“I can't recommend Josephine enough—she was amazing! Before our 14-day trip, she met with us so Ollie could get comfortable, and he loved her from the start. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Josephine went above and beyond, even leaving our home cleaner than when she arrived. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!”
“Tia did a great job looking after our dog and cat while we were away! We received regular updates and our pets clearly had a great time in her company. Tia certainly went over and above looking after them. Definitely recommend!”
About: I've been dog sitting and walking small to extra large dogs for over 5 years! I've also had large dogs my whole life. I enjoy spending time outdoors and going for walks and having a pet with me makes it better! I've grown up around puppies as well as dog sat puppies before. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I go for walks everyday, and I'm on a regular routine with times I am available to let dogs out and feeding. I care for pets like they are my own! As a pet owner myself, I take caring for someone's pet very seriously. I will treat your pet as it was my own.
“Myriam was a pleasure to work with. Her genuine love for animals was evident from the start, and our dog, cat, goats, and chickens were all exceptionally well cared for during our absence. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We returned to a clean, well-maintained home and happy, relaxed pets. I would confidently recommend Myriam to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Ami communicates well and is reliable. She went out of her way to ensure that she didn’t have to cancel her stay with us even when she suddenly found herself without a car. We really appreciate that! Our pets were calm and happy when we got home, which is so important! And while our pets aren’t on any daily medications, I like that Ami is a vet tech and would know what to do if their health status changed while we were away. Thanks again!”
About: I've taken care of pets of all sorts for the last 20 years. It started with family friends and eventually my name spread. I have cared for animals of all sizes, from pocket dogs to giant breeds. I have cared for puppies and kittens, and senior animals, giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I have worked as a professional dog walker in the past and built some experience working with animals that required medication in both needle and pill form. My greatest asset is my ability to match your schedule as closely as possible, helping ensure your animal experiences minimal disruption and stays as relaxed as possible. I own a content marketing business and I am able to work flexible hours. This means I can meet pet care needs whenever and wherever you need. My work schedule can work around you and your pet. When I look after animals in client homes, I leave the smallest foot print possible. My focus is on your pet. I will respect the rules and boundaries you have set for them and keep your home as you left it. Other than a happy pet, there will be no other signs that I was there.
“This was my first experience with Rover. It was a desparate last-minute request for an in-my-home dog sitter. I am pleased at how well it all unfolded. Caitlin was punctual for the short notice meet and greet. I have three small dogs with various quirks and needs. Caitlin listened intently to the confusing narrative I offered about the dog's various needs. She made sense of it all and stated that none of it presented any difficulty for her. Interestingly, all three of my dogs were intruigued by Caitlin and did not offer the sort of resistance that they usually display towards strangers. The next day, Caitlin was again punctual, actually ready to start the assignment before I was ready. The dogs remembered her and I could see that they would be comfortable with her. She handed them all some of their favorite treats and the deal was sealed. I was only gone for one night but it all seemed to go very well. Caitlin sent me a photo of the pups looking very relaxed and she advised me of her departure time. The house looked cleaner than it was when I left which was a pleasant surprise, Dishes were washed and put away. The dogs bowls were all in their respective places with the right foods in them. Caitlin stripped the bedding making my return that much easier. I have nothing but positive feedback for this dog sitting experience. Thank You Caitlin !”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Gananoque 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 Gananoque 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 Gananoque 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 89% 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.
