About: I have had a menagerie since highschool, 4 dogs two of which were rescues, 3 cats, a bearded dragon and a tortoise all under one roof. I miss them all dearly since I moved back down south so I’m looking to share the love again I am currently working part time and have little hours from my job, so my availability is wide open for the most part. I can probably look after pets at least 4 times per week Regardless of where I am, I respect both the space (if it is not my own) and the animal. I want absolute comfort for any animal I look after. They will get an abundance of attention and affection depending on their individual needs. Feeding on time, bathing if they get dirty, and looking after the home as a side thing.

About: I’ve always loved dogs my whole life but I’ve never had the chance to have a furry friend. When I am with my friends puppies I feel so connected and love having fun with them. I love going on walks and I think having a companion would be great! Getting our daily steps in and energy out is something I’m looking forwards to. I also enjoy calm days. Low energy activities and naps are always a good time too! I am currently working full time but would love to use my free time walking and playing with furry friends. I am available Tuesday, Thursday and the weekends (please message for more of a thorough breakdown of my availability). I am willing to visit a few fur balls after my shifts as well! I am willing to follow your wishes regarding your puppy’s care. I will ensure to keep them happy and well fed when you’re not home!

About: No request from you is too big!! My husband and I live in the middle of Welland. I started a not-for-profit dog rescue (Red Dog Rescue) from my home. Since then I ran another rescue as well. In total, we have saved 600 dogs off the streets and shelters of Texas since January 2020 and re-homed them here in Ontario. I left running dog rescues in 2024 as we welcomed our new son, but I do still foster the occasional dog! We own 3 rescue dogs total: 1. Carolina Dog (named KD) 2. Husky (Pretzel) 3. American Bulldog (Silver) We go for walks, runs, hiking on trails and trips to the park daily, and in the summer months we spend all day outside! We do not go to dog parks due to the risk of incidents. We believe a tired dog is a good dog. Frozen peanut butter or treats in Kong's are given MINIMUM daily depending on allergies/sensitivities, along with a good bone marrow or pig accessory to chew on, with permission from you! Our love for these animals is unending and all dog guests are treated like our own. We live a very active lifestyle but are willing to tone it down to care for sick/old dogs as well. Contagious sicknesses however we cannot accept due to the high amount of dogs we have coming and going. We have a private dog area for dogs that are not socialized/aggressive but can only take 1 at a time. All dogs are “puppies” in our house, no matter how old they are. Corey and Robyn are Paramedics however Robyn now works from home while on mat leave, so someone is always home, unless stepping out for the occasional appointment. We both know first aid and CPR for dogs, as well as any wound care and are willing to take the dog to a vet of your choice if needed, but are able to determine if the dog needs to go to the closest facility in case of an emergency. We both have experience with pilling animals and treating wounds, as well as needle injections. Robyn worked at a vet clinic for 6 years with cats and dogs. She opened a grooming clinic in the downstairs of the vet. Her motto is “no dog left behind” and people brought the most aggressive dogs to her to be trained how to behave and relax/enjoy grooming. Dogs that other groomers turned away. She taught horseback riding lessons to kids and grew up owning one hundred free range hens. She grew up with family dogs as well. She has experience with zoo animals and reptiles having completed the Animal Care Program at Sheridan College. She also used to volunteer grooming at the SPCA in Hamilton as well. Corey grew up with dogs in his house his whole life. His favorite breed is Boxer, but he loves all breeds. Corey is very active. He does CrossFit and soccer and loves to run, but he prefers to do so with the company of a pooch, big or small. One day we hope to move to Texas to rescue dogs as there is a bad crisis of overpopulation there. We are also learning Spanish, this way when the funding is there we plan to drive down to Mexico to assist with the overpopulation of dogs and educating people about the importance of spaying/neutering their pets. Corey’s parents own three of the dogs we fostered in the past from Texas. We were both shift workers so we are happy to do crazy drop off/pick up times, being available 24/7 for those on night shifts! Our son is very exposed to dogs seeing as so many come and go, he treats them with respect and if your dog is not comfortable around children we keep them completely separate. Give us a chance and we will do what we can to accommodate your pet! :) Big or small we love them all! #nodogleftbehind #spayandneuter #adoptdontshop Robyn is usually home all day as she works from home stepping out every so often for a quick appointment. Corey is home almost every day, doing night shifts and sleeping the morning, and usually does afternoon/evening walks/feeding. We have a large 6.5 ft solid wooden fenced in yard! Concrete blocks around the edges to avoid any escaping/digging. Our dogs are rescues and are kept separate from boarding dogs! They are lazy and tend to prefer to lounge during the day giving us extra time with your pup. We have a "cat room" and when the dogs are outside playing the cats can roam the home! We rotate dogs/cats all day long when they stay with us to make sure everyone gets an adequate time to play/nap. Our dogs are crate trained but if your dog is well trained we can let them roam the home at night while ours sleep in the "doggie rooms" (bedroom with our son/our bedroom.

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 always had a deep love and passion for dogs, which is why caring for them is not just a responsibility for me but a true joy. My golden retriever, Hazel, has taught me so much about the unique personalities and needs that each dog has, and I cherish every moment I spend with her. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing together, I find immense happiness in being around dogs. I am committed to providing the same love, attention, and care to every dog I look after, treating them as if they were my own I am available to pet care on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the days in the week I have work. Some days are exception and we can discuss that. The very first stage is to build trust with the dog by providing care. From energetic puppies to older dogs needing gentle care, I’m comfortable and confident in providing the appropriate level of attention and activity each dog requires.

About: I'll take your dog on a walk and I WILL take pretty pictures of your dog 😇 I've cared for not only my animals (who have lived to the ripe ages of 20+; I'm not shy with senior pets!) but have watched many friends' dogs and cats when they are out of town. DOCUMENTING Not only will I take care of your sweet dog but make sure to document it so you're there with us, every step of the way. I'm a professional photographer by trade, so some pretty pictures will most definitely be sent to you. THE SENIOR The life long care I have provided to my own pets into their senior years are some of my most treasured memories! Taking the extra time to go at a nice slow pace is no problem for me! Leave out their coziest sweater and I'll make sure those frail old bones are nice and toasty - no shivering on my watch! YOU'RE AWAY I will ensure your pet feels loved and cherished while you're away; as if it's you with them the whole time! I work from home, set my own hours and have a flexible schedule that can work around a walk or pee break! There is even time for a good ol' game of fetch! When I'm taking care of pets at my client's place, I stick to their routines and instructions as best as I can. I make sure their space is clean and safe, and I hang out with them to make sure they're happy and feel loved, even when their owners are away.

Holly helped create a safe and comfortable environment in her check ins with my two cats. She gave me such peace of mind with photos and updates. Thank you Holly!”

About: I've had dog and cats since I was born and so I have years of experience in taking care of them. If your pet is comfortable around my dogs we would love to have them stay for a visit! I am currently working part-time from home so I have plenty of time for walks, bathroom breaks, feedings, administering any medication, treat breaks, playing and cuddling. I have a nice fenced in yard with two friendly dogs and two friendly dog and cat loving little girls! I also have a husband who loves and is great with pets and pet care.

About: Hi I’m Katrina! I am a nurse, lifelong animal lover, and a dog mom to a Cane Corso mix and a toy poodle mix❣️ I’ve been around dogs my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or dog sitting, my goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy in their normal routine. Being in healthcare means I’m naturally attentive, responsible, and calm in different situations, which carries over into how I care for animals too. You can expect reliable care, lots of affection, and photo updates so you know your pet is doing great while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own (with maybe a few extra belly rubs). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and experienced, I would love to help!

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 have two Goldendoodles who are truly my best friends, and I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life! I’ve always loved caring for and spending time with animals. I’ve also had experience looking after my neighbours’ dogs, including house sitting, walking, feeding, playing, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs both in my neighbourhood and in my hometown, and I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making them feel right at home! I’m currently in my third year at Brock University, studying Forensic Psychology and Criminal Justice! I’m available every afternoon, with full availability from Thursday through Sunday. When I’m caring for your pet, they have my full attention and are always my priority. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me. I will ensure your dog is always in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I love keeping dogs active, engaged, and having fun throughout the day so they’re happy, relaxed, and ready for a great night’s sleep!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Welland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Welland on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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.

There are 427 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Welland. About 85% of Welland sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a 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 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 .

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.

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 .

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, 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.
