Paige is knowledgeable and competent in medication administration and care for this type of disease. She communicates well, answered all of our questions and kept us updated with each visit. We would love to have Paige take care of our cats again!”

About: Planning pet care can be challenging, I know, I've been there for decades. Look no further for someone who can assist, besides family or a friend you have to inconvenience again! Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Nicole, a naturalist and animal lover, offering services for you and your pet's needs when you're away from your furry friend. I was gifted with a deep bond and ability to connect naturally with animals and nature from a young age. I am a loving, caring and active caregiver. After a lifetime of owning my own dogs, I am joyfully in a position to have the opportunity to share my love and affection to your pet unconditionally and with my undivided attention. Our home includes our two young adults (recently returned) and our middle-aged cat, Ace. (Who clearly acts like his name implies) Following the loss of our beloved Tonka in the end of 2023, I felt the desire to focus on offering pet services to individuals/families with pets so they could feel at ease while away at work, during weekend escapes and holidays. Having my own challenges finding pet care in the past, I strive to provide comfort for your pet in a loving home or in the comfort of their own home, while you're away. I was a volunteer with St John Ambulance as a Therapy Dog Handler with our family dog from 2015 to 2023, visiting and sharing our pet with those who needed something positive in their life to raise their spirits or to those who just desired some furry snuggles and TLC. You'll find me hiking regularly at the conservation areas that are close to home and connecting to nature. Being self-employed allows me the ability for flexible hours to accommodate different circumstances each of you may have. I welcome the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend(s) in advance of scheduling our visits/stays. Please contact me to chat about your fur baby and see we are a good fit. A healthy lifestyle is important for me and for my pets. Enjoying all seasons here in Ontario, I have no problem staying active and being outdoors with your pet. Rest assured, in extreme heat/cold, we use caution as needed. I work part-time from home and can be available to assist in a variety of ways for my clients. When we were blessed with our dog, he was well taken care of and went for a walk at a minimum, twice a day (morning and late afternoon) and on weekends we generally spent an afternoon in the local conversation area or a trail system within the GTA. With your approval, I'd enjoy your furry companion join me on my next adventure on the trails. 🪾 Being a very active person, I'm able to accommodate walk routines in the early morning and throughout the day, rain or shine. I regularly groomed our flat-coated retriever and cared for his needs as he aged (medication, vet visits, assistance in/out of car), accommodating him when he wanted extra love or a shorter walk in the neighbourhood vs a hike in the woods. I offer a very welcoming and positive energy in our home and expect your furry friend to be comforted while they visit with us or when I visit with them. I am trained in energy healing and animals (being very open spirited) are easily connected to me, which often creates a positive and stress-free union.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lidiane did an amazing job taking care of our pets, Bella and Noenoe, while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being, and they were happy and well taken care of when we got back. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”

About: Training my own rambunctious Alaskan Malamute from puppyhood to adulthood has provided so much experience! I am familiar with food sensitivity for pets, the importance of a special diet, and consistent training with positive reinforcement. Clicker training produces great results for behavioural training. I also have experience with pet grooming as my malamute would shed 24/7/365. I am a consultant and work from home and can dedicate time to your pet. My availability is open throughout the week and have lots of time to give your pet the attention that they need. I have easy access to the outdoors for play and potty breaks and trails around the area. Love to go for walks during the day.

About: Your pup gets the best of both worlds! 🐾 I’m a veterinary technician and hospital manager, so I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to sweet seniors and dogs who need a little extra TLC. My husband is a full-time dog walker, so there’s always someone around for walks, cuddles, playtime, and little adventures! ✨ We love making dogs feel like part of the family — whether that means zoomies in the yard, a cozy cuddle session, or being their personal treat-tasting assistant. 🐶💕 Our goal? Happy pups, wagging tails, tired-out toes, and a dog who’s already wondering when they get to come back! 🐾 🐾 Pets are part of our everyday life! My husband is home regularly, so your pup or kitty gets plenty of company, attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Caring for animals is second nature to us. Between walks, cuddles, playtime, and relaxing together, we make sure your pet gets the love and care they deserve. We want every pet to feel like part of the family — not just a place to stay, but a true home away from home! ❤️🐶🐱 🐾 A safe, cozy home with plenty to explore! We’re on the first floor of our apartment, making quick potty breaks and outdoor time super easy. We’re also right near a beautiful ravine, so there are lots of walks, sniffing, exploring, and adventures waiting just outside our door! 🌿🐶 Inside, pets are treated like family and get plenty of love, attention, and supervision. We keep things calm, clean, and comfortable while making sure every pet feels safe and gets to enjoy their stay at their own pace. ❤️🐾

About: Nine years ago, I adopted Bella, who was very scared and unsure of the world when I brought her home. With lots of love, patience, and TLC, she gradually came out of her shell and transformed into the happy, confident dog she is today. She loves to play, follows commands, enjoys cuddles, and is truly the sweetest companion. That experience showed me how rewarding it is to care for and connect with dogs. I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and provide the same level of care and affection when you need an extra hand. Whether you need a dog walker, are planning a vacation, or have an unexpected business trip, I can help. You shouldn't have to worry about where your dog will stay or who will care for them while you're away. I have been there, and I have canceled vacations. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and spoiled, just as they would be at home with you. I can walk your dog starting at 30 minutes or longer, depending on your dog's needs. Every dog is unique, so I'm flexible and happy to adjust the length and pace of the walk to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable. Whether your pup loves a leisurely stroll or needs a little extra exercise, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection along the way. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention and affection. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos (if requested) so they can feel confident that their pet is happy and well cared for while they're away.

About: I genuinely love animals and would be happy to give your dog plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care. I previously worked at an animal shelter in the education sector, where I spent time around and worked with many different types of animals. I currently work as a respite and skill builder supporting adults with special needs, so I’m very comfortable being responsible, attentive, and respectful in people’s homes. I also have plenty of experience with dogs in everyday life. I currently live with my roommate’s dog, have lived with dogs with previous roommates, and have helped care for friends’ and family members’ pets and homes while they were away. I’m also an experienced traveler and have used TrustedHousesitters myself, caring for people’s pets while staying in their homes. I’ve also stayed in 25 five-star Airbnb homes while traveling, which has taught me to be exceptionally clean, considerate, and respectful of other people’s spaces. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, companionship, a consistent routine, or simply someone dependable around while you’re away, I’d love to help. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because my schedule is flexible. I work as a respite worker, with my most consistent hours generally being from 3–7 p.m., so I’m usually available during the mornings and earlier parts of the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and spending time with pets. I also work as a singer, but those jobs are usually one-off bookings that I know about in advance. I have a few regular commitments, including Thursday evenings and some Sunday mornings, but otherwise my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility. Because I work with clients in their homes, I’m already comfortable building my day around someone else’s needs and routines. I’m responsible about keeping track of my commitments and would always make sure I have plenty of time and availability to give your pet the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, favorite activities, and any specific instructions you leave for me. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, meals, fresh water, companionship, and whatever other care your pet needs. Because I work with clients in their homes, I’m already comfortable building my day around someone else’s needs and routines. I’m respectful of people’s homes and understand the importance of keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. I’m responsible about keeping track of my commitments and would always make sure I have plenty of time and availability to give your pet the attention and care they need. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and home are in good hands.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect

About: I grew up rescuing stray dogs and cats in Mauritius and had 2 dogs and 4 cats as best friends! My husband Anthony grew up with large dogs and several cats throughout the years. We live with our 2 rambunctious cats I am currently on maternity leave while Anthony works in Toronto. We are free to drop in to check on your fur babies anytime during the day! We have two very different indoor cats that require different levels of care. We travel quite often so we know how important it is to take each pet's needs and personality into consideration. You can trust that we have the dedication, compassion and knowledge base to treat your babies as they were our own special little guys.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, detail oriented pet sitter focused on providing a calm and comfortable experience for your pets. I take time to closely follow your routine, keep you updated, and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you're away. Outside of my primary job, my schedule allows for great flexibility during evenings and weekends. I can easily manage my time to provide consistent drop-in visits, feeding, and overnight house sitting. Volunteering at an animal shelter has given me great experience reading pet behavior, handling different personalities, and keeping pets calm. At your home, I strictly follow your pet's exact routine, respect their space, and ensure a safe, comfortable, and low stress environment.

“Paerhati was superrr amazing! From start to finish all interactions were easy and consistent. She was able to watch my cat for 5 nights last minute and sent me daily updates. You can tell she loves animals and she’s very friendly! I’m very careful with who I leave my cat with and she’s been the best so far. I appreciate her having a spare room for him to get accustomed to her house slowly and she keeps her home very clean and organized which I also appreciate when leaving him with someone. HIGHLYYY recommend her to anyone!”

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

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 Milton 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 80% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
