“Kaity did a great job taking care of my two kitties. It was wonderful coming home to happy cats with no worries. All instructions were followed and she even went above and beyond by bringing in 2 heavy boxes for me. Will definitely use again if/when I need. Thanks Kaity!”
“Amy was a life saver! This was our first time using the rover app and she made sure our Dog was very well taken care. She made sure to send us alot of pictures and kept us updated on the daily. Little does she know made my trip stress free knowing our dog was in good hands. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Gabbie is great! My pup is pretty shy and going through some health concerns. Gabbie was attentive to what my dog needs, has been consistently on-time and has built up trust with her in the span of a week. Sadie seems really excited when Gabbie comes by and seems to enjoy their mid-day play sessions!”
“Katie is the perfect mix of gentle calm and command with Felicity! My dog trusts her and is excited when she’s around, and I can trust that my pup is in good hands with her.”
“She was so kind and thoughtful when caring for our pets! We got plenty of update photos and she reached out of there was even the slightest concern. It was so comforting to know our fur babies were so well loved and cared for while we were away!”
“Absolute professionalism and top-notch care for our pets from Eric and Morgan! This lovely couple boarded our dog Rosie and made home visits to care for our cat and guinea pigs during our spring break vacation. They were very responsive to our messages and took care to learn all the instructions for feeding and care of our animals. We received photos and updates throughout the week. Morgan even watered my plant babies! We highly recommend Eric and Morgan and will definitely book them again.”
About: I have experience in walking dogs, and house sitting. I have stayed with cats as well. I used to be a doggy daycare attendant! My responsibilities included: feeding animals on a regular schedule, walking them on a schedule, giving them medication, and giving them play time and attention. As an animal lover I know that pets need more than just food and water. They need love and affection too! Count on me to give it my all to your pets. :) I am currently employed part time, and am looking to make extra cash and to connect with pets since I don’t have any of my own. (Yet!) I would have to have an early heads up of when you’d need me, because I get my work schedule weekly. I apologize, but I am unable to provide at home services. I will do all that is necessary to love and take care of your pet.
“Katie looked after my 3 cats for drop in visits and was excellent! She was able to do medicine for the little one and everyone was happy when I got home.”
“Frances is awesome! She has taken care of my cats many times. She is prompt and communicates very well about how they are doing. She feeds them, makes sure they have water and everything they need and plays with them. She also gave my older cat liquid oral medication. I will definitely have her take care of my cats again!”
About: Currently I have 3 dogs Chip, Spud and Freddie! They range from 17lb - 110lb and 3-13years old. I have experience with all types of dogs and would love to get to know yours! I have early mornings, evenings and weekends to help care for your animals while you are away or busy! I am happy to take last minute bookings! I will do my best to provide a fun and active outing for your dog during our walk. I am open to any suggestions during my time with your dog including different routes, parks and fetch!

I am not currently boarding animals at my home, unless an emergency. In that case, I have a fenced in back yard with a chocolate lab of my own
About: I've grown up with many different types of dogs. I learned at a young age the importance of walks, exercise, how to love and care for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have dog-sat for multiple families in the past, sometimes up to a week, and end up creating life-long bonds with each 4-legged friend! I currently work remotely, making my own schedule apart from an in-person part-time job that is about 14 hours a week. My availability: Mondays all day, Tuesdays after 5, Wednesdays after 1, Thursdays after 5, Fridays after 1, Saturdays all day, Sundays between 12 and 4. (Starting in June I will be available pretty much all day everyday!) I have two cats and rent, so care would need to be at your home, which I am comfortable with. I am trustworthy and dependable and will have eyes on your furry friend at all times!
About: I have taken care of young and old dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members since I was 16. I am always sure to take them on plenty of walks, tend to their nutritional needs, and spoil them with attention. Leave me an overview of expectations/directions and your home and furry friends will be in great hands! Disclaimer: I also work a full-time job. I work in Physical Therapy but my mornings and evenings are free and I will give your pets full care and attention before and after work, including overnight stays! If my Rover schedule is free, book me! Morning bathroom break Morning breakfast Evening walk depending on the weather Evening dinner Hangout and play at night -- I can accommodate most routines you may have your pets on throughout the day!
About: i’ve been taking care of friends, family, and neighbors fur babies for the past nine years of my life, and I absolutely love every single one of them. I love all of them all sizes and breeds it does not matter to me. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility for five years. I also have previous training experience working with young puppies so i’m able to work with them as well. :) I’m working currently part-time and only have classes a couple days a week for an hour. I’m very flexible and available on an as needed basis for you and your fur babies! Safety is my number one priority. I will never put your fur babies in harms way or put them in uncomfortable situations. I treat each pup as if they were my own. I’m very big on schedules/routine. If you have one you’d like to stick to, I will happily oblige.
About: I used to have two dogs: a German Shepherd and a Pug. I also had two cats. My friend took them in when I moved and I still get to see them regularly. They were the most loving dogs and cats I could have ever asked for. I love animals and will treat your pet like it’s my own! I work from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM on weekdays, but I’m always available after work and on weekends to take care of your pet. I can provide your pet with all the attention they require. I reside in an apartment with ample outdoor space, but I’ll take them for walks whenever necessary.
“Sarah took great care of our kitty, Chuck, while we were away for nearly a week. She was very communicative, and followed instructions and came at the appointed times as planned. We were very happy with her care and would love to have Sarah take care of Chuck again when needed!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very little, however I just got into taking care of them professionally a year ago.

I am typically available after 2pm. I make sure to go over house rules and pet care rules with the client and make a plan going forward. I will provide services including but not limited to: dog walking, feeding, play time, potty breaks, etc.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakville
Cyndi is wonderful with our dog, Sherman and loved on our kitties as well. She was great at communicating, sending pictures and keeping us updated on how he was doing while we were away. We highly recommend Cyndi and will continue to book with her as long as we can. Thank you again, Cyndi!
Katy was a great dog sitter - it helped that I have known her for many years. She came for a meet and greet ahead of time for instructions etc. And Katy is a vet tech - what better person to leave with your dog for your dog's care- I was completely comfortable and confident about her abilities. Very friendly and professional.
Tara was such a blessing on this last trip. Communication was great as both dogs had issues. Tara has experience with pet medications that really is reassuring. Both dogs were great when we got home and very happy! I'm so glad she lives in our area too. We will be using Tara again when we go out of town. Thank-you Tara!
Asa was wonderful. Trustworthy, spent quality time with our puppy Violet. When I got home she looked better than when I left and is better behaved. I can't say enough great things about Asa. I never needed to worry because the updates and pictures told the story.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Christi on Rover! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such caring and capable hands. Christi went above and beyond by sending daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she treated our dogs with genuine kindness and affection, making sure they were not only well cared for, but also loved. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does, and that made all the difference for us. We’re incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate to look after their pets!
Diane went above and beyond to make certain my Sheltie and Ragdoll cat were well taken care of, loved and happy. I especially enjoyed the pics of Charlie she would send twice a day. I know now who to request when I need someone to care for them again. Thanks Diane!

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.
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!
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 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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
