About: What truly sets me apart is my background as a rescue pet parent. I understand that not every pet is 'plug and play', some need extra patience, a calm voice, and time to decompress. My experience has taught me how to read subtle body language and handle pets that may be shy, anxious, or have specific triggers. Additionally, as a working professional with a steady 9 to 5, I bring a high level of organization and reliability to my sittings. I am not someone who will flake or show up late; I treat your pet's schedule with the same respect I give my own career. You can expect detailed updates, photos from every walk, and a sitter who is deeply committed to maintaining your pet's existing routine and home security. Pet care is a dedicated part of my morning and evening routine. Because I work a consistent 9 to 5 schedule, I offer highly reliable and 'on the clock' care that pets thrive on. On Weekdays: I am available for early morning walks or check-ins before 8:30 AM, and I am fully dedicated to pet care starting at 5:30 PM for evening walks, feedings, and playtime. For house-sitting clients, your pet will have my full company throughout the evening and overnight. On Weekends: My schedule is completely open! I use Saturdays and Sundays for longer walks, adventure trail visits in the Markham area, and extended playtime. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. When walking or visiting your home, I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked behind me and double-check leashes and harnesses before heading out. I am always vigilant of my surroundings to avoid high-stress situations or unfriendly off-leash dogs. Having cared for a rescue pet, I am very comfortable managing specialized instructions, from strict feeding schedules to administering medication. I believe in clear communication and will provide frequent photo updates and notes so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for in their own comfortable environment. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect and every pet as if they were my own family

About: I've cared for both small and large dogs, from teacup Shih Tzus to German Shepherds. I love going on long walks, playing, and making sure every dog gets plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs! I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of one on one attention to help your pet feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other specific care your pet requires. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I'll also send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands while you're away.

“We had a wonderful experience with Venus! She took phenomenal care of our two senior cats, Dau Dau and Simba. Venus is incredibly responsible, attentive, and communicative. She was so patient with Simba, who can be a bit shy around new people, and gave such sweet, loving attention to Daudau. She went above and beyond by taking lots of amazing photos and keeping us updated every visit, showing how much heart and dedication she puts into her work. Our cats were so happy, relaxed, and well-looked after while we were away. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented, Venus is the absolute best. Thank you so much, Venus!”

“We had a great experience with Vanessa! She stayed in our home for five days and was so kind, sweet, and gentle with our cats. One of our cats is a rescue with a lot of anxiety, so Vanessa was incredibly patient with him and did everything she could to help him feel safe and comfortable. After a couple of days, he started coming out of his shell and even came out to get to know her a little, which meant so much to us. Vanessa was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and sent us lots of updates and photos, which we really appreciated. She took great care of our home and my plants, which was very important for us. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats and our home were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Vanessa and would happily have her stay with our cats again!”

“My husband and I met Dana before we went on our trip where she took care of our cat. What struck us with Dana is her positivity, and her genuine care for animals. She spent 4 days visiting our cat, making sure he has food, water and clean litter box. She was very engaging during her visits and keeping us updated with our cat's wellbeing. We always felt at ease knowing she was there to make sure our cat has everything he needs during our absence. We had a great experience with Dana, and we definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have a caring, enthusiastic and positive pet sitter! My husband and I will always ask for Dana on our future trips to take care of our cat :)”

About: ONLY 1 fur friend each time. Pets are families. They deserve love and care. My mom had a cat, we play, eat, sleep together. He taught me how to enjoy life no matter what you have experienced or experiencing. My friend had a dog, I always go visit. We played and went out for walks often. Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her. Loves hiking when weather permits,5km min. For 🐶 will provide daily walking data so you know how long we walked and how much energy we burned. We will go out for a walk in the morning time, lunch time and dinner time. More short 15-20 potty breaks in between as well. 3 times of walking of 30 min would be by default. On weekends will go hiking with 5km min. I lived in a pet friendly condo and the neighborhood is very quiet to take a walk. There are two community parks nearby to visit. When walking in the neighborhood and condo, will always meet at least 1 or 2 pet friend.

About: Dogs are family! They deserve long walks, belly rubs and play time. I can provide your dog with walks, runs, fun play time or whatever he/she likes when you leave them with me. I love taking long walks and enjoying nature so I believe your dog will love taking walks with me. Also, I make time for relaxing so if your dog does not like being outside, I can plan fun indoor activities for them to enjoy. Putting fun aside, I am a responsible adult who sees safety as very important when dog sitting. Therefore, I will take every measure to ensure that each dog under my supervision will always be in my sight and out of harms way. Overall, I am very passionate and loving towards dogs. P.S. I grew up around dogs ever since I was born. Some breeds that I have taken care of are Shih tzus, Pomeranian mixes, Rottweilers, Pit bulls and German Sheppards. I currently work part time and can adjust my schedule and take on last minute bookings. So far most of my availability is limited to midday or late afternoon. If you require earlier days please do not hesitate to contact me. I want to learn your fur baby’s preference for play and walk to ensure he or she will have the best time ever! I will treat your home with the utmost respect as if it were mine.

About: We are a family with two teens, plus one friendly, goofy Bernese Mountain Dog who would love a playmate for a few days. Archie is almost 9 years old but still has some spunk! He is very friendly and loves company. He gets walked at least twice per day and gets lots of attention from our kids, as would any of our visiting dogs. Our home is three floors with a fenced in backyard, and we live in close proximity to great walking trails. We also have a crate that can be used if your pet prefers to sleep in one. We are experienced and loving dog owners, whose kids regularly ask that we get a second dog. I recently became unemployed but enjoy the company of animals very much and want to take advantage of my time away from the corporate world. Dogs who board with us will enjoy at least two walks a day. Our backyard is fenced, our kids are grown and our dog likes company and walks twice a day. We live on a quiet street near Main St Unionville. Note: we have a swimming pool

I’m a returning customer, and I’m always so happy to have Yuqing take care of my cat! She is incredibly loving, patient, and attentive with cats, and I can really tell that she genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I especially appreciate how thoughtful she is about keeping me updated while I’m away. She always sends lots of photos, which makes me feel reassured and lets me see how my little one is doing. My cat always seems comfortable and happy in her care. I truly appreciate her reliability, kindness, and the genuine love she shows to my cat every time. I’ll definitely continue to book with her whenever I need a cat sitter in the future.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Markham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Markham on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 2,740 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Markham. About 89% of Markham 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,740 sitters in Markham, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Markham 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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. 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. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
