“Finn did an amazing job looking after Phoebe for the week I'm gone. They bond really well, and I can feel my cat has made a new friend. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone.”
“Rayanne was absolutely awesome! Highly recommend. She was super communicative, gave us updates with photos everyday of our two cats, and was really great when our automatic feeder wasn't working and took initiative to take care of dry food feeding as well!”
“Carina is fantastic! She’s very patient and kind. Carina looked after my two cats while I was away for a couple days. One cat has asthma so she had to work with her to give her her puffer. Thank you Carina!”
“Felt very reassured that my little zoo of furbabies were looked after! Got photos and updates and am so grateful to know they had someone to check in and play with them while we were at our wedding! Especially my very hyper dog and new rehomed kitten!”
“Megan did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats! For starters, she agreed to watch them after a very last minute request over the holidays which was so helpful. Not only that, but she was immensely perceptive to their needs, likes, and dislikes. She also bought them some spring toys after observing what they enjoy playing with that they already have, which was too sweet. Megan will go above and beyond taking care of your pets, connecting with them and ensuring a smooth line of communication (and provides lots of photos and videos while you’re missing your fur babies!). I highly recommend Megan and hope to use her services in the future.”
“Sara was great with my kitties! They were well fed, and their litter boxes were in good condition when we came back home. Sara also sent us cute photos of our cats after every visit, which gave us peace of mind especially on days where we felt homesick.”
“Rita was absolutely incredible with Suki during her one week stay at my home. She communicated with me daily, sent pictures and videos, and was all around so happy so spend time with Suki and it showed! I came back to a tidy home and a very happy kitty! 10/10, will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I was raised along with pets, especially large breed dogs. I own a Goldy who is 5 years old and handling reactive dogs is my area of expertise since my boy is a reactive dog! I have received several training sessions on how to handle reactive dogs since my fur baby is a reactive baby. Never would I put them in an uncomfortable situation because fur babies are my life and truly understand what they need as I grew up learning about them as my uncle is a vet and always spend my weekends at his vet, volunteering and helping all the fur babies. I work from home and this available most of the time. But available anytime between 6 am to 11:30 am in the morning or later if needed and anytime after 4 pm as well :) Fur babies are my lifeline, I believe they are the most lovable and the most precious living beings on earth. Their love is so pure and beautiful that I’d do anything to keep them safe and happy. My Goldy is not only a reactive baby but allergic to proteins and on a specific food diet with many restrictions, so this is my area of expertise. I would love to cuddle, take care, give them the attention they need and share all the time I have to make them joyous because they are truly angels that loves us no matter what so the least I could do is give them unconditional love and care
“This was our second time having Faryn look after our kitties, and she was fantastic again! She took great care of them, handled unexpected situations smoothly, and shared detailed notes and adorable photos from each visit. The cats were so calm when we got back, and her responsiveness made everything stress-free. We'll definitely be booking her again :)”
“Lizzy was able to step in and provide housesitting services for my two cats on relatively short notice. She was very reliable and an excellent communicator. She gave very detailed updates, with photos and videos, so I felt very confident that Gus and Mac were being well cared for. They both seemed to enjoy her company very much. I came home to happy cats and a tidy house.”
“Kira is dependable, visits when she says she will, and looks after our cat with lots of affection. We’ve had Kira look after our cat before and will do so again when we need someone.”
About: I am the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family! I have lots of experience caring for cats and dogs, and am ready to administer medication, clean, and adhere to specific diets. I am a musician and actor, and mostly work in the afternoon and evening, so in the daytime and late evening I am free to take care of your pet! I work to build trust with animals, and am careful to adhere to their boundaries. I offer compassion and respect, letting them become comfortable and feel safe with me.
“Dave is awesome, like always. This time I had moved to a different apartment and he helped me with transferring the keys, closing the windows as well as making sure the kittens are comfy!”
“Torgeir is awesome. He has such a calm, caring and sweet energy that my cat loved. My cat even sat on his lap and he never does that with me!! I was fully at ease during my trip :)”
About: I have a 6 year old golden retriever and I have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages before. I also have work experience with dogs including cleaning kennels, feeding, light grooming, walking and playing. Overall, I really enjoy taking dogs for walks and caring for them with a unique approach. I have a health background that I find helpful as well. I’d love to meet you and your pets :) I’m currently awaiting results for licensing as a Naturopathic Doctor with an open schedule for the remainder of the year, I am flexible and can provide varying lengths of walks and visits. I can navigate new places easily and travel if needed, or feel comfortable using fenced yards at your home. I am a trustworthy individual in others homes
“Katherine gave me great peace of mind when I had to leave my young, rambunctious and playful kitten all day. She is great with pets, very relaxed yet attentive and knowledgeable about pet behaviour. A great sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was six years old. I’ve had all types of dogs. My first was a Golden Retriever, then a Doberman, a, Shitzhu, a pitbull, and I currently have two 8-yr old Australian Shepherds. I’ve also had the pleasure of watching, training, feeding, playing, walking, hiking, checking in on many of my friends, family and neighbours dogs over the years. I’ve also had experience with shepherds, Chihuahuas, American bulldogs, and Dalmatians. I’m currently working part-time so I will be available most days before 10am and after 4PM. Otherwise, on weekends, I will be completely available for services. Calm and respectfully, I usually take them out for a good walk to get some energy out of them and then I like to feed and then play with them.
About: I have had a wide variety of pets my whole life. I have trained puppies, administered medications, and was the go to for my neighborhoods dogsitting needs! I'm currently working on rotation, but while each week my look slightly different, my weekends are wide open! I can come in before my evening shifts, and will have my afternoons wide open when I'm on my overnights I respect your privacy and home, and am only there for the care of your fluffy friends. I ensure dogs are leashed when on walks and doors are locked at the end of visits.

Megan is a lovely cat sitter. She kept me updated with lots of photos and videos. My cats just love her. They always run to the door when she arrives. I think they were disappointed when I came home because they kept looking at the door as if to say "when is she coming back?" I will definitely be booking her again.
Cortney was great with our three cats while we were away for the week! She was super reliable and sent regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. One of our cats also needs medication, and she did a great job making sure that was taken care of. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were gone. We’d definitely book with her again!
Leah is the best! I’m so grateful to her for taking care of my cat while we were away. My cat is shy, so finding someone I could trust meant a lot to me. Coming home and seeing her doing well made me very happy. Thank you, Leah, for your care and for helping us feel at ease during our trip. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful cat sitter!
From the very beginning, Michelle has been wonderful to work with. Her friendliness, kindness and accommodation has been great. We are very thankful she was willing to take care of our senior cat while we travelled for a family event. Michelle was prompt in her attendance, attentive to monitoring our cat’s eating habits and provided us with helpful updates and, of course, the great photos of our little buddy. Thank you Michelle. We felt fully confident leaving our cat in your care and appreciate the details you provided and the time you took to visit and play with him. I highly recommend Michelle to other pet parents needing a conscientious sitter. Thank you so much Michelle. We will definitely be in touch the next time we are in need of a cat sitter. All the best!
Melodi was a wonderful cat sitter for Bruce during my three-day trip, my first time using a sitter. Within about five minutes, Bruce was purring and comfortable with her, as if they already knew each other. She cares for cats like her own (she has a cat, Winston, who looks a lot like Bruce), and it showed in how attentive she was every single day. She sent photos and videos throughout, which gave me real peace of mind. She exceeded my expectations, and I'd recommend her without hesitation. I'll definitely book her again.
Another five-star booking with Jennifer. Marcy doesn’t love being left alone most of the time for a week, but with Jennifer, I know Marcy’s getting the best care she can possibly receive which is reassuring. The more Jennifer gets to know your pet, the better and better the photos get!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Kitchener 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.

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.
