About: I have a literal lifetime of experience with dogs. From the moment I was born to now, I've never gone more than a few months without at least one dog in my life. Most have been rescues, so I know how to deal with shy or sensitive dogs. I've even had experience taking care of dogs with special needs and handicaps, as well as seniors. Without any major obligations at the moment, I'm free to focus on taking care of your pet to the best of my ability. I'm already the primary caregiver for my own two dogs, so it's something I'm going to be doing anyway. I take the safety of animals extremely seriously. I will always seek to learn about a prospective client's specific needs and limitations. I am very protective of my own dogs- possibly to the point of excess in some cases- and you can be sure that I will extend that to any dogs in my care, regardless of duration.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for years, and caring for them is something I genuinely love! 🐶 From energetic puppies who want to play all day to senior pups who prefer a quiet cuddle, I’m comfortable adapting to whatever makes your dog happiest. As a Registered Veterinary Technician, I also have hands-on experience caring for pets with different medical and special care needs. Your pup will get plenty of attention, patience, exercise, and of course, lots of love while they’re with me! 🐾❤️ I work full-time during the week, but I’m able to visit pets during my lunch break and provide overnight care after work. Weekends are much more flexible, and I’m usually available for daytime visits as well as overnight stays. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away! 🤍 As a Registered Veterinary Technician, your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and medical needs, and I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behaviour or health. I provide a calm, clean and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll also follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, so they feel right at home! 🐶❤️
About: Hi! Thanks for considering me to take care of your pup! My dog, Penelope, and I love to be outside, go on new adventures, and meet new friends, both human and fur babies! I have had dogs my entire life, and recently got a cat to add to our family. I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your fur baby, so I’m available for meet and greets before I take your pup. My 3 year old dog Penelope is high energy and super friendly, and loves a good play! I’ve cared for dogs ranging from 8 weeks to 16 years. Again, thanks for considering me and I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I’m currently a student at the University of Windsor and have a schedule flexible to meet a variety of care needs. My availability is different day to day, week to week. I’m happy to flex where I can to meet your needs. In your home, I am happy to accommodate for however you prefer your pet to be cared for. I have experience with crate training. On walks, I am happy to use leash, harness, or whatever your preference is.
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.
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Jamie and Danae! We loved the daily photo updates of our three beagles! Thank you two for taking great care of our boys! Vicki & Justin”

About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care and attention I give to every pet. I treat them as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies who need training and extra patience, as well as senior dogs who may require gentle care, medication, or a calmer environment. I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs—whether they’re full of energy and love long walks, or they prefer quiet cuddles and companionship. Clients appreciate that I communicate often, send regular photo updates, and always go the extra mile to make both pets and owners feel at ease. For me, pet care isn’t just a service—it’s something I truly love to do. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I plan my days around feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel happy and cared for. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday checkins, afternoon playing or evening cuddle time, I always make space in my schedule to prioritize their needs. On a weekly basis, I balance my routine so pets get consistent attention, exercise, and affection. I treat their care just like I would for my own pets - with patience, reliability, and lots of love. Taking care of animals isn’t just something I add into my day—it’s truly part of my lifestyle and what makes me happiest. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is always their comfort, safety, and happiness. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and special needs so I can make them feel secure and loved. In my home, pets have a calm and safe environment where they are treated like part of the family—with plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I make sure their feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules are followed exactly as instructed. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to minimize stress. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. Every pet is unique, and I always adapt my care to what makes them feel happiest—whether that’s extra play, long walks, or simply quiet companionship.

“Melissa is an amazing person! She looked after our Tabby Kitty Boy for 9 days as a House sitter. She took such great care of our baby! She gave timely updates with videos and pictures - we never had to wonder about how is he doing - thanks to her proactiveness and such love towards our kitty boy. She went a step ahead and ensured the house was clean and handed it over in such a good state! I am totally booking her care again - our kitty was super happy and looked after! So much so that he misses Melissa! Would recommend her BIG TIME! She is amazing!”
“Rachel is a lovely person and our dogs were immediately at ease and excited to see her. She sent us daily pictures which we appreciated and we came home to find two happy dogs who very much appreciated getting to stay home while we were away. Thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tecumseh
Nicola was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my two senior dogs, one of whom requires daily medication and extra attention. She sent daily photo updates and check-ins, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two relaxed, happy pups — it was clear they’d been in good hands. I’d highly recommend Nicola to anyone, especially those with older or special-needs dogs

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Tecumseh maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Tecumseh walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Tecumseh 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
