“Jacobe is very kind and great at communicating with you. He always gets back to us and provided videos from his first visit. He came by for a meet and greet beforehand at no charge and it’s obvious he loves and has experience with animals. Thank you, Jacobe!”

“Logie and her husband were very kind when they came over for a meet and greet, beforehand. The drop in visit they did for me after went very well. They are a very nice family and my dogs looked very happy from the pictures we received. I would book again.”

“First time using the app and having anyone new to our dog come in and check in on him. Communication with Nicole was easy and she responded quickly. We felt very comfortable with her and trusted her with our dog. We left a list of instructions and she happily followed them with no gripes (thank you!). We were nervous about how our dog would react but based on pictures she sent our dog looked very calm and comfortable with her. We couldnt be happier with our first Rover experience and our interactions with Nicole. Would definitely rebook again!”

About: My brother got a puppy while he lived with us, so I have quite a lot of experience training a puppy german shephard! I have babysat for him many times for many months at a time, taking care of all 110lb of him with no issues. Caesar loves spending the weekends with me, his aunty, as we get many walks and lots of play time in the evening. Keeping his energy in check has never been an issue for the past 6 years! I am a student who studies often, so I am usually home completing assignments and studying for exams. Since I am free during the day, especially in the summer months, I think dog sitting fits my very flexible schedule! I will always respect another clients home, including removing my shoes before entering and making sure I do not make a mess. My parents also like to keep their house clean even when my brother's dog visits, and I always help clean any messes made including wet paw prints or muddy shoes! I will also be aware that some dogs are nervous and require time to adjust to me entering their space, so spending some time in their comfort area may allow them to trust me better, before taking them out for a walk or having a play date.
About: Whether your big dog needs to burn some energy on a long walk, or your little furry friend needs a quick trip outside and some couch cuddles. I’m here to help! I grew up around dogs. Over the years my family has had Cocker Spaniels, Chocolate Labs, Weimaraners, and even a Great Dane! Seven years ago I adopted a Mini Dachshund full of love, and stubbornness, who taught me the importance of proper training! Last year when she suffered an IVDD set back. I learnt about a whole new level of care, from bladder expression to wheelchair use. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to keep your dogs happy and healthy! I work as a freelance writer, so have an amazingly flexible schedule that will allow me to find the perfect time to come hag out with your pet! Primarily looking to come drop in or take your dog for a walk in your neighbourhood. But I do I live on a large farm with over a km of walking trails if you want me to pick them up and take them on a outdoor adventure! I have a special needs dog, but if your dogs temperament is the right fit. I’d be happy to have them in my home for day care or overnights.
“This was the first time since my dog had been diagnosed with diabetes that we had to leave her with a pet sitter. I was a bit nervous about the thought of someone other than me having to give her an insulin injection, but Sarah did a fantastic job. I felt very reassured by Sarah's competence and professionalism, and will definitely have her again.”

“Maddie is great! She’s been doing daily check ins with my two dogs and has been very reliable. She always fills out a great Rover card! I love getting her updates and pictures. The dogs seem happy and taken care of :) Thank you Maddie!”

About: Dogs and puppies are my passion! I dreamed of working with dogs as a little girl and now that is my reality! I have been working with dogs for about 18 years now. I have worked and trained many puppies as well as rescue dogs. I have worked in kennels and doggy daycares, with the pups as well as managing. I have also volunteered for humane societies and fostered rescue dogs. I was on the dog team at the alliston humane society for many years. I work from home so I am mostly at home, other than running errands and attending a few programs throughout the week. Typically I wouldn’t be out of the house for more than a few hours at one time. Dogs staying with us should be comfortable around children, kitties and preferably other pups. We provide lots cuddles and play time (if they want it!).
“Bridget came to feed our bunny Dennis a handful of times over the long weekend. She did an amazing job, changing his litter and brushing him even though we did not request that. She went over and above and met all of our needs and more. Will definitely have her back.”

About: Lifelong Animal Lover With 10+ Years Vet Experience 🐾 Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Bailey, and I offer in-home pet boarding, daycare, and care for small to medium dogs, cats, and small animals. My pricing is set at what I believe is a fair reflection of my experience in the veterinary industry, the quality of care I provide, and the time dedicated to your pet. At the same time, I work hard to keep my services affordable because I understand firsthand how expensive being a pet parent can be. My goal is to provide trusted, professional care without adding financial stress. I’ve worked in the veterinary field for over 10 years, and I now work from home for a pet microchip company—meaning I’m available, attentive, and trained to notice even the smallest changes in your pet’s behavior or health. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly chihuahuas, two bunnies, and 3 pet rats, all of whom are used to meeting new animals and do great with visitors. I also have a gentle, animal-loving 7-year-old who has grown up around pets and understands how to treat them with care and respect. Animals have been my passion since childhood, and I love creating a calm, fun, and secure environment where your pet can feel like part of the family. Whether your pet needs cuddles, playtime, supervision, or just a quiet place to relax, I’m here to make their stay safe and enjoyable. If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your furry (or fluffy!) family member! I currently work from home for a pet microchip company—so I’m home and available all day. Since the company is very pet-friendly, they’re incredibly accommodating when it comes to things like background noise, potty breaks, or anything else your pet may need. Plus, my own 2 dogs are home with me all day and would love to play with your pet! When your pet is in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own! They have full access to the couch and all areas of my pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment. You’re welcome to bring any personal items—beds, blankets, toys, or anything that helps your pet feel more at home—but we also have plenty of toys and treats here for them to enjoy. My two dogs use pee pads during the winter months, but I’m absolutely able to take your dog out for walks if that’s part of their routine. If your pet is also pee-pad trained, that works perfectly for us.

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 Shelburne 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.

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.
