“Linda took great care of our dog Georgie and our home. She communicated with us throughout her stay and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog and home in her hands. We would definitely recommend her and would book her services again!”
“I hired Ethan to watch my dog and tortoise for 5 days while we went up north. He was friendly, punctual, and great with the pets. Our dog did not seem stressed at all upon our return, and our house was spotless when we arrived. Will definitely book again. Thank yoU!”
“Holly was a dream! I was anxious to leave my 7 month old dog and adult dog home alone for a whole day while at an event, as they usually have one of their humans at home. Holly was quick to communicate, and most importantly my two dogs and 3 cats love her! My puppy can be nervous with new people, and my other dog has separation anxiety. However, they were both able to settle easily after I left! They were happy and relaxed when I arrived home which made it easy to decompress after a long day. Plus, one of my cats really enjoyed a 2 hour snuggle with her on the couch! Safe to say, our pets were well taken care of by Holly -- loved and cared for the way we would. The photo updates throughout the day helped ease this anxious pet mom too :)”
“This was our first time booking with Vivian & we were very happy with the care she gave our dog. She walked him twice a day, was very attentive during playtime & provided updates with photos & comments. We will definitely book with Vivian again!”
About: I've taken care of the family pets from puppy age all the way through to seniors since I was a kid. We always had dogs and rabbits growing up, and I love the company of pets and to entertain them. I have a huge soft spot for feline friends! I take special care learning how to approach and respect animals, nervous animals tend to feel safe around me which is awesome and a testament to my character and learning. I work full time so have weekends free at the moment, specifically Saturday and Sunday. I can do evenings during the week and usually have a day wfh every week. When I had my own pets I would prioritise them and ensure they had everything they needed. I ensure that escape artists are safe and can't get out, I also am clued up on what most pets should and shouldn't eat! Also aware of when pets are appearing unwell.
“Carrie took amazing care of our dog Freddie when we were away. She is so sweet and gentle with animals. She understood his individual needs and sent lots of updates. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies!”

About: IG: Lady.rav | FB: Raveen walks dogs - Halton & area Dogs are my happy place — I’ve always felt at home around them. I’ve owned four German Shepherds, all rescues, and have done a mix of personal and professional training with them (including one with dog aggression). Those experiences taught me how to understand dogs deeply, from their body language to the way they respond to human energy. I’m active, love hiking, and think everything is more fun with a four‑legged friend beside me. Dogs usually settle quickly around me and feel comfortable, which makes walks, playtime, and downtime easy and enjoyable. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or calm structure, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m currently building my consulting business, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility during the week to focus on caring for furry loved ones. On weekends, I volunteer helping abuse survivors move into safe housing during the day, so my evenings remain open and available for walks, drop‑ins, and overnight care. My schedule allows me to be consistently present, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language and needs. I double‑check doors, gates, and safety details, and keep communication open so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is a calm, secure environment where your dog can relax and you can feel confident while you’re away.
“We needed ozzie to be watched for the day while we were out and Nikhil was happy to help us out! We're so grateful that Nikhil is so accommodating. Thank you Nikhil and family, again!”
“Jeff was great in taking care of our 2 dogs in our home while we were away. He sent us photos every day and, most importantly, the dogs looked comfortable and enjoying their time with Jeff.”
“Melina did a great job. She sent us updates on the dogs and sent photos. She took good care of our babies. The house was cleaner when we arrived then when we left and dogs were happy. Thanks Melina!!”
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.
“Excellent experience with Lorin! Made sure we felt comfortable with an initial visit and was very organized and ensured she collected all the important information! Throughout her stay, sent many pictures and provided updates which made us feel so relaxed! Will definitely have her watch our pups again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. Growing up with five family dogs, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience providing love, exercise, and daily care. While attending university, my roommates and I rescued a senior stray cat and ensured he received the veterinary care and loving home he needed. My best friend and I also adopted a rescue dog with behavioural challenges, and through patience, consistency, and understanding, we helped him build trust and significantly improve his behaviour. I currently help care for our two family poodles and my boyfriend’s cat. With over 20 years of experience caring for animals of different ages, personalities, and needs, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own! I work full-time Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with every other Friday off. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting outside of my regular working hours, including evenings, weekends, and my scheduled Fridays off. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and am happy to coordinate care around your pet’s routine. For house sitting, I can provide overnight companionship and care while maintaining my regular work schedule. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs to make sure we’re a great fit! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! Having grown up caring for animals and currently sharing responsibility for two family poodles, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I provide care in your pet’s familiar home environment, following their usual feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual personality, comfort level, and needs, and always approach pets with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. I also respect your home and will treat both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away!
About: Looking for someone experienced and caring to look after your pets while you're away for the weekend? I'd love to help! I have years of hands on experience caring for animals, including being a current Vet assistant/receptionist. In the past I have been a professional pet groomer and a horse groom. I understand that every pet is different. Some are happiest staying in their own home, while others enjoy having someone care for them in a home environment. I take the time to learn your pet's personality, individual needs and routine.

About: Hi I am Emily, I absolutely adore everything to do with dogs. I am a full time animal science student. I am a senior, that has very flexible time for your furry family members. I promise to treat them as if they were my family, because thats what they are to you. I have worked in vet clinics as an intern and on a farm up close with animals on a regular basis. I am a very active person, who loves the outdoors so we will be spending a lot of time outside getting active and exploring. I am a big snuggler, my space no matter where it is is open space for animals. I have owned 4 dogs myself and various other animals (horses, rabbits, etc). I know life can get hectic and the last thing you want to do is have to leave them. I promise to treat them with the same caring loving heart you do when you are home. That is what I hope whenever I board my bestfriend.
About: I have had cats and dogs in my life since age 5 when my parents had a small farm.. My children are older and we no longer have a cat and I really miss having pets around.We had a cat for 10 years.I have helped out some of the neighbours when they are away on vacation or for last minute emergencies. Since before covid, I have fostered cats and kittens ..The pictures are of my own cat that we used to have and all the kittens we have had over the last few years.. 5 foster families in total! I love being a foster family.. Would love to help you to get away and have piece of mind that they your pets are being well loved and taken care of. I am semi retired so am usually around, and am free to give attention to your pets that are in need of care so that pet owners can get away or for anything that comes up. I can plan to help for a week at a time if given enough notice. Just check with me to see if I can help. I have no other animals in the house for your pet to deal with so my full attention is on your pet. It is preferred that you bring their own personal food, bedding that they love and special toys or grooming tools that your petloves. I think your pet gets used to things a lot easier with all their familiar items around.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Flamboro Centre
Syeda is a gem of a pet sitter! We have 2 rescues dogs, each with their own little quirks, and they need to get to know new people slowly. Syeda understood and took her time and now they are all besties. I trust her in our home and would highly recommend her.
Carrie stayed with our dog for a week and it was our first time leaving him for a week. She made us feel so comfortable and that he would be in good hands. She took excellent care of him with lots of walks and love. She was easy to get in contact with and always stayed in communication. She left our house just as clean as when we left. I would recommend her to anyone!!

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 Flamboro Centre 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 Flamboro Centre 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 Flamboro Centre 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.
