“Such a pleasure to meet Adrian. He was thoughtful, respectful, and very responsible. We loved the photos of their walk he sent us. We are already booking our next mini vacation for him to take care of our dog, Rebel. Thanks again Adrian. Will be in touch!”
“Heather, thank you so much for your wonderful 5 star care of Sophie. You did such an amazing job with her that she was waiting at the door 30 minutes after you left looking for her new best friend. You are a natural and we could not be happier. Great job and highly recommended. John and Barb ( and Sophie. LOL)”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog lover with hands-on experience working at a kennel, daycare, boarding facility, and breeder. I am also in school studying veterinary medicine!! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages — from giant Irish Wolfhounds to tiny newborn puppies. I also have experience helping train new litters and working with dogs that need extra patience and behavioural support. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own! I’m currently off school for the summer, which gives me lots of flexibility and availability for pet care! I also work a part-time job, but my schedule is very manageable and I still have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop-ins, daycare, etc; as long as I have some notice. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve! At the moment I’m unable to offer boarding or care in my own home, but I’m more than happy to travel to clients’ homes for walks, drop-ins and, daycare. I want pets to feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible in their own environment!
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 🐶❤️
“Carlee did a great job staying with Maisie. I received regular updates and photographs. She went the extra mile in leaving our home clean and tidy . Thank you Carlee! We look forward to having you back!”
About: I have been taking care of all types of animals my whole life like: cats, dogs of all sizes, birds, lizards, snakes, rabbits and fish i come to animals with a calming mood to soothe them. I am currently recovering so I am not working at this current moment making me available 24/7 overnight stays are not an issue and I can play with your pets for hours and stop by at anytime to take care of them I have two friendly cats and am not accepting boarding due to living in an apartment I feed them and change their litter daily and have no problem dealing with other cats
“This was the first time Lauren watched our dogs and she's so kind to them. They slept the entire time and were so comfortable with her. She's super responsive and I would definitely recommend.”
“We had an excellent experience with Emily house sitting and watching our two dogs. She was extremely attentive to the girls and quick to respond. She kept me well updated with how the dogs were doing, including lots of pictures. We plan to have her back to stay with our girls ! We would definitely recommend hiring her.”
About: I am currently studying animal science at the University of Guelph and hope to become a veterinarian, so caring for animals is something I am truly passionate about. I have spent recent summers caring for pets like cats, dogs, and even chicks, giving me experience caring for a wide range of personalities and needs. I have grown up with pet cats of my own and I have experience administering medications, orally and by injection, and managing health needs such as seizure care. I have Walks and Wags pet first aid certification, so I am confident in my ability to respond appropriately in stressful situations. I always aim to provide calm, attentive and reliable care tailored to each animal's unique personality and needs. I currently work weekend evenings as a server. However, throughout the week I am able to plan my schedule around visits when needed. Since caring for animals is something I enjoy, I can make it a priority in my daily routine. I provide care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable. I always follow each owner's routines and preferences closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, administering medication, litter box cleaning, playtime, or giving pets companionship and attention. I understand every animal has different needs and personalities, so I aim to create a calm, safe, and stress-free experience.
About: I have lived with a dog my whole life! For as long as I can remember my family, friends, and people in my community have asked me to take care of their pets and I am always happy to do so, whether they need me just to walk or feed their pet because they are running late or for a longer period of time. I am good with dogs of any age! I am currently a full time student in college, my weekends are always free. I do have class from 9:30-3:30 but I do have two 30 minute breaks throughout the day when I would be able to run back to the house and let the dog out When it comes to caring for a pet, I will do the obvious things like ensuring they are kept out of danger and safe, never outside without a leash unless of course in their own fenced in yard. Of course if the pet owner would like additional and specific precautions taken they can always inform me and I will follow it
About: I have hands on experience training my two dogs Cora and Cooper both in obedience and in agility. This has allowed me to understand the importance of positive reinforcement and how to cater to individual dogs needs. In addition, I have professional dog sitting experience in a neighbors home, where I cared for and took them out for walks. This role has taught me how to approach and work with rescue dogs and adapt my care to different temperaments. I am attentive, patient and committed to providing excellent care and a safe environment for all pets. I currently work part time which allows flexibility to provide pet care in the evenings and on the weekends. I am open to overnight stays during the week and weekend as well if needed. I am committed to ensuring that your pets receive reliable care, attention and companionship while you are away. I ensure that my dogs are fed and taken care of. I also love to take them out for walks and on car rides! As a dog owner I understand the importance of safety, maintaining routines, regular exercise and lots of attention. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their individual needs, personalities, and routines. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and positive environment where both pets and their owners can feel confident and at ease.
“Brittany did such a wonderful job keeping our cat fed, cared for, and entertained! We had total peace of mind knowing she was giving him snuggles and love. Brittany was attentive, sent lots of photos and videos, and responded promptly to messages. Our house was spotless when she left. We will definitely rebook her for future house sits :)”
“Brandon was an amazing friend for Buddy while we were away. It was great having Buddy cared for in his own home and he enjoyed spending time with Brandon in familiar surroundings. I highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking for loving care for their fur baby 😊”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I bring to every pet. I cared for my rescue dog through her senior years and was with her right until her last day, which taught me how important compassion, consistency, and gentle care are — especially for older pets or animals with unique needs. I also have experience fostering a large, energetic dog, so I’m comfortable handling high-energy pets that need lots of activity, structure, and engagement. I’ve always lived with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I’m a very active person who genuinely enjoys long walks, playtime, and spending time outdoors, and I have flexibility throughout the day to give pets attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and companionship instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I'm currently pursuing my PhD which leaves my schedule very flexible and open throughout the week. I'm not constrained by regular working hours (i.e. 9-5) and often make my own schedule so my availability is very open! I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where pets can stick to their normal routines as much as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive lots of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and any specific care instructions their owner provides. I’m very attentive to pets’ behaviour and comfort levels, and I always try to make them feel secure while their owner is away. Because I’ve cared for both energetic dogs and senior pets, I understand that every animal has different needs. I can provide active walks and play for high-energy dogs, while also being patient and gentle with older pets who may need slower pacing, medication support, or extra comfort and supervision. I also make sure owners feel at ease by being reliable, respectful of their space, and communicative with updates and photos. My goal is always to care for pets the way I would want someone to care for my own animals — with kindness, consistency, and genuine attention.
About: I've had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been part of my life. Growing up, we always had pets in the family, and over the years I've cared for everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets with more specialized needs. I've also pet sat for neighbours, relatives, and coworkers, both paid and unpaid. What I enjoy most about pet sitting is getting to know each animal's personality. Every pet is different, and I like figuring out what each one enjoys most! Different dogs find joy in exploring trails for hours, while others prefer activities like tug-of-war, chasing balls, or sniffing every tree on the block. Some cats immediately curl up beside you when you arrive, whereas others prefer to watch from afar until they're ready for a greeting. I enjoy meeting each of them on their own terms. Over the years, I've gained experience with puppy training, recall, enrichment, senior care, and administering oral, liquid, topical, eye, and ear medications. I've also cared for pets with anxiety, seizure disorders, blindness, deafness, and reactivity, so I understand how important patience, routine, and consistency are. The biggest reason I'm on Rover is simple. I genuinely love being around animals. Since moving away for university, one of the things I've missed most is having pets as part of my everyday life. Spending time with them doesn't feel like a job to me; it's something I look forward to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I currently have open availability throughout the summer, so I have plenty of flexibility to work around your pet's routine. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight house sitting, I'm happy to provide the time and attention your pet deserves. During the school year, my schedule becomes a little more structured around my university classes, but I'll always keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible while you're away. Before a booking, I like to learn about their schedule, favourite activities, training cues, and any medical or behavioural needs so I can care for them the way they're used to. I believe each pet is unique, so I customize my care to suit their personality and comfort level. I always make sure to listen carefully to what they need, making them feel loved and understood. If I'm staying in your home, I'm happy to bring in mail, water plants, and keep things tidy while you're away. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and doing well. At this time, I offer walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I do not offer boarding.

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.
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 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, 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
