About: Very familiar and comfortable with taking care of dogs - I’m a registered veterinary technician who works full time at a vet hospital, I used to be a kennel attendant at a canine boarding facility + doggy daycare, and my family has had dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I currently work full time Monday-Friday at a veterinary hospital, but daily at-home visits, walks, or weekend stays are feasible for me. I’m available Fridays after 3pm until Monday mornings. Daily at-home visits and/or walks can be tailored to specific needs for each pet I always try to ensure the pet feels comfortable with me in their space, I usually like to meet them with their owner first, and building a connection with both owner and pet is a priority to me. Aside from the basics of ensuring they get adequate amounts of time outside either through a fenced yard or on a walk, having water available at all times, sticking to a feeding schedule, I also try to ensure owners are in-touch and informed while away from their pet - I enjoy sending updates and photos to owners so they can see what their pet is up to.
“Walter was great with my 4 year old chihuahua. Because he is timid, I was nervous leaving him with a sitter for the first time, but Walter sent pictures and kept me informed on a daily basis. By the end of the 3 night sit they had become buddies, and Walter left the house in perfect order. Definitely recommend!”

“Sonya is great with communication and replies quickly, showed up early and stayed in touch multiple times throughout the day sending pictures of our boys. We'll definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and currently have pets of my own, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. Over the years I’ve looked after pets for family and friends, including walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. As a recent Psychology graduate who works part-time as a suicide crisis responder, I bring a calm, compassionate, and responsible approach to every interaction. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to accommodate regular or occasional bookings whenever possible and thrive on punctuality, communicative and being dependable.always aim to be punctual, communicative, and dependable. As I work from home and always surrounded by my own animals, I want to extend my love and attention to yours, whenever and wherever. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take instructions serious and follow carefully and to exact detail, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special care your pet may need. I’m attentive on walks, keep dogs securely leashed unless otherwise instructed, and treat every home with respect. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind!
“Ted was quick and easy to communicate with. He did a great job with Meatball and sent me lots of pictures. He left my house in perfect condition. I would definitely book with him again!”
About: I have a 4 year old dog and have helped around my house for all 4 years. I love taking my dog for walks and playing with him in our backyard. I am available almost any day and any time to help out and anytime. I will be there when you and your fury friends need me. I have a fenced back yard and have a loving, playful dog that would get along great with yours. We know how to have a great time 🐶❤️
“Ellie was amazing with our 3 little trouble makers! They all warmed up to her very quickly, and made our evening that much more enjoyable knowing the pups were in great hands. She was also extremely flexible when plans began to change. The weekend absolutely would not have been the same without her. Thanks again, Ellie!”
About: I own a 3year old poodle dog. I know how to make them behave and understand the basics. I play with pets and can feed them. I do not have any full time job or work to do right now. As I pet my poodle dog I have keen interest in other dogs as I can utilize my free time playing and spending time with them. My pet does have breakfast and then I take her on a walk and make sure she behaves outside gently with other people and I take her to leash free dog park so she has her enjoyable time.
About: I've owned pets my whole life, dogs and cats. I’ve pet-sat for other animal owners multiple times, especially in the past few months, while away or on vacation. I'm very patient with animals, including senior animals, and provide them with love and care while you're away! I'm currently doing an unpaid summer internship at a daycare for school three days a week, so I will have plenty of time to watch your animals! I am especially open and available on weekends, too! I will ensure to stick to your guidelines provided to create a safe environment for the animals. I will also keep a close eye on them and spend lots of time with them!
About: ⸻ Hi there! I’m Jenn — a huge animal lover with over 25 years of experience caring for pets. I share my home with two Samoyed boys, Gomez and Tundra. Tundra is actually a Canadian Champion and also a Therapy Dog with St. John Ambulance. I’d absolutely love to welcome your pets into our lives! I’m home most of the time and pretty flexible with my schedule, so your fur babies will get tons of attention, love, and playtime. My big fenced backyard gives them plenty of room to run and explore, and I love going out to play with them too! I’ve raised a litter of six Samoyed puppies with my daughter, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ll make sure your pets are fed just the way you request, and I’ll send photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family here — safe, happy, and loved. I can’t wait to meet them and become part of their story! 🐾 Everything in my day kind of revolves around my pets. From morning snuggles to evening walks, they’re part of the rhythm of my life. It’s not a chore — it’s something I love doing. “I care for every pet as if they were part of my family. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs, I keep their routine consistent, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away.
“Adam is an excellent caretaker. The house was spotless after he left! Our dog and cats absolutely loved him. Our dog, a notoriously skittish and nervous sort, prone to refusing food when stressed, thrived under his car. My cats loved him, one of them, I believe, simply wouldn't leave him alone. 100% would hire Adam again.”

About: I love animals, and caring for them brings me a lot of joy. I have experience with both cat and dog sitting, and pets tend to trust me quickly because of my calm and caring nature. In addition to pet sitting, I was a cat owner for over 30 years and cared for three very different cats, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I treat every animal with kindness and respect. I am available for full time cat and dog boarding at my house, home visits, dog walking. I can take care of other pets too. I currently don't have animals at my house. I can offer cat or dog boarding at my house or at client's home. I am available for the frequent visits at the client's home. In each option I will take care of emptying litter boxes, feeding, cleaning the feeding dishes, changing the water. I will play with the pets by providing stimulating toys, training dogs. I love taking the dogs for long walks. If they like them. I am familiar with automatic feeders and pet water fountains. I can do other tasks around the home as needed.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience pet sitting for family and friends! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. From senior pups who love a slow stroll and a good nap to energetic dogs who are always ready for their next adventure, I really enjoy getting to know each animal and their unique personality. I’ve helped with everything from overnight stays and daily walks to quick drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles! I also have a dog of my own, Scout, who is one of the most loving and social dogs you’ll ever meet! He makes friends with just about everyone, and together we live a pretty active lifestyle filled with walks, outdoor adventures, and plenty of playtime. We even have backyard chickens, so our love for animals definitely extends beyond just cats and dogs! Having Scout has made me appreciate even more how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I know every animal has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I always do my best to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs someone to keep up with their endless energy or just a friendly face to keep them company, I’d love to help! Looking forward to meeting some new furry friends! I love including my own dog into my daily routine and ensure that he gets lots of play and stimulation. I work from home part of the week so have ability to play in the backyard at lunch or let dogs outside as frequently as needed. I prioritize being outside, even on rainy days so there’s no fear that a doggo would miss out on a walk! I have a fenced yard and it’s big enough to run around or play fetch in. We have sectioned off a few areas in our house so that multiple dogs have places to take breaks separately if need be. I always want to ensure every dog that I take care of feels fulfilled and happy!
“Ania was great with our pets! They have some medical needs that she handled quite well and was great at keeping to their schedule. All three of them seemed to have a good time and were happy when we got home!”

About: Hello! My name is Mike and I've been fostering dogs since 2019. I've had approximately 18 come and go, only foster "failing" (foster dogs who I ended up keeping) with two who stayed and had the best golden years. I lost my most recent boy in August, a blind Bichon, just shy of his 12th birthday and after 3 great years. He was type-1 diabetic and blind, and after so much time as a foster getting his insulin regulated, he decided I was his forever family. He had a sister when I got him, a senior Yorkie with diabetes insipidus and a host of health issues. All that is to say I'm a professional at insulin, rigid medication schedules and diet maintenance. Presently I have no dogs of my own. When it comes to your dog, I'll keep your daily routine and walk schedules too, so your pups stay is as minimally disruptive to their normal routine as possible. I've fostered dogs of many breeds from Chihuahuas and a Rat Terrier to a Golden Retriever and Saint Bernard. I've had as many as 4 dogs at once so I'm open to having multiple pups at once. I'll never accept dogs from multiple families unless both families are booking together and the dogs are socialized with each other already. And I'll never cancel a confirmed stay for a more lucrative multi-dog request. I live alone in a detached house in Wallaceburg, and I work from home so your dog won't be left alone aside from short errands. I'm not big on crating dogs, leaving them free to be where they like while I'm gone. I have a den with glass door if you tell me they need smaller quarters, or you can bring your crate for me to use. I have a large fenced yard for playing fetch or dogs who need to run. This is a total dog house. I bought it due to its flat land and not having stairs, and I built a ramp down to the yard. I installed a dog door but it will stay blocked unless having access is suitable for your pups. Dogs are welcome on the couch and the bed, and will have free roam of the house (there's no basement, and garage isn't accessible). House sitting radius: the Rover app limits a 100km radius when setting the territory I can offer the services. I've got my radius set Eastward to circle Toronto, as I grew up there and love an opportunity to take gigs that get me into the city. Unfortunately I can't draw a circle that includes Windsor, but I'm happy to take gigs there too. If you're in London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Brantford, or the GTA, and you have a dog that can be left alone for 2-3hrs max, I may be willing to offer discounts on price so I can catch up with family and friends in those areas while I'm there. If you have any questions or you'd like to arrange a tour or meet and greet, don't hesitate to reach out. I work fulltime hours from home, typical office hours. I'm usually awake by 7am and bed by midnight. I don't have many friends in town so I'm home most of the time. My yard is fully fenced. I have a couple Tile tracking tags that I can attach to their collar if they're an escape artist (or you'd like to track your pups location remotely). Hazardous items like cleaning products are kept in cupboards or in my detached garage. My house is pretty dog proofed and I'm not concerned if your pup has an accident. That's what mops and upholstery cleaners are for. I think I've developed pretty good dog body language, and only correct misbehaviour by command and redirection. I'm a bit of a sucker that let's them get carried away when they're being silly, but particularly with bigger dogs I'll make sure their training is maintained (no jumping up to greet, making sure they don't assert dominance etc.)

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ingersoll 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ingersoll 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 Ingersoll 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, a background 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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.
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 .

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.
