About: o Self motivated with a upbeat, positive attitude and effective problem solver. o Work with a high level of integrity and honesty. o Provided exceptional customer service, treating customers with the utmost of respect. o Highly reliable and dependable. o Life long learner. I have years of experience working on farms dealing with all sizes of animals. I love to watch animal behaviour and learn from them. I also enjoy communicating with pet owners and other animal lovers about what I observe. I always make sure my pets are cared for with the best care I can provide. You can trust me with your pet or welcome me into your home for a trusted companion while you are busy making the life for them. Thank you for your consideration.
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!
About: I’ve gotten experience with various animals over the years. I love to support them and help them feel happy and cared for. I’m careful not to teach bad habits. I listen to what they want and need. Tell me what you need and I can fit something in! I am available most of the time in someway - so we can work it out! I use a calm tone where I don’t overexcite the animal and provide good manners reinforcement and also play and engagement. I make sure I am predictable and don’t cause the animal to be uncertain. I follow training and routine that the animal is most used to. I assert my boundaries so the animal knows what to expect from me. I like to give the animal space and respect. I also love to show affection or approval through touch sometimes and especially through positive communication and rewards.
About: My father was a farmer I used to feed our dogs and cats since 8 years old administered flea treatments, give them baths, walked and played with them. I am able to do cat sitting or dog sitting and walks at clients homes or at my home sitting/boarding and bathing Mondays through Friday’s. I take care of your pets as family and my own with love patience, respect and kindness. I am a calm individual who has been through a lot of situations with dogs and cats.
“Thanks so much for being able to walk the girls with such a short notice. It’s wonderful to have reliable people in our neighborhood. Not only do I walk their dog Cooper on Rover but now they also are providers. They sent great photos and it’s clear our dogs enjoyed their time with David and Jenna.”

About: Hi! I’m Laura, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for well over 10 years. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as family, friends’, and neighbours’ animals, and I’ve had experience with a wide variety of dog breeds and personalities, including small breeds, large guardian breeds and high-energy herding breeds. I'm the type to occasionally and very casually (and safely) cross the street to ask if I can pet your dog. I’m responsible, active, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’d love to help keep your pets happy and comfortable at home, out on a walk, or just by checking in. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m a mature student in a hybrid program, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time with the pets in my care. I’m happy to follow your routines and instructions closely, and I understand that caring for your home is part of the responsibility too. I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I give your animals. House sitting is my favourite way to care for pets because I know how much easier it can be for them to stay in their own home and follow their usual routine while their people are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means an energetic walk, plenty of fetch or playtime, a quiet companion for a shy cat, or simply keeping an older dog comfortable and settled.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life through my family for thirty-three years and cats for twenty-five. Two years ago I adopted my first dog and greatest friend in life, a Golden Retriever named Chewie! Twelve years ago I initially fostered but later adopted two Bombay cats I named Luke and Leia. Luke passed away in 2020 but Leia is still as young as ever at twelve years old! I’m currently looking to make a career change from human services into animal care and seek further knowledge of animals to further my passion for animals! I have a fenced yard for my two year old Golden Retriever so he can roam the yard and do his business as he pleases.
About: If you are new to Rover use the link below to get 20$ off. NIKHIK20406, https://www.rover.com/sit/nikhik20406. I have taken care of pets since a very young age. I'm reliable, attentive, and I care for animals with love and patience to ensure they feel comfortable and happy. We have a 2 year old golden doodle, Max who can keep your fur baby engaged. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible to give attention to my furry clients, ensuring they are fed, hydrated and have enough playtime. I have a big fenced backyard for the doggies to run around and enjoy their playtime. I ensure the small dogs and big dogs have separate playtime. You can trust your pets will be in good hands under my care.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I started going door to door in my neighbourhood offering dog walking when I was around 7 years old, and I’ve always loved spending time with animals. I’ve had many different dogs over the years, including a Yorkie Shih Tzu, Vizsla, Border Collie, Chocolate Lab, Pitbull Lab mix, Golden Retriever, and a mixed breed, so I’ve gotten to experience lots of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve spent lots of time training my own dogs, practicing tricks, leash manners, recall, and basic commands. I’ve also helped with grooming, brushing, bathing, nail care, and just making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Growing up, I was always the person my neighbours trusted to watch their dogs while they were away. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and what makes them happy. My schedule is pretty much always open. I’m free mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need someone last minute, a quick walk, or someone to hang out with your dog while you’re gone, I’m happy to help. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so I know they’re family. I’ll make sure your dog gets lots of love, attention, playtime, fresh water, and of course treats (if allowed 😊). If I’m in your home, I’ll always clean up after myself and leave it cleaner than when I got there. I live on an acreage with a big fenced yard, so there’s lots of room to run and play. I also have a long leash outside for dogs that like a little more freedom but still need to stay on a leash. I have two dogs of my own—Pepper (3) and Jaxson (11). They’re both super sweet, but if your dog isn’t good with other dogs, that’s totally okay. Mine can stay downstairs while your pup has the upstairs all to themselves. My house is non-smoking, and I have extra toys, bowls, and lots of dr treats. I honestly just love dogs and would love to hang out with yours. :)
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular schedule, provide updates with photos, and ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. Safety, patience, and compassion are my top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of companionship. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member will feel comfortable and secure. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I’d give my own.
About: I’ve always grown up with animals. My family currently has 2 cats and one pug. I usually feed and walk the dog. There is lots of room for play time and walks! We have a fenced yard. *Update* Our beloved pug, Milo, who is seen in my profile pictures, has recently passed away on June 3rd, so it’s been quite devastating. His passing really prompted me to do more Rover gigs because I miss having a doggo around.. Currently, I work from home, so i’m available anytime! I mainly do many house sittings, and can offer lots of love and cuddles before, during and after work. Rest assured your pet, they would be spoiled with love and so much affection.. I have a spacious home. The home has a large fenced yard for your doggo to play with no issues: I am also pretty flexible and can stay at your place, just so your fur baby is comfy. We can most definitely accommodate to dogs, since we are in a backsplit home, with a fenced yard. I have a cat named Niko. Niko is pretty good with other dogs, as Milo lived with us. He mostly hangout in the basement, where it is cooler and also he is very shy and timid and prefers that.

Although I work in a hair salon, my mom and I dog sit together. She works from home and is home all hours of the day, so if im not home my mom is home to watch and care for your furbaby. I am available on weekdays and weekends as well as overnights and holidays! I have a large fenced in backyard, as well as a sunroom that has been turned into a doggy playroom:). I have a five year old aussiedoodle who is friendly with all ages and breeds of dogs.

About: I come from Ecuador where having a dog as part of the family is very common - so as a dog-lover here in Port Colborne, I am happy to provide the wise loving care you want for your pup. I have a sweet female 2-year-old golden doodle who is totally part of my family. I’d welcome your dog, too - whether it’s for a walk, a day-long play date, or a sleep over. When caring for pets, I feed them, give them fresh water, walk or play with them, and clean up after them. I make sure they're comfortable and happy.
About: Growing up we constantly had many different pets. May it be cats, dogs, birds or even fish. I love animals and the joy they bring, so as soon as I got my license I started a successful pet sitting business back home. Now that I have moved to Port Hope, I am looking to start back providing care and assistance to my fellow neighbors and their beloved animals. I am extremely patient and kind. I love all animals and if I am not familiar with a particular care process, I am happy to learn. I look forward to being able to provide my services to anyone who needs it. I do currently work 8.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but my work is on a hybrid model and I live close to work. I am willing to come and help before work, after work and even on my lunch breaks if needed. My weekends are very open and flexible as well. I currently rent and have 2 cats, so taking care of your pet in my home is possible but restricted. While taking care of pets in their home. I will abide by all house rules. I will visit your home and provide a minimum of 3 walks a day for drop ins, if I am housesitting then more care will be provided. I will also brush your pets and if you wish more grooming services, this can always be discussed.

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 Upper End. 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 Upper End 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 Upper End 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 Upper End 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.
