I have two senior cats and one of them needs medication twice a day, and Yangyi was responsible enough to keep with my cat medication schedule, I'm extremely happy with how Yangyi treated my cats, also they liked her too. I highly recommend Yangyi if you want your pets to be in good hands. I'm definitely getting Yangyi to take care Kimis and Milo again. Thank you Yangyi, you are awesome !

About: Hi, I’m Sanjay — a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent to Zane, my friendly and well‑trained 3‑year‑old German Shepherd. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me with everything from walks to feeding, medication routines, and general pet care. I work a hybrid schedule (three days in the office), but I’m flexible and available for walks and drop‑in visits throughout the week and on weekends. I focus on reliable communication, punctuality, and making sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and understood. Your dog will get: • Consistent, attentive care • Structured walks tailored to their energy level • Drop‑ins with feeding, playtime, and check‑ins • A calm, pet‑friendly home environment if needed for brief visits • A friendly resident dog (Zane!) who loves meeting new buddies I treat every dog like my own - with patience, affection, and respect for their unique personality and routine. As a dog owner myself, caring for Zane is already part of my everyday life — feeding, structured walks, playtime, and outdoor breaks — so integrating care for other pets fits naturally into my routine. I’m used to managing different energy levels and personalities, and I make sure every pup gets the same level of attention and care I give my own. Safety and trust are at the center of how I care for pets. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pup is in good hands. Whether I’m visiting your home or taking your dog out for a walk, I follow a consistent routine focused on comfort, structure, and awareness. In Your Home (Drop‑In Visits) • Routine consistency — I follow your dog’s existing schedule for feeding, walks, medication, and playtime so they feel secure and relaxed. • Home safety — I make sure doors are locked, gates are secured, and your pet stays in their designated safe areas. • Clean environment — I tidy up food bowls, wipe paws if needed, and ensure your home is left exactly as I found it. • Clear communication — You’ll receive updates, photos, and notes after every visit so you always know how your pup is doing. During Walks • Leash safety — I use secure leashing, avoid unsafe areas, and keep full control at all times. • Weather awareness — I adjust walk length and pace based on heat, cold, or rain to keep your dog comfortable. • Behavior monitoring — I pay close attention to your dog’s body language and energy level, avoiding overstimulation or stressful encounters.

Kelsea did an amazing job watching my two kitties! She even got my shy one to come out early on. Both kitties seemed to enjoy her dropping in and giving all the pets. I would be happy to have Kelsea watch my kitties again!!

About: Animals have always brought a sense of joy and purpose to my life. From an early age, I found comfort and connection in the company of pets, and that bond has only grown stronger over time. For the past five years, I’ve worked independently as a cat sitter, building trusted relationships with both pets and their owners. Along the way, I’ve also gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, making me confident and capable in providing attentive, personalized care to a wide range of animals. Use my code LISAJ78575 to get $20 off your first booking! I stay at home for most of the time. I’m available to provide daily care and playtime to keep your cats happy and well looked after. Currently, I specialize in cat-only boarding to ensure a calm and stress-free environment tailored just for them. My home is clean, spacious, and enriched with toys and cozy spots to keep your cat engaged and comfortable. For cats that are more reserved, I provide a separate room with a sunny window and cat essentials—creating a quiet, comfortable space where they can relax and feel secure.

About: Hi, I’m Alia! I’m here to care for your fur babies with long walks, home visits, and lots of love while you’re away. Having pets all my life, I know firsthand that they’re our best friends, our loyal companions, and our daily dose of joy. I’ve always believed that animals are the purest of souls and deserve nothing but kindness, thoughtful care, and unconditional love. Over the years, my family, friends, and neighbours have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. Whether your fur baby is a zooming ball of energy, a professional cuddle-bug, or a wise little senior who prefers a slow life, I’m here to provide personalized care tailored to their personality, routine, and needs. Everything from long walks, favourite playtime activities, and of course, unlimited belly rubs. I understand that leaving your little one behind can be stressful, so my #1 goal is to make the experience as smooth and worry-free as possible, for the both of you. I'll ensure to keep you in the loop with regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can feel at connected and at ease. Most importantly, I treat every pet as my own, and take pride in building trusting, long-term relationships with both them and their people 🐾💛 I love to stay active with long walks and getting fresh air, but I also cherish slowing down by curling up with a good book and a furry friend by my side. Whether your pup has endless energy or your kitty prefers quiet naps and evening snuggles, I’ll match their pace and structure playtime, walks, and affection around their needs. I offer in-home visits and will always treat your space with respect. Please don’t hesitate to share any of your preferences, routines, or special instructions—knowing what makes you and your little one feel most comfortable helps me give the best care possible. From favourite spots and toys to feeding times and play routines, I pay attention to the little details so your fur baby feels safe, happy, and at ease.

Tammy looked after our Cat for two weeks. Our shy around new people cat instantly warmed up to her. They say animals are the true judge of character. She was so easy to work with and I felt 100% confidence in her! Lots of daily pictures and videos are reassuring. Highly recommended her service!!

About: I have proactively taken care of my friends' dogs for them since my residence has never allowed any pets. I love going on walks myself, so going with a dog only makes it more fun I currently am a student and work part-time very rarely, I have time to pet sit during the week and weekends. I only have classes in the evenings from 6 pm-10 pm on weekdays so I'm free almost all the time. I live in a building with easy access to a lot of greenery that your dog would love and meet other dogs and people if they enjoy that!

About: Hello, my name is Tvega (pronounced Ta-vay-ga) and I love caring for animals! Myself, I have a senior Collie/Retriever named Misty and a dwarf rabbit named Nugget. In addition to caring for my own pets and babysitting for friends (ex: Rye, the Airedale in my pictures), I worked at a boarding facility for dogs and cats. There I gained a lot of knowledge about dog behaviour and training and it has become a passion of mine! There is a special place in my heart for senior dogs and toy breeds like Yorkies, however, I loved working with ALL breeds and learning their different personalities. I also volunteered at a cat rescue for 4 years and developed a better understanding of cat behaviour through the variation of cats that came to the rescue. This included kittens, seniors, cats with health conditions, semi-ferals and timid cats (which were my personal favourites!). With the rescue, I also cared for different species of small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds). I have an open availability at the moment to leave home and take care of animals. Once I start working, my availability will be updated accordingly. Pet care varies upon different personalities and needs of the pets. I will work with owners to provide what their pet specifically needs during their visit.

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life over three decades and I’ve been learning more about training dogs through my own. It always been rewarding experience for me. I can accommodate pet care customed to the owners needs ahead of time. Also, I’m usually free between Monday to Friday to make time for pet care daily or weekly routine. I have a dog that’s trained on the regular and he will be caged while I have your dog on board. My dog is also very friendly can accompany yours as well. I can also train the dog as my own and make the stay worthwhile.

About: A little bit about me: I am a 26y/o very outgoing young professional individual living in Mississauga with my parents therefore I can only do boardings for cats and smaller dogs only, sorry. I have a culinary background and my interests/passions include: plant based/vegan lifestyle; all types of important movements like Animal rights, environmental issues, human rights, affordable housing, etc.; health and fitness; horticulture/plants; and being low to zero waste as much as possible. I do have over 10 years of experience taking care of animals on and off (mostly dealt privately and some on rover so that’s why I don’t have many reviews on here). I don't have a companion animal of my own because I'm not financially ready to. But some day I will and of course being a walker/sitter is an amazing way to connect with other people's companion animals and continue to learn about the responsibility of taking care and giving the most love to them. I do have more experience with taking care of animals than on my reviews. In the past I have taken care of my friend's & reoccurring clients' fur babies while they were on a trip for a weekend, week(s), month(s) or even just the day/evening. I've done it all! l would love to take care of your fur babie(s) when they cannot be with you. Either you're at work and they need to get out of their homes for a bit or you have a trip and they need some company I can babysit them, feed, and play with them; making sure they will be spoiled while you're are away! Here are some of my experiences: My first client was when I was 14, I babysat two kids and they had a dog named Denver, he's an Aussie Doodle. Denver was a wild one, full of energy! It took me 30min-1hr to play or walk with him sometimes longer to calm him down before I dealt with the kids when they get home from school. I had house sat for a couple of friends and one friend had a dog named Kona, she is a husky, lab/Pitt mix and she loved humans a lot, but not other dogs or other animals, she'll attack and pull! She had so much energy just like Denver, but she was much stronger, like sometimes if you don't hold on to the leash she'll pull you away. I usually have to walk her and play for more than an hour to get all the energy out of her. Kona was a lot to handle but she's still a sweet heart ❤️ I took care of her and my friend's apartment for about 3 months. Then I took care of 6 kitties and a older age Chihuahua, named Elvis for multiple times while my friend was on a trip. He is so adorable and the kitties too! Had lots of cuddles and I had to make all the food for them. It was very easy, and they love it! Last of all, I used to volunteer at a doggy daycare facility too. (Don't remember the name of the place but it was in Mississauga around Lakeshore) So, I've dealt with all kinds of dogs from big to small, easy to hard, young to old. So long story short, I have a good amount of experience with both cats and dogs of many breeds and difficulties, but mainly dogs. If you think I would be perfect to take care of your fur babies feel free to book with me and help me get more experience and get started on this site! Got any questions? Feel free to message me and I will do my best to answer them. My current schedule is very flexible, I am only doing UberEats and DoorDash while I am looking for a new full time job but I will always try to work with my clients to do what’s best for you and your pet and make it work for everyone! When staying at your home I would be responsible and professional please do let me know any request and anything off limits and I am completely ok with cameras as long as I get a heads up. I will always treat your fur child and home with respect and care and will have consistent open communication.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and other pets, and have experience fostering a poodle. I currently have a shy cat, which has taught me patience and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable. I work in social services and have several work-from-home days, allowing me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. My 13-year-old daughter is also a responsible animal lover who enjoys giving pets extra playtime and affection. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, or shy, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work from home several days each week, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs and schedules. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. We have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a balcony for fresh air, a dog area on our building’s terrace, plenty of nearby walking routes, and a lake close by for enjoyable walks and outdoor time. ☺️💗🐾

Valerie was able to schedule a walk for Pepsi even on short notice and did such an amazing job with him. She was very professional and caring when it came to understanding Pepsi’s needs and getting to know him. From their initial meet and greet it was clear he liked her and that he would be well taken care of.

Rajat came through for us at the very last minute, for which we are so thankful! We have a big family with 3 beloved dogs - a senior, a teenager, and a puppy. Walking them all together is no easy feat, but we reached out to Rajat to see if he could take all 3 of them on a one hour walk while we were away for just a couple of hours. Walking the dogs for a whole hour tuckers them out (if walked right!), and when we got home to 3 sleeping and happy dogs, we were so grateful to have found Rajat. We'll definitely be re-booking with Rajat whenever we need help again. Rajat: Rambo, Rosie, and Robbie loved you! Thank you again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Mississauga on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 6,701 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Mississauga. About 86% of Mississauga 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.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Mississauga stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Mississauga 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 dog, 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.
