“Ashton was wonderful. She used her initiative to decide how to walk, our not walk our senior dog and ensure our 1 year old was well walked each day. She was punctual and ensured we got timely updates and photos. We highly recommend her services.”
“Myriam was prompt, professional and a fantastic communicator. We’re grateful for her compassion and attention to detail when it came to caring for our 2 cats. We will absolutely be booking with Myriam again in the future! Thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 12 years, and dogs are my biggest passion. I’ve fostered everything from whole litters of puppies to pregnant moms, energetic young dogs and sweet seniors, so very little surprises me anymore. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I adjust my care to fit each dog’s age, energy level and personality. I have two dogs of my own, and I take turns watching four more in my extended family, so there’s almost always a pup in my life. I’m experienced with helping senior dogs with mobility issues, whether that means slower walks, a hand getting up, or a little extra patience. I can also give medications at scheduled times, as long as you leave clear instructions. Your dog will get plenty of exercise with me. That could be a long walk or a game of fetch in a backyard or fenced area. Rain, snow or shine, walks still happen! Your dog’s safety matters to me, so while they’re in my care they won’t be around any unfamiliar dogs or animals. I’m also happy to help with grooming and extra care, like brushing their fur, brushing their teeth, cleaning their ears or putting balm on their paws. Just ask ahead of time and tell me how your pet usually reacts to these things so I can keep them comfortable. Before I walk or watch your pet, please share anything I should know, like their behaviours, medications, quirks and favourite routines. The more I know, the more at home they’ll feel. I’ve also cat sat for a few years. I’m not a cat expert, but I’m confident handling their routines and happy to follow your instructions. I’m comfortable with most other animals too. I’m currently in school, but I only have classes for a few hours each day, so I have plenty of free time for walks, drop-ins and sitting during the week. I also work one evening shift a week, which is only a few hours. My weekend availability changes because I sometimes go home for the weekend, so please message me ahead of time and I’ll let you know if I’m around. Keeping my calendar up to date is a priority for me, so you’ll always know when I’m free. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, safety comes first. I keep the space clean and pet-safe, and I’m careful about keeping doors and gates closed so no one can slip out. At my place, we have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and get some fresh air safely. In your home, I’ll follow your routines and house rules so your pet feels comfortable and things stay just how you left them.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Through my Veterinary Assistant program at St. Lawrence College, I have gained hands-on experience working with both cats and dogs, learning how to safely handle and restrain them, understand their behaviours, and recognize their individual needs. My education has also given me a better understanding of animal health, proper care, and the importance of making animals feel safe and comfortable. Outside of school, I have experience raising and caring for my own two cats and dog, which has taught me so much about the patience, time, and attention that goes into being a pet owner. From keeping up with their daily routines and making sure they are happy and healthy to getting to know their different personalities and quirks, I truly enjoy being around animals. I am a patient, caring, and attentive person who loves getting to know each animal and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I have lots of availability during the afternoons and on weekends, but I'm also more than happy to communicate and adjust scheduling needs whenever possible. I'm always willing to accommodate where/if I can! I would care for pets in a client's home just as I care for my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a large-breed dog of my own who lives with me in an apartment, so we're very used to staying active through daily walks, trips to the park, and finding ways to burn off energy. This has taught me how important regular exercise, patience, and keeping pets entertained can be. I'm also comfortable with crating when needed, and I understand that every pet has their own routines, preferences, and needs. I would always do my best to keep their routine consistent, give them lots of attention, and make sure they feel right at home!
“Britney was a fantastic sitter for my two cats. I’m a bit of a worry wart when it comes to leaving my cats, and she was so patient with me and understanding. And of course, she was amazing with my cats!!”
“Thanks again for watching the boys ! Ingrid had great communication and sent pictures of the boys living their best life which gave me peace of mind as I had gone out of country and my husband was working long hours. Will consider for future needs!”
About: I absolutely love animals! I have a one year old mini golden doodle named Daisy. I have lots of experience with both animals and have studied animals psychology so I am very familiar with pet behaviour! I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I am a part-time elementary teacher and have some half week days free as well as weekends! I can be flexible with my schedule! I have a fenced backyard. I have a lot of experience taking care of others’ pets and following a bathroom and feeding schedule as well!
About: Van and I have had lots of past experience with taking care of dogs! We have both had labrador retrievers, shepherds, Alaskan Malamute, border collies etc. We currently have a 12 month old labrador/husky that we rescued when she was 9 weeks old. She enjoys playing with other dogs and we have trained her in many domains. she currently knows: sit, stay, down, back up, waiting at doors, paw, high five, spin, around, crate, support, hug, off, leave it, and are working on much more. We would be happy to help train your puppy/dog if you are currently working on anything! Van works full time, however I work part-time and thus some days potty breaks will be 0-2 hours, however other days it may be every 4 hours. On the weekends, we would be able to take them out 0-2 hours :) We have a partially fenced yard and our dog goes on a long tie to ensure she stays safe! She is crate and house trained and usually stays in her crate throughout our work days to ensure she is safe as she still likes to chew on wires! Our puppy and your dogs safety is our number 1 priority :)
About: I have taken care of dogs since my family adopted our first miniature schnauzer when I was seven. Since then I have adopted two adult cats and have tried to spend as much of my free time as possible around animals of all kinds. I work full time, but am available for mornings, evenings, weekends and overnights. I work remotely two days for week and have some flexibility in my hours at my day job. My cats have been on special diets or medications at times and I am comfortable accommodating this. I can work with cats of any temperament, my own youngest was semi-feral when she joined my family. I am comfortable providing enrichment, crating and walking dogs of any size! I definitely have a soft spot for terriers!
About: My family has owned a pet sitting business for 20 plus years. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am a university student with a super flexible schedule. I am available 7 days a week! I can also tailor based on clients needs I treat all pets as I would my own. It is my priority to ensure I follow all client preferences and maintain the routine that the pets have with their owners.

Home owner of 10 years in a safe neighbourhood 🏡 I have a fenced in backyard for your dog to play in and do their buisness!

About: I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs. I’ve worked with all breeds, including reactive dogs, leash pullers, and high-energy dogs, and I adjust my approach based on their behaviour and comfort level. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic training and sticking to routines to keep dogs happy and safe. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I have a consistent routine and can plan my day around visits, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m reliable and make it a priority to stick to each pet’s schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I make sure they are safe at all times, follow any specific instructions closely, and keep a clean and calm environment. I’m very attentive to details like doors, leashes, food, and water to ensure everything is secure and comfortable for the pet. My goal is to build trust so pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve been caring for our family pets and my own pets my entire life. I’ve provided a home for both cats and dogs with a variety of different personalities and needs. I’ve been trusted with walking, feeding and watching my family and friends fur babies on many occasions. My goal is that every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I’m currently a student. I’m available between classes for potty breaks, walks, or some play time. I am also available after classes, time will vary based on my schedule, and weekends. I have two lovely cats in my apartment, one of which will be your pets best friend, and the other prefers to keep to herself. I will do my best to ensure your pet sticks to their regular routine, whether it’s in my home or yours.
About: Growing up I had the chance to raise and take part in the training of my own family pets as well as helping out with friends animals. I’ve had lots of experience house sitting for family friends for pets with all different needs:) I’ve participated in training classes, bathing, medication, walking and over night stays with no problems! If you would like references they are available as well :) I am currently working full time as a Recreation Therapist, in my spare time i would love the opportunity to help you and your family out! At home I have a puppy of my own, so I would prefer to over night stays and visits in clients homes however, she is very happy with all animals and very loving so if ever there was a need for a stay at my house it is fenced in and all “animal proofed“ already!
About: I grew up with five dogs, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including anxious pups who need extra patience and love. I’ve run my own dog walking business and have worked at two dog kennels (one of which I’m currently at) and I truly treat every animal like they’re my own. 🐾 I currently work part-time on weekends, which gives me plenty of availability during the week to focus on pet care. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust visits and walks to fit your pet’s needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and comfortable. I carefully follow all instructions and give plenty of love and patience (especially to anxious or shy pets) while always respecting your home so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Certainly! Here’s an extended version with a few more lines to make your answer more detailed and impressive: --- I have over 8 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet sitter, and I also care for two pets of my own — a playful dog and a senior cat — so I understand the daily needs, personalities, and quirks that make each pet unique. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my genuine love for animals and my ability to connect with them on a deeper level. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies needing consistency and training, to older pets who require medication, mobility assistance, and extra TLC. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, crate training, leash manners, and socialization. I also have experience dealing with rescue animals and those with anxiety or behavioral issues, always using a gentle and reassuring approach. Pet safety is my top priority. I stay alert, follow detailed care instructions, and maintain regular communication with pet parents through updates and photos. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, patience, and respect. I work from Monday to Friday from 9 to 5.After that and before that I am available and I can sit with your pet at night Here’s a well-rounded answer to the **“Safety, trust & environment”** question, written from your perspective as an experienced cat sitter and pet sitter who may care for pets either in your own home or the client’s home: --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or my client’s, safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions precisely — including feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any household rules their pet is used to. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences and behaviors so I can provide a familiar, low-stress environment while their family is away. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space that is free from hazards. I ensure secure windows and doors, use pet-safe cleaning products, and have separate, quiet areas available if a pet needs space or time to adjust. My own pets are well-socialized, and I carefully supervise all interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos to build trust with pet parents, showing them that their pet is in good hands. Whether in my home or theirs, I aim to create a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shannons Corners
Buddy had the best care while we were away. Normally, he’s pretty aloof and skittish, so we’re always reluctant to leave him. However, Katherine sent us regular photo updates of him living his good life, which put us at ease while we were away. I highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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.
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 Shannons Corners 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 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.
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, 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.
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.
