Comfortable with various sized and temperaments in dogs and will treat them like family :) mostly work from home so have plenty of time with the pups, they can join me on walks and love having them around as company 🤍 I have a large fenced in deck and yard for opportunity for the dogs to run as well as space inside for them to roam around
“I didn’t know how Rover would work but Rylie made this the best experience that we could ask for. Super communicative, reliable and caring. Never a worry about our dogs when she was with them!”
About: I grew up with pets and love taking care of them. My first pet Barney was my best friend growing up. We would play every day and I would feed her, brush and bathe her and clean her litter. She was a special part of the family for 16 years. My next pet Aiden was a very special part of my life. I always took good care of him and he was a real comfort to me when I was feeling down. I had another pet Rambo who just recently passed. She was almost 17 years old. I saved her because nobody wanted her and we always had a special bond. I appreciate their unique personalities. I am very caring and gentle. I currently work for Vogue Models & Talent which is based in Hamilton, Toronto and Vancouver. It's a fun and creative job and I enjoy it very much. I have a fenced in yard and my house is very clean and safe. I always keep my eye on the pets I care for.
“It was my first time having Michelle walk Bella, and I couldn’t be happier. She was punctual, professional, and clearly very experienced with dogs. Bella absolutely loved her right away, which says a lot. She took the time to make Bella feel comfortable and gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals - cats, dogs, birds, Guinea pigs .. you name it! Today I share my home with a playful 2 year old Corgi, a 4 year old Pug and even a pet crab belonging to my eldest daughter! I truly adore animals and find caring for them to be one of the most joyful ways to spend my days. I’ve fostered, boarded and walked dogs regularly, so your furry friends will be in loving, experienced hands! I am currently available Monday - Friday from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM for drop ins and walks. I am open for reoccurring time slots as well. I am also available on weekends with 5 days notice! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I treat every animal like my own, ensuring calm, loving and secure environment during walks and drop-ins. I’m attentive to their routines, keep a close eye on surroundings, and communicate clearly with owners every step of the way. You can trust that your furry friends is in safe, caring hands!
About: I’ve had/taken care of many different types of dogs/cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up with alot of animals in the house and currently have 4 dogs & 3 cats at home! I just moved back to Niagara and I’m looking to hangout with some cats and/or walk some pups in my downtime to get them and myself outside a bit! I usually live in a van fulltime so I can’t take animals into my home but I’d love to come take them for a walk to get out during the day!
About: I have had dogs nearly my entire life and love their individual personalities and quirks. I have experience pilling animals, and can help trim nails/bathe pets as needed. I am available 24/7, 365, as long as I have proper notice. I know emergencies can happen and because I make my own work schedule, I can be available when you need. I have a one bedroom apartment, so would be best suited for cat sitting, small - medium sized dogs that would enjoy a residential neighborhood or small park walks. In your environment, I'm happy to follow any specific rules or needs you may have for home or pet care! There is no request too strange to ensure the safety and comfort for you and your animals!
About: I’m an outdoorsy girl with a big heart for dogs and a love of adventure. Seeing them happy genuinely matters to me, and I’ll go the extra mile for a wagging tail—whether that’s a walk full of interesting sniffs, extra playtime, or quiet company. With so much nature around me, there’s plenty to explore. Sunny days or snowy ones, I’m happy to head outside when it’s safe, always keeping your dog’s comfort, routine, and energy level in mind. I treat animals like my own children. Your dog’s little quirks, favourite games, and need for reassurance matter to me, because I want them to feel loved and secure while you’re away. Spending time outdoors is already a part of my life, so walks, fresh air, and adventures fit naturally into my routine. When caring for a pet, I plan around their feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and need for company. I make room for both the practical care and the little extras—playtime, cuddles, and time to settle in and feel comfortable. I care for pets like they’re my own children... with love, patience, and attention to the little things that help them feel safe. Before caring for them, I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs, so I can follow your instructions and keep things familiar. In your home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s usual routine, from meals and walks to litter care and favourite resting spots. In my home, I focus on helping them settle in comfortably, with introductions and time to explore at their own pace. Walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are always suited to your pet and the weather, with plenty of rest and affection along the way. I’m also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your loved one is doing.
About: Ever since I’ve known, my family has had multiple pets including many dogs. My wife and I have looked after numerous dogs from friends and family and also had a Cockapoo of our own that sadly passed in 2018. I have a lot of patience and willing to have an enjoyable time with any dog I have been retired since 2024 and am looking at filling some of my time looking after dogs and getting some exercise while walking your dog I would safely walk your dog and pu after it and make sure every precaution is taken to keeping your dog safe from other dogs or people if needed
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I started going door to door in my neighbourhood offering dog walking when I was around 7 years old, and I’ve always loved spending time with animals. I’ve had many different dogs over the years, including a Yorkie Shih Tzu, Vizsla, Border Collie, Chocolate Lab, Pitbull Lab mix, Golden Retriever, and a mixed breed, so I’ve gotten to experience lots of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve spent lots of time training my own dogs, practicing tricks, leash manners, recall, and basic commands. I’ve also helped with grooming, brushing, bathing, nail care, and just making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Growing up, I was always the person my neighbours trusted to watch their dogs while they were away. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and what makes them happy. My schedule is pretty much always open. I’m free mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need someone last minute, a quick walk, or someone to hang out with your dog while you’re gone, I’m happy to help. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so I know they’re family. I’ll make sure your dog gets lots of love, attention, playtime, fresh water, and of course treats (if allowed 😊). If I’m in your home, I’ll always clean up after myself and leave it cleaner than when I got there. I live on an acreage with a big fenced yard, so there’s lots of room to run and play. I also have a long leash outside for dogs that like a little more freedom but still need to stay on a leash. I have two dogs of my own—Pepper (3) and Jaxson (11). They’re both super sweet, but if your dog isn’t good with other dogs, that’s totally okay. Mine can stay downstairs while your pup has the upstairs all to themselves. My house is non-smoking, and I have extra toys, bowls, and lots of dr treats. I honestly just love dogs and would love to hang out with yours. :)
About: I come from Ecuador where having a dog as part of the family is very common - so as a dog-lover here in Port Colborne, I am happy to provide the wise loving care you want for your pup. I have a sweet female 2-year-old golden doodle who is totally part of my family. I’d welcome your dog, too - whether it’s for a walk, a day-long play date, or a sleep over. When caring for pets, I feed them, give them fresh water, walk or play with them, and clean up after them. I make sure they're comfortable and happy.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular schedule, provide updates with photos, and ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. Safety, patience, and compassion are my top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of companionship. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member will feel comfortable and secure. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I’d give my own.
About: I have cared for pets from friends and family and have experience working with rescue dogs who needed extra patience, understanding, and care due to behavioral challenges. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently working part-time so I am flexible and available to meet your needs! My weekends are usually free, and so are my mornings and afternoons. I have a fenced backyard, and a 2 year old prince, Atlas, who is an outdoor cat and can be of lovely company. I live on a quiet street and near lots of greenery and scenic pathways. Perfect for long enjoyable walks.

About: I have had cats and dogs since I was a baby! But I’ve been more responsible (walking, feeding, taking them to the vet) since I was about 12 years old. I work from home! So I can take breaks as needed to care for your pets, my schedule is very flexible! Working from home is also a great advantage if your pet needs someone to hangout with during the day. I am an animal lover, and I’ll do everything to make sure every pet feels safe and loved while I’m my car. My house has a fenced yard and I live about a block away from the park!

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.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Sims Lock. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Sims Lock after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Sims Lock with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 Sims Lock 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!
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.
