About: I’ve had animals my whole life, as for right now I am travelling on and off and therefore cannot have my own furry friend. But in the meantime would love to go on walks and take care of yours! I have plenty of availability when I’m not travelling! When I’m not travelling or volunteering to help youth or other animal programs, I am doing this! When watching the pets taking them out, playing with them, allowing them to eat on time is very important. A healthy balance of everything is what they need!

About: I come from Ecuador where having a dog as part of the family is very common - so as a dog-lover here in Port Colborne, I am happy to provide the wise loving care you want for your pup. I have a sweet female 2-year-old golden doodle who is totally part of my family. I’d welcome your dog, too - whether it’s for a walk, a day-long play date, or a sleep over. When caring for pets, I feed them, give them fresh water, walk or play with them, and clean up after them. I make sure they're comfortable and happy.

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.

Holly to the rescue! I found myself in hospital. I can bring my service dog with me however I am unable to walk and/or get her food and meds ready. Not that friends are unreliable but lead busy lives. I arranged Holly to have 3 visits during the day to offer Patty relief. I knew she was coming. She is prompt and attentive. She was able to navigate my service dog in a social/public setting anticipating the problems she may face. I can focus on my healing and the worry of meeting Patty's needs are under control with Holly to help. Without her, I would be organizing various people who may back out last minute with their own priorities. Holly has a cheerful demeanor and her work ethic is admirable.

About: Hi my name is Aaron! I'm an Aussie who moved to Canada around two years ago. Enjoying the outdoors and wildlife living in Lake Louise; I met my wonderful partner where we decided to move to Niagara and closer to family. We both have a strong love for animals and knew this would be the perfect gig for us! I've been passionate about caring for animals my entire life. Growing up with dogs - specifically Boxers and an Alaskan Malamute - always ensuring they feel loved and secure. Over the years, I've developed many skills in pet care, including feeding routines, grooming, playtime, and recognizing signs of discomfort or illness. I'm experienced with both high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and independent pets who require a gentler approach. I understand just how special each fur baby is and we feel honoured anytime someone chooses to trust us with theirs! I currently have a part time job early morning but have the help of my partner in looking after your fur baby whenever I am out of the house! I have a fenced off back yard big enough for any dog to stretch its legs and get some fresh air. I also love getting outside and going for walks just as much as they do!

About: Hi, my name is Tiffany. I love all kinds of animals and have a lot of experience caring for different pets. I currently own 2 little rat babes and am a dog mom to a Great Pyrenees puppy. I am in love with big dogs, the bigger the better! I grew up in a home that has constantly had pets and I couldn't picture my life without a furbaby. My life has revolved around animals and their wellbeing. I have done a co-op course at a Vets office in the past and learned so many new things for the 6 months that I was there, it was an experience like no other. With all my knowledge I am positive your pet will have a blast and make a new friend in me!

About: Growing up with dogs certainly makes a lot of difference. Although I do not have any professional per se experience but being a dog owner has definitely made me realize how other dog owners feel. We all want the same thing, our beautiful, furry friends to get the happiness and health they deserve. And when you're too busy with your jobs to provide them attention, that's what I am here for. With me near your dogs, you won't have to worry about anything. I have also given my four dogs training and handled them since they were babies. Being in this profession is not just about making money, it is also for doing what I love the most- taking care of dogs. Given me a chance, your dog will feel safe, nourished and happy. I am a full time architectural technologist looking for some extra income. That being said, being a pet owner myself I realize how anxiety inducing it can be to leave your pets alone. My main goal would be to provide a healthy and safe environment for your pets in your absence. Although I live in a duplex, I have access to the front and back yard and the neighborhood I live in is extremely pet friendly with dog parks on a 10 minute walking distance. I can easily create separate spaces for multiple pets and take them out on walks as required.

About: I stand out as a pet sitter because I bring both lifelong experience and professional knowledge to every animal I care for. Having had cats my entire life, I understand their behaviors, needs, and personalities on a deep level, and I also had a dog growing up and have been taking care of dogs for years, so I’m very comfortable with their needs and routines as well. My work at a pet store has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and care practices. I’m confident providing attentive, specialized care for pets at every stage of life—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals who need extra patience and support. I also have experience administering most medications, ensuring pets stay healthy and safe while you’re away. Above all, my genuine love for animals means I treat every pet as if they were my own, with compassion, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m a university student who recently experienced an unexpected change in my schedule, leaving me with more free time than I had planned. While I do have a part-time job, I’ve found myself wanting to stay more active and productive rather than feeling idle. That’s what drew me to an app like this—I’m excited to use my extra time in a meaningful way by helping others. Although my availability may vary at times, I’m eager to be as flexible and reliable as possible and look forward to supporting as many families as I can. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet may have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation, whether that’s walks, play sessions, or simply keeping them company. I’m also experienced in administering most medications and can provide extra support for senior pets, puppies, or kittens who may need more attentive care. In addition to caring for your pet, I keep your home clean, secure, and well-maintained so you can return with peace of mind knowing everything was handled responsibly.

About: I've owned dogs my entire life and have pet-sat for friends, neighbours and family. I am able to accommodate puppies and senior animals. Brushing and bathing are negotiable. I do not groom. My schedule is flexible. I can normally accommodate you with a bit of notice. Usually, any time after 9:00 is fine. I'm currently on leave from home support work due to injury as my job requires heavy lifting. Unless your yard is fenced, I insist on leashing. The field behind my home is great for walks but not fenced. My big dog loves to play with dogs but she can be placed in a separate room. I have a pen for pups or small dogs. Your dog(s) will get cuddles and play. I have a quiet room for shy cats, but your cat(s) can socialize with my 2 cats. My animals are all fixed. I can take exotic pets in your enclosure. My pen will give ample room to guinea pigs or rabbits. I can't separate small pet genders so please confirm in advance or bring your own cage.

Jenny was quick to help us out on pretty short notice. We just moved to Welland so my regular sitter cancelled. Hunter usually runs away when anyone comes in to the house, but Jenny sent pictures of him hanging out with her and said he Meow- talked to her on just the second visit. So she has his seal of approval, which is most important!

About: As a loving pet owner for over 50 years, I consider every pet a true member of the family and pride myself on providing a warm, nurturing environment where your dog will feel right at home. Since I am retired, pet care is my daily routine! I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your dog, ensuring they get constant companion ship, frequent potty, breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. In my home, your dogs safety, exercise, and comfort are my top priorities. I have a completely fenced in yard where they can safely stretch their legs and I love taking dogs on daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored entirely to their pace and energy level. Because I am a retired and home full-time. I follow their usual feeding schedule exactly, provide frequent potty breaks and give them free rein of the house. They are welcome as part of the family meaning plenty of couch cuddles, belly rubs, and companionship all day long.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and know how much they brighten a day. Whether it’s walks, play, or just company, I make sure they’re cared for and happy. Being a student gives me the flexibility to fit into your pup’s routine and keep things easy for both of you. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Fridays, most of Wednesday during the day, and weekends too. That makes it easy for me to fit in regular walks or quick check-ins when you need them. I take walks seriously and always put safety first, whether that means sticking to familiar routes, keeping a close eye on traffic, or matching your dog’s pace and energy. I’ll follow any instructions you give so you know your pup is in good hands.

About: Hi guys, Thanks for checking out my profile! I love furry animals and am excited to meet yours! I recently moved back from Costa Rica where my family and I have rescued many dogs and cats from horrible places and gave them a home that they could enjoy and feel loved. I think they are beautiful creatures that we have been blessed with and it would be my pleasure to meet yours. I aim to make your pet feel at home with me by cuddling, playing and walking. Feel free to message or call and ask any questions. Currently i have as a school bus driver and some time in between. Can't wait to hear from you and hopefully take care of your furry baby! My schedule is quite open due to my job. I'd love to fill in my extra time with some dogs and cats! Plus my kid loves them! When pet sitting, I treat each pet like my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding to playtime, and keep the home clean and secure. Regular updates help build trust and give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Port Colborne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Port Colborne on Rover is $26.64 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 418 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Port Colborne. About 86% of Port Colborne 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 Port Colborne 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 Port Colborne 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. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
