About: What truly sets me apart is my calm, confident energy and my belief that every dog deserves love, safety, and stimulation — even when you can’t be there. I treat every pet like my own, because I know how much they mean to you. I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, various types of lizards and chicks. I work full time very close to home. I am available most weekends and evenings for walks or any other needs you may have ! Large unfenced yard Lots of walks, long leashes for free exploration. Can take to dog parks if needed. At home, all animals are allowed on the furniture. Bed included.
About: Animals have always been one of the greatest loves of my life. They’re family to me, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I have experience with both dogs and cats, with my deepest experience coming from loving and caring for my own two dogs: Rocky, who was by my side for nearly 18 years, and Snoopy, who is nine years old. Caring for them through different stages of life has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how much the little things matter, including familiar routines, gentle reassurance, and noticing when they need extra comfort. I have a special soft spot for senior pets and understand that every animal has their own personality and pace. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet company, or extra cuddles, I’ll take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable. My promise is simple: to care for your pet with the same love, compassion, and attention I would want for my own. Caring for pets is already a meaningful part of my everyday life. I plan each booking around the time and attention your pet needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. We can discuss your usual routine and confirm availability before booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. Before each booking, I’ll learn about their routine, personality, dietary needs, and anything that helps them feel secure. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and respect your home when caring for them there. You can also expect photos and updates, so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away.
“Michelle was wonderful and helped make our 10 days away much easier. Great feedback about how our cat was truly doing with pictures which were lovely to see. Michelle was reliable, conscientious and friendly towards our timid boy. Happy to hear they became friends :)”
About: I have had dogs nearly my entire life and love their individual personalities and quirks. I have experience pilling animals, and can help trim nails/bathe pets as needed. I am available 24/7, 365, as long as I have proper notice. I know emergencies can happen and because I make my own work schedule, I can be available when you need. I have a one bedroom apartment, so would be best suited for cat sitting, small - medium sized dogs that would enjoy a residential neighborhood or small park walks. In your environment, I'm happy to follow any specific rules or needs you may have for home or pet care! There is no request too strange to ensure the safety and comfort for you and your animals!
“Grace is very professional and reliable. I felt totally comfortable leaving our 2 cats in her care, and she did a great job with them. She also made sure everything was clean when we got home, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I am a caring responsible pet lover, I will enjoy & treat your pet like it was my own :) I can offer cuddles, love, and kindness. I look forward to meeting you & your fur baby!

“Kaeley, was beyond and above my expectations, my very scared cat Max, was comfortable with her, which is the main concern of mine. I was quite pleased with her communication and pictures she sent me. She is very clean, quiet and respects your home...I highly recommend her..and would book her again ..”
About: **About me** I am a business owner, I have a dog that is super social but if your dog doesn't play well with other dogs then my dog can go to my parents ( that's what I usually end up doing anyways) This way the dog that I am watching gets my full attention. I am lucky because I can pick and choose my work so I can be around the house for longer hours & all day if I need to. **About my home/services** I live in a large apartment downtown Burlington with a balcony that is accessible to the street level. It can be closed off to allow the dog to sit outside with me. Your dog has free range to roam my place, I live really close to Spencer Smith park and love to take walks by the water. When I dog sit, generally people bring over their own dog bed, food and toys. They let me know how many times a day to walk the dog and if it needs any medications given and/or any special instructions and I would be happy to take care of it. **About my neighborhood** I live right downtown. I have Spencer Smith Park right across the street. It's a great easily accessible neighborhood, with lots of really nice areas to talk the dog out for walk. **What to expect** We would go on a great deal of walks, fetch & catch. **Special rules or requests** We can discuss any special needs in person. I work from home so my schedule is focused on how I determine it will go. I work for you, there for I am available when you need me. When caring for pets—whether in my home or my client’s—I focus on creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, comfort level, and personality so they always feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, keep doors and windows secure, and maintain a clean, tidy space throughout my visit. I’m attentive to details like food measurements, medication schedules, and litter‑box cleanliness to ensure your pet’s health and comfort. In my own home, my two cats (a mama and her baby) enjoy a peaceful, structured environment, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. Your pet’s safety, emotional well‑being, and routine always come first, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I give my own.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect
About: I have cared for pets from friends and family and have experience working with rescue dogs who needed extra patience, understanding, and care due to behavioral challenges. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently working part-time so I am flexible and available to meet your needs! My weekends are usually free, and so are my mornings and afternoons. I have a fenced backyard, and a 2 year old prince, Atlas, who is an outdoor cat and can be of lovely company. I live on a quiet street and near lots of greenery and scenic pathways. Perfect for long enjoyable walks.
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a child! Growing up I would spend time with my uncles dog Diesel! I love walking dogs and teaching them new tricks and of course giving them lots of treats to reinforce good behaviour and habits and maybe even an extra treat just for being cute ! i’m excited to offer pet care services! I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while under my care. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention! I’m very flexible and looking forward to discussing and following your pets preferences and routines ! I live in a condo & have a dog park nearby. Depending on your needs and routines that you have established for your pets I can care for them as needed so they can still maintain a sense of comfort when they’re away from home!
About: My name is Carla and i love animals. I have a pet myself. He's a 8 year old Siamese cat named Tommy! I love my pet with all my heart and wouldn't let anything bad to happen to him.

I'll ensure your pet is safe and well taken care off while you're away, at the same time trying to minimize the effects of your absence by keeping your pet distracted. I strive to provide quality service that includes: frequent visits, overnight staying, weekend sitting (day and night) and pet walks. If you're looking for a loving pet-sitter that really cares for your pet, don't hesitate to call. Thank you! I have a lot of free time and I would love to do more pet sitting.

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
