“My husband and I love to travel. A big factor in the last 2 years (in addition to the pandemic) that prevented us from traveling as much as we wanted was that we now live far away from our families who would pet sit our cats usually. So when we had our recent trip to Spain, it was so crucial for us to find a pet and house sitter that we trusted with our 3 cat babies. Jessa was absolutely amazing with the care of our 3 babies. Nothing is more indicative of how great Jessa is with cats than the behavior of our middle cat, Trinity. Trinity is truly a scaredy cat and takes months or even years to trust anyone that isn't my husband or I. We've had friends who would come over to our house for years and they only see her in her hiding spots. But when Jessa was pet and house sitting, Trinity came out when Jessa was present within the first week! She even let Jessa approach her and sniffed her in the second week and would eat out in public with her siblings. It goes to show how sweet and gentle Jessa is with cats to have Trinity trust her so quickly. In addition, Jessa took excellent care of our house. We found our permanent pet and house sitter in PEI! Thank you!”
“Kat & David are very thoughtful and accommodating people. I had a last minute booking with them and they made it very easy for me to leave our Rottweiller in their loving care. Thanks again!”
“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! :)”
“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!”
“We were so happy with our experience of having Sarah stay in our home to take care of Archie. She sent several pictures and updates and we could tell he was well loved while we were gone. She left our house spotless and our dog happy and relaxed. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. We hope she is available the next time we are looking for a sitter for Archie.”
About: I am happy to adapt and adjust to the needs of your pet so they feel loved and comfortable. I had a very high maintenance mini bernadoodle Sadie for 15 years who required a lot of special care with many unique quirks. I’ve cared for reactive dogs and am very patient with any needs, including giving medication. I have an account on trusted house sitters and have been trusted caring for many homes and pets in Canada and Australia throughout my travels. I am currently studying part time online so am home most of the day except for the off appointment requiring me to be out for an hour or 2. I don’t have any pets, there’s a trail near my home and I am happy to follow any accommodations that your pets require from me!
About: I provide patient, personalized care for every pet, including energetic puppies and senior pets needing extra attention, while maintaining their routines, comfort and safety in their homes. I recently retired, which gives me the flexibility to make pet care a regular part of my daily routine for pet sitting, walks and drop-in visits. I provide safe, attentive care in your pet’s home, following their normal routines and instructions while they feel comfortable, secure, loved and well cared for.
“My original dogsitter canceled on me after I had already left town on vacation, and I was panicking about finding someone to stay at my house with my two big dogs. Luckily I found Maddy, and she was able to step in on short notice and take great care of my girls. While I was anxious about the pups being with someone they didn’t know, Maddy was great with them and made sure to send updates and pictures every day. I came home after more than a week away to happy dogs and a clean house. We’ll definitely try to book with Maddy again when we need a good sitter!”
“Kennedy took great care of my dog and cats while I was away. She sent me updates and asked questions when she needed to know about anything. It was a relief to know she was there and that my dog would get her meds on schedule. I would be happy to book Kennedy again!”

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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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, a background 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
