About: Hi, my name is Rebecca, and I absolutely love dogs! I’m the proud owner of two small pups—a lively Pomeranian and a sweet Chihuahua. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I truly enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s playing, walking, or just making sure they feel comfortable and loved. In addition to my love for dogs, I also have experience fostering cats, taking care of sick cats, and helping them find their forever homes. This experience has made me very attentive to animals’ needs and skilled in providing compassionate care. I'm excited to offer my love and dedication to other dogs in need of care and companionship. I am available during the day for dog walking and feeding. Whether your dog needs a walk while you're at work or a quick check-in for feeding and care, I’m here to help ensure they’re happy and well cared for. Feel free to reach out to discuss your schedule and specific needs! I treat every pet like my own, offering loving care and following any specific instructions you provide to meet their needs. With my experience in caring for both dogs and cats, you can rest assured that your pets are in reliable and compassionate hands, receiving all the attention they deserve in a safe and caring environment.
“Adrianna took excellent care of our cat while we were on vacation. She sent us updates and photos twice a day. We were very impressed with how clean and tidy she left everything. Our cat enjoyed her time with Adrianna immensely.”
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!

About: Hi there 🐾 I’m Meghna, a local dog lover and pet sitter who genuinely enjoys hanging out with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfy, and cared for while you’re away. A calm, home-style environment is provided with walks, attention, and care tailored to each dog’s routine. Usual schedules are followed so dogs can settle in easily and feel comfortable throughout the day. Each dog is looked after with patience and genuine care, based on their personality and what they need — whether that’s space, playtime, or extra cuddles. Can’t wait to meet them 🐶✨ Here for walks, stays, and everything in between. As a responsible pet caregiver, I prioritize their well-being in my daily routine. This includes regular feeding schedules, consistent exercise through walks or play, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. Additionally, I allocate time for training and mental stimulation to keep them engaged. Adapting my routine to their specific needs fosters a strong bond and ensures their happiness and health. I live in a townhome with my husband, and we both work from home, so your pet will have plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day.

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. We have 2 cats to give your cats company, also if your cats want to be alone we have enough space and levels in the house to keep them separated.
“Nikki was great with our cats, even our shy one got close to her and allowed a good few belly rubs which should tell you all you need to know. Nikki was very attentive taking care of their needs and playing with them to help them spend some energy. I highly reccommend her and will use her services again.”
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!
About: I’ve always found that I connect best with cats as they are such beautiful, independent, and warm creatures. With 5+ years of experience caring for them, I understand how to read their body language and respect their boundaries. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who loves intense playtime or a shy hider who just needs a quiet, calm human around to keep them company and respect their space, I am here for them. I will treat your furry family member with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I am a student who’s on summer break, available most of the week. I have a pretty flexible schedule so please let me know what time works for you. I’d place safety and trust as my top priorities. On the first visit, I’d like to learn your home's setup, know where the carrier and vet info are kept just in case, and find out where your cat likes to hide when they want some peace. I’m incredibly respectful of your privacy, clean up thoroughly after feeding and litter duty, and will always double-check that your locks and alarms are perfectly set before I leave. You can head out knowing everything at home is completely looked after.
About: I've owned and loved dogs since I was 10 and been the go-to person called upon for relatives, family and friends to walk, feed, dog-sit or simply play with any and all furry four-legged friends. They've provided me so much love and joy and I try to give that back to a human's best friend at every opportunity I can! I'm currently working from home and have a very flexible schedule to take your dog out for walks and make sure they're well looked after while you may be out during the days! After a meeting with you and your dog I can create a level of trust with the very good boy or girl and get a feel for what your needs and expectations are.
“Sydney was the absolute best! My cat can be difficult, but she managed her perfectly and was extremely communicative. The peace of mind I had on vacation knowing my cat was in good hands was invaluable. Sydney even left my little monster a cute gift, and me a beautiful card! Thank you so much, I'll definitely book with you again if/when the time comes ✨?”
“Angelika has been wonderful with Zoey. This was our first time working with her, and she made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring from the start. Zoey came home happy, which means everything to us. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Angelika gave her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind and reliable to care for their dog.”
“Mary was so lovely! I appreciated her flexibility with our meet and greet, the pictures she sent, her consistent timing, and her updates. I hope to get her in the future when we travel!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakville
The minute I met Melissa I knew she would be a great match for our boy - from the way she introduced herself to him to her detailed questions to be sure she had all of the information she needed. We felt completely secure that he would be well taken care of. Will 100% rebook!
We had Anna look after our pets for a few days as we had to be away. She arrived at the agreed upon times and was very conscientious keeping water bowls filled, litter cleaned and food containers well rinsed to keep odours down. She was very responsive when I contacted her and was happy to do a couple of small things like bring in packages off the step. This was our first experience with Anna and we'd be happy to have her take care of our pets again.

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.
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 .

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.
