About: At Deerbrook Petbnb, your pet is treated like family. I’ve been proudly providing trusted, in-home pet care in the community since 2017, with a focus on comfort, routine, and personalized attention. Every pet is unique, and I believe their care should reflect that. You tell me your pet’s routine at home, and I recreate that same experience in my own home—helping them feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you’re away. Caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s something I take great pride in. By keeping my numbers small (up to 6 dogs at a time, along with cats), I’m able to provide hands-on, one-on-one attention, ensuring every pet receives the love, care, and interaction they deserve. My home is designed with your pet’s happiness in mind. Situated on a beautiful acre-and-a-half property, dogs enjoy at least three 30-minute free-play sessions each day, giving them plenty of space to run, explore, and burn off energy. For additional outdoor time, we also have a spacious 30x30 ft outdoor kennel area where dogs can safely socialize, relax, sunbathe, and play. Cats are just as well cared for, with a dedicated cat room featuring climbing trees, window perches, and wall-mounted jungle gyms to keep them safe, stimulated, and comfortable. At Deerbrook Petbnb, I combine my passion for animals with a commitment to exceptional care—so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. I run a full-time, in-home pet boarding business, Deerbrook Petbnb, and have been doing so for the past 9 years. Pet care is my primary focus, and my daily schedule is fully dedicated to my clients, their pets, and their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow the same routine you have established at home and replicate it in my own home to ensure consistency, comfort, and a smooth transition while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of my dog, nicely and well, and also I trained it. She became the smartest dog what neighbourhood's were seen. I have a job with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time. I enjoy spending time in nature and think it would be a perfect fit to go with dogs I have an animal-friendly home with a nice backyard, and I'm happy to walk dogs or care for them there. I am also willing to visit clients' homes.
“my husband and I are overjoyed that we found Laura! We could tell from the pictures and video that she sent us through the course of the night that he had a blast with her. Thanks so much Laura! Your quick responses and updates put my mind at ease during Bentley's first time away from us. We look forward to many more visits!”
“We met Rawan before having her drop-in to visit with our dog for 30 minutes. It all went great and we’re looking forward to using Rawan as a dogsitter! She is very respectful and her communication is excellent.”
“Kaylee was a great help to us while we were gone for 3 weeks on a trip abroad. We had her come by in the mornings to take care of our dog Robin who is a shy 60 pounds German Shepherd mix. She sent me daily updates and photos and even went so far as cleaning our cat litter and bathing Robin (no easy feat) without being asked to! When I returned home everything was clean and in order and the pets were happy and taken care of. I was really satisfied with her services!”
About: I've always had dogs most of my adult life. The best compliment i get is how well they behave and everyone wants a puppy from my dogs hoping to have the same dog. I'm now retired and very active and hoping to be able to take your active dog for a trail walk. Or sometimes just sit around but not my favorite thing to do. I live in my own home with a fenced yard but much prefer to pet sit at your place where i would not disturb your best friends routine as i do pay close attention to detail.
“Melissa was amazing! I had my usual person who checks in on my cats when I’m away cancel last minute. I discovered Rover and nervously gave it a shot. Melissa answered my inquiry quickly and answered my questions and arranged to come meet Bruce & Giggs before I left. Upon meeting her, she was lovely and made me feel more comfortable in leaving my guys in her hands. She was very accommodating and kept me up to date when she would pop in. The pictures were nice to see in her updates. Especially the one where she won Bruce over and he snuggled with her 😊 I trust an animal’s instincts about a person every time 😊 I would definitely use her services again.”

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 St. Joachim 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.
