“I have had Cassandra cat sit for me twice now and both times she has been a wonderful sitter for Roman and Mr. T. It is a relief to know that they are in good hands while I am away.”
About: I have had a menagerie since highschool, 4 dogs two of which were rescues, 3 cats, a bearded dragon and a tortoise all under one roof. I miss them all dearly since I moved back down south so I’m looking to share the love again I am currently working part time and have little hours from my job, so my availability is wide open for the most part. I can probably look after pets at least 4 times per week Regardless of where I am, I respect both the space (if it is not my own) and the animal. I want absolute comfort for any animal I look after. They will get an abundance of attention and affection depending on their individual needs. Feeding on time, bathing if they get dirty, and looking after the home as a side thing.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. The dogs I watch, walk, and visit, become my family. I have experience with reactive dogs, dogs that have anxiety about thunder and fireworks, and dogs that have medical regimes. I am attuned to the need for dogs to be engaged through walks, play, and games, while also enjoying their rest. I am Pet First Aid Certified through St. John's Ambulance, with hands on training in dog CPR and other treatments. I look forward to introducing myself and meeting you and your dog(s) during a free meet and greet. My work allows for a flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. I can be available for all of your pet care needs, regardless of timing. My elderly puppies need a predictable environment, so I prefer to stay at your home when caring for your pet(s). I will review your expectations regarding your home, the yard, and the immediate neighbourhood during our free meet and greet. I also offer additional services inside or outside of your home, if you are interested.
About: I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals. I spent several years working professionally in horse care and also have extensive experience with farm sitting and pet care. I currently volunteer with the Niagara SPCA & Humane Society, where I help care for and walk dogs when I can and volunteer at the cat shelter. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and routine. My weekday mornings committed to other work until around noon. I’m happy to provide afternoon, evening, overnight, and weekend care depending on availability. Your pets will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I’d want for my own. I am available early morning, afternoons and evenings most days, and will always try to help on short notice. Hope to hear from you soon. Trustworthy, reliable and caring for your pets like they are my own. With regular updates and photos for your peace of mind while in my care.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals ever since I was younger and have dog sit before. I’m looking forward to talking care of your pet with whatever requirements you may need. I’m a full time university who in their spare time is looking to play with some pets or even just sit on the couch with them! I’m hardworking and reliable, looking to expand my experience :) I take care of my grandparents dog from time to time, including long walks, feeding routines, and providing medication. I’ve done overnight stays before with family’s pets, or daily check in visits. Growing up I had a cat and took care of her everyday, although let’s be honest cats are very independent. I’m usually the person people ask when they’re going away on vacation and need a friend for their pup! In my pet care experience I care for dogs or cats by being a person to play with and walk with, or even someone to sit with. I’m able to be that person your pet can hangout with while their owners are gone. I’m a trustworthy individual who can be interactive with your pet while you’re gone or just be in their presence. I’m able to come into your home, as I feel pets should stay in their environment they’re comfortable in!!
About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether your dog needs an active neighborhood walk, routine feeding, or a quick potty drop-in while you are away, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I am patient with timid or senior dogs, comfortable following detailed instructions, and will always keep you updated with photos and detailed updates after every visit! I maintain a flexible weekly schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate midday dog walks and drop-in visits. I organize my availability in advance so I can provide reliable, on-time care for your pets when you need it most. I am available for morning, midday, and evening visits on select weekdays and weekends. When visiting your home, my priority is keeping your pets safe, happy, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I will follow your specific feeding, and care instructions, ensuring your home remains secure and clean after every visit. I provide detailed updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind while away.

About: I've been around animals my entire life! Growing up we've always had multiple pets in our home. We've raised kittens into cats and puppies into dogs, all of this providing me with excellent hands-on experience with every stage of care in an animals life. Since I was 10, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after them.

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

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.
