I highly recommend Kripa & I am looking forward to inquiring for her services again when my dog needs to be looked after.”

She kept me updated throughout the stay by sending regular photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again, Hillary!”

When I picked up my pups, it was apparent that they had a great time - they were happy, tired and well loved. She has a great property in the country with trees, and lots of land for sniffing and exploring. Susan sent me photos and updates when I requested them.

I absolutely recommend Susan and will be booking with her again in the future! Thanks Susan!”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Your cat deserves more than just someone who fills their food bowl and leaves. I provide patient, respectful, and attentive care tailored to each cat’s individual personality and needs. ● I have cared for my neighbours’ cats on multiple occasions and have extensive hands-on experience with cats. ● I’m a proud cat mom to three cats of my own, who are truly my family and mean the world to me. ● I volunteered/worked at a local animal shelter for several years, primarily caring for cats, while also gaining experience with other animals. ● I spent several years doing TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), helping care for and support community cats. ● I understand that every cat is different. I respect their boundaries, personality, comfort level, and individual needs rather than forcing interaction. ● I’m very comfortable with litter-box care and clean my own cats’ litter boxes at least twice a day, sometimes more when needed. ● Before caring for your cat, I’ll take the time to ask questions and learn about their routine, personality, preferences, and specific needs. My goal is simple: to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, respected, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾♡
“Victoria is an expert pet sitter that gives us complete comfort when traveling away from our two kitties. We love her updates and photos and she keeps us informed of anything out of the ordinary.”
“Having Jessica look after Hallie while my husband and I were away gave us some much-needed peace of mind. Jessica sent pictures every day and she was very understanding when we had to suddenly cut our trip short. I will definitely book with Jessica again in the future!”
“I was so happy to have Andrea stay with our two cats. What a lovely person! We were away for nearly four weeks, but I never worried about any of them. Andrea sent messages and photos during that time, and I could see that they were all getting along well. We came home to a tidy home and two happy cats! I hope Andrea will come and stay the next time we need a cat sitter. 🐈🐈⬛”
About: I’ve had cats in my home all of my life, but have had my own cat for 3.5 years now. My cat is part bengal, so naturally he is very energetic and smart. I’ve taught him to sit, high five, lay down, and fetch. I’ve given him both oral and topical (such as eye drops) medications successfully, and have always followed veterinary instructions closely. I clean his litter boxes daily, as he is quite particular. Furthermore, I’ve done a lot of research about cats in order to give him the best life possible. He has a water fountain away from his food because cats prefer running water, he is fed a special urinary care dry food because of past issues, and he is also fed wet food because moisture is of utmost importance for cats and their kidneys - especially male cats. I never keep flowers or toxic plants in my house for his safety, and I take him outside on a leash so that he is able to get the stimulation he needs with less risk. I’m a very particular cat owner, and would understand and respect any other cat owners preferences, just as I’d hope someone would do the same for me.
“Sydney was an amazing caregiver/house sitter for our 2 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. We received lots of updates along with photos everyday. Sydney made sure Oscar and Felix were happy and healthy. She is honest, reliable, loves animals and peace of mind communication made for a worry free vacation. When we returned, Oscar and Felix were two happy kitties and our house was clean and tidy. We highly recommend Sydney. She’s a wonderful pet sitter! Thank you, Sydney!”
About: I’ve helped care for dogs since I was 9 years old. From puppies to seniors, big and small, there’s no dog I won’t care for. I work full time Monday to Friday, but my evenings and weekends are usually free. I have occasionally have online activities, but your pet will always have priority. I have a large yard for potty breaks, and live on a very quiet road for walks. Our house is large enough for playtime sessions.
About: I've taken care of dogs for more than 20 year's . I know how to take care of a senior dog and a puppies too. I am not working. My husband is not working too. We can take care of pets all times. I or my husband , somebody every time home I like to walk and to play with dogs. We have big living room to play with dogs. I take pictures of the dogs every day and send to the pets owners
“Vanessa was so wonderful with our cats, Piper and Chewy. She sent us pictures and followed our feeding instructions perfectly. We felt really safe leaving them in her care and would again. Thank you Vanessa!”
About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. I’m currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.
About: I completed my first pet sitting booking (10 days) and I was very successful! Not only were the cat and dog happy but the owner came home right after a major snowstorm to mostly shovelled driveway. My clients referred me to a friend! I intend to complete a pet first aid course in the spring. References upon request. Areas: Guelph, Hamilton, Ajax, Port Perry, Oshawa , Whitby, Vancouver Tri-city area, Peterborough, Cottage Country and more. I work from home so all I need is an internet connection! I am not glued to a desk and I like to situate myself where I can keep an eye out and be by the back door. Hour lunch break is playtime and before and after work a walk. I believe in providing for the pet’s normal routine. I keep my belongings and food out of reach and am ready for behaviours that might come up with their family away. Tummy rubs and playtime ease stress. I maintain the litter box daily so it doesn’t get out of hand. I have education in gerontology and earth science. I love older pets and will care for your plants too.
About: I have taken care of cats from a young age. Through the years I have also helped with dogs and cats within the same house. And I always love getting to know the unique personality that every cat or any pet has.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life. I was a trained foster volunteer at the Humane Society during my undergrad and currently live in a multi-generational home with my family with two cats and one dog. I have a background with handling Hounds and Terriers, and was previously an Airbnb Superhost for 8 years! I am a high energy, active individual with a strong sense of routine and gentle but commanding presence. I especially love walks in all weather and playing with pets. I currently work 9-5 during the week only with vacation and some remote flexibility. Growing up, I wanted to be a vet and live on a farm, but here I am working in banking and living in the suburbs! I am available for weekend and extended long-weekend care with a preference for pet sitting in rural communities in the Collingwood area and Prince Edward County where I split my weekend time. My almost 3 year old son will be joining me and I understand it is my responsibility to keep him safe and ensure he is not bothering your fur babies. I am very aware of the instincts of your animals to run especially when their family is away. I will be vigilant about managing any open doors and keeping your fur baby on their routine and watching for their signals. I will keep your fur family safe. With my background in being an Airbnb super host, I am happy to look after your house plants and provide light house cleaning, gardening, grass and snow removal.

About: Thank you for reading over my page! I've grown up with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish. And I love all animals. I'm most familiar with poodles, chow chows, and frenchies, but love all the funny and lovable characteristics every individual dog or cat possesses. I also have extensive experience with reactive dog, and can assist those who need walks with low interaction, special needs, training, etc. I currently work part time as a Law Clerk. This is why I am able to provide almost constant care in your home, dog walks, and whatever else you may need for your furry family members. Looking to help care for your little loved ones, and can also offer some special needs such as medication administration. I am most interested in house/pet sitting over weekdays and weekends. I can also accommodate last minute demands. Dog walking/hiking, drop-ins. All are welcome! Can't wait to meet you! Because I work part time my schedule is generally fairly open, except for school drop off and pick up during the school season. If your furry friend needs constant, uninterrupted care, please let me know and I will advise whether that will be possible. Your pets are your family, and I understand that. When I am caring for your pet I will always treat them with the utmost care and love, making sure any special needs or wants are met 100% of the time.
About: I’m an active, loving, and organized dog caregiver with experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies to wise seniors. I have two friendly Australian Cattle Dogs of my own, and I treat every dog who stays with me like part of the family. I’m experienced in administering medication and caring for deaf dogs, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and routines. Whether your dog loves hiking, playing fetch, or just lounging in the sun, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I am currently a stay at home dog mom so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available any day, any time! I live on 42 beautiful acres with trails, a pond, and a creek — the perfect place for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy nature safely. My home is located at the end of a quiet dead-end road, far from any traffic, so you can rest easy knowing your pup will have space and security.
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals, I bring a calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach to every pet in our care. I am an experienced Rover pet care providers and share the same dedication to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care for every animal I meet. My background includes professional dog handling, dog training, and dog walking for a company, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small furry animals, allowing me to confidently meet a wide variety of pet care needs. I am comfortable with feeding routines, enrichment activities, habitat maintenance, and administering medications when required. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I am trained in dog CPR, and I prioritize safety, structure, and positive reinforcement in every interaction. Whether your pet needs a reliable walker, patient caregiver, or someone who understands behaviour and individualized care, I tailor our services to fit their unique needs. Animals aren’t just a job for me—they’re my passion. I genuinely love building trust, providing enrichment, and ensuring every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. We offer flexible, around-the-clock availability to meet your pet care needs. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care, or last-minute bookings, were happy to accommodate a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I understand that every household runs differently, and pets don’t always stick to a 9–5 routine. That’s why I make myself available all hours of the day, including weekends and holidays, to provide consistent, reliable care when you need it most. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being remain my priority, no matter the time. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment, closely supervise interactions, and follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions exactly as provided. In a client’s home, I respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible — including walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest. In my home, pets are treated like family, with a secure environment, structured care, and plenty of attention. I also monitor for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates so you always feel confident and informed while you’re away.

About: Hi! We are Star Sitters here on Rover, with 6 years of professional pet care and 18 with our own animals. Someone is always here in our calm, safe, and dog friendly home so your dog can spend the day with company instead of being home alone. We do live with our loveable Boston Terrier, Gus, and we are often found hiking on dog friendly trails on the weekend or spending time at the lake. We are very active, enjoy being outside and think dogs should be too - Gus has a lot of energy so daily excercise is key already here. I work as a professional planner and Scott works from home and we are both free on weekends with flexible schedules. We spend a lot of love and time on Gus, who, like us, loves being around other dogs. We would be happy to meet you and your doggy in advance so you can get to know us. Emily works in the office four days per week just a few minutes from home, Scott works from home. Neither of us work on the weekend. Our home is save for any animal - we're smoke free, drug free with no children. Gus loves other dogs and always enjoys having a friend around. Our back yard is mostly fenced in and it's tucked behind. The front is also mostly fenced with a small garden fence.

“Mahan was so amazing with our little Benji. He felt comfortable and loved. She kept me updated with his day and sent pictures as well. I would recommend sending your fur baby to her, you won’t regret it!”
About: I've had dogs in my life for 40 years and truly love having them around. In recent years I've owned senior rescue dogs, so I understand how important patience, routine and gentle attention can be. Whether a dog is playful or just needs a place to happily chill, I make sure they feel comfortable and at ease. I take dogs in when you're travelling or need occasional dog sitting, rather than permanent dog care. Because I work from home, dogs fit very naturally into my daily routine. They get plenty of attention, regular outdoor breaks in my fenced yard and relaxed time inside the house with me throughout the day. I enjoy walking with them, playtime and quiet companionship. Your dog will stay in a calm, safe and loving home where they can relax and feel comfortable. They will have plenty of outdoor breaks in my fenced yard as well as regular walks. I pay close attention to their personality and routine so they feel safe, cared for and right at home while you're away. There are no other pets or children in my home, so your dog will have my full attention.

About: Caring for animals has been a big part of my life for years. I have experience with cats, dogs, and small animals, and I always strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. ● I previously volunteered/worked at a local animal shelter, where I primarily cared for cats, but also walked dogs and looked after smaller animals. ● I have dog-sitting experience, including overnight stays while caring for other people’s dogs. ● I regularly walk my neighbour’s dog from time to time. He’s a big boy and an absolute love bug! ● I previously completed a co-op placement at Ruff Cuts, where I gained hands-on experience with basic pet grooming: ○ Cat nail trimming: $10 per cat (additional charge) ○ Dog bathing: $15 per dog (additional charge) ● I have experience helping dogs who pull on their leash and know how to work with them toward calmer, more comfortable walks. ● Before caring for your pet, I’ll ask about their routine, personality, quirks, preferences, and any special instructions you have. Every furry family member is different, and I want to make sure I care for them the way you would. ● Getting to know your pet and making sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable is my priority (aside from coming home to my own three spoiled boys 😂). And yes — I have three cats of my own. They’re my special boys. ♡ 🐈🐈🐈 Your pets aren’t just a job to me — they’re someone’s family. I’ll treat them with the same patience, respect, and care I’d want for my own. 🐾♡ My availability for pet care is Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Unfortunately, I’m not available for weekend bookings due to my limited availability. I also have three cats of my own, so their routine is an important part of my day. ♡ I feed them their scheduled meal at 5:00 PM every day, with small portions of dry food available throughout the day. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate my daytime hours to caring for your furry family members while still maintaining a consistent routine for my own cats. 🐾 Your pet’s routine matters to me, too, so I’ll always do my best to follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and care schedule while they’re in my care. ♡ I’m unable to host pets in my own home because I have three cats of my own. However, I’m more than happy to provide pet care in the comfort and familiarity of your pet’s own home. I believe pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, surrounded by their familiar smells, toys, beds, and routines. My goal is to keep their day as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. ♡ Depending on your pet’s needs, I can help with: ● Walks and exercise ● Litter-box cleaning ● Feeding and fresh water ● Playtime and enrichment ● Brushing and basic grooming ● Dog bathing ● Plenty of attention, patience, and companionship ● Bringing my own waste bags when needed I’ll also follow any instructions you provide and treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. 🐾♡
“Andrea is fantastic! She is great with my two large dogs and always keeps me updated with pictures of their walks. Andrea has quickly become my go-to pet sitter/dog walker.”
“I reached out to Victoria less than 48h before I needed a dog walker and she was absolutely fantastic! She was was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet, and the day of the walk she offered a detailed update on how it went. After a not great experience on Rover a few months ago with a different dog walker, I can say that Victoria has renewed my faith in walkers/sitters on this platform. When I need someone to walk my dog in the future, Victoria will be the person I turn to first.”
About: I'll treat your dog like it's my own. I love being around dogs. I have 15+ years caring for animals of all ages. I'm farm raised with lots of animals, always had a dog or two growing up and still continue to have my own. I'm confident with any age dog from puppies to seniors. I currently work part-time as a dog trainer and volunteer with the humane society with their dogs. I enjoy working with dogs to get them to really enjoy the walk. I do work with pullers and jumpers and try to get your dog to a level where you'll also be able to enjoy your walks. I aim to put a dent in your dog's exercise needs to give you that calm, fulfilled pup when you return. Your dog will be welcomed as a pack member with me where we will work to have mutual respect between myself and your dog(s). I take a firm, but fair, no nonsense approach to working with dogs. I live on a farm near town and do have open fields that your dog may run and play (if you and I both feel comfortable with your dog being off leash). I do also have a large fenced in area I use as well and a shop area that I often use for my training space. My girlfriend and I are both on Rover and often work together with different dogs including our own. Meet and Greets are always welcome to ensure I am the best fit for your dog. Please reach out if you have any questions.

About: Hello dog owners! Thank you for viewing my profile. A bit about me... For the last 4 years I've owned a dog care business in both Toronto and Orillia. Before that I was a driver for a dog daycare in Toronto. I currently live in my hometown of Orillia and have been building my client base here. I currently mainly offer house sitting, walks and drop in visits with limited availability for boarding. Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests. I look forward to hearing from you! Notes: - The rates shown are for areas within 3km of where I'm located in Orillia. Additional kilometres will be subject to a mileage fee of $0.60 per kilometre for both there and back. My schedule varies each week but is flexible for daytime, evening and weekend requests. Let me know your requirements and we can figure out a plan that works! I am very attentive to your dogs needs and pride myself on quickly bonding with new dogs. I keep my living space clean and safe.
About: Hi there! thanks for checking out my profile. Happy to have you here. I will leave a brief but detailed synopsis about myself and my experience working with pets. My goal is to help you make an informed decision regarding your pet's stay while you are away. My name is Vee. I am a university student full of vibrant energy and a love for pets. I have five years of documented experience in pet sitting. I have had pets of all sorts and breed under my care. Domestic pets such as cats, dogs, birds, horses and reptiles I have attended to. I am well vexed in this field as I volunteered with an animal shelter catering to older pets. I loved it! I am certified in CPR for pets should an emergency arise. I take pride in my vigilance and accessibility. I am a student of life and love to learn as much as I can and build amazing friendships with pet owners while taking great care of their pets! I would also like to describe myself as trustworthy. I am organized and my love for pets shows in various aspects. I have excellent multitasking and communication skills. I am also really good at recalling names. Cruelty-free enthusiast. Can’t wait to meet you and start taking care of these amazing pets! Thank you for trusting me to care for your babies while you take a well-deserved break 😊 I am available all year round to accept bookings and do my best to respond to bookings in a timely manner. I am honest and transparent about my hours and will not take any more bookings than necessary. I am extremely passionate about this business. I try not to overwhelm myself as this is important to me. I aim to be the best sitter I can be and strive for perfection each stay. I do not overcharge for stays and my low prices for stays are deliberate. I do this for the company as I enjoy having pets around while I study. It's a win-win. I formulated a couple of games to occupy and tire out your pet for the entirety of their stay. I will send photos of the entirety of the stay and keep in touch so you have peace of mind. I have spare toys in my care also, but always recommend bringing your own. I have had pets with severe anxiety and having a piece of home, be it a blanket or toys that smell like home helps a ton. As far as safety, I have a fenced yard in my apartment and will never let a pet off-leash especially if your pet does not have any recall. I enjoy practicing training with pets also and have successfully conditioned some to learn commands. I offer grooming services as well at no extra cost, except showers/baths. Your pet is in safe hands and you will have nothing to worry about while they are in my care. I will make sure of that.

“This was our first time with Gretel. She made us feel very welcomed and put us at ease immediately. It was obvious how very experienced and knowledgeable she was handling all pets.

I highly recommend Kripa & I am looking forward to inquiring for her services again when my dog needs to be looked after.”

She kept me updated throughout the stay by sending regular photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved in her care. Hillary is kind, reliable, and truly goes above and beyond for the pets she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again, Hillary!”
“Andrea took excellent care of our 11 week old pup. She was thoughtful and sent us updates of how our pup was doing.

We highly recommend her and look forward to her watching our pup again.”
“This was Axel’s first time boarding with Kayla - Lea. She did a great job with him. The pictures she sent of him while we were away, gave us peace of mind because he looked quite comfortable and happy. He boarded with her picked for 8 days. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her services in the future.”

“We were very happy with the service provided by Marie. It was over and above what we expected. Our dog stressed her self out however this was well managed. When we arrived to pick her up she was obviously comfortable and happy. When we got home it was obvious she got lots of exercise since she was tired and content. We will definitely entrust Marie with our dog again. It was comforting to get a daily report and pictures of how she was doing.”
“We had an amazing experience with Ginny taking care of our puppy, Muffin, for 3 days. Muffin absolutely loved her stay and especially enjoyed playing with the toys Ginny provided. Ginny was very attentive and caring, and we truly appreciated the constant updates and photos that kept us reassured about how Muffin was doing. It was clear Muffin was happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. We would 100% trust Ginny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving and reliable care for their pet.”
“Janine is the sweetest our Atlanta had a blast at her house with the other poochies! Janine definitely knows what she is doing and we knew instantly our dog would be in great care. She txted us daily with updates on our dog. We have booked with Janine again for another week. Thanks so much Janine for giving us peace of mind for our girl Atlanta !”
“Susan and her family took care of my pups for over a week. I have been so impressed with the care they received. When I picked up my pups, it was apparent that they had a great time - they were happy, tired and well loved. She has a great property in the country with trees, and lots of land for sniffing and exploring. Susan sent me photos and updates when I requested them. She made my pups adorable bandanas with their names as a gift to take home. When my pups ran out of vegetables, she made her own to feed them. She is incredibly generous! I absolutely recommend Susan and will be booking with her again in the future! Thanks Susan!”

“Holly and Jerome did a fantastic job watching my dogs. There were lots of photo updates in which they looked very happy playing in their backyard. They were able to accommodate keeping my dogs separate from their own as well for the entire week. They were so much happier than staying at a kennel for a week. Thank you!”
“Heather was absolutely amazing and so kind. She took care of my babies like her own. She helped me when I was going through a really hard time. My fur babies were very happy to stay with Heather. She went above and beyond. We will definitely visit Heather again if she will have us.”
