“We did a meet and greet with Shreeja yesterday and it went really well. She is very friendly and easy to communicate with. She seems to have good knowledge about cats and asked important questions about our upcoming sessions which I appreciate. Our fur baby was purring when she petted her in the very first meeting. I feel comfortable entrusting my baby to her care.”
“She is amazing , took care of my baby like if it was her own. My cat was so happy with her. I highly recommend her . She send me daily pictures of tiger and that made me feel very comfortable.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I have experience with dogs, and cats! I understand the needs of different pets and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits into my routine really well because I enjoy being around animals. I recently graduated from high school so I have more availability. I have a second job as a house cleaner during Wednesdays and Thurdays, and sometimes other days of the week. I’m able to plan my days around pet visits and walks. I always make sure I give each pet the time and attention they need. I like the structure it brings to my day, and caring for animals honestly never feels like a chore, it’s something I enjoy doing! When I’m house sitting, I treat your home and pets with the utmost care and respect. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I make sure they get their usual routines like feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. I keep the environment clean and secure.
“Anjie took incredible care of Oscar and Luna during our 3-week trip. The daily updates with sweet notes and photos made such a difference and let us actually relax on vacation. She was so loving, responsible, and communicative. Our cats were clearly happy and well-loved. Thank you Anjie for the peace of mind! You are amazing!!”

About: I am best friends to dog lovers who also love to travel. So I often found myself baby-sitting their pups, which I always welcomed. I have experience in handling 2 pups and 3 cats at the same time. I work on weekdays, 9-5. I would love to hang out with fur babies in the evenings, for night stays, or on weekends.

It is a residential neighbourhood.
About: I have been caring for animals since a very young age. I began my career as a vet tech which I did for many years until I became a human nurse, which I am currently working as. I am also able to provide medical care if needed or take your loved fur baby to any medical visits they may need. I am new to the Rover platform but I am not new when it comes to caring for cats and dogs as I have been doing it for years. I would love to opportunity to gain trust within the pet parent community to be able to take care of your beloved fur baby. I can care for both dogs and cats I work part-time as a bedside nurse, but I have some flexibility in my schedule to be able to overnight dog sit or day sit in between my shifts at the hospital We currently have a rescue dog that is extremely friendly and social and would love another mate to play with. We also have a large open space behind our home which the dogs have access to to run around and play
“My cat hammer is usually quite timid around new people but surprisingly when I dropped him off with mira and Charles he seemed to get quite comfortable extremely quickly. They must have a magic touch. I will definitely be using their service again. They are very polite and respectful.”
“Frankie took excellent care of my pets for two weeks. I’m glad I found him on Rover. He worked very hard and my cats really love him. I would definitely book him again to take care of my cats!”
“Hafsa was a fantastic sitter for our cat. It was the first time we were leaving our cat who has a touch of separation anxiety and we returned to a happy and purring cat! Hafsa sent us daily photos and videos, gave us frequent updates and was patient with our WiFi enabled home. :) She was diligent with cleaning the cat's litter and even vacuumed up as needed! So happy we booked Hafsa and will 100% book her again if needed. :)”

“Ayoka was amazing with our cats!! She is very responsive and sent picture updates every few days which was reassuring. Ayoka clearly cares for them and showed them much love! She had our cats in between our move which was 10 days. I highly recommend!!”
“We hired Brenda to take care of our two cats. She was an exceptional house sitter and took really good care of our pets. Our cats look even better when we got home than they did when we left. Our older one kind of gained a bit of weight, which is great and their coats looked really healthy. It was really nice to feel like we could fully be present in our vacation and not worry about our pets because of Brenda.”
About: I am a friend to cats and dogs alike. I have taken care of my own cats, I've done cat-sitting, and dog-walking before. I have good intuition for how a pet communicates its needs. I currently work part-time near my house. I'm available in the evenings on weekdays after 6:00pm, and during the weekends from 2:00pm to 9:00pm. I can do quick check-ins on the pets, feed them, or walk them if needed. I am great at playing with pets and giving them the physical attention that they consent to. I feed my cats a mixture of soft food and wet food. I make sure not to overfeed them, even when they meow for more food. As for my clients, I review with them if their pet has a special diet, schedule, or temperament. It's good to know how each pet is food-motivated versus attention-motivated. I ask clients about their pets' diets and how much treats to give.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 2 years. I haven't owned my own but I did babysit my friends', neighbors', and family members' puppies or senior dogs. I have educated myself how to give care for the senior dogs and I am still improving myself in different topics; such as, how to give a bath and dog's psychology. I am working from home and I am teaching English; that's why, I can always have an eye on your pet and spend lots of time together. I have a fenced yard in my apartment and there might be my neighbors' dogs around so they can play together. I am very close to the beach and dog parks so your pet can always play and walk around with me in the nature or with other people's pets. 🐕
About: Hello there! My name is Jennifer-Lynn. I am a huge animal lover and have had multiple dogs/pets for every year I’ve been on this earth! I truly do not know what life is like without a dog in the home. We currently have four dogs , two cats and two parrots. I have extensive experience with large dominant dog breeds. No dog is it’s too big or challenging. I love and train them all! Pets are more than family to me and yours will be treated the same! 🐾🐶🐈🦜💕 I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. It would be my pleasure to help your pets feel safe and loved while taking care of all their daily needs 😊 I am located near many beautiful walking trails close to the Scarborough Bluffs and beach. Your fur baby will come home to your loving arms happily exhausted after exploring with me and all the adventures we take. I will provide photos and updates regularly. 😊

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Scarborough
Liz was our very first pet sitter, and before using Rover, one question kept running through our minds: How do we let a stranger into our home and trust them with our beloved cats? That concern disappeared the moment we met Liz. From our first meeting, I felt an instant connection with her. It was exactly the feeling I hoped for if I was going to leave my two “kids” in someone else’s care. Honestly, Liz never felt like a stranger from the moment we met. Everything after that was easy, comfortable, and stress-free. At times, it truly felt like it was meant to be. Liz took exceptional care of our two cats. One of our cats requires insulin injections every 12 hours, and Liz administered them promptly and reliably throughout our time away. Knowing that such an important medical need was being handled with consistency and care gave us tremendous peace of mind. We want to do more traveling in the future, but providing our cats with safety, love, and excellent care will always be our top priority. Thanks to Rover, we found Liz, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, Rover, and thank you, Liz. We will absolutely continue to use Liz in the future. Her kindness, compassion, and dedication mean the world to us, and we know our cats are in the very best hands. Dini and Family
To say Anyelka was EXCEPTIONAL is an understatement. I couldn't have asked for better care of my fur baby. She was punctual, caring,committed,kind,thorough, very loving and attentive. My first experience has been absolutely amazing. My mind was at ease my entire trip with daily reports, pictures, videos and even a Christmas photo shoot ❤️ Knowing I had such a compassionate, dedicated and loving person for my Simba was priceless. 5 stars ++++ Anyelka goes over above and beyond❤️
Kaloutha is wonderful to deal with, has fantastic communication skills (the photos are always marvelous), and has a wonderful way of keeping our minds at peace about taking care of our cat when we were away. We are grateful that she is as great with our cat as she is professional!

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.

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.

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.
