“Lisa has been super great with letting my dachshund Luna out 3 times a week. She brings her for walks, let’s her explore the backyard and gives her lots of belly rubs- Luna loves her! Will be setting up as a repeat booking.”
“Wow. Shelley is wonderful. She’s only been in 4 times and I can already see how much happier our dog is. She treats him so well and it shows when we arrive home from work. I couldn’t ask for more from someone watching our boy. Thank you Shelley. I’ll be hanging onto you!”
About: PEACE OF MIND... that is my gift to you while you are away. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet and home in the hands of someone who is mature and trustworthy. You can rest assured that daily walks and lots of time outside (if that is what your pet wishes) will be what in store during your time away.) Have a lovely vacation! Your home becomes my home while you are away... which includes caring for all the needs of your loved one. Rest assured that they become my top priority while you are enjoying yourself. Caring for your pet is all about knowing what they wish... which is why you will give me a "wish list" that I can refer to each day.
“Teya did a great job of looking after my three cats. She was thoughtful and communicated often. I would definitely hire her again, and I highly recommend her! I was confident that my cats were well taken care of by Teya.”
“Kristen was great looking after my cat. My cat can be shy with new people but they became buddies! I appreciated always getting a Rover card so I knew when my cat was being looked in on. We’ll be booking again.”
“Lauren took such good care of my two cats, one of which requires insulin injections twice daily. When our trip was extended due to the Air Canada strike, Lauren was so accommodating. She’s friendly, communicative, and knowledgeable about their unique medical needs. I’ll be using Lauren’s services exclusively whenever I need a cat sitter!”
“Good communication, did everything that was asked of her, respectful to me, my cat, and our home. She was a good sitter and was willing to help out on short notice, which was much appreciated. Will absolutely book again next time I need a pet sitter.”
“I highly recommend Liz. Our new puppy and 6 year old Bernedoodle endorse Liz as well. I am so grateful to Liz for being flexible and accommodating. Right from the start, I knew we had found our person!”
“Izabella is a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Our pets immediately felt comfortable with her and even our most timid cat warmed up to her. It’s clear she cares deeply about animals. She was very responsive and accessible. We had a great experience with her overall.”
“Katelyn was fantastic with our beagle and took great care of her while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and gave me peace of mind throughout the visit. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“Odin had such a good time that he didnt come to door to see me when I got home after 1.5 hours with Shannon. This is unheard of from my puppy. I was both happy and a little offended lol. Shannon has a good energy and dogs feel it.”
About: Hi! I’m Hayden, an animal lover with over 10 years of experience in dog walking, pet sitting, doggy daycare, and professional dog training. I recently worked alongside a dog trainer for the last year and a half, where I gained experience handling dogs with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and training needs. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes/temperaments and love getting outside for walks, hikes, and adventures! I also understand how important it is for dogs to have structure, enrichment, and plenty of individual attention while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, some playtime and cuddles, or simply a reliable person to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and comfortable! I’m a student with a flexible schedule and plenty of spare time to give your furry friend the attention and care they deserve! Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk, some playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I love spending time with animals and would be excited to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality, routine, and needs. I make sure to follow their usual feeding, walking, exercise, and care routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection while also respecting each pet’s boundaries and comfort level. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for!
“Erin and Chad were great! I had a last minute request and they were able to fulfill that. They gave lots of belly rubs and pictures of both animals. I would definitely use them again. Thanks!”
“Nova was fantastic and made it so easy. She came for a meet and greet the day before a last minute booking. My pup immediately took to her gentle nature. Hopefully I can book Nova again when we are away. Thank you!”
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: Hi! I’ve lived in Guelph my whole life and have always loved caring for animals. I provide care for dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small pets in the Exhibition Park area, with plenty of nearby trails and parks for safe, enjoyable walks. I also have dog training experience through McCann Dogs, which helps me support good manners, calm walks, and positive routines. I offer quick check-ins, drop-in visits, longer walks, and overnight stays. Your pet will be treated like family — with patience, attention, and gentle care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to extra-large, and I’m happy to care for a variety of other pets as well. After the passing of our sweet Bella, my husband Mike and I truly miss having a furry friend around. We’d love to give your pet the same love, kindness, and routine we gave her. As lifelong pet owners, we understand how important trust, consistency, and communication are. While I may occasionally be out during the day, Mike is often home or stopping in throughout the day and enjoys spending time with our furry guests. Between the two of us, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I’m fully available after 4:00 p.m. for walks, visits, and evening care. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing. I’d be happy to meet you and your furry family member! My husband and I take great pride in making every pet feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they are with us. We follow a relaxed daily routine with a morning walk, an afternoon walk, and a shorter evening walk. During the day, pets have access to our home and fully fenced backyard, giving them plenty of opportunities to play, explore, or simply relax. Our mature trees provide lots of shade, and our home is air conditioned so pets can stay cool and comfortable on hot days. We also enjoy giving our furry guests lots of companionship and attention throughout the day. We understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so we do our best to keep their normal habits and make their stay as stress-free as possible. Our goal is for them to feel like they are enjoying a little vacation of their own! I offer quick check-ins, drop-in visits, longer walks, and overnight stays. Your pet will be treated like family — with patience, attention, and gentle care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to extra-large, and I’m happy and experienced past owner to care for cats, birds, fish small rodents too.
About: As a third year pre-vet student studying Biological Science, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for animals through veterinary, shelter, research, and wildlife rehabilitation settings. I volunteer socializing dogs at the Humane Society, have worked with dogs in daycare, and have experience handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a university student with a flexible class schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my routine throughout the week. My classes are primarily during the daytime, with plenty of breaks between classes and open time in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around my schedule to provide walks, drop-ins, and attentive care for your pets. For house-sitting bookings, I can plan my time around your pet’s usual routine and will always communicate my availability clearly before confirming a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Guelph
Liz was great when looking after Enoki, she sent photo updates and made sure she had everything she needed. She was very flexible with the last minute booking and promptly came by to meet Enoki and get all the information she needed. She was a true professional and we really appreciate her help!
Taylor is wonderful! This was her first time looking after our menagerie (a cat with a heart condition, a bearded dragon and a crested gecko) and we were so impressed. She was thorough, detail oriented and communicated very well! We would definitely hire her again!
Chelsey is awesome with my cat Stevie. She is very responsible and also takes the time to interact and play with him. Her communication in setting up appointments is also very straightforward. I have booked Chelsey in the past and would have no hesitations in booking her again in the future. Thanks!
Izabella is a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Our pets immediately felt comfortable with her and even our most timid cat warmed up to her. It’s clear she cares deeply about animals. She was very responsive and accessible. We had a great experience with her overall.
Katelyn was a wonderful pet sitter while we were gone. Our cat has health issues and she was very confident to take care of all of his needs. She spent time interacting with him and getting to know him. We also loved and appreciated all of the photos sent so we knew he was well cared for.
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.

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.

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.
