About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, starting with caring for family dogs and continuing professionally at a doggy daycare. I work with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, ensuring safe play, proper routines, and individualized attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand the trust involved in pet sitting and treat every dog with patience, consistency, and care. I can do Mornings from 5:30 or 6am to 11am, I work from 12-6 pm so after work I can do 6:30pm-whenever is needed. from Monday-Friday. Weekends I can do anytime. I always make sure that the pets are safe, are always feed, always have water, and I take them out on walks very frequently. If the parents are ok with it I also like to take them to dog parks to learn socialization and to be able to run around and have fun without possibly breaking anything in the house.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve always been relied on by family, friends, and neighbors to care for their pets in a loving manner. I am attentive, reliable, and careful. I am currently working on my Master’s degree online so I have plenty of free time to walk, check in on, or board your pets! I have a yard that is not fenced in, but it can but used with a leash. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks. I have 4 cats in my house as well as a small dog, but they will be closed off from where I stay.
About: I have owned a cat for seven years, and I enjoy brushing him, feeding him, giving him treats, cleaning the litter box, and cuddling. Sometimes he comes into my room, jumps on my bed, and sleeps with me. I also walk a puppy, a bulldog, named Buckiss. I clean up after him, and enjoy spending time rubbing his belly, and playing catch. At the end of our walk, I bring him back to his house, feed him, and give him water. I follow strict feeding instructions on how much food to give, and what kind of food he's allowed to have (no more than 2 treats a day). When walking in the winter, I make sure Buckiss has dog booties so his feet don't get hurt. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pet! I have a pretty flexible schedule. When I come to take care of a pet in my client’s home, I make sure that they are cared for with love and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable with me. I also make sure that when I end the stay, the client’s home is in the same or better condition than when I first came. I will make sure to clean after myself and leave the place looking as spotless as I can. I try to be a considerate and clean house guest.
“Sam is by far the best cat sitter I’ve ever hired. She was extremely dedicated to looking after my older cat. Sam is a real cat whisperer - even though my cat is pretty nervous and skittish around people, she absolutely adores Sam and showed her belly in most picture that Sam sent! Sam sent updates multiple times per day, sent some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen of my cat, and was so dedicated to my cat’s care. I’ve been worried about my cat’s eating because of her gastroenteritis, and Sam told me every day whether my cat had eaten or not. Sam even put treats in with my cat’s wet food to coax my cat to eat her new, vet-prescribed food. Sam is such a wonderful, caring and extremely capable pet sitter - I’ve never felt so calm being away from my cat! I’m so grateful that Sam is our regular, most trusted pet sitter.”

“Katie did a great job taking care of our temperamental rescue dog. She was on time and communicated really well. She did an overnight stay at our house and I would definitely recommend her. She made everything really stress-free.”


“This was the very first time I ever inquired for a pet sitter with Rover and am very happy I chose Robin. She held my hand through the entire process and was always prompt in responding to my questions and continued to hold my hand. Very happy with the care she gave my pets and would highly recommend her. Thanks again Robin!!”

About: I am passionate about animals, taking care of them, loving them, especially since they are not able to communicate for themselves. Dogs are amazing creatures and full of unconditional love and being with them every day is a pure joy and doesn't feel like a job. I go above and beyond to take care of these animals, which are family. I am very loving, kind, reliable, dependable and enjoy being with dogs, petting them, being affectionate with them and taking care of them is very rewarding. This is not just a job for me, it is a passion and a joy to be with dogs of all kinds, walking with them, taking care of them, talking to them is very rewarding. Thank you very much. I’m available for pet care because pet care is my full time job and it’s my passion for the past decade and I love it I will care for them as you tell me too. I give lots of love and care and petting. Animals love to be pet continually

“She was great with Rolly and caring for our home when we were away. I'd highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to get away for a few days but may be afraid to leave their loved pets behind. Highly recommend Anastasia!!”

About: I’ve spent the last 9 months caring for pets and homes while traveling around the country, completing extended house and pet sits through other platforms. I am now settling locally in Connecticut and looking to build a regular base of nearby pet-care clients. My experience includes dogs and cats, multiple-pet households, medication, homemade food, detailed feeding instructions, and pets with specific daily or nighttime routines. I’m comfortable following detailed care plans and keeping pets on the schedule they know. I do work during the day, so I’m best suited for pets who are comfortable being home during normal working hours. I’m available in the evenings and on weekends and can provide dependable overnight care, companionship, walks, feeding, and plenty of attention when I’m home.

About: Hello I am roeun k , I love animals and find them so interesting. I believe animals should always be in great care. I have always had cats, dogs, and birds in all different sizes I am always available, I am not working right now so therefore, Whenever your pet care is in need, I am there for there ! I have a nice apartment with a friendly dog and a baby kitten and adult cat all very friendly and loveable, I gave extra leashes and a harness if needed. I have plenty of food options available.
About: Ever since I was a young child I've grown up around friends dogs always wanting a pet of my own to love and care for, 10 years ago my dream came true with a ball of kitty love named Oreo. I have taken care of dogs many times, when I would visit a house with a pet, I would always say hello to their pet and give them lots of pets. I've taken care of friend's dogs while they're on vacation and I would love to take care of yours! My experience with my own pets: I've grown up with cats, a total of 10 cats have been in this house with a max of 9 at a time! The first cat I had gotten was a ball of love named Oreo who grew up with many health issues but lived a long, happy 10 years of life. Next is Midnight, a loving black cat from the start of his life, lounging around the house to his hearts content. Holly was a scaredy cat from the start, though after years of treating her with gentle love now, she's comfortable around people and loves getting her long, luxurious coat brushed. Nermal, guess where her name came from, is a lazy cat who hates the vet and startles easily, but we make sure to keep an eye out for her to not scare her too bad. Loki came to us with his pregnant sister Mini, two kitties that were a handful! Loki was a being of chaos, attacking anyone who got close, unless you picked him up, now that he's calmed down I'm his favorite person in the world! Mini gave birth to a litter of 4 baby kittens, all of them grew up healthy and 3 of them were fostered off to loving families we trust dearly. Mini is living her best life lounging around on the floor, no idea why she loves the middle of walkways so much they've got to be super comfy. The baby we kept was the odd one out, a grey and white tuxedo we named Pipsqueak, the small squeaky girl who loves to play with anything that moves. I am a very free person without many major commitments at the moment and the ones I have are easily worked around with people at home who love and care for our house pets. I am very attentive to animal's needs, sometimes I worry a bit too much about them. Able to respond quickly to a bark to be let out or a cat hovering when it's time for food. Not only can I take care of pets I'm an expert at giving them all the love and attention they could ever ask for, so much that they'll get sick of me!

“Ian's first housesitting with Carson went very well. He was dedicated to Carson's health and safety especially since there were unexpected thunderstorms. Ian comforted Carson throughout the day and night with lots of care, hugs and belly rubs. Ian was in communication each day and sent pictures as well. Carson had an added play date with Hailey too. Ian was respectful in our home and left it clean. All great qualities when someone is caring for your pet and staying in your home.”

“Mair did an excellent job taking care of my young, energetic pup. She was very good with him, getting on the floor to play with him during her pre-stay visit. She spent the agreed-on time at the house with him, and he was happy on my return! As a plus, the house also looked great when I returned. I would definitely hire Mair again!”

“Michelle did a fantastic job dog-sitting for me! They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of my dogs. I appreciated the daily updates and felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with her and would absolutely book with her again!! We have 8 pets, so leaving them with someone new is a pretty big deal for us, especially because a few of them have specific care needs. She made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and sent us tons of pictures and updates. She even let us know when she was leaving the house and when she planned to return, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing what was happening at home while we were away. It was obvious from all the pictures that our pets were getting lots of attention, love, and honestly being completely spoiled. She also gave one of our cats his medication and carefully followed the special instructions we left for our dog who gets very anxious during thunderstorms. Knowing she was willing and able to handle those extra care needs meant a lot to us. She also had to coordinate transferring their care to another sitter partway through our trip, and she handled the transition so thoughtfully. She cleaned up and changed the bedding for the next sitter and made the handoff feel seamless. With 8 pets, there are a LOT of routines and little details to keep track of, and she handled everything with so much care. We have 8 happy, well-loved pets, which is really all we could ask for. She is kind, dependable, communicative, attentive, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she is looking after. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets, and we would happily book with her again!”

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!

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 Oakville 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 Oakville 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Oakville 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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.
