“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!”
“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 😃”
“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!!”
“My dog was immediately at ease and comfortable with Jackie and my cats liked her a lot as well. She listened to all my instructions. I will certainly book with her again.”
“Lauren is always great with our dog Ruby. We had a last minute family function to attend and she made sure our dog was in good hands. She was even able to add an extra visit as we had to leave a bit early. Definitely have peace of mind when booking with Lauren while we're away.”
“I need a sitter who is reliable to watch my service dog when I cannot be with her. Holly is an efficient communicator and I trust her in caring for my service dog.”
“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.”
“Samantha was an outstanding kitty sitter during a three week trip. She was consistent and always went above and beyond for our fur babies. Our cats absolutely adored her and every day Samantha sent updates and photos. Samantha didn't just take care of their basic needs, she made them feel loved during our absence. Samantha is our first choice as a kitty sitter for future trips!”
“Jenny was flexible, professional, and on time while caring for my two cats. I appreciated that she sent me visit descriptions and photos every day. I would certainly be happy to have Jenny to care for my pets in the future. Thanks Jenny!”
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.
“Jonathan was very easy to communicate and work with for this boarding . Very flexible ,helped Murphy enjoy his walks whilst we were away. Follows a very step wise approach which is very convenient and pleasing to deal with .”
“Emma is fantastic with my three pets! She communicates well, asks questions if something is unclear, and follows all my instructions. She is our go-to sitter for excellent petcare.”
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.
“Anna was a great pet sitter. She checked in on 2 cats for a week, making sure they had food, cleaned their litter and sent us excellent updates throughout the week. Even responding long after the check was done because I missed her original messages. Thank you for taking great care of our babies!”
“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!”
“Amazing communication, punctual, and very prepared. I was very nervous using a dog walker for our 11 week old puppy but Justine was amazing! Gave us an update and even photos after the visit.”
“Collin was so flexible and responsive when we needed care for our dog and cat at the last minute! We felt very comfortable that they were in good hands, and we look forward to having Collin pet-sit for us in the future.”
About: Hi there! I have over five years of full-time experience working with animals of all kinds, and a lifetime of caring for my own pets. My background includes hands-on work at horse barns and caring for a wide variety of species—including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, small animals, and even exotic pets. I’m deeply passionate about animal care and committed to providing a safe, loving, and enriched environment for every animal I work with. I understand that each pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their individual needs, personalities, and routines. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family—with patience, compassion, and expert attention. I’m also the proud pet parent of Athena, my 3-year-old Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix. She’s my loyal adventure buddy and comes with me everywhere I can take her—whether we’re camping, hiking, shopping, or discovering new places. She’s friendly, active, and well-socialized, and she brings so much joy to our daily routines. Athena helps keep life exciting, and she reminds me every day just how special the bond between human and animal can be. I work full-time during the week but I am available to provide pet care services in the evenings and on my days off. If given a month’s notice I can arrange my work schedule to accommodate you and your furry friends. This flexibility allows me to assist busy pet parents who need reliable, loving care outside of typical work hours. Whether it’s evening dog walks, overnight sitting, or visits, I’m committed to being there for your pets when you need me most. You can count on me to offer consistent, attentive care tailored to your pet’s schedule and needs. In my home, I provide a loving and safe environment where my pets feel comfortable and secure. I prioritize their well-being by offering regular meals, plenty of cuddles, and engaging enrichment activities to keep them happy and stimulated. Creating a peaceful, nurturing space is my top priority and your animals would be treated as if they were my own.
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.

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 August 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 632 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Thorold. About 85% 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.
