“Lizzy did a great job managing my crazy complicated feeding plan for the three cats and the fact that we are still using a cat gate to help integrate our newest cat. Shawnee took to Lizzy very quickly and seemed to always be purring in her presence. Gus got very spoiled with brushes and petting (as it should be). And Mac recovered his appetite and was his usual active self. I knew all this from the detailed detailed updates, and the fact that all was good with the house and the cats when we returned home.”
“Elle was absolutely lovely. Our pets adored her, she sent great updates, took excellent care of our home and the animals for a weekend while we were away. We would rebook her without hesitation!”
“Alex has done a good job of making our cat feel comfortable while we are away. Alex is also very respectful of our space and makes sure everything is clean before leaving. Thank you!!”
About: I have experience with various dogs from my previous job as Canine Coach at a Doggy Daycare. I have an 11 year old Husky and currently live with a 5 year old Basenji girl, so I am used to working with dogs of all ages and breeds and strive to find an appropriate approach to make your dog feel comfortable and safe. I am currently working Part Time from home, and my day usually ends at 2pm, so I would love to fill my days with more pup time. I live in a spacious apartment and have a crate at hand if needed. I will do my best to play and interact with your pet if they are interested, or just keep them company if they are not!
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience. I've cared for my own dogs and cats since childhood, helped foster puppies and dogs, gained professional experience caring for animals, and spent years providing trusted pet care for friends, family, and neighbours. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I recently completed my Master's degree at the University of Waterloo and am excited to spend more time doing something I genuinely love: caring for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy staying active through walks while providing pets with the attention, companionship, and care they need. My flexible schedule allows me to be available throughout the day and week, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet's preferences, exercise needs, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I have experience entering and caring for clients' homes through previous positions, so I understand the importance of being respectful, responsible, and trustworthy in someone else's space. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering routine care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet and home with the same care and attention I would give my own. For services in my home, I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to secure walking routes, a fenced play area, and a nearby fenced dog park for exercise and enrichment.
“Kara was amazing! Her commitment to ensuring our kitten felt comfortable and loved was truly commendable. She adhered to the feeding and play schedule diligently; her attention to detail in understanding our kitten's preferences and quirks demonstrated a genuine passion for her work. The updates and photos she sent were a delightful touch, offering us peace of mind while we were away. It's evident that she went above and beyond, creating a positive and nurturing environment for our kitten. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals shine through in every aspect of her service. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring companion for their pets.”
About: Hi! I'm Taya, a 37-year-old lifelong dog owner offering dog walking, pet sitting, and in-home pet care in KW and the surrounding area. I've spent my life raising large breeds, and the dogs that have shaped me most weren't the easy ones. I know from personal experience the anxiety that comes with finding a trusted person to take care of and understand the needs of a strong and reactive dog. My Cane Corso (147 lbs) was reactive — dogs, bicycles, scooters, you name it — and together we developed what I call defensive walking: staying proactive, reading the environment ahead, and keeping situations calm before they escalate. I know how to manage powerful dogs on a leash and how to advocate for reactive dogs in the real world. My Rottweiler had seizures, which means I'm also experienced in recognizing and responding to seizure episodes and comfortable administering medication on a schedule or in an emergency. I don't panic — I've been there. What I offer: Dog walking (including reactive and large breed dogs) Pet sitting at your home Medication administration if required I'm a responsible, experienced dog person who understands that your dog isn't just a pet. I am currently unemployed by choice. I have spent a few years in Australia and recently returned to Canada. I have all the time to dedicate towards pet care. I have a fully fenced yard with my home, with no other animals here. At your home, I will follow your rules. Pats and cuddles on the couch if it's allowed; if not, we will sit on the floor and cuddle.
“Hello, To anyone who is nerves like I was leaving my dogs with someone else. Rest assured Dave was awesome with my dogs and he treated them like they were his dogs! He is amazing and will definitely use him again. He was sending me updates on my dogs with photos all night and kept me up to date on them. Highly recommend Dave. Thank you Dave for taking such good care of my babies!”
About: I have taken care of many pets since I’m a child, so I’m very experienced and love to stay with them. I would love to provide the same care to your pet. I’m home full time, so I can care for the dogs according to your schedule based on their daily routine. I can keep them like home. I’m serious about keeping them safe and healthy, so I’ll watch them full time whenever they’re having meals, take rests or interacting with each other.
About: FIRST TIME BOOKING WITH ROVER? RECEIVE $20 OFF WITH MY CODE: KIRAO92445 I love being around animals. I have had many cats all my life and now I have a Husky named Aurora who is an absolute joy to care for . I have a 3 story townhouse with lots of space for playing and a fenced in yard with space to run and have unlimited potty breaks! Aurora loves other dogs and is not aggressive at all(she's not spayed). I am available around the clock to keep an eye on your furbabies and/or have a vehicle to visit your home for walks and anything else your pet needs. My cats keep to themselves but do not appreciate being chased, I can arrange to keep them in a separate room if need be. I can't wait to hear about all your little cuties and arrange for a time to meet you and them! I am a hairstylist working from home, I work part time as a beauty advisor and hangout with pets with the rest of my free time :) Because I have a fenced yard I can offer many potty breaks if needed and Aurora is available all day to play and tire your pup out! If your pup needs a lot of walks, I can also provide that no problem whatsoever.
About: I am an experienced dog lover who has bottle-fed newborn puppies, fostered a variety of dogs for a dog rescue, and provided dog care, walking and drop-in visits for friends and neighbours. I have one dog named Daisy. She is a small female Terrier-mix that and an 5 year -old Malshi named Finneas. I provide love, care and basic training/guidance if needed. I am also skilled in grooming and minor medical care, if needed. My previous dog lived to the age of 18 and required some TLC in the final months. I work part time and have the ability to do walks and drop in visits. I can do morning afternoon, or evening walk or visits depending on how much notice I get. I am not offering in home pet care at this time. In your home, I can take them for walks, look after food and water, play with them and live them up.
“Caroline was amazing with our Capri! She took care of all of Capris needs, we felt comfortable, and we were would use Caroline again! Capri loved her from the beginning and throughout the night.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over ten years and have experience with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing medication.

“Taylore was great. Very laid back but also took amazing care of Juniper while I was away for the weekend. My dog is very large and has a mind of her own and Taylore took on the challenge with no issues at all.”
About: I have been a pet parent all of my life. I grew up on a farm with every sort of animal. My parents bred Dachshunds and American Eskimos. Currently, I am mom to a rescued Frenchie girl with a heart murmur. She has a Grade 3 of 6 heart murmur which makes me especially familiar with special needs animals. Being a Frenchie mom also means that I am aware of the special needs of Brachycephalic dog breeds (especially during the hot summer months). I worked in a privately owned holistic pet store for more than four years helping customers find the right food, treats and remedies for their fur babies. There is no more satisfying feeling than the results of the help I provided. Seeing the transformation of the fur baby and the happiness that it brought to their pet parent ❤️ I also fostered for Niagara Dog Rescue for a brief period before finding my forever girls. I dealt with dogs with behavioural issues and showed them that not all humans hurt or leave. No request or care detail is ever overlooked. Post walk paw cleaning, face fold cleaning, special post walk treats... Clean water from a freshly washed bowl. Whatever your pup needs will be done. I practice Cesar Millan's techniques and am a calm and confident walker. However; I also know how super important it is for pups to have the opportunity for enrichment through sniffing. All dogs are the cute, cuddle kind. I can't wait to meet yours! I'm home full time other than when walking or checking on fur friends. Your fur family will be able to get as much time and love as they need while you are out/away. In my home, your fur babies become adopted family and will be given the freedom to roam and cuddle wherever they like. If your fur baby needs the safe space of a crate, that is completely doable.
“Emma was on time and stayed with our dog overnight and he was well cared for. We are very pleased to have Emma to rely on to care for our dog and stay with him so we can get away and see friends and family.”
“Kishore was fast to respond and eager to meet my puppy. He came by to meet us first, on his own time, and became instant friends with Twiggy. He is flexible and willing to make multiple visits. He kept me updated and sent lots of cute photos and videos.”
“Sarah took wonderful care of my 2 small dogs so that they were relaxed and happy when I got home. She provided regular updates which made me confident they were being cared for lovingly. Sarah is now my go-to sitter! Thanks, Sarah!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Erbsville
We had Dave housesit our home and 2 pets overnight and he was awesome. Our dog has medical needs and Dave was very conscientious about making sure his food and medications were given on time as required. Dave sent us a quick text every time he administered meds just so we knew it was done. A quick glance at my phone reassured me that my fur family was well cared for - updates about walks, poops and meds. We also got loads of pics of our pets so we could tell they were relaxed and happy. We are very happy and will definitely use Dave again.
Excellent! Met my boy first and went over everything. He has separation anxiety so she was able to keep him calm (eventually lol. It’s just the breed) He stayed close to her and happy to see pics of him nearby. Was worried about the weather and possible cancellation but she came as promised. No issues.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Erbsville 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 Erbsville 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 Erbsville 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. 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.
