I specialize in providing a safe, loving environment tailored to the unique requirements of each pet. Additionally, I am experienced in administering medication, establishing feeding routines, and promoting activities to support their physical and emotional health.

“Amazing service and great communication. The boys (two Siamese) loved her and were treated like royalty. Accommodated our requests and concerns without fuss. Highly recommend.”
“Kendra was amazing! We were gone for almost a full week and we could enjoy our trip knowing she was there taking care of and providing the best support to my two cats. Kendra was wonderful at communicating and provided a detailed update after each visit. She also provided pictures when she was able to find our very shy cats. We could tell she truly loves animals and took the time and patience to look for them and leave them treats and toys to find. We’ll definitely be booking her again for future trips.”
“This was our first time using Rover as well as leaving our new rescue kitty for 3 days so we were very nervous about it. Tania made us feel very at ease with her professionalism and her level of communication throughout each check-in with our cat Willow. We felt she was very well cared for and would recommend Tania as well as use her services again!”
“Our cat Churro loves Cyndy! He is always so well taken care of when we are away. Every time we plan to be away, Cyndy is our go-to. We feel very at peace and happy knowing that she will be visiting our cat. 😺”
“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: I enjoy the company of all manner of creatures, currently owning a dog of my own named Addy, being a 9 year old half and half Hound and German Sheppard. Who is the sweetest boy ever. I have grown up around all types of creatures ranging from cats and dogs to lizards and horses. I am comfortable with all manner of dogs and am happy to take them on familiar walks or new adventures, making sure safety is a priority at all times, keeping them away from harm and on their leash. I love the outdoors and I have been living away from home the past year, and can keep a home nice and tidy despite pets. I have often helped my mother with her own pet sitting endeavours, she is a five-star sitter on rover named Caroline D. She is always on call. I currently have no job and am completely free for the summer apart from the first two weeks of July. I am fully open to all requests for house sitting or dog walking or kitty and dog drop-ins. I will gladly play with them as they want, make sure they feel comfortable, frequently check that they have water, and food if they are passive eaters, and set alarms for dog walking time or food if they have specific meal times. I can give medication as needed to creatures. Having dealt with a diabetic cat previously. I always carry extra poop bags and will clean litter trays and any messes that they may make promptly and thoroughly. I am happy to put your garbage bins out if needed as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for just about half my life, since I was 15 years old! I still care for my senior dog and have learnt so much as we’ve grown together over the years. She is still strong and energetic, and will be around for a long time to keep your pups company during their stays! I have also had experience sitting for others. I have experience with dogs at different age-stages, experience administering medication, caring for a sick pup, and senior care. I work part-time from home, so will be able to dedicate a lot of time and attention to your fur baby! I am also a home-body, so can provide continuous care with little-to-no time away. I have a small 15-year old fur baby myself, who will probably provide more fun company than I can! She is still playful in her seniority, and grew up with a sibling who kept her on her toes for most of her life. She will be a wonderful playmate for your small doggos. Our neighbourhood is safe, relatively quiet, and near a park. I am very vigilant while on walks and in parks, so safety is always a priority.
“Aly was everything we could hope for and want in a cat sitter/companion. She’s absolutely amazing and we felt incredibly at ease leaving Max in her care. Highly recommended if your pet is your little baby.”
“Eleanor is amazing with Nevi! She’s attentive, kind, and treats Nevi just like we do. Her communication is great, and she follows our training plan to keep things consistent. We highly recommend Eleanor — it’s clear she truly cares about animals!”
“Maddie is such a great sitter. Her calm demeaner really made Murphy relax. Murphy has separation anxiety, but Maddie put her at ease and therefore put us at ease. Highly recommend!”
“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: 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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in East York is $25

Eleanor was amazing! I reached out last minute to see if she could check in on Hank, and she was incredibly responsive, reliable, and accommodating. She was kind and immediately made me feel comfortable having her look after him. She sent lots of pictures and updates during the visit, which I appreciated. I had a great experience with Eleanor and will definitely be booking with her again!
Madeleine was absolutely lovely and I would definitely book with her again!!! She was always extremely communicative and prompt, left detailed “rover cards” and pictures, and really seemed to dedicate time and care during her visits with our kitty - which means the world to us. Leaving our kitty at home is always so hard, but I honestly felt very reassured knowing she was taking care of our girl!
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! 🐾💕🤗🥰
Once again, Lexi was fabulous with our cat while we were away for the week. Instructions are followed perfectly, she spends quality play time with Willow and cleaned the litter box. Lexi goes above and beyond to make sure all is well and of course, Willow loves Lexi. She greets Lexi at the door and really enjoys the scratches and pettings she always gets. I will continue to have Lexi take care of our girl again, she is simply wonderful.
Michelle is a fabulous sitter for our playful and energetic orange cat. She is a great communicator who sends the cutest updates of each visit. You can tell she sincerely cares about the pets she sits. She asked lots of great questions when we first booked her, aiming to get to know our kitty and his demeanor as much as possible so that she could give him the care that best suited him. We feel so lucky to have found such a lovely sitter for our cat, allowing us to go away and not worry that he's going to be lonely or bored. We've continued to use Michelle since our initial booking, and will be doing so again many times!

There are 6,795 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in East York. About 86% of East York sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
