“We knew from the moment we met Jenn that she’d be a great dog sitter. She is very qualified and totally at ease with our giant puppy. Gracie took to her immediately. I would not hesitate to have Jenn back again.”
“Meghan was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Reggie and gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while I was away. It’s clear Meghan genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my girl. I would absolutely recommend Meghan to anyone looking for a kind, caring and trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much, Meghan! ❤️🐾”
“This was Lorin’s second time doing drop-in-visits with my two kittens. I really appreciate Lorin’s communication and dependability. We once again came home to two happy kittens!”
“Leaving your pets in the care of someone you don’t know can be stressful but Macy made it easy! We appreciated the great communication, daily updates and photos, and how friendly she was. We will definitely book with her in the future.”
“Lihue and Haoshu were wonderful with our cat Jazz! They sent daily updates with photos and videos, kept everything spotless (litter box, food, water fountain), and were so caring and communicative during our two-week trip. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Ryan was super! It was obvious that he takes his responsibility seriously in regards to pet care. He arrived at the appointed time and adapted to any wrinkles in the care. We got detailed reports after every visit and, most importantly, our pets loved him. Friendly and professional, I hold Ryan up as the new gold standard on Rover.”
About: I’ve always cared for dogs doesn’t matter the kind or size for years. Walking, feeding, and playing with them daily. I truly love animals and treat them like part of my family. I’ve also trained multiple dogs of my own and would love to help out with walks whenever needed! I’m currently working part-time and in the process of getting my Real Estate License. With that being said, I have a very flexible schedule and I would love to spend my free time with some doggy friends! I always follow each pets routine closely, keeping the environment clean and safe, as well as never leaving them unattended. I respect client homes, lock up securely, and as always, give regular updates.
“Jasmina was very attentive to the needs of our two cats and always kept us updated with photos and messages about their wellbeing. She went above and beyond, and kept her commitment to us even though she wasn’t feeling particularly well during the time she looked after our cats, which was appreciated by us. Well done and would definitely hire Jasmina again!”
“Amazing experience, first time ever we tried dog walker/ sitter and my dog felt very comfortable with her , she kept me upto date with my dog’s photos and status 10/10”
“Lindsay was amazing! She was reliable, punctual and very experienced with looking after 2 big dogs at once. We were so pleased she could look after our dogs so well, they were definitely happy in her care. We look forward to having Lindsay again soon!”

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. We also have a very friendly dog who’s well-socialized and used to being around other pets. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure your furry baby feels right at home. (My dog says hi! 🐾)

Pet 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!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oakville is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $40 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 7,189 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Oakville. About 86% 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.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
