“So thankful I found Caroline! My dog Misty had a great time with her and her dog Oisin. She has such a warm presence and warmth to her, and is very experienced with both dogs and cats. She provided me with many updates and pics during my dog's stay and was super accommodating with drop off and pick up times. She has a beautiful home and backyard - a dog's dream and her neighbourhood is filled with luscious greenery. Can't wait for Misty to stay with her again. Caroline was patient during our meet and greet and I could immediately tell my dog would be well cared for under her supervision. I highly recommend her!”
“Thank you, Veronica! Our dog stayed with Veronica for two weeks and felt comfortable right away. She was calm and happy to go with Veronica, like they already knew each other. When our dog came home, there were no signs of stress or sadness at all. We had a completely worry-free vacation. Veronica truly loves animals and has such a big heart. We’ll definitely be using her services again and are so happy we found such a loving home for our dog. 🐾”

She is a pet lover and that reflected all along. I would definitely trust my pet with her care in the future.”

“I left my little Shih Tzu, Ginger, for two days and nights with Fabiola and was very pleased. I now have a lot of confidence in Fabiola to look after my little Ginger again in the future. She sent me updates a few times a day indicating some of the activities Ginger was enjoying such as the walks, meal time, and naps. Next time I need a sitter for Ginger, I will be contacting Fabiola. I do recommend Fabiola as an excellent Dog Sitter.”
“Jackson was so so good with Tux. He was open to letting Tux and Lego meet a couple of times before boarding, sent me so many photos and videos of my boy, and helped ease my anxieties. Tux was a happy tired boy when he came home! I will definitely be booking him here again :)”
“Giancarlo and Roberta took great care of our dog while we were away. They listened to every instruction, and were very organized. They communicated any issues that arouse promptly and offered a solution if needed. They went above and beyond, even giving a bath to our dog before sending her back to us! We highly recommend Giancarlo and Roberta. They are professional, responsible and caring.”
“Lisa is a kind and engaged pet lover. She made every effort to keep my dog, Ted happy and comfortable at all times. I enjoyed receiving pictures throughout the weekend of Ted having fun on his walks or relaxing at Lisa’s house. Ted was able to relax and feel safe immediately with Lisa which is not always easy for Ted. I highly recommend Lisa for any pet services.”
“We had a 10/10 experience with Hao and his family! They took care of Oreo for a 6-day stay. Their house has plenty of space inside the house and in the fenced yard for Oreo. Hao sent us photos daily during the whole stay. Thanks for taking care of Oreo!”
About: We are a couple wfh, who provide calm, attentive, and reliable care, treating every pet as if they were our own. We’re very mindful of routines, potty schedules, and feeding times. I’ve had dogs since I was a child, so I understand that every dog has a unique personality and benefits from a personalized approach to care. My husband also grew up caring for pets, including a dog, hamsters, a turtle, and birds, which has helped us develop patience and attentiveness with different types of animals. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. Since we work from home, we're able to structure our day around walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and companionship, ensuring pets are never left alone for long periods. In our apartment, pets are free to move around and relax comfortably. There is also a balcony where they can enjoy some fresh air during the day. We live in a calm, family-friendly neighbourhood, with a nearby park that’s perfect for walks and outdoor time.

“We had an excellent experience with Teruko and couldn’t be happier. From the very beginning, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly caring. She treated our dog like her own, keeping us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away.

Cheeto is excited for his next play date!”

I'll definitely look her up the next time we go on a trip!”

“Anita is absolutely AMAZING! Before I went away she visited my house and asked all the right questions and learned everything about caring for my 3 kitties. While I was away, she took phenomenal care of them meeting each of their needs. She sent photos and updates every visit. She petted them and played with them and even was able to find my very nervous kitties and entice them to engage with her! She kept everything clean and tidy and put the garbage out and fed the outdoor birds. She’s the BEST and I’ll definitely have her care for my kitties again!”
“Holly and Vincent took excellent care of Bowie! I had an unexpected circumstance that made me extend the visits short term and they were very flexible. Bowie was so happy with them!!”
“Kristy looked after my cat Luna for a week and I felt really comfortable leaving her in her care. She followed Luna’s routine, spent time playing with her, and made sure she felt settled and at ease. Luna can take a little time to warm up in a new place, so it meant a lot to see how comfortable she was there. Kristy also sent regular updates and photos while I was away, which I really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Luna with her again.”
“Alaia is very dedicated and go above and beyond for my cat Bei Bei. Bei Bei really enjoyed her company and she took a very good care of her while I was away.

“Sabrina is amazing. My cats love her. She even went in an extra time to turn my air conditioner on (which I forgot to do) to make sure the cats were ok in the heatwave. I have now used her services several times and I won’t use anyone else. You should hire her.”
“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.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was a child, and they’ve always held a very special place in my life.

I can head to work with total peace of mind knowing he's happy, loved, and well cared for. Couldn't recommend them more highly!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with 6+ years of hands-on experience raising my own Shiba Inu from a mischievous puppy into a well-behaved, happy adult. I gave her my whole heart and attended multiple pet training courses with her. After a heartbreaking breakup, she’s no longer with me, and I miss her every single day. But I realized I still have so much love and care to give, and I’d love to share it with your dogs as if they were my own😊. Since joining Rover, and through helping friends care for their dogs, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes, especially small to medium breeds, from tiny Maltese to senior bulldog. I’m patient with dogs who are new to boarding or feeling nervous, and I’m great at helping them adjust comfortably to a new environment. I also seem to have a natural connection with dogs haha and they usually warm up to me very quickly and love to stay close by🥰I’m attentive, always follow each owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for with plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I work from home most weekdays. I’m around for regular supervision and flexible potty breaks based on your dog’s needs. During the day (9–5), I can provide potty breaks in the morning and at lunch, along with 2–3 walks of up to 30 minutes each depending on your dog’s routine and energy level. I live with no kids or other pets, which creates a calm, quiet environment with minimal distraction, great for dogs who prefer a peaceful space or need time to settle in. After 5 p.m. and on weekends, I have even more time to dedicate to your pup for longer walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I live alone in a cozy, pet-friendly condo in a safe neighborhood in North York core with lots of families and young professionals around. My unit is on a high floor and sits behind the main street, so it stays quiet with minimal street noise, perfect for pets who like a calm space. I don’t have tall or high-heel furniture, so it’s safe for curious pets who like to jump or explore. My lifestyle is simple and peaceful - I cook lightly, have few electronic devices, and there are no children or other pets, so visiting pets get my full attention. Whether I’m caring for animals in my home or at a client’s, I keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

“Amazing dog walker! Yunni is very adaptable and can follow instructions with little to no questions. She also was able to meet up prior to the walk so both my dog and I can meet her which was great. Would definitely book again!”
“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’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!
“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.”
“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: 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.
About: In my home country, I have a 10-year-old golden retriever. It came to my home when it was still a baby. I am well aware of every stage of the dog's life, from the baby stage to the old age stage, and I have a certain understanding of each stage. Currently, I am studying in Canada. I miss my dog very much, but due to the complexity of the flight procedures, I didn't choose to get a dog. Because I want to be responsible for the dogs. They are like family members and cannot be abandoned. During the three summer vacations in Canada (a total of 12 months), I took care of one cat and two dogs for my friends respectively. This gave me rich experience in pet care in Canada. My friends always trust me implicitly because I will update the status of their pets and pay attention to their needs. I really enjoy the feeling of having pets around me. Please entrust me with it! I am currently a student with no other job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Even when I attend classes (2.5h), my partner will be at home to ensure your pet is well cared for. I provide photo updates 3–5 times a day so you can feel completely at ease. There is also a pet-friendly park right downstairs, perfect for daily walks and playtime. I will create a healthy and comfortable area for the dogs. If you have multiple dogs at home, I can also take them in at the same time.

My townhouse is pet-friendly and offers about 1,000 square feet of bright, comfortable living space, giving your pet a clean and cozy environment to relax in. There’s also a park right outside my home where your pet can enjoy playtime and outdoor walks. To ensure personalized attention and quality care, I only accept 1–2 clients at a time. My home is warm, clean, and pet-friendly, providing a safe and comfortable environment for your dog. I have dog beds, bowls, toys, and crates available to help pets feel relaxed and cared for. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, routines, and safety. If your dog has favorite toys, blankets, or special items, you’re welcome to bring them so they feel even more at home.

About: 🐾 Special Offer for New Rover Users! Use my code ANISHA25873 and get $20 off your first Rover booking. Neha and I both love having dogs. My two dogs reside in India with my family. We both work from home which makes sure the dogs is always given full attention and care. PET CARE EXPERIENCE I believe pets are not just animals — they are family. Anyone who loves animals understands that they are companions who bring joy, comfort, and personality into our lives. As a dog lover and owner of two dogs myself, I understand both a pet’s needs and the concerns that owners have when trusting someone else with their furry family members. With nearly 12 years of experience caring for my own dogs, I’m very familiar with their routines, behavior, and the attention they need to stay happy and healthy. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Your fluffy companion will always receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection in my care. WHAT I OFFER 🐾 Dog Walks Walks are often the highlight of a dog’s day. With years of experience walking my own dogs, I understand how important it is for them to explore, exercise, and enjoy their surroundings. I make sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to your dog’s energy level. 🐾 Drop-In Visits Leaving pets alone for long periods can be stressful for both pets and owners. During drop-in visits I make sure your pet gets their meals on time, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and attention so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. 🐾 House Sitting Traveling can be difficult when you’re worried about your pet. Instead of moving them to an unfamiliar boarding environment, I can stay in your home and care for them where they feel most comfortable. This helps maintain their normal routine and reduces stress while you’re away. MY REQUIREMENTS To ensure the safety and well-being of all pets, I kindly ask for: • Up-to-date vaccinations • Honest disclosure of your pet’s behavior, temperament, likes, and dislikes • Any feeding instructions, medications, or special care needs COMMUNICATION Please feel free to message me anytime if you have questions or would like to arrange a meet-and-greet. I’d love to get to know you and your furry family member! I work from home and live with my partner who also works from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily follow your pet’s usual schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. My flexible routine allows me to make sure pets are not left alone for long periods and that they receive the care, attention, and companionship they need during the day. I live in a clean, pet-friendly condo with plenty of nearby parks and green spaces that are perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. Pets staying with me are treated like family — they are welcome on the furniture and even the bed if that’s something they are used to at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to respect their space while maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for whether they are staying with me or I am caring for them in their own home.

About: We are a couple wfh, who provide calm, attentive, and reliable care, treating every pet as if they were our own. We’re very mindful of routines, potty schedules, and feeding times. I’ve had dogs since I was a child, so I understand that every dog has a unique personality and benefits from a personalized approach to care. My husband also grew up caring for pets, including a dog, hamsters, a turtle, and birds, which has helped us develop patience and attentiveness with different types of animals. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. Since we work from home, we're able to structure our day around walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and companionship, ensuring pets are never left alone for long periods. In our apartment, pets are free to move around and relax comfortably. There is also a balcony where they can enjoy some fresh air during the day. We live in a calm, family-friendly neighbourhood, with a nearby park that’s perfect for walks and outdoor time.

“Wes and Wendy took such amazing care of our corgi, Codie, while we were away for two weeks. They went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, active, and well loved the entire time. They sent us daily videos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. We could clearly see how much attention and care Codie was getting every day. They brought her to parks regularly, played with her a lot, and treated her like part of the family. When we picked Codie up, she genuinely seemed so happy and comfortable with them, which says everything. It’s obvious they truly care about dogs and enjoy spending time with them. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust Wes and Wendy with Codie again in the future! Could not recommend them more highly.”

She is super flexible and calm and it's obvious how much she loves animals.”

The frequent updates, photos, and videos gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Nala can be a bit energetic and particular, but Chunxi and JiaHao handled her so well — with kindness, confidence, and genuine care. I could see how happy and relaxed Nala was the entire time. I trust them completely with Nala, and I will not leave her with anyone else. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and responsible to care for their fur baby. Nala will definitely be returning! 💛🐾”
