About: I am a dog mom to a beautiful 6 year old German-Lab mix who is a certified Therapy Dog. She has given me a stronger understanding of what it takes to keep our best friends happy. I frequently visit dog parks with her and am always looking for a new place to go on out door treks. My love for animals has been lifelong growing up in a home that always had a family dog amongst other animals. I believe in love, patience and kindness when it comes to interacting with animals. I spend time getting to know the different pet personalities and devote curtailed attention to meet their needs. I believe animals live by their instincts and often are better judges of character than we are. So let your fur-baby meet me and we can let the interaction speak for itself. I work from home Monday to Friday, and am free on weekends to pet sit. I have a large yard and live close to a dog park. There are lots of trails I can walk and its a bonus because I love to walk. I treat them as I would my child, with lots of love, care and respect. I don’t force anything on the pets and allow them to be at ease either relaxing, getting belly runs or playing.
About: I'm a stay at home mom with years of pet owner experience. My fur baby had seizures and we cared for him for 10 years until he passed away due to his condition in Nov 2021. Im not ready for a new pet yet myself but have started my services back up as we are missing fur babies in our home! I've owned 4 pups on my own and many while at home with my parents. I have been around dogs my entire life as have my children. We have had Labs, Shepard, Rotties, Doberman pups of all shapes and sizes are welcome! My children are friendly safe and gentle and love animals as much as I do. We enjoy being outdoors and walking. Your pup will have a home away from home while your gone with tons of love, attention and exercise. Stay at home mom... Before our Duke passed he took up a large chunk of my time so pet care was 24/7. Im available for your pet almost all the time. I have a fenced yard and 2 children. We go on regular walks. Hang out and snuggle in front of the television. My yard is fully fenced for them to play in the yard with the kids.
About: As a pet lover your fur-baby family member is well cared for, so my aim is to provide the same care for your best friend/s. I communicate well with my animal listening and whisperering skills. Neighbours and friends count on me to ensure reliable, secure, worry-free care. We can chat before about your expectations, issues and also about the successes. I’m happy to text you a photo of your well cared for fur-baby! Worry-free care: 1. Adherence to your rules 2. Following your preferences 3. Clear communication 4. Safety is of utmost importance = Teamwork makes the dream work!
About: Growing up, I always had animals in my life and I can't imagine living without a pet. My Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute are so much more than pets—they're family. They're my constant companions, my greatest source of unconditional love and my best friends. Whether we're exploring new trails, enjoying quiet moments together or setting off on another adventure, they're always by my side. Life is simply better with them in it, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I’m currently working a f/t night shift job (early retirement in December 2026). I am available from Monday-Friday after 11am and anytime over the weekend. I am available during the holiday season. Once I am retired from my 25 yrs of service at my current job my schedule will be more flexible. 🙂 I can prepare meals/medication and care for your pet. Follow your usual routine with them. I have plenty years of experience caring for a pet
“Angela was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made the entire experience easy and stress free. What stood out most was how focused, attentive, patient, and genuinely engaged she was throughout the entire time with my shy pup. It was clear that she takes the responsibility of caring for a dog seriously and puts a lot of effort into making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Her attentiveness gave me complete confidence and peace of mind. I would highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring person to look after their dog. I would definitely feel comfortable having her dog sit again!”
About: For the last 10 years, I have taken care of animals of my own as well as neighbour's and friends. Dog walking and sitting feels as if it’s second nature! As I currently work a flexible schedule, there are times during the week and weekend where I am completely free to walk. Having a companion to walk with would make it even better! I have two dogs and a cat that are all well behaved and completely spoiled. We have a fenced in back yard along with a lower unit that is separate from the other dogs if need be.
About: I have been lucky to always be surrounded by cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters and fish since I could walk. I have also raised 2 dogs of my own from puppy to senior and have also been the go-to for family and friends when they are in need of care for their pet, including administration of medicine for a beloved diabetic cat. Affection and cuddles are what we have most in our place! We have a spacious home and yard. I'm available for boarding weekends. I work from home a few days a week. I can make local afternoon, evening house visits. We have one crated dog and no other pets. I have a fenced yard, spacious home if the pet prefers to retreat into quietude. I can crate if needed or provide a cozy space anywhere.
About: Hi! I’m Hannah, a 26 year old Canadian currently living in Grimsby, Ontario. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always felt like second nature to me. Back in high school I started working in dog daycares through a co-op program, and quickly realized this was exactly what I wanted to do. From 2016–2022, I worked in different dog daycare and care centres across Ontario, gaining extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I want both pets and owners to feel comfortable knowing their pup is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and giving them all the love and attention they’re used to at home! Warmly, Hannah It fits seamlessly into my schedule as pet care is my full time job. Any day, anytime I am available. Send me a message to schedule! I am unable to provide pet care in my own home, but I can travel to the client’s home or hotel to care for their pets. I offer services such as dog walking, outdoor exercise, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love while the pet remains comfortable in their own environment or outdoors! :)
“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: As a pet parent and animal lover, I have always had a passion for caring for animals. Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to care for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, birds, and even reptiles. This has given me a wide range of experience in pet care and has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the needs and behaviors of different animals. I understand that pets are not just animals, but they are members of the family, and I will treat them as such. I am committed to providing the best possible care for every animal I am with. This includes following any specific instructions given by the parent/s, maintaining a safe and clean environment, and giving their loved ones plenty of love and attention. It depends on what the week is looking like. Message me to see if there is availability. I can do pet/house sitting, walking, and drop-in visits. As a pet sitter, my top priority is always the safety and well being of the pets in my care. I take every precaution to ensure that they are safe and secure at all times..

At the moment, I work part-time at a nearby doggy daycare but I am able to adjust my schedule to accommodate the needs of any future clients I always ensure I’m creating a safe environment for the dogs in my care, if we’re walking or at home. On walks I’ll always survey the area and watch your dogs body language to check for any anxiousness and handle all situations with a calm and collected demeanour.

We have a fully fenced yard for you pet to run around and beautiful areas as we are a few minutes from Bayfront park/waterfront piers. We have 2 furbabies of our own and we are both animal lovers.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past five years through dog sitting for family and friends, as well as regularly walking and caring for my own dogs. I have experience with feeding, walks, playing, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and am excited to build more experience and meet new furry friends caring for dogs through Rover. My availability changes throughout the year as I balance school. Whenever I have free time, I’d love to spend it caring for your pet! I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and communicate clearly so you know exactly when I’m available. I always follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, or lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with any questions I may have, messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grimsby
Highly recommend Kimmy! She was absolutely wonderful with our kitties, Luna and Leo. She took excellent care of them, was very communicative during our time away, she respected our home, and kept everything spotless. You can tell she has a genuine love for animals and treats them as her own. We highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Jessica is amazing! She is reliable, easy to work with, was able to accommodate an extension of dates, and goes above and beyond (I was having surgery and received flowers; she put them in water and sent me a picture!). I'm grateful for her assistance and I know my boy Thirteen is as well :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Grimsby is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 4,961 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Grimsby. About 86% of Grimsby sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
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 Grimsby 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. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
