“Aleksandra very patiently took the time to get to know my nervous dog, who can be slow to warm up to new people. She kept me updated with lots of pics showing me he was in good hands while I was away - relaxed and staying in his routine. I would gladly book again. Thank you!”
“We are so grateful to have found Kristie! She took great care of our two dogs and provided updates throughout our time away! Communication was easy, the house was immaculate when we got back and our pups were happy! It was our first time having a caretaker care for our dogs in our home and was a great experience thanks to Kristie. We will definitely be asking her to come sit Talie and Odie again.”
“Dodi loved Denise! She watched her for a weekend while my family was away for a wedding and she did an amazing job taking care of my mini schnauzer. She sent lots of updates and always very responsive would definitely recommend Denise!”
“Christine was super understanding with our needs for Buddy. New puppy never been left alone and readily accepted our request for a meet & greet before the actual booking. Highly recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for more than 15 years. I will be your best walk, sit, play and stay experience to your dog. My day starts early in the morning. So, I can easily manage drop ins and walks in the morning and evenings. Also, on the weekends, I am all available for house sittings. I will be your focused and hassle-free dog walker. Which your furry friend is going to love it truly. Your pet will always be injury free with me.
About: Having raised my 4-year-old Golden Retriever back home in India and spent years caring for community stray cats, animal care has always been a natural part of my life. That hands on experience taught me deep patience, how to read subtle body language, and how to earn an animal's trust,whether it's an energetic dog or a shy cat. Today, as a devoted parent to my own Maltipoo puppy, Nomi, and kitten, Smokey, my daily life revolves around gentle routines, play, and attentive care. I apply that same level of devotion to your pets, making sure their feeding schedules, exercise, and comfort are handled with total love, consistency, and daily photo updates so you always have peace of mind. I only work on Wednesday- Friday, which gives me plenty of dedicated time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Because my daily routine already centers around caring for my own pup Nomi and kitten Smokey, pet care seamlessly fits into my day. I’m available for weekday drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting, as well as full weekend care. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, safety, comfort, and routine consistency are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-proofed, and welcoming environment where they can socialize safely with Nomi and Smokey or have their own peaceful, designated space to relax. For home visits or house sitting, I strictly respect your household boundaries, maintain secure walking habits with sturdy leashes, and adhere precisely to your feeding and medication routines. You will always receive detailed daily updates and photos so you can rest easy knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Kassie was great with Sammy. We booked her last minute. She was willing to commit to our schedule, followed through with our requests, stayed in contact with us and sent us pictures and videos. We were very happy with her service and would use her again.”

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Quinte West 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 Quinte West 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 Quinte West 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 83% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
