“Kayla took great care of my doggies when I was gone overnight. They were fed, watered and walked. Photo updates were provided as well which helped put me at ease that my dogs were in good hands. Kayla seems very kind.”
“Lydia is very reliable and took great care of my cats. She really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was smooth and easy throughout. This job requires a lot of love, and luckily she has it. My lovely cats were calm and well when I got back, which really shows how well she cared for them. I hope Lydia will continue doing this work — I would definitely book her again in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: Hi, I’m Christina! I’ve always had a big heart for animals and love spending my time caring for them. I have hands-on experience with many dog breeds, sizes, and personalities as a volunteer dog walked for the Owen Sound Animal Shelter. I understand that every pet has their own unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive — and I know how important it is for pet parents to have peace of mind while they’re away. Your pup’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority, whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle, or sticking to their routine. I’d love the chance to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve I’m currently operating before and after school childcare. I’m available to walk or care for your pup however that may look for you between 9am-3pm. The care and service will be directed to your pups needs and wants whether that an adventurous or relaxing walk or even playing in your yard.
About: I have had animals in my household all my life, I have had a dog since the age of 12! I have always been that person when friends and family who are in a pickle with animals to care for them! I am responsible yet caring and loving towards all animals. I work 5 days a week right now but they are part time hours so I have lots of time for your furbabies! Stormy and I are always down at the dog park everyday regardless of weather! I know that routine is very important to animals! I have a partially fenced back yard which is about 0.7 acres large! I have two friendly dogs who will keep your best friend company. My lab is nearly 11 and she doesn’t play as much as my husky mix who is just over a year and is very playful! If needed I do have an extra crate as well!

About: Hi there, My name is Natalie and I live with my partner Jesse, our 12 year old pug Bernie and our 4 year old Terrier mix, Lucy. We are huge dog lovers and often spend our weekends going for long walks and volunteering for a local animal rescue. We would treat your pet like our own while they are in our care. Every day we make sure our two dogs are cared for and happy. Our joy and purpose comes from seeing them living their best lives. Safety and lost dog prevention always comes first. It is so important that a dog is secure and never given the opportunity to be in harms way.
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and been very active in training many dogs in obedience, agility and of course the basics! I have lot of patience if you have a puppy or an older dog that needs more attention and love. I am very flexible if your dog needs extra attention whether it's medications, exercise, special diets or just extra loving. I do work full time Mon-Fri but more then happy to spend my weekends looking after your pooch! Flexible potty times and outside play time. We have 2 medium energy female dogs in our home who love company and playing. There's 3 acres for them to roam with us in the yard or tie out for a quick potty.

I am currently doing pet care full-time, so I have plenty of time to play, walk and look after your loved ones! I am available any day during the week! For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their routine consistent. During drop-ins, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. On walks, I make sure dogs get safe, engaging exercise at their own pace. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, and I always double check doors, leashes, and surroundings for safety. I also provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for! :)

About: I have loved and cared for animals with empathy since I was a child. I was always very drawn to animals, and felt a strong connection with them. Whatever you need, I would be thrilled to meet, and care for your fur babies. I do have a full time job but I've just been off with an injury so im home all day and I have lots of free time to take care of your fur babies. Walks, visits, house drop ins, doggie day care. I would be honored to look after your animals. I have a very large fenced yard, and 2 friendly young dogs for your pup to play with. They are never outside without me monitoring them.
About: Hi, I’m Ella! I have 5 years of hands-on pet care experience ranging from small, fluffy companions to large, energetic dogs and gentle seniors.I am the proud owner of a 3-year-old Maltipoo, so I am very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, regular brushing, bathing, and even teeth cleaning! Recently, I’ve also looked after a diverse pack of three dogs together—including two large 4-year-old brothers and a sweet 10-year-old senior. This taught me how to balance different energy levels and make sure every dog gets the exact care, exercise, and attention they need. I am fully available all day on weekends and during weekday evenings (after 5:00 PM / 8:00 PM). I have reliable transportation during these hours, making me the perfect fit for your weekend trips, dinner-time feedings, or late-night check-ins! My Personal Pet Care Philosophy:I provide comprehensive, attentive care tailored to each pet's unique routine. For my own companion, this includes structured 30-minute daily walks, engaging indoor games for mental stimulation, regular feeding schedules, and essential hygiene maintenance like bathing and oral care. Above all, I prioritize deep companionship and plenty of affection so pets always feel safe and loved.My Approach to Client Care:When managing multiple pets, I excel at diversifying my attention to meet every animal's individual personality and age-related needs. I actively engage and burn off energy with high-strung dogs, provide a calm and reassuring presence for relaxed pets, and deliver the gentle, patient care required for seniors. No matter the pack dynamic, I ensure every pet receives their proper meals, routine care, and focused individual attention.
About: I provide dependable in-home pet and house sitting for dogs, cats and small or exotic pets, with an emphasis on keeping them happy and settled in their own environment and schedule. I can help with feeding, walks, companionship, plant care, mail/package collection and any other everyday household needs while you’re away. I also have experience caring for animals with medical needs, senior pets, and pets who need a little extra support. This includes pets who are blind, have hearing loss, require oral medication, insulin, allergy care and heart medication. I’m attentive to details, comfortable following care instructions and careful about monitoring changes in behaviour, appetite, energy, mobility or comfort. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before the first booking so I can get to know your pets, their routines, their care needs and any important details ahead of time. My goal is to give owners peace of mind while making sure their pets feel safe, cared for and settled at home! I am self-employed, so I have flexible availability and pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available seven days a week and structure my time around each pet’s regular schedule. My goal is to keep pets comfortable in their own home and regular routine while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. I provide care in the client’s home, so my focus is on keeping pets safe, comfortable and settled in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, medication, litter care, playtime, companionship, and bedtime routines. Before a booking, I like to review care instructions, health needs, emergency contacts, vet information, home access details and any household routines. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, food, medications and anything that could affect a pet’s safety. I also respect the client’s home by keeping things tidy, collecting mail/packages, caring for plants and following household instructions.
About: I absolutely love animals and would be honoured to care for, exercise or check on your fur baby! It doesn’t matter how old or young your animal is. I will love them like my own! I am currently taking a break from my sales career. I have two children and two dogs. I enjoy hiking or walking with my dogs. The safety of your animal is very important to me. I will take every precautions to ensure your animal is safe and secure in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life, growing up with dogs and cats. I’ve watched friends and neighbours animals, as well as worked in a shelter and volunteering. I am working part time, so I will have more than enough time to play and spoil your animal. I am off every weekend as well as every Tuesday. I have a fully fenced in yard and three very friendly small (under 10lbs) dogs. I do have the option to keep separate if needed, and have crates if needed.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve had them since I was young and have spent the last 12 years caring for others’ pets as well. I recently lost my beloved French Bulldog, who required a lot of dedicated care, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease. Because I’m completing my Master’s degree from home, I have a flexible and adaptable schedule. This allows me to be available during the day for walks, feedings, and ongoing supervision, ensuring pets receive consistent, attentive care rather than being left alone for long periods. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how important routine and a calm environment are, so I do my best to keep things consistent with what they’re used to—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just how they like to relax. I’m very mindful about safety in the home and always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I also keep communication open so you always know how your pet is doing. These things were so important to me with my own dog.
“Laura is a life saver! I was stranded at work for almost 24 hours because of a snow storm. Within an hour of contacting her she dug out her car and went and took my doggo out for a walk and fed him. She even shoveled my steps!”

Lydia is very reliable and took great care of my cats. She really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was smooth and easy throughout. This job requires a lot of love, and luckily she has it. My lovely cats were calm and well when I got back, which really shows how well she cared for them. I hope Lydia will continue doing this work — I would definitely book her again in the future and highly recommend her!
Stefania and our boy Huck are getting along great! He’s a finicky boy with new people, so we’re over the moon happy that he has a new friend and care provider. Stef has been great communicating and sending us pics during visits. Thank you Stef for taking such good care of our sweet boy.
Tiffany was great! It usually takes our dog a while to warm up to new people, but he became buds with Tiffany right away. Dogs are a good judge of character, and he trusts her after just one visit. It makes us feel so much better knowing that our boy is in good hands while we’re away. Thank you Tiffany!

There are 95 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Owen Sound. About 76% of Owen Sound 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 Owen Sound 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 Owen Sound 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.
