“Victoria has been extraordinary in taking care of our two cats while we were out of the country for an extended period of time. We really appreciate her commitment and attention to detail. She has also been incredibly flexible and accommodating when an emergency situation came up, and we are so grateful she was there to help. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Thank you so much to Michelle for checking in with my cat! It gave me peace of mind knowing that things were going smoothly while I was out of town. My cat is not a big fan of strangers, but I could tell right away that she was comfortable around Michelle.”
About: If the dogs or cats want to take my chair or bed, I the type of person who would sit or sleep somewhere else. As a former researcher, I would always try to understand animals behavior in a scientific way, and of course in a loving way. I love a clean and tidy space. I work from home and with no family around, so your pet would become my best friend. I work from home and do lots of walking everyday, so all the pet's need can be taken care of nicely. I take at least two walks everyday, stay the rest of time at home working, that's why I'm capable of pet care. And most importantly, I love pets. I can care the pets in the way he was cared at home. I have a cat and lots of energy to take the dog on a walk, and the flexibility to meet the dog's need.
“Another wonderful visit from Daniela after my cat had just had surgery. She was very careful and ensured he received his pain meds on time as I had to go out of town for a night shortly after. She’s absolutely wonderful, I’m so happy I came across her profile last summer. She’s my go to for my little senior fur babies whenever they need a check in, or any time my pup needs a walk! Thanks again Daniela for a wonderful experience - my fur babies adore you!”
“Rayane did a wonderful job looking after my cats! Both of them loved her, even though one is usually really shy. She provided lots of updates and nice photos which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!”
“Britney was incredible with our furr-babies! She kept us up to date with how our cats were doing, and let us know if there were any changes in their behaviour. We would highly recommend Britney! Our cats loved her! Evidence from their daily report cards!”
“Many Thanks to Dave for taking the time for his drop by visit for Marley... She truly took to you Dave... I think she remembers you from all that time ago when she was a tiny pup! Until next time :)”
“Ruomai took such great care of our cats over the weekend! They were doing great when we got home and I really appreciated her giving them so much attention and sending us photos and updates! They are looking forward to seeing her again in a few weeks and we will certainly use ruomai’s services going forward! ❤️”
“This was our first time leaving our fur babies and using Rover. We met Sarah before our trip and introduced her to Ollie & Oscar kitties. They took very well to her. She maintained the house and litter box and fed them with care in our absence. We received daily picture and video updates which made us so happy and could tell that they were really warming up to her. I cannot recommend Sarah enough! THANK YOU 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Jennifer looked after our 2 kitties while we were on a quick weekend getaway. One of our girls is a 16 year old sweetheart that needs medication. Jennifer was absolutely fantastic. Her communication was top notch and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing that they were in good hands. We loved the pictures! We would absolutely recommend Jennifer and will be booking her for any future visits!”
“Shannon is a great dog sitter! I have three barky dogs that can be nervous around new people. They warmed up quickly to Shannon during the meet and greet and didn't bark at all when she arrived for her first check in. I feel very comfortable having Shannon take care of my precious pups and will definitely hire her again.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, and most of my experience comes from caring for my own pets. Over the years, I’ve had Cocker Spaniels, Poodles, Labradors, Dachshunds, Shih Tzus, parrots, birds, and turtles, and I’ve also looked after my neighbors’ cats. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs and dogs with disabilities, and I always treat every pet with patience, love, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. Even though I work full time, I’m organized and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my home. I am located 1 min away from Maclean Park, which offers great walking trails and a dog park for exercise and outdoor enrichment. I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. My goal is to make every pet feel at home, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I currently look after a senior dog who requires scheduled pee breaks, support with mobility, and two easy going snuggly cats. My experience includes short-term and long stay with both mixed pet homes and single pet homes. Cat care included feeding schedules, litter cleaning, and plenty of lap time. I am comfortable with senior pets, pets with medical needs, and busy multi-pet households. I prioritize routine and attention to their wants. I work online with a deeply flexible schedule, I can interrupte what I do at any moment. Caring for your pets is my privilege and joy. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routine exactly as you set it. I’m a long-time homeowner myself, and I treat your space with the same respect and care I expected in mine. Clear routines & structure • I follow your schedule for feeding, walks, medications, movement support, and bedtime routines. • I confirm details like coat/boot use, leash type, walk length, and whether your dog needs structured play or a run. • I maintain established routines between multiple pets, including safe feeding order and supervised interactions. Home safety & respect • No guests ever enter your home. • I am a quiet, low-impact presence. • Doors are locked, areas of the house you specify are avoided, and I follow your nighttime routine for pee breaks and house security. • I tidy as I go and leave your home as I found it. Pet-specific care details • I confirm treat limits, what behaviour they’re used for, and any food or item that must remain inaccessible. • I ask about any recent food changes, sensitivities, or mobility concerns. • I monitor subtle changes—energy, appetite, bathroom habits—and communicate anything noteworthy. Cleanliness & preparedness • I ask where cleaning supplies, vacuums, or mops are kept in case of spills or accidents. • Litter, food areas, water bowls, and pet spaces are kept clean and consistent. Communication & emergencies • I provide daily updates and will clarify any instruction necessary to ensure accuracy. • I follow your emergency plan, including your preferred veterinarian. • Cameras, alarms, or home-specific systems are respected exactly as directed. My goal is simple: your pets feel secure, your home is respected, and your instructions are followed with precision.
“Cortney was amazing with my cat, Archie! She was always on time, spent extra time playing with him, and made sure he got plenty of treats and attention. She sent lots of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Archie was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely book with Cortney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Aparna helped us out when our other sitter cancelled last minute she was responsive and very helpful. Aparna did a drop in with our pups and made sure they got what they needed while we were out. Looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”
About: I am an avid animal lover who as a kid and well still as an adult would love to have a rescue centre. I have had animals from the time I was a newborn. I have rescued animals, nursed them back to health and found great homes, with a couple fails where ive kept them! Animals to me are more than that, they are family. Which is why I treat all animals like they are my own just as I would with kids. I have experienced with several different breeds of dogs small and large, and experience with all ages from tiny and cute to older. I very much enjoy getting out and walking and hiking or going to a field or park and playing fetch. I love spending time with animals, when im not working you can find me hanging out with all my fur friends. Currently Im available full time on Sundays and Mondays and most Saturdays. And before and after work Tuesdays - Thursdays. When entering a clients home I always ensure it is in the same state as I would leave my own. I will always give fresh water, feed at the appropriate times and spoil with treats if allowed. I have no issues picking up after the pets go to the washroom. My top priority is making sure your animal is safe and secure and content in your absence.

This was our first time using Victoria, and she was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Sasha. Sasha can be a bit quirky, but Victoria read her cues perfectly and let her get comfortable at her own pace. She sent cute photo updates every day, was highly reliable, and maintained great communication throughout the entire booking. I would recommend her to anyone and will hire her again with absolutely no hesitation! Thank you Victoria, 5/5 stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.
Cortney was amazing with my cat, Archie! She was always on time, spent extra time playing with him, and made sure he got plenty of treats and attention. She sent lots of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Archie was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely book with Cortney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Wei-Chien is amazing and we are truly going to miss having her take care of our cats in the future since she is moving 😭. She is so reliable and detailed in her reports you have the best peace of mind that your family is being cared for while you are away. You cannot go wrong with Wei-Chien!
Piper has looked after our Maggie several times, and we always feel comfortable knowing she is in such caring and reliable hands. She genuinely cares about Maggie and is always offering to do extra things around the house. On our most recent trip, she checked on Maggie twice a day. On the last night, just as she was about to leave, our smoke detectors started going off. Even though we were not answering because I was away from my phone, Piper stayed well past her scheduled time and kept trying to reach us until we were able to connect and resolve the situation. We are so grateful for her patience, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend Piper! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We keep coming back to Faryn for a reason! She's looked after our cats several times now and is always fantastic. The updates and photos she sends are a real highlight, you can tell she genuinely loves the animals in her care. We always come home to happy, relaxed cats. Couldn't recommend her more! :)
Sandra is an amazing and attentive cat-favourite! She looks after my 2, particularly energetic and anxious, cats (who love her) while I’m away and gives me such peace of mind. My cats are nearly identical, but only one gets medication, and with Sandra I never have to worry about them being given to the wrong one.
Joy was incredible! Very observant and relayed any notes in the daily reports and always had my girls' best interests at heart. Joy also handled unexpected hiccups (a furball and a temp control alarm going off) with grace and initiative. An absolute delight of a sitter, I couldn't trust my cats with anyone better.
Going on vacation honestly isn’t my favourite thing in the world particularly because of all the alone time it creates for my cat. However, the daily check-ins by Jennifer are the next best thing to me being home. I feel very relieved every time I get notified about one of Jennifer’s check-ins, and the photos she sends are priceless—it doesn’t take Jennifer long to figure out a cat’s favourite places and things. I feel very fortunate to have someone who works as an RVT adding care for my cat to her busy day.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
