“Kaylee is great, my anxious little dog warmed up pretty quick and was always happy to see her, as was kitty. She communicates well also. Thanks for taking care of her Kaylee! I will 100% book with you again.”
“We felt very comfortable with Jessi! Our first time booking her, and she took excellent care of our dog. Quick to communicate and sent detailed updates, which was much appreciated!”
“Kelly has been very kind, patient, and considerate getting to know our reactive boy. He’s very scared of humans & doesn’t trust most people, but she took the time to get to know him and gain his trust and we are so grateful!!!”
About: I am recently widowed and life feels pretty lonely. I currently cannot afford to have a dog of my own but I adore them and all animals and I would love to give my time to your fur babies while your away. I have been pet and house sitting for over 22 years. I used to work at a pet store and I have a lot of experience with dogs and animals of all sizes and needs. I use a loving but firm and peaceful approach with training. My German Shepherd named Ravin was my amazing companion for 13 years and I enjoyed going on adventures to find sticks, playing ball, tug of war and just snuggling and getting love. I'd love to do the same for your fur baby.
“We have used Greyson’s drop-in visits and overnight stays for both our two cats and two dogs. Greyson always provides a detailed report and will ensure she meets your expectations.”
“My dog is a bit of a challenge. He is really timid, and it takes him time to get used to people. Rani won him over quickly and took good care of him. Her communication was great, and she gave a lot of details about each of her visits. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Marla was great! This was my first time using rover and I’m glad Marla was our first experience. Marla got my cats to interact with her on the first visit! I was able to have peace of mind while away, and I’m super grateful for her. Thanks so much!!”
About: I've taken care of my own dogs for over 20 years and have experience with a variety of breeds. I keep communication open while providing the best at home care to make your fur babies comfortable. They'll get lots of attention, love and snuggles while you'll get consistent updates about their stay. I work from home full time so they'll have a constant companion and attention. Constant potty breaks and snuggle sessions are guaranteed. They also have a yard they can run in. I have one friendly male dog who loves to make friends. Our yard is not fenced but large enough to run and we have multiple safety leads for a doggy to run and play
“Vinny was/ is so polite and very capable of dealing with my super high energy boy, Ford. I'm very grateful! And will certainly be contacting him again to look after Ford in the future.”
“Allison is a great pet sitter. She is prompt with her communication and sends photos from each visit. I feel confident that my dog is in good hands when Allison is completing drop in visits. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Silvia was wonderful and provided great care for my pets, including medication for my one cat. She was very communicative and responsive and made me feel confident that they were cared for well we were away.”
“Fatima is super responsive and was very flexible when we needed to adjust our dates last minute. She is super gentle and even our very shy cat felt comfortable with her by the second time he met her! We were very impressed! We didn't worry about our cats at all while we were away. We are hoping that next time we need a cat sitter she will be available and I'm sure our cats would love to see her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs in my home and I just love animals! I used to volunteer at the humane society, and I was trained to work with cats and dogs, I have over 100 hours of volunteering at the Huron Valley Humane Society. I am new to Rover, but I’ve pet sat outside of this app before! I am currently working part-time, my schedule changes from day to day but for the most part I am available 7 days a week and can check in up to 3 times a day with your animal! I will prioritize each pets safety, comfort and routine every visit. I will also ensure that I follow all instructions required by owners and am also happy to communicate updates/photos so they feel confident in their pets wellbeing. Overall, I want the animal and the owner to feel as comfortable as possible when working with me!
“Alexis was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend booking with her! She is super attentive to your fur babies & treats them as her own! She took my Leo on a walk & sent me the best check-in pictures! She did an 11/10 job & i truly suggest you book with her in the future! Thank you so much Alexis for being super kind, and helpful🫶”
About: I've taken care of a variety of animals through out my life such as cats, dogs, geckos, and fish. I am trained on giving dogs oral medicine. I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I'm working on my Fear Free Shelter certification and Fear Free Homes certification. I am currently working a part-time job, so my schedule is pretty free. I do not mind early mornings or late evenings. I am flexible. I can drop in and visit your cat or dog. I love playing with both. I can also perform basic care like feeding, watering, cleaning litter boxes. I can also take your dog on walks.
“Travis was incredible with our “baby”! He helped out during the day and it was a game changer for us knowing that our puppy was in such great hands. We received daily updates and pictures which we happily looked forward too!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,217 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Oakville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakville. On Rover:

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
