“Tanya was absolutely amazing! We were away for a week, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was taking care of my three cats with as much love and attention as I do. One of my older babies, Bailey, struggles with constipation and usually won’t poop normally when I’m away due to stress. Sometimes we have to give her special medication to help her, and she can be fussy about taking it. Tanya handled the situation so well. I honestly don’t even know how to thank her enough. She gave her the necessary medication, monitored her closely to make sure she was pooping again, and even arrived earlier on some days just to ensure everything was okay with my kitties. I felt so relaxed knowing she was the one caring for them, and I was truly able to enjoy my vacation. She is incredible, and I will absolutely continue using her services going forward!”
“Kassandra is so wonderful! She has a natural connection with dogs and had made friends with another dog in my building before even starting her visit with my girl. I felt very comfortable leaving my girl with her and she prioritized my pet's comfort and wellbeing. Highly recommend Kassandra, especially to anyone with anxious/stressed dogs.”
About: I have been taking care of pets around my neighbourhood when they go away for a vacation, a short trip or just need me to pop in to check on them. I have looked after older cats with disability’s and also dogs aged 6 to senior ages. I love animals more then people so you know your furry friends will be taken care of like they are my own. I am currently working full time but would love to walk or check in on your pups while I’m home or have a day off. Anything that the owner needs I will accommodate. I have had clients in the past who’s pets needed medication at a certain time and there is no problem following these expectations.
About: I have owned a dog for five and a half years, crate trained my aunts puppy when she first got her, volunteered at the humane society which included fostering puppies, and have received my animal care certification from Sheridan College I am looking to make this a full time job, however I do have a part time job currently so my availability will depend on my work schedule. I have lots of energy to play with your dog(s). I can easily crate them if needed and have had my fair share of experience with shy/standoff-ish dogs so I have endless patience to gain their trust. Any rules/routines you have set will always be followed.
About: I have had the pleasure of raising 3 dogs: Lab-Great Dane, a Morkie and a Cockapoo! My childhood dog was a Bouvier! I have raised dogs from puppy to senior and understand the care that is required throughout the different stages in their lives! I currently have a flexible schedule and would be happy to discuss your needs and how we can make a working schedule that fits your life, and provides you with both balance and comfort. Pets are family and need to be treated as such. Your pet(s) comes first. Safety and security are of the utmost importance. While in my care, my focus is your dog(s).
About: I am a trusted and reliable pet sitter with experience caring for both cats and dogs, including training puppies and helping them learn good habits and routines. I have cared for family and friends’ pets by feeding, walking, playing with, and giving them lots of attention to keep them active, happy, and comfortable. I am very loving toward animals and always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and treated like family while their owners are away. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available every day, including weekends. Because of this, I have lots of time to dedicate to your pet and can provide them with plenty of attention, care, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my home, which includes a relatively large fenced-in backyard for dogs to play and stay active. I also have two small, very friendly dogs who love being around other animals and can help keep your fur baby company. If needed, I am also able to crate dogs and follow any routines or instructions provided by the owner. For cats, I previously had a cat living with my dogs, so they are comfortable being around cats as well. However, if preferred, I am more than happy to pet sit in your home instead. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I am always very respectful of their space and willing to learn all dietary needs, routines, boundaries, and any specific areas pets need to stay in or be kept out of to ensure they are safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life, I am very passionate about animals and proper animal care. I have two cats, and have experience with small animals such as rodents, rabbits, even scaled creatures such as lizards and snakes! I don’t have much experience with birds but I would love to take care of a bird one day :) I’m currently employed part time, but depending on the type of care needed, I will be able to work around my work schedule. Often I can do mornings. And on days off I can do anytime. I am not offering any boarding services at this time, out of my own home. For Drop in visits, I do whatever you need me to do. If the dog needs to be walked, let out side, and fed, I can do that. For cats, scooping litter, playing or spending time with them, and feeding according to your instructions. I have dogs and cats myself, so I am used to doing all these things.
About: I absolutely love staying active and spending time outdoors! I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about providing safe, fun, and enriching walks for every pup. 🐾💗 My schedule is very flexible! I currently supply teach approximately once a week and teach Pilates classes in the early mornings or evenings, leaving plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and attentive pet care. I love staying active and would be thrilled to make caring for your furry friends part of my daily routine! 🐾💗 My love for animals comes from spending time with pets like my nana’s cat, whom I absolutely adore! 🐾💗 I understand the importance of patience, gentle interactions, and making animals feel comfortable and loved. As an active Pilates instructor, I also enjoy being outdoors and staying on the move, making dog walking a perfect fit! I’m happy to help with daily walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleaning, and lots of affection, while following each pet’s individual routine and needs!
“Thank you Jessica for all your care and love you gave to all of our precious fur babies. Loved all the amazing pics and updates! They loved the treats! You are amazing! we love you and can't wait to see you again soon!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 3 years old. I know what they need, I’m loving and always home ready to play! I know what animals need to be cared for, but I’m also very social. I love to spend time, talk and play with dogs and cats alike. I work from home so I am always home. I don’t travel on weekends and my husband has always been a cat person, also works from home and will happily help too! I have many dog treats, toys and a fenced backyard. I live in a safe area, and my house is very spacious.

About: Looking for someone to help with your pups? You've came to the right place! With 7+ years of constant dog experience and love, please message me to get the best pet care services you can! I spend most of my day with my dog, making sure he has great nutrition and playtime. I currently spend most of my day working with probiotics that are good for animals, considering all I do professionally is animal care. I make sure absolutely EVERYTHING is looked after more than once before doing. I make sure to check in with the clients I serve multiple times with any questions I might have.
About: I've grown up in a very animal lover family. I practically had different pets my whole life. We've owned a Yorkie, Shih Tzu, Jack Russell, Boxer, Pitbull, and a Cockapoo. After our last family dog, we started to foster dogs in 2019. We loved getting rescue dogs prepared for their forever home! My family and I believed taking care of dogs was some sort of calling for us. It not only helped to fill the void of our recent dog but also something good to do for her as she was also a rescue dog we adopted. I have recently moved out of my family home to live with my fiancé and that is when I started my Rover journey. I been on Rover for over 3 years now and I must say I LOVE this job. Not only have I meet amazing people and pets, but I enjoy what I do. Please don’t hesitate to reach out 💗 I currently work part-time so I have a lot of open availability, my work is also able to be flexible with hours. I only need 8 hour minium notice I care for pets by talking to their owners about their pets needs (you know your pet best), following any dietary restrictions, keeping the pet entertained, lots of cuddles and play time! I understand the key to keeping a pet healthy and happy is by taking care of them emotionally, physically and psychologically.
“This was our first time using the service and we had an amazing experience.Ife was amazing with our 2 Rotti’s. He handles himself with professionalism,care and confidence and was so respectful of our home and requests. He went over and above! Would highly recommend!”
“Caitlin was an excellent cat sitter to Ozzy and Luna. She took great care of them with daily pictures and check ins to let me know what was going on. The cats both enjoyed her care and were in great spirits when I got home. I would definitely hire her again to take care of my kitties!”
About: 1. I trained my own doggie. And he had a very good behaviour. And my training method is not violent, I use food and treat them when they doing the things right. 2. I am patient with all kinds of dog. 3. Experienced in all kinds of situations I work from home, so I am pretty flexible in schedule. And also, please make sure 2 day in advance. So that I could plan and interview the dog. I lived in a house with fenced and dog park round. I could live in clients house or either my house. No need to worried.
“Jayne helped us out very last minute on Christmas Day to go check on our cat while we were snowed in up North. We were able to chat back and forth while she was there and I was happy to know my cat was getting some attention and care. Definitely happy with Jayne’s pet services :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Tecumseth is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 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 2,468 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.
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 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.
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.
