“Kari was absolutely amazing! I can not speak enough positives about her, she far exceeded my expectations and made me feel very comfortable the entire time. One of my cats is more shy/ nervous around new people and I fully expected him to hide the whole time, however, by the end of the week my shy cat was sitting on her lap cuddling! She put both me and the cats at ease. I highly highly recommend Kari!”
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.
“Jacqueline is amazing she arrives with a big dose of energy today with the terrible snow storm she had cleats on her boots and away they went and Kyle had a ball with her running threw the snow .”
“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: Hi there! I’m new to Rover but not new to caring for animals. 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 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.
“Once again Emily took wonderful care of our cat and rabbit. She is flexible and dependable. We had no worries leaving the kritters in Emily’s care. Thank you Emily!!”

“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!”
“Excellent service above and beyond! Marissa accepted my last minute service, she was super quick to respond and very friendly. She was very caring and dealth with my cats mess (didn't have to) 10/10 recommended.”
“Holly to the rescue! I found myself in hospital. I can bring my service dog with me however I am unable to walk and/or get her food and meds ready. Not that friends are unreliable but lead busy lives. I arranged Holly to have 3 visits during the day to offer Patty relief. I knew she was coming. She is prompt and attentive. She was able to navigate my service dog in a social/public setting anticipating the problems she may face. I can focus on my healing and the worry of meeting Patty's needs are under control with Holly to help. Without her, I would be organizing various people who may back out last minute with their own priorities. Holly has a cheerful demeanor and her work ethic is admirable.”

About: Hi! I’m a psychologist with a deep understanding of emotional and behavioral needs — and I bring that same empathy and awareness into the care of every dog I host. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I truly connect with them. I pay close attention to their personality, energy levels, routines, and emotional signals, so they feel safe, calm, and understood while away from home. My approach combines affection, and gentle care. Whether your dog is sensitive, anxious, energetic, or simply loves company, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. My goal is: for your dog to feel loved, relaxed, and emotionally secure while in my care. We work remotely, so your dog will rarely be alone. If we need to run errands, absences are short and never longer than three hours We live in a calm, pet-free home with no children, which allows us to give your dog our full attention and care. We only host one dog at a time to ensure personalized care and a peaceful environment. Our neighborhood has plenty of green spaces perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. Safety and hygiene are always a priority. Our home is kept clean, secure, and dog-friendly, and I carefully follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special needs your dog may have. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.
“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.”
“My husband and I went away for two weeks, and we rebooked with Becca because she always goes above and beyond! She checked in on our two cats daily, and made sure they got plenty of love, food and play time! She also cleaned and filled the water bowls and the litter box daily which was great! We know that with Becca our cats will always be well taken care of while we are away, and we will definitely be booking with her again for future trips☺️”

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 $23.87 per visit (as of July 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 676 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Thorold. About 86% 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.
