“We hired Lauren to watch our 3 dogs (Ages 15yrs, 9yrs & 4yrs) on our wedding day. Lauren's Veterinary Technician background made her stand out to us in our search for a sitter. At our meet and greet all 3 of our dogs instantly fell in love with her which made us feel at ease. Lauren kept us updated throughout the afternoon and evening with how everyone was doing and even sent us some cute candid photos of them! She even got our picker eater to lick his bowl clean! We were able to enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about our pups thanks to Lauren! We would 100% recommend Lauren to anyone looking for 5 star pet sitting service and will be rebooking with her in the future!! We are SO glad to have found her!! Thanks Lauren!!”
About: Having them in my life I don’t feel alone anymore… we play, run and eat good food.. love watching dog shows on tv …….lovingly … I realized that scheduling my day around them makes more sense… morning stretches.. breakfast..walking.. afternoon naps and cuddles then go out again… dinner relax exercise I have a fenced yard for raining and extremely hot/cold days and walk with them everywhere. Not to crazy about dog parks but I take them to cleaner places. We do stretching and treat hunts, throw the ball even read a story at nap/bed time
About: I've owned dogs my entire life and have pet-sat for friends, neighbours and family. I am able to accommodate puppies and senior animals. Brushing and bathing are negotiable. I do not groom. My schedule is flexible. I can normally accommodate you with a bit of notice. Usually, any time after 9:00 is fine. I'm currently on leave from home support work due to injury as my job requires heavy lifting. Unless your yard is fenced, I insist on leashing. The field behind my home is great for walks but not fenced. My big dog loves to play with dogs but she can be placed in a separate room. I have a pen for pups or small dogs. Your dog(s) will get cuddles and play. I have a quiet room for shy cats, but your cat(s) can socialize with my 2 cats. My animals are all fixed. I can take exotic pets in your enclosure. My pen will give ample room to guinea pigs or rabbits. I can't separate small pet genders so please confirm in advance or bring your own cage.
“Tata is amazing. My kitty was somewhat feral when I got her years ago. Doesn't trust anyone but myself and my husband. She came and GREETED Tata when she arrived. Every day. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for over 4 years now and absolutely love all dogs. I have worked with all kinds of dogs. (small, large, well behaved, troubled, and special needs/disabled) I know how to properly handle dogs with different behavioural types. I also have experience giving dogs medications and meeting the expectations of different peoples needs for their dogs. Since I am in school right now my you will have to message for my availability as it is limited, but I will try my best to make it work. I would love to care for your pups and I will give great care attention to them! I will properly follow any instructions given to me for caring for your dog. I am well experienced and have done many different routines for different dogs. I really enjoy taking dogs for walks as well as spending time playing with them as it is great enrichment for them.
About: I’ve been a pet parent since my childhood first kitten and have always had a cat or dog since for over 35 years now. I began volunteering at the humane society for over two years then graduated into fostering dogs in my own home. For the last 10 years I’ve had the pleasure of offering professional pet care to pet families as my full-time work. As a dog and cat mom I know firsthand the relief of having a reliable and professional pet sitter that takes care of my littles at home while I’m away. I’ve privately served over 100+ pet families across Niagara, ON. Pet care is my full time job. I’ve been offering private dog walking and pet sitting services for over 10+ years now. Available 7 days a week for booking. Holidays are reserved for ongoing clients first then open up to new clients as availability permits. All of my pet care services include travel to/from your home including key pickup/drop off as needed. I’m fully insured and bonded outside of Rover under my own business as this is my full-time work. I offer professional, reliable and trustworthy care to pet families in need. I always strive to maintain your pets daily routine(s) in the exact same fashion as you do. I always work & travel alone (my own policy). Your pets will feel safe and secure in their own homes while you’re away and be happy with tails wagging when you return to your home as you left it.
“Jonathan was quick to reply when we were in a pinch and needed last minute care. He was highly responsive, gave a nicely detailed note of his visit and our pup was clearly comfortable with him. Thanks so much, Jonathan!”
About: I have been an animal lover for my entire life. Growing up, I knew the name of every single dog in my neighbourhood. I have many years of experience with different pets, including puppies, dogs, cats, birds, and even squirrels. I’m the type of person who’s sitting on the floor playing with the dog or cat at a party. I have a deep care for animals and I will always look out for them as if they were my own pets. I will work with puppies on commands such as house-training, sit, stay, tricks, etc. during my visits if that is wanted as well. You can count on me to bring all the fun, love, and care to your pets while you’re away! I have open availability! 7 days a week for drop in visits, walks, doggy daycare, etc. I will always accept your request unless I have already been booked up by another client. I always treat your animals like my own! Love, care, cuddles, compassion, walks, playtime, and trust. I will always be respectful of your home and rules. I will follow any directions you leave for me to keep your pet as safe as possible in my care. Doggy day care will get the same treatment, including a large fenced-in yard to run around and play! Other pets will NOT be in my home during visits, so your pet will receive all the attention! Trails close by to go for long walks! Lots of blankets and toys to keep them comfortable!
“Miryam did an amazing job caring for our two cats during our honeymoon. She was able to befriend our shy boy and is an excellent communicator. We appreciated the updates we received with each visit. Our home was well cared for while we were away. And she was able to give our eldest cat his puffers.”
“If you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to watch over your pets, i would highly recommend Mikayla. From the first moments of our booking there was clear communication and understanding of what was needed for our pets. She provided updates and pictures for every visit and she took the time to play with our cats as well. I would highly recommend”
“Excellent service above and beyond! Marissa accepted my last minute service, she was super quick to respond and very friendly. She was very caring and dealth with my cats mess (didn't have to) 10/10 recommended.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years from having 2 cats at home and one dog, I am all taking care of a few dogs in Canada where I study and take them for walks and house sit when the owners are out of town. it helps me take a break from doing whatever to care for the pet and walk it and spend time with an animal for a few hours in a day to get my mindset different. On a daily basis I wake up and feed the dog and then take him/ her for a walk and play with the pet for a while and then take him/ her for an other walk and then at night I feed him/ her again and take him for an other walk and then one more before bed so I’m taking the pet for a walk around 4-5 times a day depends.
About: I grew up in a dog loving family and we always had at least one dog in the house. I have taken care of dogs as small as 4lbs up to about 90lbs. I live a fairly active lifestyle and like to walk my own dog twice a day. I am comfortable taking care of and walking dogs of any age or size. I am reliable and can work around any schedule depending on the day and week. I work shift work so my schedule is changing every week. I usually have at least 4 days off a week but the days alternate. On days I am available I can typically help with your dog any time of the day I am comfortable walking dogs on a leash with a collar or harness, putting them in and taking them out of a crate if needed, and playing outside in a fenced area with them. I grew up with dogs so I know they all have their own personality, and I am patient with any dog who may need a little extra care or time to trust me
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, as for right now I am travelling on and off and therefore cannot have my own furry friend. But in the meantime would love to go on walks and take care of yours! I have plenty of availability when I’m not travelling! When I’m not travelling or volunteering to help youth or other animal programs, I am doing this! When watching the pets taking them out, playing with them, allowing them to eat on time is very important. A healthy balance of everything is what they need!
About: I have had pets in my life since I was young. I have taken care and loved them my whole life! I am familiar with administering medication, as well as feeding, walks, and general care. I’d be happy to love your pet while you’re gone! I currently attend school but I have plenty of time to care for your pets on weekends and in between classes. I would be happy to work around your schedule! I will happily crate your pets if needed. I will always make sure they are supervised and happy! They will be fed, clean and taken care of.

I’ve had animals all my life:) I work 24 hour shifts, 7 days per month. Although I can’t have a dog of my own due to being away for long periods of time I can care for your pet fully on my days off.

At my dads farm we have 2 St. Bernards, a Flandoodle, and a Terrier Mix who all get lots of cuddles and love. I enjoy walking dogs and coming in to take care of cats! I offer lots of playtime and cuddles if needed, and know the ropes on how to keep dogs in check when we're out and about on walks!
About: I come from Ecuador where having a dog as part of the family is very common - so as a dog-lover here in Port Colborne, I am happy to provide the wise loving care you want for your pup. I have a sweet female 2-year-old golden doodle who is totally part of my family. I’d welcome your dog, too - whether it’s for a walk, a day-long play date, or a sleep over. When caring for pets, I feed them, give them fresh water, walk or play with them, and clean up after them. I make sure they're comfortable and happy.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Welland 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Welland 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 .

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
