“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!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Rosalia! We’ve relied on her multiple times for drop-in visits, including walks, playtime, and feeding, and both our dogs absolutely love her. Rosalia is incredibly reliable and always keeps us updated with clear communication. She meticulously follows instructions specific to our pets, ensuring they are well-cared for and happy. We highly recommend Rosalia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter!”
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!
“We absolutely had the best person looking after our 2 kitties. Sarah updated us after every visit, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away on vacation. I will recommend her to every pet parent I know. Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Monika is excellent with my new puppy. She is more knowledgeable about puppy training than I am and is working with Riley on all sorts of behaviours and commands. She is caring and reliable and I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Shawn took amazing care if our sweet Ollie. She sent many photos of Ollie and lots of updates on the things and places they went. We could tell Ollie was well looked after with Shawn and felt comfortable leaving him in her care. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next week have to leave Ollie home.”

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.

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.
“Rossana was great taking care of our fur babies. I was so relieved to know that they were fed and accompanied while I was away. I received daily updates, complete with photos and detailed notes, which gave me great peace of mind. From the initial meeting, it was clear that she had a genuine love for cats and a professional approach to pet sitting. I highly recommend Rossana to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional cat sitter”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Etobicoke
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!
Solmaz was wonderful! She cared for my cat so well I couldn’t have asked for anything more! She did check in’s for me three times a day- for feeding and litter box cleaning. She played with my Stormie and brushed her too! She communicated so well and always sent pictures and videos! My cat is shy but took so well to Solmaz! I recommend her service and will use again! Thank you again for everything- you left me with peace of mind!
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.
