About: 🐾 About Me Hi there! I’m Shelley — a lifelong dog lover with a soft spot for snuggly, affectionate pups. I’ve had a Shih Tzu of my own, so I understand just how much love, comfort, and attention our furry friends need to feel happy and secure. I don’t focus on long walks — instead, I offer something many dogs truly prefer: a big, fully fenced yard to safely play and explore, and a calm, cozy environment where they can relax, cuddle, and get all the attention they deserve. Whether your dog loves gentle playtime, lap snuggles, or just being near someone who adores them, they’ll feel right at home with me. I treat every guest pup like my own — with patience, care, and plenty of belly rubs. This isn’t just pet sitting — it’s about creating a loving, stress-free space where your dog feels safe, seen, and loved. ❤️ 🗓️ My Schedule I’m home most of the time, so your pup will never be left alone for long. I keep a flexible schedule and can adjust to meet each dog’s needs. ✅ Daytime: I’m available throughout the day for playtime, feeding, and cuddles. Dogs have plenty of supervised outdoor time in my large fenced yard, plus cozy indoor breaks. 🌙 Evenings: Evenings are relaxed and calm — perfect for dogs who like winding down with snuggles or quiet time. 🏡 Weekends: Available most weekends for overnight stays or daytime visits — just reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate! 🏡 When Pets Stay in My Home Your pup will enjoy a relaxed, loving environment with lots of attention and space to play. I have a large, fully fenced yard, perfect for safe outdoor time and fetch. Dogs get plenty of supervised playtime, snuggles, and one-on-one care — no overcrowding. I keep a calm, cozy home — great for small or medium dogs who love comfort and companionship. Fresh water, clean spaces, and lots of affection are always guaranteed. If your dog likes naps, belly rubs, or just being close, they’ll fit right in here. 💡 In short: I treat your dog like family — safe, loved, and completely at ease. --- 🚗 When I Care for Pets in Their Home When I visit your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely — from feeding schedules to favorite toys or nap spots. I give lots of love, pets, and playtime, so your pup feels cared for even while you’re away. I send photo and text updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I’m respectful of your home, clean, and reliable — you can always count on me to show up on time.
About: I’ve taken care and owned dogs my whole life. Friends, family, and others have came to me to ensure their pets are taken care of! I am currently working part time and looking to take care and give attention to your pets as I don’t have the time right now to give full attention to a pet of my own! I have a full fenced in yard, No pets at home and plenty of time to give to your pets. As well as a great neighbourhood to go on walks!
About: PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION! With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I provide reliable, attentive care for animals of all kinds—from household pets to less traditional pets and I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs, including feeding routines, medication, exercise, and enrichment, always with a calm and compassionate approach. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior pet needing extra patience, or more specialized animal care, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making every animal feel secure and well cared for in my hands. I have a 9 month old female dachshund terrier mix pup who remains In my care full time. You must be okay with her coming along in order to receive my services. She is great with other dogs and cats but meet & greets are required before commencing my services to ensure all pets get along nicely. I work full-time in pet care, not just as a job but as a way to support myself doing something I genuinely love. Caring for animals is what my daily life revolves around—whether I’m looking after clients’ pets or coming home to my own two fur babies who mean everything to me. Balancing professional care with my own pets keeps me grounded and constantly connected to what matters most: making sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I provide the kind of care I’d want for my own animals—attentive, reliable, and genuinely loving. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I go above and beyond to keep everything as consistent and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their usual routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, because I know how important familiarity is for their comfort. I take the time to really connect with each animal, learning their personality, preferences, and little quirks so they feel safe and understood while you’re away. I keep their environment clean, make sure they’re mentally and physically stimulated, and always prioritize their safety and well-being. You can expect regular updates, clear communication, and the peace of mind that your pets are being treated like family every step of the way.
About: 5+ years of hands-on experience with dogs and farm animals. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, and a formerly reactive dog I personally trained. Comfortable with walking, feeding, medication routines, and providing calm, reliable care. I care for horses Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings until 12 PM, and I bring horses in Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 3–7 PM. Outside of these times, I am flexible and available for dog walking and pet sitting. I provide a calm, reliable, and safe environment for every pet. With 5+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and farm animals, I know how to read animal behavior and keep them comfortable and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: Ever since I was young I always loved animals, not only cats and dogs...but each and every animal I see around... I always communicate with them and give them as much as love as I can!! I'm currently enjoying my college life and being with pets gives me a plentiful worthy time to spend with these cuties.Even I have an innovative way of training puppies. I always try to maintain a safe environment for these fur babies and always use to clean and refill the empty bowls and never make them feel bored.

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 Waubaushene 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.
