About: Best friend to a medium sized poodle. Love pets and the outdoors! Looking forward to meeting new friends and walking companion. Friendly to pet owners. Trustworthy. Monday to friday after 4pm is an ideal time for walks and play. I have a flexible schedule within the given available hours. Priority is key. I have a fenced yard to keep your dog safe. I can accommodate preferences like "dog company" or "no dog company" while still enjoying the space.
“The most amazing dog sitter. I was hesitant to leave our puppy for 5 days, but had no choice due to work. Gayle stayed in our home, took care of our two frenchies, kept the puppy on her routine. She kept our home clean and was super respectful of our space. Sent us pictures of the dogs every day. Super easy to communicate with. We feel really lucky to met someone like Gayle. 🫶”
About: Hey there! I’m here to help you with all your pet care needs! I am a true animal lover, I have a dog of my own named Aria who is literally my world alongside my son. Growing up I had my family dog, Sushi, and my two cats, Bella and Sylvester. I have been caring for animals since I was very young and it truly is one of my passions. I have been dog walking for about 10 years now. It started out just walking a couple friends dogs and now I am on Rover. If you’d like to know more about me and my pet experience feel free to message me and I always encourage a meet and greet whether in person or on video chat, before we move forward with our booking :) thanks for reading! I am a nursing student in a hybrid program. I am at home most of the time, I have a dog myself so I am home most of the time caring to her and my young child! I ensure that all dogs/cats get the privacy or walks that they need. Every animal is different and I adjust my care to each animals needs. We take every safety precaution and since I have a dog, it’s always strongly recommended we do a meet and greet before hand to ensure everyone gets along!
“Ashley is great! She took the time to do multiple meet and greets with our reactive doggie before dogsitting for us for 2 weeks. She sent us daily updates and kept our doggie busy! She kept our house cleaner than when we left it and did more than we expected.”
About: Ive had a love for animals since I was a small child. I have taken care of animals since I was around 5 and have a strong sense of understanding towards their needs and wants. I have a dog myself who is a whole lot of crazy, but we have highly trained her and make sure she is the happiest dog. I promise to make your fur baby feel the most loved and leave with a new best friend! Im currently working two part time jobs and hours are very different every week. Since my schedule is so flexible I should be able to fit in a time for your furry friend whenever is best for you I am very comfortable around any size dog and can provide a stronger service if needed (more crate time, any needed training, potty training, etc). I can bring an assortment of toys or treats if wanted. If you have very specific needs and wants for your pets I am more than happy to provide!!
About: We are a family of four: Kristen, Jeff, Vaeda (born May 2025) and Maggi (mini schnauzer rescue). We have a welcoming and fun home & go on hikes often. Maggi is a big scaredy-cat when it comes to humans, but loves to meet new fur friends and can’t wait to meet yours! Your pup will have a friend in her for sure! We are happy to accommodate your pups needs and are excited to get to know their quirks! Our Daughter, Vaeda is also excited to meet your pup, though she’s much to small to play just yet! We keep her and pups at a safe distance always. I (Kristen) work from home most days (1-2 days in office), so your fur baby won’t be left alone for long most days. We are usually home on weekends and tend to go hiking when possible in the area. If your pup loves to walk, we love to bring them along! We usually feed our pup in the mornings and give treats in the evenings when training (Maggi is a work in progress, we love training her new commands)! My husband (Jeff) takes the dog on morning walks, while I (Kristen) take her out after work around 5/6pm. Walks are usually 30 mins to 1 hour in length around the neighbourhood or a nearby park. Whenever possible we are outside on our back deck and Maggi joins us when she’s interested in company. Maggi is a lovely pup and she plays well with other dogs!
“Bridget took great care of my 2 dogs and cat while I was away on vacation. She took the dogs for long walks and made sure all the pets were cared for. Would definitely recommend!”
“Robin was amazing, came out to visit before we left on vacation to socialize with our dogs.. While we were on vacation she communicated with us daily and sent us pictures while she sat the dogs at our house. House was even picked up and clean when we got home. Was a real pleasure having her take care of our house. Will certainly book her again in the future when we need her help. Would definitely recommend her!”

My name is Lori, and I am definitely an animal lover! I have two kids, both highschool/university age, and this is my only job, so your pup(s) will receive my full attention! A few years back, we lost our beloved golden retriever to cancer, and it left a big void in our lives, so being able to spend time with any dogs is very special to me; it is not a chore! I live in a somewhat rural area called Hillsburgh, with lots of trees and fresh air. (There is also a private wooded trail that runs through my property) I have a Welsh pony named Stormy, of which your dog(s) will have no contact for safety reasons, but she is very friendly. I am a grade 1-6 teacher, but not currently teaching at this time. Just send me a message and let me know how I can help. I can't wait to meet you and your pets!
About: I've always had a soft spot for all creatures under the sun, and being able to care for a pet, be it mine or someone else's always brings me great joy. I owned a cat for over 17 years (and a hamster and 2 rats in college), I currently have one cat at home and have done drop in visits most of my life to help care for all sorts of pets, from fish, lizards, rabbits, cats, and dogs. I have experience as a live in pet sitter, and while I can't bring pets to my house due to my own little territorial fluff ball, I'm just as happy to care for your pets as though they are my own. As an actor, work isn't always easy to come by, and with my flexible availability and empathetic heart, I think I would make a great companion for your pets when you can't physically be with them. I work in the entertainment industry which can be feast or famine, so I am looking for supplemental income for the foreseeable future! Lots of availability right now :) The care I provide is always based on the needs of the pets! Whether it is my utmost attention or just a nearby presence during naps, making your pet happy and comfortable is always my priority!

“We are so grateful to have found Alice! She is clearly an animal person, she took such good care of our cat. She was really interested in our fur baby, gave her lots of love even before we left and took good care of her while we were away, including giving her meds. This was our first time away in years and even though it was a short getaway, Alice put our mind at ease. We got regular update and even pictures/video. Great experience! Thank you Alice for such great care!”
“"If you need a reliable, professional sitter, look no further. Stephanie was wonderful with our puppy, accommodating every need and flawlessly executing a strict routine. It’s hard to find someone so dedicated and well-conducted. Highly recommend her for future sessions!"”
“Syd was great watching my dog for the day. This is the first time I’ve left my dog with someone other than family and friends and she warmed up to Syd! She sent updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated, and even cleaned my dogs dishes afterward. My dog was actually sad once she left — a true sign she had a great time. Highly recommend Syd for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

Kaia was amazing.Our pups truly enjoyed their time with her. She took them on travels, stayed with them for the week and kept the house in good order. Couldn’t ask for more than that. We would highly recommend Kaia. She’s trustworthy and honest, caring and thoughtful and truly has the best interest of your pets at heart.
I cannot see how much I appreciated having Emma with my boys. She gave me so much peace of mind as I have never left them with anyone other than family. My little old guy who is 16 years old and fragile was treated like gold and absolutely loved Emma, which was evident from the pictures and feedback I got all weekend long.from My little anxious one loved Emma as soon as she walked in. There’s just something about her that dogs love. Thank you so much Emma, I was able to get away with peace of mind

FAQs for House Sitting - Orangeville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Orangeville on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Orangeville 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 Orangeville 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 Orangeville 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:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 81% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
