“Lorin was so amazing and no doubt I will be booking her again. We have a high energy, anxiety filled frenchie who is reactive on a leash with dogs and i've been soooo hesitant to leave her with a sitter but Lorin was the best decision I made. She gave me frequent updates and photos of Stevie and always kept me in the loop of what was going on. She was extremely organized and put my stress at peace when leaving Stevie alone in the house. Thank you Lorin!!!!”
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 ! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel at home. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment, and I take time to build trust at each pet’s own pace. 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’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.
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.

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 for Pet Sitting in Oakville on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 7,068 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.
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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
