About: I have had cats and dogs over the year and provided them with tender loving care. I’m a mature Masters student and am patient, compassionate and kind. Hello there! I am a loving mom and joyful dog walker. No matter the weather, I’ll give your babies the love and exercise they need to thrive. I have medication administration training and care for vulnerable adults. I was cleared with a police check for my current role. I’ll provide the same level of care for your loved one.
About: I have raised a Jack Russell Terrier from a pup to now, where he is 10 and just as rambunctious as before. I believe in the positive reinforcement to training dogs and I am strongly against using physical force with any animal. Scrooby, my JRT, is a loving, friendly and well behaved companion who defies expectations when it comes to his breed! I have also taken on a husky who is trained with similar methods, and while she does display the typical husky traits of momentary defiance when it comes to obeying commands, she is handled with patience and love. I work in film with large gaps between working and not working, which leaves me large amounts of free time I would love to fill up. My dogs split time between myself and a former partner of mine, so I often have time where I don't have dogs around and would love to fill that time with other wonderful doggos. Both dogs have access to a fenced backyard, and usually get to visit the park close to my home that has a large dog park separated between small and large breed dogs. Indoor, there are multiple dog beds and two couches freely used by dogs.
“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!”

“This was my second time using Charlotte’s cat sitting services and just like the first time, she did a great job! She kept me up to date on how my fur baby was doing on a regular basis, sending photos with every update, as well as following all care instructions along the way. She made me feel okay about leaving my little love as I knew she was in capable hands. Charlotte is lovely to deal with, as well as being very professional. I will definitely be booking Charlotte again!”

“Eric was a fantastic cat sitter for my little guy, Benji. He was responsible, attentive, and clearly experienced with animals. From the start, communication was smooth and professional — Eric kept me updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that he took the time to understand Benji’s routine and personality. When I returned, everything was just as I’d left it — clean litter box, full water bowls, and most importantly, a very content cat. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Eric again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable, thoughtful care for their pet.”

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!

I specialize in providing a safe, loving environment tailored to the unique requirements of each pet.

About: My golden doodle loves to meet new friends and will get along well with your dog. I am experienced training dogs to listen well and do tricks. I am available on short notice for dog walking or boarding. I can work around your schedule and be ready to care for your dog when you need me. I always make sure dogs are comfortable and happy. My fenced backyard is a good spot for dogs to play outside. I’m also nearby bigger parks for longer walks or runs. I go on big dog walks almost everyday, around noon. I am able to take dogs to the park at other times during the day as well. My fenced backyard makes it convenient for dogs to go outside several times throughout the day. I am also located near great parks for fetch and runs.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Aussies, Labs, and now a Terrior and a Greyhound. I’m very patient and gentle and will take great care of your dog. I understand dogs needs for not just excessive but mental stimulation to keep them happy and comfortable throughout the day. I’m currently not working and have a very open schedule. I walk my own dogs at 8am and 5pm so other than that I am open I am constantly aware of doors and gates and double check everything coming and going. I grew up with a dog with a knack for getting out so plenty of experience with those types.

About: We have lots of experience with babysitting our friends dogs (sometimes for 1 week+) and before we get our own we wanted to try out Rover! My husband had a dog growing up and I am very responsible so if you want a type A girlie watching your pup or cat - I’m the one! My schedule is very flexible and so is my husbands. We would work home most days with flexible work schedules and weekends free. Always willing to move schedules around to watch your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard, small but lots of parks nearby so we would mostly be taking your pup for walks! Very safe neighbourhood in Woodbine Gardens. House is already cat and dog proof. Our kitty will be at grandmas while we board your fur baby :)
“I booked Amy for about 10 days to drop in and take care of my cats and she really went above and beyond! I really appreciate the frequent updates and her effort to keep the cats entertained and well taken care of while I’m away. Would definitely book again if I had the chance! L”


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. 🐕
About: What sets me apart is my understanding of dog psychology and body language. I’ve spent a lot of time learning how dogs communicate through their behavior, posture, and signals, which helps me recognize when a dog is comfortable, nervous, overstimulated, or needs some space. I focus on building trust and creating a calm, positive environment where each dog can feel safe and comfortable. I also take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs rather than treating every dog the same. I am currently working part-time and have hybrid studies. Pet care fit perfectly in my daily routine. I integrate alot of outside activities besides the gym like parks, trails, beaches and calm neighborhoods. I make sure every pet knows that they are in a safe environment by representing a calm and confident lead for the dog. I make sure (if applicable) meals, medications and other routine activities are being met and the pet owners are updated frequently.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East York
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.

Wilson and Jan were great! They were very quick to reply and you can tell they genuinely care about dogs. When they go on the walk with your dog, they'll send you a live GPS tracker and they also log where/when your pup went (#1 or #2). They were also super patient because the power went out in my building during the walk.

Alie was amazing with my dog, Jasper. She was caring and took the time to get to know him. My dog was exhausted when he came home, after lots of love and entertainment. Alie also texted me lots of pictures and updates. I will definitely be sending Jasper back to Alie!

Rebeca was absolutely wonderful with Juno! She has such a calm and reassuring presence and really knows how to work with reactive dogs, which made me feel completely at ease. She was super responsive throughout and sent frequent updates, which I really appreciated. Juno seemed so calm and comfortable with her and had a lovely, relaxing time. I’d definitely trust Rebeca with Juno again and highly recommend her! 🐾💕🤗🥰

Clara took such great care of Hank, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the start, I felt completely comfortable trusting her with him. She provided thoughtful updates, detailed notes, and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Hank was well cared for and in great hands. Clara was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared about his well-being. We are so grateful for the care she provided and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. I would recommend Clara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Daniela was amazing with Koda. Her communication throughout was excellent, and she sent so many updates, pictures, and videos which gave us so much peace of mind. Koda was so well looked after and we will absolutely be booking with Daniela again. highly recommend!

Sarah is the best person who has ever cared for my dog. I'm using another Rover sitter in another city who also had 5 stars and they are so much worse than Sarah that I was motivated to come back and leave a review. Sarah is an outstanding communicator who pays close attention to the animal's behavior. I can't recommend her highly enough.

We are so fussy about who takes care of our sweet Fable, she's the centre of our universe and we RARELY leave her with others. Maddie instantly made us realise that our girl was in amazing hands, and we are SO grateful. She was so kind to our silly, stubborn 13 year old golden retriever and it was clear from the daily pics that Fable was having the best time. We can't wait for Maddie to hang out with Fable again ASAP.

Laura was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she gave to Morty. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating, which made coordinating everything so easy and stress-free. It’s such a relief to know that when I’m away, Morty is in such capable and caring hands. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely great dog sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Morty again!
