“Jiaru is very responsible annd kind and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Our house was spotless when we got home and our dog was happy. We won’t hesitate to ask her to help us again.”
“Abbigale was such a great sitter for our pup! She handled surprises and scheduling with ease and flexibility, sent lots of picture updates, and was clear and communicative the whole time. So grateful for her love and care while we were away!”
“Cami was amazing! She cared for our 2 large breed dogs while we traveled from ontario to the island for a week. Daily photos, and updates were provided. I was beyond impressed with her communication. Both dogs were so relaxed when we got home. Cami, will be our go-to for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Hayley was an incredible sitter for our two pups! It's a balancing act to care for a 5-year old dog and 4-month old puppy at the same time, and she was patient, kind, responsible, and communicative. We had a car issue on the way home and Haley was super flexible and understanding about that as well. She made us feel really comfortable and confident about leaving our girls in her care. We'll definitely be having her back soon! :)”
“Cindy is fantastic! From the moment I met her I could tell how much she cares about animals. My puppy loved her, and it was so nice knowing Cindy had everything handled when I was gone. She’s professional, friendly, and great with pets. I’ll be booking her again!”
“Megen was amazing with our two dogs! They were so calm and relaxed when we got home, which shows how well taken care of they were. She was very respectful of our home and is neat and tidy. I would highly recommend Megan for your pets!”
About: First Year vet student in your area ready to help with your pets! I have always been passionate about caring for my own pets and being able to help others by taking care of theirs. I grew up with a Beagle and Sheltie-Collie, both intense and interesting breeds. I also have a cat of my own now. I understand how important it is to attend to the individual needs of each pet! Helping them enjoy their day and be their most relaxed and happy self is what I aim to do when I am caring for others pets. If I seem like a good fit for you I would be more then happy for you to reach out to me. : ) I am happy to come check and be with pets in early mornings and evenings as I am a vet student in the area. If walks are needed over lunch depending on your area I may be able to head over during my lunch break : ) I am happy to check up on pets in their homes and pet sit from their location if necessary. I am also happy to meet owners and dogs at there house to pick them up for walks!
“Rachel was amazing. My first time leaving Rexy with a babysitter but she was incredible with communication and reassuring me. She organized a meet and greet first so he and I both felt comfortable. She was always prompt and kept me updated with photos. Would absolutely book her again and plan to anytime I need a sitter. Thanks Rachel!”
“Molly was a wonderful dog sitter for our pup Harry. She provided plenty of check-ins and photos of them having fun and snuggling. It was nice to be away and know that Harry and the house were being well cared for. We will definitely book Molly for future sittings.”
“Lydia did a wonderful job of taking care of Archie and our home. Archie is a little shy but warmed right up to her. She took him for lots of walks, even in the rain. I’d highly recommend Lydia. We were able to relax and enjoy our weekend as we felt very comfortable leaving Archie in her care.”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong passion for animals and my deep, personal connection with dogs. Growing up, I had two beloved pups who were my constant companions. Being away from them has only deepened my love for pets, inspiring me to channel that affection into caring for others' furry family members. In addition to personal pet care, I bring unique experience from my home country, where I actively cared for street dogs. I provided them with food, offered them shelter, and ensured they felt safe and loved. This hands-on involvement has given me well-rounded expertise in understanding dogs of all temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. Whether it’s showering dogs with love, ensuring their comfort, or managing unique care requirements, my diverse experience makes me uniquely qualified to care for your pet with the same dedication and compassion I’ve always given my own. Trust me to treat your pet as if they were my own! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as my studies are currently complete, and I’m working part-time. This flexibility allows me to dedicate ample time to providing exceptional care for pets. I’m mostly available in the afternoons and early evenings every day, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s needs and ensure they receive the attention and love they deserve. When caring for pets at my clients' homes, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for them. I follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner to maintain their routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or any special care requirements. As part of my service, I also offer dog walking, ensuring pets get the exercise and stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. I make every walk enjoyable, safe, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and preferences. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care while keeping pets relaxed and content in their own space.
“Malu was great with our anxious girl! She kept me updated and was quick at answering. We were worried about leaving her with someone she didn't know but our dog warmed up to her quick!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both senior and young dogs, which has taught me how to adapt to very different needs and personalities. I’ve cared for a senior chihuahua with vision loss who needed patience, gentle handling, and a consistent routine, as well as a young toy poodle full of energy who thrived on play, structure, and attention. This range has made me attentive, calm, and responsive—whether your dog needs extra care and reassurance or active engagement and fun. I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full time in an office but I can easily do drop ins, take your pet for a walk and feed them. I can also do sit ins at your place and take them to the vet if you need. I focus on caring for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I make sure they get plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise, while keeping their environment calm and consistent. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality—whether they need extra patience and gentle care or more active engagement and stimulation. I also respect your home by keeping things clean and organized, and I’m happy to provide updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Krista was so wonderful! She was attentive and went out of her way to keep my home clean while I was gone. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to cat care and common veterinary conditions as well and I would certainly hire her again!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for several years and currently share my home with two German Shorthaired Pointers, ages 7 and 4. Caring for high-energy dogs has given me extensive experience with daily walks, exercise, feeding routines, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing each dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand that every pet thrives on consistency, so I take the time to follow your routine and provide the same level of care and attention they’re used to at home. Whether it’s a walk to burn off energy, a drop-in visit for meals and companionship, or staying in your home while you’re away, I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. As a full-time Health & Safety professional, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and understand the importance of following instructions carefully. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m currently available for weekend dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. On weekends, your pet will have my full attention, whether they need exercise, companionship, or care while you’re away. I’ll always communicate clearly, provide updates and photos, and follow your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, especially while their family is away. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines that help your pet feel comfortable. During drop-in visits and walks, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and bathroom breaks. I’ll also provide lots of affection (if they enjoy it!) and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own—making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities.
“Ian was a wonderful care provider for our senior lab cross and pitty cross - both with mobility challenges and with the potential of requiring administration of meds if either came up lame. Ian was willing to take that on and I was grateful to have someone who was attentive to their needs and send me little videos and pictures for my peace of mind as he had them for nearly 3 weeks. The house was tidy and taken care of and all was in good order. I highly recommend him! Thank you Ian!”

Jessa took care of our cats while we were on holiday in Portugal for 3 weeks and as always, she took such great care of our fur babies. We'll pretty much only book holidays once we confirm that Jessa is available for pet and house sitting because she's the best!
We had a great experience with Vibhu! He did house sitting for us for a week. Our 11 month old golden retriever is quite anxious with new people but Vibhu was patient and took his time with our pup. He was flexible when we had a slight schedule change. We received regular updates and pictures throughout the week and the house was left in great shape upon our return.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cornwall 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.
Tip: 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 Cornwall 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 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!
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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
