About: I grew up with Moose, our family's Shar-Pei. The breed tends to be wary of strangers, and watching Moose slowly warm up to visitors taught me to let a new dog come to me when they're ready. I've also walked dogs for neighbours and friends, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. On walks, my phone stays in my pocket unless I'm taking photos for your update. That way, I spot a dropped chicken bone before your dog does. If your dog tenses up at an oncoming dog, a skateboard, or a goose, I cross the street or head the other way before it turns into barking or lunging. I also adjust each walk to your dog, whether they need a slow stroll with lots of sniffing or a brisk pace to burn off energy. I'll stick to your rules too: the commands you use, how many treats are allowed, and whether the couch is off-limits. I'm on a lighter course load this term, so apart from a few classes, I'm available 7 days a week, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. That means I can walk your dog at the same time every weekday while you're at work, so they know what to expect. I'm also around for last-minute walks when you're running late, and I can usually do a meet & greet within a day or two of hearing from you. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so if it shows me as available, I am. If my class schedule changes next term, I'll give you plenty of notice. At our meet & greet, I'll learn your dog's routine, how they are with other dogs, what spooks them, and who to call in an emergency, including your vet. On walks, I make sure your dog can't back out of their collar or harness, keep them leashed the whole time, and always pick up after them. They only greet other dogs if you're fine with it and the other dog's owner agrees. On hot days, I test the pavement with the back of my hand to make sure it's safe for paws, bring water, and keep walks short and shaded. When it's bitterly cold or icy, I shorten walks and stick to cleared paths. In your home, I block the doorway when I come and go so your dog can't dart out, and I never bring anyone else inside. On drop-ins and house sits, I keep meals, walks, and bedtime on your dog's usual schedule. When I'm staying over, I never leave them alone longer than we've agreed. Before I leave, I wipe mud or road salt off their paws, refill the water bowl, latch any gates, and lock up. After every visit, you'll get photos and a quick update, including bathroom breaks. If anything seems off, like limping or an upset stomach, I'll let you know right away.
About: As a third year pre-vet student studying Biological Science, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for animals through veterinary, shelter, research, and wildlife rehabilitation settings. I volunteer socializing dogs at the Humane Society, have worked with dogs in daycare, and have experience handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a university student with a flexible class schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my routine throughout the week. My classes are primarily during the daytime, with plenty of breaks between classes and open time in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around my schedule to provide walks, drop-ins, and attentive care for your pets. For house-sitting bookings, I can plan my time around your pet’s usual routine and will always communicate my availability clearly before confirming a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.
About: I've owned pets for years, including several cats and a small Shih Tzu, so I'm comfortable with both cats and dogs, especially small and medium breeds. Caring for my own pets taught me the everyday essentials: consistent feeding routines, leash walking, cleaning up, and noticing changes in a pet's mood, appetite, or health. I'm patient with shy or anxious animals and always follow each owner's routine closely, because I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed. I'm a full-time graduate student at the University of Guelph, so my schedule is organized around my classes. I'm usually available on weekends and on weekday evenings, and I plan my week in advance so I can give every pet reliable, consistent care. For House Sitting, I'll be at your home overnight and will return between classes whenever possible for feeding, play, and potty breaks. I provide care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable. I follow your routine exactly, including feeding times, walks, medication, and house rules, and I'll ask about any off-limits areas during our Meet & Greet. I always keep doors and gates secured, use a leash on every walk, and never let dogs off-leash in unfenced areas. I'll send you regular photo updates through the Rover app, and I'll look after your home as carefully as your pet by bringing in mail, watering plants if needed, and locking up whenever I leave.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals! One of my earliest “jobs” was pet sitting for friends and family, whether walking dogs while they were at work or housesitting for dogs and cats alike. I create my own schedule which means my availability is quite flexible! I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups or hang out with your kittens! I’m happy to provide home visits for play dates and walks, but open to bringing pets to my place as needed. I’m certified in Animal Care from the Uni, as well as CPR, First Aid etc, and I have an educational background in Biology with classes such as Animal Behavior.
“Samantha was awesome! She asked great questions when she came for the meet and greet, making sure she got all the information that I forgot was important. Her visits were always right on time, and she sent detailed reports. She was super when one of my cats was sick, and definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after. Highly recommend!”
About: The personalized care and genuine love we give to every dog we look after. We take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Working in the animal medical industry gave us the knowledge needed We treat every pup like they’re our own—with plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles! We also believe communication is important, so keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can relax knowing their furry family member is in good hands. For us, dog sitting isn’t just a job—it’s about building trust with both dogs and their people. We are organized, dependable, and able to plan the day around the needs of the dogs we care for. We enjoy having the flexibility to provide walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention while still maintaining a consistent routine. High fenced in yard Many parks and trails within walking distance Plenty of space in the home where special needs can be accommodated Experience with administrating meds and first aid care
About: I go beyond just feeding and walking. I’m genuinely passionate about giving each pet personalized care and love. Whether it’s gentle walks for senior dogs, high energy playtime for active pups, or patience and consistency with puppy training, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands on experience with pets of all ages, and I’m great at spotting changes in behaviour that might signal something’s off. I treat every pet like they’re my own with respect, kindness, and a whole lot of belly rubs! I’m currently a student at the University of Guelph pursuing a degree in biomedical science. My classes are all online at the moment so I am able to schedule my classes around my personal life. I’m able to provide pet services any time. In your home, I keep your pet’s routine consistent—meals, walks, playtime, and cuddles just like you would. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I also keep things tidy and stay in touch with regular updates and photos. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll get a cozy, stress-free environment with lots of attention, supervised play, and a calm space to relax. I always tailor my care based on your pet’s age, needs, and personality.
About: I have the experience with both small dogs and large dogs. My own dog is a doodle, I got him 5 years ago when he was only 2 months old. I walk and train him everyday when I am at my parent’s place. I’ve also trained and walked my friend’s dog when she is away for a couple months. The dog is a golden doodle, and she was 4 years old at that time. I’m a dietitian student having my one year internship. I am working in a ltc every weekday from 9am-3pm. I love dogs and cats very much, so I want to get rid of tired from work by spending time with animals. I also want to have some exercise and stretching by walking dogs. I will drive to my client’s home and take care of their pets. I will play with them, feed them, and using treats to have some basic training with them (e.g., sit, up, paw, rollover). If I need to walk the dogs, I’ll walk them in the neighborhood, and take care of their poop
“Highly recommend Christina! She did an outstanding job taking care of our 2 cats. One of our cats is very shy and quite bonded to me and normally hides when someone visits. Christina gained her trust and she became quite friendly with Christina! Both cats enjoyed Christina's company. Christina was always quick to respond to texts and prompt in sending daily texts including photos of our furry kids.Everything was left neat and tidy and clean. She definitely went way beyond our expectations! Hope to engage her excellent services next time we go on vacation.”
“Tyler followed instructions very well with Billy and when Tyler first walked in Billy was all over him. I had no worries at all that he was in good hands while I was away! Thanks so much Tyler ?”

I have also been relied upon for pet-sitting and dog-walking for a number of families for many years. Feeding, playing, exercising, cleaning, caring for all pets' needs. I am returning to my full time teaching job in September, which fills my days from 8 to 4, but I am fully available for overnight pet and house-sitting, as well as fully available on weekends! I ensure my own pets are comfortable and well cared for. When I stay in others' homes, I follow pets' routines and meet their needs.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy, whether it's going for long walks, playing, or simply giving them the attention and affection they deserve. Family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats while they're away because they know I'm dependable, responsible, and compassionate. I'm currently studying Zoology, where I'm learning about a wide variety of animals and their behaviour, health, and welfare. My passion for animals is what inspired me to pursue this field, and I can't wait to spend my career caring for them. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. My schedule is extremely open and flexible this summer. I’m currently a dancer teacher and in the summer will only be unavailable a few days each month. I’m also captain of my dance team which also only takes up approximately 4 days each month. Therefore i have love of time available to care for your pets :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel secure and reduce stress while their owner is away. I make sure they are always supervised, properly fed, and have fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I also take care to respect the client’s home, keeping everything tidy and following any specific instructions carefully. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by providing reliable, responsible, and compassionate care that feels as familiar and safe as possible for the pet.
“Emy was wonderful. Very professional. Treated my cat as her own. She truly is an animal lover. I would not hesitate in using Emy again should I require services. If you are looking for someone special to look after your pets Emy definitely is that person”
“Ciara went above and beyond with our elderly cats. Between the many prescribed diets + medications I was very choosy about who could look after them. We came back to haooy, healthy cats, she even took the time to wash used food dishes + clean litter boxes. The daily photo updates and info on days the eldest did or did not have meds was helpful to have as well.”
About: From the moment she adopted her first dog in her early 20's, Amanda has made learning about what makes dogs tick her passion. With stacks of canine behavior books adorning her bookshelf, and hour upon hour spent attending training classes with her own dogs, Amanda is continually looking to improve her knowledge of dog behavior. As owner and operator of Little Star Pet Photography where she continues to work on a part time basis, Amanda has considerable experience with dogs of all shapes, size and backgrounds. She regularly donates her time to various animal organizations in the area. I presently work full time, which does leave a lot of day time availability, but I am free evenings after 4pm and on the weekend. I will care for you pet in the way that you request, and will do everything in my power to ensure that they are kept safe, fed and well loved.
About: I have many years of animal care experience, including 4 years of experience working with farm animals! I have many years of volunteer experience working in animal care (shelters, pet sitting, and at a veterinary clinic). I truly have a passion for animals of all kind. I have a dog of my own named Lewis and I’ve had many other animals before moving from BC to Ontario! I currently work Sunday to Thursday from 8-4 as an Animal Care Attendant. I am happy to be there for your pet in the morning, evening and night. I provide lots of love, patience and understanding that meeting a new person/having a new person in your space can be nerve wracking. I will provide updates and photos throughout the time spent with your pet!

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 Eden Mills 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.
