“Danika must have super powers. My cat is very shy/scared and Danika had him cuddling in less than 20 mins. I knew my baby was in safe capable hands after that. She made sure my kitty had adequate snuggles and play time and took the cutest photos of him. I am actually still shocked that my cat wasn’t hiding for the week straight. She went above and beyond and brushed him too!! I came home to some adorable Polaroids of my baby as a gift it was so thoughtful. Thank you so much Danika!!!”

“Elena was fantastic when looking after my mother's cat, Suzie, while she was away on holidays. I very much appreciated the videos, photos and reports every drop in visit. We could be assured Suzie was in great care. Elena was always prompt responding to messages. I definitely hire Elena again.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve personally had four cats over the years, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, different personalities, and giving cats the space they need to feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience dog sitting, including caring for an older Australian Shepherd. I understand that every pet has their own routine, energy level, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to keep them comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient with shy or nervous animals and understand that some pets may prefer to hide or take their time warming up to someone new. Whether your pet wants lots of attention and playtime or simply needs someone dependable to check in, provide fresh food and water, clean up, and make sure everything is okay, I’m happy to help! I work full-time as a chiropractor here in Sarnia, but my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine! During the week, I have a 1.5-hour lunch break from 12:00–1:30 PM, which gives me the opportunity to come home or stop in for midday visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I’m finished work by 6:00 PM each day, so I’m available for evening walks, drop-ins, feeding, and quality time with your pets. On Fridays, I’m available after 4:00 PM, and I have good availability on most weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet sitting fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual schedule as much as possible so they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own! 🐾 I know that each cat or dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and take the time to help their pet feel safe and comfortable with me. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles (if they want them!), and regular walks or potty breaks for dogs. For cats, I’m happy to clean litter boxes, provide enrichment and playtime, and give them affection while also respecting their space and independence. I also understand how reassuring updates can be when you’re away, so I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. ❤️

About: My husband and I shared our home with Duke, a silly, loving rescue who was part of the family for eight years. He taught us that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and story, and I bring that same patience and love to every dog I care for. Before Duke, I worked as a dog walker, so I'm experienced with small and large breeds and comfortable with any harness, gear, or ability level. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and plenty of patience for anxious or reactive pups. I'm experienced with leash pulling, reactivity, and separation anxiety, and I'll go at your dog's pace to build trust. Because I come to your home, your dog gets to stay in their own familiar space, which is especially comforting for seniors and nervous dogs. For energetic dogs, I love long adventurous hikes. I have lots of free time and give every visit my full attention. I'll keep you in the loop with photos, videos, daily written updates, and calls or texts whenever you'd like. Your dog will be treated like family! My schedule is very flexible. I can accomodate pretty much any walk times, last-minute requests, early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays (except Christmas day). Whether your schedule changes at the last minute or you need a midday walk, I can almost always make it work. I'm doing gig work all winter this year, and getting to spend time with animals is a great bonus. I never have to rush your dog through a walk or cut a visit short. Every visit gets my full attention, and your pet will absolutely get the time they deserve. For longer term visits, my husband would come sit with me too. He works remotely and this winter we'll primarily be living at his parents' place - so we're also hoping to find opportunities to get out of the house for a few days. He's as big an animal lover as I am, and will bond with your pets instantly. I come to you, so your pet can stay in their own familiar space with their own bed, toys, and routine. I am great at learning pet routines, quirks, and preferences, from their favorite walking route to what helps them relax or sets them off. I will follow your instructions closely, whether that's a particular harness, a feeding schedule, or a few extra minutes of cuddles. For walks, I match your dog's pace and energy. That might be an hours long adventurous hike for an active pup or a slow, gentle stroll for a senior. After every visit, you'll get photos, videos, and a written update, and I'm always happy to text or call if you'd like. I leave your home exactly as I found it, and I treat your pet like my own.

Alyssa was great with our cat. Her communication with us was fantastic, and sent pictures and updates every day. We only had her service for a few days, but next time away, we would love to have her for the entire week. Thank you Alyssa, you're awesome.

We had such a great experience with Layney! She was incredibly attentive, reliable, and responsive from the very beginning. Communication was excellent—she was always quick to respond to texts and calls, which gave us so much peace of mind. Layney arrived right on time, stayed for the entire scheduled visit, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. Most importantly, she was wonderful with Minnow. He absolutely loved her and was clearly very comfortable with her, which means everything to us. We felt completely confident having Layney care for Minnow and will absolutely be booking with her again. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring pet sitter!

Danika showed such a level of genuine care for our two cats. This was our first Rover experience and longest time away from them. Danika gave us peace of mind with her communication throughout and with the level of detail and photos she provided. Our one cat (Tay) had a number of large mats we'd been having difficulty getting out, Danika worked her magic and got them out in just a few visits!! The fact that she built that level of trust with Tay so quickly speaks volumes! Highly recommend Danika and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future! Thank you so much for looking after our critters!!

We were anxious as this was our first time ever using a service to have anyone watch our two dogs, and Veronika made us feel so comfortable. She did a wonderful job with the check-ins, provided great communication, and sent the best pictures of our boys. We will absolutely be booking again!❤️

Sebastian was amazing! Communicated very well. Super attentive to my rabbits needs. He even vacuumed up Bunnis' mess for me. He sent pictures of his litter box and food area, and some sweet pics of him getting his daily pets. I felt like I could trust him right away. Bunnis loves him which is a relief. I'm so happy to have found a reliable bun sitter. I have already booked him for my next trip. Highly reccomend him!

Maria took care of our cat Smokey while we went on vacation for a week. She did a fantastic job as evident by the pictures, the cleanliness of the litter box, the floor around it, his dishes and how he seemed when we got home. We will definitely rebook her in future if she is available. The Kirkbrides

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 Sarnia 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 .

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 .

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, 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.
