About: I was raised around animals my whole life & love being outside. My childhood dog recently passed & I miss going for walks as frequently. I'm 25 and have dogsat for family and friend's a handful of times which has given me experience with small and large dogs. I'm a morning person so my timing is flexible! Im a shift worker so my schedule varries, but please feel free to message me with any scheduling inquiries. Before 10:30AM is usually a guarantee. I cared for my king Charles cavalier until she passed just under a year ago. More recently, I babysat my sister's great Dane and a family friend's shitzu. I love all dogs and I'm fit so I can handle larger dogs well; I can also take dogs for runs if preferred.

About: I have taken a pet training course for a full year, however was unable to complete it due to personal reasons. While I did not complete it, I can confidently say that I learned alot and will be very competent in taking care of your animals. I have had my canine first aid certificate, it is now expired but I still have all the experience to back up my abilities. I am also experienced in a variety of animals such as cats, fish, bunnies, and chickens. I have plenty of time on my hands as I am currently job searching. I'm available anytime of day, any day of the week, so my schedule is very flexible. I love spoiling my pets with attention, comfort, and lots of cuddles/petting. I treat all animals with love and care as if they were my own. I always try my hardest to create a calm and caring environment for both pets and owners.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs, big and small, as well as cats, all my life. I have long-term hands-on experience with feeding, walking, and bathing. I know how important it is to give pets the attention, care, and exercise they need to thrive. I'm confident working with different breeds and personalities, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am currently working full-time as a Youth Probation Officer. During the days I am in office, I will ensure your pet is let out and fed during my lunch hour. I am available most weekends and love spending my time outdoors. I have a fenced in yard with no animals currently in my home. I live in a residential area that is close to Jackson Park, Peterborough, which is great for a long walk with the pup. There is room for a crate if necessary.

About: I am a full time Government employee. I have had dogs all my life. I currently have 1 medium size dog of my own. A yellow lab mix. I live alone and have no kids. So I’m usually available. I work full time and available weekdays, weekends and some holidays. I work from 8:30am - 4:30pm. I work from home 2-3 days a week My dogs are treated like my own kids. They are well taken care of and have been for 12 years. They are getting up there in age with some difficulty moving around. Mainly the larger Choc lab who is on some meds for arthritis and allergies. My property is wirelessly fenced and dogs are both trained on the boundaries. Both dogs are insured. Poop is picked up on a daily basis to keep property clean. My dogs roam my property and house. I do have one dog that is a bit moody so unfortunately at this time I cannot board dogs but looking forward to in a year or so. Unfortunately my Choc lab will be 14 in Nov. Not sure how much time I have left with him.

About: I had the absolute honour to be a dog Mom for 15 years. My beautiful Benjamin earned his angel wings in September 2023 but I still remember how hard it was to find a loving & attentive dog sitter who had senior dog experience, and it was through Rover that I met some really amazing dog-sitters and I'm forever grateful they were part of Benji's journey. Benji had diabetes for years so I have extensive experience administering needles and oral medication. Benji was also a fussy eater so I’m also used to making meals tasty and the environment super relaxing to ensure your baby is as happy as they can be while you’re away. The primary reason for having a higher-than-average rate is because I promise to provide exceptional, safe, and attentive care to your precious baby. I’m also open to giving very frequent updates and photos to make your experience away from your baby as enjoyable as possible. I’m very mindful of safety rules and making sure you’re little (or big!) one is safe and cared for 24/7. I love dogs so much and I miss their beautiful love and light, and while I’m not ready to have another one of my own yet, I look forward to caring for your dog as I would my own. I love giving lots of cuddles, belly rubs and walks and I aim to make every dog feel super loved and adored. Right now I’m currently working in Ottawa for the federal government from Monday to Thursday. I work from home on Fridays, and I am available all weekend and would dedicate every hour to looking after your fur baby. I’m currently in transition to retirement, so I will be available for full-time sitting as of January 1, 2027. For boarding, I am comfortable spending all of my free time outside of work with your baby. I don’t have any obligations that would take me away from focusing on your baby’s care. I also live in a very quiet neighborhood, so it would be a peaceful and enjoyable experience for your little one. I look forward to meeting you and your precious baby! 🐶 For now, I work from home 1 day a week (Fri) and have to be in the office in Ottawa 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs). I would be able to be home with your baby (Fri, Sat, Sun) but if you’re going on vacation and request more than those 3 days I’m more than happy to do 7 days a week, as long as you’re ok with them being alone on the 4 days I’m in the office (from 7am to 3pm). As of January 1, 2027, I will be fully retired and available 24/7. I have a fully fenced yard and live on a corner lot so there is lots to see and sniff even if just running around my yard, but I am happy to go on lots of leashed walks as well. I’m pretty good at interpreting the signs for potty time, but I love learning as much as I can from you about what your baby’s habits, needs and preferences are. Being a devoted dog Mom for 15 years, I was always extremely careful about making sure my Benji was safe and happy, and I did many things to avoid potential situations, such as crossing the street on walks if another dog looked aggressive, making sure I had eyes on him at all times and knowing what he was doing, even when sniffing the ground, making sure nothing was on the ground that could be hazardous. Nothing was more important to me than protecting my Benji and also making him feel super loved and relaxed. Trust is so important when choosing a dog-sitter. I’ve had a few negative experiences when I needed one in the past, so I know how awful it can be to search and have to settle for mediocre care when in a pinch, so it’s important to me to offer the utmost in care for your baby and for you to be assured that they are in good hands. I’ve had very positive experiences using Rover in the past as a dog owner & I’m excited to now be able to give positive experiences to other pet parents as a dog-sitter. I’m more than happy to abide by any and all requests or preferences that you have when it comes to your baby and I’d love to know their likes and dislikes and whatever else will make their stay with me the best time ever!

Chloe took such wonderful care of our cat while we were away, and we couldn't be more grateful. She is kind, caring, reliable, and clearly loves animals. She kept us updated, made sure our cat was comfortable, and gave us real peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. When we came home, our cat was calm, happy, and well looked after, which says everything about the care Chloe provided. It's obvious that she goes above and beyond and treats every pet as if they were her own. We highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter. Thank you so much, Chloe, for your amazing care—we will definitely be happy to book with you again!

Robert did a wonderful job during our weekend trip! He looked after our cat Konatsu very well and she seemed to like him so much. He sent us lots of lovely photos of her with updates, too. He was reliable, experienced and flexible so we will contact him again the next time we go away! Highly recommended!

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 Cornwall 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 .

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 .

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, 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.
