“Both of our boys, Henry (dog), and Geordy (cat) survived our five day absence in fine shape. Mike did an excellent job of getting them, fed, treated, cuddled, and played with during his visits. When we have to travel Mike will be our go-to guy for pet care... and photography too! He sent us photos of the boys throughout our time away.”
“Brooke was absolutely wonderful! She did a great job dropping in to care for our two cats over the weekend. Has a lovely calm energy and followed the pet care instructions very well.”
About: Hi, I'm Kayla! I was the geeky neighbor kid knocking on doors to ask if I could walk your dog just for fun—and the kid creating Bristol-board presentations on different dog breeds in hopes of convincing my parents to let me get one. Now, I'm pursuing that childhood passion as an adult! As a lifelong animal lover, I have hands-on experience owning, fostering, and caring for both dogs and cats. Whether your dog prefers a brisk, active walk to burn off extra energy or a leisurely "sniffari" to explore the neighborhood, I will customize every outing to fit their exact needs. In my free time, you can usually find me hiking, horseback riding, or deep into a good book. Please reach out—I can’t wait to meet you and hang out with your pup! I am currently providing pet care services full time Monday to Friday, 8AM to 5PM. Please reach out if you are in need of a caretaker outside of these hours. As a lifelong animal lover, I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to feel comfortable leaving them in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pets like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while sticking to their usual routines and following any special instructions you provide. You can count on me to be reliable, trustworthy, and respectful of your home. I also understand the importance of being prepared for the unexpected, including pet CPR and first aid. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring hands while you’re away!
“Thanks, Rita, for everything. It was clear from the beginning the boys were calm (as calm as they get!) and comfortable in your presence - and so were we. We appreciate your responsiveness and kindness. Hope to see you again!”
“Jen is beyond WONDERFUL! Can't ask for a more caring, kind and loving person to look after our fur baby when we are away. Our fur baby is ALWAYS happy to see Jen and that puts us at ease. We love having Jen as apart of our family. ?”
About: Growing up we had various pets to take care of and learn responsibility for so my love of animals started young. I have over the years done drop in visits, overnight stays at your home as well as having your pet at my own place. Each pet is unique and their care should reflect that. I have cared for senior animals with various medication requirement as well as puppies just finding their bearings. I appreciate the simplicity of going for a walk and believe that having a dog alongside yo u enhances the experience. I currently work shift work with 5 days off at a time so my schedule fluctuates, but allows for an ample amount of free time to be adjusted for your needs. Prior to care, I would discuss with you the pet's schedule and routine as well as their needs to ensure they get the proper care. This would also include any additional information about your pet for situational circumstances and their personality. While your animal is in my care I do provide updates to give peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of Family pets. I am Very Responsible for feeding, walking, playing and enjoying dogs unconditionally. I recognize that animals also need the same love and care that humans require. I am able to take care of your beloved dogs throughout the week and weekends. I am available in the early mornings and early afternoons I make sure to have all food and water available as required. I ensure that the animals are fenced or gated and I provide the proper care and timing for their bathroom schedule.
About: I have worked with dog rescue and foster agencies for 15+ years, including adopting from a shelter in the US. I have a large, fenced in yard and a home that your dog is free to explore while visiting. I have taken my pets to professional trainers, and have an understanding about behaviors, socializing and proper care for my pets. I have a 14 year old beagle and 18 month old Pressa/Border Collie who love to play. I currently work from home most of the week and will have time to care for your dog during the workday/evening or weekends that I am home. I have a fully fenced back yard with 2 resident (female) dogs waiting to welcome your family dog for the time you're away! Lot's of room in the house for your dog to roam freely.
About: I’ve been caring for my beloved Cockapoo for over three years. Together, we’ve traveled the world — from Turkey to China, Canada, and the U.S. These experiences have taught me how to keep pets calm and happy in new environments. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on each pet’s comfort and unique personality. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior, I’ll care for them like they’re family. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I start each morning with a walk and playtime, and I always make time throughout the day for feeding, bathroom breaks, and cuddles. On weekends, I often explore pet-friendly parks and trails. Since I already care for my own dog daily, integrating another pet into my routine feels seamless and joyful. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and make sure each pet gets the attention and activity they need to feel happy and secure. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and calm. I keep dangerous objects out of reach, monitor doors and gates carefully, and follow the pet’s daily routine as closely as possible. I take time to build trust by approaching animals gently and respectfully, and I always provide lots of love, attention, and care to make them feel at ease — like they’re right at home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Stanley 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 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.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
