About: I grew up with two furry friends in my home, allowing me to learn how to properly care for dogs. My previous roommate was a dog sitter, so I have interacted with and helped her care for many breeds and personalities! I am willing to learn and adapt to how to best care for your furry friend. I am currently working from home and therefore i can be very flexible with walks or drop-ins throughout the day and evening. I can be available for same-day bookings. I follow all home security routines, keep doors and gates locked at all times, and never leave pets unattended in open yards. Please let me know your preferred emergency contact and local vet info before your trip.
“Lia was absolutely fantastic looking after our three dogs, Logan, Remi, and Harley! From the moment we met her, we knew they were in great hands. She was caring, reliable, and kept us updated, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of love and attention. It’s obvious that Lia genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Lia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter. Thank you, Lia, for taking such wonderful care of Logan, Remi, and Harley!”
About: I grew up in a home with cats and a dog! I now don’t have any pets and miss having a pet companion. Near the end of my dogs like she required extra care and medications. I have pet sit for friends many times (dogs and cats). I currently work a 9-5 job Monday to Thursday so I have weekends and evenings available to look after your pets! I can be flexible with remote work. When house sitting, my goal would be to make your pet fee comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I would follow their usual routine as closely as possible including meals, walks, playtime and any other specific instructions you provide. I would keep you updated with photos and check ins so you know how they’re doing.

“Selena was great! She kept us well informed throughout her stay with Margot, also being proactive in her communication when it seemed Margot wasn’t feeling 100%. Selena also left our house in amazing shape upon leaving!”
About: Hi! I’m Chelsea. What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and needs. I’ve cared for smaller dogs with health concerns, walked medium-sized dogs, and provided care for larger breeds. I’m also comfortable giving medications both orally and topically when needed. I have experience with puppy care and use positive reinforcement techniques to help with basic training and good behaviors. Most importantly, I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I work part-time with short shifts a few days per week, so my schedule is very flexible with the right notice. Your pets won’t be left alone for long, I make sure they get the attention, care, and comfort they deserve while you’re away When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime, and enjoy walks or outside time if needed. I keep their space clean and cozy and offer lots of attention, whether your pet prefers cuddles or just quiet company. I treat your home and your pets with respect, giving them the same level of care I give my own.
“Thank you so much for taking good care of Mickey 🙏🏽 from day 1 we noticed he really bonded with you and throughout your stay with him, you even taught him to lay down! Which is amazing and is a palpable feeling he really connected with you! Would really recommend you to all dog owners in my neighbourhood!”
About: I grew up with various pets and have always loved animals. I was trusted to walk and feed neighborhood dogs on numerous occasions. My family dog lived 13 years and our cat lived 20. I got my own dog as a puppy 5 years ago and did her training. I also got a kitten last year. I am currently working at home full time I have my own business and have a pretty flexible schedule for morning or afternoon pet care throughout the week I live in a quiet street with lots of green space and parks and trails close by. My dog is friendly and always loves a friend to play with. I also have a crate and baby gate if needed.
About: Friends, family, neighbours and strangers through word of mouth have asked me to keep their animals /feed them/ walk them/ house and dog sit etc for a long time between here in canada and home in Ireland. I love spending time with dogs and cats I work Monday to Friday during the day in my job therefore not free days during the week but can always stay with your pet and come back to them after work. That just needs to be the right fit for you :) I have a deep love for our furry friends in this world so doing this alongside my job brings me so much joy? I cant think of anything better actually I can't keep your dogs at my home I don't have the space or enough back yard space for them so I would be coming to you where your pets are most comfortable.
About: With over 26 years of experience as a pet parent to 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bunny and 2 guinea pigs, I now share my life with my greyhound, Bree. I'm certified in Pet First Aid and hold a Professional Pet Care Certificate, and I've volunteered with the Ontario SPCA since May 2015. I'm also pursuing certification as an ABC Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT) and Pet Massage Practitioner, and Bree & I are both proud members of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program. Giving back matters to me too: 10% of my profits go to an animal shelter of your choice, or I'm happy to pick one for you! In your home, I provide attentive daytime and evening care, including dog walks, meals, fresh water, baths, and litter box cleanup (and any other messes along the way!), plus plenty of play and cuddle time. I administer oral and topical medications as needed, and I log the date, time, and details of every visit so you always know exactly how things went. I also offer house-sitting support: collecting mail, newspapers, and packages; watering plants; and putting your garbage and recycling bins out on their scheduled days. I have a flexible work from home job that allows me to be flexible for your furry baby's need. That said, two day notice in advance would be ideal for me to move things around to accommodate your needs. I have a cat-like personality greyhound who is 5 year old. She loves her naps and if you looking for a friend for your furry friend who can provide some calm energy, look no further!
“Repeat client here! 👋🏻 Michelle is an ideal home/dog sitter and this is our 2nd time using her services. Her communication, attention to detail and overall care for both our chihuahuas and our home has been excellent and deeply appreciated!”
About: I spent a huge portion of my teenage-hood on a horse farm, surrounded by cats, dogs and horses. Last year a hosted a foster dog (4 y.o. Lab Mix) named Hippo with Redemption Paws (Non-for-Profit dog adoption organization in Ontario), and it was the most wonderful and gratifying experience, it taught me a lot about how dogs with anxiety should be approached and treated (Hippo went from hating his crate to chilling in it throughout the day within the 1.5 months I had him, all through positive reinforcement!). I often do dog walking and dog- and baby- sitting for friends and acquaintances on different occasions, as my love for animals and children constantly pushes me to be closer to them, especially if it helps their families. In Ukraine, where I moved from at the age of 17 back in 2017, I established a student volunteer organization to collectively feed and treat stray animals (gathering donations, etc). Right now in my own household I have two cats, but believe me when I say I am waiting for an opportunity to add a dog to our family pet division. By reading certified books on animal psychology (my favourite: “Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?” I've got a complete understanding of animal and pet main needs. The further I go through life, the more I realize how pets should be treated the same as respectful humans treat one another. I treat animals as equal companions, and communicate with them accordingly: with the use of positive reinforcement, physical encouragement like scratches, redirection of attention if needed, and engaging activities. My main goal while taking care of your pet is always to make sure they feel loved just the way they are loved by you, therefore I created a poll for my clients to fill out so that I know the best approach to each animal (provided after we start communication). With my endless energy resources, your pets won’t have the time to miss their beloved owner! Upon connecting, I always prefer to set up a call with my clients in order to talk through their expectations, routines, and any special preferences and notes before the first visit. I am rather flexible when it comes to dog sitting and dog walking, as well as cat care. The most important rule for me before spending time with your furry friend is to know how they interact with other dogs, and any information to note while being outside (squirrel/car reactivity, etc.) Weekdays I am flexible as I work from home (marketing coordinator) Weekends can be arranged for a full day or any time if agreed at least 4 days beforehand. Last minute inquiries are welcome in case I have an open window on a weekend. I follow the owner’s instructions to make sure the pup / kitty feels loved and taken care of. Each animal is unique and I find the right approach with your help!

“Kassandra house sat for us and looked after my dog Ollie while we were away over the weekend. Ollie had a blast and I felt better knowing that Ollie was being so well taken care of. Kassandra sent us lots of pictures and updates which was really nice and she left our house spotless. Thanks again Kassandra!!!”
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: 1. I trained my own doggie. And he had a very good behaviour. And my training method is not violent, I use food and treat them when they doing the things right. 2. I am patient with all kinds of dog. 3. Experienced in all kinds of situations I work from home, so I am pretty flexible in schedule. And also, please make sure 2 day in advance. So that I could plan and interview the dog. I lived in a house with fenced and dog park round. I could live in clients house or either my house. No need to worried.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sharon
Finding the right person to care for your dogs is never easy, especially when you have two energetic six-month-old puppies. Deborah exceeded every expectation. Her energy matched theirs perfectly, and it was clear from the start that she is not only a wonderful caregiver but also highly experienced with young dogs. What impressed us most was her commitment to maintaining the training and routines we had been working so hard to establish. That consistency was incredibly important to us, and it gave us complete confidence that our puppies were in excellent hands. Deborah was also exceptionally flexible and accommodating as our travel plans unexpectedly changed throughout the week. Her willingness to adjust her schedule without hesitation made an already stressful situation so much easier. We returned home to two happy, well-cared-for puppies, and we are genuinely grateful for the care, professionalism, and peace of mind Deborah provided. We would recommend her without hesitation and look forward to having her care for our dogs again.
This was my very first time leaving my fur baby and I can only try to express how amazing Ella was overall. I have major issues with anxiety and OCD, however she was so patient with me and answered all my questions prior to us leaving. She was nothing short of amazing as she kept me updated each day and when we came home it was obvious my fur baby absolutely loved his time with her as he didn’t want her to leave. We will definitely be having her back again!
Ella house sat and watched our two big dogs for a week. The boys had loads of fun, great walks, and the house was really clean when we came home! We have a reactive anxious dog and she was able to accommodate his crazy :) - would def recommend and we will be using again.

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 Sharon 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 Sharon 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 Sharon 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.
