“Excellent, thoughtful, diligent, proactive, and thoroughly attentive. She was clean, organized, and very communicative throughout the time that I was away I felt comfortable, knowing that my dogs were in good hands with Elizabeth Would definitely book her again!”
“Katryna was a wonderful dog, cat, and house sitter! We were very grateful to have her through an emergency flooding event, where she called in her family to support and managed our neighbours and families coming to help as well. She took wonderful care of our animals during regular circumstances and went above and beyond to support in an emergency. 100% will be hoping to book Katryna again.”
“Heather watched our dog Wyatt over Easter weekend. She took amazing care of him and took him on lots of fun adventures including hikes and to Easter dinner with her family. Wyatt was very happy when we got back and was tuckered out from having so much fun. Heather was great with providing updates on how Wyatt was doing and our house was spotless when we got home. I would definitely recommend Heather as a dog/house sitter.”
“Hannah was so helpful when we needed a last minute dog sitter at our airbnb for the day. Great communication and you can tell she is very diligent and trustworthy with your pet. Highly recommend and I wish we lived closer to have Hannah again. My dog was very happy with her and they had a great day walking the trails and snuggling! Thank you Hannah!!”
“Neeru took great care of Molly and Django. She noticed things about them that show us she was paying attention to their behaviour and interactions. They seemed very happy on the videos and photos and they were definitely relaxed and content when we arrived.”
“I don’t know if we can fully express the praise we have for Melanie’s absolute care and love of our dog and our daughter’s two cats while we were away for 9 days. Our 3 pets are lovable and quirky and Melanie loved on them as her own. So much so that I will need to step up my dog walks. Our 8 year old dog Xochi is a rescue we adopted in 2020 and for our last trip in 2022 we boarded him in a lovely kennel but even that was too much for him. To have him in his own home and surroundings was important to us and finding the right person was equally important. We hit gold with Melanie. This is not a cheap option and likely not something you do often but the peace of mind we had while we were away and pictures and videos received were priceless to us. You will not go wrong with Melanie. Thank you Melanie!!”

“What lovely people! They were so attentive to detail and took such great care. I felt very calm and relieved to have them watch my girl while I was away. I will definitely book again :)”
“Nevaeh responded to my request right away, even though it was very last minute and I needed her the very next day. She was warm, friendly, and delightful from the moment she came to meet us. My dog, Peaches, was recovering from some severe stomach issues earlier that week, and Nevaeh took excellent care of her, giving me real peace of mind while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nevaeh to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I love animals, especially dogs. I like creating a nice environment for them with fresh water, food and play indoors and out. Lots of physical exercise in the yard and on trails and at the river. I have had a dogs and cats, birds and rabbits since childhood. I am very responsible and kind and fun. I have 18 years experience as a care worker for medically fragile and disabled people and the home. I also take care of the animals in the home and grooming and safety. I am happy to open my home to caring for people’s animals and look forward to getting to know your family and your animals. Take Care, CJ. I have plenty of time to give attention to pets in our home. The animals are first in the routine with fresh water, food and outdoor exercise. I have a large, private lot that the dogs can play in on their leash. We have a large home where I provide very safe care for every animal.
About: While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for dogs through family, friends, and my time helping at a veterinary clinic. During that time, I gained hands-on experience handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, assisting with their care, and accompanying them to obedience training classes. I understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, structured routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with good company, I’ll provide dependable, loving care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently not working and would love to spend my down time caring for animals as it has always been a passion of mine. Schedule is pretty flexible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes rather than my own, as I want to ensure every pet is in the environment where they feel safest and most relaxed. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“We hired Giang to stay in our house for two weeks to take care of our cat and two dogs. She was wonderful with communication, pictures and updates that had us laughing and feeling like she was in tune with their personalities. We felt like they were in good hands, as was our house, and would use her again in the future.”
About: Lifetime dog Mom. We have boarded dogs from 1 night to 20 nights so far. We have had Mini and teacup poodles, Dachshunds, Goldens, Labs, Labradoodles, Bichons, Schnauzers and other mixed breeds. We have great relationships with all of our pet families. We are a family of four, my husband and I have been in Richmond for 27 years in the same home. We live in a bungalow with a fenced yard. Many furry guests have enjoyed lazing in the sun in our front window, on our backyard deck and have enjoyed going for long walks in our dog friendly, and walking through the conservation area alongside the Jock River. We have two grown sons - 21 and 25. We all work full time, and there’s always somebody home. We are all animal lovers. I grew up with a shepherd and a lab. Our family has had the love of Ruby, a beagle and the most fun with Freddie, our beloved Bichon-Poodle. We laid Freddie to rest in Sept 2021. Our home is open to doggie silliness and company. I’ve done pet and house sitting for friends and family for years. Our primary interest is in hosting low or non-shedding dogs. Doodles, poodles, schnauzers, dachshunds, GMD, you get the idea. We love small to medium breeds. But check with me because I do love them all and would be willing to try any breed. I like to arrange a meet and greet and have a trial stay before committing to a long term 1-2 week stay. Our family has taken many roads trips and brought our own dogs with us over many years, now we are avid campers/glampers (travel trailer) and, when our customers approve, we have taken some of our furry guests with us. We understand both your concerns and your needs for a worry free time away. We are ready to care for your pet and give you peace of mind while away. Please note that we may take dogs from 2 families at one time during busy seasons and are well set up to manage this. Our home is a relaxed space and we always make sure the furry guests are kept stress free. I work full-time (mostly remotely) - when I have to be in the office I make arrangements with my sons to help out with dog walking and check-ins. My days ebb and flow. I can take the time necessary to get up early with your dog and get them walked, fed and settled before I start my day. I often have breaks during the day and can take them out a couple of times per day as necessary. We also have a fenced yard and a dog door to our large deck and yard. My pet sitting style is to give dogs lots of play, attention, snuggly places to nap and enough love so they don’t miss you too much while you’re away - hoping you and your pet will be comfortable never stressed. I can care for your furry family members in my home or in yours. I know it helps dogs and cats feel less stressed when they can stay home, follow their routines and be in safe and familiar surroundings.
About: I am the go to dog sitter for all of my extended family, and I have sat for small to large dogs. And I have mostly sat for houses with multiple dogs. I work early mornings Monday to Friday, so I’m free during the normal working day. And full availability most weekends with advanced notice. And I can sit multiple days in a row. I can follow whatever routine you have with your pet. I can follow complex instructions, detailed feeding schedules and I have care for an elderly dog that required diabetes shots daily.

Excellent, thoughtful, diligent, proactive, and thoroughly attentive. She was clean, organized, and very communicative throughout the time that I was away I felt comfortable, knowing that my dogs were in good hands with Elizabeth Would definitely book her again!
Julia is an amazing dog sitter! My dog Bailey was very comfortable with her, and I knew she was in good hands for the 4 days I was away. Julia asked lots of questions about Bailey's regular routine and I could sense she was committed, responsible and trustworthy to care for Bailey. She took Bailey out for her regular walks, and I could see by the pictures she sent that they had lots of play time as well. I came home to a very happy dog and a very clean home. I would absolutely recommend Julia for any pet sitting needs and wouldn't hesitate to have her care for Bailey again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kemptville on Rover is $60.98 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kemptville 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 Kemptville 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 Kemptville 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
