About: In my cozy home, cats find a haven of care and comfort. My three-year-old tabby, whiskers twitching with excitement, watches as new feline friends explore the spacious play area. With two cat trees, water fountains, and countless toys, my home is a paradise for cats. I ensure daily litter box cleaning and spotless dishes, making every cat feel at home. Working from home allows me to shower my furry guests with love and attention all day. Trusted by friends and adored by cats, I take pride in providing the perfect cat boarding experience. Working from home, I provide constant attention, clean litter boxes, refresh food and water, and ensure playtime. Weekly, I deep clean and rotate toys, creating a clean, comfortable, and engaging environment for cats in my care. My home has cameras for constant monitoring, and I provide regular updates with photos and videos. Working from home allows me to give them constant supervision and affection.
About: I specialize in caring for friendly, calm, and well-mannered dogs in a quiet home environment and beautiful, low traffic neighborhoods. We don’t have pet and your pet will be the ONLY VIP guest in my home. No stress from other dogs, 100% focused attention. My approach is built on reliability and structure: • Routine Consistency: We strictly follow your feeding schedules, and potty breaks to minimize anxiety and house training accidents. • Safety First: Walks are always leash-secure and planned around quieter, low-traffic routes in our immediate neighborhood. My priority is preventing incidents, not reacting to them. • Clear Communication: You will receive detailed photo and written updates daily, covering their mood, appetite, and activity level. I’m a part-time graduate student. So I’m home most of the time. I also have a car and can drive to places needed. Here are the key blocks: • Mornings (7-1 PM): Structured walk, meal prep, and supervised rest during my focus work/study hours. • Afternoons (1-5 PM): Potty breaks, and active companionship from my partner and me. • Evenings (5 PM On): Dinner, a longer structured walk, and quiet wind-down time before bed. In short: Your dog receives attentive care. Consistency and safety are our priorities. Me and my partner live in a house without pets. Unlike sitters who manage multiple dogs from different homes, I limit bookings to one family's pet at a time, ensuring 100% focused attention and minimizing external unsafe factors. Although I have a fenced backyard, for maximum safety and security, I do NOT leave dogs unsupervised in the backyard. All outdoor time consists of active, leashed walks in our beautiful, quiet neighborhood. This ensures zero risk of escape and keeps your pup clean and safe.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I have experience with dogs, and cats! I understand the needs of different pets and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits into my routine really well because I enjoy being around animals. I recently graduated from high school so I have more availability and flexibility. I’m able to plan my days around pet visits and walks. I always make sure I give each pet the time and attention they need. I like the structure it brings to my day, and caring for animals honestly never feels like a chore, it’s something I enjoy doing! When I’m house sitting, I treat your home and pets with the utmost care and respect. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I make sure they get their usual routines like feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. I keep the environment clean and secure.
“I can't say enough good things about our experience with Wai Kiu. From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely care for animals. She was incredibly professional, reliable, and attentive to every detail of our pet’s routine. Our Only Cat "kai", who can be a bit shy around new people, warmed up to them almost immediately—which says a lot! We received regular updates, photos, and even a few sweet notes about how the day went, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief to know our pet KAI was in such loving and capable hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Wai Kui again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
About: I have experience caring for cats, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own space, and I’d be happy to help look after your furry friends. I’m also comfortable doing nail trims, though I wouldn’t recommend it until your cat feels fully at ease with me — it’s always their choice. I’m working full time in Scarborough so My availability is after 5 PM on weekdays, and I’m flexible on weekends. Let me know what works for you! In my client’s home, I make sure to follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and safe in their own space. This includes feeding, fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving them attention if they’re open to it. I’m always patient. If they prefer their space, I respect that too. I also keep the area tidy and send their cute moment to the owner.

About: Mira - I have owned my own pets at a young age from fishes to pocket pets and dogs, ranging from small to large breeds. I graduated in the Animal Care program and currently work as a Vet Assistant at an animal hospital where I work with both cats and dogs and handle emergency to non-urgent cases.I have a good understanding of pets needs (i.e. caring for senior pets, medical concerns, specialized diet, etc.) I used to do dog walking as well. Charles and I are both pet lovers on top of my own experiences. Mira works 8hr shifts on the weekdays and is usually free on weekends. Charles is a nurse and does shift work, so he is available weekdays and weekends depending on his schedule. We do try our best to make our schedule work with your pet but there may be times where your pet may have to be alone for 8hrs due to our work schedule. If a drop off or pick up is needed, please let us know so we can arrange something! Your pets comfort and safety is our number one priority. We currently live in a large one bedroom apartment with no pets. Although we don’t have a backyard, we enjoy one on one time with the pet we’re caring for and will always try to bring them on mini supervised adventures (mainly walks on trails unless the owner specifies something different!) Ideally we don’t allow dogs to meet with other dogs unless specified. We take care of one pet at a time unless from the same household. If you would like to meet in person beforehand to make sure your pet and us are a good fit, feel free to message us for arrangements.

“Crystal did a fantastic job dropping in on Smokey while I was out of province for a week. Smokey is diebetic and requires insulin injections daily, Crystal handled it like a pro! It's always stressful leaving my boy for any length of time but I wouldn't hesitate to have Crystal look after him again. Polite, courteous and responsible, what more could you ask for.”

About: « Where every cat feels st home » Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been drawn to their gentle nature, expressive eyes, and the special companionship they bring. Over the years, I’ve rescued, fostered, adopted and supported more than 15 cats, through both short- and long-term care. As a rescue volunteer, I’ve helped feed stray cats and supported Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) to give community cats a healthier life. After moving to Toronto, I also became a foster volunteer, providing cats with a safe place to stay, patience and lots of love while helping them adjust to people and find their forever homes. 🏠 Rocky was my “foster fail.” ❤️ He came from Egypt, and from the moment we met, there was a connection I can’t really explain. I ended up keeping him—and later caring for him through a very difficult time, giving him 100 days of medication and watching him grow from 2 kg to 4.6 kg. Today, he is my little shadow and my lifelong companion. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine and comfort level. My goal at Rocky-a-bye Cat Villa is to give every guest the same patience, respect and love I would want for my own cat. I work during the day, and cats have a quiet, private space to relax and feel secure while I’m away. After work, I’m home to give them plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, cuddles and care. I follow each cat’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and settled during their stay. ❤️ I provide a clean, calm and safe home environment where each cat can settle in comfortably. Depending on their personality and their family’s preference, they can have their own private space or gradually spend time with Rocky. I always respect their comfort level and keep them supervised when together.

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
