“Lesley has been very good with my puppy, I was super nervous leaving him alone but she has been great. Shes very knowledgeable and confident with many different breeds of dog. Shes very communicative and always sends me great pictures.”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care our senior “princess” cat, received during our week away. Because she is older and sometimes experiences confusion and anxiety, being away from us for an extended time has been stressful for her in the past. This time was very different. Nicole and family followed all instructions carefully and truly went above and beyond. She didn’t just drop in, she spent time closely interacting with our girl, giving her the affection, play, snuggles, lap time, and lots of gentle attention. Our senior cat does best when she has people around to help her feel safe and relaxed, Nicole and family met all her needs. We also really appreciated the daily updates so we could see how things were going at home. When we came home, she seemed calm, happy, and much less stressed than after previous trips. It was clear she was very well cared for, and we’re very grateful for the kindness and attention she received. We will rebook with Nicole and Kristopher again.”
“My cats are very afraid of people. When someone comes into our house they always hide but with Jemily went smoothly, they loved her. She is so careful, attended to the details and friendly. Definitely, I will always call her if I need a hand with my babies.”
“Elena was fantastic when looking after my mother's cat, Suzie, while she was away on holidays. I very much appreciated the videos, photos and reports every drop in visit. We could be assured Suzie was in great care. Elena was always prompt responding to messages. I definitely hire Elena again.”

About: I have experience looking after dogs with a disability (blind, diabetic, etc) and all ages. As well, I have a dog of my owe, a miniature dachshund, who has severe food restrictions. I am very capable of ensuring certain diets or plans are met with each dog. Services are tailored to each owner’s individual requirements. Upon agreement, we will establish a schedule that best suits both the owner and their dog, whether that includes daily check-ins, extended visits, or overnight stays. I am flexible and committed to providing reliable, attentive, and accommodating care. Please note that, in addition to dog sitting, I work full-time in a hybrid role. While I will always do my best to work from the owner’s home whenever possible, there may be occasions where this cannot be guaranteed. I appreciate your understanding and will communicate openly to ensure expectations are clear and care arrangements remain seamless. I provide attentive, responsible, and personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s preferences. My priority is always the pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. I begin by reviewing all care instructions in detail, including feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medications, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral considerations. I follow these guidelines closely to maintain consistency and reduce stress for the pet. In a client’s home, I ensure your pet remains in a familiar environment while receiving regular feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, and any required medication. I keep the home clean and secure, and provide updates so owners feel confident and informed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Petrolia on Rover is $22.76 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 76 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Petrolia. About 79% of Petrolia 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 Petrolia 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 Petrolia 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.
