“Haley was great! She communicated clearly, let us know when she was arriving and leaving and was a pleasure to work with. We will definitely have her take care of our pup again. Thank you Haley! ?”
About: I've had a pet for as long as I can remember. I'm now the proud owner of 2 cats and often help my mom take care of her 2 labs when she is out of town. I am good with daily care, play, and feeding for all breeds of cats and dogs. I am good with daily walks for dogs. I am especially good at bonding with cats, so if you need a cat sitter, I'm your guy! I work as a full time high school teacher. I am available before 8am and after 2:30pm on weekdays, and all day on weekends to care for your pets, while of course maintaining time to care for my own two cats as well. When I come by, I let the dogs out, refresh any water dishes, feed the pets according to your schedule, scoop any litter boxes, and spend some time with your pets. For dogs, I will take them for a walk around the neighbourhood and spend some time with them outside playing. For cats, I make sure they are behaving normally and spend some time just hanging out and letting them come to me. Regardless of the species, I will be spending time with them to make sure they are not feeling too lonely.
“Cassidy was great - very communicative and sent much appreciated updates and pictures of her visits. She also managed to give our stubborn old cat his meds and for that we were very grateful.”
“Laura was incredible while we were on vacation! She took fantastic care of our dog and even went above and beyond by looking after our cat, even though we hadn't officially booked cat service. Her updates were wonderful to receive while away, and her passion for animals is obvious. You won't regret hiring Laura!”

I can visit before work after work even stay over night when I’m working my regular job I have a fenced in back yard as well as a dog and a cat but would prefer to do visits in your house at this time.

“Paige did a great job of taking care of our dog and cat over the holidays. She provided updates and photos during every visit. I will definitely book her again and would highly recommend if you are looking for a pet sitter or dog walker.”
“Josie took excellent care of my cat while I was out of town for 7 days. My cat takes many different supplements and can be a bit stand offish with new sitters. Josie followed all my instructions and was in contact with me throughout her visits. I had installed two indoor cameras to watch my cat and used them to converse with Josie while I was away, I could see she really tried to get my cat to play and interact with her, even if my cat wasn't super interested in playing. I would recommend Josie to sit your fur babies and I'll be hiring her services again in future. Thanks Josie for caring for my baby! ?”
“Ashley is reliable, always on time, flexible, friendly and trustworthy. She was excellent with my pup and gave great care during an important stage of development. I would highly recommend her, a five star choice if you need care for your pet. I'll be requesting her in the future for sure.”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job checking up on Gregorie and making sure she was well. She was also kind enough to come a few days early to get a set of keys before we left for the weekend. Would definitely recommend Stephanie to check up on any pets!”

Fantastic cat sitter! Savannah visited weekly to manage feeding, water, and litter. She always sent pictures and was even kind enough to handle an extra request while we were traveling. Professional, accommodating, and great with communication. I will definitely recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!
My dog Chase was all happy in the pictures I was sent throughout the day. Kelly did an amazing job and I was getting feedback about her from my neighbors who said my dog looked really happy 😊. Will definitely be using Kelly's service again in the future next time I have to work a full day out of town.
Stephanie did a wonderful job checking in on my cat! My cat warmed up to her pretty fast and Stephanie sent lots of updates and pictures while I was away. I had no concerns leaving him with her and will definitely be reaching out again when I’m out of town next.

There are 28 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Sault Ste. Marie. About 89% of Sault Ste. Marie sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Sault Ste. Marie stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Sault Ste. Marie 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
