“Vince has a great sleepover at Lindsay’s! She has a fenced in backyard but also took him for walks and to run and play at the dog park. She is very responsive and provided updates. She is very flexible and easy-going. Vince and I would definitely recommend Lindsay!”
About: Over the past 25 years, I have cared for my own pets and a variety of pets belonging to family and friends - including dogs of different breeds and sizes, cats with special needs and even small animals such as Guinea pigs and rabbits. I bring a combination of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals! I provide regular updates, photos and open communication so paw-rents feel connected! I am currently retired with a flexible schedule to accommodate your pet care needs! I look forward to loving your fur family like my own! I have a fenced in yard, on a quiet street, and I offer pet sitting for your dog (or cat) at either my home or yours.
“Kari was a fantastic cat/house sitter! She stayed with my Spooky for 5 days and was very flexible and kind enough to offer to stay one extra night as when my flight was landing the weather was very bad. That allowed me to stay with a friend an extra night and not worry about rushing home in bad conditions. I really appreciated that! I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for caring for animals, with hands-on experience that started at just 4 years old and continues to this day. Growing up surrounded by pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding of both dogs and cats and their unique needs. My family and I currently care for four dogs and two cats, all of whom are a big part of our daily lives. Through this, I’ve gained experience with feeding routines, exercise, grooming, and providing a safe, loving environment. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for and support two litters of puppies, which gave me valuable experience with newborn care, monitoring development, and ensuring both the mother and puppies are healthy and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine love. I am currently a self employed day trader so I work in the morning 8am-11am so I am free anytime after that during the week mon-fri. On the weekends my schedule is open all day When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, walk times, and any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise based on their energy level and personality. For dogs, that includes walks, outdoor time, and engagement. For cats, I provide interaction, litter box cleaning, and a calm presence. I also prioritize keeping the home clean and organized—refreshing water bowls, cleaning up after pets, and making sure their space stays tidy. If needed, I can administer basic medications and keep a close eye on their health and behavior. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like they would with their owner.
About: I have been around animals all my life and have been called upon by friends and family to look after their fur babies while they've been away. Including leash training and recall. Dogs have been apart of my family since I was young, I have taken care of multiple breeds of dogs ranging in all sizes and temperaments. I have a passion for animals and the outdoors that influences my way of life greatly. I look forward to building a relationship with you and your fur baby. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule and my partner works half days which allows us to look after your pets from home as well as come and go as we please so drop-ins and walks are no issue. I do have a large yard and am located in a calm neighbourhood with a lot of trails for nice walks. We have repeat clients monthly so our spots do book quickly so don’t hesitate and book now!
“Natasha took care of my home and two pups for three days. She took the time to build a relationships with them and now I think they miss her more than they did me. She kept up their routines, including medication, and sent updates while we were away. Remi can’t wait for her next visit.”
“Ashley is AMAZING! Took care of my home, dog, bunnies and bird for four nights and she exceeded my expectations. Her compassion and love for animals and the respect she had for my home won't be forgotten. Felt so good to walk in the door seeing our animals happy and home well looked after. Would recommend Ashley to anyone!”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful and made our first experience with Rover such a positive one. We hope to use her services again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: Work-from-Home Dog Lover by Scenic Trails — Available all day for exercise, potty breaks, belly rubs, extra snuggles, and attentive loving care. I joined Rover because I love dogs. I work from home, which means I can give dogs lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every break is spent walking, playing, or giving belly rubs. I live beside the Collingwood trail network, so I often take dogs on longer, scenic walks through the trails or down by the water. Your pup will enjoy exercise, fresh air, and plenty of companionship. I have beautiful grassy areas around my building and access to safe, scenic trails, which makes walks enjoyable and varied for dogs. Inside, dogs are welcome to make themselves at home — whether that means snuggling on the sofa or lounging on the bed. I treat every dog like family, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and loved at all times.
About: I've been caring for animals for 39 years. Over that time I've lived with and looked after cats, dogs, rabbits, and rats, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of pets and their different personalities and needs. My professional background includes work at animal hospitals, grooming salons, and animal rescues. That experience, along with caring for my own pets, taught me how to deliver caring, loving, and thoughtful care that is also medically aware. I'm comfortable providing medical support, administering medications, and caring for special-needs dogs. In several situations I've been able to recognize the early signs of serious medical emergencies in dogs and respond appropriately. Working in rescue also deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and stress. I know that being away from their person can be hard on pets (and on their owners), so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and keeping communications clear so both of you can feel more at ease. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm available any time during the week for drop-ins, dog or cat hangouts at my home, or working from your home so your pets can stay in their own familiar space. I am also available weekends as well Just let me know what works for you and your pets! I currently have a pet free home. I do have crates if your pet prefers that or they can cuddle up in bed. Your dog would only be walked on a leash or put out on a very secure, strong cable as I do not have a fenced yard. In your home I would follow any rules and routines you have in place.
“Natalie was Great! She was super responsive to our messages before and during pet sitting. Sent us great updates and the cutest pet news flash at the end to sum up Chief's time! SO CUTE!! Also, she is the only person who has managed to break through Chief's skeptical exterior, and he seemed to really like her! She's definitely got a magic about her! Thank you again Natalie!”
About: I’m a future vet student currently working as a vet assistant. I have extensive animal care experience with a variety of species/ breeds. I have two easy going dogs of my own, a golden retriever and border collie. I also have two friendly and outgoing kittens. I look forward to getting to know you and your pet! I work Monday- Friday with periodic days off during the week, however, I live with my sister who is a vet tech that is also home weekends and periodically throughout the week. Your pet will never be left alone as there is always someone home. I live on a quiet farm with my friendly dogs and cats. I live beside a secluded walking trail that I often walk my dogs on. I have a large crate if needed as well as a additional rooms dedicated to my pets where your pet can relax if needed. I maintain a calm and relaxing home while also providing daily enrichment.
About: I had a giant schnauzer. For over 2.5 years he required hourly attention and care for many health issues. My experience has provided me with the knowledge and patience to care for pets of all size and with any mobility limitations. My home is set up with many beds, a large crate, and a fully fenced in backyard to care for your pet, 24/7 I am an entrepreneur with a very flexible schedule where I mostly work from home. I am able to attend to your pets needs all day and night. I treat pets like family! I respect the rules and boundaries set by each pet owner and work hard to ensure that discipline, play time, and routines are not altered!
“Brooke is an amazing pet sitter. She went above and beyond watching our anxious dog & easy going cat while we were on vacation. She sent me pictures and updates daily, and she was warm and knowledgeable. Anytime we leave our dog with friends and family we come back to a very wound up & stressed pup…staying at home with Brooke who was reassuring and relaxed was a real game changer for our dog Bernie. I will 100% be using her again for pet sitting in the future! Thanks so much Brooke 😊”
About: I've cared for animals since I was a kid. From early morning walks to baths and meals, I have pet-sat for neighbours, friends and family for many years. Most recently I boarded a pet pig. I'm currently working as a freelancer remotely from my home. I am available any day or time of the week and can give your pet the care and attention it deserves. I have a spacious house and tree-lined yard - so location and timing are flexible. I have a car and will come to your residence if needed.
“This was our dog's first overnight stay with a new sitter, and Michelle did an amazing job! She was caring, attentive, and made both us and our pup feel completely comfortable. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend her!”

I am fully open to doing any other requests during visits you may need, whether it is administering medication or a scheduled meal, I am able to help you out with it all!
About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder.

Ethan was fantastic and dealt with ME wonderfully. I am the one who needs more hand holding while away than the animals. That said, after a week away, I came home to a clean house and most importantly happy cats and dogs. Thank you Ethan, I actually got to enjoy my trip because I wasn't worried about my "family" that could not come with me.
Kari was a fantastic cat/house sitter!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wasaga Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wasaga Beach walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Wasaga Beach 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 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 .

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
