About: I am a long-time pet lover and owner! I've had large and small dogs along with cats over my life. I had a large dog (Rottweiler 98lbs) with aggression issues, so I'm not put off by a little attitude from your pet. Every animal has its own personality just like humans. I am certified in Canine First Aid and have Dog Behaviour (basic), Dog to Dog Aggression, Canine Separation Anxiety, Daycare & Group Play Assessment and Dog Walking Certification course training. I lost my pet recently from cancer and am not ready to readopt yet. I promise I will love and care for your pet as my own. I promise to be very respectful and tidy while in/around your home. I feel that communication is very important while pet parents are away, so I like to give updates and photos of our adventures. I am Oakville born and raised. I went to St.Mildred's & OTHS then studied at George Brown College. I live in Old Oakville. I am an activist on animal rights and do what I can to help ALL animals. You may find me at a protest or rally fighting for the rights of all animals on the weekends. I am very close with my family so don't be surprised if you see my folks at the house hanging out. I grew up in an animal house and my folks love animals also but don't have any pets right now either. I would love a chance to meet you and your pet family! I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you :) I am a pet sitting Professional!! That's what I do!! I take care and love your pet like it was my own. I prefer to keep the dogs with me during the day if I can and they usually love the little adventures. I also have a car so we can go to a mix of parks. I live at a house with my parents with nice little yard and a park right out front. This makes it easy for quick walk and lots of good smell to keep the dog cognitive arousal fulfilled. There is an abundance of parks around me.
“Paige was great from beginning to end. She was consistent, kept me up to date and took lots of pictures. When she first met Maverick, she got down to his level, spoke to him, and immediately bonded with him. I would strongly recommend her for pet sitting needs!”
“Guangxu was a pleasure to have as a pet sitter for the two weeks I was away on vacation. He is very attentive, friendly and easy to talk to. He went above and beyond for my cat, always taking the best care of him while providing extra updates and pictures/videos. Thank you!”
“It was such a delight to have Emma as our cat sitter! She was super sweet, sent timely updates and a whole lot of cute pics, and was easy and accommodating! Thank you so so much for your help with our Etta 😁”
“Ryan was great with drop in visits for Briggs who is recovering from surgery. He accommodated a last minute meet and greet before the booking. Friendly and reliable. It was a relief to know Briggs was well looked after.”
“Absolute peace of mind! I couldn't be happier with the care my cat received, and knowing someone so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring was dropping in made all the difference. They followed all instructions perfectly, kept me updated, and made sure everything was clean, fed, and happy. It is incredibly rare to find someone who treats your pet with the exact same love and attention that you do. If you are looking for someone completely trustworthy and dependable to care for your fur baby, look no further, as I will absolutely be booking again!”
“Meghan was very clean and organized. I loved that she followed all instructions well and I didn't have to follow up too much. Thank you so much for taking care of my cats. I will definitely book her again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15. Whether it be my grandmas, our families or friends, I have been responsible to walk, feed and bathe them for years. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to take breaks during work hours to walk your pups or as well as in the early morning or evening. Establishing trust between myself and the dog is the most important. Firstly, I stay calm and allow for some time and space to reassure them I’m not threatening and establish familiarity. I provide regular check-ins for ease of mind and work to establish a regular routine for the animals in my care. I am passionate about animal care and find it sincerely therapeutic.
“Melanie is awesome! This was our first time having a cat sitter and she made everything easy for us by providing updates after each visit. She truly cares about the four legged family members!”
“Leaving your pets in the care of someone you don’t know can be stressful but Macy made it easy! We appreciated the great communication, daily updates and photos, and how friendly she was. We will definitely book with her in the future.”
“Kristina is wonderful! She looked after our cat Rosie like she was her own. Kristina provided a thorough summary and photos of every visit so we were assured that all was well at home while we were away. I would highly recommend Kristina for all of your pet care needs. We will definitely be engaging her again in the future. Thank you Kristina!!”
“Adrianna was wonderful with my cat Link! She sent plenty of photos and provided detailed updates with each visit, and I could tell he was so content and relaxed with her around. I was able to enjoy our trip knowing he was well cared for, and I would love to book with her again!”

I’m very active and have always had fur companions to take on my many walks a day! I always ensure a safe and doggy-proofed house environment.

About: Hi, I’m Mo! Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and nothing makes me happier than making pets feel safe, loved, and at home. With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs for family, friends, and referrals, along with 5 years of professional experience in dog daycare and dog walking, I bring both knowledge and heart to everything I do. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to senior pups who need a little extra patience and care. Whether it’s a fun, active walk or a calm, comforting visit, your pet will be loved, safe, and well cared for every step of the way. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine and something I’ve intentionally made time for. I’ve recently come off maternity leave and decided to step away from my corporate role to return to working with dogs, a true passion of mine, while having a more flexible schedule. I’m available weekdays, Monday to Friday, with plenty of time and attention to dedicate to each pet in my care. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. In my home, I create a calm, cozy space where pets can feel relaxed and at ease. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine and personality so their stay feels as close to home as possible. They’ll get lots of attention, and supervision throughout the day, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out and relaxing. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet will truly be treated like part of the family!

Guangxu and Shirley, Were very good and followed all the instructions for jasmines care and food and they came on time. They were constantly in touch when required and also provided us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. Which was very assuring. They were responsive to all questions I had and were very prompt.i would definitely call them again for Jasmine
Thank you Ryan for looking after S’mores so well. We appreciate your updates and photos and look forward to them almost as much as S'mores looks forward to his food and daily brushing! Going away knowing our kitty is well taken care off is very much appreciated. Thank you!!
Karling dropped in a few times to take care of my bunny Parsley while I was gone for the weekend. She was super responsive to messages and really attentive to any specific care instructions i left for her. I felt so at ease leaving Parsley in her care, and looking at the photos and report cards Parsley seemed to be quite happy too! Thank you so much Karling, from the both of us! 🐰

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
