“We are so grateful to have found Sarah to watch our cats while we were away. One of our cats is extremely timid and Sarah was very kind and patient with her - she's the only cat sitter that our girl has ever liked. We appreciated the detailed updates and photos. It brought us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be hiring Sarah to watch our cats in the future.”
“Emily took great care of our cat and rabbit while we were away. She did some other tasks at the house which is greatly appreciated. Emily is reliable and a pleasure to work with! Thank you!”
“We had Andrea cat sit our 3 boys for a couple days. She kept in touch throughout those few days always making sure our cats were doing well. She sent lots of pictures and detailed reports on her visits. She gave them so much love and attention. We were so happy and impressed with her and will be using her to cat sit whenever we need. Could not recommend her enough 😃”
“Holly is a great sitter! She took such good care of our cat when we're away and sent lots of photos and videos. I appreciate her attention to detail and going above and beyond with the care she gives. Highly recommend booking her!”
“I highly recommend Sam. She was absolutely fantastic dropping in to take care of my 4 cats, including administering the one cat's daily inhaler for asthma. Sam was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and thorough in letting me know how everyone was doing. Sam made my babies and myself very comfortable and confident in being very well taken care of. I look forward to having Sam back in future!”
About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for animals on Rover for almost a year now as a Star Sitter, but I’m not new to caring for animals in general. My dog of 17 years recently passed away, and I miss having that daily companionship. I’ve had pets my whole life, over 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including senior pets, and I have a big heart for all animals. I offer private, one-on-one care, so your pup gets my full attention rather than sharing me with other dogs. I work from home and love getting outside for walks or park visits, so your pup will get plenty of attention and exercise. I know how special our furry friends are, and I’d treat yours like one of my own. I work full-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule for pet care. I love getting outside for walks during lunch and in the evenings—walking your dog would bring me just as much joy as it brings them! I love stopping by clients’ homes to give their pets a chance for a pee break and some company. Being greeted with a wagging tail always makes my day! I’m happy to top up food and water, play in the backyard, and make sure everything’s clean and comfortable before I go.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past five years through dog sitting for family and friends, as well as regularly walking and caring for my own dogs. I have experience with feeding, walks, playing, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and am excited to build more experience and meet new furry friends caring for dogs through Rover. My availability changes throughout the year as I balance school. Whenever I have free time, I’d love to spend it caring for your pet! I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and communicate clearly so you know exactly when I’m available. I always follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, or lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with any questions I may have, messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.
“Jade was amazing! We booked her in last minute and she was great! She made the time to come meet our cats before her visits and was super responsive throughout the week. Would highly recommend if you need someone local.”
“Jacqueline is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She took excellent care of our little girl while we were away. It was Scarlett's first time without her humans, and considering she has a tough past, we were concerned about how she would feel. Jacqueline made sure that Scarlett felt safe and comfortable, offering kindness, soft words, and continued patience. She was always on time and made sure to send us photos and updates 🙂 We would definitely recommend Jacqueline and hope that she would want to sit for Scarlett again in the future 💖 Thanks again, Jacqueline!”
“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!”
“Johnathon did a perfect job caring for our energetic dog. Lou took to him right away and even got to play with his pup Finn. I definitely recommend Johnathon for your pet service needs.”
About: Extremely experienced and have been taking care of animals for over 15 years! I treat each pet like a family member with unconditional love <3 I am currently at home full time, so I will have unlimited time to spend with each and every fur baby! My schedule is very open; available for boarding almost 7 days a week! Caring for animals isn't just a job to me; it is natural and part of my every day life! Great size family home with lots of room and comfy furniture for them to feel right at home. I have a fully fenced in back yard, offering lots of play time outside. Awesome neighborhood for ample walks as well. I do have two friendly cats; both love and are used to dogs. If the need for crating is requested, I do have one available.
About: I have two Goldendoodles who are truly my best friends, and I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life! I’ve always loved caring for and spending time with animals. I’ve also had experience looking after my neighbours’ dogs, including house sitting, walking, feeding, playing, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs both in my neighbourhood and in my hometown, and I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making them feel right at home! I’m currently in my third year at Brock University, studying Forensic Psychology and Criminal Justice! I’m available every afternoon, with full availability from Thursday through Sunday. When I’m caring for your pet, they have my full attention and are always my priority. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me. I will ensure your dog is always in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I love keeping dogs active, engaged, and having fun throughout the day so they’re happy, relaxed, and ready for a great night’s sleep!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding environment, where I helped care for dogs, supervise play, follow feeding routines, and make sure pets were safe and comfortable. I’m comfortable handling energetic dogs as well as calmer dogs who prefer a slower pace. I am a university student at Brock, so I have a flexible schedule and can work around my classes. I’m available for walks and visits during my available weekday and weekend hours. I’m happy to discuss a schedule that works best for you and your dog. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort during every visit. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication, and other routines when needed. I’m attentive to dogs’ behaviour and make sure they are secure before, during, and after every walk or visit.
“Monica went above and beyond during our visit. Gave them love and attention. She did extra things for our furbabies. When we did our first meet I knew instantly she was kind and her kids were so sweet with our babies. Thank you again for looking after our babies. The photos made me happy to see our furbabies doing so well under your care. Sending you best wishes”
“We asked Shannon again to look after our two cats while we were out for a few days and as always she does a spectacular job with them! One of our cats is shy and the other is outgoing and she makes sure they both get love and of course all the necessities taken care of as well. We always trust Shannon because we know when we are away she takes good care of our cats.”
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have experience caring for them from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, and giving dogs plenty of attention and companionship. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶💕 My schedule is fairly flexible since I work part time, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs and schedules. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible and can often be flexible with drop ins, walks, and sitting. When I’m not working or taking care of my own pets, I have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules and see what works best for both you and your pet! 🐾 I provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’ll follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other care they need. My own kitties and dogs have their set routine, so i will make sure to always stick to yours routine! I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave everything clean and tidy. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and individual needs.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy getting to know each one’s unique personality! I’m comfortable with everyday care including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I also have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand they may need extra patience, gentler activity, and care. I’m experienced with giving oral medications when needed and am comfortable following specific care instructions. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a cozy day on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. I work full-time Monday to Friday, so my availability for dog walking and drop-in visits is primarily in the evenings (6PM onwards) and on weekends I have fully open availability. I’m happy to discuss my availability to make sure each pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and happy!

About: Hi, I'm Kirsten, but you can call me Kirty as all my friends do! I've been looking after animals for other people in my life for as long as I can remember. This is where my passion lies and I want to spend as much time with animals as I can. I have years of experience with cats and dogs of all ages and breeds. Next up on my list of things to learn is animal CPR! I will update once I'm certified. I work a part-time job with fairly flexible hours, and have had to balance both working and pet care many times over the last 5 years. My main priority is to do whatever is best for the pets, so I always find a way to fit them into my schedule. I'm very easy-going so we can always find something that works, together! I've spent many days and nights having slumber parties with pets at the owners houses. Whatever the pet needs, I'm there! I've had to follow special diets, provide medications, and even dealt with night terrors. I love to care for every animal as if they're my own!

Kari truly goes above and beyond. As soon as we have a vacation booked I book her services as I know 10000% that she will treat our cats with so much love and care. From her detailed reports and photo updates to her cleanliness and attention to detail when she visits, I have zero worries in the world and absolutely nothing but positive things to say about her. Our boys love her and I know your pets will thank you for introducing this new friend to them, too. Thank you so much for the incredible peace of mind, yet again, Kari!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Thorold on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 618 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Thorold. About 87% of Thorold sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
