About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since the age of 10! Always grew up with dogs - large and small - and currently own 2 mini schnauzers who are completely spoiled! I work part time as a 911 dispatcher - working straight nightshift. Always looking to bond with as many dogs as possible in everyday life! My two mini schnauzers are the light of my life. They are spoiled beyond compare and always get the attention they deserve. Our house revolves around the dogs - as it should be! Always looking to swoon over other dogs and help out fellow dog owners in anyway I can!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life through my family for thirty-three years and cats for twenty-five. Two years ago I adopted my first dog and greatest friend in life, a Golden Retriever named Chewie! Twelve years ago I initially fostered but later adopted two Bombay cats I named Luke and Leia. Luke passed away in 2020 but Leia is still as young as ever at twelve years old! I’m currently looking to make a career change from human services into animal care and seek further knowledge of animals to further my passion for animals! I have a fenced yard for my two year old Golden Retriever so he can roam the yard and do his business as he pleases.
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 have 2 dogs of my own! I was able to care for and train the 9 puppies they had. I have also taken care of senior dogs, cats of all ages, and kids My routine revolves around pet care without question. When I wake up I make sure to take my dogs for a walk, given their medication, and food. The pets come before anything else I make sure there is clear communication between the client and I. Many pets have their own schedule and I will follow that. I believe with communication, there is nothing that could go wrong.
About: I come from Ecuador where having a dog as part of the family is very common - so as a dog-lover here in Port Colborne, I am happy to provide the wise loving care you want for your pup. I have a sweet female 2-year-old golden doodle who is totally part of my family. I’d welcome your dog, too - whether it’s for a walk, a day-long play date, or a sleep over. When caring for pets, I feed them, give them fresh water, walk or play with them, and clean up after them. I make sure they're comfortable and happy.
“Harsimran was an amazing cat sitter! It was clear how much she genuinely loved and cared for my cats. She was attentive, caring, and very reliable, and her communication was excellent throughout. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dogs Nest
My experience with Sara was 10/10! From our meet-and-greet to the drop-in visits and her consistent communication, I felt so relieved knowing my cats were in great hands while I was away. Sara was prompt with her updates, communicative, and gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were being well taken care of.
This was our first time having someone other than friends or family come in and take care of our dogs, but Sara was great. She took the time to come and meet us and our dogs ahead of time and get familiar with them. The visit went smoothly and she took care to follow our one dog’s specific feeding routine. We were very happy with Sara and will absolutely book with her again.
I had a last minute need for a drop-in visit due to my family friends being busy and unable to help. My boyfriend and I both were on nights and we wanted someone to come let our pups out and feed them dinner! I messaged Katherine the day before and she was more than accommodating, even ended up dropping by that night for a meet and greet so she could meet me and the pups! Katherine was amazing with my pups and handled their puppy excitement perfectly! Katherine remained in contact before and after the drop off to update me which I loved! My pups are my children for sure and having someone who provided amazing updates was great ☺️

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 Dogs Nest 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.
