About: For over three years, I traveled across Canada house sitting and caring for my hosts’ fur babies. I’ve looked after many furry friends with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I learned how to make each one feel safe and comfortable. Now that I’m settled in Collingwood, I’m excited to welcome fur babies into my own home. I work remotely, so your fur baby will never be left alone. I’m always home to keep them company, with regular walks, playtime, meals on schedule, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to follow your fur baby’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel right at home. Your fur baby’s safety and well-being are my top priority. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home, and I’ll send you photo updates so you always know how they’re doing. I follow your instructions on feeding, medication, and care, and I’ll always reach out if anything comes up. My goal is to give your fur baby a loving, secure place to stay while you’re away.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently own a blue merle Border Collie. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I would bring that same love and attention to caring for yours. My approach is patient and caring, with time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and favourite activities. I want to give every pet in my care the time and attention they deserve. Before accepting a booking, I’ll discuss your dog’s usual routine and your scheduling needs so we can make sure my availability is a good fit. Your dog’s safety and comfort would be my priority. Before care begins, I’ll ask about feeding, walks, behaviour, health needs, and any household rules. In your home, I’ll respect your space and follow your instructions carefully.

I have also helped train two puppies who are well behaved now :) Currently working as an actor so my schedule is up and down but it will not affect me if I have committed to watching your pet or house Not applicable will only be watching at owner’s home. My current house has no backyard or anything suitable for pets or pet sitting. N A

Samantha was able to accommodate us last minute and offered to be flexible with drop ins which we appreciated very much. She communicated with us on each visit and gave updates; the cats seemed happy upon our return.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.

To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Thornbury 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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. 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.
