“Julia took care of our three cats for a week. We appreciated the pics from each visit (despite one cat being too shy to ever make himself known.) We look forward to Julia caring after our cats again in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for pets of many different species from large and small dogs to cats, bunnies, and fish since I was 10 years old. Because of this, I'm comfortable with handling different temperaments, routines, and specialized care needs! While I love pets of all shapes and sizes, I have more experience with larger breeds, but I thrive with low to medium energy dogs. That said, I grew up with a Doberman, a Belgian Malinois, and a French Mastiff. I am very familiar with both high-drive breeds and gentle giants. I actually formed the strongest bond with my French Mastiff over our shared love of sleeping! As I’m not in school at the moment I currently have an open and highly flexible schedule, I can adapt to your pet's routine and needs. My main commitment outside of pet sitting is caring for my own pets at home, my cat and three bunnies! Because my time is so flexible, I can offer dedicated time, attentive care, and flexible drop-in or sitting hours. I prioritize communication, safety, and respect for your home! I’ll send frequent photo and video updates so you know your pet is thriving. Before any booking, I make sure to write down all key details, including your pet's routine, feeding instructions, emergency contacts, and household rules so everything runs smoothly!
“Chloe was very good with our pets and very accommodating with the booking. She made me feel assured that my pets would be well cared for and they were. Even my grumpy senior cat was sitting in her lap. Highly recommend”

About: I have lived with cats my entire life. I always wanted to add a dog to our family growing up but it wasn’t possible at the time. So as soon as I was able, I started fostering dogs. I absolutely adore animals and I can’t wait to meet your pets. Pet care is my current full time job during my university summer break. I am available in the GTA from April to August at any time. I understand that every pet is different and has different needs. I look forward to hearing from you as the owner the best way to take care of your pet.
“Yvonne followed clear instructions and sent me a ton of pictures. This was my first time letting someone spend a lot of time with my fur baby and she made me feel super comfortable and that he was safe in her hands - she even came for a meet and greet before hand to make him more comfortable as he is a rescue and skittish! Thanks so much. Will definitely be using you again!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond and was so wonderful with our cat, he absolutely loved her. She was a pleasure to work with and made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend her!”
“Riley has been an amazing help with my small families life changes. She's flexible, punctual, and great at assisting using this app for us less tech savvy. Clearly has a big heart for the furry ones. Provides lots of details with pics every visit. I would recommend to anyone!”
“Jocelyn is a wonderful person and took great care of our pets. She has a natural affinity towards animals. She paid attention to details and treated my pets with kindness and care. I am very happy with her. She communicated regularly with me during the visits with pictures and details. I possibly can't ask for more. We will definitely have her back in the future. Thank you”

For now, I have time to care for pets every day of the week and on weekends. Write to me so we can work out a schedule. I have a house where I can take them in.

“Lisa took care of our cat Winston for us while we were away. He can be a very rambunctious cat and finding someone who was very clearly comfortable with cats like Lisa is was very important to us.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ancaster
Holly was great with my two cats during her drop-in visits! They’re usually pretty shy around new people, but they came out to greet her quickly. She was communicative and kept me updated, and I was confident they were being well taken care of. I came home to peaceful happy cats after my time away. I’d definitely book with her again!
Marisa was absolutely wonderful with our two fur babies while we were away on vacation. Thanks to her, we were completely tension free the entire time. She is incredibly kind, caring , and truly amazing with pets. Marisa has a warm, and attentive attitude, and communication with her was always easy and reassuring. We felt confident leaving our pets in her loving hands. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

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.

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.
