About: I grew up with pets and love taking care of them. My first pet Barney was my best friend growing up. We would play every day and I would feed her, brush and bathe her and clean her litter. She was a special part of the family for 16 years. My next pet Aiden was a very special part of my life. I always took good care of him and he was a real comfort to me when I was feeling down. I had another pet Rambo who just recently passed. She was almost 17 years old. I saved her because nobody wanted her and we always had a special bond. I appreciate their unique personalities. I am very caring and gentle. I currently work for Vogue Models & Talent which is based in Hamilton, Toronto and Vancouver. It's a fun and creative job and I enjoy it very much. I have a fenced in yard and my house is very clean and safe. I always keep my eye on the pets I care for.
About: Lover of all types of animals. I grew up on a farm, so I have experience caring for all types of animals since I was young. Dogs and cats, livestock, and small pets.

I am passionate about the welfare of all animals, and I would be honoured to be trusted with the care of your fur babies. I work part time on the weekends, so I am free all week for pet care. If you book with me during the weekend, the longest your pet will spend alone is 4-6 hours. I have experience caring for various types of pets with many different routines and requirements. I adapt well to the pet’s routine, and I can provide free care for plants or fish while in the home. I have experience administering medication to many types of animals, and I am happy to provide frequent updates on your pets care if you would like.
“Victoria was great to work with and took good care of our pup for walks and potty breaks. Her communication was great and she was reliable. I think our pup felt comfortable with her and we'll hire her again!”
“It was my first time having Michelle walk Bella, and I couldn’t be happier. She was punctual, professional, and clearly very experienced with dogs. Bella absolutely loved her right away, which says a lot. She took the time to make Bella feel comfortable and gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again.”

About: I’ve had/taken care of many different types of dogs/cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up with alot of animals in the house and currently have 4 dogs & 3 cats at home! I just moved back to Niagara and I’m looking to hangout with some cats and/or walk some pups in my downtime to get them and myself outside a bit!

“Mateo has been absolutely fantastic to work with. Our dog can be challenging at times and yet he was not worried to work with her. He is punctual, knowledgeable, kind, caring and a pleasure to work with. We would certainly recommend him and hope to use his services for a long time!”
About: I'm a big time dog fan, from growing up with a shepherd cross who was over 100lbs (and a cat). I've taken care of over 20 kinds of dogs, and am comfortable with most breeds. I live in an apartment so when the weather is good (and even when it's not) I would prefer to be outside for as much time as possible, and a dog buddy would be ideal for big day walks. I live on the top floor of my building (about 30 steps up), so unless I can carry your pet I wouldn't recommend myself for a senior dog. I have free time a few days a week; I work in the hospitality industry, so I'm busier on the weekends but definitely reach out if you're looking , as my schedule changes frequently. I prefer being outside and going on walks to staying indoors, so all dogs that stay with me definitely get their exercise unless they have mobility issues.
About: Your pups paradise🐾: a calm, quiet, child-free cozy oasis. No other pets = full attention for your pup🐶 Experience caring for puppies and aging dogs. We plan to adopt our own puppy soon but in the meantime would be so excited to visit with your fur baby!☺️ We both work from home and have a fenced in yard so your pup will get lots of attention and outdoor time. 🍃We love to go for walks (quiet streets and trails nearby). Your dog is welcome to make themselves at home and snuggle up on the couch🤍. Always will be supervised in the fenced in yard and get lots of walks. It’s not necessary to be in the crate as we have areas of the house where your pup can roam safely.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for nearly 30 years and have had pets for most of my life. Over the years I’ve looked after cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and at one point my partner and I cared for seven animals at the same time. I genuinely love spending time with animals and understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and quirks. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply providing a calm and dependable presence, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d give my own. As a photographer, I also enjoy capturing the occasional photo of happy pets to share with their owners while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have the flexibility of running my own business. This allows me to be available for walks, visits, and pet sitting throughout the week while still maintaining a dependable schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that keeps their animals comfortable, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routines as closely as possible. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their schedule, environment, and expectations remain consistent. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or bedtime routines, I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs and ensure they feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I have experience with crate-trained dogs and understand the importance of maintaining those routines when requested. I am also comfortable supervising pets in securely fenced yards and always prioritize safety during outdoor time and walks. Above all, I treat every pet and home with the same respect, care, and attention I would expect for my own.
About: Ever since I’ve known, my family has had multiple pets including many dogs. My wife and I have looked after numerous dogs from friends and family and also had a Cockapoo of our own that sadly passed in 2018. I have a lot of patience and willing to have an enjoyable time with any dog I have been retired since 2024 and am looking at filling some of my time looking after dogs and getting some exercise while walking your dog I would safely walk your dog and pu after it and make sure every precaution is taken to keeping your dog safe from other dogs or people if needed

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
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.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Unity Side Road. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Unity Side Road after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Unity Side Road with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 Unity Side Road 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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
