her place is small she asked that I no longer do it . My work schedule is flexible. But right now because I’m new on rover and things are slow I’m working mon - Fri So will be available for weekends . I can accommodate a week long booking I just need some notice to book the days off at work I care about animals like they are my own . And do my best to make sure they feel safe and loved and give them my time and attention , I do treat my experience as life long learning . I have a good friend who had her own private dog sitting business for over 10 years she did many workshops over the years she’s a wealth of knowledge for me . But I’m trying to catch up and learn about dog training and things like dog cpr online. So I can be the best dog and cat sitter for your beloved.
About: I've provided care for dogs of all ages (newborn to palliative senior), training and energy levels, and breeds (Chihuahuas to Great Danes & Mastiffs) through fostering, boarding and day care/walks. While typically busy on weekdays, I have plenty of free time on the weekends to care for your pet(s). I can usually be available with little notice. I would follow your safety rules and use your preferred tools (leash, harness, etc.) when babysitting/walking. I also have 2 friendly dogs and a fenced yard.
“This was my first experience using Rover and Danielle made it the best possible ! She is an incredibly sweet and kind animal lover who made sure Emmie & Greycy had lots of attention during her visits. I really loved that she sent me a short message and picture while I was away to let me know everything was ok. She is 100% reliable and dependable. I won't hesitate to ask her to look after my girls again and know that I can go away without stressing about their care.”
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: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals - cats, dogs, birds, Guinea pigs .. you name it! Today I share my home with a playful 2 year old Corgi, a 4 year old Pug and even a pet crab belonging to my eldest daughter! I truly adore animals and find caring for them to be one of the most joyful ways to spend my days. I’ve fostered, boarded and walked dogs regularly, so your furry friends will be in loving, experienced hands! I am currently available Monday - Friday from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM for drop ins and walks. I am open for reoccurring time slots as well. I am also available on weekends with 5 days notice! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority.

About: I’m retired from the Pharmacy industry. (In my past Profession I had federal government clearance) If you have a pet that requires medication I’m the person for you. I have a very flexible schedule and have my own vehicle . I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. I’m not able to have pets where I live, so I figured this would be a great opportunity to meet new people. Plus put that missing piece back into my life. I believe pets keep you healthier and happier. They are a part of the family and should be treated with kindness and love. I sit for a couple in Florida that have three cats. They call me the cat whisperer! I have also house and dog sat for my girlfriend for many years. Hope to hear from you soon. Katharine

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.
“Pruthu was very easy to work with and really understood our situation and what we needed when caring for our dog. Coco can be quite difficult to handle for strangers, but Pruthu put in a lot of effort from the very first session to bond with him and made him comfortable. That gave us a lot of peace of mind and I was able to be worry free for the four days we were away. Really appreciate the care and effort he put in with Coco. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for nearly 30 years and have had pets for most of my life. Over the years I’ve looked after cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and at one point my partner and I cared for seven animals at the same time. I genuinely love spending time with animals and understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and quirks. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply providing a calm and dependable presence, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d give my own. As a photographer, I also enjoy capturing the occasional photo of happy pets to share with their owners while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have the flexibility of running my own business. This allows me to be available for walks, visits, and pet sitting throughout the week while still maintaining a dependable schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that keeps their animals comfortable, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routines as closely as possible. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their schedule, environment, and expectations remain consistent. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or bedtime routines, I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs and ensure they feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I have experience with crate-trained dogs and understand the importance of maintaining those routines when requested. I am also comfortable supervising pets in securely fenced yards and always prioritize safety during outdoor time and walks. Above all, I treat every pet and home with the same respect, care, and attention I would expect for my own.

About: Welcome! We are a young married couple who adores animals. Caring for pets is our cherished side hobby rather than a high-volume business, so we choose to host only one family at a time.

We are both small business owners with primarily work-from-home schedules. We have very flexible days and are able to give your pup all of the attention, cuddles, and supervision that it may need. We also love to drive the little one over to local hikes and beaches for safe but exciting afternoon adventures. Our home is peaceful with only two adults living here. We do not have kids or other pets and safety is our first priority. Our home is a stress-free, premium experience, particularly well, suited for smaller pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Caledonia
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Alison is incredibly friendly, caring, reliable, and attentive, and it was clear from the start from our first chats to meeting Alison that our fur babies were in wonderful hands. We received regular updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our kiddos were happy and clearly very well cared for when we returned. We highly recommend Alison to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and genuinely loving pet sitter! 🐈⬛😻

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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 Caledonia 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. 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.
