“Luisa was so excellent to work with! She took the time to get to know Mala and her specific needs. Luisa and Mala got along super well because of the patience and care that Luisa took in every interaction. I would absolutely hire Luisa again and highly recommend her to anybody whose dog struggles with reactivity, anxiety, or is a rescue. Luisa clearly has experience in all of those areas and wants to ensure you and your dog are both comfortable at every step. Thanks Luisa for everything!”
“Emily was very flexible and did a great job looking after our fur-baby. She was able to arrange a meet and greet to get to know Dougie before hand and was in communication with us when needed. Can’t wait to have her sit for us again!”
About: I've raised 4 cats and understand that every cat is unique. I'm experienced with multi-cat dynamics, special diets, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. I'm patient, observant, and truly enjoy spending quality time with cats. Plus, I'm great at taking photos of them and sending updates with you! Working from home is perfect for cat sitting - I'm here all day! Your cat will never be alone for long periods. Feeding schedules are easy to maintain, and I can monitor your cat's behavior and well-being constantly. Plus, I genuinely enjoy the company - it's like having my own cats back! Since I work from home, I'm always nearby to monitor their well-being. I send daily photo/video updates so you can see your cat is happy and settled. I live alone in a spacious 2-bedroom apartment, so it's a quiet, calm environment with plenty of room to explore or nap.
“Such a lovely young lady came to my house to babysit my dog. We are very happy to have met Cassandra and will definitely be inviting her back. Punctual -yes, sent pictures - yes (many great photos), lovely personality-yes! Plus lots of play time outside as the weather allowed. Glad to have found you on Rover.”
“Melina was amazing with all my babies. They love her, which does not happen with everyone (hehe). With 4 dogs and 1 cat in our household, it was a lot of work to care for them so lovingly. Our family truly appreciates the care from Melina and will definitely want to re-book her for our future needs!”
“Holly is always the best. We feel so at ease when she is over watching our cat! She always makes sure he has a cute night in! I love the pictures and videos she sends. I can always trust her to really treat our bubble like her own pet! Will always recommend Holly :)”
“Sadie took wonderful care of Annie & my house this weekend, as she always does. The pictures & updates were much appreciated! We look forward to many more visits from her in the future 🤗”
“Samantha was 10/10 - will absolutely rebook again. She was efficient, strong communication and reliable. She showed up right on time, wrote notes down for how to take care of Mila and provided multiple updates and pictures while she took care of her. We trust Sam 100% and will be booking her when we go away again.”
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. Im currently working full time during the week. I’m available for drop in’s and walks during the week from 07am to 8am / 05:30pm to 08pm. For house sitting I’m available starting Friday 05:30pm to Sunday 07pm. Message me if you have any questions. 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.
“Absolutely recommended Remy 100%. I was so happy to come home and the house was clean, the dogs were happy. I sincerely appreciate this so much. I am so glad I found someone for helping me and I will definitely reach out to Remy as a first contract in the future.”
“We hired Kiara to sit our 2 dogs over a long weekend. As soon as I met her, I knew she was the perfect person for the job. Kiara immediately showered my dogs with sincere kindness and attention and they loved her back right from that very first moment. It was obvious she genuinely loves dogs. She listened carefully to my care instructions and asked appropriate questions about our pets as well as our home. While we were away, she kept us updated with short videos and photos and reached out to us whenever she needed clarification. She was prompt to reply to any of my inquiries as well. We felt very comfortable with Kiara looking after our dogs in our home. After our trip, we arrived to 2 happy dogs and our house being just as clean and tidy as we left it. In all, I would highly recommend Kiara to care for anyone’s dogs. She is trustworthy, kind and truly caring.”
“I had Gillian dog sit my Oakley at my place for a full week. She treated me and my home with respect, took lots of lovely, Insta-worthy pictures of my dog, and left him tired and happy at the end of the day. We were very lucky to have been able to book Gillian for the week. Thanks so much!!!”
“I could tell Alfie really liked Chanel from the way he was cuddling with her. Appreciated her updates she shared when caring for Alfie and she was receptive to any feedback I gave. Thanks a bunch Chanel, looking forward to seeing you again!”
“Wonderful dog sitter! Kind, reliable, and so caring with our dog. They went above and beyond with walks, cuddles, and lots of love. We came home to a happy, well-cared- for pup and would definitely book with them again!”
“I had a positive experience with Patrycja. She was polite and cooperative. She kept my house tidy she was attentive to my two dogs and cat. She sent me picture updates over the weekend and followed the instructions that were left. I would contact her again if I needed a future Dog Sitter.”
“Sabrina took great care of Sam while we were away overnight to a family reunion! She sent pics periodically to show how he was doing, which eased our minds tremendously. We would ask her again with no hesitation the next time we need someone to watch Sam for us. He is 14 plus years and doesn’t like to be alone. He loved Sabrina and is still looking in the spare bedroom for her at night”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thorold
We were so thrilled to be able to go away on vacation and ‘try’ not to worry about leaving Haven - our Standard Poodle rescue with separation anxiety - for a week with Amanda. Haven bonded with Amanda from their first meeting. We were sure Haven would not walk further than ten feet with Amanda, if at all! With patients and many treats! Amanda was able to get Haven walking around our neighbourhood, within a couple of days. Amanda kept us up to date with pictures and texts on how Haven was doing which made us able to enjoy our vacation with much less stress. Thank you Amanda!
Charlene took the best care of my cat while I was gone! She sent constant updates, was very easy to communicate with and left my place clean and tidy. I appreciate her love of animals, ability to connect with my cat and give him proper play and affection while I was away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Thorold on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Thorold 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.
Tip: 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 Thorold 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 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!
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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
