About: Hi everyone! I am available for dog boarding, walking and pet drop-in visits. I love animals and enjoy spending time with dogs. If you're busy at work, away for the day, or heading out of town, I’d be happy to help check in on your pets, take dogs for walks, provide a hotel and make sure they're getting attention and care. I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, keeping them company, feeding them on schedule, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy being active and having a furry companion around. I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care in a quiet, calm, and friendly neighbourhood. I have a friendly Corgi who can keep your pet company, if they enjoy having a companion. I also go for daily walks and would be happy to include your dog in our walks, depending on their routine and comfort level. I make sure every pet receives plenty of exercise, attention, companionship, and affection while following their usual feeding and care routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Kenneth was incredible to deal with and very accommodating to our last minute request, due to a family emergency. Our pups were well loved and taken care of by Kenneth. He is an excellent communicator and sent plenty of pictures and video. I would not hesitate to refer Kenneth to anyone looking for someone as compassionate to trust your fur babies with. Thank you so much Kenneth!!”
“Our family was away for 3 weeks, and it was such a relief to know Louie was in such good hands. We really appreciated the regular photo updates while we were away. Seeing him looking comfortable and relaxed in every update gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that Louie was getting lots of attention and care during his stay. Thank you for taking good care of Louie. We would definitely book with you again and highly recommend you to others!”
“I can’t recommend Jeff enough! He was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. Luke was happy, well cared for, and relaxed when I returned. Jeff kept me updated and followed all instructions perfectly. Will 100% book again.”
“I had a great experience with Jennifer taking care of my two dogs for a weekend. We had a meet and greet a month before and it went really well. Drop off was easy and she even brought down a trolly to use to take the girls things up. I was super impressed by the number of updates including photos and a few videos. She made me feel comfortable and my two dogs became relaxed within a few hours. She walked them 3-4 times a day and even looked after one of my dogs who had an inflamed ear. This is my first experience leaving my girls with a stranger and I have to say that Jennifer and Yulin created a very welcomed and relaxed experence. I didnt know how my girls would do so I was naturally anxious but that floated away after a few hours. Such a fabulous experience and I would highly recommend Jennifer and Yulin.”
“Maria is wonderful! She watched our dog for 5 days while we were away and sent many pictures and updates. Mipha came home happy and pooped! We are very grateful to have found someone so close by who can take such wonderful care of our dog!”
“Masako was great! It was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter, and she really eased our worries with easy communication and daily updates with photos. Our dog was very relaxed and happy when we reunited, and we are so thankful that everything went so smoothly. Thank you again, Masako!”
“Shirley was an amazing host to Finn! She provided so many wonderful updates throughout the stay and took her on many walks. She was extremely easy to communicate snd coordinate and we look forward to booking with her again soon!”
“My dog was so well cared for this past week! This family went above and beyond to keep me updated about how he was doing and I felt so reassured knowing he was in such wonderful care. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Our dog Kallie had a great stay! She was attentive and kept us updated the whole time, which we really appreciated. The entire process was smooth from start to finish. We’d definitely book with her again.”
“I am very happy we found Patricia, she is great and takes good care of dogs. She always made sure to send updates with pictures and videos throughout the day, was very accommodating and reliable, quick with communication. Charlie enjoyed his stay with Patricia and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
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
“Monique is amazing. You can tell that she really loves dogs and will take care of them. I trust Monique with my pet and I don’t worry about leaving him with Monique. Thank you!”
“Sarah took great care of our dog Loki while we were away. You can see that she and her family genuinely love animals. She sent us updates and photos daily. We (including Loki) were very happy with Sarah's service.”
About: I have raised my own Standard Poodle from puppyhood, giving me firsthand experience with puppy care, training routines, socialization, and daily exercise. have experience looking after puppies, including potty breaks, crate routines, feeding schedules, basic leash walking, and lots of playtime. I work from home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available 24/7 to provide attentive care. This allows me to give pets plenty of companionship, regular potty breaks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and a dedicated indoor pet area where dogs and cats can rest, play, and feel comfortable. The environment is clean, calm, and pet-friendly.
“Oisin had a blast being fussed over by the entire family. He was quite spoiled. I got lots of feedback. Tanya & Craig are experienced and living doggie people. I’d highly immensely them.”
“I wanted to thank Dommond and Hilda for taking excellent care of our 2 year old Havenese dog Rocky! We left Rocky in their care for approximately 8 days for day care then 11 nights while we were away on vacation. It was our first time leaving Rocky and it was very difficult for us. Dommond and Hilda were simply fantastic with Rocky. We received daily photos and updates. We picked her up last night and she was a happy dog! Thank you Dommond and Hilda once again for taking great care of Rocky! We will see you again.”
“Our Burfi stayed Xin for 4 days. Xin took excellent care of her during her stay. We remained connected throughout the 4 days, lots of photos and videos during the day. We came back to a happy dog. Lots of space to run and play too! We are so glad we found Xin in our neighbourhood. Highly recommended!”
About: As a dog parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I offer a cozy home environment and welcome just one guest dog at a time, so I can get to know their personality and give them individual attention. My Goldendoodle, Dexter, is friendly and playful. We arrange a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure both dogs feel comfortable together. I’m home most of the time and enjoy sharing photos and little updates, so you can see how your dog is settling in. I welcome small and medium-sized dogs and take time to learn their usual routines, favourite activities and comfort needs. I’m home most of the time, so dog care fits naturally into my daily routine. I can plan my day around regular potty breaks, meals, walks, playtime and quiet rest. Before each stay, we’ll discuss your dog’s usual schedule and how they cope with being left alone, so you know what to expect. Your dog will stay in my home with me and Dexter, with access to a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor breaks and play. I welcome only one guest dog at a time and supervise interactions, with separate spaces for meals and rest when needed. A meet-and-greet is required before the first booking. Please provide up-to-date vaccination records and let me know about any health or behaviour concerns. To help keep both dogs well, I’m unable to accept dogs with symptoms of a contagious illness. Please bring your dog’s usual food, leash, and any bedding or comfort items they enjoy. Treats or homemade meal extras are offered only with your permission, after we discuss any allergies or dietary restrictions.
“Kumudini has done an excellent and exceptional job taking care of Lily for a month. Lily was emotionally attached during her stay with Kumudini and the regular updates through photos and videos made us understand how she was well taken care of. Kumudini takes a keen interest to understand every minute detail of the pet that she cares for and helps them adapt very well with the surroundings. She is a genuine pet lover and pet mom who would go over and beyond to take care of the pets entrusted to her I and would highly recommend her for her services! Thank you so much Kumudini for taking care of Lily as a member of your family. We were lucky to have you to care for our darling girl!”

Emily, Ling and family were such wonderful hosts. They were so attentive and thoughtful and made Jelly feel right at home so quickly. Through the regular photos and videos we could see how settled Jelly was and we really appreciated how much the whole family made her feel loved. We would book with Emily and Ling again in a heartbeat!
Amazing experience! Our dog is very high-energy, and can be a challenge to look after, but it wasn't an issue at all for Kelly! She sent us photos regularly of a happy-looking boy! Getting along with other dogs. What more could you ask for. Will definitely be bringing Astro here again.
Laura is an excellent caregiver. Our senior dog (16 yrs old)has only been boarded twice and does not typically take to strangers easily. Laura was excellent with him, kept us informed and was his normal self after his stay. Her residence clearly put pet care at the forefront! I highly recommend her.
We couldn’t have been happier with the care Shaira & Kevin provided for our beagle, Ollie, during our 2-week trip! What initially drew us to them was their experience as dog sitters and the fact they have a beagle of their own. They truly understand the breed, particularly their pack mentality and separation anxiety. To prepare for our trip, we arranged a few doggy daycare visits followed by a weekend boarding stay before our trip. Shaira & Kevin sent daily photos and videos, kept in close contact, and were always available for updates. Their home is thoughtfully set up for dogs & their organized, practical approach to caring for them is impressive. It’s clear they genuinely love what they do. We felt completely confident leaving Ollie in their care & would absolutely book them again. Highly recommend!
Xiangwen boarded our two dogs with ease and kept them so active they slept the whole way home! One of our dogs is a little more sensitive and barky than the other, and Xiangwen handled it with no problems, taking them to the dog park and tiring them both out. I'll definitely be booking Xiangwen again. She sent lots of videos and stayed connected the whole time - and it was a treat to see the dogs having so much fun with her.
Carmen looked after my two ragdolls, Benji and Millie, while I was out of town. She was easy to communicate with from the start and responded promptly. She sent me daily updates of the cats, and they were well cared for during their stay. She's reliable and I would definitely recommend her! Want it more casual or more formal, or is this the right tone?
Iris and her partner took excellent care of Sora, our one year old mini dachshund. She was extremely responsive via text and sent daily updates of how Sora was doing, including pictures and videos. I would strongly recommend Iris for boarding dogs and overall dog care!
We are repeat customers for boarding at Amrit’s home . You can leave the province stress free knowing that your pet will be very well cared for . She lives in a pet friendly location is easy to communicate with and gives detailed updates including photos . It crossed my mind to gatekeep Amrit to myself lol . I think that speaks volumes for anyone looking for a sitter :) Thank you Amrit for taking such great care of Charlie once again !
Would definitely recommend others to book with Claire as we were very happy with the care she provided for the time our doggie spent there. Claire took time to update us throught the stay and provide pictures and the occasional video. She has smaller dogs and this made our dog feel very comfortable as as she is on the smaller side as well. She is very caring and we will definitely book in the future again.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
