“Fatima was amazing! This is the first time we’ve left our dog with someone other than family, and she eased my nerves from the very beginning. She was communicative throughout the whole stay and accommodative with Stella’s needs. I would highly recommend her services and will be booking with her in the future. Thank you, Fatima!!”

About: I have cared for animals my whole life- from cats and dogs, to lizards and snails, and even horses! I love all of them and will give them all the attention they deserve. I am free weekends, evenings and nights mainly but can be very flexible. You just let me know what you need and I'll try to make it work. I do require advanced notice however. I am happy to care for pets in your home however is needed/desired during the day time or evenings. I do work most days so I cannot always guarantee a full day of availability but I can do several drop-ins a day!

“Kelly did such a great job as always! She stayed in our house to watch our very sensitive dog over the holidays, and she did a wonderful job--we came back to a happy dog and a clean house. Kelly is a truly thoughtful and caring petsitter who goes above and beyond for the animals that she cares for. We'd recommend her to anyone!”

About: I am 30 years old and have been caring for dogs and cats for about 12 years. As a teenager my foster mother was also a puppy foster parent. She would take litters at a time plus her four dogs, we learned all about how to care for dogs. I am very good at training puppies as that was mainly what I did as a teenager. I am available 6 days a week minus Tuesdays. I available anytime after 4pm or from 9am during the week, as my father goes to work so he would have to drop me off. This does not apply to me as I cannot offer care in my own home as I have to many animals currently in my household

About: I’ve cared for and have loved dogs for the past 20 years. I have experience with dogs and with diabetes and other special care needs. I’m currently a hybrid worker with a flexible schedule allowing me to work from home anytime. I will communicate with owners if there is any reason I would need to be away from their pet for more than 4 hours. I currently do not have any pets. I live in a second story condo with plenty of walking paths in the neighborhood and a dog park close by. My house is a calm environment for anxious pets.

About: Hello! I love dogs! I’ve had two dogs in the past, one dog for 8 years and one for 6 years. Since my most recent dog passed away, that's opened the opportunity for me to watch peoples dogs. I’ve volunteered at the Huron Valley Humane Society. Completed dog walking training, blue dot training and problem dog not allowed out with the general public yet training. If you want your dog not only watched but showered with love, I’m a great choice. I work from home, so have great flexibility. Having a schedule that fits your dogs shouldn’t be a problem. Hope you find what you are looking for. Your dog will be showered with love. Happy to have them sleep in the same bed if they are allowed. I love making dogs feel special.

About: I am a working professional who loves dog. I have been a dog owner the past 7 years. My dog passed away this last year and I am ready to care for your dog as I would have cared for mine. I have experience walking reactive dogs. I am cautious. I will tailor their walk to their needs. Are they a sniffer, do they need to move fast and go for a long walk? Are they older and move a bit slower? All are important to help your dog get what they need. I am looking to take care of pets during the weekends or on the evenings. I need a somewhat flexible schedule because of an unpredictable job. I approach pets gently, allowing them to sniff and get to know me first. I like talking with to them and giving them lots of love. All pets are differently and some prefer space and I’m willing to do that as well.

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I currently care for two cats and also have a Golden Retriever who lives with my former roommate but still comes to visit on weekends, allowing me to stay actively involved in his care and routine. I have also cared for dogs on numerous occasions, including watching my cousin’s dog whenever her family goes on vacation and is unable to bring him along. Through these experiences, I have worked with multiple dog breeds and am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing a safe and loving environment. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and independent, I will provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care to help them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time, but I am able to check on pets before work, during my lunch break, after work, and throughout the weekend. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for extended periods and is typically left alone for no more than 1–2 hours at a time. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine and will ensure your pet receives the attention, care, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special requirements. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. Communication is also important to me. Every pet parent has different preferences, so I always ask whether they would like frequent updates throughout the day or just a daily check-in. Some owners enjoy receiving lots of photos and updates, while others prefer fewer messages while they’re busy at work or enjoying their vacation. I am happy to accommodate either preference and will always keep you informed in the way that works best for you. I believe in treating every pet as if they were my own and strive to ensure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire experience.

About: Professionally, I have been dog sitting for about 2-3 years now. I currently do not own any animals, however, I have had dogs previously. I love dogs and plan to open a doggy daycare business one day. Dogs are like children and need to be loved and cared for as such. If given the chance I would do just that. Treat the pets as I would want someone else to treat mine. I know how to feed, bathe, walk and clean properly behind animals. For overnight visits the house will be as clean as you left you it. There is huge park in the back of my apartment building where it is very pet-friendly. The area I live is a very grassy like environment and has more than enough room for dogs and animals to play and exercise. Walk/potty break 7AM Breakfast by 7:30 AM Lunch: if there is a lunch time it’ll be by 2:30 PM Dinner: by 6PM Playtime: all the time in between Animals will stay leashed any time we are outside unless we are in the dog park and owner says it’s okay to unleash. I also am an active jogger so I can keep up with younger and old dogs. I’m a chill sitter that vibes off the dogs energy.

“Jaime took great care of Valentine and stayed in contact with me throughout my trip. She sent me videos and picture updates daily of my dog. Jaime even made sure our trash and recycling cans were pulled off the street after pickup. I trust Jaime with my future pet care needs and would definitely recommend her to others needing in home pet care.”

About: I freaking LOVE dogs. And they love me! I’m very patient, playful, caring and alert. We love having fun together— we both get the zoomies! Dogs tend to listen to and respect me easily. I help them to feel safe by making boundaries clear. I have a lot of experience noticing any indicators if something is off, administering meds, and continuing their existing training. I just love being their buddy! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Having a chance to take a walk or spend time with a pet is a great chance for me to clear my mind and get outside. I try to stick a schedule that a pet is accustomed to whenever possible. I get to know their personality and see how I can help them have a good time, and feel safe and comfortable when we’re together. I’m very attentive to their behavior and mood.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oakville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,325 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oakville. 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 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!

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.

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 .

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakville. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
