“Radhika did a fantastic job of looking after my cat and checking in with my fish tank while I was on a two week vacation. Radhika is very positive and I was very happy with the level of communication I had from her while away! Highly recommended to others, and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Fantastic Support our Siameze cat is 16 years requiring additional care requiring 2 visits a day. We had a visit with our Vet after our trip who was very impressed that our cat had gained .5 lb during the trip. It is a pleasure comming home to a confident relaxed cat who being Siameze only told us off for about 15 minutes.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better for my new puppy. Eva was able to connect with my pup so easily from first time they met, I knew he was in good hands. Eva was great at engaging with my puppy to keep him busy during his period outside of his crate. He got a lot of positive attention and quality care over multiple check-ins when we were stuck and couldn't make it home at lunch time. It was such a relief knowing my dog was well managed and having a great time when Eva stopped by. I received regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. Exceptional service, responsiveness, genuine warmth, and absolute professionalism—I highly recommend Eva if looking for someone to care for your pet.”
“Eleanor did a fantastic job visiting my two cats. She went above and beyond and was super communicative. I felt totally safe leaving my cats with her and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“First time leaving Nefertiti alone for more than a day and she couldn't be in better care than with Sandie. Sandie sent multiple photo and video updates during each visit and I can tell Nefertiti was comfortable under her care. Thanks again Sandie.”
“Ali was GREAT. It was important to me to leave our baby with someone I could trust and she immediately made me and Yami feel comfortable. My Black cat walked right up to her and greeted her. She sent pictures which made us feel close to him. He seemed happy when we got home (though of course he was a bit upset we left at all). Ali is awesome, you should book with her! Highly recommend.”
“Josh is a very reliable and caring sitter. I felt confident that my furry baby was in good hands while I was away. He is uber responsive and takes great pictures that he shared with me. 10/10 would rehire.”
“We are so happy with the care and affection Candy gives our cat while we are away. She has taken care of him for a number of our getaways. We keep asking Candy because she is so reliable and responsive. We have peace of mind and always come home to a happy kitty.”
About: In addition to investing time to learn how to care for animals better, I have a degree in creative writing & publishing, and would love to provide a comprehensive service that will also include a mini-story (with photos!) about the time spent sitting and/or walking with your furry friend. Signing up for Rover was somewhat returning to roots—when I first went to college, I was a dog-walker on the side to make a bit of income! However, I recently said goodbye to one of my own best pet friends, a mini-aussie, this past June, who still had a bit of sass even after being 15-and-a-half years old. There is a special-shaped hole and void that never goes away whenever you lose your pet friend, and I also very much understand the specialized love, patience, and medical care that senior pets will require. Examples of senior caregiving / caring for animals with special needs have included administering ever-changing medications, (probiotics to fish oil to glucosamine to trazodone etc.), changing diapers upon experiencing incontinence, monitoring weeping, non-cancerous tumours with weekly photos to check growth along with daily cleansing around a sensitive anal area, providing full-service care after surgery for actual cancerous tumour removal (as well as basic physio due to arthritis and luxating patella), and so on. With senior animals, learning patience when they slow down in general and experience mood-changes and decreased energy is paramount. They will have good and bad days, and both kinds of days might include cleaning up daily vomit when their tummies become very sensitive when they age, learning how to make homemade dog food, changing their feeding habits every few years to ensure good gut health as per vet recommendations, and sleeping on couches beside them or near to them to ensure they aren't alone and feel comfortable. I've also been around cats most of my life. The last cat that my husband and I had was from the Humane Society, a black cat who had unfortunately been quarantined twice due to ringworm outbreaks during her time there, and as such viewed her time during the pandemic, living with her family (us) in an apartment, as, rightfully, another quarantine time. We had to learn how to give her patience, care, understanding, and support, and accept that she likely wouldn't fully heal from her experiences in enclosed spaces, but it was good enough that she felt safe and able to be herself with us. My schedule is highly flexible, I live within the East York catchment area, and I am happy to provide a short story/detailed narrative update after every visit (or end-of week summary, including confirmation of any medication or behavioural changes), so you can ensure your pet is in safe hands. Finally, a fun fact about me is that I learned how to needle-felt animals, including the cat image of a friend's cat attached within my photo carousel, and loved to to try and capture their endearing qualities! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, or schedule a meet & greet, to help you feel more comfortable with your decision to work with me! My schedule is currently very flexible during the week! I am free Monday-Friday, from 10 am until 3 pm, for one drop-in visit for your pet, or walk around the neighbourhood. Please note: drop-ins will include services like litter change, food and water refreshment, brushing / bathing, lots of pets etc., and are not suitable for clients on extended overnight stays. I have a first-aid certification for pets (September 2026), and have experience with separating cats and dogs during mealtime, crating dogs at bedtime, ensuring your pup knows to sit and wait before being served a meal, administering multiple medications at required time etc., so can follow your eating schedule and daily routines you have set up for your pet. If also needed, I am happy to groom your pet (brushing and/or washing your pet, brushing teeth, cleaning out ears etc.), change litter boxes/refresh water dishes, and, of course, dole out a pre-determined amount of treats when they have indeed been a very good pet!
“Maddie is a wonderful sitter who gave our cat a lot of love during a few days away. I would definitely work with Maddie again and highly recommend to anyone else looking for someone who will provide the highest level of care to your furry felines. Maddie is also a great communicator and provided very informative daily recaps to us.”
About: Hello everyone! I'm Joelle, an avid pet enthusiast with a lifelong love for furry friends. Growing up in a pet-centric household surrounded by 4 dogs and 1 cat, my passion for animals started from day one. My journey in caring for dogs began in high school, and it's been a rewarding adventure ever since. My husband, on the other hand, comes from a family of cat lovers, making him more of a feline aficionado. (Don't get me wrong – I adore both cats and dogs!) Having a delightful pet around not only brings joy to our lives but also serves as a source of rejuvenation. I thoroughly enjoy engaging with them through play and care. Understanding the challenge of entrusting your beloved pet to someone else, I'm here to alleviate your concerns. Let's have a chat, and I'll gladly share more about myself. Throughout the day, I can keep you connected with your furry companion by sharing pictures and videos. Just like people, each pet has its unique preferences and personality traits. Please provide as much information as possible about your little (or big) one, so we can ensure their well-being and happiness to the fullest! Working from home allows me and my husband to be flexible and cater to most pet-related needs. I'm available for boarding, walking, and daycare on weekdays and weekends. I usually work in my bedroom, and your pet will be staying with me in my room or enjoying their own time in the living room!
About: Grown up having dogs at home all my life so far. My family and friends would always get me to dog sit their munchkins. I love walking and would love taking those munchkins for walks and have some playtime. Looked after all age group of pups and cats also looked after birds.Personally I simply cannot wait to have a pup of my own once i do settle in. I have always wanted to work for a pet store and did want to pursue carrier as a vet. Reliable, loyal, playful and lots of pampering are few other pointers about me. Back in India, I've not just had pups but also a variety of fish, turtles, birds and some reptiles.k Looking forward on working with you guys and an opportunity on interacting with your puppies. Thank you in advance for giving me an opportunity. I am a freelance Graphic designer so I'm pretty flexible with the days and timings. I usually like to maintain the routine that the pups are used to and follow them accordingly This is where the meet and greet comes in handy.having detailed information about the pup boarding in or coming in for day care helps making their stay/visit more comfortable. If there are more than 2pups involved, I make sure to take permissions from the parents before confirming they stay/visit. Lots of play time indoor, breaks and then walks.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 2 years. I haven't owned my own but I did babysit my friends', neighbors', and family members' puppies or senior dogs. I have educated myself how to give care for the senior dogs and I am still improving myself in different topics; such as, how to give a bath and dog's psychology. I am working from home and I am teaching English; that's why, I can always have an eye on your pet and spend lots of time together. I have a fenced yard in my apartment and there might be my neighbors' dogs around so they can play together. I am very close to the beach and dog parks so your pet can always play and walk around with me in the nature or with other people's pets. 🐕

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East York
Candela & Remston were amazing! They dropped in twice a day to feed, play, and clean my cats litter while I was away visiting family and I couldn’t be more happy with their service! They sent me multiple pictures at every drop in and a video every now and then! My Whiskers was so happy and I would definitely book with them again. Thank you so much!
Katelyn was amazing with both our boys. Sherlock gets a bit of separation anxiety and needs extra assurance even though he is not shy when we are around. Caspian is happy for someone to admire his floof and play with him. Both trusted Katelyn and we came home to two healthy and clearly well taken care of kitties. Her photos and updates gave us such a peace of mind during our trip. I highly recommend her! She has a genuine love for pets and it shows in the care she provides! We be happy to have her watch the kitties whenever we take another trip!
Tania has been great. She is very responsive and always ontime and provides quality updates. Additionally, my Pixie seems to really get on with her, whenever I'm away for a few days my kitty is always in good spirits and well taken care of - would recommend Tania fully!
Madison did a wonderful job of taking care of my 2 cats while I was away for a week! She followed my instructions perfectly and even went the extra mile tidying up the bits of litter that would shake off my cats’ paws after they did their business. She played with my cats, and even cleaned up a bit of vomit from one of my cats. She’s a gem of a lady and I will certainly be re-booking with her the next time I go away. Thank you, Madison, from me, Lily and Poppy 💕
We loved Alicia's positive energy and friendliness and felt so comfortable having her come to pop in our cat, Willow, for the weekend! She sent us little updates and photos on the report cards after each visit and we are very happy with everything she did for Willow while we were away. Would highly recommend.
Madeleine is fantastic! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter. While we were on holiday, Madeleine went above and beyond to ensure our elderly cat was well cared for. She also sent us updates each day. I would definitely reach out to her again next time we need someone to watch our kitty!

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.

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.
