“Leanne did a great job taking care of our boy! She came for a meet and greet before which we really appreciated so she could learn all his quirks! Her communication was excellent and we had peace of mind knowing she was caring for him.”
“Vicky was amazing dropping in on our cat twice during a weekend getaway. This was our first time using a pet sitter and we couldn't be happier with how responsive and attentive she was throughout the process. Lots of pictures and a thorough update after each visit made us feel confident our girl was doing just fine while we were gone. Thanks so much Vicky!!!”
“Emily was an absolute lifesaver! She took incredible care of our cats while we were away and made our vacation completely stress-free. She was kind, attentive, and consistently shared updates that gave us total peace of mind. Our cats were clearly comfortable and happy under her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for someone truly trustworthy and caring!”
About: FEAR Free Certified & current volunteer at the Humane Society of Oakville, Milton & Halton. Involved in dog (incl puppies), cat (incl kittens), reptiles (lizards & snakes) & farm animal care for over 35yrs. My experienced care and love for animals sets me apart from most! I am currently taking a break from my insurance career, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets when needed! My kids are also teenagers now and don't rely on me as much anymore. Since I will only be doing dog walking and pet care at the owners homes, I will listen to the owners and the pets themselves about what they want. I want to ensure a trustworthy bond is created so I have the upmost trust of you and your pet(s). My cat at home is absolutely spoiled rotten and owns the home. Which me and my family are okay with since we love her so much!
“Madeline made me feel very calm and ensured that my gracie was being well taken care off. She was able to reduce my anxiety of being away from my cat. She was an amazing sitter and will definitely book again!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Yanqi, and I would absolutely book her again. She is incredibly caring, detail-oriented, and responsible. I had quite a long list of instructions with a lot of specific requests, but she followed everything carefully and made sure my cat was able to keep his normal routine while I was away. When I came home, my cat was happy, relaxed, and behaving exactly like his usual self, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that he had been very well cared for. She also sent plenty of photos and videos every day, along with regular updates, so I always knew how he was doing. Her communication was excellent, and I really appreciated how attentive and reliable she was throughout the entire booking. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible cat/dog sitter!”
“I could tell Lob(cat) was well cared for while I was away. Excellent communication and regular updates with photos. I would recommend Toni to anyone who needs a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, horses, birds and even donkies! I take pride in providing your family members with the care they need! I grew up in a family that absolutely loves and adores pets and I’d love to show the same love to your pets too! I will care for your family just as I care for my own; with lots of love, some good scratchies, and the best treats (with their paw-rents approval of course)! The best way for you and your fur-baby to get to know me is through an initial meet and greet to ensure the perfect fit! Feel free to contact me and we can arrange a time that fits in your schedule. I’m currently working full-time, Monday to Friday but am looking to earn a little extra while doing something I love! Evenings and weekends are the best times for me. I have a fenced yard and my own friendly fur baby to keep yours company! Able to accommodate any needs such as individual care, crate, extra love and even treats!
“Luisa is bubbly and such a sweet person. she made sure that all our furbabies needs were met while we were away. She will give updates during her visits to ensure you are at peace. Thank you very much Luisa for taking care of our furbabies. Will def book again if we need to be away for a trip.”
“Emy was wonderful. Very professional. Treated my cat as her own. She truly is an animal lover. I would not hesitate in using Emy again should I require services. If you are looking for someone special to look after your pets Emy definitely is that person”
About: I genuinely love animals and would be happy to give your dog plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care. I previously worked at an animal shelter in the education sector, where I spent time around and worked with many different types of animals. I currently work as a respite and skill builder supporting adults with special needs, so I’m very comfortable being responsible, attentive, and respectful in people’s homes. I also have plenty of experience with dogs in everyday life. I currently live with my roommate’s dog, have lived with dogs with previous roommates, and have helped care for friends’ and family members’ pets and homes while they were away. I’m also an experienced traveler and have used TrustedHousesitters myself, caring for people’s pets while staying in their homes. I’ve also stayed in 25 five-star Airbnb homes while traveling, which has taught me to be exceptionally clean, considerate, and respectful of other people’s spaces. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, companionship, a consistent routine, or simply someone dependable around while you’re away, I’d love to help. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because my schedule is flexible. I work as a respite worker, with my most consistent hours generally being from 3–7 p.m., so I’m usually available during the mornings and earlier parts of the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and spending time with pets. I also work as a singer, but those jobs are usually one-off bookings that I know about in advance. I have a few regular commitments, including Thursday evenings and some Sunday mornings, but otherwise my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility. Because I work with clients in their homes, I’m already comfortable building my day around someone else’s needs and routines. I’m responsible about keeping track of my commitments and would always make sure I have plenty of time and availability to give your pet the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, favorite activities, and any specific instructions you leave for me. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, meals, fresh water, companionship, and whatever other care your pet needs. Because I work with clients in their homes, I’m already comfortable building my day around someone else’s needs and routines. I’m respectful of people’s homes and understand the importance of keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. I’m responsible about keeping track of my commitments and would always make sure I have plenty of time and availability to give your pet the attention and care they need. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and home are in good hands.
“Kaeley, was beyond and above my expectations, my very scared cat Max, was comfortable with her, which is the main concern of mine. I was quite pleased with her communication and pictures she sent me. She is very clean, quiet and respects your home...I highly recommend her..and would book her again ..”
“Mary was excellent as always. She watched our cat and house while we were away in Alaska for 10 days. She sends lots of pictures and updates. She follows his routine to a tee. He was very relaxed when we got home. She left the house exactly as it was when we left. Thanks again Mary!”
About: Over the past few years, I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family, and I always get excited for every visit. I have experience with both cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities—from playful, high-energy pups to shy or senior pets who just want some quiet company and extra love. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, baths, or even administering medications (including injections), I’m confident and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and totally loved while you’re away. I work part time, and I have a pretty open and flexible schedule to give your pet the time and attention they deserve—including plenty of cuddles, updates, and photos for you! I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind with reliable, caring service and lots of updates along the way!
About: I’ve had dogs since I was five years old and truly can’t remember a time when dogs weren’t part of my life! I also helped my mom with her in-home dog boarding service, which has given me experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from puppies under a year old and dogs who aren’t crate trained to seniors who need extra hands-on care. I have experience giving medications, helping senior dogs up and down stairs or furniture, and using a wagon when walks are no longer comfortable. I’ve also cared for reactive dogs and understand the importance of patience, boundaries, and following each dog’s individual routine. We’re huge animal lovers in our home, and pets are treated like part of the family. Dogs are welcome to get comfortable, roam freely, play, relax, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I’m very comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities and want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and at home. I am a student with an flexible schedule, who is open most weekdays during the day to come and check in on your furry friends, walk them, take them to the park, etc. When I have pets in the home, they are the priority always. My day is scheduled around taking them out, play time, walks and treats. If I have to step out, I like to leave the TV on for them to feel calm. I enjoy taking dogs with me to the park, the Pet Store, or even other dog friendly stores like Canadian Tire/Home Depot. Pets are curious and should explore all day! At home, we treat all pets like our own allowing them to roam and as they please and hang in our fenced yard. At your home, I would follow any and all rules you implement, and ensure that I am constantly changing water, taking our furry friends outside, and keeping them entertained with toys and games.
About: **About me** I am a business owner, I have a dog that is super social but if your dog doesn't play well with other dogs then my dog can go to my parents ( that's what I usually end up doing anyways) This way the dog that I am watching gets my full attention. I am lucky because I can pick and choose my work so I can be around the house for longer hours & all day if I need to. **About my home/services** I live in a large apartment downtown Burlington with a balcony that is accessible to the street level. It can be closed off to allow the dog to sit outside with me. Your dog has free range to roam my place, I live really close to Spencer Smith park and love to take walks by the water. When I dog sit, generally people bring over their own dog bed, food and toys. They let me know how many times a day to walk the dog and if it needs any medications given and/or any special instructions and I would be happy to take care of it. **About my neighborhood** I live right downtown. I have Spencer Smith Park right across the street. It's a great easily accessible neighborhood, with lots of really nice areas to talk the dog out for walk. **What to expect** We would go on a great deal of walks, fetch & catch. **Special rules or requests** We can discuss any special needs in person. I work from home so my schedule is focused on how I determine it will go. I work for you, there for I am available when you need me. When caring for pets—whether in my home or my client’s—I focus on creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, comfort level, and personality so they always feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, keep doors and windows secure, and maintain a clean, tidy space throughout my visit. I’m attentive to details like food measurements, medication schedules, and litter‑box cleanliness to ensure your pet’s health and comfort. In my own home, my two cats (a mama and her baby) enjoy a peaceful, structured environment, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. Your pet’s safety, emotional well‑being, and routine always come first, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I give my own.
“Twinkle was in good hands with Shreya for a week! She got her pills every 12 hours, her treats and we received a lots of photos and videos. It was so comforting to know that we can leave our cat in her capable hands. We will use her services again, for sure!”
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Zimmerman
I have never left my 16 year old cat Stanley with anyone other than family. Being a rather solitary girl, I wanted to be sure that whoever came in to look after her, could give her the space she needs and be understanding of her temperment. Lorraine provided that for me and it seemed that she and Stan got along just fine! I would definitely have Lorraine come back when I go away in the future.

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 Zimmerman 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

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.

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.
