“I am so happy we found Jahzara ! I am an anxious millennial and worry 24/7 about our cats. From the first moment she was the loveliest, kindest, and most understanding of our cats' individual personalities. I will absolutely ask her to take care of them again. Thank you for all you did”
“I am grateful for Khadija! I felt my cat was safe & happy with her drop ins. She took care of everything & ensured he was well looked after, left spaces very clean. I love that she provided a check in & some pictures while away! Will certainly rebook in the future!”
About: Every pet deserves a cool aunt: fun enough to keep things exciting, but organized enough to keep routines and bedtime strictly on schedule. With 16 years of hands-on experience, I offer dedicated, 1-on-1 care designed for pet parents who want complete, attentive peace of mind. Because I work remotely with a self-directed schedule, your animals receive my focused presence, affection, and spoiling all in the comfort of their own home, with zero household drama. What you can expect: Exclusive, Attentive Care: I book one household at a time. Whether your pet thrives on brisk outdoor treks, strict medication routines, or quiet company on the couch, their specific pace and quirks run the day. Type-A Home & Pet Logistics: Backed by a reliable hatchback, meticulous home-security habits, and proactive communication, you'll always know the doors are locked, schedules are held, and your pet is thriving. Whether you need high-touch overnight house sitting, an energetic walking partner, or dedicated drop-in visits, I've got them (and you!) covered. Fur, fins, feathers, and scales welcome! I work remotely in a self-directed career, giving me predictable routines paired with broad flexibility for my pet clients. Dedicated Daily Pet Care Windows: Available weekdays from 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and anytime after 3:00 PM for walks, drop-ins, and dinner routines. Overnight House Sitting: House-sitting guests receive dedicated focus and primary scheduling priority. While I maintain brief standing walking blocks locally around 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, multi-day overnight bookings take precedence: inquire with your dates and location, and I will tailor my itinerary around your pet's needs. Weekends: Fully open for weekend stays, hangs, and adventures. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s familiar territory, keeping their comfort, routine, and home security front and center. My goal is discretion and seamless continuity: your pet stays happy and stress-free on their own schedule, and you return to a home that is just as clean, secure, and peaceful as you left it. I treat your space with meticulous care, doors and locks are always verified, alarms are set as instructed, and entry details remain completely confidential. Meals, medications, and bedtime rituals are followed to the letter so daily life never feels disrupted, while outdoor time is focused on controlled, attentive, on-leash safety with zero risky encounters. Throughout every stay, you can count on proactive communication, detailed updates, and photos every step of the way so you always have total peace of mind
“Shenley was amazing with my senior cats! One of my cats requires medicine and extra care, and Shenley made sure to provide all of that and more. I can tell they enjoyed their time with her too!”
About: Hi my name is Bethany! I’m a registered nurse who works in Whitby and Oshawa and lives in Pickering. I can house sit or take your little family member for walks as needed. I’m available during the day to pop by or for overnight! Thank you for considering me and I hope to hear from you in the future! When working in Whitby I can pop out during my shifts but when in Oshawa I am unable to leave work so I try to mark those days as unavailable. I am not able to accommodate having pets in my home due to the two sassy ladies I have here. But I am able to accommodate coming to your home as needed.
“Ayoka watched our 2 cats for several weeks while we dealt with staging a home and was a fantastic sitter. She’s kind and communicative and I could tell from the photo updates that the cats were very happy and comfortable. I definitely recommend booking with her!”
About: I spent 12 years caring for my family cat and learned how to keep pets safe, calm, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to excellent care. I work full‑time, but I’m available for pet care from Thursday to Saturday and can accept same‑day bookings. On Wednesdays, I’m available after 6 PM. If voluntary time off is available at 3 PM, I can leave work then and arrive shortly after if a client needs care on Wednesday. My dad is allergic, so dogs can’t enter my home. I provide outdoor care with full supervision, using my fenced backyard and dog‑friendly indoor break spots.
“When you meet Denell, you can see she’s an animal lover and pets love her too. She took very good care of our two cats for the week we needed her. She was attentive to them, communicated with me through the week, and also shared photos. I highly recommend her and we will be calling on Denell again.”

With every interaction I get to know more about their preferences, desires and dislikes so that I can tailor the experience uniquely to them! I'm currently taking a break from university to help out with my community. My availability is all week, every day with my full time schedule at home. I have a fenced backyard with greenspaces. I'm located near two parks and the waterfront at Lake Ontario! The place is minimalist with lots of space for your pet to roam and rest.

“Amanda house-sat for me for two and a half weeks while I was on vacation and I am very happy with the job she did. My two cats were well-cared-for, and I also asked her to keep my garden and lawn watered and she did a great job with that too. She also left the house nice and clean and she laundered all the sheets and towels. She also sent me photos and updates on my cats while I was away. I would be very happy to use her services again!”
About: I have loved animals since I remember I grew up with dogs and cats. My old dog Brandy was diabetic since moving out.

About: Fluente : Pt-BR Since childhood, I have always loved animals. I’ve had both dogs and cats, and people around me have always known they can rely on me to care for their pets. I enjoy getting to know each animal individually and handling them with love and care. Exotic animals also fascinate me, and I handle them adeptly. I am available to assist with any pet-related needs, regardless of the species! 🐾 Since moving to Toronto, I’ve been exploring my love for art and drawing. Most of the time, I work from home every day of the week and set my own schedule. Therefore, I’m always available to offer support when needed. Additionally, I’m here to help with your pets whenever necessary. 🐾 I have a beautiful cat living with me who has special needs. She doesn’t have movement in her hind legs, but I’m there to assist with her physiological needs, play with her, and provide all the love and attention she requires. She always stays indoors, and I have a spacious fenced backyard where you and your pets can have fun together. Additionally, just beyond the fence, we’re fortunate to have an expansive park with plenty of grass for your pet to enjoy and run around! Of course, I’ll be supervising attentively. I’ll always be watchful and available for your pet!
About: I'm a proud mom of two cats with 2 years of hands-on cat care experience. I hold a Red Cross pet first aid certificate and am currently studying toward a feline behavior consultant certification. I'm experienced in reading cat body language and behavior cues, and I know how to respond to common health situations — from tummy troubles to stress signals. Your cat will get patient, attentive care, plenty of playtime, and a calm, safe environment. I also send regular photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing! My schedule is very flexible right now, so I can easily fit cat care into my week. I'm available for drop-in visits and sitting on weekdays and weekends — mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I have two friendly resident cats, and I'm happy to keep them in separate rooms if your cat prefers solo space. In your home, I stick to your cat's exact routine — feeding, litter, play, and medications — and send you photo updates every visit. With my pet first aid certificate, I stay calm and know how to respond if anything unusual comes up.

About: I have walked several different breeds and sizes of dogs, including foster and domestic dogs, which has taught me how to adapt accordingly! Personalization is important to care for an animal.

I maintain a clean litter/pad area and wash food bowls after every meal!

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
