“Words cannot express how wonderful Jady is. We originally booked her but shortened our request from 2 weeks to 1, in which Jady was very accommodating. Unfortunately, we ended up needing Jady for that 1 week we cut off- Jady was flexible and so kind to help us despite everything. Jady was timely, friendly, and overall amazing. We received great pictures and videos - and our cat loved Jady too! Normally our cat is shy, but not with Jady :) Thank you so much. We really appreciated everything!!”

“Nikki was absolutely wonderful with my kitty! She took such great care of her, making sure she was fed, played with, and received all of her medications. I especially appreciated how attentive and gentle she was, and how she kept me updated every day with pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my kitty was in such caring hands while I was away. Nikki was reliable, kind, and truly went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I've cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, always treating them like my own, providing a calm presence, safe environment for them to roam freely, always keeping them on their routine and putting their needs first. My goal is to help your dog be comfortable and be someone you can trust your family member with. Understanding where a dog is in their life and what level of exericse they need, what type of mental stimulation they're looking for, or any type of health-related issues they're dealing with are things that I have dealt with before. No dog is the same, and they each require a tailored plan to meet the level of comfort they require to be happy and healthy. I will try to understand what your expectations are and not provide a one-size fits all solution. I've cared for dogs with issues like allergies, arthritis, mobility issues, even cancer. I'm also experienced in administering medication, treating skin conditions, special feeding instructions, preparing homemade dog food, natural joint care supplments and more. I work from home and don't follow a fixed work schedule. I enjoy being outdoors and look forward to being away from screens. So any chance I get to be outside and walk is time that I enjoy taking for myself and any dogs in my care. Dogs in my care will be able to roam the house freely, or I can provide a crate if needed. I have a fenced backyard, and there is a park 50 metres aways plus more parks within 5 minutes walk from my home. I'll keep the dogs on their routine, feed them on time, socialize them with other neighbourhood dogs on our walks, and generally treat them like they belong to me — providing attention and care throughout the day. Dogs are part of my life and I want to be around them and understand who they are. I don't leave my dogs alone and do my own thing, they are always next to me and I'm always putting their needs before mine.

About: As longtime dog parents ourselves, we understand that finding a sitter online and leaving your beloved dog with someone new can feel stressful and emotional. We’ve been in that position and know the amount of trust it takes to hand over a family member to someone else’s care. My husband and I are both passionate animal lovers, especially when it comes to dogs. We had the privilege of raising our two beloved pups: a 17-year-old Maltipoo and a 13-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, from their younger years all the way through their senior stage of life. They recently crossed over to doggie heaven, but caring for them through every stage of life taught us patience, attentiveness, and how much individualized care each dog deserves. Because of our experience as dedicated paw-parents, we understand different personalities, routines, energy levels, and the changing needs that come with age. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, prefers a slower pace, needs extra patience, or simply wants comfort and companionship, we aim to provide a safe, loving, and calm environment. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated like family, not just watched over. We’ll care for them with the same thoughtfulness, affection, and attention that we always wanted for our own dogs, and we’ll keep you updated along the way so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re apart. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because both my husband and I work hybrid schedules. This gives us the flexibility to coordinate our workdays and make sure someone is home to provide attention, companionship, walks, potty breaks, meals, and supervision throughout the day. We’re typically available all week and are able to adapt to your dog’s normal routine as much as possible to help them feel comfortable and settled. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, relaxing company, regular walks, or simply having someone nearby, we aim to provide a calm and consistent environment rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Since we currently do not have children or other pets in the house, your pup will receive our full attention, care, and companionship during their stay. We live in a 3-storey townhouse and thoughtfully manage the space with pet safety in mind. To keep things comfortable and reduce the risk of slips or accidents, stair access will be gated so your dog can safely roam and relax mainly on the main living level with us. Because we’ve been pet parents ourselves, we understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. We’ll take time to learn your dog’s routines, preferences, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any house rules you’d like us to follow so their experience feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. We’re also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos at a frequency we agree on beforehand, so you can stay connected and enjoy peace of mind while your pup is with us.

About: I had been living with and taking care of cats since I was 6 years old. I am absolutely a cat lover and couldn’t imagine life without cats being around. I am currently a parent of two cats, one male and one female who are both neutered. I had experiences taking care of new born kittens as well as helping neighbours and friends taking care of their cats and have them staying at my house when they are on vacations. I have a big clean house with fenced yard and finished basement located in a nice neighbourhood in Oakville. If I am lucky to have your precious cats staying with us in my house, they can play with my cats or stay alone whatever they want. I will make sure to provide them everyday clean filtered water to drink, dry and canned food to eat, dust-free litter to use, and toys and cat trees to play with, and of course my love :) We always have somebody at home so very flexible to do home stays for cats. We have 2 cats and one child currently go to school which proves we are responsible and reliable people. I live in a nice clean and big house with fenced yard and finished basement located in Oakville. We have 2 cats to give your cats company, also if your cats want to be alone we have enough space and levels in the house to keep them separated.

About: I have had formal training with the both the Kitchener SPCA as a dog care attendant and Paws it Forward foster agency as a foster parent for numerous dogs of all sizes and backgrounds. This has allowed me to develop my skills as a pet sitter and ensure that I am properly taking care of your animals as per industry standards. Additionally, having both a cat and a special needs dog gives me the understanding of the responsibility of looking after another persons pet. As a care provider I am kind, energetic and attentive. If I seem like the right fit don’t hesitate to reach out! I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m able to take breaks to check in on them, provide meals, fresh water, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. Because I’m home for most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I can also be flexible with timing and adjust my schedule around your pet’s routine and individual needs. Whether your pet is looking for a walk, some playtime, or simply a little extra company during the day, I’m happy to provide a calm, comfortable, and caring environment while you’re away. I care for every pet according to their individual needs, personality, and routine. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for pets in house, I make sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I personally have a high energy pembroke corgi and cattle dog mix and have been training her for a year now. I have experience with leash walking training, command training, and creating a stimulating environment for your pet. I have experience dealing with difficult walkers: pulling and lunging or car and biker triggered dogs and I understand the struggle of dealing with that reactivity. My focus is on creating an engaging training and intellectual environment and making it an incredible time here for your doggo! I have brain games available for the very intelligent breeds and play a good game of fetch for the runners. Cuddlers who want to curl up and nap are also welcome. With an amazing friend to play along with and cuddle with, the fun never stops. I am currently working from home, so I get lots of time during the day to care for the pups! My family members are also available most of the day to help. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly dog who is always ready to play! We also have a protective gate before the front door to ensure the safety of the dogs!

About: Hi, I'm Kate! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My love for dogs started when I was young through my cousin’s Golden Retriever. Although I couldn’t have a dog of my own growing up, I formed a very special bond with him and quickly fell in love with everything about having a dog in my life. Eventually, I got the chance to have my own dog, Tyson, a wonderful German Shepherd who was part of my family for 10 years. He taught me so much about the bond between a dog and their person, as well as the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to their individual needs. Since I was younger, I’ve also had years of experience spending time with, walking, and helping care for dogs belonging to friends and family. I’ve gotten to know many different dogs over the years, each with their own personalities, energy levels, and routines. I still regularly walk with a former coworker and her dog, and I enjoy spending time with and walking a family friend's Australian Shepherd. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique quirks. I’m excited to bring that same care, patience, and attention to the dogs I meet through Rover. 🐾 I’m primarily available on weekdays, preferably before 7 PM, with some flexibility for evenings and weekends when needed. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works for everyone. When caring for pets in their home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routine and their owner’s instructions as closely as possible. I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m attentive to their behaviour and individual needs, and I’ll keep pet parents updated throughout their care. I’ll also treat their home with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Asia was taking care of my 16 years old cat for two weeks. She was visiting my house daily at earlier agreed time ensuring my cat got fresh food, clean litter and provided some play and interaction time with lulu the cat. Communication with Asia was excellent, she has responded to all my messages in a timely manner providing precise responses along with my pet's photos. If you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy person Asia would be the one to go with. Asia is also a wonderfully charming person.”

About: Spending time with my Rover pups is truly the highlight of my week! 🐾 I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and I absolutely love them all. Outside of being a third grade teacher, I'm a dedicated dog lover and also volunteer at the Humane Society. Feel free to reach out with what you're looking for & I’ll get back to you as soon as I can! As a teacher, I have extra time during the summer, weekends, holidays, and after school to spend time with your pup! My schedule outside of regular school hours is flexible. As a fellow dog owner (and Rover user!), I understand how important it is to know your pup is in good hands while you're away. Whether they need a quick potty break and some playtime or a longer walk or hike, I’d love to keep them company! Heading out of town? While I’m not currently offering full-day house sitting, I’m happy to provide multiple visits throughout the day (morning, afternoon, and evening) to make sure your pup stays well-exercised, fed, and happy while you're gone.

Siri was absolutely amazing, and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better person to look after my cat! ❤️ From the very beginning, she was so kind, caring, and thoughtful, and it genuinely felt like she was looking after my cat as if she were her own. She went above and beyond to make sure my little girl was happy, comfortable, and showered with love and attention. Knowing that she was getting plenty of cuddles, playtime, and affection while I was away meant the world to me. One of the things I appreciated most was how wonderful Siri was with her updates. Her Rover cards were always incredibly detailed, filled with lovely photos and videos and thoughtful little updates about how my cat was doing. It was so reassuring, and honestly made being away from her so much easier! It’s not easy leaving your pet in someone else’s care, but Siri gave me complete peace of mind. You can tell that she has such a genuine love for animals, and that this is so much more than just a job to her. I’m truly so grateful for all the love, kindness, and care she gave my cat. Finding someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your fur baby is priceless, and I feel so lucky to have found Siri. I would book her again in a heartbeat, without a second thought!

Jady was amazing with our two cats, one adult and one senior. Our cats don't get along with each other so they need special care instructions to manage and keep them separate and safe while we are away. Jady was excellent in managing this special arrangement with ease. She was great in communicating, ensuring all instructions are properly understood, & providing timely updates. We felt really glad to know our babies are in such good hands. Highly recommend her as a cat sitter.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Drumquin

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 Drumquin 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.
