About: As I have worked as a Pet Care Associate for more than 2 years now, I have interacted and cared for all sorts of pets will all sorts of personalities and needs. I also have my certification in First Aid for Dogs and Cats because I take caring for animals very seriously. In addition, I am currently studying in university for a program in Animal Physiology. I can fit the pet care in my routine very easily as I am a university student so whenever i’m not in class is when I am able to care for pets. I intend to give all my attention towards my client’s pet. I will make sure to properly understand the needs of each individual pet and that I meet those needs. Every pet is different, so not all of them require the same kind of care.

“Megan was fantastic with my cat Mario! Communication was smooth and reassuring. She sent daily photos and updates. Mario is usually shy with new people, but he warmed up to her quickly and seemed happy and relaxed the whole time. I came home to a healthy, content cat and a spotless space. Thank you, Megan! I highly recommend her as a caring and reliable cat sitter and will definitely book her again.”

“Dylan was great, he was a last minute booking because our previous sitters bailed with no notice and I’m so glad we got him to take care of our cats while we were away getting married! He showed up when he said, sent tons of pictures, kept in communication, and went on a cat hunt when our one cat decided to hide in the couch. Thank you Dylan! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 12 years old. Growing up, I often looked after my neighbours’ cats, dogs, and rabbits while they were away - something i relished, as I wasn't allowed my own pet in the house (excluding fish, which i had many- i took what i could get!). Since moving out I have adopted several cats of my own and have continued to pet sit for friends regularly (both cats and dogs). They know they can always count on me if they need a sitter. :) Caring for animals has always felt like something that comes naturally to me; I love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and little quirks. Most recently, I have cared, on multiple occasions, for three elderly and sick cats. Each has different health needs, medications, and eating schedules, so I made sure to carefully follow their routines and give each one the attention and care they needed. I also provided regular updates to assuage any understandable fears that the parents had. I’m reliable, responsible, and very attentive, and I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I recently moved from Vancouver Island back to my home city of Ottawa and am currently unencumbered by a full-time job. I am available 24/7 for attentive pet care, ranging from walks, feeding and check-ins, to multiple night stays. When caring for your pet in their own home, I want them to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by keeping their usual routine and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to take care of their everyday needs, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter or bathroom breaks, and administering medications when needed. I’ll take the time to follow any specific instructions you leave me and pay close attention to your pet’s behaviour, making sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe throughout my visit. I also understand that every pet is different, so I’ll adapt to their personality and needs; whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply looking for some extra companionship.

About: I will give the love and attention your dog needs. Always active and love having a furry friend tag along on my adventures. I love bonding with animals and helping them be the most well-trained fur baby. I am open to interacting with various breeds of dogs and enjoy the various personalities behind each dog. I also make trips to the dog park along the way to allow dogs to interact and socialize with others. I am flexible in meeting the special needs of dogs who require more attention and/or dietary plans. I currently have a family dog (3-year-old shih tzu) who lives with my parents the majority of the time. I have a puppy named Atlas who is full of energy and loves welcoming new visitors to our home. He loves to play with all dogs and is very friendly. Dogs have always played a big part in my life and remain a top priority.

“Loved the daily reports & photos for the drop-in visits; reports were thorough and timely. It would appear that my boys were very happy with having Heather drop-in for a couple of hours on the days there would be no one home to take them out for potty, walks / play, feed them lunch and top up their water bowls.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes since I was a child, and I grew up in the countryside surrounded by animals (even saving wild rabbit litters more than once!). Additionally, I work part-time at a local pet store, where I've received extensive training in pet care and health. I have lots of flexibility around my schedule, but usually mornings or weekends (excluding Saturdays) work best for me! I'm always willing to move things around if needed. I have experience with crate-trained animals and free roamers. I’m open to any of your preferences regarding your pets' care, and will strive to maintain their routine. Part of my job requires completing Animal Care courses, so I have above-average knowledge regarding pet health and care. It's important to me to treat your pets the way you would, including working on any training or behaviours you've been working on at home! I also own a cat, but she is very friendly and well-socialized, so I'll take any preferences regarding her interactions with your animal into consideration while they stay with me. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your baby is well cared for so you can enjoy your time while they're away.

About: I’ve had a dog for the past 12 years and have learned a lot about caring for her individual needs. She can be anxious around new people and loud noises, so I’ve learned to stay calm and give her time to feel comfortable. Now that she’s a senior, I’ve also learned to adapt to her changing needs, from shorter walks to extra rest and patience. As a university student, I have a flexible schedule, and I’m usually free in the mornings. I also work a couple of evenings a week, but I’m happy to work around your schedule! I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy by following their usual routines and respecting their individual needs. I take the time to let pets get comfortable with me at their own pace, especially those who are shy or anxious. I also follow the owner's instructions closely so you can feel confident that your pet is well cared for while you’re away

About: Ive been working with animals ever since I was a little kid. Grew up working with horses and having multiple animals at home! Your pets will be loved and taken well care of till you get back! Will provide updates and photos regularly to reassure you that your pet(s) are being loved and cared for while you are away from home! I’m currently working part-time in Barrhaven. My shifts are on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday’s from 7:00am-3:00pm. I am allotted an hour lunch break, so depending on the distance your house is away from my work, I would be more than happy to return to your home and provide any needed potty breaks! I am happy to spend as much time with your animals as you want! Whatever you need done for them, will get done: walks, poop and scoop, cuddles, etc!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, reliable presence and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s a high-energy puppy still learning boundaries or a senior pet needing gentle, consistent support. I’m very comfortable administering medication and creating a low-stress environment for older pets who may have mobility or medical issues. I genuinely care about creating a safe, nurturing space so your pets feel secure and loved while you’re away. I prioritize structure, so feeding times, walks, play, and quiet companionship are built into my schedule just like any other important commitment. Whether it’s morning walks to start the day, midday check-ins for attention and exercise, or evening routines to wind down, I genuinely enjoy creating a rhythm that keeps pets happy and relaxed. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I look forward to and make space for, because their well-being and comfort matter to me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with designated areas for rest, play, and feeding. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including meal times, walks, and medication if needed, while also providing plenty of attention and enrichment. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the utmost respect and care. I stick to their established routines and make sure their pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I also keep communication open—sharing updates, photos, and any changes I notice in behavior or health—so clients feel reassured and informed while they’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had my German Shepard since I was 10. I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats ever since and would love to host your pet. I have trained my dog with patience and will be able to handle absolutely anything! I currently work permanent part time and will be able to take care of your pet whenever I am available. With that said, this includes walks, nutrition, and overall attention to the dog/cat during the entirety of their stay. My house does not have any hazards and has a fenced backyard with a swimming pool. I live in a very safe and beautiful neighbourhood that can accommodate any pet. My house is far from any major road, surrounded by a golf course, and is close to various parks and pathways that the pets may enjoy.

About: I have 2 years of hands-on pet care experience, including caring for my own rabbit for over 1.5 years and fish for 5 years. I’ve also provided pet sitting for bunnies and have experience walking and caring for neighbors’ dogs. I’m comfortable with different pet personalities and enjoy building trust with each animal I care for. I work full-time in a hybrid role, which gives me flexibility during weekdays for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m available before work, after work, and on some weekdays when working remotely, as well as weekends. I provide care in the client’s home, ensuring pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I always follow owner instructions carefully, maintain a clean space, and prioritize safety during walks and visits. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and secure while their owner is away.

Ivane watched my cat for a week and I could tell that she took great care with him. I know my cat and there’s been times when I’ve come home from a vacation and his fur is scattered and he looks stressed, but when I came home from this week away, he was calm and collected. I knew instantly he was comfortable and happy to have an experienced animal caregiver like Ivane. She did an outstanding job with my cat and I would recommend her to anyone.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Watterson Corners

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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Watterson Corners 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
