About: I continue to operate a successful dog daycare boarding facility in the GTA that I started 20 years ago. I strive for a happy balanced pack ! I enjoy providing dogs with walks, care, overnight and also grooming! I have young kids at home but also active adult children , together we make sure our dogs always get lots of walk and playtime! I have an active home and give the dogs their own space when inside after all of their activity so they can rest in peace <3
“Maxine is super nice and easy to get along with. She's great with my Newfoundland dog. You can tell she cares and even offered to brush him while they hung out. She also doesn't take long to answer any texts. We're both very happy with the service.”
About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life. I currently have a mixed-breed dog, a Pug, and a Husky, and previously cared for a Lhasa Apso. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with feeding, walking, playing, and providing attentive care. colocaria no campo Schedule: I am a student with a flexible schedule.

About: I have been trusted to care for many of my friends/ families pets. I have three dogs, two cats and a rabbit at home, but I’m away for school right now. I’m missing them so I am hoping to be able to meet new pets while I’m away! I have 3 high energy dog breeds and have dealt with any situation you can think of. I am reliable and trustworthy, and will give your fur baby the best care possible! I’m currently in teachers college and am available most days out of the week! I have classes Monday -Thursday and I am home every evening. I have a bunch of walking trails right across from my house, with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and play. I can crate your dog if needed and only am out of the house at maximum six hours a day, so your pet will be in great hands!
About: Hi! I’m Emily ☺️ I’ve raised two of my dogs from 5 and 8 weeks old, including one rescue at just 5 weeks, so I understand the patience, structure, and consistency puppies need. I’m comfortable with potty training routines, basic commands, crate training, and building good habits early on. I also have experience caring for multiple dogs at different ages (my oldest is 4), so I understand how to adjust care based on energy levels and individual personalities. We have a large yard where my dogs are trained to run safely, plus wooded trails right behind our home - perfect for supervised walks and outdoor enrichment. I love being active and outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and attention. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own - with lots of love, patience, and cuddles. Your pup will be part of the family while they’re with me! 🐾 I currently have full availability - evenings and weekends included. I am open to multiple walks a day, or runs if preferred. Whatever your fur baby needs! I’m very comfortable with puppy routines, potty training, crate training, and reinforcing basic commands. I keep a structured but loving environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and rest. I love being active, so your dog will get exercise, enrichment, and lots of attention. Of course, cuddles and downtime are just as important too! In a client’s home, I follow your dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether that means sticking to feeding times, walk routines, crate use, or medication schedules, I’m attentive to details and committed to providing consistent, loving care.

Michelle did a great job caring for our cats & fish while we were on vacation. I received pictures & video updates, setting our minds at ease. All food, water, and litter boxes were taken care of as requested. We came home to happy pets and would definitely book with her again! 😄

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Callander is $36 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $53 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 34 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Callander. About 95% of Callander 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 Callander 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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
