House Sitting Strathroy-Caradoc

“We were worried about leaving the dogs because we have never left them behind. Sonya took our worries away she was great with them. Sent us pictures and updates which made our vacation more relaxing. We knew they were safe in there own environment with Sonya. Would recommend Sonya and Rover. This was our first experience with a house sitter. Will do it again.”

“I can't thank you enough for watching our little pet family. I was a very nervous first time Rover pet parent but you put my mind at ease right from the meet and greet. I appreciated the updates throughout the stay and can't recommend you enough. Thank you Yoda!”

“Walter was great with my 4 year old chihuahua. Because he is timid, I was nervous leaving him with a sitter for the first time, but Walter sent pictures and kept me informed on a daily basis. By the end of the 3 night sit they had become buddies, and Walter left the house in perfect order. Definitely recommend!”

“Jenna was fantastic with our dogs. She came and stayed at our place for two weeks while we were away on holidays. It’s hard to know what goes on while you’re away and trust your pets are in good hands. With Jenna - we feel as though the dogs must have loved her because they were happy little puppies when we came home and the puppies were calm. Normally they have separation anxiety and this time they seemed perfectly fine! We highly recommend Jenna and will be using her again! 🐾”

“Lisa was incredible. She cared for my four dogs as if they were her own — attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in their well-being. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos throughout my trip, giving me complete peace of mind. Though walking them wasn’t expected, she went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and active. Lisa is truly reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy — I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back.”

About: I have lived with a dog my whole life! For as long as I can remember my family, friends, and people in my community have asked me to take care of their pets and I am always happy to do so, whether they need me just to walk or feed their pet because they are running late or for a longer period of time. I am good with dogs of any age! I am currently a full time student in college, my weekends are always free. I am currently doing a work placement in Stratford and I am usually gone from 6:30 AM till about 3:30/4:00 PM during the week. When it comes to caring for a pet, I will do the obvious things like ensuring they are kept out of danger and safe, never outside without a leash unless of course in their own fenced in yard. Of course if the pet owner would like additional and specific precautions taken they can always inform me and I will follow it

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid and started my own business. I will be there for your animal when they need comfort and compassion when their family is away. I have every weekday from 9:30-2:30 available and can take on weekend services aswell. My schedule is open to give you the care you and your animal deserve. I will come to your house for your animals needs. Over the years I have found the animal feels most comfortable in their own environment.

“Rosalie watched our 4 (yes, 4!) rescue dogs for the entire night while we were out of town. This was our first time having someone other than family watch our dogs - even just for a day visit. She was very communicative and help keep my anxiety at ease. The dogs were excited to see her when she arrived which is always nice. A note was left too to tell me about the night, on top of the texts, which is appreciated! We plan on using Rosalie for day visits again and when we go on longer vacations!”

“Katherine's care and keeping of our little and senior and reactive dog Charlie is superb. Charlie is a lovely dog IF he trusts you and he trusts Katherine so much. She is attentive and kind. Our trip was made carefree because she was there looking after our precious little guy and our home. I cannot say enough good things about Katherine.”

About: I was raised on a farm with all kinds of animals, especially dogs. I’ve been working in an animal shelter for five years. I do enrichment with them and give certain ones medication when they need it. I’m currently working part-time at an animal shelter. I have more time on my hands to help out with Dog Sitting and Dog walking for anyone. I live in a place that I can’t have dogs so what I usually do is I house/dogs sit for somebody that is comfortable with me sleeping at their place and staying with the dog there, and taking care of there house.

About: Hi! I have 5 years of pet care experience and a genuine love for animals. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pets personality and routine. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. i’m currently doing online courses from home so i’m available any day of the week. I’m available in the morning, during the day, and evening. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly chocolate lab who can keep your pup company! I have a crate if needed and lots of toys to play with 🐾🐶

“We are so happy with the care Olivia gave to our two pups. We totally recommend her.”

About: I have lived and worked in a CKC Registered dog kennel growing up, very familiar with taking care of English Bulldogs and Frenchies specifically. I have also been a pet sitter for many family members with all different breeds, friends and coworkers over the years. I have experience with many dog breeds small to large, cats, small-animals and reptiles. I work part-time, I have a very open schedule for walks, drop ins, hangouts, and home pet sitting for how ever many days may be needed in your home! I have a fenced in yard that is easily accessible even for a older dog that may have mobility issues, I am familiar with every dog park in the city, or I can take them on a hike through one of our many parks and trails. Keeping it laid back is also perfect, a roam around the neighborhood where you're located is a great option also!

About: I lived on and work on a farm for over 25yrs. I've looked after everything from fish, cats, dogs, to poultry and fowl to horses and cattle. I'm active, enjoy spending time outside and love walking. I grew up with Irish Wolfhounds and miss having a dog to walk with. I'm working a weekday job as a plumbing apprentice. Generally from 8-4 but some days are shorter or if times are slow I have days off. In my clients home I like to have a written outline of what your pets routine and needs are. I will make sure your pets needs for company, mental stimulation, food, water, exercise, outdoor time and medicine (if required) are met.

About: Hello! My name is Mike and I've been fostering dogs since 2019. I've had approximately 18 come and go, only foster "failing" (foster dogs who I ended up keeping) with two who stayed and had the best golden years. I lost my most recent boy in August, a blind Bichon, just shy of his 12th birthday and after 3 great years. He was type-1 diabetic and blind, and after so much time as a foster getting his insulin regulated, he decided I was his forever family. He had a sister when I got him, a senior Yorkie with diabetes insipidus and a host of health issues. All that is to say I'm a professional at insulin, rigid medication schedules and diet maintenance. Presently I have no dogs of my own. When it comes to your dog, I'll keep your daily routine and walk schedules too, so your pups stay is as minimally disruptive to their normal routine as possible. I've fostered dogs of many breeds from Chihuahuas and a Rat Terrier to a Golden Retriever and Saint Bernard. I've had as many as 4 dogs at once so I'm open to having multiple pups at once. I'll never accept dogs from multiple families unless both families are booking together and the dogs are socialized with each other already. And I'll never cancel a confirmed stay for a more lucrative multi-dog request. I live alone in a detached house in Wallaceburg, and I work from home so your dog won't be left alone aside from short errands. I'm not big on crating dogs, leaving them free to be where they like while I'm gone. I have a den with glass door if you tell me they need smaller quarters, or you can bring your crate for me to use. I have a large fenced yard for playing fetch or dogs who need to run. This is a total dog house. I bought it due to its flat land and not having stairs, and I built a ramp down to the yard. I installed a dog door but it will stay blocked unless having access is suitable for your pups. Dogs are welcome on the couch and the bed, and will have free roam of the house (there's no basement, and garage isn't accessible). House sitting radius: the Rover app limits a 100km radius when setting the territory I can offer the services. I've got my radius set Eastward to circle Toronto, as I grew up there and love an opportunity to take gigs that get me into the city. Unfortunately I can't draw a circle that includes Windsor, but I'm happy to take gigs there too. If you're in London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Brantford, or the GTA, and you have a dog that can be left alone for 2-3hrs max, I may be willing to offer discounts on price so I can catch up with family and friends in those areas while I'm there. If you have any questions or you'd like to arrange a tour or meet and greet, don't hesitate to reach out. I work fulltime hours from home, typical office hours. I'm usually awake by 7am and bed by midnight. I don't have many friends in town so I'm home most of the time. My yard is fully fenced. I have a couple Tile tracking tags that I can attach to their collar if they're an escape artist (or you'd like to track your pups location remotely). Hazardous items like cleaning products are kept in cupboards or in my detached garage. My house is pretty dog proofed and I'm not concerned if your pup has an accident. That's what mops and upholstery cleaners are for. I think I've developed pretty good dog body language, and only correct misbehaviour by command and redirection. I'm a bit of a sucker that let's them get carried away when they're being silly, but particularly with bigger dogs I'll make sure their training is maintained (no jumping up to greet, making sure they don't assert dominance etc.)

About: I bring over three years of hands-on experience working at an animal hospital, combined with volunteer work at therapeutic riding programs and other animal care organizations. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and compassionate handling. Whether it’s energetic walks or calm, cozy sitting sessions, I’m dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer up to two walks per day on weekdays—one in the morning before work and one in the evening after work—to keep your pup happy and active. On Saturdays, I’m available for one or two walks depending on my schedule, and on Sundays, I have full availability to provide multiple walks and extra attention. I’m committed to fitting quality exercise and care into your pet’s day, even with my busy schedule, so they feel loved and energized while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I follow your specific instructions closely. I ensure a safe environment, lots of attention, and companionship so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide care that feels just like you never left. With sitting, we can discuss availability and flexibility to accommodate for your pet and family needs.

About: I am currently enrolled in school to become a veterinary technician. My passion for animals has lead me to become fear free certified and always go above and beyond for the animals in my care. I have grown up with large breed dogs my whole life, and recently became a dog owner with my first dog! I have worked in a doggy daycare for 2 years where I was a supervisor. I have also worked at an animal shelter caring for dogs while they are waiting for their forever home. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, temperaments and training levels. I am very passionate about working with dogs who have some behavioural issues making them “unwanted” in the shelter system. I have experience socializing, training, introducing dogs and advocating for dogs needs. I am very involved in the dog world and am always looking to get more experience with them. I provide quality care that is trustworthy and respectful to the owner and the dogs. I am a part time student in the fall and winter allowing me to have a flexible schedule during the day to tend to your pets needs. I know the importance of having a consistent schedule with your pets and strive to be able to provide that for your animals individual needs. I am flexible and able to work with you to create a daily or weekly schedule that fits your animals and your needs. Safety and confidentiality are very important to me as a pet owner. I know it's hard to trust a random stranger with the care of your precious furry children. I take pride in being able to say I am a very trust worthy and responsible care taker of animals. How would I want someone to care for my animals when I'm away? That's how I will care for your animal. Allowing pet owners to have peace of mind that their pets are in excellent hands. I provide drop in services to play with your animals from the comfort of their home, outside on a long scenic nature walk or a short walk while you're at work, even a quick playtime in the backyard if that's what the love to do! I am happy to enrich pets lives when you need the extra help or are away.

“Juhi was so amazing!! Such a kind and whole hearted girl who I trust totally with our pupper! She’s always makes sure you’re kept in the loop with your fur baby with lots of texts and pictures/ videos! I recommend her to all my friends and family!”
