“Fionna was absolutely lovely to work with. She made several drop-in visits to look after our three cats, and was highly diligent in her care, taking the time to write detailed reports after each visit and taking photos of our boys to send us during our month long absence away from home. She was also very flexible and reliable, going above and beyond, helping us when we needed two more emergency visits because our absence was extended by a week. Highly recommend her services!!”

“Truffles immediately fell in love with Caylie! She took great care of him, in the pics she sent you can tell he was having an amazing time with her just by his relaxed body posture and the absolute puppy dog eyes he's giving her. She was on time, followed his routine perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure he got some energy out, mental and physical. We're very grateful for her expert level care. Can't thank you enough Caylie!”

About: I have been honoured to be from a very animal Oriented family and have lived on a farm for most of my life. I have cared for and have given the best care and love to animals such as, Guinea pigs, cats, turtles, horses, dogs, and pretty much everything else you can imagine. I was born an animal lover and every animal becomes my family. I can identify special needs in any animal such as first aid, anxiety issues etc I work from home, so your pet has 24/7 attention. Be prepared for your loved one to get 3-4 walks a day along with an hour play time or a trip to the dog park daily! I have a fenced yard. My golden retriever is very patient and loves all types of dogs. If your dog is allowed on the couch or bed, well so is mine. I would rather your dog be able to cuddle and be comfy right beside me during the night to make them feel trust, and feel more comfortable in a strange environment. I am able to make every animal feel like home. Just ask my references … if your dog likes burger patties from McDonalds or pup cups from star bucks… I’m your girl… I am very experienced with highly reactive and aggressive dogs as well. Unfortunately, I do Have a dog of my own, but can manage very well as I am highly trained with aggressive dogs. I believe all dogs can be trained in a well loved and supportive environment once triggers are identified I spoil every animal like it’s my own! Great with puppies and super forgiving. We all make mistakes even if it’s our furniture!!! I have tons of training experience to make this not happen! I am fear based certified as I am a canine enrichment volunteer at the Ottawa Humane Society

About: I’m an animal lover to the core. Growing up, we always had both cats and dogs. I have experience taking care of pets, whether it’s taking dogs on long walks or tending to indoor cats with various temperaments. I have over 20 years of experience dog walking and pet sitting for friends, family and neighbours. I also enjoy teaching pets new tricks and commands, and making my own homemade cat and dog treats. I have a chatty, cuddly cat named Mowgli and have a deep understanding of the roles our pets play in our lives. Our pets become members of our family, with their unique personalities, quirks, and unconditional love. I have plenty of time to dedicate to play with your pets while you’re away! I currently work from home 4 days a week from Mon-Fri and am free on weekends. I’m available for boarding anytime, and for house drop-ins anytime. It would be my pleasure to create meow-gnificant experiences for your pet. I have a large home for your pets to roam around in, and a dedicated room for fur babies who might require their own room to sleep in at night. In addition, I have a backyard and live in a neighbourhood with many walking trails and parks outside my door. My friendly, affectionate cat likes to play with other cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes. You’re barking up the right tree; your four-legged friend will be in safe care while you’re out of town.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, from my two beloved cats, Easton and Leo, to rabbits, a conure, chickens, ducks, and fish. I genuinely love and respect all animals, and I bring that same care and attentiveness to every pet I look after. What sets me apart is the combination of experience, empathy, and commitment. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, whether they’re playful kittens or shy seniors, and I take the time to connect with them in a calm, respectful way. You can count on me to provide trusted, compassionate care, just like I do for my own. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my everyday life. I work from home full-time, which allows me to give your cat the attention, companionship, and care they need throughout the day. I also have two animal-loving, babysitter-certified daughters who are home for the summer and just as dedicated to making your feline friend feel safe, loved, and comfortable. With our calm, pet-friendly home and flexible schedule, your cat will be in caring and attentive hands at all times In our home, we have a completely separate, quiet section dedicated solely to the pets we care for. This space is designed to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free, with cozy spots for resting and plenty of attention. We understand how important it is to create a calm environment, especially for cats who may be shy or adjusting to a new place.If caring for pets in your home, we follow your routines closely to provide familiar comfort and minimize any disruption.

About: I have had dogs big and small since I was a child. My mother and aunt run a dog kennel with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. They also run a local breeding service giving me lots of experience with dogs young and old. I currently still own a bernadoodle who loves his walks I’m sure as much as your dog does too. I work shift work and on my days off love staying active when I’m not with my children. I love being outside and what better excuse to have than to help get your loved ones some exercise. I am strictly a dog walker or someone who can come to your house and let your animals out in the yard for a stretch and exercise.

About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner for many years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of raising and caring for Mack, my black Lab who has been part of our family since 2012, Lilo, my beloved Miniature Pinscher who has passed away, and Harley, our Boston Terrier and Dachshund mix. Today, I share my life with Cookie, our four-year-old German Shepherd. Having experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, affection, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I know that pets are family, and I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while their owners are away. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I give my own! My daily routine includes three walks a day, plenty of playtime, affection, and cuddles! ❤️ I want every furry guest to feel safe, happy, and right at home while receiving all the love and attention they deserve. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! ❤️ I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family.

About: I’ve been watching dogs for 7 years now. I love all types of dogs. But the first dog I ever got close to was a pitbull. He was the first over night dog sit/house sit. I ever did, the couple would travel often due to work. So I would dog sit about 2/3 times a week. I did that for about two years and gained a lot of experience with dogs due to that job. I also find dog walking a great way to stay healthy and active with out it feeling like a work out. I’ve enjoyed dogging sitting ever since I started and don’t plan to stop. So for now that I can’t get a dog of my own. I’ll just watch yours ! Just send me a message and ill send you my number so we can set up a meeting. Price is negotiable. I’m currently a full time student online so I’m looking to make cash while staying active and happy and what a better way than to pet sit. I’ve loved animal since I was a little girl so being around them always brings me joy and as you’ll see they take a liking to me as well. Even the pups you think won’t, always end up loving me as well. I live in a very spacious one bedroom apartment with a balcony alone so they always feel free and nice fresh air. There is a courtyard in my building that is dog friendly and three dog parks near my building as well. So they will always have room to run and be themselves. I am a full time online student so I would be spending my whole day with your pups. They would always be in great care with love and attention. I have a nice courtyard in my building that’s pet friendly and they can play and I also have three dog parks in my area. Where they can run around and meet new pups if allowed I am currently an full time online student so I would be with your pup the whole day. If you’d like to hear my specific daily routine let me know 😊 I usually stick to the routine a parent gives me so they can feel as comfortable as possible while staying with me or if I’m staying in their home.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them family. Our first dog, Sasha, was adopted four months before I was born and had significant behavioural needs. She was my best friend for thirteen wonderful years, and caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. Since then, my family has had two more dogs, and I’ve gained experience caring for seniors, managing specialized diets, preparing food, and handling unexpected veterinary concerns. Our current dog, Zyler, has canine megaesophagus and requires specialized food preparation and feeding techniques. He’s a lot of work, but he’s also the absolute love of my life! I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and taking the time to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am a full time student. I have 3-5 hours of non-negotiable commitments during the week, but I am a homebody and I can be around constantly outside of synchronous in-person classes. I am free Tuesdays. Saturday’s and Sunday’s without restrictions I care for pets by taking my cues from your animal. Having been a foster volunteer, I am aware of signals and cues and how to respect an animal’s boundaries while caring for their needs. I am the cleanest, most respectful house guest and will leave the place immaculate. I will respect homeowners predefined boundaries while providing as much play and cuddles possible.

“Christine was our first catsitter, from Rover, with Mario and Luigi. I felt really good leaving for 5 days, knowing that we had an established schedule and a list of extra info for Christine. She did amazing! I had news/pics daily. I am so pleased with Christine’s care. I especially appreciated the daily entries in a journal left for me 🤩. It was fun to read!

About: Known to be VERY respectful of every fur parents' homes, fur baby training, feeding, walking schedules; loving, enthusiastic, responsible and timely, with strong communication skills. You can always trust me with your fur baby! I have a full time day job and work (on-site) 8am-4pm on weekdays. I also volunteer on Saturdays and have various classes sprinkled throughout the year. I work very well with furbabies who can be alone during the day. I strive to provide a safe and responsible environment. I follow each parents' routine to a T (whether that's feeding amounts or exercise times), so that the fur baby's schedule does not shift upon return. I am also very tuned to differing personalities and will accommodate accordingly.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and I’m passionate about making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶❤️ I’m a patient and attentive pet caregiver who takes the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, a little shy and needs time to warm up, or simply enjoys some company and attention during the day, I’m happy to adapt to them. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every dog is different, and I believe in positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and never rushing a dog beyond their comfort level. When your dog is with me, my priority is simple: their safety, happiness, and well-being. I’ll treat your pup like my own and keep you updated so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐾💕 IG pawsandgrace26 My schedule allows me to dedicate my weekdays to pet care, especially during the daytime when many pet parents are at work. I’m available Monday through Friday from approximately 10 AM to 3 PM for dog walks, drop-in visits, and other pet-care needs. I’m also sometimes available on weekends depending on my schedule. I value consistency and reliability, so I’m happy to work with pet parents to establish a regular routine that works well for their pets. My priority is always the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment and always keep pets supervised and secure. During walks, I use appropriate leashes and pay close attention to my surroundings and the pet’s behavior. I also make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure so pets cannot accidentally escape. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I want both pets and their families to feel safe, comfortable, and confident in my care.

About: I love love cats and dogs!! I sadly have not had the life yet to be able to own my own yet, but I am always the friend who is volunteering to take care of my friends’ pets!! I am excited and enthusiastic when my friends now ask me because they know I will say yes and try to make it happen. I work during the day a lot but am flexible with scheduling. So I am able to between my 2 shifts do pet care as well and I am always free in the late evenings. I also am a morning person, so I am also happy to feed and walk your pay before the day begins. I am always aware of where the pets are and pay attention to their behaviours and their body language. I keep an eye on them and follow them to see what they are up to and if they are the type to love attention I will provide them with it with snuggles or petting

About: With 5 years of Veterinary Assistant experience, I provide calm, compassionate care tailored to each pet. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and giving extra time and patience to senior pets. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar environment, so I care for them in their home where they feel safe and comfortable. I value routine and clear communication, and before each booking, I like to go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any important dos and don’ts. Safety is always my priority. For dogs, I avoid dog parks and interactions with unfamiliar dogs until I know their communication and comfort level. My goal is simple: to keep your pet happy, safe, comfortable, and cared for like family while you’re away. ❤️ I work strictly overnight shifts at an animal hospital, giving me flexible daytime availability to care for your pets with plenty of time and attention. I don’t care for pets in my own home because I strongly believe in the comfort and security of their familiar surroundings. When pet parents are away, I believe the least stressful option is for a sitter to come to them—allowing pets to stay in their own space, routine, and comfort zone.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Marionville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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 Marionville 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.

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.

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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
