“Sheila was wonderful with our cat, Suki, while staying with him in our home for a week. We received regular updates and pictures showing how Suki was doing, and through these updates, it was apparent that she had an understanding of Suki's needs and his ways of communicating. We came home to a very happy and well taken care of little boy! Thank you Sheila! We would definitely would recommend Sheila to others without hesitation :)”
“Kadin was incredible! My girls are my world and they've been through their fair share of trauma before I got them so I'm always super worried when I have to leave them behind. But Kadin delivered and more! I've never seen my girls in such high spirits upon return and if/when I have to travel again - Kadin will be the first person I call!”
“Danielle was fantastic with Medusa. She took her out everyday, gave her cuddles, played with her and kept us up to date on everything every day we were gone. We will definitely be using her services in the future again!”
“Jess was great (even though my dogs were not well behaved) Jess communicated well.. sent pics.. and even took my call to try and help my dogs settle. She left the place very clean and tidy! I’d definitely have Jess back! Thank you!!”
“Bradley was great with Ozzy, and gave me perfect peace of mind to enjoy a family wedding without worrying . Bradley let me know when he had arrived to be with Ozzy and updates during the stay. We were both very happy.”
“Brittany took care of our 2 rescue dogs for a week and she was incredible. She was patient with them as they take a little time to get to know and trust people. She provided daily updates and stuck to their routine making us feel at ease! We would highly recommend her services. (Even though we want to keep her available for us...lol)”
“It was a pleasure to have Arjun at our home, he did an excellent job with our dog, providing reliable updates and very attentive communication throughout. Arjun left the house in perfect condition and also cared for our small pets with enthusiasm and interest. We recommend him without hesitation. He was professional, caring, reliable and an all around excellent house sitter!”
About: I have lived on a farm all my life. I have been taking care of animals for most of my life. I ensure good care of animals. I would take them for a walk, reward good behaviours with treats. I have a lot of property that I could take a dog to go on a walk. I have a Golden Retriever and her name is Juno, she is 3yr old and she is very friendly to all dogs . Mostly I am at home that gives me availability to take care of dogs on even short notice. I have lots of space on the farm for the dogs which is great for energetic dogs. I always have them on a leash for trust to be built, and so they are next to me at all times. I have my own space in my parents house so a more reserved dog can build trust at their own level.
“My dog Artie had a wonderful time with Millie and her family. I was nervous as he's an older dog who hasn't been apart from me for any extended periods. He was having such a great time, I felt guilty coming back. He will stay with them again, I.am sure.”
“Tracey took amazing care of our 2 Boston Terriers for a week, she came and stayed at our house. Our house was exactly how we left it (maybe cleaner), she even took out the garbage even though we did not expect it. We received daily updates. Our one dog needed ointment applied and Tracey was more then happy to do it. Our dogs were happy all week and sad to see Tracey leave when we got home. We highly recommend Tracey.”
“Heather was so great with our puppy, I felt so calm knowing she was in wonderful hands, she sent pictures to keep me updated and tuckered her out with some training which was much appreciated!”
“Caroline was wonderful with our three dogs. They were well looked after and happy. She sent regular updates and lots of wonderful photos. I highly recommend Caroline to look after your doggie/ kitty kids.”
“Holly was so sweet and caring with our two big dogs! She asked plenty of questions to make sure everything was perfect for the dogs. She was amazing dog sitting for Moose and Daisy and kept us up to date. Thank you Holly!”
“Linda took great care of our dog Georgie and our home. She communicated with us throughout her stay and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog and home in her hands. We would definitely recommend her and would book her services again!”
“Des and Michelle took wonderful care of my dogs. They were so attentive to all the details of their care, and made sure to send me lots of updates. I came home to 2 very content, happy pups. Not only did they take good care of the dogs, but also of my home and I came back to it spotless. I would definitely have Des and Michelle back to care for Cooper and Koda again!”
“Dylan was amazing with my two dogs, lots of play, love and care. He was very attentive, on time and super communicative which I really appreciated. He took great care of the house, above and beyond. I will definitely book again.”
“Thanks to Cassidy our family of 5 were able to enjoy our first vacation away together since 2019. Cassidy provided great updates on our pups and truly treated them like her own. I would highly recommend Cassidy to care for your fur babies! Thank you Cassidy we are truly grateful 🙏”
“Brandon was fantastic looking after our dogs and our home. He was super responsive, sent lots of photos and regular updates, and we always felt confident the dogs were happy and well cared for. He also left the house spotless when we got back, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend Brandon and look forward to having him watch our dogs again!!”

Savannah pet and house-sat for us this summer while we were away for three weeks. She was great! Any issues that arose, she was in immediate contact with us to troubleshoot. Our dogs were so calm when we got home; they had obviously had lots of exercise while we were away. We would definitely book Savannah again.
I can’t say how pleased I was with Orzala and how she cared for my precious angel baby. Orzala catered to my dog Romi’s needs and even treated him with his beloved cucumber 🫶 she kept me updated throughout the day/night which was great because I don’t usually leave Romi with anyone, so her communication eased my anxiety 💯 as much as I can’t wait to use Orzala’s service again, I think Romi is even more excited to go back to Orzala’s! A new BFF ❤️
Brittany was wonderful with our 2 babies!! She sent updates, photos and videos throughout the week!! Both dogs looked so happy in all her updates. They were also very pampered and spoiled while home with Brittany. Which is absolutely perfect!! They were treated to daily spa sessions, playtime and outdoor play!! Brittany stayed at our home with our babies and it was in perfect condition when we arrived home!! Actually, it looked better than when we left!!! She was absolutely amazing and took amazing care of our dogs. We had no issues or concerns and appreciated Brittany for everything she did!! We will not hesitate to hire Brittany in future!! Absolutely a perfect fit for us and our babies!! ❤️❤️
Emma took good care of our 2 cats and home while we were away. She sent us regular picture updates, and texted us with questions as they came up. Our house was clean and tidy when we returned home. We would recommend Emma to others who need a house and/or pet sitter.
Melina was fantastic with our two dogs. We have a senior dog and a puppy and Melina was so responsive to their individual needs. She provided regular updates and photos, and left our house spotless! We will definitely rebook with Melina for our next trip. Highly recommend!
We can’t say enough good things about Sanchita. She stayed at our house for 10 days to look after our two cats, and she was by far the best cat sitter we’ve ever had. We usually spend our vacations worrying about our cats, but this was the first trip where we truly didn’t have to. She followed all of our instructions, sent daily updates with pictures and videos, and it was clear our cats loved having her there. Seeing how relaxed and affectionate they were with her gave us so much peace of mind. She gave them lots of attention, played with them every day, and treated them like they were her own. We came home to two happy cats and a house that was just as we left it. We’d recommend Sanchita to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets, and we’d happily book her again.
Sheila is a fantastic house sitter and always takes such great care of our pets. She goes above and beyond to ensure that we know everyone is well taken care of. I really appreciate the daily updates and pictures. Sheila also leaves the house cleaner than when I left it! 😊
This was our first time ever leaving our puppy overnight with someone in our home, and she made the entire experience so comfortable and stress-free. She was kind, calm, reliable, and absolutely wonderful with Mac. We came home to a happy, well-loved pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hamilton on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,335 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hamilton. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hamilton 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.
Tip: 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 Hamilton 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 Hamilton 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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
