“Bailey is a very conscientious and thoughtful caretaker. She did a great job with my cat. She gave her lots of love and attention, and she was in excellent shape when I returned home. The cat and I agree — I will be using her again and my cat has a new friend.”
“Brenna reassured me that my cat was in good hands, so I didn’t have to worry while I was away. I enjoyed reading the detailed events on the Rover card as well as looking at all the pictures. I highly recommend Brenna to look after your animal.”
“Brittany is great ! This was my first time using rover but she was kind enough to come out and meet my pups before actually starting. I have two big kinda crazy dogs and she knows how to handle them. My big guy who is normally a little shy loved her right away and went in his kennel and brought her his toy ? will definitely continue using her !”
“We are so grateful for the care and attention you show our girls. It’s a huge relief to know they are in such good hands when we travel. Thank you so much!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality! Before pursuing Occupational Therapy, I completed coursework on a pre-veterinary track, giving me additional knowledge of animal care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies to senior companions. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, going for a run, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their routine. I’ll always treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I recently graduated with my Master’s in Occupational Therapy and am currently studying for my board exam, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
“Merrick is fantastic and I will absolutely have him watch my dogs in the future. My dogs are usually anxious when I travel, but did great in Merrick's care. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.”
“I thought I give Rover a try with a drop in service with Tara. She's responsive with messages and we were able to meet and greet within the same day of request. My dog seemed to be ok with Tara when they met, and Tara is definitely passionately about dogs from meeting her twice and seeing her spending time with my dog. Glad Tara was able to help me with taking my dog out for a break in the middle of the day and give him refreshments. Will request for her help again in the future.”
“This is the first time Grace helped us with a drop in visit in the middle of the day and she was awesome! She arrived right on schedule and spent some quality time with our pup. We look forward to having her stay for some overnights in the future.”
About: I’ve had family dogs almost my entire life that i’ve helped care for! i got my own puppy about 5 years ago & ever since then my home has been a revolving door for foster pups, strays, & just any dog that’s needed a home along the way! I work part time, around 20 - 25 hours a week. I usually only work 3 days per week so i’m free the rest of the week & every weekend! I have experience with dogs of all sizes & breeds! I’ve crate trained all the dogs that have been in my care so I’m very familiar & comfortable with putting dogs in crates, taking them out, & just using a crate in general. I currently have 2 large dogs (irish wolfhound & pitbull) so i have plenty of practice taking care of & walking strong dogs & dogs that pull or lunge.
“Our dog has a serious autoimmune disease that requires daily medications so we really needed someone responsible and reliable to take care of him. He also has a lot of anxiety around new people, but Jenny accommodated to our needs and took the time to help us all feel comfortable. She took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of town. We will be requesting for her to care for our dog in the future! I would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Jasmine was great! She sent multiple pictures with each visit and made me feel like my pup was well taken care of! Great communication and was able to give my Dutch some oral medication. Would for sure recommend!”
“Lidia was the best pet sitter! She is so thorough, attentive, and thoughtful. She made sure my senior cat was very well taken care of! I found out the day before I had to leave that my cat has hyperthyroidism so I was worried about leaving him, but Lidia’s updates were very in-depth and made me feel confident and comfortable in his care. She will definitely be our go-to pet sitter from now on!”
“Shannon did an excellent job checking in our puppers! Looking forward to having Shannon care for them on a regular basis while we are at work :)”
“Damaris gave carr, love and affection to my dog and cat. she stepped up in a pinch when my sitter had a family emergency. Will definitely get het to housesit again!”
“Melissa went above and beyond! She was such a blessing and help when we ended up with a family emergency while away. She took care of our plants, packages, and any needs at our home! She communicated very well, and I could tell that she really cared for our babies. Thank you!! ?❤️?”

Leigh is so warm and wonderful and clearly has a love for animals! I have had her take care of my kitties twice (so far) while I’ve travelled for work—they love her!! She sends such thoughtful messages and pictures of my cats. It certainly eases my anxiety knowing they are in such caring, capable hands.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Oakville on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
