We are so grateful and already have plans to coordinate boarding care again for another upcoming trip. Thank you, thank you!”

One of our cats is usually very shy, but he quickly grew comfortable around her — which says a lot. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands.”
“I got connected with Jiaying last minute when my pet sitter suddenly canceled on me a night before I go away and now I understand, it was meant to be and I couldn’t pick a better pet sitter for my Sphynx. Jiaying sent me many pictures and video daily to update me. Great communication, very flexible, accommodating and she treated my cat as one of her own babies. I am for ever thankful and grateful of her and she will be my first pick for pet sitter from now on . Thank you Jiaying.”
“Siqi did a fabulous work with Saidy on my trip away. She came for an pre-visit to meet Saidy and to get clear on her needs. While I was away she followed all the instructions left and ensured Saidy was taken care of. I highly recommend Siqi!”
“Frederica took care of my cat and my fishes for a full week, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was absolutely amazing! My cat is a senior and very important to me, so leaving him with someone new can be stressful; but Frederica made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. She was attentive, gentle, and very loving with him. She followed all instructions carefully and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. She also took great care of my fishes, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciated her reliability, communication, and the genuine care she showed to my pets. I would 100% recommend Frederica to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and responsible pet sitter. I will definitely book her again!”

“Petra did a great job taking care of my cat! She was disciplined with her feeding schedule and patient with her cuddly clingy personality. She provided updates on a regular basis and made me feel comfortable to enjoy my time off. I will definitely be counting on her in the future and I will recommend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter. Thank you Petra!!”
“Anita did drop-in visits with my cat for 10 days and I was really impressed :) My cat is very shy and hides with new people. Not only did Anita make sure she at least found and saw her during each visit, by the 3rd day she had her out of her hiding place and they seemed to be buddies by the end of my trip! Anita seemed to really care about my cat, and I appreciated the photos and videos. Highly recommend!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Alaia! She took such wonderful care of my cat, Zoey, while I was away. From the regular updates and photos to her gentle and attentive approach, it was clear that Zoey was in great hands and felt totally at ease. Alaia went above and beyond to make sure Zoey was not just fed and safe, but genuinely happy and comfortable. I came home to a relaxed and content cat — the best sign of all! I would wholeheartedly recommend Alaia to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and truly cat-loving sitter. Thank you so much, Alaia!”
“Hiu took very good care of my fur babies! She kept in great contact with me throughout their boarding & sent cute pictures. My cats were very happy & playful when I came back. She seemed to be very attentive & to love the cats! I highly recommend Hiu & I’m looking forward to rebooking with her.”
“Yunni is amazing!! She is compassionate, patient, very experienced with cats and took good care of my two babies. One of them is usually shy and afraid of strangers but Yunni managed to earn his trust on the first day! She provided daily updates to me and it's lovely to see how my cats started bonding with Yunni. THANK YOU!”
About: I’ve lived with cats since I was a teenager. When I moved out, it was just me and my cat Swiffer, living our best lives together for years. He’s now with my brother back in the Netherlands, happily ruling the house. (And yes, we still FaceTime, he knows my voice.) I’m comfortable with all the basics: feeding, litter boxes, brushing, and keeping things calm. I let cats set the pace, whether they’re cuddly or prefer doing their own thing, I take time to read the room and earn their trust.
About: Hi! I’m Natalia — a lifelong dog lover with over 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies to mellow seniors. I’ve been the go-to sitter and walker for friends and family, and now I’m excited to open my heart (and schedule!) to new furry clients through Rover. My boyfriend and I have a gentle white German Shepherd, who is very well-behaved and loves meeting new dog friends. So if your pup needs a buddy or just someone to shower them with attention, they’ll be in great company! I’m reliable, attentive, and I treat every dog like my own. Whether you're going on a trip or just need some help with walks or drop-ins, I’d love to be your go-to sitter. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each dog I care for. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and any special care needs. I make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s in your home or mine, your pet gets the same level of care I give my own.
“Sabrina is a wonderful pet sitter. She is reliable, detail-oriented, and a great communicator. Most importantly, my cat Leo (who is a little bit shy with new people) likes her. I have peace of mind leaving my cat with Sabrina knowing that she will treat my cat as if he was her own pet. Thank you :)”
About: My love for cats stemmed from the time I spent caring for and cat-sitting for close friends. I spent a lot of time with other cats before deciding to adopt my own, and it was the best decision I have ever made. I have raised my own cats since they were kittens at 4 weeks old. Since then, I have experienced medication administration, brushing and claw-trimming, bathing, litter-box cleaning, and everything in between. My cats are two of my best friends, and I hope to offer the same love and care to other kitties as well. What sets me apart from others is that I am comfortable with pets of any size, big or small. My flexible job allows me to engage with your pet and care for them as they need. I have always had a positive experience with animals, and I have found it easy to engage and care for them. I am committed to providing your pet with the care, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away (no matter how long it may be), and you will receive lots of cute photos and updates from us until your return!
“I booked Mardi for 3 weeks while I was away in December and I will book her again in a heartbeat. She is friendly, reliable, and a strong communicator. She looked after my cat Ollie, and made me feel at ease during my holidays because she was consistent and super friendly. Always on time and kept updating me on her visits. Ollie loved her and I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Mardi for taking care of Ollie and for being so great!”
“I was a bit apprehensive leaving my cat Timmy for the first time after moving to Toronto. Nejla put my fears to rest. She kept Timmy very happy and provided me with tremendous comfort with lots of updates and so many pictures. She left the condo in great shape too. I highly recommend Nejla for anyone seeking a pet sitter.”
“She was the best, sent me pictures and my cat was so comfortable with her 😻 when she left she already had cleaned the litter box and as my cat makes a mess when he eats everywhere was so clean and mess free😸 thanks Nafise🫶🏻”
About: Growing up as a cat person in a dog people household, my love for cats never died even as I continued to love the dogs belonging to my family. When I moved out of my family home during university, the first chance I had, I rescued 2 kittens from a small community near I'd lived. I learned so much about cat behaviour, raising kittens, and ensuring a rich environment for them to grow up in. 4 years have passed, and since then I've fostered 3 other cats at different times, never turning away a cat in need. Whether shy or aggressive at first, I never doubted the sweet souls that reside inside their furry exteriors, and the consistency and love I showed them rewarded me with beautiful bonds with all these kitties. Finding a fur-ever home for these beautiful souls warmed my heart, knowing they deserve the best we as humans have to offer them. I know the importance of stability, hygiene, respect, and affection is for cats, and I am confident in my ability to maintain this level of care for your own kitties while you're away from home!
“Nicole just house sat for us for the second time while we were away for an extended overseas trip. She provided absolutely fantastic care for our three cats, two of whom have special needs. We could tell from the many pictures she sent us that they were feeling happy and at home with her, which gave us such comfort while we were far away and allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. She was reliable and communicative and we came home to an immaculate apartment. Thanks so much, Nicole.”

She was patient, gentle, and genuinely cared about making sure he felt safe and comfortable in her home. I really appreciated her communication and how reassuring she was throughout the process. It’s clear she truly loves animals and knows how to handle them with care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“I feel extremely fortunate I found Sharmayne, she was amazing and affectionate with my dog, who is fearful and needs extra patience, he played lots, was pampered and taken for walks, he was fed on his schedule, played in Shermayne’s nice yard. Was allowed to nap in the couch, I got frequent updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind as I am the one that suffers from separation anxiety. I am sure to look for Sharmayne again whenever we need boarding or daycare. My dog was so happy every morning when I dropped him off with Shermayne. Thank you!”
“Giancarlo and Roberta are lovely. Pepper has stayed with them multiple times. They re kind, reliable and flexible. My schedule changed sometimes and they were very accommodating. Pepper is happy going there. Thank you very much.”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs, starting with my first dog at age five and having owned six dogs throughout my life. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and am very familiar with their daily routines, care needs, and companionship. I have been working from home for the past three years and only go into the office one day per week, which allows me to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home most of the time and only go into the office one day per week. This allows me to provide regular supervision, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends and public holidays, making my schedule flexible and reliable for pet care needs. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and the service requested. In my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with regular feeding, playtime, walks (for dogs), and plenty of companionship and supervision throughout the day. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including diet, schedules, and any special needs.
“Sabrina was wonderful with my dog for daycare! She took her out for her walks and kept me reassured with regular pictures and updates throughout the day. My dog can be a bit slow to warm up to strangers, but she looked so happy and comfortable the whole time. Thank you, Sabrina!”
“Mardi was excellent with my puppy Ryu, at first he was whimpering when I left but Mardi helped him calm down right away and within 10 mins he was happily chewing on a toy :) Mardi took extra care to prepare for Ryu's stay by setting up his bed and blanket and had treats for him, as well as a special welcome sign! I would definitely use Mardi again and would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter :)”
“Fariba took extra care for my Cody boy, and he absolutely loves Fariba❤️ She updated me with pictures and videos of him and even gave him a bath. My dog came home happy and tired because he had so much fun! Thank you so much! We will surely be coming back?”
“Ghazal is amazing and caring towards Sadie 🐶. The level of love and care towards our pup is above and beyond . Sadie connected with her from the first meeting. We will be booking with her again in the near future ❤️🐶🐾”
About: Growing up with a dog didn’t just teach me about responsibility and unconditional love; it sparked a deep-seated passion for ensuring every tail was was met the same enthusiasm and care that my furry friend received. My approach to dog care is holistic and tailored, recognizing that each dog is a unique individual with their own personality, preferences, and needs. I am currently available full time to give all the attention, loving care and ensuring that the pets receive best possible companionship and nurturing . I live in a condo townhouse with a park very close by. The door is always locked, so your pet will be safe in the house.
“Nicole is lovely and super attentive to cosmo. She’s responsive and always sending us photos and updates to let us know how cosmo is doing. She’s our go-to for daycare and babysitting! Thank you Nicole 🙏”

“Jingyi was absolutely wonderful with Toto! She was incredibly caring, patient, and attentive throughout the entire walk. She took the time to understand Toto’s personality and made sure she felt comfortable and safe. Toto can be a little sensitive and likes to take her time during walks, but Jingyi was very understanding and paid close attention to her needs and emotions. She kept me updated, communicated clearly, and treated Toto with so much kindness and affection. I truly felt that Toto was in great hands. I would highly recommend Jingyi to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate dog walker. Thank you again for taking such great care of Toto! Toto came home happy and relaxed, and I could tell she really enjoyed spending time with Jingyi. We will definitely book with her again!”

It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he is getting great exercise, attention, and care while we’re busy. Communication is always great and we really appreciate the updates. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful with their dog!”
About: Since childhood, I have always been around animals. I grew up with a Rottweiler for a sibling, cared for a relative's guinea pigs, walked dogs with my best friends, and watched my pet fish give birth when I was 10. I travelled all over the city to spend time with friends' cats during my teenage years, which really contributed to my love for pets (and later influenced my decision to adopt my own). I have had the privilege of spending time with and finding comfort in the company of animals of all shapes and sizes. I have a diverse understanding of individual pet needs, personalities, and care routines with all the wonderful pets I had the pleasure of spending time with. What sets me apart from others is that I am comfortable with pets of any size and age, big or small. My flexible job allows me to engage with your pet and care for them as they need. I have always had a positive experience with animals, and I have found it easy to engage and care for them. I am committed to providing your pet with the care, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away (no matter how long it may be), and you will receive lots of cute photos and updates from us until your return! I am currently working a remote and flexible job that allows me to travel and manage my responsibilities from anywhere. I can travel as needed to care for your pets, whether it is for overnight or day visits. I can adjust my schedule to fit the needs of your pets, whether it is waking up early to go for a walk at sunrise or staying up late with a night owl (no pun intended). As a person, I am very kind, loving, caring, and patient, and I believe your pets deserve these qualities in someone who is spending time with them. I am committed to providing them with the care and comfort in their own home, an environment they are already familiar with, and following the same exercise, feeding, and playtime routines they receive from their caregivers. I take great care in attention to detail in all aspects of my life, and I will ensure that the requests and instructions provided for caring for your pet will be followed with the same level of commitment. I understand that for pets, being away from their owners can be difficult (and vice versa), and I want them to feel safe and loved in my care. I am happy to stay in your home and take care of your pet where they are most comfortable - I’m a tidy person and will never leave a mess in your space. Feel free to make requests or ask any questions, and we can discuss further.
“Yunni has been very responsive and always on time. She takes good care of Calla. Calla loves her and gets super excited when she gets ready to walk with her. Highly recommend Yunni to other dog owners.”
“Milly is a wonderful dog walker. She is very reliable, communicative, careful and just generally a happy person that is very easy to get along with. She loves my two doggos (and they are obsessed with her) and she treats them well and takes amazing care of them. I trust and rely on her and genuinely enjoy interacting with her. Top-notch stuff going on here. I highly recommend Milly.”
About: I have experience working in a dog daycare and assisting with bathing and drying dogs. I also own two cats and a bird, and I love caring for animals of all kinds. My summer schedule will be quite flexible since I’m out of school and currently looking for a part-time job. It will be my main focus for the summer time. I have a large, high fenced yard with plenty of space for any dog to run around and have fun safely. No matter where, your pets will be kept safe, happy, and loved!
About: I’ve cared for a dog for three years, so I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and keeping pets safe and happy! I also have some basic experience with dog training and senior dog care, including being patient, gentle, and attentive to their pace and needs. I’m currently raising a cat as well, so I understand how different each pet’s personality can be and always try to care for them in a calm, respectful, and loving way. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them the attention they need! I’m usually available on both weekdays and weekends, anytime after 9 AM and before 6 PM. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and respected in their space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, litter box care, medication if needed, and house rules. I keep a calm and clean environment, pay attention to each pet’s body language, and make sure they get the right balance of play, rest, and care. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.
“Karina is incredible. She’s attentive, professional, and so great with Bruno. He absolutely loves his walks with her. It’s such a relief knowing he’s with someone who genuinely cares and takes the time to make sure he’s happy and well taken care of.”
“Shengjia makes my dog comfortable and safe. Thats her priority. im glad we found such a wonderful person. ☺️🙏🏻 Thank you Shengjia for looking after TT. We will definitely book you again. Highly recommended!”
About: From the moment they enter our world/life till the moment they cross the rainbow bridge, I've learned so much from these beautiful creatures we adopt into our family. My latest family dog, an energetic and excited border collie, helped me truly understand the importance of stability, love, exercise, and play, especially for energetic or working dog breeds. From puppy to senior care, I've done it all and loved being the two-legged buddy to our furry friends! After moving out to university, I've found myself ending up, in one way or another, fostering cats that have unfortunately ended up with nowhere else to go. Knowing I couldn't turn away a soul in need, I've learned so much more about cats, especially when they're in a new environment/ around new people. Showing stability, consistency, love, and respect has so far earned me beautiful bonds with every cat I've spent time with, whether in my own home or in the homes of others. I'm confident I can take care of your little loved ones and hopefully make your stay away from your home and pet(s) at least a little bit easier! I currently work from home / online, so I can be available any day / time to care for your pet. For overnights / if you'd like me to stay for multiple days, I would bring my laptop to work (I do not use audio / video for my job). So really, the flexibility of my current schedule would likely make booking me easier for you! Since I live in a basement apartment (with 2 cats), I wouldn't be available to offer services out of my own home. However, I make it a habit to take care of daily hygiene (eg. cleaning litter boxes, brushing, nail clipping depending on temperament, etc.), feeding according to instructions and schedules, and ensuring pets get an adequate amount of play and exercise. I've found that the more play and activity an animal does during the day can greatly impact their temperament and sleep.
“When Freddie stopped by for our initial meet and greet, casper ran to her immediately, completely drawn to her. To see our dog have a connection with someone so quickly gave us so much comfort. Freddie has been amazing! Not only walking casper but assisting with training. She has experience that we, as new dog owners, do not have. I appreciate how kind and incredibly compassionate she and always flexible when we have to adjust our schedules. Thank you Freddie! Grateful we found you and thank you for taking such great care of our Lil pup!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Growing up in Bolivia, dogs were always part of my family, and I gained hands-on experience feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for them throughout all stages of life. Now that I live in Toronto, I can’t have a dog of my own just yet, so I love spending time with other people’s pets and helping busy dog parents. I am responsible, patient, active, and genuinely enjoy making sure dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for during walks and visits. I am on vacation in June and have a very flexible schedule throughout the month. This allows me to provide reliable dog walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of attention for your pet. Whether your dog needs a midday walk while you’re at work or extra exercise and companionship during the day, I am available on weekdays and weekends and can often accommodate last-minute requests. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure in my care. During walks, I stay attentive to my surroundings, use secure leash practices, and ensure your dog gets the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals, dogs, cats, and even small pets like hamsters, so being around them just feels natural to me. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, and I connect with them really easily, whether they’re super energetic or more shy and calm. I’ve also taken care of my friends’ dogs a few times, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very responsible and patient, and I always pay attention to what each pet needs. I’m also pretty confident with basic training and helping reinforce good habits in a gentle way. I truly treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of love, care, and attention. My schedule is pretty flexible and fits well into my daily routine. I’m available after 12 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I’m also available in the mornings and after 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. During the summer, my schedule is much more flexible, which allows me to be more available for pet care as needed. I provide a safe, loving, and pet-friendly environment both in my home and in my client’s home. I live in a very dog-friendly building where many of my neighbors have pets, and there’s a park right in front of my building where I take dogs on regular walks and make sure they get lots of fresh air and exercise. At home, pets are always treated like part of the family. My siblings and I all genuinely love animals, so there are always caring and responsible people around to give them attention, play with them, and make sure they feel comfortable and happy. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels safe by keeping things consistent with their usual routine. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, cared for, and loved, no matter where they are!

As a proud cat parent to a sweet 13-year-old kitty, I’ve spent years understanding the unique needs, quirks, and comforts that cats of all ages require. I’ve cared for a wide variety of cats, and whether it’s administering medication, providing gentle grooming, or offering calm, comforting companionship, I’m here to make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I spend my days caring for my own 13-year-old cat, so feeding, playtime, cuddles, and keeping things tidy are second nature to me. When I care for your kitty, they get the same love and attention! I make sure every cat is comfortable, happy, and cared for at their own pace, and I always send updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. Most bookings happen in your home so your cat can stay relaxed in their usual routine. I’m calm, tidy, and respectful of your space, and I’m always happy to do a meet-and-greet first so you and your kitty feel comfortable and confident.
“Nejla did an incredible job with our dog. She is a fantastic communicator and provided regular updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. Nejla provided a safe, loving environment, and we recommend her highly.”
About: Hi! My name is Mone, and I’m a passionate animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently have a sweet cat at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone who is patient, gentle, and attentive. Living with a cat has taught me how to recognize their unique personalities, respect their boundaries, and make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or needs extra patience, I’ll be happy to care for them with lots of love. I also have experience raising a large dog in Japan, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Because I currently have a cat at home, I’m only able to offer drop-in visits and dog walking services. This allows me to give your pet my full attention while keeping a safe environment for everyone. I know how much our pets mean to us, so I’ll always treat them like family. I’ll make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐶🐱💕 I work full-time, about 8 hours a day, five days a week. Because of that, I’m usually away from home between 7am and 3pm. Other than work, I spend most of my time at home. 🏠 I live with my boyfriend in a 30-story apartment building directly connected to the station. Our home is a spacious one-bedroom apartment of about 50 square meters, offering a comfortable and relaxed environment. We don’t have any pets of our own, so I can give your beloved pet my full attention and care. 🏙️💛
About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience raising my Corgi from just 6 weeks old. I’ve taken care of everything from daily walks, hair brushing, showers, nail trimming, and ear/eye cleaning to keeping him healthy and happy. I also cared for a Golden Retriever for 6 months, providing regular walks, bathing, and gentle treatment for an injured tail until full recovery. My experience with both small and large breeds has taught me to be patient, kind, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. I bring positive energy and genuine care to every pet I meet. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide house sitting and be present with your pets throughout the day. My schedule allows me to fit in regular walks, playtime, and care without rushing. My dog walking times are flexible — simply book in advance, and I’ll arrange the perfect time to match your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon visit, or an evening play session, I can make it work. I follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet happy, safe, and comfortable in their own space. I provide playtime, walks, and gentle grooming if needed. You’ll get regular photo updates so you never miss a moment!
“Anita is fantastic! They’re reliable, kind, and clearly love what they do. My dog always comes back happy and well-exercised. I really appreciate the updates and photos after each walk. Highly recommend!”

“Hao and his family are the best, they were extremely attentive to our little Aki as he is a very fussy eater. Hao went above and beyond to ensure Aki eats his meals, offering different methods.
