“We recently hired Gayle and Liam to babysit our two pups in our home for 4 nights. We have always left the pups with our adult children but they were both busy. We have two rescue dogs that are not easy. Both are high anxiety and can be timid around new people. They arent fans of new routines. Gayle and Liam knocked it out of the park with their approach. They knew exactly what our dogs needed and provided a calm, patient atmosphere for them. We couldnt be happier. Gayle sent us so many photos and updates to help alleviate our own stress. By the end of her visit, the dogs were cuddling in Gayles lap. Gayle and Liam are so accomodating and we are so thankful to have met them. We will be using their services again. 😊”

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!

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!

“My partner and I went away to France for a week and a half. Robyn stayed in our home to take care of our dog Hugo. She was absolutely amazing! Communicative, thoughtful, and consistent. She gave us daily updates with photos and made sure our guy received lots of love and attention. She respected the instructions we had left and went above and beyond by tidying our place before we got home. We will certainly use her services again, and we highly recommend her!”

About: I have had a small dog for 10 years that lives at my parents house as they are retired and love having him around. I now have two cats living with me who are the most snuggly cats you'll ever meet! I am also frequently around large dogs and horses as I live with my fiance at the Stable he works at. I love all animals and understand how difficult it can be to take time away from them for other priorities. I am currently working from home just outside of Georgetown. I have flexible hours, including lunches. On weekends I usually go for hikes or walks outside, so I can easily fit my services into my schedule. I have a dog that was untrained when we first got him. I was able to crate train and potty train (peeing outside) with treats and encouragement. I am generally a calm person, which I have found helps as well. I would love to come for a introduction to make sure everyone is comfortable.

About: I have had formal training with the both the Kitchener SPCA as a dog care attendant and Paws it Forward foster agency as a foster parent for numerous dogs of all sizes and backgrounds. This has allowed me to develop my skills as a pet sitter and ensure that I am properly taking care of your animals as per industry standards.

I’m able to take breaks to check in on them, provide meals, fresh water, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. Because I’m home for most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I can also be flexible with timing and adjust my schedule around your pet’s routine and individual needs. Whether your pet is looking for a walk, some playtime, or simply a little extra company during the day, I’m happy to provide a calm, comfortable, and caring environment while you’re away. I care for every pet according to their individual needs, personality, and routine. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for pets in house, I make sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment while you’re away.

About: If your dog has a "go-go-go" personality, we’re going to be best friends. I love running, biking, and hiking—and I think everything is better with a four-legged sidekick. I specialize in the "Big and Small" (I’ve owned 'em all!) and have plenty of love left over for the feline roommates, too. Because I set my own hours, I’m available when you need me. Need a midday marathon for your Husky? A cozy house-sit for your senior Pug? Or maybe just someone to make sure your cat doesn't take over the world while you're at work? I’m your girl. Let’s chat and find a time that works for your fur-family! I have a flexible schedule to hang, walk and be with your pets. My routine is your routine, let me know what works best for you. For dog walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and hydration: secure leashing, appropriate pacing, and fresh water. For cats, I maintain their exact routine: precise feeding, medication if needed, and thorough litter box cleaning. I offer playtime or comfortable, quiet companionship based on their comfort level.

About: I grew up with Moose, our family's Shar-Pei. The breed tends to be wary of strangers, and watching Moose slowly warm up to visitors taught me to let a new dog come to me when they're ready. I've also walked dogs for neighbours and friends, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. On walks, my phone stays in my pocket unless I'm taking photos for your update. That way, I spot a dropped chicken bone before your dog does. If your dog tenses up at an oncoming dog, a skateboard, or a goose, I cross the street or head the other way before it turns into barking or lunging. I also adjust each walk to your dog, whether they need a slow stroll with lots of sniffing or a brisk pace to burn off energy. I'll stick to your rules too: the commands you use, how many treats are allowed, and whether the couch is off-limits. I'm on a lighter course load this term, so apart from a few classes, I'm available 7 days a week, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. That means I can walk your dog at the same time every weekday while you're at work, so they know what to expect. I'm also around for last-minute walks when you're running late, and I can usually do a meet & greet within a day or two of hearing from you. I keep my Rover calendar up to date, so if it shows me as available, I am. If my class schedule changes next term, I'll give you plenty of notice. At our meet & greet, I'll learn your dog's routine, how they are with other dogs, what spooks them, and who to call in an emergency, including your vet. On walks, I make sure your dog can't back out of their collar or harness, keep them leashed the whole time, and always pick up after them. They only greet other dogs if you're fine with it and the other dog's owner agrees. On hot days, I test the pavement with the back of my hand to make sure it's safe for paws, bring water, and keep walks short and shaded. When it's bitterly cold or icy, I shorten walks and stick to cleared paths. In your home, I block the doorway when I come and go so your dog can't dart out, and I never bring anyone else inside. On drop-ins and house sits, I keep meals, walks, and bedtime on your dog's usual schedule. When I'm staying over, I never leave them alone longer than we've agreed. Before I leave, I wipe mud or road salt off their paws, refill the water bowl, latch any gates, and lock up. After every visit, you'll get photos and a quick update, including bathroom breaks. If anything seems off, like limping or an upset stomach, I'll let you know right away.

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 of House Sitting in Orangeville is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $58 per night. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 825 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Orangeville. About 86% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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, a background 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.

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.

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.

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

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
