“Lauren has cared for Mia a few times now and continues to provide incredible care for our home and Mia. We would continue to request Lauren’s services whenever we are away. Thank you so much Lauren for your kindness and expertise with our precious Mia!”

“Holly was great! Our dog Penny loves her and we got lots of pictures and videos while we were away and came home to an immaculately clean house! Would highly recommend Holly!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Luisa took exceptional care of my 2 dogs housesitting with them. My dogs can be shy but they adjusted to her quickly. She is professional, reliable and clearly cares a great deal for dogs and other animals. She provided several updates while I was away. With one update she alerted to me a skin condition on one of my dogs and I was able to apply antibiotic cream to it when I got back. If she were available, I would try to book with her again.”

“Marie was amazing. She took great care of our kitty and provided regular updates. It really allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing our kitty was in good hands. Marie stayed in our home for 10 days while we were away and I can highly recommend her to take care of your pet! Thank you Marie!”

“Sadie was exceptional with our dogs and with our home. The dogs adored her, even our one that is very particular. Could not have asked for a better experience. Our dogs have never been calmer and happier upon us returning from being away. Thank you Sadie!!!”

“Amber did an amazing job. We were in NYC for 5 days, and she stayed over to look after our two Morkies. She took exceptional care of them and also left the house spotless when we returned. We had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend.”

“I've had Melina cat sit twice now. She is great with my kitty, Daisy. Shows up on time, sends videos, provides updates and responds to my texts. Very professional, yet empathetic . Highly recommend.”
“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.”

About: I've had personal experience with many animals, especially cats and dogs my whole entire life. I've had dog training classes and many years of experience with handling dogs. I connect well with animals, especially dogs and cats. I develop strong bonds and respect and nurture their individual personalities. They are true companions in every way. I run an online business so my schedule is open, I am very flexible. Hit me up anytime and we can figure something out no problem. I live in a townhouse where dogs and cats are welcome with plenty of space inside my home for running, playing or just lounging around.
About: I grew up with two dogs when I was growing up and it helped to teach me with maintaining their routines, trying to reinforce positive behaviors, taking care of their medical needs and administering basic medications, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort early. I treat each pet like they are my own, making sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, along with updates so you always feel confident they’re in good hands. I strive to create a calm, consistent environment so dogs can thrive even while their owners are away. I'm currently working retail part time so I am flexible during the week and weekends. I usually have Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays off. Can do weekends per request I can take care of your furbabies however you need if they require certain medications, feeding schedules, walking or litter cleaning schedules I am flexible to work around you and their needs.
“Gillian is great and truly loves dogs. She sends plenty of photos of her snuggling with our dogs and they’re always so happy & well cared for when we get home.”

“Kristen was good to Benji. She communicated during her entire stay and made sure all of his needs were met so that he always had company and was happy. I will most definitely be using her for future house sittings.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for the past few years while pet parents are away. I am able to feed, walk and medicate dogs as needed, since I work in the veterinary world. I work full time at a local veterinary clinic 4 days a week, so that leaves 3 full days to cherish and love pets while pet parents are away on vacation. I have lived with cats all my life and have always loved visiting my friends and grandparents dogs whenever I was over there. I have also done some private dog and cat sitting with referrals from friends and family.
About: What sets me apart is the individualized, stress-free environment I provide. Since I don’t have pets or children of my own, your dog will enjoy my 100% undivided attention in a clean, quiet, and smoke-free home. Growing up with family pets and helping on my grandfather’s farm gave me a natural, calm, and patient approach to animal care. I am highly organized and communicative, so you will always receive regular photo updates and total peace of mind while you are away. I am also comfortable with puppy care and senior care, as well as administering oral medications. Whether your pet needs the extra patience and frequent breaks of a puppy or the quiet, gentle routine of a senior, I am committed to ensuring their schedule and care stay exactly as it is at home. As a freelance professional working from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet care my top priority throughout the day. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods; instead, they will enjoy constant companionship and a consistent routine. Safety and trust are my top priorities. My home is a very clean, organized, and peaceful environment, which I believe is essential for a pet to feel secure. I live in a pet-free and smoke-free household with my husband, meaning there are no other animals or children to cause stress or unpredictable situations. Since I work from home, I provide constant supervision. Your pet will never be left unattended in open areas. Although I have an open shared space outdoors, I strictly follow a 'leash-only' policy for outside time to ensure your pet is always safe and by my side. We are also lucky to live very close to a local park, where I take pets for secure, on-leash walks to get fresh air and exercise. I understand how important it is to know your pet is doing well. I commit to sending daily photo and video updates so you can see how happy and relaxed they are. My home is a 'home away from home' where I follow your specific instructions—from feeding schedules to medical needs—to the letter. I treat every guest as if they were my own family pet.
About: Hello! I have 1 dog and 2 cats so I have plenty of experience for caring for animals. I’ve always been an animal lover, I’ve had a lot of rodents in the past as well. Animals are a passion of mine and I’m currently in school to becoming a vet in the future. I have experience caring for pets by ensuring they are well-fed, exercised, and comfortable in their environment. I'm attentive to their behavior and needs, and I prioritize their safety and well-being at all times. What sets me apart is my patience and ability to build trust with animals, even those who may be shy or anxious, especially with anxious dogs as my dog is one of them. I'm also reliable, and committed to following any specific care instructions provided by owners. I'm available basically everyday of the week as I currently don't have any other job. We can talk more about the details when we get in touch. As of right now I only care for pets in clients homes. I go on many walks throughout the day and play a lot with them. I make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention. I follow the owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, and any special care. I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they are stress free. I ensure they are fed on time, walked or exercised as needed, and given lots of attention. I also keep the space clean and provide updates to the owner.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Thorold
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Thorold on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of June 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.
