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 :)
“We had such a great experience with Stacey. She sent messages and photos each time she visited. Great communication, great photos of our cat, and we felt good knowing he was well cared for while we were away. I will definitely book her again.”
About: I grew up with two maltese mutts, so I have plenty experience feeding, walking, and bathing them. I love dogs so much and would be happy to help out when needed! I am currently working part-time at a ceramics studio and taking one online summer course, so I have tons of time to cuddle and play with your doggies! I currently have no pets of my own, so all of my attention will be on your pups! I have a large, fenced back yard and live in a basement apartment with its own side door to the yard.
“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: Since a kid I’ve had many pets in my life, they have a special place in my heart. I have over 10 years of personal pet ownership, and currently have a 2 cats. I have over 4 years of experience fostering complex medical needs from puppies, older dogs and kittens. I’ve fostered complex medical care animals for over 7 years. From bottle feeding new born kittens, to a palliative care dog to a blind bearded dragon! I’m comfortable with young, full of energy puppies/kitten to a senior who just wants to snooze. I’m experienced with medically complex pets who need some extra TLC, medication, and patience. I also have experience handling small mammals, birds and reptiles so exotics are also welcomed 😊 I am quite flexible! I can adjust for early mornings, late at night or somewhere in between. I am happy to provide a one time service or something ongoing. Your pet will be my centre, and I ensure that whatever routine they need will be followed to keep anxiety low and comfort high. If they need a bit of decompression, I’ll keep my eye on them but leave space. If they need to be Velcroed to me, I’ll be clinging next to them. I want their experience with me to best match what they are use to. I’m comfortable adjusting approaches as needed and think flexibly in my care is key! I want to work with you to ensure your pet builds trust with me as well as you.

“I knew within a few minutes of meeting Brook that he was the right person to visit my 2 cats twice a day. He sent me daily updates with pics which allowed me to relax and not worry while out of town for 10 days. He did a splendid job feeding/ cleaning litter box and kept the cats area clean. I will definitely be using Brook for further sitting and recommending him to all pet parents. Thank you SO MUCH Brook. I appreciate a job well done!”
About: I had the privilege of caring for my little dachshund Andy for 14 years together.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, from fostering to raising family pets, and I’ve loved every part of it. Over the years, I’ve looked after all kinds of breeds—from tiny pugs to large Rottweilers—which taught me how to handle different temperaments with patience, calm, and care. What makes me different is the attention your dog will get here. I work from home, so your pup won’t be left alone—they’ll have 24/7 companionship, playtime, and cuddles whenever they want. Right now, I’m welcoming small and medium breeds, and I make it my priority to treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. When you book with me, you’re not just getting a sitter—you’re getting someone who’s dedicated to keeping tails wagging and hearts happy, around the clock. Since I work from home, pet care is a natural part of my day. I love having dogs around to keep me company, so they get lots of playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. Your pup won’t ever feel lonely because I’m always here. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe and comfortable environment where they can relax and play. I keep spaces clean, remove anything that could be harmful, and give plenty of supervised time both indoors and outdoors. I can closely monitor them daily and adjust care to their needs, whether that’s play, rest, or walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I give regular feeding, walks, playtime, and of course, lots of affection—always treating their home and pet with the same respect as I do my own.

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!
Vanessa was extremely dedicated in her time with Renzo. She provided consistent, clear updates and, ever since she first met Renzo, she instantly clicked with him and showed genuine care for animals. Sitters like her give great ease of mind when you're away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
Wonderful experience with Simon and Ali with my new puppy for drop-in visits. Extremely accommodating, communicative, and flexible with my schedule, even as things changed. Also accommodated a meet and greet in advance of starting Rover sessions to meet my puppy. I felt very confident leaving my puppy in their care and well supported as I returned to work.
Melissa is outstanding. My nervous rescue pup, Brynn agrees! Melissa is wonderful with dogs and Brynn immediately warmed up to her. Now she runs to the window watching when she leaves. I have complete peace of mind knowing Brynn is well cared for and loved. The pictures sent throughout of Brynn having the time of her life helps too. Highly recommend.
We are so lucky that Stacey was available to do drop in visits with our 2 dogs and 2 cats! We left for a weekend feeling like she had everything well in hand in spite of the number of pets she would be caring for with their variety of physical and emotional needs. Her photos and updates kept us informed and we were able to see how well they were cared for and attended to. I cannot recommend her services highly enough and will definitely check her availability the next time we need to have someone check in on our crew!
Absolutely amazing sitter! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my pup. Abi went above and beyond. She is super reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. My dog instantly adored them (which says a lot!) and came home happy, calm, and well cared for. I got regular updates and adorable photos, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your fur baby, but Abi is that person. I’ll 100% be booking again and can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for a sitter who truly treats your fur baby like their own. 🐾💛
