“Maria was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our two kitties (one diabetic and needing insulin twice a day and the other chronically terrified of strangers). She was in touch regarding clarification on the medicine - which was very much appreciated - and gave us updates throughout her visits including that our little scared cat actually accepted pets from her on the last day (we were shocked and thrilled!). We look forward to using Maria's services again in the future.”

“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.”
“Ashley is kind, patient, and communicates frequently. I loved receiving the photos. Thank you for making Ramen feel comfortable - he warmed up to you without me being around for this first drop-in day. Ramen can’t wait to hang out with you again :).”
About: I currently have a small dog with diabetes and need to give her insulin every 12 hours. Both of our babies have a health care plan with our veterinarian and all vaccinations are up to date. They both love taking walks in the park and riding in the car. My other dogs previous to these were 15 years old plus. I love dogs and dogs seem to love me too. I have a fenced in back yard and a large house. Our babies normally have run of the entire house. I would love to work in the Humane Society although, I would want to take them all home with me. It also saddens me to see commercials with the neglected animals and the conditions that they are subjected to. I wish that I could save all of the dogs that are neglected. I have taken care of dogs since I was thirteen years old. I have also taken care of friends dogs when they are gone on vacation. I will be retired and will have time to spend with the dogs that I will be caring for.
About: Hi! I’ve got over ten years of experience having my own dog and taking care of others. Right now I don't have any other pets in my home, and I live in a nice subdivision with plenty of space to walk and roam! I am also an active walker/runner if your pet likes that, or relaxing at home is great too. :) I work from home Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and am around most weekends to be flexible for pet care. My house is in Ypsi and I work in Ann Arbor. I live in a friendly subdivision and near a park with lots of area to walk. We have a nice back yard that is partially fenced and a two story home.
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: My most relevant experience is working at a dog day care and boarding hotel for 2 years as a pet care lead. During that job, I led and taught pet care assistants to carry out the daily routine of the dogs in our care. This includes giving medicine, feeding, watering, playing, supervising play groups, first aid, bathing, communicating with parents and maintaining standards of care. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up with a pair of boxer lab sisters who I cared for as well. Recently, my wife and I have had Guinea pigs and a gecko as well as a 4 YO Chiweenie named Cotton we rescued. I get a lot of fulfillment out of building trust with animals and making them as comfortable and happy as possible. I look forward to bonding with your furry, scaly, etc… family member as well! At the moment I am looking for new work so I am filling the time in with Rover. My schedule is very open so I will take as many requests as I can get! I communicate with you and visit to get oriented with your pet before I start. During the visit, I ask questions about your pet to understand their individual needs and start to get them familiar with me. Once I am oriented, I'll follow your instructions and communicate with you if I am unsure about anything or something concerning comes up. Also, I am more than willing to do messier tasks like cleaning poop or bathing, as long as supplies are given. I believe strongly in respecting animal’s boundaries and proving to them that I am a reliable and unthreatening friend!

About: I have consistently sat for a variety of pets over the past ten years for over ten families. I have the ability to sit for multiple dogs/cats at once while providing plenty of TLC.

This goes for every other pet I watch as well! I tend to other’s pets as I would my own because that’s the kind of person I would want watching over my pets.
“Mikaela was a life saver! She even dropped by 2X a few days to help keep Rosie company. I would highly recommend Mikaela - she is responsible, friendly and kind. She did a great job and we hope to see her again!”
“TJ did a great job of looking after our pup and cat when we had to travel out of town for 5 days on short notice. TJ did 2x daily drop ins and kept us posted through the app with pictures and updates after each visit. The animals and the house were in great shape when we returned.”
“Great as always to have Jamie looking after our two dogs. They love to see her and it gives me peace of mind knowing they’re getting checked on when I’m out of town :) We always get great pictures!”

About: I have routinely watched my coworkers dogs while they are out of town, I have 3 dogs of my own and if I could I would take in every dog that needed a home, love and a warm spot to sleep. While I understand dogs are a product of their environment, I respectfully ask not to board Pit Bull terrier mix or Rottweiler breeds. Thank you. My pets have been treated with flea and tick prevention medication. I work Monday thru Wednesday and usually am home by 2. My boyfriend will stop by at lunch and let my 3 dogs out to potty. On my days off I am usually home. I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs of my home who are friendly and welcoming to new dogs. They are not crated but I can crate yours if you wish.
About: Experience with dogs of various sizes. Volunteered with two dog adoption agencies and have fostered 3 dogs in the past that have all been adopted. My current dog is a happy foster fail! I work from home 2 days of the week, but can be flexible based on your need. I'm regularly active, so dog walks are always welcome!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,392 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oakville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakville. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
