About: I've had dogs my entire life. Over the last 2 years I have been house/dog sitting , boarding and walking dogs for family and friends. I've enjoyed it so much that I decided to expand my group ☺️ 2 daily walks 30+ minutes each, special dietary requirements, baths as necessary or once weekly, dog park visits when allowed I currently work from home and have the flexibility of morning/evening walks as well as throughout the day pee/poo breaks and belly rubs! Weekends are play time for all, dog park!!!! I have a fenced in grass yard with tie out. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Each pup has different needs, I take detailed notes about what is required for your dog to be comfortable and happy during our time together.

About: Hello! I am an animal lover through and through. I’ve always had dogs growing up, and while in university my roommates always had pets including dogs, cats, and birds! I do not currently have a pet myself, so I am excited to spend time with yours! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including puppies, as well as cats. I have also looked after very senior pets, as well as dogs with disabilities such as blindness. I’m a very active person who enjoys long walks, as well as jogging; I would love to bring your dog along for a run! While I love all pets, I have a soft spot for large dogs, especially cuddly ones! I’m currently saving up for graduate school this fall so any opportunities I can get I will take! I currently work full time, finishing around 2:30 pm so plenty of time for afternoon walks! I have full weekend availability as well for when you’re away. I would love to hear from you everything your dog loves in order to make them feel right at home! Their favourite toy, snacks, activities, I always want to make sure they’re happy and engaged.
About: For 15 years, I have worked as a trusted elementary school teacher who cares deeply for my young students. I have also been relied upon for pet-sitting and dog-walking for a number of families for many years. Feeding, playing, exercising, cleaning, caring for all pets' needs. I am returning to my full time teaching job in September, which fills my days from 8 to 4, but I am fully available for overnight pet and house-sitting, as well as fully available on weekends! I ensure my own pets are comfortable and well cared for. When I stay in others' homes, I follow pets' routines and meet their needs.
“Melissa is friendly and reliable! She has been Barkley’s sitter since he arrived at 8 weeks. She comes twice a day right now, which is a huge help on long workdays! Thank You Melissa”
“Came last minute to help us out and did an amazing job. Cannot recommend enough for drop-in visits. There was a ton of rain and we had a minor leak, Izabella went above and beyond and cleaned it up and let me know immediately. We so appreciated her help.”
About: I have had experience taking care of dogs for the last 15 years. My best friends had four legs and I saw them well into their senior years. I have adopted my own Rio and he has filled my heart with so much love. Animals really are angels 💕 I work remotely at my own pace so I have time throughout the day to enjoy the beautiful nature and what better way than to have some great company join too! In my clients home I respect the home I am in and only keep to the places that I need to be. I always leave the home clean and tidy. I give your pets the space they need in order to get comfortable with me. After all it is their home and I’m the guest.
About: I grew up with both a dog and cat, I have extensive experience caring for both. I have experience administering medication and post surgical care. I can cater to the needs of every unique pet! I can take care of your pets on the weekend and throughout the week! I am studying environmental science at the University of Guelph. I have a part-time job but I am quite flexible. I have lots of experience with pets and I will give your pets the cuddles (or space!) that they need. I recognize that the needs of every pet is different and I can be a playful playmate or the quiet cuddle buddy.
“Samantha was awesome! She asked great questions when she came for the meet and greet, making sure she got all the information that I forgot was important. Her visits were always right on time, and she sent detailed reports. She was super when one of my cats was sick, and definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after. Highly recommend!”
About: I have years of experience with animal care, having pet-sat for many families and pet owners over the last 10 years, as well as in more established settings such as vet clinics and animal rescues. I also grew up and have lived alongside animals for most of my life. I have experience with animals ranging from house pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, etc.) to farm animals (pigs, donkeys, sheep, etc.) and am confident in my ability to care for and love your companions. I grew up with rescue animals and understand they can sometimes have their quirks and need a little extra patience. The animals in my family have included seniors, a diabetic cat, and rescues who were very fearful and took time to feel safe. I’m comfortable caring for animals who may be anxious, reactive, or not easily handled, and I always prioritize making them feel safe and loved. Some of my specific skills and experiences include: - Experience with grooming and nail trimming for house pets (and often asked by owners to help with this for their own animals) - Caring for injured animals or those with special needs (with guidance from owners or vets) - Experience administering basic medications, including pills, injections, and oral syringes - Comfortable following detailed care instructions and medication schedules - Experience working at wildlife and animal sanctuaries - Volunteer experience at a veterinary clinic - Confident and calm when handling animals - Strong understanding of animal body language and behaviour The rates on my profile are just suggestions. I don't often have a set rate as I prefer to find something that works for both of us, so please still reach out and we can chat about it! I work numerous casual jobs and so I have a very flexible schedule which I can work around and adjust based on my pet-sitting schedule. I believe I offer a very safe and comforting environment for the pets I sit, whether at their home or mine. I've been told I give off a very caring energy that makes people and animals feel safe and like they con trust me. As an anxious person myself, I really care about your pet feeling safe, comfy, and at ease.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Guelph
Melissa was a great cat sitting for our 13 year kitty "Luna". Her communication was prompt and consistent during booking and our time away. Her reports on each visit were detailed and showed how patient she was being despite having having a stressed cat that required daily medication and creative bribery :) Highly recommend.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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.
