About: I grew up on a farm and raised every type of animal you can imagine Ole MacDonald had! That included various sizes and breeds of cats and dogs as well. Often I would take one of the larger farm animals, train it and then leash it so I could walk it around the farm as though it was a puppy I was training! In terms of what I can offer to you as a sitter and what I believe sets me apart is my genuine curiosity about what makes your pet tick and what their emotions are. I care about their big picture. It's not just about going to your house and then feeding/watering/walking. It's about time spent with your pet so I can let you know that all seems well with them, in their time of missing you. I do short notice and can easily do last minute house checks or pet visits without much notice as well. I hope to be adding occasional doggy daycare as well and that too, can include short notice. I am trustworthy and you can count on me to be your righthand, if something needs your attention or calls you out of town. My main work focus is pet care so there is often availability. I've finished up my main career and now, am semi-retired and lucky enough to get to do what I love and that is pets and adventures. So don't hesitate if you need help quickly. I'm there for it. The best compliment I have ever received upon the arrival home of a repeat client was when she said, "The best part about entrusting our pets with you (6 cats and a large dog) is that when we walk through the door (I am gone by then as per their wishes) no one comes running to the door to see if it's us, because with you here, they didn't even know we were missing." I will admit, that felt great because if it were my pet, I would constantly fear that they were pining away for me and frankly, that thought would detract from my vacation. With petsitting in your home or even drop-in visits, your directive is key. I will follow your instructions to a T so that you don't have to worry and so your pets have the least amount of stress, in your absence, as possible. I will ask for written instructions so there is no confusion. I will be as communicative as you desire. That could mean a pic and a note every day or no communication period. Whatever works best for you. If house-sitting, rest assured you can have full trust in my ability not only to maintain your house and pets but also to manage any issues/emergencies you may have. I've often babysat sump pumps and waatched temperatures for freezing conditions so as to switch thermostats from heat pump to furnace. Any little tidbit I can help with, I'm there.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our two miniature schnauzers, Archie and Murphy! Cass took such great care of both of them and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She kept us updated throughout their stay and sent us lots of photos, which we absolutely loved. Archie can be quite anxious and takes medication, so we were especially grateful for how patient and attentive Cass was with him. She did a fantastic job making sure he received his medication and, just as importantly, kept both boys on their normal routine. It was clear that Cass genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups! We would absolutely recommend Cass and will definitely have her look after Archie and Murphy again.”
“Rawan was very professional and punctual. She arrived on time as discussed and kept me updated throughout her stay. I’m glad I had the opportunity to book her and will definitely use her again. I highly recommend her services.”
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a huge animal lover who believes pets aren’t just pets — they’re family! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry loved ones, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience caring for senior pets and administering medications. I understand that older animals and pets with special medical needs often require extra patience, attention, and a gentle touch. I’m comfortable following medication schedules, maintaining established routines, and providing the additional care and reassurance they need to feel their best. I know every animal has their own unique personality, preferences, and little quirks. Whether you have an energetic puppy, an independent cat, or a sweet senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. You can expect reliable communication, plenty of love, and regular updates (including adorable pictures!) so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and the kind of care I’d want for my own animals. 🐶🐱❤️ I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! I have daily availability Tuesday - Friday each week. I can do in home sitting or drop ins on these days. I’m always looking to develop long term clients and helping out in a pinch! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can maintain their familiar routines in the comfort of their own home. My goal is to provide loving, reliable, and personalized care while giving pet parents complete peace of mind. For drop-in visits, I make sure your pet receives everything they need, including fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, medication administration if required, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I also take the time to check on their overall well-being and ensure they’re happy and comfortable before leaving. For in-home pet sitting, I strive to keep your pet’s daily routine as consistent as possible. From feeding schedules and medications to playtime, companionship, and bedtime routines, I tailor my care to their individual needs and personality. With 15 years of experience caring for cats, from energetic kittens to seniors requiring extra patience and attention, I understand that every pet is different. Whether your furry friend is outgoing and affectionate or shy and independent, I’ll always respect their boundaries and help them feel safe and secure. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. You can expect regular updates, adorable photos, and open communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands! 🐾❤️

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leamington
I’m pretty sure she won me over the second she showed up to our meet & greet with a notebook full of questions. 😂 Leaving my dog AND my home with someone for four days requires a pretty ridiculous amount of trust from me, and somehow I felt completely comfortable doing exactly that. She’s incredibly responsible, flexible, hardworking, communicative, and there are zero qualms to hiring her. My dog was happy, my house was still standing, and I got to enjoy my trip without worrying. 10/10, would hand her the keys again. 😁😁😁 thanks Gemma ❤️
Gemma was so incredible with my rambunctious Husky! She prioritized knowing my pet before, during and after her stay at my house. She left the house in beautiful condition and sent me pictures of him too while we were away. Gemma made me feel 100% comfortable leaving my dog in her care- and if you ask anyone who knows me that is very big!! 100/10 recommend her for watching your beloved pets, we will definitely be using her again!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Leamington 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 Leamington 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 Leamington 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 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
