About: We all know that it can be challenging for our pets to be apart from their humans - for dogs especially - so why add more stress to their lives by taking them away from the comforts of home? I specialize in pet-sitting in your home. Harmonizing with your pets’ unique routines, my foremost goal is to make each of your animals feel loved and heard throughout the care experience. I ensure there is no interruptions to the comforts of their daily lives, from personalized feeding and walk schedules, administering medication, satisfying special dietary needs, and beyond. I have been looking after people’s pets since Summer 2023 and have found a talent for bringing ease to even the most wary of animals. From a big-lunged Boxer looking to be loved, to a shy, elderly Ginger cat that chose me as her best friend, I pride myself on using my empathy to quickly earn the trust of every pet I have cared for. I am open to working with dogs and cats of any size or age. Book me for an in-house sitting, drop ins, or walks! I currently work Monday-Thursday, 8:30am-4:30pm, near Brock University. If you are located close by, I can take care of your pets during my lunch hour All day availability for pet care is offered Friday-Sunday Work full-time? Going on a trip? Book me any day of the week if your pets are used to being alone for 6-8hrs! When I look after your pets, their needs come first. I am stepping into their home, so I abide by their routines, comforts, and needs. At the meet & greet, you and I will discuss what their average day looks like so that I can emulate the same experience while you are away. I personalize schedules for feeding, walks, and level of socialization. I have experience administering medication and working with pets with disabilities (blindness, lack of hearing, etc.)
“Shealin was 10/10. She went above and beyond while caring for our young cat. Very responsive, very loving and ensured our cat had enough play, treats, food and love. Would recommend if you’re looking for a cat sitter!”
“Karen was great, would highly recommend her services. She was wonderful and easy to connect with and communicate with. She asked questions and was very good at keeping us up to date with her arrival and leaving. She also took AMAZING photos of our pup.”
“Charlene was wonderful. Our family took a two week vacation and Charlene took the time to ensure our cat, Eli, was happy, fed, and comfortable. The pictures each day were also a nice touch! Thank you, Charlene!”
About: Experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong background caring for two family dogs, along with hands-on experience dog walking and pet sitting for other people’s households. With a very open schedule, I’m able to make pet care a central part of my daily routine. This means I can offer dependable availability and adjust to what works best for both you and your dog, whether that’s structured daily walks or more flexible, as-needed care. Because I’m not rushed or overbooked, I can take the time to focus on each dog individually—paying attention to their energy levels, behaviour, and comfort. My goal is to make each walk feel calm, consistent, and genuinely enjoyable for your dog. I care for pets with a focus on consistency, safety, and attention to their individual needs. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. During walks, I make sure dogs are exercised appropriately based on their energy level, while also keeping them safe and under control at all times. I pay attention to behaviour and body language, making sure they’re comfortable and not stressed. I also make time for play, affection, and calm interaction so they feel secure and cared for. Overall, I aim to create a reliable and positive experience that keeps pets happy and owners confident in their care
About: I have been an animal lover for my entire life. Growing up, I knew the name of every single dog in my neighbourhood. I have many years of experience with different pets, including puppies, dogs, cats, birds, and even squirrels. I’m the type of person who’s sitting on the floor playing with the dog or cat at a party. I have a deep care for animals and I will always look out for them as if they were my own pets. I will work with puppies on commands such as house-training, sit, stay, tricks, etc. during my visits if that is wanted as well. You can count on me to bring all the fun, love, and care to your pets while you’re away! I have open availability! 7 days a week for drop in visits, walks, doggy daycare, etc. I will always accept your request unless I have already been booked up by another client. I always treat your animals like my own! Love, care, cuddles, compassion, walks, playtime, and trust. I will always be respectful of your home and rules. I will follow any directions you leave for me to keep your pet as safe as possible in my care. Doggy day care will get the same treatment, including a large fenced-in yard to run around and play! Other pets will NOT be in my home during visits, so your pet will receive all the attention! Trails close by to go for long walks! Lots of blankets and toys to keep them comfortable!
About: Hi! I’m Holly, a lifelong dog lover who works from home, so your pup will get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I have a 15 year old small fluffy white dog with medical needs, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog’s care. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I’m happy to tailor their routine to what they’re used to. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, medication (including eye drops), special feeding routines, and dogs with separation anxiety who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I know every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality and routines so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work from home, so I am available to take your dog on walks, playtime, and potty breaks as needed. There is a dog bed in my office for your pup to hang out with me! I am attentive to all specific instructions. If your pet has specific needs like personality quirks, separation anxiety, medication schedules, or is very routine-driven, just let me know and I’m happy to adapt. All dogs are different, so let me know how I can best replicate your typical schedule to provide some stability and comfort for your pet!
About: My experience with pets is from back home in Brazil. I have at home a cat, 3 dogs, a turtle, and a bird (Yeah, a lot I know haha). Of all the pets that I have, I have a special connection with my dogs. They are like my shadow and always wants to stay next to me. I can’t even imagine how they are missing me since I moved to Canada, and I also miss them like crazy. Being a sitter will complete this part that I most miss from home. I’m a international student at Niagara College, and I’m a part-time worker on weekends. As my classes schedule are flexible, some parts of the day I have time to spend being a pet sitter and also, sharing my love to those little cuties. I care so much about the attention that is needed to the pets. They are so loyal with us and just wanna feel loved and cared of.
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have 4+ years experience at a doggy daycare care and kennel, with proficiency working with small, medium, and large dog breeds! My passion for animal care extends beyond dogs and cats—I also have a strong passion for small and large farm animals and have had lots of hands on experience working with them. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s something I truly love. Whether your furry companion loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm, reassuring presence, I’ll tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I’ll be sure to send lots of photos and provide regular updates! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! :) I’m currently working part time at a restaurant so, I’ll have plenty of time for walks, giving love, and playing with your pups! I typically work Monday, Tuesday and Saturday nights for around 5 hours each night. There is a big park just up the street from me with lots of grass and room for running around (however, it is not fenced in). I also have a small, black pug that is super friendly and will play with your dog!

About: I grew up in a dog loving family and we always had at least one dog in the house. I have taken care of dogs as small as 4lbs up to about 90lbs. I live a fairly active lifestyle and like to walk my own dog twice a day. I am comfortable taking care of and walking dogs of any age or size. I am reliable and can work around any schedule depending on the day and week. I work shift work so my schedule is changing every week. I usually have at least 4 days off a week but the days alternate. On days I am available I can typically help with your dog any time of the day I am comfortable walking dogs on a leash with a collar or harness, putting them in and taking them out of a crate if needed, and playing outside in a fenced area with them. I grew up with dogs so I know they all have their own personality, and I am patient with any dog who may need a little extra care or time to trust me

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thorold
We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! She took excellent care of our pets, kept us updated with photos and messages, and made sure our pet felt comfortable and loved while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pet was in such caring and reliable hands. We highly recommend her and would definitely book with them again!
We can't say enough good things about Kari! Our pets adore her, and you can really tell how much she really loves animals. We never have to worry, because we know our babies are in good hands while we're away. She's always very quick to respond to any questions, and keeps us updated throughout her visits. Highly recommend!!
We had a hard time finding someone who would take the time to work with our dog. Fynn is anxious and needs someone with patience to get to know him. Jenny has been the perfect choice. She is not just “ good with dogs “ she is knowledgeable, has experience, patient, and truly good with Fynn. We have her do drop in visits and a walk. She reassures us that fynn is taken care of every time she visits. We can not recommend her enough.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Thorold stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Thorold 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.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
