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. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work four days a week and I’m able to check on your animals anytime after 5 PM (Monday-Thursday).

About: I’ve had dogs since I was five years old and truly can’t remember a time when dogs weren’t part of my life! I also helped my mom with her in-home dog boarding service, which has given me experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from puppies under a year old and dogs who aren’t crate trained to seniors who need extra hands-on care. I have experience giving medications, helping senior dogs up and down stairs or furniture, and using a wagon when walks are no longer comfortable. I’ve also cared for reactive dogs and understand the importance of patience, boundaries, and following each dog’s individual routine. We’re huge animal lovers in our home, and pets are treated like part of the family. Dogs are welcome to get comfortable, roam freely, play, relax, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I’m very comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities and want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and at home. I am a student with an flexible schedule, who is open most weekdays during the day to come and check in on your furry friends, walk them, take them to the park, etc. When I have pets in the home, they are the priority always. My day is scheduled around taking them out, play time, walks and treats. If I have to step out, I like to leave the TV on for them to feel calm. I enjoy taking dogs with me to the park, the Pet Store, or even other dog friendly stores like Canadian Tire/Home Depot. Pets are curious and should explore all day! At home, we treat all pets like our own allowing them to roam and as they please and hang in our fenced yard. At your home, I would follow any and all rules you implement, and ensure that I am constantly changing water, taking our furry friends outside, and keeping them entertained with toys and games.

“I was skeptical using Rover. Interviewed a few sitters and I instantly connected with Nikki. I could see how gentle she was around Thor. I could tell she was experienced with animals and she has two cats also.Nikki also came back to my house once more so I could show her exactly where everything was before going on my trip. Well I just got back from my trip being away for a week. Nikki was responsible and on time every day. The house was clean. She spent over an hr playing with Thor in the morning and at night. I would highly recommend Nikki. if your looking for a pet sitter. Nikki is wonderful and just lovely💕 🫶 💕”

About: Growing up in Turkey, I've been around stray cats and dogs all my life. It was always a joyful part of my daily routine to bring food and water out for them and getting to know all their little mannerisms. I've never had a pet of my own because I've always lived in small or shared apartments but I've been taking care of my friends' pets for almost a decade. I would love for your pet to be next! I've recently graduated, moved to Oakville and am working freelance so I get to manage my own schedule. I think dog walking and/or pet sitting will be a good opportunity for me to get to know the community and become more familiar with this town. I am very adaptable and detail oriented. I will make sure your pet is always safe and happy under my care. If you have any special requests for your pet's experience, trust that they will be taken care of.

About: Hello there! My name is Emma, and I would love to care for your pet. I’m a responsible and attentive pet sitter who genuinely treats every pet like my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand that every pet has different needs. I’m especially attentive to keeping pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal schedule while their owners are away. I’m active and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention and exercise. I’m also comfortable providing extra care and patience for puppies, senior dogs, and pets who may need a little more attention or reassurance. I'm currently in school from Monday to Wednesday and completely free the rest of the week. So I have plenty of time to play with your pups. Additionally, my classes are flexible during those days, so I can be available for certain periods of time then as well! I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure I follow their individual routine and their owner’s instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and lots of affection. I’m also attentive to their behaviour and comfort so I can recognize when something seems unusual or when they need extra care. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I’m happy to accommodate different personalities, energy levels, feeding schedules, medications, and other specific needs. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while their owner is away.
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 babysitting for 2 families a couple hours at a time, so taking care of dogs, walking or popping in would be perfect for in between and to get some more hours for me! 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!

I also work online some days, so I may be able to pet sit during weekdays! As I have pet sat in the past, I am quite accustomed to pet sitting at others’ homes. I will be happy to feed them, play with them, walk them and more, the sky is the limit! Others haven’t hesitated to hire me due to my responsible and trustworthy nature, as well as my passion for animals.

About: My partner and I have hands-on experience raising one kitten and one puppy from 6 weeks old—covering weaning, socialization, potty training, and round-the-clock care in those early weeks. I later cared for my own cat for 1.5 years (full daily care and vet visits) before rehoming due to allergies, and now raise a happy cockapoo at home. With both of us working from home full-time (software engineer + data scientist), your pet will receive constant attention, play, and love in a safe, pet-friendly environment. My partner and I both work from home full time. And mostly free on weekends as well, so one or both of us are always available to take care of your pet. For drop ins, we prefer 6-10pm on weekdays and 12-10pm on weekends. We live in a three storied townhouse with a fenced yard and one friendly cockapoo to keep your pet company and offer frequent potty breaks. We also work from home full time so rest assured someone will almost always be at home with your pet. We prefer crating dogs when we’re are out to avoid harm to both our pets and our home.
About: I had been living with and taking care of cats since I was 6 years old. I am absolutely a cat lover and couldn’t imagine life without cats being around. I am currently a parent of two cats, one male and one female who are both neutered. I had experiences taking care of new born kittens as well as helping neighbours and friends taking care of their cats and have them staying at my house when they are on vacations. I have a big clean house with fenced yard and finished basement located in a nice neighbourhood in Oakville. If I am lucky to have your precious cats staying with us in my house, they can play with my cats or stay alone whatever they want. I will make sure to provide them everyday clean filtered water to drink, dry and canned food to eat, dust-free litter to use, and toys and cat trees to play with, and of course my love :) We always have somebody at home so very flexible to do home stays for cats. We have 2 cats and one child currently go to school which proves we are responsible and reliable people. I live in a nice clean and big house with fenced yard and finished basement located in Oakville.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Oakville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Oakville 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.

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 dog, 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.
