“I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and caring cat sitter. Michelle looked after my cat for three weeks while I was away and did an outstanding job. She is very responsive (usually responds within minutes), punctual, as well as personable and a great communicator. She put my mind at ease with daily photos and let me know when I received notices from building management. When a heat wave started in Toronto, she checked in about additional ways to keep the kitty cool. I came home to a happy and relaxed cat!”
“Once again, Wendy was great - she is my go-to sitter and I’ll be using her again soon. She is very caring, reliable, and responsive. She has gone above and beyond to assist me while watching my cats, which I greatly appreciate. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have worked in a doggie boarding kennel for a couple summers; looked after all kinds of dogs big and small for friends and family. Currently very flexible, working part time and seeking a second job. I am typically available throughout weekdays, but open on weekends at the moment as well. I have a small but spacious studio apartment for short visits that welcomes pets. I also have access down to the beach (approximately a 30 minute walk).
“We had a great experience with Stacey. Easy communication, showed up the same time each day, sent plenty of photos and updates. Cats loved the company and pets. She even brought packages into the house for us without asking. Will definitely use Stacey again in the future!”
“A perfect experience with Lexi! Both our cat and dog took to her immediately at the meet & greet. We were thankfully able to get her last minute for the Easter weekend. On her visits, she spent quality playtime with our kitty and followed any instructions we had. Our cat seemed very relaxed and content when we arrived home. I would absolutely recommend Lexi and we definitely plan on using her services again! Thanks so much, Lexi!”
“For my first experience with Rover and a pet sitter it was stress free. With daily updates and photos of my girl I was able to enjoy my time away and know kitty cat was in good hands. Thank you Charlotte for taking amazing care of my girl!! I will definitely reach out again the next time I travel.”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of many friend's dogs, from a boisterous German Shepherd puppy to an aged 10 year old chihuahua. I also have experience caring for abandoned dogs of many temperaments in a shelter for about 9 months through cleaning kennels, feeding dogs, playing with them, walking them, handling them, showing them off for adoption. I am currently a student on summer break working part time for about three to four days a week. My flexible work schedule gives me free time, which I would love to spend caring for your pets. I am happy to discuss specific times and dates for availability. I am currently renting my accommodation and am unable to care for pets at my residence. Therefore I will be available to care for pets at the owner's home instead.
About: When I was 13 years old I’ve taken care of dogs other than my own. I always loved the idea of spending time with dogs because they also make me happy and excited. I work part time and hybrid so having to dog walk would also help me get my steps in and be happy about taking care of animals! I feed them with good food, walk them at least an hour every day (when my schedule was still spacious), keeping a clean environment for them, engaging with them and not leaving them for a long time, keeping them away from dust, and I just love them like a family.
“Eleanor was a delight to work with, and my cat absolutely adores her! She passed along lots of updates and it clear that Teddy was happy, safe, and having fun while I was away!”
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 :)
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.
“Sydney was lovely to work with again (this was the second time she cared for my cats while I was away, but I forgot to leave feedback last time). She arrived when she said she would, sent updates, and asked questions when needed. I will book her again next time I am in need!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East York
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!
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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a East York stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in East York choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
