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.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. My father was a certified breeder. I have a 2 year old Australian Shepherd/Husky. Also, we had a special needs dog who had many issues. I have 13 years of experience with administering medications and insulin via syringe. I’m currently working part time and starting my own business so I’m looking for something to fill the gaps. Filling my time sheet with animals is the best. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for a dog to run and do their business. Plenty of toys and fun things for them to do.
“Xenia stayed at our place over the weekend to care for our dog and she was fantastic! She sent us photos and videos throughout the day to keep us updated and was respectful of the space. We’d be happy to have her care for Millie any time :)”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, detail oriented pet sitter focused on providing a calm and comfortable experience for your pets. I take time to closely follow your routine, keep you updated, and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you're away. Outside of my primary job, my schedule allows for great flexibility during evenings and weekends. I can easily manage my time to provide consistent drop-in visits, feeding, and overnight house sitting. Volunteering at an animal shelter has given me great experience reading pet behavior, handling different personalities, and keeping pets calm. At your home, I strictly follow your pet's exact routine, respect their space, and ensure a safe, comfortable, and low stress environment.
About: I have two dogs one is twelve and one is four I also am a animal care graduate from college and I have previous experience working with dogs/cats of all sizes I am not really working at the moment so I have time to walk, play and take care of your pups if you need to step out for a bit I have a fenced backyard and two dogs to keep one medium and one small to keep yours company and I have lots of toys for your pups to play with.
“Sarah took great care of my sweet boy Enzo while I was away. She was reliable, kind, and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind. Enzo was happy, well cared for, and comfortable with her. I really appreciate the care and attention Sarah gave, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. You could tell she genuinely loves what she does.”
“"Paige watched Pickles for a couple of nights and did a fantastic job! She sent pictures and updates, which completely put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!"”
About: Hi! We’re Hemmy & Gillian, an animal-loving couple who’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and caring for pets feels natural to to us. I have hands-on experience looking after dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from playful puppies to calm senior dogs. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. My boyfriend and I treat every pet as if they were our own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, fetch, or just quiet companionship, we’re happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always our top priority—and we can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐶🐱 I’m 25, currently working as an admin assistant and running a small business making candles! Hemmy works full-time in aviation and is in the CAF so he will be on weekend bookings only. My mom stays with my dogs during the day at the moment but I am trying to change that and walk my own dogs and other dogs more! If you are looking for someone to put their all into taking care of your pets, that would be us! We are probably some of the most animal-loving people you will ever meet. We would love nothing more than to give your furry friends the nice, fun walks and genuine care they need!
“Lesley was wonderful with our senior pup and kept him so happy while we were out! She was through in understanding what he likes and doesn’t and ensured that he was content and well taken care of. We would love to have her back!”
“Liliana was punctual upon arrival. She watched our dog for 3 days in our home. Liliana walked him as per our request. She communicated & sent pictures throughout her stay. I would highly recommend Liliana to watch your pet. We will definitely be requesting Liliana again in the future.”
“Mary was excellent as always. She watched our cat and house while we were away in Alaska for 10 days. She sends lots of pictures and updates. She follows his routine to a tee. He was very relaxed when we got home. She left the house exactly as it was when we left. Thanks again Mary!”
“Amanda took great care of our cat, Jimmi, while we were away for the weekend. Jimmi is nervous around new people, but he took to Amanda very quickly. Amanda played with Jimmi and gave him lots of attention and affection. She also gave him his medication without issue. She sent us updates and photos while we were away. We were very pleased with Amanda's care of our cat and will request her services for our next vacaton. We would highly recommend Amanda as a pet-sitter.”
“Anne was an amazing house and cat sitter for us. Before our trip, she was very thorough and asked thoughtful questions about our home and how to care for our fur baby, Nova. We really appreciated how attentive and prepared she was. It gave us confidence that everything would be well taken care of while we were away. During the stay, Anne provided daily updates and handled everything around the house seamlessly. It was such a relief knowing Nova was in great hands. We came home to a happy cat and a perfectly looked after home. I would absolutely recommend Anne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring house or cat sitter, and we’re already looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been looking after pets in my neighborhood for a few years now, I have had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Lots of experience with puppies and senior pets as well. I’m working a full time 8-4:30 job and would be happy to either come by during lunch time or in the early mornings or afternoons! I have a fully fenced in large backyard with lots of space to run around and plenty of different areas and rooms to relax/play in
About: I've been caring for family and friends' dogs for about 6 years, from small pups to large dogs with all kinds of personalities. I am a recent nursing school graduate looking for work so I have a lot of flexibility at the moment. I'm also helping train my uncle's 5-year-old Australian Shepherd, which has definitely been a challenge but has taught me a lot about dog behaviour, patience, and consistency. Most importantly, I'll care for your dog like they're one of my own! I'm a very active person who loves getting outside, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, whether that's neighbourhood walks, hikes, or adventures through local trails and forests. I recently graduated from nursing school and am currently looking for work, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time for multiple walks a day, drop-in visits, or overnight dog sitting. I'll make sure your pup gets lots of attention, exercise, and love while you're away! As a pet parent myself, I know how important trust, communication, and peace of mind are when someone else is caring for your pets. I'll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll make sure they stick to their usual routine as much as possible and always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and lots of photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Georgetown
Kathy and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our senior dog, Glen. He needs a lot of extra love, patience, and hands-on care, including help with bathroom breaks and extra attention during restless nights. They were so kind and accommodating, and we felt completely at ease knowing Glen was in such caring hands. It’s not easy trusting someone with a senior dog who needs a little extra help, and we’re so grateful to have found them. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kathy and her husband to anyone looking for compassionate, attentive pet care!
Isabela is wonderful!! Upon meeting, she addressed both my dog, Linus, and me, immediately showing interest in him . Isabella sent photos everyday and communicated right away. She left my home very tidy too. She walked him and played with him everyday while I was away for just shy of two weeks. Thank you!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Georgetown 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 Georgetown 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 Georgetown 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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
