“Naomi is wonderful!! This is the first time we have gone on vacation and had to leave our 2 cats at home. Naomi came in and made us feel comfortable right away. She took the time to understand their routine and connected with the cats quickly. Pictures and videos were sent daily, while we were away, which put our minds at ease. We will definitely use Naomi’s services again! Thanks so much for taking good care of our boys!!!”

“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!”

About: Hi! I’m Tara 😊 I live in Etobicoke with my husband and our 2.5-year-old Golden Retriever, Hudson. We both work from home, so your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and we’re also close to great walking trails for daily exercise. Hudson is very friendly and loves other dogs, but he’s still young and can be quite playful and excitable. Because of this, we’re best suited for dogs who enjoy playtime and socializing. We always arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable and a good match. We’ll treat your dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away 🤍 I work from home and have a fenced backyard. I have great trails nearby and will take your dog on a morning, lunchtime and evening walk. I’m really attentive with all animals that are in my care. I also have a fenced garden, so I’m able to let your dog outside for fresh air knowing that he or she is secure!

“Sofia is hands-down the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! She looked after our two cats, Tigger and Shona, and we couldn't be happier. From the very first update, it was clear she truly understands cat personalities—she managed to win over our shy one and kept our high-energy one entertained. We received regular photos and updates, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Sofia is professional, reliable, and clearly an animal lover. Tigger and Shona are already looking forward to her next visit!”

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.

About: I have had dogs sinced 2010. Currently we have a 15 year old husky who is still quite playful outside but spends most of the day sleeping due to advanced age. We are used to frequent walks and don't mind loud singers 😁 I have Sundays and Mondays off and my husband only works part-time from home so someone is home most of the time and we are pretty flexible. I have a fenced backyard, a human- and dog-friendly Husky to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if you prefer. We have a home where they will be comfortable. We can send you pictures daily so you know your baby is safe.

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. I have been through extensive dog training with my previous pets, and I have mastered quite a few techniques. I have experience with aggressive dogs - having had one myself, and I confident in my abilities to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your pet. 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.

I highly recommend Rossana to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional cat sitter”

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.

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.

Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. 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.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a 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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

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, 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.
