“Maren was very attentive to our dog Maggie and 2 cats Luna and pip! She was not afraid to ask questions when she was unsure of what we wanted! Maggie was on multiple meds for allergies and Maren did a wonderful job making sure Maggie had them when was prescribed! They absolutely loved all the extra attention and Maggie loved her walks! We loved all the updates during our vacation! And she made sure all bedding was changed for us knowing we had a late flight home! We really appreciated her!”
“Kris gave my dog and cat excellent care! She walked my dog twice a day, fed them both on time and gave them lots of cuddles. They were relaxed when I got back home from my trip. She truly loves animals!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs of all ages as a receptionist at a busy doggy daycare and animal hospital, where I got to know pups of every personality and need. I have basic training in puppy care which I use positive reinforcement techniques to help puppies learn good behavior and socialization, making their experience fun and stress-free. For senior dogs, I provide gentle, patient care tailored to their health needs and comfort, including administering medications and adjusting activities to their pace. Every pup are treated like they’re my own with love and patience. I will ensures every dog feels safe, happy, and well supported while you’re away. I’m fully available to provide attentive pet care throughout the weekdays and on weekends. While I’m actively working on building my design business, my schedule remains flexible. I will inform you immediately if any changes occur. Until then, I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! *As a reminder, please make sure you and your pup is okay being around my small 12lb pup and having my husband around.* All dogs will safely be in my secure, fenced yard where my 3 year old Min Pin mix loves to play with new friends. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, provide exercise, companionship, and maintain a clean, comfortable environment.
About: I love watching all types of dogs. Whether it be young or old, big or small. Dogs react to my personality in a positive way; I think they can tell that I’m a loving human. I do have a lab/ pit mix, Oso. He is very sweet and loves having other dogs over! For house sitting, I will leave him at home with my partner. I will always follow all instructions given to me about your animals. I understand how important it is to cater to each of your pets wants and needs. I will always send updates through out sittings and hoardings along with pictures so rest assured while you are away from your babies. Thank you for reading my bio and I hope to meet your dog soon!
About: Ever since I was 6 years old, I've had a lot of pet experience with all types of dogs and cats. Throughout my life, I've taken care of my own, family friend's, and the neighbor's dogs. Some breeds I have taken care of are: Boxers, Pitbulls, German Shepards, Border Collie, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, and Pomeranians. During these times, I'd be trusted with basic needs such as feeding, exercising, bathing, and loving these pets! Additionally, it was always important that I make sure each pet and my own know that they are able to trust me and are able to be my little friend! I'm currently available Mon-Friday up until late evenings. I'll have more than enough time to spend with your pets! I am currently looking for a new job, so this please help support! I care for other's pets by providing great quality time & bonding through playing & relaxing. I can problem-solve if there's any issues with my relationship with the pet. For instance, if they are anxious or frightened. On the owner's notes & asks, I am able to gently crate the dogs or gate them wherever they need to be when I step out, or etc.
“Shylina was so sweet with our June who is a little anxious- she was calm with Shylina right from the first meet and greet! The house was just as we left it. We got lots of photos of a happy June, too! Thank you so much Shylina. We will be calling on you again!”
“Crystal was so fabulous with our pets! We were gone for all day, she sent me photos of our pets! I am so happy with the care she gave our fur babies!! I would highly recommend Crystal for any fur baby care! I am happy I have Crystal booked for 2 more times. Thanks bunches Crystal.”
About: I am also a pet sitter on the app TrustedHouseSitters and really enjoy the journey of pet sitting! I grew up LOVING dogs but was never allowed one and only grew up with cats & a bearded dragon of my own, so I would only get the chance to be with dogs when it came to friends having them. As I got older and attained my own place, I took it upon myself to dog sit for my friends, family, and sometimes neighbors. I’ve been doing this for 4 years now, in my home and their homes as well. The longest I have dog sat is for a year for a family friend while they were away in the military. (The dog was untrained and very hard to take care of lol) I have an unconditional love for all animals! I am a fashion model and a brand ambassador, so my work is all very flexible and I get to decide when I will work. When saying in home and taking care of your pet, I will take all the precautions and needs that are to be provided to your pet seriously.
“Bri was a great sitter for my 2 boys! She communicated great and responded back quickly. I got daily photos/videos and my boys seemed to have a great time! She left the house super clean and even washed and changed out the bed sheets and towels, which is such a wonderful thing to come home to after a day of travel! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: “I’m experienced and confident in caring for both dogs and cats, including walking, feeding, and maintaining a clean and safe environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether it’s an active dog or a shy or independent cat. I’m reliable, responsible, and focused on making sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for.” Friendly) “I currently work full-time at Great Clips, but I have enough flexibility in my schedule to take on pet care responsibilities. I enjoy staying active, so dog walking and pet visits fit naturally into my daily routine, and I always make sure I have the time to give each pet proper care and attention.” “I adjust my care based on the specific service, but I always prioritize safety, trust, and a positive environment. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and care instructions, keep spaces clean, and ensure pets are always supervised and secure. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and I focus on creating a calm, stress-free experience for their pets.”
“Maliya was amazing! Our pets loved her, especially our dog. She sent the perfect amount of pictures and updates on how the pets were doing. She even got our cat, who is normally very shy of new people, to come out and spend time around her. She was very respectful of our space and we will be rebooking her in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I've had dogs in my family ever since I was a little kid, so I have a good amount of experience. Over the last couple of years especially, I have really worked to have meaningful relationships with my family dogs, spending quality time with them inside and outside, taking them for walks, and providing them with plenty of love. Unfortunately, the family dog we've for nearly 15 years passed away recently :( I put together a memory book of her this last Christmas, attesting to just how special she was to our family. I am a very respectful, friendly, and dependent sitter. I can always be counted on to not only do what's right, but to go above and beyond expectations. I prioritize a healthy and active lifestyle, so sitting on my phone or being lazy would never be an issue! I love to take dogs for walks outside, or simply even just play and spend time with them! I am currently in the process of finding full time work for this summer. I would likely be working Mon-Fri; however, that isn't 100% confirmed. With that in mind, Saturday and Sunday would likely be the days that would work best for dog walking and/or house sitting. Depending on what specific work hours look like, I would also be available to walk dogs during weekdays as well, most likely in the evening hours after dinner time (5pm and on) In my client's home, I will always be respectful of their home and property. I demonstrate amazing responsibility and can be very well trusted to follow all/any specific instructions in caring for the client's dog! Above all, I will always make sure everyone is safe and taken care of, but also have fun as well!
“Kris was a spectacular sitter. About the time that I thought about missing my pups, she had already send images and videos to let me know they were happy and doing well. She was quick to respond, helpful and great to work with. Would definitely have her back.”
About: I love caring for dogs. Whether is daily walks, fetch in our fenced in yard, or just snuggles and belly rubs, I will give your dog just what it needs while you are away. Your dog will get lots of playtime and attention. I work from home. I can also care for smaller animals such as bunnies or hamsters. I work from home full time during the week. I am able to give your dog the attention it needs while you are away. Your dog will have my Westie as company and a playmate. My Westie is very calm and enjoys visitors. I have a fenced in yard with lots of play space. My dog will keep your dog company. My dog is very friendly. I can crate your dog if needed. I can do daily walks. Able to feed your dog on a schedule it needs and give treats when needed.
“We had a wonderful experience Hailey! She stayed at her home while we were away and was incredibly kind, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire time. She sent the sweetest pictures of her snuggling with our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that our dogs felt comfortable and were well cared for, not just fed and let out, but actually loved. She went above and beyond by cleaning their ears, and even trimming their nails, which we really appreciated. She also kept our house clean. We felt completely at ease being away, knowing our dogs were safe and happy. She even left us an adorable note with a drawing of our dogs. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Dylan responded to our request within minutes of sending it. He and his wife Kayla did a wonderful job with our dog Evie. They sent several updates and plenty of photos to let us know she was being well cared for. It was an overnight stay and Dylan and Kayla left our house exactly as it was when we left.”
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m active, dependable, patient, and comfortable following whatever routine your dog is used to. Whether that means long walks, playing outside, feeding, keeping up with a routine, or just giving them some company, I’m happy to help. I work in college athletics, so being responsible, organized, on time, and communicating well are a big part of my everyday life. I’ll treat your dog like I would want someone to treat my own and make sure you’re kept updated while they’re with me. My schedule is flexible, especially during mornings and early afternoons, which gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and taking care of pets throughout the day. I also have days with significantly more availability and can accommodate overnight and weekend care depending on my schedule. I keep my Rover calendar updated so I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time and attention they need. I take being trusted with someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications or other care instructions you provide. I’m also big on communication and will send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. For pets staying with me, I’ll make sure they have a clean, comfortable environment, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, attention, and plenty of time to settle in and feel comfortable.
“Vikki is wonderful! My two dogs truly enjoyed their time with her. She listened to all of the details about my dogs with interest and care, and was happy to see them. I was able to enjoy my day away knowing my pups were in great hands with Vikki!”

Rowan was absolutely FABULOUS to work with. We have a persnickety senior dog that sometimes likes people and sometimes not, and she loved Rowan! Great communication and our elderly menace was so happy when we got home we knew she had a great time - she was well cared for and we couldn't be happier. We will definitely have Rowan back again. Thank you!
Bella was a wonderful sitter for my 50lb Pit mix! She sent sweet photos of my girl when I was traveling for work, so I had peace of mind throughout the trip. Bella was also able to drop off/pick up my dog when daycare was needed. She also ran my dishwasher & started laundry, so I had less work to do upon my return! I would absolutely use Bella for future sitting!!!!!! FIVE STARS for Bella!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dundas is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $53 per night. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 1,955 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dundas. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Dundas walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dundas 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.
Tip: 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!
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 Dundas 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!
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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.
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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dundas. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
