“Elizabeth has been amazing looking after our boy during our last two vacations. She keeps us informed on how he is doing and sends cute photos. The house is spotless when we return and we know Barli has been well cared for as well. He loves to see her during our pre vacation meeting and I’m sure lots of good cuddles while we are away. We highly recommend Elizabeth.”
“Ellie was great with our dog Greta. So attentive to her and sent messages and pictures throughout the stay. Highly recommend Ellie to house and dog sit. She’s very responsible and reliable.”
“Paige put our minds totally at ease while caring for our 2 large dogs and our cat. She sent me plenty of updates and photos which was greatly appreciated. She stayed in our home so the dogs would be more comfortable, had them out for plenty of walks and playtime and even sat with my extremely picky eater so that he would finish his meal. It's always tough to leave your fur babies but we knew they were in great hands. We will definitely use Paige in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
About: I love dogs and cats and have been a dog mum for most of my life with my baby being 15 years old! Moving to college has been tough, and I miss my animal friends back home! But being able to walk or take care of someone’s pet is a dream! I don’t have the too much experience but I have dog sat for neighbours! I am a university student at University of Guelph! With 2-3 online classes a semester I have a lot of free time! With on average 6-12 hours of of free time per day! I love in an apartment with two roommates, one is in school to become a vet and the other studying the arts! We all have pets at home and are great with animals! Our home is clean, non-smoking and a fairly quiet building! With 3 parks within walking distance!
About: IG: Lady.rav | FB: Raveen walks dogs - Halton & area Dogs are my happy place — I’ve always felt at home around them. I’ve owned four German Shepherds, all rescues, and have done a mix of personal and professional training with them (including one with dog aggression). Those experiences taught me how to understand dogs deeply, from their body language to the way they respond to human energy. I’m active, love hiking, and think everything is more fun with a four‑legged friend beside me. Dogs usually settle quickly around me and feel comfortable, which makes walks, playtime, and downtime easy and enjoyable. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or calm structure, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m currently building my consulting business, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility during the week to focus on caring for furry loved ones. On weekends, I volunteer helping abuse survivors move into safe housing during the day, so my evenings remain open and available for walks, drop‑ins, and overnight care. My schedule allows me to be consistently present, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines closely so your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language and needs. I double‑check doors, gates, and safety details, and keep communication open so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is a calm, secure environment where your dog can relax and you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m a 35-year-old working professional, marathon runner, and lifelong dog lover. I work remotely four days a week, giving me plenty of flexibility for daytime walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I grew up with a Labradoodle who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years, and I’ve missed having a dog around ever since! While my condo isn’t quite the right fit for a dog of my own, Rover is the perfect way to spend time with pups and help out fellow dog owners. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, some company while you’re away, or overnight care in your home, I’d love to help! I’m also available on weekends. I’m happy to host small dogs (20 lbs or less) at my condo. Above all, I’ll treat your pup with lots of love, care, and attention, just as I would my own! 🐶 I work full time remotely and would be available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday during the day for potty breaks and walks. I would also be happy to stay at your house during the week if needed. Available on the weekends too. Please give me 3 days (preferably a weeks notice) so I can plan my schedule accordingly! Safety, trust, and comfort are my priorities. I’ll take the time to understand your dog’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of your home, and happy to keep you updated while your pup is in my care.
“Thank you Ethan, from the first time I reached out, you replied back within 15 minutes and right away assured me that you were able to take care of Rosie. We met prior to the date and you were professional, caring and right away made Rosie feel comfortable. You sent me pictures and updates on her stay with you and were very attentive to replying to me if I checked in. Thank you again Ethan and Rosie will be back for sure!”
“Our dog Isla is a nervous rescue dog with severe seperation anxiety, we have never left her with anyone outside of our family. Nicole's responsiveness prior to meeting her, along with our quick debrief in person right before departing, made us feel confident and comfortable with leaving Isla in her care. It was clear she loves dogs and spent time engaging with and playing with Isla. We appreciated all of the updates and photos! We will definitely be booking with Nicole again :)”
“My last sitter left Copper in the middle of the night because they felt Copper was being difficult. I contacted Moody while I was in US, and his prompt reply saved my entire trip. He took Copper for multiple walks, and was really good in communication. Thank you Moody!”
About: I’ve taken care of my cat and dogs since a young age, I’ve been around all breeds and have had co op placements in vet clinics in Oakville which provided me with experience in that environment. I’m currently going to school for Animal science at Guelph. I’ve also volunteered for the guide dogs foundation fostering future guide dog puppies and playing a role in their fundraisers. I currently also work at a veterinary clinic under a veterinarian caring for all pets and exotics I currently attend school and two of five classes are online. I also live with 5 girls who adore animals as much as I do meaning your pets will always have play time. This is my part time job and all of my focus is on your pets. I have experience pet sitting in my home and in other dog owners homes and I think providing owners with the option to allow their dogs to stay in their comfortable environment that they’re used to is a great and best option for most animals
“Tik Wan went above and beyond in caring for my cats. I went to my wedding overseas and had complete peace of mind. She was very communicative. Sending photos and videos at each visit. Playing with the cats made them very happy. A very reliable and attentive cat sitting. 100% would recommend. Will book again for any future travel.”
“Grace was very responsive and communicative during her time watching our cats. She sent us tons of pictures and gave us updates. The cats looked very happy to be with her! We would book her again!! Thanks grace.”
About: I have the experience with both small dogs and large dogs. My own dog is a doodle, I got him 5 years ago when he was only 2 months old. I walk and train him everyday when I am at my parent’s place. I’ve also trained and walked my friend’s dog when she is away for a couple months. The dog is a golden doodle, and she was 4 years old at that time. I’m a dietitian student having my one year internship. I am working in a ltc every weekday from 9am-3pm. I love dogs and cats very much, so I want to get rid of tired from work by spending time with animals. I also want to have some exercise and stretching by walking dogs. I will drive to my client’s home and take care of their pets. I will play with them, feed them, and using treats to have some basic training with them (e.g., sit, up, paw, rollover). If I need to walk the dogs, I’ll walk them in the neighborhood, and take care of their poop
About: Hello! My name is gurman and I am a veterinary technician student who aspires to serve the animals of her community for the rest of her life! I have been walking dogs in the neighborhood for my family and friends for over 8 years, and have finally decided to turn this into an official venture! I live on a farm with multiple dogs, cats, and horses, and I know how important physical and mental stimulation is for our fur babies! I would love to give your animals love and be able to make their and their owners lives a little easier! I am currently taking a semester off from school, so until december I am at your service! I am available all times of the day to come to you, and will work around your hours! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and communicating with you through regular updates and photos. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.

“Carrie took amazing care of our dog Freddie when we were away. She is so sweet and gentle with animals. She understood his individual needs and sent lots of updates. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies!”
About: I have always grown up with dogs of my own. For the past seven years I have been working in the specialty veterinary field assisting all sorts of dogs from puppies, seniors, and any sort of illness. Currently in my third year of veterinary school. I am a student at Ontario Veterinary College, other than that I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups, take them on walks, and give them love and attention. I will treat the animals with my utmost care and give them all the love they need. Houses will be treated as the owner would treat it themselves.
“Angela went above and beyond in caring for my two cats! She followed directions very well and kept me updated on the cats well-being. She is a great pet sitter and I would recommend her to anyone. I felt safe leaving my cats and apartment in her hands. 20000/10 I recommend!”
“Starting with our initial meet and greet Caroline was warm and caring with our cat and dog, we could see she would treat them like her own. Her communication and updates were timely and thoughtful with plenty of photos. We really appreciated Caroline caring for our home as well, with watering plants, taking garbage to the curb and even cleaning up the green bin after a misfortunate attack by raccoons. We would gladly recommend and use Caroline’s services again.”
“Hachi really enjoyed spending time with Janaya! Great communication and punctual and is great with Hachi and his separation anxiety. She also understood we are working on his separation anxiety and provided him with crate time.”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Puslinch maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Puslinch walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Puslinch 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
