About: Ive always loved caring for animals from cats and dogs to reptiles, amphibians and rodents, I have experience with puppies and kittens, administering medication, and grooming. My schedule is flexible, I have a lot of extra time and would love to spend it with your animal friends. I would love a meet and greet to meet them! I have a fenced yard and a friendly beagle that loves other dogs but can be separated if necessary. I can crate your animal if needed, administer medications, take them for walks, clean litter boxes and groom cats and whatever fits your animals needs.
“Rosanna was great with my elderly cat. She was consistent with visit times and checked in with me if she had any concerns or questions. I felt comfortable knowing that Nikki was well taken care of while I was away and would absolutely recommend Rosanna to anyone needing a cat sitter!”
About: Hi! I'm Anna — a dedicated pet-sitter with over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. What sets me apart is my deep commitment to creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for your pets, as if they were my own. I'm also known for my strong communication with pet parents — providing regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel completely at ease while you're away. I treat every pet like family and take pride in building long-term, trusting relationships with both pets and their people. Let me know how I can make your time away stress-free for both you and your furry loved one! Because I work from home and have flexible availability, I am able to provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple potty breaks, medication at a certain time, or just some extra cuddles and attention, I'm there — every step of the way. I only take on a limited number of bookings at once to ensure that each pet gets our full attention and care. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness is my top priorities every single day. In my home, pets are welcomed into a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I never overcrowd, so my pet gets plenty of individual attention. I keep a consistent routine with regular potty breaks, walks, enrichment activities, and cuddle time. Safety is key, so I carefully introduce pets to new environments and monitor all interactions.
“Alissa is amazing! We couldn't be happier with her care of our two cats over Christmas. She provided excellent reports for every visit - checking in exactly on time every time, taking lots of photos and giving us detailed updates on how each of them were eating and doing and anything that might seem "off". She played with them, brushed them and showered them with love and in return, they loved her back. We have a very timid cat who hides from every pet sitter - Alissa brought her completely out of her shell and she came running for play and pets! We had total peace of mind on our holidays, it was such a gift. We won't hesitate to rebook!”

I also work at Pet Value so I absolutely love all animals:) I will make sure they are fed, washed, walked / went to potty, and overall having a great time. Playing with them and making sure they are safe
“Rose was so wonderful - I really loved that she wanted to have a small meet and greet with Arlo so that she could get to know him more. She was so understanding, loving and had such a warm energy to her when we met her. She really cares about animals you can see that through how she talks about animals and how she cares for them. See you again Rose! :)”
About: I have cared for pets from friends and family and have experience working with rescue dogs who needed extra patience, understanding, and care due to behavioral challenges. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently working part-time so I am flexible and available to meet your needs! My weekends are usually free, and so are my mornings and afternoons. I have a fenced backyard, and a 2 year old prince, Atlas, who is an outdoor cat and can be of lovely company. I live on a quiet street and near lots of greenery and scenic pathways. Perfect for long enjoyable walks.
About: With over 4 years of dedicated experience, I specialize in the unique needs of small and medium breeds (under 40 Ibs). I understand that "little" doesn't mean "low energy"— whether it's a spirited Frenchie or a sensitive Maltese, I provide a calm, controlled environment where your pup can feel secure without the stress of larger, more boisterous dogs. My day is built around high-attention care. We start with fresh water, breakfast, and a gentle walk or backyard playtime to get those little legs moving. Throughout the day, I incorporate frequent potty breaks and short play sessions to keep energy levels balanced. Evenings are all about wind-down time and plenty of cuddles, mimicking the cozy home routine your pet is already used to. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their "home away from home." I maintain a strictly small-dog-friendly environment, prioritizing safety by keeping floors clear and exits secure. Your pup will enjoy supervised play and cozy rest areas without the chaos of a crowded kennel. For sittings in your home, my priority is minimizing stress by sticking to your pet's established habits. I follow your specific feeding schedules, walking routes, and "potty" cues to keep their day predictable. I also provide detailed home security-bringing in mail and watering plants-so you can travel with total peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Etobicoke is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 6,774 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Etobicoke. About 87% of Etobicoke 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.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Etobicoke 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
