About: Hey I’m Charmaine ♡ I’ve had years of experience taking care of dogs. I love playing with dogs and taking them out for walks. My friends/neighbours have trusted me to take care of their pets when they’re busy. I work from home during the weekdays, so I’m usually available throughout the day. Feel free to message me if you’re ever looking for someone to care for your pups for the day/overnight - I’d be happy to help! 😊 I have a friendly pup of my own who is sweet, calm, and easygoing. She loves meeting and socializing with other dogs, and she’ll be happy to keep your pups company during their stay. 🐶💕
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly very nervous about leaving my cats in someone else's care. But Danya was absolutely wonderful and made the whole experience so reassuring! She took amazing care of our cats—spending time with them, keeping their routine, and sending regular updates and photos that really helped put my mind at ease. The updates were so detailed and my family and I looked forward to every one of them! The pictures she sent were the best! It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them with so much kindness and attention. I’m so grateful to have found Danya and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“We had a great experience with Wai Ming, who looked after our cat, Loki, while we were away. Communication was great and we felt comfortable trusting Wai Ming to care for Loki.”
“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.”
“It was a pleasure having Niroji watch Milo and Teddy. The updates throughout the evening were fantastic. The fact she was available to help us out was great as it was very last minute. We will most definitely not hesitate to have her sit for us again. A wonderful experience all around. thank you Steve Morin”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“Wing Shan is super responsive and helpful during last minute drop-in requests. She understands details left for her to care for my kitties :) Please support her and you won’t be disappointed ;)”
About: I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Even though I don’t currently have my own pet, I have always been the person my friends trust to watch their pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors. I usually go for walks during the day, so taking a dog for a walk or visiting a pet fits perfectly into my schedule I am patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every pet like my own.💗
“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.”
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: 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: Hello! I’m Seray! I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for a very long time. Although I possess years of experience and skill taking care of cats, I work at a shelter where I deal with all types of dogs. I bring lots of medical and training knowledge as a supervisor at an animal shelter. If you need someone to administer medication to your animal, keep them company, walk them or train your new pet, I will be glad to help! On my days off (usually weekdays) or when I am back from work; I’m glad to provide care for your pets. Usually early mornings or late evenings, feel free to message me for other times. I always recommend crate training to dog owners and a safe space for cats to frequent in emergency situations. Training your pet to gather at a muster point is so beneficial. I always pet proof and remove garbage, food and chemicals away from surfaces they can access. I also avoid giving dogs bones without supervision as it can cause choking or dental fractures. I always keep the door closed and am very careful with door routine. I always provide a detailed report of the walk at the end of the shift in addition to stool score and medical concerns.
“Christy was absolutely amazing! She followed every single instruction very carefully and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She took such great care of my cat and was very attentive and responsible throughout. I could tell my cat was comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciate her effort and kindness — I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: I've been boarding dogs in my home for over a year, welcoming everything from gentle giants like Samoyeds, Alaskan Malamutes, Huskies, and Cane Corsos to sweet little Shih Tzus, Malteses, and Miniature Poodles. Big or small, every dog gets the same warmth, attention, and care — my home is their home. I also have experience with cat drop-in visits, stopping by to feed, play, and tidy up so your cat stays happy and comfortable in their own familiar space. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love all kinds of animals and take the time to learn each pet's personality and routine. You can count on me to treat your furry family member like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine as a university student who studies from home. Most days I'm around the house, which means your pet always has company and attention throughout the day. My only full days away are Tuesdays and Fridays, when I have on-campus lectures from around 8 AM to 6 PM, but the house is never left empty. My household members are experienced with pets and are always home to ensure your furry friend is looked after, comfortable, and never alone. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have morning lectures, so I'm back home around 3 PM. Thursdays and weekends I'm completely free and fully available. My home is a safe, spacious, and welcoming environment for pets of all sizes. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can run, explore, and burn off energy with peace of mind. I also share my home with a friendly cat, when boarding larger dogs she's completely comfortable keeping to herself upstairs, so there's no stress for either animal. Most importantly, I believe every pet thrives best when their routine stays as close to normal as possible. I'm happy to follow your feeding schedule, walking habits, house rules, or any other preferences you have. Whatever helps your pet feel at home.
About: I have been a cat lover since I was young and grew up in a home filled with cats. I treat every cat like family and always try to make them feel safe, happy and completely at home. I provide a private room with window, cat trees and cat supplies so your cat can relax in a calm, safe, and stress-free space. Also, I'm currently learning photography. I will capture some sweet and fun moments and share them with you. I currently only accept cats who are up to date on their vaccinations and have been spayed or neutered. I speak English, 廣東話, 普通话, so feel free to reach out to me in whichever language is most comfortable for you. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily follow your cat's usual feeding times and routines. Whether they are used to being fed twice or three times a day, I am happy to keep them on their normal schedule to make them feel as comfortable as possible. My home is fully set up for cats, with cat trees, cozy beds, and plenty of toys for them to play, climb, and relax. It is a safe and fun environment where they can feel right at home. I provide a private room with window, cat trees and cat supplies so your cat can relax in a calm, safe, and stress-free space. To keep everything clean and safe, I use only pet-friendly cleaning products and make sure to tidy up daily, giving your cat a comfortable and worry-free space to enjoy. Your cat will have their own little cozy world here!

Markham cat parents share their Rover experiences
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.
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
Yuqing was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my two cats during our vacation. She was very responsible and attentive at every visit — always making sure to clean the litter box, change food bowls, refill water, and spend time playing with them. She also carefully observed their behaviour and promptly updated me on how they were doing. I especially appreciated the adorable photo updates — more than 25 pictures each time! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cats were in such caring hands. Highly recommended!
