About: Have a history of dog breeding and care, love all pets. We currently have 2 small dogs, our cat passed way last year sadly, but we love both. I am currently not working outside the home and so I am available every day for your pets needs. I can care in my home or in your home. I have a fully fenced in yard where even the smallest dog cannot get out. In your home I am available to help them feel comfortable and safe when you are away.
About: I have had all sorts of pets for as long as I can remember. I've taken care of pets with health issues, friends have relied on me to care for their fur babies when on vacation. I'm new to the area and my friend suggested I check out Rover to earn a bit of extra cash on the side, doing something I love. I am flexible with my schedule so I have lots of time I can spend with your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard for your pups to run around and have fun. I enjoy going on walks and would love to come walk your pup. I love curling up on a couch and reading a good book while cuddling with my new furry friends.
About: Heyy:), i wanted to be able to explain to you all my experiences with dogs, cats and bunnies. As of right now i am in college for animal care, I also used to volunteer at a pet shelter for 5 years where i would walk the dogs, go outside to play with them and i also was able to help out with anything the workers needed such as feeding and cleaning the cages, so I’m used to being near dogs and walking them as well , i also played with the cats a lot and just spent time with both the cats and dogs in general. As of right now we own 4 cats and a bunny, one of our cats needs medicine since he has seizures, so i’m used to administering medications to both cats and also dogs . Ever since i volunteered and also having animals of my own i knew being near animals and being able to work with them while also helping them was something i wanted. So I'm on here to hopefully be able to take care of your fur babies and be there for them like i am with ours:). I currently work as a part time dog bather on Thursdays and Saturdays, so I'm not as free on those days but as of now I'm free the rest of the week to take care of your fur babies! For dog walking, drop ins and also house sitting, your dogs / cats would always be safe in my care, i would always be more then open to doing everything that would be needed for your pet and and anything that would make you comfortable as well:).
About: Even as a kid i’ve always loves animals especially dogs, I would love to help you with taking care of your dogs not only for your benefit but for mine as well, considering I would like to pursue a career being a Vet. I love going outside and playing with dogs, walking them or even just cuddling with them. When I was younger I was a dog walker for the dogs in my neighborhood and I absolutely loved it. Please consider me as your go to person to help take care of your animals. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive pet care throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime. I make pet care a priority in my routine, so I can be available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits while keeping pets on their normal schedule as much as possible. I adjust my care based on each pet’s personality, needs, and routine. I focus on making pets feel relaxed and secure while their owner is away. I stick to feeding schedules, provide fresh water, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, and one-on-one attention. For active pets, I include walks and playtime, while more relaxed pets receive calm companionship and comfort. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can notice any changes right away and keep owners updated throughout the stay.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Walpole Island stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Walpole Island 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.
