“Sharrie is an absolute gem. I trust her with my girl and all of my beloved dogs in the past. She is so loving and truly cares about your pets and works with care instructions (no matter how neurotic of a pet parent that I can be). I appreciate how compassionate and patient she is especially when working with fear dogs. I would rebook Sharrie again and again!!”

“Noor is a great pet sitter! She took fantastic care of our pets while we were away. Our puppy Max got lots of exercise and Noor even worked with him on learning/reinforcing some commands training. Our cat Archie also got lots of love and attention! Noor was a great communicator and sent us lots of updates and pics. We would highly recommend Noor as a pet sitter!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I have two much-loved cats of my own, including one with asthma, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual routine, comfort, health, and personality. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, litter care, playtime, administering routine care, and—most importantly—giving pets plenty of patience, affection, and company while their people are away. I also have extensive professional experience caring for and training horses, from working independently with large herds to assisting at a show barn and teaching beginner lessons. That experience taught me to read animal body language, remain calm and confident, follow detailed care instructions, and notice quickly when an animal isn’t behaving like themselves. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or shy and cautious, I’ll take the time to help them feel safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a genuine priority rather than trying to squeeze it into an already busy day. I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can plan my routine around walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and quality time with your pets. Having two cats of my own also means animal care is already a natural and important part of my everyday life! In our home, our cats are truly part of the family! Their daily care includes wet food, supplements, lickable treats, lots of playtime, and all the cuddles they ask for. Although they love each other, they each have their own personality and need individual attention and one-on-one time with their humans. We’re a very happy, closely bonded little family, and I would bring that same warmth and attentiveness to caring for your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, routines, and individual comfort levels. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and take the time to help your pet feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away.

About: I have owned both large and small dogs. I have grown up with Great Pyrenees, and Huskies and currently have a Miniature Dachshund. I love the outdoors and going for walks and playing with dogs. I will take the time to treat your dog as my own and ensure it is pampered while you are away. I have not met a dog yet that has not liked me and I believe dogs are a good judge of character. Any special requests you may have can be easily accommodated and I can provide you with updates when and if you would like them. I look forward to meeting your dog! I work from home, and I am in school right now so I will be at home and can care for your pet throughout the day! I have a fenced yard, and two miniature dachshunds to keep your pet company. I have a playpen for my dogs if they need to be separated as well. I always ensure to take photos of your pets visit so you know they are well cared for!

About: I have grown up with animals all my life from dogs and cats to reptiles and amphibians! Ever since I was a kid I have been obsessed with dogs and the amazing things they can be trained to do! I pride myself in my understanding on dogs body language and understanding how their minds work! I do currently work full time but I am looking to fill my free time with something I love and that’s spending time with animals! Well I can’t not provide day care or overnight in my home as I don’t live alone, I have a friendly fur baby of my own who loves meeting new friends on walks. I promise to respect your dogs daily routine and rules as I would expect someone watching my dog to do the same as to keep structure in your pets life well you are away as your absence can be stressful to your pet on its own.

About: I grew up in the country caring for all kinds of animals; dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens etc. We raised German Shepherds and a few of their litters. 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. I have a fully fenced large yard in a family friendly neighbourhood near parks, trails etc. I have two cats and two kids who are pet friendly.

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 am a lover of all animals! I know everyone says that, but animals are my passion. I am energetic, outgoing, and fun and LOVE spending time with any kind of animal! I have had pets my entire life and hope to one day open a sanctuary for rescued animals. My dream job would consist of being able to spend time with your dogs and give them love, affection, and of course, the exercise they need. I have recently graduated from the Social Service Worker program at Mohawk College and hope to use my education to offer pet therapy in the future. I am more than happy to offer my services to your dogs (or cats). I can walk them, play with them, feed them, bathe them, house sit for you, clean up after them, brush them, administer medications, just to name a few. If you are looking for someone who truly loves animals and who will treat your dogs (or cats) like family, then I hope you give me a chance! I am available for walks, drop ins, or just hanging out with your pet! I have availability every day, through the day, just let me know what you need! In my home, pets will be treated like family — they’ll have a safe, comfortable space, regular walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I follow their normal feeding and potty routines to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I make sure to keep their pets’ environment familiar and stress-free by sticking to their usual schedule. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, and plenty of companionship, while also respecting the home and leaving everything tidy. My goal is to make sure pets feel secure, happy, and cared for no matter where they are.

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Both big and small dogs. I've always loved dogs and look forward to meeting and supporting more. I work full-time Monday through Friday. I am off at 4pm. And if I can be of any assistance to anyone who works weekday afternoons/evenings/weekends or just needs some extra help with pet care, that's awesome. I know what it's like to feel guilty leaving the house for work/going out or having an emergency that leaves your pets home for extended hours. Pets are not just pets. They are family! And if I can bring owners some peace of mind knowing their dog was let outside to go to the bathroom and checked in on, that's amazing. I will strive to accomplish what needs to be accomplished efficiently, whether that's letting your pet out to use the bathroom, make sure their food and water dishes replenished and get some pets and a little bit of play in. If it's a walk your dog needs, I'm your girl. I love going for walks in general and have experience walking dogs of all sizes. I'm also on a weight loss journey so talking your pet out for a stroll is great for both of us!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years, with experience looking after dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away from home. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting and boarding, giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, walks, companionship, and a comfortable home environment. I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs, so I take the time to follow their usual schedule and make them feel as relaxed as possible. Your pet will be treated like one of my own with patience, affection, and plenty of care. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in good hands while you’re away. I’m available 24/7, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. I’m available for boarding, sitting, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m happy to discuss their usual routine, feeding times, walks, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and at home. My priority is making sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 9 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I provide a calm, loving, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and boundaries so they receive the care that’s right for them. I’m attentive to their well-being throughout their stay and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. I also believe communication with pet parents is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for and for you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I also have a very big fenced in yard

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats of my own, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities and needs. I also have personal experience with anxious dogs because of my own dog. I’m currently in undergrad with the goal of going to veterinary school in the future, so caring for animals is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I’m attentive and want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. This is my second Rover account, as I previously deleted my old account, because of that, I don’t currently have reviews on this profile, but i’d be happy to provide references from past clients if you’d like! I’m available basically eveeyday of the week as I currently don’t have any other job. We can talk more about the details when we get in touch. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they are stress free. I ensure they are fed on time, walked or exercised as needed, and given lots of attention. I also keep the space clean and provide updates to the owner.

Rachel and Josh were amazing!! Our dog is nervous and reactive and they didn't bat an eye when we discussed this. Both felt comfortable with anxious dogs and I could tell when we all met, that Chico's behaviours were not going to be an issue for Rachel or Josh. When we were away, they sent regular updates with pics and everything went so smoothly. Plus, we come home to a super clean and tidy home! And could tell our animals had been well cared for. Would highly recommend Rachel (and Josh)!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Welland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Welland on Rover is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $72 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 253 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Welland. About 86% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Welland 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 Welland 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 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!

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, a background 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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
