“Zeno hit it off right away with Marie. Loves having Marie here to look after him when we leave the house. Zeno suffers from separation anxiety and had a fabulous time chilling with Marie while we were gone. (and we didn't have to worry about him while we were gone...which was wonderful)”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 4 years and I have just over 3 years of kennel experience. I have cared for all types of dogs, cats, and other pets including rescues, seniors, puppies, kittens, and medically complex pets. I also have experience giving all kinds of medications and I provide baths for an additional fee. I am a student who is currently taking a break until the fall so I will have ample time and availability to care for your pets including weekends, mornings, nights, or whenever else you need me! I have lots of experience working with crate trained dogs, so I am very comfortable crating your dog. I have lots of availability throughout the day so whether your pet needs an early morning bathroom break or a late night snack I am available to care for them! I am used to preparing all different kinds of pet foods and giving instructed medications and supplements in a timely manner!
“Linda was great with my dog Coco. She provided photos and updates throughout my trip which I appreciated. Coco was well taken care of and I would definitely book with Linda again.”

“Jamie was amazing! We are always skeptical getting someone new to watch our dogs as one of our dogs can get very anxious around new people but Jamie was able to win her over very quick! He made sure to keep us updated on how things were going while we were away, which was nice being able to see how happy our animals were! Coming home to a sparkling clean house was also something that was way beyond what we expected, but he had made sure everything was ready for our return. If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies like they are family Jamie goes above and beyond!”

About: I have taken care of our pets since I was a kid. I have had everything from the regular dogs and cats to sheep, chickens and horses. I am a true animal lover and so is my husband. I work full time but in a rotation that allows flexibility. Love spending time at home with our furbabies and enjoying our backyard with yard work and gardening. We have a fully fenced yard for you pet to run around and beautiful areas as we are a few minutes from Bayfront park/waterfront piers. We have 2 furbabies of our own and we are both animal lovers.

About: I’m an outdoorsy girl with a big heart for dogs and a love of adventure. Seeing them happy genuinely matters to me, and I’ll go the extra mile for a wagging tail—whether that’s a walk full of interesting sniffs, extra playtime, or quiet company. With so much nature around me, there’s plenty to explore. Sunny days or snowy ones, I’m happy to head outside when it’s safe, always keeping your dog’s comfort, routine, and energy level in mind. I treat animals like my own children. Your dog’s little quirks, favourite games, and need for reassurance matter to me, because I want them to feel loved and secure while you’re away. Spending time outdoors is already a part of my life, so walks, fresh air, and adventures fit naturally into my routine. When caring for a pet, I plan around their feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and need for company. I make room for both the practical care and the little extras—playtime, cuddles, and time to settle in and feel comfortable. I care for pets like they’re my own children... with love, patience, and attention to the little things that help them feel safe. Before caring for them, I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs, so I can follow your instructions and keep things familiar. In your home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s usual routine, from meals and walks to litter care and favourite resting spots. In my home, I focus on helping them settle in comfortably, with introductions and time to explore at their own pace. Walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are always suited to your pet and the weather, with plenty of rest and affection along the way. I’m also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your loved one is doing.

About: As a pet parent and animal lover, I have always had a passion for caring for animals. Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to care for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, birds, and even reptiles. This has given me a wide range of experience in pet care and has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the needs and behaviors of different animals. I understand that pets are not just animals, but they are members of the family, and I will treat them as such. I am committed to providing the best possible care for every animal I am with. This includes following any specific instructions given by the parent/s, maintaining a safe and clean environment, and giving their loved ones plenty of love and attention. It depends on what the week is looking like. Message me to see if there is availability. I can do pet/house sitting, walking, and drop-in visits. As a pet sitter, my top priority is always the safety and well being of the pets in my care. I take every precaution to ensure that they are safe and secure at all times..

About: Welcome! We are a young married couple who adores animals. Caring for pets is our cherished side hobby rather than a high-volume business, so we choose to host only one family at a time. This allows us to offer a private and peaceful home sanctuary where we can pour 100% of our attention, warmth, and care into your little one. Our work-from-home schedule means your dog enjoys constant companionship, a gentle and quiet environment, and all the couch cuddles they could ever want. For our walking and house sitting services, we welcome well-mannered dogs of all sizes, ensuring every pup receives a tailored, boutique care experience. We are both small business owners with primarily work-from-home schedules. We have very flexible days and are able to give your pup all of the attention, cuddles, and supervision that it may need. We also love to drive the little one over to local hikes and beaches for safe but exciting afternoon adventures. Our home is peaceful with only two adults living here. We do not have kids or other pets and safety is our first priority. Our home is a stress-free, premium experience, particularly well, suited for smaller pets.
About: I've been around animals my entire life! Growing up we've always had multiple pets in our home. We've raised kittens into cats and puppies into dogs, all of this providing me with excellent hands-on experience with every stage of care in an animals life. Since I was 10, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after them. Now at 21, I’ve taken my dogs through training courses and have had plenty of experience caring for pets when my parents travel—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved! I am entering a full time job where I will work weekdays 9-5 but I have nights and weekends off and would love to help care for your furry friends! Although my yard is unfenced, I’m more than happy to take your dogs out multiple times a day and go outside with them on a leash to run and play. I’ll also gladly accommodate any specific requirements you have to ensure you and your pet feels safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs and cats ever since I was around 12. I love all animals and I think they’re a gift to this world! I’ve dogsat while traveling as well which has been very nice since I can’t quite get my own dog yet until I’m settled down. I spend most of the year abroad but am back in the GTA for a couple of weeks! I’ve missed being around animals so would love to take care of your pets while your away. I will take care of your home and your pets as if they were my own. :) I’m a very clean and responsible person and you can count on me to take excellent care of your home and pets.

Your dog is welcome to make themselves at home and snuggle up on the couch🤍. Always will be supervised in the fenced in yard and get lots of walks. It’s not necessary to be in the crate as we have areas of the house where your pup can roam safely.
About: Hi! I’m Hannah, a 26 year old Canadian currently living in Grimsby, Ontario. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always felt like second nature to me. Back in high school I started working in dog daycares through a co-op program, and quickly realized this was exactly what I wanted to do. From 2016–2022, I worked in different dog daycare and care centres across Ontario, gaining extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I want both pets and owners to feel comfortable knowing their pup is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and giving them all the love and attention they’re used to at home! Warmly, Hannah It fits seamlessly into my schedule as pet care is my full time job. Any day, anytime I am available. Send me a message to schedule! I am unable to provide pet care in my own home, but I can travel to the client’s home or hotel to care for their pets. I offer services such as dog walking, outdoor exercise, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love while the pet remains comfortable in their own environment or outdoors! :)
About: I have a lot of experience with cats and dogs, but also with bunnies, turtles, birds like chickens, pigs, fishes. I am vegan, so besides being a caregiver, I am also an animal defender, advocate, protector and guardian. I go out of my ways to ensure their wellbeing, safety and joy are prioritized over anything else. I respect their space. I usually ask if there's anything else that i can do for their care. Example: washing their water fountains, blankets, organizing their spaces, fixing toys, preparing homemade treats. I often fall in love, and given the time, even the most independent cats end up creating trust in my presence and allowing us to grow a unique connection and bond. I am a dual citizen in the process of changing carreers, so my schedules are very flexible. I tend to hyper focus on new jobs at first to learn as much as I can about my new clients personalities, needs, dynamics and environment. I also offer them a safe and clean space so they can be themselves, express their needs, with mutual respect and some discipline. I ask as many questions as needed to learn about my client's needs and expectations. I take a lot of notes and communicate openly about what I can offer for their wellbeing and safety. I adapt my schedules according to their needs and the methods I work for their requests. I avoid toxic foods in the house and harmful cleaning products. I don't smoke at all and I like organizing spaces with health and safety in mind. I change their water, clean their bowls often to avoid bacteria growth, scan their bodies as needed for their health. When allowed, I share healthy snacks and can even prepare balanced meals as treats.
“Jillian pet sit our three English Pointers while we were out of the country. These dogs are our whole life, and she was beyond amazing with them. My big goofy male who is very picky on who he likes adored her, so much so that he seemed disappointed when we returned home! Jillian made our dream trip worry free, and we have rebooked her for our next overseas trip. Thank you Jillian!!”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dunnville 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 Dunnville 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 Dunnville 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
