Isabelle took amazing care of our cat Layla while we were on vacation. It was nice to have picture updates while we were gone and see Layla was being well-fed and looked after. Isabelle will be the first person we call when we go away in the future :) Merci Isabelle!

About: 🌐Bilingue FR/EN | +30 ans d’expérience | ⛑️Premiers soins chiens & chats — Croix-Rouge. Fiable et engagée : lorsque j’accepte une garde, je prends cet engagement au sérieux. 🐾 Animaux de tous âges bienvenus! J’affectionne tout particulièrement les animaux seniors, sensibles ou à mobilité réduite, pour avoir accompagné mes propres compagnons jusque dans leur grand âge. 🦮 De la séance de gratouilles aux promenades et aux jeux actifs, j’adapte mon attention à la personnalité, au rythme et aux habitudes de chacun. Promenades sécuritaires, renforcement positif, beaucoup de « Bon chien! » et gâteries selon vos consignes. 🧹 Les petits oopsies? Ça arrive! Je nettoie, tout simplement. Je suis également à l’aise avec l’administration de médicaments oraux. Bien-être, sécurité et plaisir sont mes priorités. 🌎 J’ai beaucoup voyagé avec ma famille poilue et je connais d’expérience les enjeux de choisir, puis de faire confiance à la personne qui prendra soin de son compagnon, pour quelques heures comme pour un long séjour. 🔐 CONFIANCE : propre, ponctuelle et fiable, en plus je suis certifiée en premiers soins pour humains et je détiens une cote de sécurité de niveau Secret du gouvernement fédéral. Pour votre tranquillité d’esprit lors de longs séjours, je peux également arroser vos plantes et ramasser votre courrier pendant votre absence. 📸 BONUS : excellente photographe! Attendez-vous à recevoir de jolies nouvelles de votre compagnon. 🌿 Dans la vie, je suis artiste-chercheure (PhD) et écrivaine en mouvement et écologie. 🐾 Vous pouvez me confier votre famille poilue! Daytime visits Overnight stays Weekdays, weekends, and statutory holidays Short-term and long-term bookings For stays of 6 nights or longer, I'm happy to travel up to 250 km from Gatineau/Ottawa. Client’s home: I believe pets feel safest when their routines are respected. Before each stay in your home, I take the time to learn your dog's habits, favourite words, feeding schedule, medications, exercise routine, and any special needs. I'm comfortable administering oral medications (pills and oral syringes), checking for and safely removing ticks after walks, wiping muddy or snowy paws, towel-drying after rain or swimming, cleaning food and water bowls, and handling the occasional "oopsie" with patience and good humour. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, mobility, energy, or behaviour and will let you know promptly if anything seems unusual. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing your companion is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Jonny came to watch my 2 dogs and 3 cats while I was out of town for the evening and it went perfectly. I don't go out often because of the stress of a pet sitter, but Jonny did such a good job of making me comfortable and providing amazing care to my pets. My pets love him, even my shy cat that doesn't really like anyone. I will be booking with Jonny again!

C’est ma première fois faisant affaire avec ce type de service et je n’ai pas été déçu! Katrhyne s’est offerte pour venir la veille pour rencontrer mon chien et avoir plus d’explications. Elle est restée en contact à chaque visite en m’envoyant des photos de mes animaux. Excellent service!

About: I have cared for my family’s dogs for periods ranging from a few days to several months, and I have regularly lived with dogs for long periods of time. Through this experience, I understand that caring for animals requires time, patience, responsibility, and dedication. I truly enjoy helping animals feel safe, calm, and comfortable, and I always try to create a caring environment where they can feel relaxed and secure. Im available friday after 12m to Sunday, I would plan my daily routine to make sure your dog is included throughout the day, with dedicated time for rest, feeding, playtime, and exercise. Your dog would not only be cared for by one person, but welcomed as part of a family environment. I genuinely enjoy the company of animals and feel comfortable understanding their behaviors, needs, and personalities, which helps me provide attentive and caring support. I live in a large apartment with plenty of open space, around 50 square meters available for pets to move around comfortably. Even large dogs can move freely, and my home is free of fragile objects, so your dog will not feel restricted or stressed while staying with me. I also live near parks and pet-friendly walking areas, which makes it easy to provide regular outdoor exercise and enjoyable walks. I understand the needs and behaviors of animals, and I would adapt my daily routine to the schedule and specific needs of your pet. I am very protective of animals, so your dog would always be safe and carefully supervised with me, especially in open or public spaces. I believe in building trust and discipline through patience, consistency, and positive interaction rather than using force. In general, I connect well with animals and enjoy giving them a sense of safety, comfort, and confidence so they can feel protected and truly enjoy their time with me.

Nevaeh was great! She took on our request very last minute, and really got us out of a jam caused by another sitter that cancelled on us a day and a half before we were leaving. After meeting her we knew that our cats would be in very good hands. Thank you Nevaeh!

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs, and caring for my own 12 year old cocker spaniel has taught me so much about responsibility, patience, and compassion. She has digestive issues, so I prepare her meals myself and closely monitor her health: this experience has made me especially attentive to the unique needs each dog might have. I love taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she feels happy and safe. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me with their pets many times, knowing I treat every animal like my own. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m dedicated to providing loving, reliable care every time! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I'm a university student who genuinely loves dogs and would be so happy to spend my free time caring for and hanging out with pups. I also love going on walks, so your dog can count on getting plenty of fresh air and exercise with me:) my apartment is very pet friendly, with a dog wash area and outdoor space for dogs to play. So whether your dog needs a walking buddy, some company, or just lots of love and attention, I'd be happy to make them feel at home❤️ When caring for pets in my client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels comfortable and safe in their own environment. I carefully follow all instructions, from feeding routines to walk schedules and any special needs. I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and health, always keeping a close eye to ensure they’re happy and well.

About: I’m an animal lover to the core. Growing up, we always had both cats and dogs. I have experience taking care of pets, whether it’s taking dogs on long walks or tending to indoor cats with various temperaments. I have over 20 years of experience dog walking and pet sitting for friends, family and neighbours. I also enjoy teaching pets new tricks and commands, and making my own homemade cat and dog treats. I have a chatty, cuddly cat named Mowgli and have a deep understanding of the roles our pets play in our lives. Our pets become members of our family, with their unique personalities, quirks, and unconditional love. I have plenty of time to dedicate to play with your pets while you’re away! I currently work from home 4 days a week from Mon-Fri and am free on weekends. I’m available for boarding anytime, and for house drop-ins anytime. It would be my pleasure to create meow-gnificant experiences for your pet. I have a large home for your pets to roam around in, and a dedicated room for fur babies who might require their own room to sleep in at night. In addition, I have a backyard and live in a neighbourhood with many walking trails and parks outside my door. My friendly, affectionate cat likes to play with other cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes. You’re barking up the right tree; your four-legged friend will be in safe care while you’re out of town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wakefield on Rover is $18.19 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 1,369 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Wakefield. About 85% of Wakefield 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 Wakefield 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 Wakefield 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
