“Naomi is a cat whisperer! We were so impressed with how she connected with our one shy and nervous kitty. Naomi is incredibly professional and detail orientated! She sent wonderful video's of both our girls which put us at ease while we were away. It was really nice to know they were being cared for so well! It is also nice to know we can count on Naomi while we are away:)”
“Abhay was super reliable. He showed up on time for every scheduled visit and reported on each one. Took great care of our furbaby Callie with food, water, litter care and licky treats each visit. I wish Callie would have been more open to pats and brushes, but that is likely just her aloof temperment, not for lack of trying on Abhay's part. Thanks for bringing in our mail too! I would not hesitate to use Abhay again!”
“Rosalia was fantastic with my girl, Vixen! She is the anxious kitty (and pet parent) cat whisperer. Vixen warmed up to her almost immediately (she normally shies away from everyone) which put me at ease. Rosalia went above & beyond, bringing in mail & gifts, and even helped when one of my home cameras stopped working. She took such great care of my fur baby and it made my vacation so much more relaxing and enjoyable knowing she was in great hands. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Leticia was great - reliable, attentive, and clearly very comfortable with my cat. Each drop-in was right on time, and I loved getting photo updates that showed my cat relaxed, happy, and well cared for. Leticia took the time to refresh food and water, cuddled with my cat and even tidied up around his space. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my cat was in such good hands. I’d absolutely book with Leticia again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter!”
About: I've had pets all my life, I love them as part of my family! At the moment me and the kiddos have 2 dogs and a puppy, all rescues, that we love! I am currently working part time and my schedule is flexible. Im available before or after work or anytime nights, on my days off or weekends! I have a genuine love for pets (have 2 cats and a puppy myself) so I know how important it is to have peace of mind and that they are taken care of when we are away. Will try my very best
About: @dogodogocan With 7+ years in pet care, I’ve got your furry friends covered! From playful pups to sweet seniors, I offer personalized love and expert handling. My animal behavior skills ensure your pet gets the best care, whether it’s fun playtime or gentle walks. Choose me for a trusted and awesome pet-sitting experience! Working from home means your pet gets all-day attention, timely walks, and lots of playtime! My flexible schedule allows for frequent check-ins and personalized care, so your furry friend feels loved and comfy while you're away. When providing dog boarding services in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for your pet. I ensure a welcoming space with cozy sleeping areas, engaging toys, and secure, fenced outdoor areas for play and exercise. Your dog will enjoy regular walks, play sessions, and cuddle time, all tailored to their needs and preferences. I maintain a structured routine to provide consistency, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special care instructions you provide. My goal is to make your dog feel like a part of the family, offering a loving home away from home.
About: We are at pet-loving family, with a large fenced in yard and flexible work-from home schedules, ready to help you with your dog boarding needs. We have two senior cats (who keep to themselves) and a rescue pup Finn who is almost 3! As a husband-and-wife team, we have both had pets our entire lives, and have been caring for our own pets together for over 12 years. We also have Red Cross Pet First Aid certification. Dogs who come to stay with us will have freedom to roam our house if it suits them, or they can use our crate. We go on several walks a day and have a large fenced yard for play. We also provide pet treats (if allowed). If we are coming to your house to provide cat visits and care, we will scoop the litter, freshen water and food, and play with your feline friend. If your cat likes to be brushed, we will also do that. Ask us any questions you need, or even come by our home to check us out before committing. Coffee (and maybe a cookie) included. We are a husband and wife team who both have flexible work-from-home schedules (and both of our offices are a short drive away). We love out pets, we're active and love going for walks, and our beautiful large fenced yard is a dog's dream. In our home, we welcome client's dogs to wander freely, unless our client has a crate routine. We do have a large crate that our guests are welcome to use while here. We walk our own dog 3-4 times a day, and also have several free-run sessions in our fenced yard with plenty of toys. NIght times, we wind down with some TV and lots of pets and cuddles before letting our dog and our guests settle where they feel comfortable (even if it's our bed). We have two mature teenage daughters who are a great help as well.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I grew up with dogs and truly adore dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently have two senior dogs who I adopted when they were four years old, so I understand how important it is to have someone patient, loving, and attentive looking after your pets. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and have experience with dogs who can be nervous, sensitive, or reactive. My love for animals goes beyond dogs—I’ve also cared for cats, bunnies, fish, and reptiles. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Spending time with animals genuinely makes me happy, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and affection I give my own. Please feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🐾 Im available Mon-Fri between 930-230 I am a stay at home mom and would love to fill my day with looking after your beloved pet I provide lots of love for your pet! I will do my best to make sure they have the best time and will share photos and videos if you would like
About: I have over 4 years of hands-on experience caring for pets and a genuine love for animals, especially cats. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where cats can feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving each cat the attention they need based on their personality. Whether your cat is playful or shy, I’m patient and attentive to make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times. I specialize in cat care and understand how important routine and a low-stress environment are for them. My home is quiet and ideal for cats who prefer a peaceful space. I make sure each cat has their own comfortable area, clean litter, fresh food and water, and daily interaction. I’m attentive to behavior changes and can follow any specific instructions you provide, including dietary needs or medication if required. Your cat will be treated with love, patience, and respect—just like my own. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give your cat consistent care and attention throughout the day. I can accommodate different routines and make sure your cat is never left alone for long periods.
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Snowy, while we were away for a few days. It made us so happy to see Snowy getting along so well with her and continuing with his regular diet and routine. Vanessa was easy to communicate with, trustworthy, caring, and clearly experienced with cats. We felt completely comfortable knowing Snowy was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Vanessa and would be happy to have her look after Snowy again!”
“Chrissy is fantastic! She was able to save me in a bind and come by last minute. we didn’t get the change to do a meet and greet first, but she came in blind, and it still went perfectly and the dogs loved her!”
About: I provide calm, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs, with experience in owning cats, dogs and birds throughout my life. I currently have a rescued Croatian Sheepdog named Cassie. Cassie was rescued from an abusive environment when she was 2 so I have experience in calming and caring for anxious rescue dogs. I’ve had Cassie for almost 7 years now and it’s been incredible watching her become confident and truly just being a dog. I'm a professional soccer player, and the discipline, patience, and teamwork that come with the game are exactly what I bring to pet care. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I'm now starting the next chapter of my career in animal care. Through Karen Pryor Academy I'm studying Dog Training Foundations with hopes to becoming a certified dog trainer, and working with Rover is helping me gain hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments. Whether your dog is shy, excitable, or somewhere in between, I'll treat them with patience, positive reinforcement, and lots of exercise. Right now I’m staying at my mom’s house in the inner suburbs of Toronto with a fenced backyard and park across the street for a perfect environment for walking dogs.

About: I’ve been a pet sitter with Rover for 3 years. During that time, I have had the pleasure to care for over 50+ pets.

My previous clients will attest that the care I provide for their pets is exceptional. I am friendly, reliable, and I take the well being of your pet very seriously. I work from home full time, Monday to Friday. I live in a very dog friendly neighbourhood, so caring for your pet will be seamless. I will always prioritized the pet’s care over my own social and personal schedule, when I am looking after them. I will follow any and all instructions that you may have for your pet. This includes keeping them on leash, not letting them outside while unsupervised, and/or at all if they are an indoor cat, sticking to whatever feeding schedule you have, and providing any medication that they might need. I have done extensive dog training in the past as I had an aggressive dog, he was a rescue, and so I really know my way around proper dog etiquette. I provide daily updates/checkins to help put your mind at ease.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Etobicoke
Setayesh has such a warm, friendly energy, and I felt comfortable trusting her with Tony from the start. She came over beforehand to go through his care routine and get to know him, and even stayed a little longer during her visits to keep him company. She carefully followed all my instructions for his wet and dry food. The photos she sent really put my mind at ease knowing he was doing well while I was away. I really appreciated the extra time and care she gave him and would happily book her again! ❤️
Laura did a wonderful job taking care of our cat! She followed all instructions carefully, spent time playing with our cat, and made sure everything was taken care of. We had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend Laura to other pet owners. Thank you, Laura!
We’re so happy we found Julia to look after our two cats while we were away 🥰 She was caring, and attentive and kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend! 🐾
Leaving our four cats for our three week honeymoon was the part I was most worried about, but Tatyana completely exceeded our expectations and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent thoughtful updates and lotssss of photos and videos after every visit, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about each of our cats and took the time to get to know their different personalities. She also took amazing care of our home, and everything was spotless when we got back. Knowing our cats were happy, safe, and so well cared for meant we could fully enjoy our trip. If you’re looking for someone who’s kind, reliable, communicative, and truly loves animals, I can’t recommend Tatyana enough!! We’ll absolutely be reaching out to Tatyana again for future trips.
Mariia is so lovely! She is very sweet and has proven to be such a reliable and loving cat-sitter. Our kitty Lola is very shy and didn't take long to warm up to her. She is so thoughtful and brought in our packages as well, which we really appreciated. We will definitely hire her again. 😊
We had a great experience with Heather! She was reliable, communicative, and took excellent care of our cats while we were away. She was very attentive to their needs and always responded to messages quickly. We especially appreciated how quickly she got to know each of our cats’ personalities and included little details about them in her updates. The regular updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also left everything clean and tidy. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with Heather again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Joana took such great care of our cat while we were away for a couple weeks! She communicated with us consistently and shared many pictures which was much appreciated. Our cat is very shy so we were impressed with how quickly he warmed up to her which is a testament to how amazing the experience was. On top of everything, Joana kept the area free of litter which was a big plus when we came back. We can’t recommend Joana enough and will certainly book with her again next time we are away ☺️ thank you Joana!
Deeksha was responsive and accommodating with our last-minute holiday booking. She took excellent care of our cat Karma and sent videos along with the photos and updates showing our girl was happy and doing well. Deeksha was respectful of our space, was detailed and thorough in our cat's care, was incredibly kind to us, and made being away far less stressful as we knew our cat was in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Etobicoke is $26 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 7,244 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
