About: We were fortunate to have Joey, a Lab/Cattle Dog rescue, as part of our pack for over 15 years. We are dog-obsessed! I have fostered 2 dogs over the years and have provided dog-walking and sitting services for over 10 years. I recently obtained my Pet First Aid certification, so I'm well-equipped to handle emergency situations involving your fur-babies. I work from home so it's an ideal situation for boarding dogs and going for walks during my lunch hours. My home is small but comfortable and dog-friendly, with a fully fenced back yard. There are forested trails just minutes away, providing ample exploration opportunities for our canine friends. I have the availability to give your pup lots of attention while he or she is with us, including walks and play time throughout the day. I have a fully enclosed backyard, which provides a safe environment for your pup to roam freely and enjoy nature. Inside, there are plenty of sleeping surfaces for your dog's comfort.
“Valerie was able to schedule a walk for Pepsi even on short notice and did such an amazing job with him. She was very professional and caring when it came to understanding Pepsi’s needs and getting to know him. From their initial meet and greet it was clear he liked her and that he would be well taken care of.”
“Great communication! Meredith is lovely and truly cared about my cat. I was anxious about leaving her all by herself but I needn't have worried. I got lots of updates and pictures/videos. Everything was perfect when I got home from my vacation. So appreciate you.”
About: As a teenager I volunteered every day at Animal Aid after school. We always had pet cats in our home. I have also been blessed with 12+ years of love from my childhood dog and then our own family dog we recently lost and miss dearly. We just added a sweet puppy to our family. She is a Shih Tzu cross and is a sweetheart. We are head over heels in love. I love walking my dog. A happy dog is a tired dog is my motto. Spending time with these wonderful animals is a blessing and makes my day. I own a small home based business so my hours are flexible. I would love nothing more than to offer you peace of mind that your beloved fur babies are well cared for and loved while you are away. As a pet owner myself I have always enjoyed my holidays that much more knowing they are safe and cared for. Would love to help you.
“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: Owned dogs or cats all my life, enjoy walking friends dogs & puppies have also attended dogtopia with my puppy. Use treats to teach sitting and listening while walking. Enjoy meeting dogs/pet parents Pets and their great personalities. I’m currently volunteering few days and have time to visit or walk your pet. I’m available on weekdays and Saturday except Thursday Sunday off Pet care is something I enjoy 😊 very much. I do not provide care in my home As I don’t have fenced yard I could visit and let your dog out and play also
“Hailey is hands down THE BEST!! She took the absolute best care of our cat for a week while we were away. We were nervous having someone watch our diva cat, but Hailey made the experience seamless and stress free ❤️. She checked in daily and sent pictures to let us know how kitty was doing. We 200% recommend Hailey for the care of your animals. We are already rebooking Hailey for our next trip.”
About: Love dogs and animals of all kinds and happy to provide walking and sitting services. Available early mornings, afternoons, and evenings on weekdays and weekends. I walk my dog every morning from 7:30 am, as well as afternoon, and evening. Can easily accommodate your pet so that they can get outside. I have a large fully fenced in yard with no openings for animals to get out or get in. I’m home throughout the day so your pet will not be left alone.
“Angela took amaaazing care of our 3 cats, one of whom is a senior and on meds. We received updates and pictures every visit. We felt completely at ease knowing our kitties were in capable, loving hands. We will definitely book with Angela again!”
“This was my first booking with Madisyn. She was great with my kitty Theo. I am very particular about who I leave him in the care of because he is very temperamental and needs to follow a bit of a regimented routine for his health. She met all of my requests without hesitation. She kept me updated with photos and kept in contact with me and even kept track of his bathroom schedule! She also brushed him because he has A LOT of hair - important as a preventative measure so he does not get a blockage(he previously had surgery to remove a hairball!) Theo seemed to have a really good time with her & be very comfortable in her care based on the Live Photos. He loves play time which she was sure to include with each visit. Will definitely be using Madisyn again in the future & highly recommend her if you want someone who is responsible, understanding and who will honestly go above and beyond for your pet so that you can feel at ease when you are not there to take care of them yourself.”
“I am so thankful I came upon Ji's profile. She has been a lifesaver. I absolutely trust her in my home and with my fur babies! She has gone above and beyone what is expected of her. Highly recommend.”
About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for and walking dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive, and I'll treat your dog with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. I love getting dogs outside, active, and happy while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently dog walking full time, available all days of the week. Always happy to take on new clients! 😊 I accept same-day walk requests. I will care for your dogs as if they are my own and I will ensure they are safe on their walks and get the exercise they need.
About: With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in puppy training and gentle senior care, including medication administration. I love long walks and tailor each day to your dog's energy, routine, and comfort, so they feel safe and happy while you're away. I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to do boarding during the weekdays and weekends! I am also an early riser, so morning walks are my favourite. Walks- 2 dogs at a time at most as long as their temperament and energy match. Boarding- 1 dog per stay to ensure they feel safe and comfortable with no other stressors from being away from home.
About: I've had pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old. So that's over 50 years of loving and living with my fur babies. I currently have two dogs - one 12 year old Pomeranian mix and a 4 year old Bichon Frisée mix. I volunteer at the Burlington Humane Society in the cat area doing cleaning and maintenance. Also, I have gotten my older dog certified as a therapy dog and together we visit a dementia clinic once a week. It is enrichening to all - the patients, my dog and myself. I am now retired which gives me more spare time to spend with as many animals as possible since I find it enjoyable and very rewarding. Since we have two dogs I understand the need to balance exercise and rest as to not overstimulated the dogs. I will be with your dog during feeding time to properly monitor their food and water intake and ensure that they are well fed and comfortable. When out on walks your dog will be leashed at all times (with NO exceptions). Also, we will not take your dog to any dog parks. Any play time with toys will be supervised to ensure safety - e.i. Toys are not chewed and eaten The more information that you are able to provide the better as that will enable me to properly care for your dog. Some pet parents like to provide a written copy of all their dog’s information which is very useful to have as an easy reference. This is not mandatory as long as your dog’s profile on Rover is as updated as possible. I am retired and have a lot of spare time to play and care for your fur baby. I would be available during the day for walks and my home would be open to care for your pet anytime during the week. My husband and I live in a condo unit and although we have no back yard we walk our dogs at least 3 times a day around the neighborhood. There are many walking paths in my area and we are very close to Bronte Park. We have two small dogs (male 12 year old Pomeranian mix and female 4 year old Bichon Frisée mix) so your dog would have playmates during his/her stay.
About: I had a husky and a Shiba Inu when I was in my home country. I got them when they were 1 month and 2 months old. My dogs are now with me right now in Canada. Weekdays and weekends are available for now. Afternoon would be better. Please notify me 1 day in advance. I can do in client’s homes, sit with their dogs or take a walk with them. I will always walk them in a leash because I’m new to them.
About: Looking for someone experienced and caring to look after your pets while you're away for the weekend? I'd love to help! I have years of hands on experience caring for animals, including being a current Vet assistant/receptionist. In the past I have been a professional pet groomer and a horse groom. I understand that every pet is different. Some are happiest staying in their own home, while others enjoy having someone care for them in a home environment. I take the time to learn your pet's personality, individual needs and routine. What I offer: Overnight pet sitting in your home Boarding in my home Feeding and fresh water Walks and exercise Playtime and companionship Medication as needed Lots of attention and affection Photo and message updates while you're away Nail trims I work during the week, so my pet sitting is primarily Friday evenings through Sunday This allows me to give my weekends clients my full attention and provide personalized care rather than taking on too many pets at once I provide care to Burlington, Oakville and Waterdown If you're looking for someone with real professional animal-care experience who will treat your pet like family, I'd love to meet you and your furry friend!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Zimmerman
Shannon took excellent care of my brand new puppy! She provided me constant updates throughout the day on how my puppy was doing while I was at work which allowed me to go about my day knowing my puppy was in excellent hands. Will definitely be booking Shannon again and recommending her to friends and family!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet 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 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.
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.
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.
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, 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.
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.
