About: I have always been around animals, throughout my entire life. I have dog sit and walked a variety of dogs, from Chihuahuas to American Bullies. I have a lot of energy to play with energetic dogs, and am very patient. I love to be organized and keep note of everything I need to properly take care of your pet, as well as stay attentive to keep them safe. I am currently in university, however my hours are flexible and only fall on two days. Either way we can work around with what you need and I am very lenient. I believe that different pets require different needs, and I would like to provide a comfortable and safe environment. This includes: Frequent walks and potty breaks, time to play, food and dietary needs, medication necessities, and if your animal likes affection, I would more than welcome that.
“Melissa stayed at our house for two weeks & took excellent care of our two dogs (even though one was quite the troublemaker while we were away!). She's gave us regular updates, sending pictures and videos ensuring us that everyone was happy back at home. We'll definitely be reaching out to Melissa again the next time we're away!”

“Alissa was wonderful! This was our first time having someone come into our home to stay with our pets, and Alissa put us right at ease. Not only was she incredibly communicative, sending multiple updates throughout the day, but she left the house SPOTLESS! Thank you so much for all of your help and love toward our babies, Alissa! We are looking forward to your future visits! Newman, especially, is looking forward to more endless cuddles.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and more in a variety of home settings. I’m experienced with different temperaments and always take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality. Whether it’s energetic walks, calm companionship, or maintaining a consistent routine, I focus on creating a peaceful, stress-free environment where pets feel safe and at ease in their own home. I provide thoughtful, reliable care for both pets and homes, keeping everything clean, organized, and just as you left it. My goal is to ensure you feel at ease knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for—so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, including morning, afternoon, and evening visits as needed. I’m able to plan my day around each pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for without disruption. I’m also organized and dependable, so I make sure every visit is on time and every care instruction is followed carefully. I provide drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting services, always focusing on safety, trust, and consistency in each pet’s familiar environment. During visits and walks, I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, exercise needs, litter box maintenance, and any special requirements. I make sure pets feel calm, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. When house sitting, I treat each home with respect and care—keeping everything clean, organized, and secure. I ensure doors are locked, routines are followed, and pets are never left stressed or unattended. My priority is to create a safe and reassuring experience so both pets and owners feel completely at ease while they are away.

I have a few clients that I do daily walks and drop-in visits for so I am away for 3-4 hours in the morning. As I live in an Apartment I will not be providing care in my home, I also have a cat with FIV and cannot bring any new pets around as a safety precaution. I am available to provide care in clients home as directed.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and I know how to play with, care for, and look after dogs. Recently I have looked after two dogs this summer for pay with glowing reviews During the summer I am completely free for all pet sitting jobs, during the fall I will be attending university and will only be able to do dog walking, or check ins during the day Dogs will be monitored all the time I like to have my eyes on the dogs at all times to make sure they aren’t getting into anything they aren’t supposed to. I will gladly be in the backyard with the dogs to ensure they don’t escape through any sort of openings in fences
“We had a great experience with Alaa while away on a trip. From the very beginning, communication was open, prompt, and reassuring. He took the time to listen to our instructions and made sure to follow them closely. It was clear Alaa spent quality time with Apollo and treated him like his own. On top of that, Alaa was respectful and responsible in maintaining our home. I highly recommend him to watch your fur babies!”

“This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit apprehensive, but Michael alleviated all those worries immediately! They were such an amazing baby sitter and treated our two pups with the utmost respect, care, and most importantly, kindness. Gonzalo, Celeste, and Sheep (Michael's doggy daughter) had a blast together and we are grateful we found such a genuinely wonderful and fun person to take care of our children. We can't recommend Michael highly enough!”

“From the moment Laura stepped into our house, Ziggy was smitten! It is obvious that Laura (like us) is a true dog lover. Our getaway was worry free, and we came home to a very happy dog, and a nice clean house. Laura was very communicative, did not hesitate to ask questions and followed all of our requests. Would not hesitate to use her again!”

“From the moment she arrived to stay with our 18-month old Shih-poo Rosie, Vaish knew exactly what to do to connect with our shy girl. Within ten minutes Rosie and Vaish had become fast friends and we left for the day knowing all was well. Vaish maintained Rosie’s walking and feeding schedule, and sent lovely photos and messages through the day to keep us apprised of how things were going. Vaish was the epitome of excellence in a dog carer—wonderful and timely communication, great questions and super interaction with Rosie and with us. We’re so grateful we found you! Thank you, Vaish!”

About: I provide attentive, personalized care that’s tailored to each pet’s personality, age, and routine. I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Puppy & young pet training: I’m patient and consistent with reinforcing basic training, routines, and positive behaviors for puppies and young pets. • Senior pet care: I’m comfortable caring for older pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, extra monitoring, or mobility support. • Anxiety-aware care: I’m mindful of pets that are nervous or shy and help them feel calm through gentle handling and a predictable routine. • Regular updates: I provide frequent updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident your pet is doing well. • Clean and organized care: I keep feeding areas, and living spaces tidy and follow all care instructions carefully.

I plan my schedule so I can give pets consistent attention, walks, feeding times, and play throughout the day. I’m home often, which allows me to provide regular check-ins and make sure pets aren’t left alone for long periods. During the week, I keep a structured routine that makes it easy to follow each pet’s normal schedule, whether that includes morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. On weekends, I’m usually even more flexible and able to spend extra time with pets for longer walks, playtime, or companionship.

In my home: I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, exercise, and sleep routines. Pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also having space to rest. I always supervise interactions and keep their safety a top priority. In my client’s home: I respect your home and maintain your pet’s usual routine so they feel secure in their familiar environment. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or yard care, playtime, and companionship. I also provide updates with photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for them, my goal is to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and well looked after.

Etobicoke pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our anxious pup, Leah! Venessa stayed at our place for 12 days while we were away, and it was absolutely the right call for Leah's comfort and peace of mind. Venessa was attentive, caring, and clearly understood how to handle an anxious dog. She kept us updated regularly throughout our trip, which made being away so much easier — we never once felt stressed or worried about Leah. She also went above and beyond by staying in touch with our friends and family who were available on the days Venessa had in-office work commitments, ensuring Leah always had familiar faces around her. That level of coordination and thoughtfulness was truly impressive. If you have a dog who struggles with anxiety, look no further. Venessa gets it, and she handles it beautifully. We'll absolutely be booking her again!

D’Arcy was amazing during our home sitting booking for my two dogs, Kiki and Bingo. He was reliable, caring, and kept the house clean and organized while we were away. Kiki and Bingo were both happy, comfortable, and clearly very well looked after. He gave updates throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. I would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.

Melissa was AMAZING! We just moved to the Toronto area 3 months ago and this was the first we’ve left our pup, Sebby, since we moved. He’s a pretty shy introvert, which comes out in a vocal manner when he meets new people. Melissa was very patient and came to get to know Sebby a few times before we left. She stayed with him for 9 days and shared photos of updates of him continuing to open up to her and her pup Kahlo! She was a great communicator and made sure Sebby had a blast, plus was great with his meds! We will for sure be rebooking!

Elena cared for my blind dog in my home. She was exceptionally good at giving me daily updates & photos of my dog at different stages. I found her trustworthy, friendly & felt she truly loved all animals. My holiday was great because I was confident my dog was cared for. I definitely will call her again & I know my pet will welcome her back.
Deeksha was amazing taking care of our little kitten! She was very responsive, came over to meet him beforehand, and is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable about cats! This made us feel so comfortable in having her housesit with Mochi. We were updated throughout and after, and are definitely going to be booking her again!

This is the second time we’ve used Cris to dog sit. She was very good with our elderly dog, took great care of him, helped him up and down the stairs, and she had great communication with lots of videos/pictures. Highly recommend, would use her services again.

Julie was amazing! She was so kind, and Harley loved her right away. She took him on plenty of walks, his favourite! She gave him all the attention and comfort he needed for his separation anxiety. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend her to anyone!
