About: IG: Lady.rav | FB: Raveen walks dogs - Halton & area Dogs are my happy place — I’ve always felt at home around them. I’ve owned four German Shepherds, all rescues, and have done a mix of personal and professional training with them (including one with dog aggression). Those experiences taught me how to understand dogs deeply, from their body language to the way they respond to human energy. I’m active, love hiking, and think everything is more fun with a four‑legged friend beside me. Dogs usually settle quickly around me and feel comfortable, which makes walks, playtime, and downtime easy and enjoyable. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or calm structure, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m currently building my consulting business, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility during the week to focus on caring for furry loved ones. On weekends, I volunteer helping abuse survivors move into safe housing during the day, so my evenings remain open and available for walks, drop‑ins, and overnight care. My schedule allows me to be consistently present, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language and needs. I double‑check doors, gates, and safety details, and keep communication open so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is a calm, secure environment where your dog can relax and you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Paige is THEE BEST!! She’s so thoughtful and caring, she genuinely loves our pets the way we do <3 she sent so many pictures and we could see that they were so happy!! we know our pets loved having her take care of them. It was a wonderful experience and we can’t wait to call upon her services again soon!!”

“Janaya was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs during an 8-day trip! It is always stressful leaving pets for over a week, but they provided daily updates, great communication, and took excellent care of everything. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and well-loved the entire time. I highly recommend Janaya and will definitely book them again in the future! 5/5 stars!”

“Thanks Nicole for taking such great care of Lajla while we were away. She is normally nervous around new people, yet she was at ease with you right away giving you kisses. Your good nature and professionalism was appreciated. We enjoyed the daily pictures of Lajla that you sent of your walks and snuggles. It set our minds at ease knowing that she was well looked after and that you were able to stay overnight so she had someone to snuggle with. I would recommend your services to anyone and would not hesitate to contact you again to look after Lajla. Thanks again!!!”

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Janet. Firstly, we are new to Rover and she assured us right away and provided such excellent information on how the whole process worked. She came to our home to meet our dog Ollie on two occasions, which allowed him and us to get very comfortable around her. In those meetings she was so naturally loving and nurturing to Ollie, which allowed him to trust her almost immediately. She listened intently on Ollie’s eating schedule, his medication routine, and his route for walking (altered due to his recently knee surgery) and she implemented all our requests while house sitting. She sent frequent pictures and updates (twice daily) to give us peace of mind that Ollie was doing okay in our absence, as he is a very nervous and anxious dog. We could see from these pictures and updates that Ollie was coping well in his new circumstances for the week. She also took excellent care of our home, keeping it clean, taking out our garbage, and essentially leaving it as we left it. Because of Janet we were able to really enjoy our vacation and it gave us extreme peace of mind that our home, and more importantly, our dog was safe in our absence. We would definitely reach out to Janet again in the future if we needed a dog sitter/ house sitter!”
About: Hello! My name is gurman and I am a veterinary technician student who aspires to serve the animals of her community for the rest of her life! I have been walking dogs in the neighborhood for my family and friends for over 8 years, and have finally decided to turn this into an official venture! I live on a farm with multiple dogs, cats, and horses, and I know how important physical and mental stimulation is for our fur babies! I would love to give your animals love and be able to make their and their owners lives a little easier! I am currently taking a semester off from school, so until december I am at your service! I am available all times of the day to come to you, and will work around your hours! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and communicating with you through regular updates and photos. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.
“Anne did a fabulous job looking after Ollie. I arrived home after 7 days away to a happy and well cared for dog. My house was left by Anne in the same condition I left it for her. She kept me informed every day, of Ollie’s activities and sent me pictures of him so I could see for myself how he was. I would have Anne back when I travel again and would have no hesitation in recommending her.”

“Alexandra was great with our chocolate lab puppy she loved her and was calm and relaxed the whole stay. She was always punctual and super patient with our high-energy pup. Would definitely recommend.”


“Lorin was absolutely fantastic with 3 huskies and cat while we were away. She is very thorough, knowledgeable and asks all the right questions. It’s easy to tell she is very experienced dealing with various breeds and behaviors. She provided regular updates and provided excellent care for our pack.”

About: I have loved and taken care of dogs ever since I was a teenager. Back home in India, my wife and I are the proud parents of a cute, energetic 5-year-old Indian Spitz named Archie. While I work on the paperwork and logistics to bring Archie over to join us here in Canada, my home has plenty of room, and we have a lot of love to share! Raising Archie from a puppy into a healthy adult dog has given me a deep, practical skillset that sets us apart: • High-Energy Pet Handling Expertise: I am very experienced with double-coated breeds, regular brushing, shedding management, and keeping intelligent, high-energy dogs mentally stimulated. • Vigilant Health Tracking: As a dedicated pet parent, I closely monitor a dog’s behavior, appetite, and stool. I know exactly how to spot the early signs of stress or discomfort and can adapt immediately to make your pup feel safe. We aren't just looking for an extra income—we genuinely miss our dog and will treat your furry friend with the exact same devotion, warmth, and attention we give our own. Pet care doesn't just fit into our routine—it actively completes our home! We are currently awaiting the relocation of our 5-year-old Indian Spitz from India to Canada, so we have a lot of love to give and are explicitly doing Rover to bring that wonderful dog energy back into our daily lives. • 24/7 Supervision: My wife is entirely work-from-home 24x7, meaning guest dogs are never left unattended. Your pup will have total freedom to snooze right next to her desk, get frequent belly rubs, and receive constant, loving attention throughout the day. • Highly Flexible Scheduling: I work a flexible hybrid schedule and only head into the office thrice a week. I can intentionally schedule my office days and hours around your pet's availability and specific needs to ensure total consistency. • Built-in Exercise & Play: Routine care, frequent potty breaks in our fenced yard, and daily walks to Bristol Park or Coates Park perfectly match our desire to stay active and spend quality time with dogs. We treat every guest dog with the exact same level of care, vigilance, and affection that we give our own Spitz. Because we are hosting pets in our own home, we have structured our environment and daily habits to ensure absolute safety and peace of mind • Fully Fenced Backyard: Our backyard is completely enclosed with a secure fence. Your dog will always be supervised by one of us whenever they are outside playing or taking a potty break—we never leave guest dogs in the yard unattended. • Dog-Proofed Indoors: Our home is kept clean, tidy, and completely free of hazards. All loose wires, human foods, cleaning supplies, and toxic items are stored securely out of paw's reach. • Frequent, Real-Time Updates: We believe trust is built through transparency. We send regular text and photo updates throughout the day showing your pup relaxing by our desks or enjoying walks. We are also happy to jump on a quick video call if you ever want to see your dog and say a quick hello! • No Unattended Coexistence: We rarely accept bookings for pets from different families at the same time. If we do, they are carefully introduced and always supervised. Dogs are securely separated during feeding times to prevent any resource guarding or food anxiety.
“Ethan was an excellent sitter for our dog while we were out of town!! He responded quickly to messages and handled a last-minute booking change with ease. He kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind :)”

“Mary was an excellent choice for house sitting and pet sitting with our dog! She sent us daily updates and made sure our pup was getting lots of love and attention while we were away. We will definitely be asking her to dog sit when we are away next!”

“Paige put our minds totally at ease while caring for our 2 large dogs and our cat. She sent me plenty of updates and photos which was greatly appreciated. She stayed in our home so the dogs would be more comfortable, had them out for plenty of walks and playtime and even sat with my extremely picky eater so that he would finish his meal. It's always tough to leave your fur babies but we knew they were in great hands. We will definitely use Paige in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”

Usually, I like to walk the pets in the early morning afternoon and later night before sleep.

About: I have had formal training with the both the Kitchener SPCA as a dog care attendant and Paws it Forward foster agency as a foster parent for numerous dogs of all sizes and backgrounds. This has allowed me to develop my skills as a pet sitter and ensure that I am properly taking care of your animals as per industry standards. Additionally, having both a cat and a special needs dog gives me the understanding of the responsibility of looking after another persons pet. As a care provider I am kind, energetic and attentive. If I seem like the right fit don’t hesitate to reach out! I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m able to take breaks to check in on them, provide meals, fresh water, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. Because I’m home for most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I can also be flexible with timing and adjust my schedule around your pet’s routine and individual needs. Whether your pet is looking for a walk, some playtime, or simply a little extra company during the day, I’m happy to provide a calm, comfortable, and caring environment while you’re away. I care for every pet according to their individual needs, personality, and routine. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for pets in house, I make sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

Paige is an excellent cat sitter. She was very responsive and took great care of both our cat and home. We really appreciated all the photos and updates while we were away. I would 100% book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

We couldn't be happier with the care Angela provided for Thor. From our very first meet-and-greet, she made us feel comfortable and took the time to get to know both Thor and us. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Thor up, it was obvious he had been incredibly well cared for. His coat looked shinier, like he had been brushed regularly, and he came home relaxed and content. Normally he's extremely excited and clingy after we've been away, but this time he was calm and happy, which told us he had received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while we were gone. We also ran into an unexpected issue with Thor's food delivery, and Angela went above and beyond by helping us pick up his food from the pet store without hesitation. That level of kindness and flexibility meant a lot to us. If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves animals, communicates exceptionally well, and treats your dog like one of her own, we highly recommend Angela. We wouldn't hesitate to trust her with Thor again and will absolutely be booking with her in the future!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Janet. Firstly, we are new to Rover and she assured us right away and provided such excellent information on how the whole process worked.

We were thrilled with the care that Jodi gave our pets. We have an elderly border collie that needs special attention and we felt so comfortable with the care our dog received. She kept us informed about their day and even gave the dog and cat little nick names. It meant the world to us to know the pets were in good hands. Dont hesitate to have Jodi tend to your pet.
Marie was wonderful with my husky, Xylo! From the moment I picked him up, he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. She took him on a walk, followed all of my instructions carefully, and kept me updated throughout the evening. It's clear she genuinely cares. I felt completely at ease leaving Xylo with her and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Marie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🩷

Audrie was great! Was the first time using Rover after I started to become uncomfortable leaving my 18 year old cockapoo alone for any extended periods of time. His declining mobility means he can’t always get himself up to standing and needs some help occasionally when he wanders into a corner and can’t figure out how to turn around. Audrie was so sweet with him and I came home to a happy, well cared for and sound asleep puppy! Can’t thank Audrie enough for her kind, responsible and mature approach with caring for Jackson. Would recommend her to anyone.

Xinting did an amazing job for my 2 pets Fred & Ella. Arrived on time and took Fred on a walk. Sent me pictures and i can tell Ella ( who has anxiety problem) was very comfortable and even slept on Xining lap. Thank you so much for taking care for both of them. Will definitely book again and your pet will always be in good care with Xingting/

Nicole recently stayed at our house with our two dogs for a week and my dogs absolutely loved her. They were well taken care of and went on exciting new walks. Nicole was very friendly, caring and nurturing and we will look forward to booking her again.

Chantale stayed at our house with our two dogs while we were away for a week. She sent lots of pics - lots of play, snuggles and walks. Dogs seemed to be happy and well cared for when we returned! Would recommend! Thanks Chantale for taking great care of our pups and home while we were away!
Incredibly pleased! The love and care provided to my puppy could only be described as a blessing! From start to finish, the most wonderful and caring duo. Sang and Denielle were so thoughtful and even left a puppy report card & special treats for Kobe. I am so grateful for them and blessed to have them care for Kobe. Will definitely refer to friends and family! ❤️

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Milton 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 Milton 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 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!
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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
