About: For over three years, I traveled across Canada house sitting and caring for my hosts’ fur babies. I’ve looked after many furry friends with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I learned how to make each one feel safe and comfortable. Now that I’m settled in Collingwood, I’m excited to welcome fur babies into my own home. I work remotely, so your fur baby will never be left alone. I’m always home to keep them company, with regular walks, playtime, meals on schedule, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to follow your fur baby’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel right at home. Your fur baby’s safety and well-being are my top priority. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home, and I’ll send you photo updates so you always know how they’re doing. I follow your instructions on feeding, medication, and care, and I’ll always reach out if anything comes up. My goal is to give your fur baby a loving, secure place to stay while you’re away.
About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for caring for animals, with hands-on experience that started at just 4 years old and continues to this day. Growing up surrounded by pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding of both dogs and cats and their unique needs. My family and I currently care for four dogs and two cats, all of whom are a big part of our daily lives. Through this, I’ve gained experience with feeding routines, exercise, grooming, and providing a safe, loving environment. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for and support two litters of puppies, which gave me valuable experience with newborn care, monitoring development, and ensuring both the mother and puppies are healthy and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine love. I am currently a self employed day trader so I work in the morning 8am-11am so I am free anytime after that during the week mon-fri. On the weekends my schedule is open all day When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, walk times, and any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise based on their energy level and personality. For dogs, that includes walks, outdoor time, and engagement. For cats, I provide interaction, litter box cleaning, and a calm presence. I also prioritize keeping the home clean and organized—refreshing water bowls, cleaning up after pets, and making sure their space stays tidy. If needed, I can administer basic medications and keep a close eye on their health and behavior. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like they would with their owner.

“Abigail went above and beyond. From day 1 she kept us up to date on the goings on. I know our dog Bodhi will miss the attention she gave him 😁. I also feel like the house was in a better state than when we left. I would definitely recommend Abigail to anyone (and will be referring her to our friends).”
“Sophia looked after our golden retriever and our house for 24 days while we were out of country. She did an excellent job at taking care of our dog and our house was returned to us in excellent condition. Sophia was great at communicating with us while we were away. We would recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.”
“Natasha took care of my home and two pups for three days. She took the time to build a relationships with them and now I think they miss her more than they did me. She kept up their routines, including medication, and sent updates while we were away. Remi can’t wait for her next visit.”
About: I am a true animal lover. I would watch bunnies, birds, horses, lizards too. Cheetahs if I could haha. A fur baby is a family member and family is massively important. Rest assured; no matter the age, health or species, caregiving is what I'm made for...your fur baby is no different to me. Walks, play time, vet runs, cuddles, snackies and etc. Is always available with aunty Cheryl around 😊 Call me ahead of time and we'll work a schedule that will fit us both. I'm available most holidays too. Can't wait to meet you guys. I care for pets with patience, love , kindness, and attention to their individual needs. Communication and commitment is what makes the optimal safe environment. I follow pet mom/dad's instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and routines. Making sure pets have fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of attention and companionship. I understand and value that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel secure while their mom or dad is away.
About: I love animals, how can you not!? I would love nothing more than to provide great care for your furry family member while you’re away. There are lots of great hiking trails close to our house for walks and adventures. I understand the needs of animals and can communicate with them without words. They are magical creatures and deserve all the love. We promise to love on your pet and take the best care in your absence. I have a flexible schedule and work from home. Currently mornings start with a bathroom outing, followed by breakfast, playtime, another bathroom break, a hike and nap time, dinner, wind down, bathroom & bed -repeat : ) Routines are schedule around your existing rules and structures already in place.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ravenna 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 Ravenna 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 Ravenna 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. 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.
