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 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!

I will send you photos and updates of your pets as much as you desire! I love going on hikes with dogs and spending time playing and learning with them. I genuinely adore pets and love taking care of them. I am currently an Occasional Teacher (summer break), so my work hours are fairly flexible and accommodating for caring for your furry friends. Most schools days start around 8am and end around 3pm, with a lunch break that I can use to let pets out if needed during the day.

I really genuinely could spend all my time with dogs, so I promise you your dog(s) will get all the love and spoiling they deserve. I have lots of walking trails around my house, but also can walk wherever is accessible and don’t mind driving with or to your dog(s). I strive to keep pets schedules as familiar as possible and provide them with lots of exercise and love.
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: Your pup gets the best of both worlds! 🐾 I’m a veterinary technician and hospital manager, so I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to sweet seniors and dogs who need a little extra TLC. My husband is a full-time dog walker, so there’s always someone around for walks, cuddles, playtime, and little adventures! ✨ We love making dogs feel like part of the family — whether that means zoomies in the yard, a cozy cuddle session, or being their personal treat-tasting assistant. 🐶💕 Our goal? Happy pups, wagging tails, tired-out toes, and a dog who’s already wondering when they get to come back! 🐾 🐾 Pets are part of our everyday life! My husband is home regularly, so your pup or kitty gets plenty of company, attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Caring for animals is second nature to us. Between walks, cuddles, playtime, and relaxing together, we make sure your pet gets the love and care they deserve. We want every pet to feel like part of the family — not just a place to stay, but a true home away from home! ❤️🐶🐱 🐾 A safe, cozy home with plenty to explore! We’re on the first floor of our apartment, making quick potty breaks and outdoor time super easy. We’re also right near a beautiful ravine, so there are lots of walks, sniffing, exploring, and adventures waiting just outside our door! 🌿🐶 Inside, pets are treated like family and get plenty of love, attention, and supervision. We keep things calm, clean, and comfortable while making sure every pet feels safe and gets to enjoy their stay at their own pace. ❤️🐾
About: Traveling should feel exciting, not stressful, and knowing your "kid" is safe, happy, and having fun makes all the difference. That peace of mind is exactly what I want to give you. I'm based in Oakville, with a fully fenced backyard that gives pets a safe, secure space to explore, play, and enjoy some fresh air without any escape risk. I'm a true animal lover who treats every pet with the same love and respect I'd want for my own. I know your pets aren't "just animals", they're family. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to step in while you're away, that's exactly what I offer. What sets me apart is patience and attentiveness. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs, whether that's a playful kitten, a senior cat who needs a gentler touch, or a nervous rescue who just needs quiet reassurance. Each visit lasts about 30–40 minutes, tailored to your pet's needs that day: fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, and plenty of play and cuddle time. I can't wait to meet your kids! Pet care is a real priority in my routine. I set aside dedicated time blocks each day for visits, so your cat gets consistent, reliable care at times that work for both of us. I'm flexible with morning, afternoon, and evening visits, including weekends. Your home and your pet's routine are treated with respect. I follow your instructions closely (feeding schedule, litter habits, hiding spots, medication if needed), and I'm careful about doors and windows. If care happens at my place, my fully fenced backyard means pets can safely enjoy outdoor time under supervision, with no risk of wandering off. I always send updates/photos so you can see for yourself that everything is calm and under control.
“Once again Sarah was amazing with Mulan. She is so patient with her and spoils her with treats (which I love!). The updates, including photos and videos are great! I know that Mu is getting the best care and all the love possible with Sarah!”

About: Hi, I’m Vivian! I’m a compassionate and active pet lover excited to care for your furry or small family members. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and small animals. Whether your pet enjoys relaxing strolls or energetic runs, I’ll match their pace and personality, making each walk or visit enjoyable and safe. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trust. I have a 7-year-old rabbit and helped care for my family dog for 12 years, so I’m experienced with a variety of temperaments and needs. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and help keep them happy, healthy, and active. I can’t wait to meet them! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I am not working at the moment and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to each pet without feeling rushed. I am available throughout the day from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM on weekdays, which makes it easy for me to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening walks and drop-in visits. Caring for my own rabbit is already part of my daily routine, so providing attentive, consistent care for other pets fits seamlessly into my schedule. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet. At your home, I follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure doors, gates, and hazards are secure so pets feel safe. For walks, I will use the leash, harness, or collar you provide and stay attentive to your pet and the surroundings. I supervise interactions with other pets closely and provide updates and photos whenever possible so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in puppy training and gentle senior care, including medication administration. I love long walks and tailor each day to your dog's energy, routine, and comfort, so they feel safe and happy while you're away. I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to do boarding during the weekdays and weekends! I am also an early riser, so morning walks are my favourite. Walks- 2 dogs at a time at most as long as their temperament and energy match. Boarding- 1 dog per stay to ensure they feel safe and comfortable with no other stressors from being away from home.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. Growing up with five family dogs, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience providing love, exercise, and daily care. While attending university, my roommates and I rescued a senior stray cat and ensured he received the veterinary care and loving home he needed. My best friend and I also adopted a rescue dog with behavioural challenges, and through patience, consistency, and understanding, we helped him build trust and significantly improve his behaviour. I currently help care for our two family poodles and my boyfriend’s cat. With over 20 years of experience caring for animals of different ages, personalities, and needs, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own! I work full-time Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with every other Friday off. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting outside of my regular working hours, including evenings, weekends, and my scheduled Fridays off. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and am happy to coordinate care around your pet’s routine. For house sitting, I can provide overnight companionship and care while maintaining my regular work schedule. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs to make sure we’re a great fit! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! Having grown up caring for animals and currently sharing responsibility for two family poodles, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I provide care in your pet’s familiar home environment, following their usual feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual personality, comfort level, and needs, and always approach pets with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. I also respect your home and will treat both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I had a dog most of my childhood, have been a dog sitter/walker and a couple of years ago, my brother moved in with his dog. Rose is strong and willful but now we walk with a "loose lease" usually, unless there's a squirrel!! 🐿 I'm currently not working a structured schedule while I complete my first novel. I am very flexible and can walk or care for animals morning, noon and night! I have tons of experience pet sitting and am very respectful when staying in someone else's home. I have great reviews on AirBNB that demonstrates that. I WFH as a writer, so your pets wouldn't be alone much unless I go to the gym. 🏋♀️🚣♀️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Oakville is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $41 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 6,741 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Oakville. About 87% of Oakville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
