“Jacy was great. Always on time, easy to get a hold of, and took great care of our cats while away from home. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
“Sarah and Karine went above and beyond watching our pets for a month while we were gone! Kept everything clean, gave them lots of love and took lots of pictures! We knew they were in good hands. Recommend to anyone going away!! 🐶🐱”
About: I have been walking dogs including my own as well as done plenty of dog sitting for up to 3 weeks at a time. I have been doing this on and off for about 15 years. I pride myself on being a dog person and being someone others can count on. I’d love to take your dog on a walk! I have open availability and keep myself flexible to fit into your pets routine. Times may be adjusted on days when it’s too hot or too cold. I walk dogs with patience, calmness, and understanding. I grew up with Australian Shepherds and currently own two Siberian Huskies, so I’m very experienced with energetic, intelligent, and strong-willed breeds. Safety is always a priority for me, and I stay aware of other dogs and surroundings during walks — I’m happy to cross the street or create space when needed to keep everyone comfortable and safe. I believe in positive, respectful handling. If your dog pulls, I won’t yell or punish them; instead, I’ll calmly stop and wait until they’re ready to continue. I also believe walks should be enjoyable and enriching, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore, and enjoy all the exciting spots along the way. Every dog is different, and I’ll always be mindful of your dog’s individual abilities, energy level, personality, and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for on our adventures together.
“Sherry was amazing to Ginger while I was away on vacation. She sent me daily pictures and updates, helping me feel connected to my girl while I was gone! I will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I have always grown up with dogs in my family, from small to large! I love all dogs of any breeds, and any size. I am a very active person so I would love to take your pup for an easy walk or a good hike! I am currently employed full time 10-4. I am very flexible with my schedule, just let me know what works best for you and I will try my best to make it work! I grew up with many different breeds of dogs, from low energy to energetic, so I am excited to meet your pup! I can come straight to your pups needs directly from work! I’m flexible in my hours and will be open and honest about what times work best for us both. I know I am an unfamiliar face to your pet, so ensuring they’re comfortable in their own home is one of my main focuses. I can promise to keep your pet as safe as I would keep my own, you can never be too safe with the ones you love!!
“Melanie was amazing!! This was my first time being away and having a sitter for the dogs and I was nervous; but Melanie was awesome. Sent pictures and updates on happenings. I felt at ease knowing she was checking in on them.”
“"I cannot recommend Lauri enough! They were incredibly professional, so kind, and truly went above and beyond. I loved getting the daily updates and photos while I was away—it gave me total peace of mind. If you want a cat sitter who genuinely cares and communicates perfectly, look no further!"”
“Bree took amazing care of our cat. Fed and cared for him as well as sending some time with him so he wasn't lonely. Bree provided great care for our cat and was very kind and respectful. Wouldn't hesitate to book Bree again to take care of our cat.”

I am so lucky to have found Karine and Sarah. They are the best sitters someone could ask for. My dogs are high energy and can be a bit of a handful to handle and I feel so confident leaving them in their care while I'm away. Thank you both for all that you do!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Petawawa on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 23 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Petawawa. About 92% of Petawawa 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 Petawawa 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 Petawawa 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.
