“Arjun did a great job dropping in to play and look after Ruby Sue! He took our last minute request and even squeezed in a meet and greet, listening to all our instructions and suggestions attentively, which put us at ease. Ruby can be an anxious girl and selective with strangers, and she warmed up to Arjun right away. She can also be high energy and he knew exactly how to manage her energy levels and provide the right level of attention and care- the updates and pictures during the drop in were appreciated! We would be happy to use his services again.”

About: As someone who has previously owned dogs myself, I understand that dogs are part of the family and deserve lots of love, patience, and attention. I recently gained hands-on experience working as a dog walker and loved getting to know each dog's unique personality. I learned proper leash handling, how to read dogs behaviour, be aware of surroundings, and how to follow routines. I am caring, dependable, and happy to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and enjoys their time with me. My goal is to make every walk a positive experience and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their dogs are being cared for. I have a flexible schedule that can allow me to prioritize your pet's needs throughout the day. I can accommodate midday playtime or walks, potty breaks, or feeding schedules. When caring for pet's in your home, I will strictly follow house rules, ensure all doors and gates are locked, and maintain your pet's exact daily routine to help keep them stress-free.I will respect your space and prioritize your pet's safety.
“Penny is super wonderful. We did a meet and greet and Cheddar was immediately at ease with her. She's gives updates and quick to respond. I am always confident that Cheddar is in good hands during Penny's walks and check-ins. I've definitely repeatedly book her and would highly recommend for any pet-parent!”

“Sheila has become our regular for twice daily drop-in/walk and it could not be going better. We've hired many Rover people over the years and Sheila is one of the best we've ever had.”

“Thank you Kirstyn for taking care of my two kitties while I was away on a longer trip, they really enjoyed your company! I appreciate the daily updates, great photos and very clear and timely communication, would definitely love to have you as their sitter again”

About: I've provided care for dogs of all ages (newborn to palliative senior), training and energy levels, and breeds (Chihuahuas to Great Danes & Mastiffs) through fostering, boarding and day care/walks. While typically busy on weekdays, I have plenty of free time on the weekends to care for your pet(s). I can usually be available with little notice. I would follow your safety rules and use your preferred tools (leash, harness, etc.) when babysitting/walking. I also have 2 friendly dogs and a fenced yard.
About: I am often the go-to pet sitter, walker, and trainer for family and friends’ pets/new additions. I am the owner of a friendly poodle and have grown up around dogs of all temperaments and sizes! I currently mostly work work-from-home, so I am available to provide attention and care needed for varying pet demands e.g. potty breaks, walks, training, etc. I am the owner of a friendly, well-trained poodle and like to go for walks/runs, so your pet will get adequate exercise if they’re up for it. I have experience with puppies and mature dogs
“Teresa took on my Persian cats with an open heart and they were so comfortable around her. She is so great with animals and takes the time to allow them to warm up. Both my cats need pills and she took on the high maintenance kitties with pleasure! And took time to play with them! This took so much stress and worry off my shoulders. We are so thankful to Teresa! And will be booking her again!”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and love working with all breeds and ages. I'm experienced with leash training and basic puppy obedience, and bring a calm and energetic approach to every walk and visit. I work mostly evenings, so I am available throughout the day. This means I have plenty of time to play with/walk your pup while you are at work! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I treat every home and animal with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, and pay attention to details like leash fit and environment during walks or visits.

About: Friends and neighbours rely on me to care for their pets. My kids (9 + 6) also love to help provide love and care to the pets in our life. We currently dog sit for my friend’s floofy sheepadoodle in our home multiple times a year. We walk many neighbours dogs, and cat sit when they are away. I have also been a cat owner for most of my adult life. I am self employed and work from home therefore I have an extremely flexible schedule. My family recently adopted our own 5 year old Bernedoodle who is the silliest and most loving guy! My oldest kiddo play rep sports throughout the year which brings us on the road a lot for tournaments and travel games. Our new family member loves to travel in the car with us to outdoor games! If you are comfortable, we can also bring your dog to the ball park to enjoy some fresh air and extra cuddles. We often dog sit for friends at my home and are relied upon for pet sitting for family and friends at their home as well! We would love to meet you! I have a 4 level back split with a fully fenced yard on the central Hamilton mountain. My home is totally pet friendly although I don’t have any furry pets of my own presently (only tropical fish and betas 🙃). I have 2 young energetic kids who love animals and would be over the moon to help care for your fur babes!
About: Hi! We’re Michelle and Ken, and we care for dogs together as a team. With opposite work schedules, there’s almost always someone home to keep your pup company and give them the attention they deserve. We both grew up with dogs and genuinely love caring for them. We treat every pup like our own and take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, we know how hard it can be to leave your furry baby behind! 🐾❤️ Every dog is different, so tell us about your pup! We’d love to hear about their personality, routine, and all their little quirks. My day-to-day routine allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. Mornings start calmly, making space for walks, feeding, and playtime before the day gets busy. Throughout the day, we ensure pets feel comfortable and included. Evenings are a time to wind down with another walk, dinner, and cozy relaxation so they feel settled and at home. We live in a house and your pets will mostly be in the upper part of house! There’s also a cute little backyard followed by a long driveway! We live with a roomie, who loves dogs as much as we do; he is not involved in the sitting just the playing and petting!!
“I booked Cameron for drop-in cat sitting services while away with my family for a couple weeks and was very happy with his responsiveness and detailed updates on his daily visits. Knowing our cat is being fed and doing fine is always important, but what I really appreciated was Cam's attentiveness in looking after our house while we were away. Without getting into details he noticed something wrong in our back yard halfway through our vacation, let us know the problem, kept us posted on the matter and did what he could to help fix it, including returning to the house to check it again later one day. I don't think all cat sitters would have been as helpful in this situation, so I'm glad I booked Cam and will do so again next time we're travelling.”

About: Hey! I'm Bree, a dedicated pet sitter based out of Hamilton, Ontario. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a little kid, and over the years I've built real experience with dogs who need a little extra care and confidence. I’m experienced caring for brachycephalic dogs, working with dogs with a bite history and all kinds of behavioural challenges, and keeping a close eye on escape artists who love to test their boundaries. Alongside that, I also care for cats, turtles, fish and small animals, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different, and some need a little extra patience, reassurance and understanding. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has their own very specific routine, I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved while their family is away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I love being able to give pet parents peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and plenty of care and attention! I offer a range of services to ensure your furry, feathered, or scaly friends are well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need boarding (if more comfortable, Luna and Ivy can be boarded at my mom's during your pet's sit), overnight care, or daily pet sitting, I’m here to help. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I strive to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer dog walking services. I work remotely on a flexible schedule, so I can build my day around your pet’s routine instead of the other way around. That means I can stay at your home for overnights, fit in morning and evening visits, and be there for midday feedings, medication times, or a check-in when your pet needs company. If your pet likes having someone around, I can work from your place while I’m there. Last-minute bookings, longer trips, and holiday coverage are often possible too, and I’m happy to keep to your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and medication schedule down to the minute. I care for pets in whatever setting suits them best, whether that’s in your home or mine. Most animals are calmest in their own space, so I’m happy to come to you for drop-in visits, daily sitting, or overnight stays. Boarding in my home is also available for pets who do well in a new environment. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine: feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep an eye on the house, bring in the mail, and water plants if needed. In my home, pets get a safe, secure, supervised space, along with the same routine, exercise, and company they’re used to. Either way, you’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I have experience giving medications and injections, and I’m comfortable with pets who are shy, anxious, or need extra patience. We’ll go over your pet’s routine, quirks, and any special needs at a free meet and greet before the first booking.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years and treat every pet like family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with medical or special care needs. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, following special diets, maintaining routines, and caring for pets recovering from illness or surgery. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I tailor every visit to their individual personality and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and one-on-one attention while you’re away. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to build trust, reduce stress, and make each visit a positive experience. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re home again. I’m available every weekend and also offer weekday visits by request, depending on my schedule. I carefully plan my bookings so every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I strive to be punctual, reliable, and consistent with your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I primarily provide pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain feeding and medication schedules, provide exercise, enrichment, and companionship, and monitor for any changes in behaviour or health. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Home boarding may also be available by request for compatible pets after a meet-and-greet, depending on the pet’s temperament, needs, and availability.

Jishan did a great job checking in on my two cats while I was away. He fed them and provided fresh water, gave my older cat her medication, and cleaned up their litter boxes, as well as played with them. He provided prompt updates, photos and videos to reassure me they were being well taken care of. Highly recommend Jishan!

Arjun did a great job dropping in to play and look after Ruby Sue! He took our last minute request and even squeezed in a meet and greet, listening to all our instructions and suggestions attentively, which put us at ease. Ruby can be an anxious girl and selective with strangers, and she warmed up to Arjun right away. She can also be high energy and he knew exactly how to manage her energy levels and provide the right level of attention and care- the updates and pictures during the drop in were appreciated! We would be happy to use his services again.

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 Elfrida 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.
