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.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. My father was a certified breeder. I have a 2 year old Australian Shepherd/Husky. Also, we had a special needs dog who had many issues. I have 13 years of experience with administering medications and insulin via syringe. I’m currently working part time and starting my own business so I’m looking for something to fill the gaps. Filling my time sheet with animals is the best. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for a dog to run and do their business. Plenty of toys and fun things for them to do.

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: 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.

About: I have raised and trained dogs my entire life and grew up on farms in British Columbia with all kinds of animals. I have 1 dog who is a standard golden doodle; she is 6 years old and very sweet. I have 3 small children who are ages 4 and 2 and who love to play with pets. We will take such good care of your dog. We offer a cage free environment where there is plenty of love to go around! We only have 2 dogs at a time in addition to our own, so your dog gets a lot of devotion and attention. We have a beautiful backyard and area to play across the street as well. I work at home Monday, Wednesday and Friday which are the weekdays I offer this service, and I am home weekends with my kids and our dog. I'm willing to take dogs Tuesdays and Thursdays as well, they will just be with my dog home alone for 8 hours before let out again. I have a fully fenced beautiful yard and a very loving family. Your dog will get the best care at our house! They will be treated like family. They can sleep in their crate if that's what they are used to or they can sleep on our bed too if needed to make them feel safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. Growing up with five family dogs, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience providing love, exercise, and daily care. While attending university, my roommates and I rescued a senior stray cat and ensured he received the veterinary care and loving home he needed. My best friend and I also adopted a rescue dog with behavioural challenges, and through patience, consistency, and understanding, we helped him build trust and significantly improve his behaviour. I currently help care for our two family poodles and my boyfriend’s cat. With over 20 years of experience caring for animals of different ages, personalities, and needs, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own! I work full-time Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with every other Friday off. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting outside of my regular working hours, including evenings, weekends, and my scheduled Fridays off. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and am happy to coordinate care around your pet’s routine. For house sitting, I can provide overnight companionship and care while maintaining my regular work schedule. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs to make sure we’re a great fit! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! Having grown up caring for animals and currently sharing responsibility for two family poodles, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I provide care in your pet’s familiar home environment, following their usual feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual personality, comfort level, and needs, and always approach pets with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. I also respect your home and will treat both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away!

About: Hi, I’m Leiker. Although this is my first time walking or watching dogs professionally, I’ve grown up always having one of my own, and am the proud current owner of a cockapoo that I rescued. I understand how hard being away from your pets can be, and that struggle is only made worse when you have to trust them with a stranger. That is why I am fully committed to building a relationship of trust and friendship with whom ever I work with. I am available for walks and sitting any time of the day, and am more than happy to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to working with you and your pet, and making sure you both always feel comfortable with me. Available from home any time of the day and fairly flexible in terms of getting around. Happy to take care of your pets wherever you see fit. I keep my condo clean and free of hazards for pets. I live close to a park (St. James) and always keep an eye out for stray food or choking hazards.

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!

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Milton Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Milton Heights 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 Heights 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 Heights 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. 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.
