About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. I’ve experience caring for dogs of many different breeds and ages, including senior dogs. When my own dogs grew older, I was there to care for them and help with their needs, including cleaning up after them and making sure they were comfortable and well cared for. I’ve also volunteered at humane societies and have experience caring for friends’ pets, which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable with different personalities and needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet as an individual. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and able to enjoy their best life while their owners are away. I’m currently enrolled in college and work a part-time job in the evenings, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the day to care for your pets. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and can work with your pet’s individual routine and needs. In the mornings, I can stop by for walks, playtime, cuddles, and some quality time together. In the afternoons, I can check in on them, let them outside, and make sure they get plenty of attention and love. In the evenings, I can come by for another visit to play, cuddle, feed them, and give them another opportunity to go outside. When caring for a dog in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine and create a schedule that works well for both the pet and their family. I understand that every dog has different needs and preferences, so I take the time to keep them comfortable and maintain the routine they’re used to. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with their favorite toys, spending time outside, and giving them plenty of attention and cuddles. If the home has a fenced-in yard, I’m happy to let them enjoy some supervised outdoor playtime. If there isn’t a fenced yard, we can always go for a walk and then come back inside for plenty of playtime, relaxation, and cuddles.
“Tressa and Blake were highly communicative, reliable and professional with me. I highly recommend them for drop in visits for your cats and dogs, and administering oral medications to your animals if needed!”
About: What sets me apart is that I am patient, caring, and treat every dog like they are my own. I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines, whether they’re energetic puppies, playful adults, or sweet senior dogs. I’m also dependable and make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. 🐶❤️ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a dog of my own and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I’m already used to keeping a consistent routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m responsible and flexible, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s specific routine to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while they’re in my care. For boarding I provide a clean and comfortable space, regular meals, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. For daytime walks and check-ins, I make sure your pet gets exercise, bathroom breaks, food if needed, and some love and companionship. I also have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your fur baby. 🐶❤️
“Very responsive and easy to work with. The consistent communication with updates gave a good peace of mind while I was away. Will definitely be booking with Rianna again in the future”
“This is my second time using Kamylle as a sitter so I knew Bob would be well taken care of. We were able to work out a few kinks in the process from the first time and handled some new challenges. Great communication made the sitting experience worry free.”

About: Hi! I’m Cate. I’ve be taking care of cats and dogs since I was little. Cats with attitude don’t scare me—my baby at home is a tortieshell.😂 I’m used to all dogs, from pitties to chihuahuas, and I’d love to meet yours. I usually have work from 9 to 5 everyday except for Sunday and Monday. I can be there in the morning and in the evening. I’m open to anything you need done to keep your baby happy. Feeding, cleaning up, keeping company, etc. I know sometimes they just get lonely while we’re away, and so if you need me to spend a couple extra minutes playing fetch or giving cuddles, it’s no strain on me.
“Melanie is a life saver! I needed a sitter at the last minute for my puppy and she came through! She's caring and accommodating to my changing schedule. Will definitely book again. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi there! My name is Mikalya! I have a strong passion for animals. I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was 12 years old. I have one dog, Rocky and a cat, Clever. Both are very sociable and get along very well. They are laidback. I would be more than happy to keep your fur-baby for you! Neighbors and family members have counted on me to care for their fur babies! I make sure they get more than enough care! I strive to go above and beyond! I work Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5pm, but I am off every weekend. Just let me know your needs and I will try my best to accommodate to them! I will crate them if that is what you prefer. I usually let the animals free roam so that they would feel comfortable in my home!
About: I’ve had many animals throughout my life and know that caring for them is my passion. I recently lost my Australian shepherd so this will be filling the void! I’m currently going out for maternity leave at work so my schedule is very open to all the fur babies. Size and breed are not an issue I have a fenced in back yard if that’s what your baby is needing. If they are inside then they are welcome to be a furry couch potato!

“She is seriously the sweetest! She took such great care of our cat and was so kind and caring with him. Our cat ended up throwing up, probably from eating his food too quickly, and she even cleaned everything up for us. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying and came home knowing our cat had been in good hands. We really appreciated how thoughtful she was!”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ellerslie is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $21 per visit. 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.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
