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). 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.
“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.”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. Me and my biologist cousin used to rescue dogs and cats that lived around our camp house back in my hometown. I am a really active person and love going for runs and hikes. My best friends for this have been dogs that want to get their energy out as much as I do. I believe all pets are different and appreciate owner communication to get to know your pet better! Excited to meet you! I’m currently a full-time teacher so my weekday schedule goes until 4pm. However I will go into summer vacation soon along with my student so I’ll have much more availability during that time. For now, weekends are my to go but any late afternoon weekday visits are welcome. I love having a detailed description of the pets I’m going to take care of beforehand. Are they afraid of something specific? Do they have dietary restrictions? Do they have any medical conditions? I carry my own equipment for walking and giving dogs a drink (I appreciate if they have favourite treats we can bring along for long walks!)

About: I’ve been caring for cats, and dog for over 18 years and truly understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine.. I have always had pets my entire life ... Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, play with, groom, administer basic medications, clean litter boxes, take them for walk and provide companionship while they’re away. I treat every pet like a member of my own family, giving them patience, affection, and the individual attention they deserve. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I work from home during weekdays, and I am available for pet care in throughout the day, on weekends, and during holidays. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give every pet the time and attention they deserve. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and provide regular updates with photos, so you can feel confident your pet is in caring hands I have fenced home and a cat to give your family member company !

Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, you can expect dependable communication, lots of affection, and respectful, attentive care from start to finis
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!
“Ruiyan is great! We have used her services so many times to check in on our cats while we’re away and she is always on time, responds quickly, sends the best photos, and has even accepted last minute bookings. I can tell from the photos that the cats love her. Highly recommend Ruiyan! 🐱”
About: I took great care of my girl who lived to 16! Been missing her and our daily walks. I used to walk neighbourhood dogs and cat-sit for some friends of mine. I’m looking to care for your pets through walks, house visits or sitting! I am currently working part-time, mostly nights, preparing to start my masters in psychotherapy :) I have a lot of availability during the day, if you need someone to walk your dog/care for your cats throughout the day. Message me for any specific days/times you may need and we can work something out :) I can ensure your dogs/cats safety through frequent check-in’s, sending photos of how your pet is doing! I currently do not have any animals at my house, as my pup passed in February, we can work out details on how you’d want to ensure trust between you, me and your pet!
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!
“Brianna went above and beyond for myself & especially my cat, Ashes. All of the detailed updates she provided me the and attention she gave him are very much appreciated. An easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
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.
About: I've raised two puppies and two kittens. I currently have a beagle and two cats at home that all get along. I make my pets a priority in my home and would love more company for them! I work from home so I am able to offer walking, drop ins and boarding in my home! Anything that fits your needs I can help. I have a fenced in yard and I have a dog crate if needed for boarding. I can keep my cats separate also if your dog does prefer that.
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: Spending time with my Rover pups is truly the highlight of my week! 🐾 I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and I absolutely love them all. Outside of being a third grade teacher, I'm a dedicated dog lover and also volunteer at the Humane Society. Feel free to reach out with what you're looking for & I’ll get back to you as soon as I can! As a teacher, I have extra time during the summer, weekends, holidays, and after school to spend time with your pup! My schedule outside of regular school hours is flexible. As a fellow dog owner (and Rover user!), I understand how important it is to know your pup is in good hands while you're away. Whether they need a quick potty break and some playtime or a longer walk or hike, I’d love to keep them company! Heading out of town? While I’m not currently offering full-day house sitting, I’m happy to provide multiple visits throughout the day (morning, afternoon, and evening) to make sure your pup stays well-exercised, fed, and happy while you're gone.

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakville
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.

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.
