“Wai Ming was very friendly and responsive. He took great care of my dog and followed all the instructions. I would definitely book with him again and recommend him to friends.”
“Angela looked after my cat for 3 days in a row. She was punctual, reliable, responsible and showed genuine love of animals. She was super patient with my 14yr old cat and spent a lot of time brushing her and comforting her. She followed instructions well and my cat did great with her care. Thank you Angela!”
About: I love dogs of all sizes and temperaments and will always treat your pup like my own, complete with tons of photo and video updates! I own an 8yo Shiba and 4yo Samoyed, cared for a senior Shih Tzu, and have fostered reactive dogs. I'm fully comfortable with training routines, medications, recovery care, and raw or specialized diets for any walks or drop-in visits. Let me know and I can follow any routine! I’m currently working from home, so I can definitely do any walks or drop-ins needed with my schedule! Monday to Friday with some weekends can work - just message me or check my calendar! Safety and proper routine are my top priorities. I weight train 3 times a week and have experience walking high-energy puppies up to big husky/spitz breeds. I’m comfortable using any gear or harness setup your dog requires to ensure secure, happy and controlled walks. During drop-ins, I’m happy to follow exact feeding routines, give oral or topical medications, and leave your home secure before I head out.
“Hiu was amazing! She was incredibly patient with our cat Milo and took the time to earn his trust, which meant a lot to us. She was also very flexible with our requests and kept us updated throughout our trip. She also made sure Milo was taking his medication. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and comfort. Highly recommend”
“Selina took wonderful care of my cat while we were away. She kept us updated with videos as well through messages on here. My cat loves her!!! This is the first time I’ve hired pet care through an app, and was a little concerned before I met Selina. She quickly put me at ease.”
“Yee Yan did an amazing job taking care of my cat! She’s super detailed and genuinely concerned about every little thing. With her vet tech background, I know my cat’s in good hands. I’ll definitely rebook her next time.”
About: I will treat your babies as if they were my own, send you lots of pics. I am a reliable, caring person who is trustworthy! Would love to work with you :) I love both cats and dogs and have been caring for animal for over 8 years. I will do my best to make both you and your pet feel at ease under my care. I’m an active person so can take your baby on runs, hikes, outings if you like! We can discuss this further. Please message me if you would like to learn more. I work at the big 5 bank in capital markets so I am professional and a hardworker. I’m family oriented and currently working from home so I will be able to tend to their needs.
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.
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.
“Yu-Sum watched our 3 cats while we were on vacation last week. She was a delight and a big hit with my cats which was a surprise since they are typically shy and take a long time to warm up to strangers. During our vacation, our cat sitter had an emergency at our house and she immediately alerted us and helped handle the situation. She also watered our plants and emptied our pool strainer for us which was super helpful. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Danya was excellent. She took very good care of my cat while I was away and I had zero concerns. She sent daily updates and provided great care. Will use her services again in the future and highly recommended!!”
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: Hi! I’m an experienced pet mom of 5 cats and 2 dogs, and I truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality. I’ve cared for shy, anxious, playful, and high-energy pets, including those who need extra patience and gentle handling. One of my cats is very sensitive and requires special care, so I’m very comfortable working with pets that may take time to warm up. I’m calm, patient, and attentive. I always respect each pet’s pace and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter care, or just quiet companionship, I adapt to what your pet needs. I also enjoy long walks and staying active, so I’m happy to provide quality time and exercise for dogs as well. You can trust that your pets will be treated like family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your pet’s needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I also travel occasionally, but I always keep my calendar updated so you can book with confidence. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully and respect your home and your pet’s routine. I create a calm and stress-free environment, especially for shy or sensitive pets. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood, and I will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I have always been a great dog lover. I have experience taking care of dogs in a doggy day care and volunteering in an animal hospital. I am currently working part-time and have many available hours for dog walking. I have much flexibility and I am free most mornings, afternoons and evenings Safety is my priority.I maintain very small groups of dogs for focused attention and choose routes with minimal traffic. Your pup's well being is very important to me.
“It was so easy to work with Venus, and she and our cat Ryder, got along so well right away. She communicates well, sends videos and photos, is very accommodating and you can just feel her love towards Ryder. Highly recommended. Thanks again and we'll be in touch for next time.”
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
“As a nervous pet-parent, I couldn’t be more blessed to have found Vanessa to look after my dog when I’m away. Her impressive experience and love of animals showed during our meet and greet and when she looked after our little guy. He adores her! I’ve already rebooked her for our next trip away and I’m reassured having her look after him.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Markham is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Markham
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!
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.
Karine and Howard have been very pleasant to deal with and didn’t mind that I was a bit nervous leaving my senior cat behind. Haha. They interacted well with my cat to work on bonding with him, so I’m happy to have them help out the next time I need to a sitter.
She took very good care of our cat and followed all of our instructions while we were on vacation. She always responded very quickly when we contacted her and gave us many updates and photos. Our cat was happy and seemed to be very comfortable with her ! I would highly recommend Wing Shan for pet sitting services
