Highly recommend Andrea! We left our 14 year old Cockapoo for a week to attend a family wedding in Portugal. As this was the first time we had ever left her with a non-family member, we were apprehensive. We had three practice sessions before the week away. I felt confident leaving our dog in her care, in our home. While we were away Andrea sent us pictures and let us know how everything was going. She is very honest and seems to understand what a dog needs. If we have another opportunity to go away I will definitely call Andrea.

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals of all kinds, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities and quirks. My own dog is a certified Therapy Dog, so I’ve put time into learning how to understand and work with dogs—not just love them. I’ve completed dog training with my own pup, including a course focused specifically on dog behaviour. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’ll take the time to get to know yours, follow your instructions, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Basically, I’m here because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—and getting paid to be around animals is a pretty great arrangement. 🩷 I’m happiest when life is a mix of staying busy and having some time to slow down. I’m easygoing, responsible, and genuinely enjoy the company of animals. I’m excited to use some of my extra time to do something I love while helping out other pet owners when they need an extra hand. I will take the time to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, medication, house rules, and any specific needs or preferences their pet may have. I understand that every animal is different, so I let them set the pace and give them time to become comfortable with me. I’m attentive to their behaviour and wellbeing, and I’ll keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and safe while they’re away. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always make sure everything is left clean, secure, and just as I found it\.

I had the great pleasure of having Laura stay and look after my two dogs over this past weekend. It was my first time using Rover.com and Laura. She was everything any pet owner could hope for. She was friendly, engaging, totally immersed in the well-being of my dogs and she had a natural warmth that resonated with my dogs. She made me comfortable to be away from home and I quickly developed my trust in her. She took the dogs out for walks and runs frequently and ensured that they had full and active days in my absence. She also kindly shared videos and pics with me frequently so I could see what the pups were up to at home. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a great person to care for their pets and home while they are away. The pups and I very much look forward to having Laura back again soon and on a regular basis.

Vanessa stayed in our home and took great care of our husky-mix. Our pup was relaxed and clearly without a care when we arrived home, and can be an anxious guy. Our house was just as we left it, and Vanessa took great care to keep us updated multiples times a day with pictures and feedback on how our pup was doing. Thanks for taking such excellent care of our boy and our home, Vanessa!

About: For my whole life, I have always had family dogs. As an adult, I got my own family dog and he’s so loved! Dogs always made me feel save, loved and at peace. They are so loyal, loveable, and perfect to talk to. I am the first person my friends and family ask to watch their precious fur babies while they go on vacation, short or long stays, or even to let them out to the bathroom or feed them if they are running late. I have an open house for dogs to roam. They are welcome to wander around and make use of my backyard. I have a doggy pool for dogs to cool off in the warm and hot days, I have dog beds to supply if needed. I have experience in raw diets along with kibble. I love getting out and taking dogs for walks, and hikes. I have great trails near my house. I don’t mind giving your dogs a baths along with brushing them. I am a great listener, a friendly face and an awesome cuddler. My hours are very flexible as I am a stay at home mom and I dont mind a little commute, I have my own transportation. I have a 9 year old boxer who loves to play with other dogs. I promise your puppies vacay will be a fun one! I am currently a stay at home mama. We have a little 1 year old daughter who’s bright and cheerful. If you don’t mind your dogs around a little one, and they are child friendly, we’d love to accommodate your furry friend. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have lots of time to play with your puppy and give them as much attention as they need! I have a fully fenced in yard on an acre, lots of room to run and explore. I also have cameras all around our property.

About: My love for dogs began at a young age, and throughout my life I have naturally taken on the responsibility of caring for them. From daily walks and feeding to grooming, hydration, and training, caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. For many years, friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets while they are away, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have a natural ability to build strong relationships with dogs and often incorporate training into my interactions, including heel work, recall, leash manners, and fun tricks that help strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate, and professional care that gives pet owners peace of mind. I am available Monday through Friday for dog walking services, as well as 2–3 drop-in visits between 5:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each weekday. I’m currently working part time and am available Monday–Friday, 5:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. for 1-hour dog walks or drop-in visits, including potty breaks, feeding, hydration, companionship, and a 15-minute walk. To ensure the comfort and well-being of my own three cats, I do not offer boarding services for dogs or cats in my home. Instead, I provide personalized in-home care through 1–3 daily visits, allowing your pets to remain comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. For dogs who enjoy a little extra adventure, I have a fully insured and safety-equipped 2003 Honda Civic with dog seatbelt restraints. With your permission, I can take your pup on enriching walks and hikes along the beautiful trails at Emily Provincial Park, providing both exercise and mental stimulation while keeping safety my top priority.

Usually, I work Monday-Friday 9-5 but also have the opportunity to work from home somedays so I can be more available to your pet! I can also do check-ins on lunches or breaks. My goal is to give a loving, welcoming, engaging and fun environment for pets of all shapes and sizes! We will have a lot of fun spending time together going for walks, playing, getting lots of pets and cuddles!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and needs, including senior and special-needs pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate routines, oral medications, and injectable medications. I’m also happy to follow detailed care instructions because I know how important consistency can be, especially for pets who are anxious, elderly, or require medication. When your pet is with me, I want you to be able to relax knowing they’re being genuinely cared for—not simply checked on. I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates, give them lots of attention, and keep their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet wants long walks and playtime or would rather curl up beside me for some company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐾 My schedule is quite flexible, which gives me plenty of opportunities to fit pet care into my day. I’m available on many weekends as well as throughout the week between classes, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine. I know pets don’t always operate on a convenient schedule, so I take agreed-upon feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, medications, and other routines seriously. If your pet needs a little extra time, patience, or attention, I’m more than happy to provide it. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else. Communication is really important to me, so you can expect updates and photos while your pet is in my care. I want you to feel just as comfortable with me as your pet does! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, crates, household rules, behavioural quirks, and routines. I’m also mindful of doors, gates, leashes, interactions with other animals, and anything else that could pose a safety risk. I know that being cared for by a new person can be overwhelming for some animals, so I’m happy to let shy or nervous pets approach me at their own pace. I’ll never force interaction, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to your pet’s personality. I treat every home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine and will always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual with your pet.

Vanessa was amazing! It was my first time using Rover and Vanessa put my mind at ease by setting up a meet and greet ahead of time and sending updates throughout her stay. My dog and cat were very comfortable with her and were happy upon my return. My house was in perfect order and secured at the conclusion of her stay. I will definitely be rebooking with Vanessa. Thank you! 🐕🐈

About: I have taken care of dogs for friend, families for many years. I am great with high energy dogs who need walks and consistent play! I’m also great with the quieter anxious dogs who need a little extra love while their family is away! I work full time Monday- Friday. I am flexible on weekends and can be with your pets full time. I can give morning and evening walks and send daily pictures to keep you updated I always make sure I know the boundaries of the yard. I can crate your dog if that is what you prefer or leave them out. I always like to monitor for different behaviours or signs the pet is anxious or sick. I love sending daily pictures and updates to keep your informed how how your pet is doing

Jacob was calm and friendly and Yoshi really seemed to like him. We were away for 6.5 hours and came home to a happy, fed, and unstressed puppy. We would certainly have Jacob back to look after Yoshi and Tucker.

My cats were in the Best care! One is a little more timid and she was in Cat Love right from the beginning of the stay. It was better than I could have hoped for. It was a relief to leave Cally and Pumpkin in care with someone who clearly loves cats. I highly recommend this service and site without hesitation and know you can leave your furry friends in caring hands and enjoy your time away! We will definitely be booking again! Thank you so very much!

Dayna is an excellent dog sitter. She has sat for my dog Jackson in both my house and I have left Jackson at her house with her and her dog Tokyo. She has also taken care of Jackson and two dogs other dogs who were visiting me and she did a great job with 3 dogs at once. Dayna clearly loves animals and has a great way with Jackson. She is very attentive while sitting and provides great feedback and photos. Jackson is very excited to see her. Her dog Tokyo is exceptionally well trained and gets along with Jackson just like a big sister and is a great friend and role model for my dog. I strongly recommend Dayna to any one looking for a Rover!

About: I’ve helped care for dogs since I was 9 years old. From puppies to seniors, big and small, there’s no dog I won’t care for. I work full time Monday to Friday, but my evenings and weekends are usually free. I have occasionally have online activities, but your pet will always have priority. I have a large yard for potty breaks, and live on a very quiet road for walks. Our house is large enough for playtime sessions.

My husband and I travelled to the Dominican Republic for a week, and Grace stayed with our 15-year-old cat, Jersey. Grace sent pictures or videos a couple of time each day and I could tell Jersey was comfortable and all of his routines were being followed. Our home was spotless when we returned and the peace of mind Grace provided us while we were away was priceless . We would highly recommend Grace, and will certainly be reaching out to her again when we travel next.

Vanessa stayed in my home and took care of my dog Ellie. Vanessa was professional, courteous and reliable in every interaction from the initial booking to checking in as she left. My dog who can be reactive with new people was instantly comfortable with her and was happy and calm when I returned home. My house was spotless. Vanessa is a wonderful and trustworthy pet sitter and overall just a lovely person. I highly recommend her and will rebook with her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Omemee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Omemee on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 220 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Omemee. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Omemee maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Omemee walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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 Omemee 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!

You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.

If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 80% 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.
