“We are so grateful to have found Sarah to watch our cats while we were away. One of our cats is extremely timid and Sarah was very kind and patient with her - she's the only cat sitter that our girl has ever liked. We appreciated the detailed updates and photos. It brought us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be hiring Sarah to watch our cats in the future.”
“Luisa has been so great with walking our dog Chloe that we decided to try a drop-in booking. She listened to instructions clearly and Chloe had her dream date with Luisa. She fed her dinner, hung out and watched Bluey and even got a walk out of the deal - dream date. Luisa has been our go-to trusted dog sitter and we will continue to rebook with her.”
“Lise & Luwam did a great job looking after our cats while we were away! They sent photos of our cats having a great time and were communicative. We will certainly book them again.”
“Audrey was wonderful with our cat, Timbit. She sent great daily updates with photos, followed all feeding and litter instructions perfectly, and we came home to a very relaxed and happy kitty. We will definitely book with her again. Thankyou Audrey!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past five years through dog sitting for family and friends, as well as regularly walking and caring for my own dogs. I have experience with feeding, walks, playing, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and am excited to build more experience and meet new furry friends caring for dogs through Rover. My availability changes throughout the year as I balance school. Whenever I have free time, I’d love to spend it caring for your pet! I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and communicate clearly so you know exactly when I’m available. I always follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, or lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with any questions I may have, messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy getting to know each one’s unique personality! I’m comfortable with everyday care including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I also have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand they may need extra patience, gentler activity, and care. I’m experienced with giving oral medications when needed and am comfortable following specific care instructions. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a cozy day on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. I work full-time Monday to Friday, so my availability for dog walking and drop-in visits is primarily in the evenings (5PM onwards) and on weekends I am available any time. I’m happy to discuss my availability to make sure each pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and happy! I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other special needs.

About: I have 25+ years experience of owning dogs, cats, fish and a leopard gecko. I have experience walking large dogs, small dogs and puppies. I was a volunteer for 4+ years and now have been a cat fostering for 2+ years with the humane society. My career is in animal care and I’ve worked with a large variety of species from parrots to raccoons to snakes. I’ve worked at a polar bear sanctuary, as a wildlife rehabilitator, a researcher and a zookeeper. My patience and keen eye for detail have allowed me to excel in my career. I am reliable, responsible and safety oriented. Any behavioural training I have done at my jobs has been positive reinforcement and the skills are directly transferable to dogs and cats (I’ve even trained my own cats to shake paws, weigh themselves on a scale and walk on a leash). My availability is flexible. I can guarantee that your babies will be well looked after under my care 🩷. My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I have availability every day of the week and will keep my calendar up to date. My availability will change come September. I will ask you what your needs are for the visit and your pets’ routines. I keep a notebook with all the details. I prefer to do a meet and greet beforehand so that you can show me where items are located and any specific training that needs to be done. I am comfortable doing positive reinforcement training.
About: I've been around animals my entire life! Growing up we've always had multiple pets in our home. We've raised kittens into cats and puppies into dogs, all of this providing me with excellent hands-on experience with every stage of care in an animals life. Since I was 10, I've been responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after them. Now at 21, I’ve taken my dogs through training courses and have had plenty of experience caring for pets when my parents travel—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved! I am entering a full time job where I will work weekdays 9-5 but I have nights and weekends off and would love to help care for your furry friends! Although my yard is unfenced, I’m more than happy to take your dogs out multiple times a day and go outside with them on a leash to run and play. I’ll also gladly accommodate any specific requirements you have to ensure you and your pet feels safe and comfortable.
“Tessa was so great when we left her to care for our cat. Even though her time got cut short because of some hiccups on my part, I felt so comfortable and confident that Kitchi was in good hands. Thank you so much!!”
“I’m so so grateful for Jessica. I booked her services in such a short notice and she was super accommodating. She would keep me updated with videos, pics and details about how my baby was doing (my cat Simon), which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Also, Simon really seemed to like her company and energy. I would recommend her 100% - She’s friendly, caring, diligent, enthusiastic and very kind. Thank you so much Jessica, I’m very glad I found you!!!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats of my own, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities and needs. I also have personal experience with anxious dogs because of my own dog. I’m currently in undergrad with the goal of going to veterinary school in the future, so caring for animals is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I’m attentive and want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. This is my second Rover account, as I previously deleted my old account, because of that, I don’t currently have reviews on this profile, but i’d be happy to provide references from past clients if you’d like! I’m available basically eveeyday of the week as I currently don’t have any other job. We can talk more about the details when we get in touch. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they are stress free. I ensure they are fed on time, walked or exercised as needed, and given lots of attention. I also keep the space clean and provide updates to the owner.
About: I have full availability, I can respond for same day situations requiring last minute care in emergencies or vacation. Weekend coverage is not a problem. Im retired and available any day for drop in visits ,boarding in my place ,overnight care or vacation coverage. Ive administered meds and intravenous drip and emptied too many litter boxes to count. Cats need to familiarize themselves in new environments, like a home owner scrutinizing a hired cleaning team, they'll decide what and where they'll hang out and tell you what they prefer.
“Eileen did an amazing job watching after our two cats. She followed all of our instructions to a T and always sent us pictures of our fur babies. Our cars are very shy but some how, Eileen got them to come out while she was here. We would highly recommend Eileen to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter !! We will definitely be using her services again :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - St. Catharines
Malcolm was very thoughtful and caring toward our two cats. He made sure they were looked after as if he were a family member checking on them. I can tell whenever we return from a trip how things went, and the cats act as if we were just at the grocery store and came back (not 4 days), which tells us they enjoyed their care. Malcolm followed our care instructions, and everything went smoothly while we were away. We would get Malcolm to look after our cats again in the future. A++++
Kari truly goes above and beyond. As soon as we have a vacation booked I book her services as I know 10000% that she will treat our cats with so much love and care. From her detailed reports and photo updates to her cleanliness and attention to detail when she visits, I have zero worries in the world and absolutely nothing but positive things to say about her. Our boys love her and I know your pets will thank you for introducing this new friend to them, too. Thank you so much for the incredible peace of mind, yet again, Kari!
Jacqueline is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She took excellent care of our little girl while we were away. It was Scarlett's first time without her humans, and considering she has a tough past, we were concerned about how she would feel. Jacqueline made sure that Scarlett felt safe and comfortable, offering kindness, soft words, and continued patience. She was always on time and made sure to send us photos and updates 🙂 We would definitely recommend Jacqueline and hope that she would want to sit for Scarlett again in the future 💖 Thanks again, Jacqueline!
