About: For me, pets are not just another being living at home but a part of family. Hence, I patiently learn, understand their character and needs so that I can provide the required care accordingly. As I am currently a stay at home wife, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I ensure regular feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping a clean, secure space. I build trust with lots of love, regular meals, and playtime, using pet-friendly products to keep everything healthy.
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a child! Growing up I would spend time with my uncles dog Diesel! I love walking dogs and teaching them new tricks and of course giving them lots of treats to reinforce good behaviour and habits and maybe even an extra treat just for being cute ! i’m excited to offer pet care services! I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while under my care. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention! I’m very flexible and looking forward to discussing and following your pets preferences and routines ! I live in a condo & have a dog park nearby. Depending on your needs and routines that you have established for your pets I can care for them as needed so they can still maintain a sense of comfort when they’re away from home!
About: I have cared for pets from friends and family and have experience working with rescue dogs who needed extra patience, understanding, and care due to behavioral challenges. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently working part-time so I am flexible and available to meet your needs! My weekends are usually free, and so are my mornings and afternoons. I have a fenced backyard, and a 2 year old prince, Atlas, who is an outdoor cat and can be of lovely company. I live on a quiet street and near lots of greenery and scenic pathways. Perfect for long enjoyable walks.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments over the years, through both pet sitting and helping friends and family with their pups. I’m calm, patient, and naturally intuitive with animals. I know how to read their signals and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved. What makes me different is the one-on-one attention I give. I don’t just “watch” your dog, I bond with them. I send daily photo or video updates, follow your care instructions closely, and make sure they feel right at home. I also have a toddler who’s grown up around animals and loves being gentle with them, so I only accept dogs who are great with kids. This keeps the environment calm and safe for everyone. If you're looking for someone who truly treats your dog like family, I'm here for you! I'm home most of the day and available on both weekdays and weekends, so I have lots of time to give your dog attention, walks, play, and care. I schedule only what I can fully show up for, your dog will never feel like just a number. I keep things calm, clean, and safe. I only accept dogs who are gentle and good with kids, as I have a toddler who loves animals. I follow your dog's routine and needs closely and give lots of updates so you feel confident and at ease while you're away.
About: Mess with my animals; you mess with me. I am a fierce animal advocate/rescuer (Team Chelsea Volunteer). I am also a pet groomer in training. Animal care & welfare is important to me. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. My days are flexible. Currently, I have 3 of my own dogs (very friendly and playful) and one Sr. cat (Luna is a bit of a wild-child; typical of Tuxedo female cats; she stays upstairs in her safe place; either on my bed or on her cat tree). I have also made Luna a treehouse in the backyard tucked safely inside of a mulberry tree. I have a fenced yard and my home is quite frankly a safe haven for animals. I just live here. Their happiness and comfort is my priority.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m a patient, responsible and attentive pet sitter who will treat your pet like my own. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding and whatever care your pet needs to feel happy and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule, allowing plenty of time for pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, house sitting, and visits throughout the week when Needed. provide a calm, safe environment and carefully follow each pet’s routine. I respect your home and ensure your pet receives attentive, loving care when needed.
About: Hello, I'm Maggie, a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter and dog walker based in the Pitlochry area. I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and takes their wellbeing seriously — I understand that pets are family, not just animals. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I always tailor my approach to each pet’s individual needs. Whether that’s calm, steady walks, energetic outdoor time, feeding routines, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance, I aim to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I’m highly organised, punctual, and communicative. Pet owners can expect regular updates, photos if requested, and the peace of mind that their pet is being looked after with genuine attention and kindness. I’m also respectful of routines, instructions, and homes, and I take trust and reliability very seriously. I prioritize pet care into my routine and build my schedule around it, to ensure your pet has a high standard of care and attention. I offer pet sitting in my home or your own, daycare, dog walking on trails as well as on the estate I live on which is fenced.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets throughout the years. I'm currently working part-time remotely and have the time to work during regular business hours, evenings and weekends. Ideally from 8am - 9pm, Monday - Sunday! I have a fenced yard, can easily crate your dog if needed and love going on long walks throughout the day. I live close to many hiking trails!
“Marilyn saved the day while we were away on our vacation - our kitty sitter was unable to make it and Marilyn stepped in as soon as I contacted her. She went above and beyond, leaving us to enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Marilyn's reliable services! Thank you!!”
About: My preferred name is Zara. Nice to digitally meet you here :) I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! The reason I don’t have reviews but so many pictures is because pet parents I encounter don’t wish to pay extra fees and during meet & greet choose a different route :) I’ve 20+ years of experience in foster care, reactive dog care, senior dogs/cats care. I lost my job in Aug 2025 and I’m pet boarding full time. I’ll be there for your fur baby 24/7. If you like my work, tips would be greatly appreciated since pet sitting is my main and only source of income right now, while I actively hunt for a full-time job in this economy :) What sets me apart from other sitters is my approach and knowledge - i constantly update myself by reading more into holistic care and positive training for pets. I adapt my style of care to your pet because I believe each pet has their unique personalities, space and likes/dislikes. I love to mentally stimulate my pets with a walk in the park near by or puzzle games at home. I play soothing music in the house with some calming scent. I give cuddles to a cuddly pet or space to a more reserved pet. I never take dogs to dog park. I never leave your dog off leash anytime. Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority. A regular day in my life as a pet enthusiast: E.g. if it is a dog: 7am: morning poo/pee break 30 min 8am: breakfast 10am: morning walk 60min 2pm: afternoon poo/pee break 30min 3pm: lunch (if small dog) 6pm: evening walk 60min 8pm: dinner 9pm: night poo/pee break 30 min I’m currently unemployed hence I am home full time and I have a small 1 year friendly chihuahua (trained puppy). So I have more time on my hand to go dog walking or board your pet. I have a variety or trails and parks nearby; I believe dogs need regular walks to mentally stimulate themselves with their super strong sense of smell. I love enrichment walks with dogs. My pet dog Chico would love to have a companion to go on a walk with. I have 6 feet and 20/50 feet leash at home. I also have a big sized crate in my house if needed. If you are boarding your pet cat at my place, I would encourage you to provide all the supplies because a change of diet would affect their gut.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in New Tecumseth is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $50 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 2,316 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in New Tecumseth. About 86% of New Tecumseth sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
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.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
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.
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 New Tecumseth 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.
