“Aleksandra very patiently took the time to get to know my nervous dog, who can be slow to warm up to new people. She kept me updated with lots of pics showing me he was in good hands while I was away - relaxed and staying in his routine. I would gladly book again. Thank you!”
About: Well versed with dog walks and ideally a walk is for about 1/2 hour and depends as well on the fitness goals of your pet. Area taken for walk will be discussed with the owner first and then finalised ( prefer taking the pet walking in known places in beginning and incorporate new places gradually). A lot of times when we become busy with work, we tend to forget that all our pets have is us. This is my brainchild wherein i take your pets to a place other than his daily place (I.e. a dog park, a pet cafe). Aim is to help him/her socialise, step out of his comfort zone as well as spend solo time with him . I adore pets and prefer being around dogs rather than humans. My motivation is my pet dog back in the home country. For me dog sitting fills the part of me that misses my dog back in my home country and will genuinely make me feel happy if my spend my time walking dogs or any job related to dogs. As I am a student, my time is quite flexible! I am available 7 days a week ( Mornings & Evenings) Also open to other timings if informed in advance. As a dedicated and experienced dog sitter, I provide top-notch care for pets both in my home and my client's home. When your beloved furry friend stays with me, they become part of our family, receiving personalized attention and love. In my home: - I ensure a safe and pet-friendly environment, with ample space for play and relaxation. - Daily walks, exercise, and playtime are incorporated into their routine to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. - Regular feeding times are maintained, following the owner's instructions and dietary preferences. - Your dog will have a cozy, designated space to rest, complete with comfortable bedding and toys. - Medications, if required, will be administered promptly and accurately, adhering to the owner's guidelines.
About: I grew up training horses (show jumpers) and my love for animals big and small started early. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have rescued three of them, including my first rescue while volunteering at an animal shelter in Grande Prairie, Alberta. My dogs are my children, and I understand firsthand how much stress comes with finding someone you trust to care for your pups and love them the way you do. I’ve raised puppies, welcomed middle-aged rescues into my life, and supported senior dogs through their final chapter. My goal is simple: to care for your dogs as if they were my own and give you the same peace of mind I have knowing my kids are safe, happy, loved, and in good hands while I’m away. I work in emergency services on a rotating 24-hour shift calendar, with a total of seven shifts a month. I have several consecutive days off in-between those shifts, allowing me to cover a fairly expansive block of time throughout the week. Fortunately, I am provided with my work schedule well in advance. Which allows me to coordinate and confirm bookings around the needs of your pets. I’m an early riser to my home fitness routine, and take my kids on multiple walks a day. Having the opportunity to “work from home” and visit with other pets/families in the area would be a welcome addition to my routine! I provide a safe, loving environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and comfort level. If your pup requires a more dynamic environment or has specific care instructions, I’m happy to review everything with you in person before accepting the responsibility. This helps ensure I fully understand your pet’s needs and can provide the care, consistency, and attention they deserve
“Kate is amazing! She handles our very skittish and scared pup with lots of patience and care. Her accomodation to our needs and communication are excellent. She’s always the first person I think of to pet sit our doggo when we need some help.”
“Kassie was great with Sammy. We booked her last minute. She was willing to commit to our schedule, followed through with our requests, stayed in contact with us and sent us pictures and videos. We were very happy with her service and would use her again.”
“Reliable, friendly and great feedback on how our dog was doing. First time ever leaving our large German Shepard overnight in his life and knew he was in capable hands and didn't need to worry.”
About: I have had multiple dogs throughout my life, my family and myself are extreme animal lovers. I have trained a service dog for ptsd and have raised many litters of puppies I’m a self-employed business owner who works from home! I have lots of time to take care of your pets and can move my schedule around if needed. I have a fenced in small yard and two other small dogs to keep yours company. I am able to crate your pet as well. Im more then happy to take care of your pet at your home too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wooler 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 Wooler 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 Wooler 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
