“Jenn was a wonderful pet sitter, and I highly recommend her. She is kind, professional, attentive, and genuinely loves animals—you can tell she really gets them. She kept us updated every day with photos and messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We were able to truly enjoy our holiday knowing our home and our girls were in such caring hands. We came home to a clean home and two happy, relaxed cats. Jenn clearly took the time to understand their needs and cared for them as if they were her own. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Jenn again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girls!”

“I can't recommend Elizabeth enough!She comes to my place to spend time with my cat and truly understands his needs while I'm away. Elizabeth goes above and beyond, showing genuine love and care for animals. She is always punctual, and my cat absolutely adores her.

“Leanne was an exceptional house sitter and cat sitter, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. From the moment she started, she kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She made sure Nova was comfortable, cared for, and well looked after, and it was clear that she genuinely took the time to earn Nova's trust and build a bond with her. Her patience and kindness really stood out. She also took excellent care of our home, treating it with the same respect and attention that she gave to Nova. Coming home to a happy cat and a well-maintained house was incredibly reassuring. I highly recommend Leanne to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and patient house sitter or cat sitter. She truly goes above and beyond, and I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

About: I genuinely love animals and would be happy to give your dog plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care. I previously worked at an animal shelter in the education sector, where I spent time around and worked with many different types of animals. I currently work as a respite and skill builder supporting adults with special needs, so I’m very comfortable being responsible, attentive, and respectful in people’s homes. I also have plenty of experience with dogs in everyday life. I currently live with my roommate’s dog, have lived with dogs with previous roommates, and have helped care for friends’ and family members’ pets and homes while they were away. I’m also an experienced traveler and have used TrustedHousesitters myself, caring for people’s pets while staying in their homes. I’ve also stayed in 25 five-star Airbnb homes while traveling, which has taught me to be exceptionally clean, considerate, and respectful of other people’s spaces. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, companionship, a consistent routine, or simply someone dependable around while you’re away, I’d love to help. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because my schedule is flexible. I work as a respite worker, with my most consistent hours generally being from 3–7 p.m., so I’m usually available during the mornings and earlier parts of the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and spending time with pets. I also work as a singer, but those jobs are usually one-off bookings that I know about in advance. I have a few regular commitments, including Thursday evenings and some Sunday mornings, but otherwise my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility. Because I work with clients in their homes, I’m already comfortable building my day around someone else’s needs and routines. I’m responsible about keeping track of my commitments and would always make sure I have plenty of time and availability to give your pet the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, favorite activities, and any specific instructions you leave for me. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, meals, fresh water, companionship, and whatever other care your pet needs. Because I work with clients in their homes, I’m already comfortable building my day around someone else’s needs and routines. I’m respectful of people’s homes and understand the importance of keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. I’m responsible about keeping track of my commitments and would always make sure I have plenty of time and availability to give your pet the attention and care they need.

About: I have been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life and have always considered them part of the family. I would love to use my experience and passion for animals to help families who are short on time, travelling, or simply need some extra support with their pets. I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medications and injections to sick or injured pets belonging to family and friends. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and dependable caring for your pets. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive, and I will treat your pet with the same love, care, and attention I would give my own.

Full availability Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I’m also able to stay at your home if preferred. I will provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I will follow each pet’s routine as requested and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I’m also comfortable providing medication and injections when needed and will keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family—with patience, love, and lots of care.
“As always Nikki is so reliable and loves Thor. Thor also loves Nikki. I am so at peace when I go away on holidays.I trust Nikki. She plays with Thor, changes kitty litter, feeds him and comes on time. Thanks Nikki 🤗”
“I can’t thank Dicle enough for taking such wonderful care of Momo while I was away! 💗 She sent frequent updates, pictures, and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind. What truly set her apart was how attentive and caring she was when Momo went through a temporary rough patch and refused to eat or drink. Dicle handled it with so much patience, kindness, and kept a close eye on her, until Momo was comfortable again. It’s not easy leaving your pet in someone else’s care, but Dicle made the experience so much easier. Thank you for treating Momo with so much love and care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! 🐾💕”
About: I have grown up with dogs and now have a 7 year old Golden Retriever. I used to work at Rens Pet Depot for 5 years and have some knowledge about different breeds. I love all breeds (especially the big babies). My retriever is raw fed so I am completely comfortable feeding your dog raw food, fresh food, or kibble! I am currently substitute teaching so I am unsure of my exact schedule until the day of, so “after school hours” would be best for me for pop in visits or walks, or you can message me morning of if you are in need for in the middle of the day! Having worked in a pet supply store I have a few tricks that I have learned and can help do slight training and can work with whichever way works best for you! Especially with potty training if needed. My Golden Retriever uses a gentle leader to help their pulling, so I am completely comfortable using those! Only thing I have not used is a prong collar. I’m willing to learn new ways and am flexible to do what works for you are your dogs! I also do give a lot of attention, pets and cuddles to my guys so there is a big chance your dogs will get extra loving too!
“Paerhati was superrr amazing! From start to finish all interactions were easy and consistent. She was able to watch my cat for 5 nights last minute and sent me daily updates. You can tell she loves animals and she’s very friendly! I’m very careful with who I leave my cat with and she’s been the best so far. I appreciate her having a spare room for him to get accustomed to her house slowly and she keeps her home very clean and organized which I also appreciate when leaving him with someone. HIGHLYYY recommend her to anyone!”
“Both of my cats had a wonderful time and were clearly so comfortable and well cared for. Naeema was an excellent communicator throughout, keeping me updated and always checking in. She also went above and beyond helping with packing and unpacking, which made the whole process so much easier and put me at ease. So grateful for her care and support!”
“Madeline made me feel very calm and ensured that my gracie was being well taken care off. She was able to reduce my anxiety of being away from my cat. She was an amazing sitter and will definitely book again!”
“Ala was wonderful in caring and watching over my cat for a week! She gave continous updates and made sure I was in the loop for everything from changes in her eating habits to her mood! I will definitely be returning to Ala in the future when need be.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own Italian Greyhound who is now 2 years old, as well as helping care for my sister’s dog. Through this, I’ve built a strong understanding of daily pet care routines such as feeding, playtime, and maintaining a consistent schedule. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I’m especially mindful of smaller and more sensitive breeds like Italian Greyhounds, who require gentle handling and extra care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow owners’ instructions closely. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment so both pets and owners feel at ease. I’m currently working a full-time job, but I’m available during the following times: mornings from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM (Sunday to Thursday), all day on Fridays, and from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturdays.

I have personal experience caring for dogs, including my own Italian Greyhound who is currently staying with my sister in China. Through this, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to care for pets with patience, attention, and love. In both my home and a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and clean environment. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and get enough exercise and playtime based on their energy level and routine. I also pay close attention to their behavior and body language to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I’m gentle and attentive when interacting with pets, and I understand the importance of building trust—especially with animals who may feel anxious when their owners are away. I’m also respectful of each pet’s unique personality and any specific instructions provided by the owner, including dietary needs, walking routines, and medication if required. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, cared for, and as relaxed as possible, just like they would be with their own family.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oakville
Julia is AMAZING!! She's very kind with a lovely disposition. She came by twice a day to feed my grumpy old lady cat for the past 5 days, do the litter boxes and water. She took sweet pictures of my cat and checked in with lots of info and detail. I even confused her a bit with my return timing and she rushed over to help with the last visit. Very happy with her and will ask her to babysit my cat again! My cat was definitely in good hands!
Finding the right person to look after your beloved pets when you haven't been able to take a vacation in seven years is no small thing. Because our aging parents needed us close to home, we simply couldn't travel for a long time, so leaving our sweet cats, Maggie and Maisie, felt like a huge leap of faith. Kristina put every single one of our worries to rest from the very start. The handoff was wonderfully smooth, and her regular updates gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, Maggie and Maisie absolutely adored her! It was pure smooth sailing from start to finish. We are so grateful for her loving care and attention. We give Kristina the highest possible recommendation and wouldn't hesitate for a second to book her again!
This is our second time having Melanie watch our two cats and she has been great both times! The first time was 2 years ago, and rebooking was very smooth despite there being a large gap in services. Communication and pictures put me at ease knowing they were well taken care of
Nadia was wonderful! I loved getting all the photos and seeing that Waffles was well taken care of. She played with him a lot and he even let her give him belly rubs. I really hope Nadia is available next time we go away! she made it really easy to not worry about our little guy knowing he was in such good hands
This was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving my cat in our own home instead of taking her to a family member's. I am so grateful that Alicia was available to look after my cat, as she was incredibly kind and helpful! My cat is not aggressive by any means, but as a Calico, she's not the friendliest and Alicia was so patient with her. I really felt like I could trust Alicia and with her open communication, I really felt reassured. I highly recommend Alicia to anyone looking!
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!!
