About: My first pet as a kid was a cat my family rescued. When I was in high school I volunteered for 4 years at the Hamilton SPCA doing dog walks . And cats and small animal socializing. Career wise I worked in the child care field for 10+ years in different roles. In 2024 I changed jobs to house cleaning I also adopted a rescue senior cat that I later found out had diabetes in 2023 ❤️🩹 *** recent update . Because my landlady is also boarding dogs . And her place is small she asked that I no longer do it . My work schedule is flexible. But right now because I’m new on rover and things are slow I’m working mon - Fri So will be available for weekends . I can accommodate a week long booking I just need some notice to book the days off at work I care about animals like they are my own . And do my best to make sure they feel safe and loved and give them my time and attention , I do treat my experience as life long learning . I have a good friend who had her own private dog sitting business for over 10 years she did many workshops over the years she’s a wealth of knowledge for me . But I’m trying to catch up and learn about dog training and things like dog cpr online. So I can be the best dog and cat sitter for your beloved.
“Riley has been an amazing help with my small families life changes. She's flexible, punctual, and great at assisting using this app for us less tech savvy. Clearly has a big heart for the furry ones. Provides lots of details with pics every visit. I would recommend to anyone!”
“Stacey was great with our very shy young cat and won his trust enough for him to come out of hiding and show his face to get some treats and to play a bit. She kept us updated everyday with pictures which was great! We would definitely have her do drop in visits again with Freddy!🐈”
About: Friends and neighbours rely on me to care for their pets. My kids (9 + 6) also love to help provide love and care to the pets in our life. We currently dog sit for my friend’s floofy sheepadoodle in our home multiple times a year. We walk many neighbours dogs, and cat sit when they are away. I have also been a cat owner for most of my adult life. I am self employed and work from home therefore I have an extremely flexible schedule. My family recently adopted our own 5 year old Bernedoodle who is the silliest and most loving guy! My oldest kiddo play rep sports throughout the year which brings us on the road a lot for tournaments and travel games. Our new family member loves to travel in the car with us to outdoor games! If you are comfortable, we can also bring your dog to the ball park to enjoy some fresh air and extra cuddles. We often dog sit for friends at my home and are relied upon for pet sitting for family and friends at their home as well! We would love to meet you! I have a 4 level back split with a fully fenced yard on the central Hamilton mountain. My home is totally pet friendly although I don’t have any furry pets of my own presently (only tropical fish and betas 🙃). I have 2 young energetic kids who love animals and would be over the moon to help care for your fur babes!
About: I’m retired from the Pharmacy industry. (In my past Profession I had federal government clearance) If you have a pet that requires medication I’m the person for you. I have a very flexible schedule and have my own vehicle . I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. I’m not able to have pets where I live, so I figured this would be a great opportunity to meet new people. Plus put that missing piece back into my life. I believe pets keep you healthier and happier. They are a part of the family and should be treated with kindness and love. I sit for a couple in Florida that have three cats. They call me the cat whisperer! I have also house and dog sat for my girlfriend for many years. Hope to hear from you soon. Katharine

“Bill was great! He took the time to make sure our kitty was as happy and healthy as possible. When she stopped eating as much (something she does when we aren't around) he made sure we knew and gave us updates every day.”
About: I look like Hagrid, I love animals more than people, they can sense it and they love me back. Before the war in Ukraine, I regularly looked after my friends' pets when they were traveling or on vacation for three years. I'm currently looking for a job, so I have a lot of free time that I'm willing to dedicate to cats. Since childhood, I have loved cats, I always brought strays home from the street and asked my mother to leave them at our house) I regularly looked after my friends' cats in Ukraine when they were on vacation. For me, the most important thing is the comfort and freedom of the cat. Therefore, I am ready to carefully observe him and give him my care and love. If he wants to play with me, I will gladly do so...
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with deep, hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As the proud pet parent of an 11-year-old Yorkie and an 8-year-old shepherd mix, I understand firsthand that every dog has unique needs—whether that means keeping up with a high-energy herding breed or giving gentle, patient care to a cherished senior. Having navigated different life stages with my own furry family members, I am deeply comfortable with administering medication, managing dietary routines, adjusting exercise levels for older joints, and making sure every pup feels completely safe and loved. Your dogs will be treated like family under my care, receiving all the attention, play, and belly rubs they could possibly ask for! Finding a trustworthy pet sitter can feel stressful, but I strive to make it completely worry-free. Because I work entirely from home, your dogs will have a constant companion by their side all day long—no long hours alone in a strange place. My home is anchored by my two personal dogs: an 11-year-old Yorkie who knows how to take it easy and an 8-year-old shepherd mix with plenty of love to give. Having cared for them through different life stages, I am deeply attuned to the specific needs of seniors, high-energy breeds, and everything in between. Whether your pup needs gentle senior pacing or just wants someone to hang out with while you're away, they'll get all the attention, safety, and belly rubs they deserve here! I customize my approach depending on where we're hanging out, but the main thing is: I work from home, so your pets are never left hanging. They get my full attention, plenty of company, and regular breaks all day long. At my place: It’s super cozy and low-stress. Because I have an 11-year-old Yorkie and an 8-year-old shepherd mix of my own, I'm completely used to balancing different personalities and speeds. If your dog is a senior who just wants a quiet spot to snooze near my desk, or if they have more energy and need interactive playtime, I tailor things to them. I'm also totally comfortable giving medications or sticking to specific routines. At your place: I drop right into your household rhythm! I treat your space with complete respect, follow all your house rules down to the letter, and make sure your pets feel safe, fed on time, and loved while you're away so they don't miss a beat.

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 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!
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.
