“Lyndie did a wonderful job looking after our cat who requires 2 medications and is a bit high maintenance with his attention requirements. I really appreciate that she also washed all his food dishes and rinsed out the cans for recycling. Our cat was quite content when we returned home. Definitely recommend her for cat sitting and will book again.”
“Krystina was absolutely wonderful. She cared for my pups as if they were her own. Reliable and always on time. Provided updates. Great experience with Krystina. Will definitely be using her again and again.”
“Sue was very friendly and reliable for our puppy visits. We had to make a cancellation for one of our days booked, and she was understanding and accommodating. Our puppy was very happy and well cared for.”
“We've booked with Caitlyn twice in a row and it has been a super smooth experience. She's always quick to respond to any communication and follows all instructions to the letter. My cat can be a little shy initially but she's warming up to Caitlyn and I really appreciate all her help!”
“Deanna was great at communicating, sent me photos of both of my cats as requested as well as a video after each visit showing she had locked my home after leaving. My babies were left in good hands while we were away! Thank you again, Deanna!”
About: I have been walking dogs and taking care of them for almost 10 years - having a lab of my own for 7 years I am experienced in raising a puppy and training a large dog to be extremely social, well tempered and friendly. Family and friends rely on me to walk, feed, engage and care for their pets when they are unavailable to do so. I am very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes from puppies to adults. I work from home 3 days a week, so I am flexible and able to give your dog all the walks and attention they require to settle once in the house. I live in a house, and my own lab is crate trained to be in his crate when he needs to be without any issues. There is a large park beside my home for frequent potty breaks.
About: I have cared for dogs from puppies to seniors. I have owned a dog for most of my life until recently and will happily take care of yours!

I am also happy to take them for longer walks as needed for their routine.

About: I have had animals most of my life and I see them as beings with great personalities. I have always enjoyed being around all types of creatures, even insects. I believe animals are beings that deserve great care and respect I am a mum looking to make some money to contribute to my family. I work hard, am highly committed and reliable. I am looking to do fill my days with beautiful animals and help others extend their love and care when they can’t be there I am there to give love and care when you cannot be there. I believe an animals is a beautiful being who deserves nothing but the best. My own pets have all had full lives full of love, care and compassion. I recently had to say goodbye to my beautiful toy poodle of 22 years. We gave him a wonderful life and I am so greatful for every life I have been given to care for
About: I am a true animal lover. I would watch bunnies, birds, horses, lizards too. Cheetahs if I could haha. A fur baby is a family member and family is massively important. Rest assured; no matter the age, health or species, caregiving is what I'm made for...your fur baby is no different to me. Walks, play time, vet runs, cuddles, snackies and etc. Is always available with aunty Cheryl around 😊 Call me ahead of time and we'll work a schedule that will fit us both. I'm available most holidays too. Can't wait to meet you guys. I care for pets with patience, love , kindness, and attention to their individual needs. Communication and commitment is what makes the optimal safe environment. I follow pet mom/dad's instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and routines. Making sure pets have fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of attention and companionship. I understand and value that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel secure while their mom or dad is away.
About: I am currently a volunteer dog walker at a dog shelter. I have worked with a variety of dog breeds, especially larger sized dogs, and various ages and temperaments including puppies, young and adult dogs, and seniors. I have also worked with cats of various temperaments, senior cats, sick cats, and kittens. I was previously a horse trainer for 5+ years, handled birds and a variety of small animals, including volunteering on a small animal team at a local animal shelter. As a stay-at-home mom of two school age kiddos and a writer/ photographer, I spend most of the day at home. We currently have no other pets in the home, and as a dedicated animal person, I would love to open up our beautiful townhome to 2 doggies for a doggie daycare. I am currently open for 2 doggie daycare spots, available Monday to Friday, from 6 am to 6 pm. While dog walking and interacting with dogs, I use methods based on a gentle leadership approach, where I work to gain and maintain the dog's attention on me as their walker or babysitter as much as possible using positive reinforcement with lots of praise, loving attention and encouragement. Keeping a dogs attention on me frequently with lots of praise and affection helps to promote healthy leash walking behaviours such as no pulling, and healthy training behaviours, along with their overall happiness, comfort and wellbeing while in my care. I would give your pet lots of snuggles, cuddles and attention based on their preference and comfort level, while also allowing them to adjust to our home at their own preferred pace. During doggy daycare and boarding, I like to keep constant watch over your pet to ensure they feel happy, safe, comfortable, and that they feel especially loved. Feel free to check out the two photos of my doggie daycare backyard in my pics! :)
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs and cats reptiles, and right now I watch my sister’s three cats when she's away, so I’m totally used to multi pet chaos and schedules. I also own an older cat with a pretty spicy personality! She’s given me a ton of patience and experience with pets that need extra space, boundary respect, or medical care. Whether you have a high energy dog or a cat that just wants to be left alone, I know how to keep their routine safe and stress free. Since I am currently in between jobs, I have all the time in the world to focus on, play with, and care for your pets! I can look after your pets at your home, keeping them happy with daily walks, their usual food routine, and lots of attention also updates anytime needed for your comfort!
About: I am a dog owner myself with my little 2month old puppy, our home is filled with love and fun. I have three kids who know how to tire dogs out! I would love to be able to help others who require it if it’s just a day or two or even a week. Your puppy or dog will jot be lonely. I work from home so I will be here at all times. We’ve made our backyard a great place for any dog to have fun and be safe My home is equipped for all security, with gates proper beds for the cute little furry animals. We have a backyard that is proper set up to ensure the safety of our furry little animal and to make sure they do not escape.
“I have a more difficult "spicy" kitty who I was really worried to leave at home with anyone while I visited family overseas. Dominique had just the skills and experience I was looking for, and she executed the stay with absolute professionalism and grace. She handled the more difficult parts of my cat's personality, providing unconditional care to make sure she had everything to feel safe and comfortable while I was away. She even was able to provide a photo with each stay (not the easiest feat for my girl!) and always provided necessary updates. By the end, my cat even seemed to have accepted her and calmed down a bit, a trust that takes years for others to gain with her. Super glad I hired her and will reach out if I ever need to leave for an extended period again!”
“My cats loved Jesse! I felt good leaving them in her care, especially as a vet tech I knew they were in good hands. I loved the pictures and updates that put my mind at ease to let me know they were doing well. Highly recommend Jesse. Will rebook in the future for sure ! :)”
About: I am an animal enthusiast who has always been attuned to the needs of animals. I have experience with mainly cats and dogs but honestly love all creatures. I have so much care that I would love to share and feel like helping others care for their animals would be a great way to spend my time. I am open to almost all schedules at this time. Reach out to me and we will figure out if I'm the right sitter for your pet. My dog is always leashed outside and I take her on multiple walks a day. I do have a fenced backyard as well. She is friendly with other dogs while boarding so I would not have any concerns. But if needed I do have the space to keep your pet separate/crated.

Lyndie did a wonderful job looking after our cat who requires 2 medications and is a bit high maintenance with his attention requirements. I really appreciate that she also washed all his food dishes and rinsed out the cans for recycling. Our cat was quite content when we returned home. Definitely recommend her for cat sitting and will book again.
I am a first-time client of Ashley’s and she was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Honey! I moved about two hours north a few months ago, and one of the things I was genuinely worried about was having to find a new dog sitter that I could really trust. Honey can be a little anxious, so I’m very particular about who watches her and prefer to have just one or two consistent sitters that she can get comfortable and build a relationship with. Ashley immediately made me feel at ease. She was incredibly attentive to all of my instructions, took the time to create a little client file for Honey so she had all of her information and routines on hand, and was always punctual, prompt, and reliable. It’s very obvious that Ashley takes caring for her clients’ pets seriously, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Honey was in good hands while I was away. She’s was very caring and sweet with my fur babies - Honey warmed up to her right away! I’m SO happy to have found our new go-to sitter in the Barrie/Innisfil area and will absolutely be booking with Ashley again! Honey and I highly recommend her! 🐾❤️
We had such a wonderful experience with Emily today! She took such great care of our pup while we were out, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Emily was kind, reliable, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. We are so grateful for the attention and love she gave him and would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly pet caregiver. Thank you so much, Emily, for taking such great care of our boy!

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 Stroud 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.
