“Fatemeh was great with our fearful kitty. She respected her space but bonded with her using treats as instructed. She kept everything very neat and tidy and communicated well throughout our trip. Highly recommend!”

About: Love caring for animals, experienced with senior, shy and spicy cats too! I can walk your dog and I can house sit when you’re away! Available on hourly or daily basis including weekends/overnight stay. I am a graduate student and I can provide care after 4 pm or before 9 am. I can feed, walk or play with your dog/cat. I can also do light grooming, cleaning their food bowls and clean the litter. I first let them get used to me.

About: [EN] I’ve been a dog sitter and cat sitter since I was in middle school. I have special experience with senior pets who need that extra care and patience. [FR] Je m’occupe de chiens et de chats depuis le secondaire. J’ai une expérience particulière avec les animaux âgés, qui ont besoin d’une attention et d’une patience accrues. [EN] I am currently between jobs, so I have lots of time to take care of your pets! I am very flexible to people’s schedules, please feel free to ask me about my availabilities. [FR] Je suis actuellement entre deux emplois, j’ai donc beaucoup de temps à consacrer à vos animaux ! Je m’adapte très facilement aux horaires de chacun, n’hésitez pas à me demander mes disponibilités. [EN] When it comes to your pet, I am more than happy to accommodate my home. I find that cats and dogs are more comfortable with their own toys, litter boxes (cats), grooming tools, etc. I encourage any client to bring their pets’ things if the animal is staying with me. In your home, I will respect your boundaries like any caretaker; I will make sure to follow your pet’s regular schedule and respect the rules of the home. [FR] En ce qui concerne votre animal, je suis plus qu’heureuse de l’accueillir chez moi. Je constate que les chats et les chiens se sentent plus à l’aise avec leurs propres jouets, leurs bacs à litière (pour les chats), leurs accessoires de toilettage, etc. J’encourage tous mes clients à apporter les affaires de leur animal s’il doit séjourner chez moi. Chez vous, je respecterai vos limites comme n’importe quelle autres gardienne; je veillerai à suivre l’horaire habituel de votre animal et à respecter les règles de la maison.
About: Animals have always been a passion of mine ever since I was a kid. My animal care experience begins on my uncle’s farm where I would help out with the chickens, the sheep and even the donkey. I loved taking care of animals so much that I became a camper at La Ferme d’André for 6 years. I also took part in the Youth Ambassador Program at the SPCA, where I got specialized training on dog and cat behaviour, and worked closely with special needs pets. I have been regularly petsitting since 2022. The animals I have taken care of include dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, mice, fish and rats. I have experience administering medicine, caring for seniors as well as puppies and kittens. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and needs! I’m currently working part time so I can dedicate the majority of my week to taking care of animals. I am available on weekdays, weekends, in the mornings, afternoons, evenings and at night as need be. I am eager to honour and respect every home that I visit and will happily follow any special instructions. Most pet owners I have sat for have requested daily pet pics, which I am more than happy to provide! I can also conduct house sitting tasks such as watering plants or opening/closing blinds at certain hours if need be.
About: I’ve taken care of my family while growing up. Recently, I’ve fostered 2 female dogs so far and I really loved my experience. I cared for one dogs after she got spayed and my other girl was abused and not fixed. I know some of them just need a touch of gentleness and loads of love and care. I’m currently working full-time (8-5pm) but I have rotational schedule so I have a lot of downtime to care and play with your pets. Also, my roommates work from home and they love dogs as much as me since we cared for our fosters together so someone is always home and supervising. I have a fenced front and back yard and 2 lovely human roommates who loves dogs as much as me. My neighbours have 2 dogs as well so they can keep them entertained if your pet would enjoy!
About: I can take care all kinds of dogs. Two years ago, when my lordlady went back to her hometown, she left her two dogs to me to take care. Usually we give three or four times walking a day, go around the big park, or play in the dog park…………, we stay at home most of the time I pay much more attention on details, i can take care of your dog carefully. I have set a separately place to stay for your dog.
“Sabrina is amazing! Whenever we have questions she answers super fast and is very flexible with her schedule. And, of course, takes great care of our cats. We defined recommend her!! ☺️”

About: Hi! I have many years of experience with dogs, cats and birds. Dogs: I have had two dogs in my childhood - a boxer and an Italian greyhound. I am comfortable with any size of dog and acclimated with different temperaments and energy levels. I have experience feeding, walking, playing with, grooming (brushing teeth, clipping nails, brushing), and bathing dogs. I have also administered chemo pills to a friend’s dog (golden retriever) over the course of two years. Cats: I have had 2 cats over the course of the last 8 years. I treat my animals with the highest form of care: brushing teeth daily, grooming weekly, litter box twice a day, yearly vet check-ups, and 10-15 minutes of active play a day. I have watched over friends’ dogs and cats many times and put in the same level of care every time. My passion for animals has stayed with me for life and I am eager to meet and take care of your pet! I am currently a PhD student and therefore have a lot of time and flexibility for walks and daytime visits. I am an early riser, so I am comfortable coming before 9am. I am comfortable with many forms of care for both cats and dogs. Walking, bathing, grooming (nails, fur, teeth), enrichment, feeding, and cleaning the litter box.
About: I have taken care of many different kind of dogs growing up and my own which mostly included walking, feeding, bathing and a lot more. I work full-time remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to step away during my breaks to take your dog for walks, spend some time with them, or provide care as needed. I also have availability after 6 p.m., so I can accommodate evening walks and care as well. My work schedule allows me to be flexible and give your furry friend the attention and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to their body language and cues, and I understand the importance of recognizing their needs and responding appropriately to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Vladyslava is an amazing sitter and has a clear passion for animals! She did drop-in visits for my two cats while I was out of town. Each day she sent detailed updates about how the boys were doing and spent quality time playing with them. I highly recommend her! She’s incredibly kindhearted and trustworthy.”

“Chloe is great!! She visited and took care of our cat while we were away for the weekend. She was super communicative and got along great with him. Loved the pictures and will definitely ask her to cat-sit again!”
“Heather was fantastic! My cat can be quite picky about who she accepts affection from, but she seemed to take to Heather instantly. I appreciated the clear, consistent communication and could tell from her messages that Heather really cared about taking the time to get to know my little lady.”

About: Although I have not have had a cat of my own, I have cat sit for friends on numerous occasions whether it was for overnight or for a week. I love their feisty behaviours and they independence Since I am mostly home, I can take care and be around whenever they need attention and care. I will provide unconditional love and softness throughout the day and night. Unfortunately due to apartment building rules, I can only accept cats for pet sitting but I can be available for dog walking at owners house. I will provide play time, make sure they are satisfied with food and be wary of their environment. I will keep them happy by getting to learn their habits as well as use methods learned by their owners to promote good behaviours

About: Since childhood, caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. After recently relocating from Toronto to Montreal, I've continued doing what I love most — providing pets with the tender, attentive, and loving care they deserve. With over 38 years of hands-on pet care experience, I've had the pleasure of caring for all kinds of wonderful animals. Family and friends have trusted me with their beloved companions, including tropical fish, rabbits, parrots, hamsters, kittens, senior cats, and dogs of many breeds, such as German Shepherds, Pomeranians, Scottish Terriers, Dachshunds, and many more! I'm also a proud dog mom to Milo, my miniature Dachshund, whom I adopted from a Montreal rescue when he was just seven months old. He's now almost 13 years old! Milo loves meeting new furry friends and enjoys having playful company. What your furry companion can expect: Regular walks: 15–30 minute walks every 2–3 hours, depending on your dog's needs and routine. Lots of affection: Plenty of cuddles, companionship, attention, and playtime. Personalized care: Careful attention to feeding schedules, individual routines, and special needs. Peace of mind: Regular photo and video updates to keep you connected with your beloved companion while you're away. I understand that pets are family, and leaving them in someone else's care requires trust. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home and being an animal lover isn't just something I do — it's simply who I am! Looking forward to meeting you and your precious four-legged family member! 🐾 Working full-time from home allows me to offer flexible scheduling throughout the week, including weekends. I also provide optional pick-up and drop-off services for a small additional fee for added convenience. 🐾 I take pride in maintaining a very clean and well-organized home—something friends and family would happily confirm. My bright 1-bedroom unit receives plenty of natural sunlight and features hardwood floors, along with soft plush toys to ensure a safe and comfortable space for your pets to play.
About: I believe animals are always communicating with us, and I approach pet care by listening first and responding with patience and care. I have 12 years of experience with my own dog and have worked through reactivity, anxiety, fear of noises, and leash pulling using positive reinforcement. I have worked with multiple trainers over the years and have spent a lot of time learning about dog behaviour and psychology, which has shaped how I care for animals today. I pay close attention to body language and subtle cues like freezing, yawning, or disengaging. When a dog seems overwhelmed, I focus on helping them feel safe and settled by creating space, choosing calmer routes or environments, or redirecting them toward something grounding. With shy or nervous dogs, I always let them approach on their own terms and give them the freedom to take breaks or step away when needed. I also believe in balancing physical and mental stimulation. Along with fulfilling walks, I enjoy incorporating enrichment like sniffing games, confidence-building activities, and gentle training. These activities work well for high-energy dogs and can also help more nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable and confident. I have experience caring for large and small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, as well as administering medication including pills, liquids, topical treatments, and ear drops. I am very comfortable following vet instructions and care routines, and I tend to be very organized and attentive to detail. Above all, I genuinely care about each animal’s wellbeing and individuality. I use patience, positive reinforcement, and observation as the foundation of my care, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I’m currently a work-from-home professional so I am quite flexible time and space wise. I am available at virtually any time and can readily offer overnight care in your home while you’re away. With a persistent attention to detail, I frequently look out for when an animal is trying to communicate a need, such as them wanting water, to play, to eat, to be pet, etc. I always ensure they have fresh, clean water and that they are fed the appropriate amount and on time. I also like to spend quality time with them giving them belly rubs and and behind-the-ear scratches. I also look out for their safety by keeping things that might be dangerous out of reach as well as checking in on them frequently to make sure they are doing well :)
About: I absolutely love all animals, but I’m definitely a dog person! I’ve had my little Cooper for 9 years, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. I’m currently studying for my DESS, which gives me free time and flexibility to go for walks, spend time at the park, or take care of your dogs! I’m quite active and can easily adapt to your dog’s energy level. In the past, I’ve cared for several pets for friends, including puppies, cats, and reactive/rescue dogs, and I also have experience administering oral medications. Dogs are one of the greatest joys in my life, and I would be more than happy to meet and take care of your 🐶. J’adore tous tous tous les animaux, mais je suis définitivement une dog person! J’ai mon petit Cooper depuis 9 ans et j’ai été entouré d’animaux toute ma vie. Je suis présentement aux études au DESS, ce qui me laisse du temps libre et de la flexibilité pour aller faire des promenades, passer du temps au parc ou garder vos chiens! Je suis une personne assez active et je peux facilement m’adapter au niveau d’énergie de votre chien. Par le passé, j’ai gardé plusieurs animaux de compagnie pour des amies incluant des chiots, des chats et des chiens réactifs/rescues, et j’ai également de l’expérience pour administrer des médicaments oralement. Les chiens sont une des plus grandes joies dans ma vie et ça me ferait plus que plaisir de rencontrer et de m’occuper de votre 🐶. I’m currently studying full time for my DESS at HEC and have a lot of free time and flexibility. J’étudie présentement à temps plein pour mon DESS au HEC et j’ai beaucoup de temps libre et de flexibilité. I live in an apartment in front of a park with a big terrace with my Shih Tzu who loves other animals. I have experience and am available for overnight stays as well! J’habite dans un appartement devant un parc avec une grande terrasse avec mon Shih Tzu qui aiment les autres animaux. J’ai également de l’expérience et je suis disponible pour les séjours de nuit.
“Kate-Marie was the sweetest! Very accommodating to the unexpected renovations and the fact that we were out of country and hard to reach. My in-laws loved her and "want us to be friends with her" LOL. Thanks so much for holding down the fort, will definitely be reaching out again if we need someone to care for our animals.”

About: From dogs to cats to rodents to birds to fish to a Komodo dragon to a hedgehog, I’ve seen it all and loved every second of it. Young, old, medically fragile or behaviourally “in progress,” I promise to honour your companion with the highest level of attention and care. A freelance translator and copywriter, I’m privileged to be able to work any place and time. Your pets are the best coworkers I could ever ask for! Extremely discreet and security-conscious, you can count on me to keep your li’l bestie and their home safe and secure. For leashed friends, this includes a no retractable leash policy. If that’s all you got, just let me know, and I’ll bring my own secure leash!
About: I don't just watch pets, I care for them like they're my own. Years spent around horses have made me calm, patient, and confident with animals of all temperaments and sizes, and that same steady energy carries over into how I handle every dog and cat in my care. Whether it's helping a bouncy puppy learn the basics or giving a senior pet the extra gentle attention they need, I tailor my care to what each animal actually needs. You’ll never have to wonder how things are going, and most importantly, your pet gets real love and attention the whole time, not just the bare minimum. Pet care isn't just a job for me, it's part of my everyday life. I visit my own horse five times a week, so caring for animals is already woven into my routine, rain or shine. I'm a student, which means my schedule shifts around classes, but I always make time for an animal who needs love and attention. If your pet needs a visit early morning, after school, or on a weekend, I'll find a way to make it work. When I care for pets in their own home, I keep things as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and secure the whole time. Every visit includes feeding on their regular schedule, a daily walk to keep them active and happy, and plenty of playtime so they get real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. I also make sure fresh water is topped up, litter boxes or cages are cleaned as needed, and I always do a quick check of the home before I leave to make sure everything's just how you left it. My goal is for your pet to feel loved and cared for, and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they're in good hands while you're away.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Hampstead is $23
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hampstead
Souad is a wonderful sitter and I would not hesitate to have her again. She and Fig are now best friends. Not only did she take care of his essentials, she played and brushed him. He was breathing heavy after play and she stayed until he settled down and was ok. It was fun to see her pics and videos. Excellent communication. Thank you so much Souad!

Dina was very professional during our Meet & Greet and put me at ease, she was clearly experienced with dogs. She was punctual and provided photos during her check-in. I was free to enjoy my evening knowing Tilly had been comfortable enough to eat her dinner and had a fun outing. I would book Dina's services again!

Kate-Marie was the sweetest! Very accommodating to the unexpected renovations and the fact that we were out of country and hard to reach. My in-laws loved her and "want us to be friends with her" LOL. Thanks so much for holding down the fort, will definitely be reaching out again if we need someone to care for our animals.

Samuel was a lifesaver! 🥹 He came over on very short notice when I had a last-minute outing, and it was his first time taking care of my cat. He followed all my instructions perfectly, kept him well-fed and entertained, and took such good care of him. I’m so grateful and would absolutely recommend him!

Andrea did several drop-in visits and provided great communication throughout the booking. I could tell my cat was in great hands, and I really appreciated her trying to help fix my Furbo when it stopped throwing treats. I came home to a happy cat and a perfectly kept home.

This was the second time that Megan conducted daily check-ins for one of my cats. On both occasions she was very communicative and great about sharing detailed updates from her visits. She's very trustworthy and I wouldn't hesitate to have her come in for visitations again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hampstead is $67 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $59 and $67 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 1,852 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Hampstead. About 84% of Hampstead 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 Hampstead 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
- 92% 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.
