House Sitting in Oakville

About: I have several years of paid and volunteer experience with all animals, including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, rabbits, horses, and goats. Growing up, I had two dogs, one small and one medium. I also used to volunteer at a therapeutic horse-riding center for people with disabilities, where I groomed horses and cleaned their barns. I currently have two guinea pigs who are contained in cages, but are very curious, playful, and friendly with other animals. I'm an incoming Master's student who is currently working part-time this summer. I have a highly flexible schedule and short commute times, which gives me more time to care for your pets! I have spacious front and back yards where your pet can roam. I also have a doggy gate to block off the upstairs of my house if necessary, but our downstairs and upstairs are very dog-proof from years of caring for our previous pets. I live in a 3-bedroom home, providing ample room for your pet to explore and wander inside if they prefer the indoors. I also have dog bowls, leashes, toys, and food, ready for use.

“Jessica did a great job with our dog while we were away two nights. Our dog can be fussy, but Jessica was great with her and was also able to give our dog her medication, which is not always easy. She also left the house and yard in great condition. We definitely plan to use Jessica again!”

About: I’ve always been comfortable with dogs of all types. I grew up with dogs and have spent my whole life around animals, so caring for them feels natural to me. I’m calm, confident, and make sure to adjust to each dog’s individual needs so they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. I work full‑time during the day, but I’m available in the early mornings and evenings to take care of your pet. That gives me plenty of time for feeding, walks, playtime, or whatever they need before and after work. Mondays are my completely open day, so I’m available all day then for longer visits or extra care. My goal is to ensure your pet feels genuinely cared for. I pay close attention to their routine and what they need, and I make sure they stay comfortable, happy, and relaxed the whole time they’re with me.

“Maddie was great, she took good care of our girl and sent plenty of photos . Even helped shovel our sidewalk so the kids could get to the bus stop”

“I recently went away for 4 days and Laura watched my cat Felipe for me. As a first time cat owner and adopting Felipe almost 3 months ago, I was very nervous about leaving Felipe alone especially over night. Laura kept me updated the whole time, sent me pictures at every drop in to ease my worries and even did some extra drop ins to give him a little company. This was my first time using Laura as my cat sitter and she was absolutely amazing with Felipe. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby”

“Keleigh is outstanding. Our cat has a medical condition and requires medicine twice a day. Our cat also likes lots of attention. Keleigh stayed at our house while we were away and took great care of our cat and house. When we returned home our cat was very happy, which is a clear sign that he got good care. If he didn't like his care, he would have definitely let us know. Keleigh sent us regular updates about our cat while we were away. We will be happy her to request her cat sitting services again when we are traveling. We highly recommend her.”

“Where to begin… This was a wonderfully, amazing experience working with Robin so much so, I selfishly don’t want to share her! Like other Rover.com users, I was nervous using this service for the first time. When Robin’s profile appeared for our dates, I knew right away she was someone special. In fact, special is an understatement. Robin cared for my 2 rescue fur babies AND my home as if it were her own. She went out of her way to come by the house twice before we left for our trip in addition to stopping by when we returned to check in with us and say “farewell for now” to our dogs. We are legitimately going to miss Robin as she quickly became someone to confide in about my worries with the dogs and leaving them. I could not have felt more comfortable while away, so much so, I could have been away longer knowing how well my two babies were taken care of. She checked in every single day, both morning and night and sent pictures all throughout the 8 days we were gone. She trudged through terrible weather, including 2 snow storms, without any hesitation because Robin was that dedicated to her caretaking. Both of my dogs loved her AND her husband who is equally as compassionate and loving as Robin. One of my dogs is very nervous around people but he instantly fell in love with Robin. It was amazing to see how well both my dogs connected with her when we first met. It was even more amazing to see how excited they were when Robin came to visit after we arrived back home. I am so grateful for Robin staying at our house and being there for us when our flight was majorly delayed too. I can’t say enough good things about Robin and her position as a Rover.com sitter. I HIGHLY recommend Robin to anyone looking for a regular, weekly pet walker and/or a house sitter. I would also like to note that one of my dogs is on a strict medication system and Robin was so diligent in making sure she received everything she needed on the correct days. I am truly looking forward to working with Robin again. Robin truly is a rarity in the way she cares for both animals and people. I feel privileged to have met her and like I stated before, both my dogs and my husband and I will miss her.”

“Zachary was so kind and conscientious of my older dog. Stayed a couple of nights and took great care of my home. Also, I came home to a calm dog and a clean home. He also gave me some great advice on end of life for my 17-year-old boy.”

“Maria did a wonderful job taking care of my girl Birdie while I was away on vacation. My dog is a little wary of new people, but she took to Maria right away and the two of them became good buddies! I got lots of photos and updates of them playing and having fun, so I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was in good hands. Maria has a great personality and made me feel comfortable right from the start. I highly recommend her and will use her again!”

About: I’ve spent several summers caring for both cats and dogs as well as having them in my house growing up! I absolutely love giving them the attention they deserve, whether that’s playtime, walks, or cuddle time. As a 20 year old college student, I bring lots of energy, patience, and genuine love for animals. I enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re part of my own family I currently am a college student with mostly early morning classes, so I am up pretty early. I also am a soccer coach for Wilmington hammer heads which is about 2 hours Monday, Wednesday, Thursday nights. Other than that I am extremely flexible and am never busy for long periods of time! Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, safety and comfort always come first. I make sure pets have a clean, secure space, follow their normal routines, and give them plenty of attention so they feel at ease. My goal is to create an environment where pets are happy, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their family.

About: Hey there – my name is Madison, and I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. As an adult I have had the opportunity to be around lots of cats and truly appreciate each of their individual personalities! I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I have taken care of dogs who need meds, older dogs, puppies, etc. I wish I could have pets of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! I am a realtor and have a very flexible schedule. I am looking to book out the gaps in my schedule and fill them with taking care of your fur babies! I am very happy to offer drop ins at your home and to take your pets on walks. Unfortunately, I am unable to care for your pets in my home at this time.

About: I’ve taken care of pets, dogs of all sizes, cats. I’ve given medicine orally, and insulin shots. I have sat for pets for several years for family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I love spending time with all animals between long walks, hiking, and just hanging out on the couch. I work full time but I telework several times per week. Weekends completely available. When I’m at the office my partner is home 24/7 so the pets will never be alone! I have a lead going from the back deck to the shed (across my whole yard) I have two very friendly dogs and cats. I can crate if needed & there is space available if your dog needs to decompress alone without other animals. I slowly introduce animals to make sure everyone coexists well. All dogs are fed separately to avoid any food aggression. We have an over sized, fully gated and covered back deck that the dogs can also hangout on with us safely.

“David P. takes excellent care of Rudy. Rudy looks forward to his visits. I can honestly say it is like leaving your pet with a trusted friend. I have full confidence that even if an emergency should arise David would handle the situation perfectly. Thank you so much David for your excellence service and commitment. The very definition of integrity is doing the right thing in any given situation whether there is a consequence or not. I wholly endorse David.”
