“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.”
“Isaac and Mildred took great care of our cat while we were away. They played with him a lot and he seems to have had a great time. They went the extra mile by keeping his corner really neat and tidy. I strongly recommend them and hope they will be available the next time we need a sitter.”
About: Whether your dog is big, small or inbetween; whether your cat loves cuddles or hates humans- I got you! I am immensely patient, adaptable and can keep your pet in familiar surroundings and routines while you're away. I work freelance so my schedule is quite flexible. I can do morning/evening walks and feedings, or stay with your pets for weeks at a time If staying in your home, I will leave it as you left it, if not better. You'll come home to a clean home and happy pets.
“Shehrin and Mukit very super kind and friendly from the very beginning. They responded quickly to my initial inquiry, helped carry them and their gear when I dropped them off (as their were 2,cats and their gear), sent pictures of them every day showing them settling in, and helped again when I collected them. My cats were chill and happy when I picked them up. They were definitely looked after. It's great knowing that I have lovely people close by that can look after my fur babies.”

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. I also work remotely on occassion, so I can make time on those days as well. I have a fenced yard, it is a big yard. There are also a number of parks and walkways around me. It is a residential neighbourhood.
“Angela looked after my cat for 3 days in a row. She was punctual, reliable, responsible and showed genuine love of animals. She was super patient with my 14yr old cat and spent a lot of time brushing her and comforting her. She followed instructions well and my cat did great with her care. Thank you Angela!”
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 am in college, so some weekdays are busy, but most of my free time is spent at home with cats or outside with dogs! I have a fenced backyard and several grassy areas near by to play in! I maintain a clean litter/pad area and wash food bowls after every meal!
About: Mira - I have owned my own pets at a young age from fishes to pocket pets and dogs, ranging from small to large breeds. I graduated in the Animal Care program and currently work as a Vet Assistant at an animal hospital where I work with both cats and dogs and handle emergency to non-urgent cases.I have a good understanding of pets needs (i.e. caring for senior pets, medical concerns, specialized diet, etc.) I used to do dog walking as well. Charles and I are both pet lovers on top of my own experiences. Mira works 8hr shifts on the weekdays and is usually free on weekends. Charles is a nurse and does shift work, so he is available weekdays and weekends depending on his schedule. We do try our best to make our schedule work with your pet but there may be times where your pet may have to be alone for 8hrs due to our work schedule. If a drop off or pick up is needed, please let us know so we can arrange something! Your pets comfort and safety is our number one priority. We currently live in a large one bedroom apartment with no pets. Although we don’t have a backyard, we enjoy one on one time with the pet we’re caring for and will always try to bring them on mini supervised adventures (mainly walks on trails unless the owner specifies something different!) Ideally we don’t allow dogs to meet with other dogs unless specified. We take care of one pet at a time unless from the same household. If you would like to meet in person beforehand to make sure your pet and us are a good fit, feel free to message us for arrangements.
About: My pet care experience is built on a deep love and respect for both cats and dogs. As a cat owner, I’ve mastered the art of reading feline body language, respecting boundaries, and managing strict hygiene like litter box maintenance. I excel with shy or independent pets, knowing exactly how to give them space until they are comfortable enough to let their active, playful sides shine. When it comes to dogs, my work-from-home schedule makes me the perfect companion. I am experienced in maintaining consistent routines, providing structured potty breaks, and adjusting to different energy levels. Whether your dog is a couch potato who wants to snooze by my desk or an active pup who needs an energetic game of fetch, I am ready to match their vibe. I pride myself on providing a safe, calm, and attentive environment where both cats and dogs can thrive. I currently work from home, which means your pet will have constant companionship and supervision throughout the day! My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to easily maintain your pet's exact feeding routines, keep their environment clean, and provide playtime right when they have those bursts of energy. Your pet’s safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. I strictly follow all instructions regarding locks, alarms, and boundary limits. I ensure hazardous items are out of reach and that doors are securely closed at all times. Because I work from home, my schedule is highly flexible, meaning I can spend plenty of quality daytime hours keeping your pet company. I respect their boundaries completely; if they are shy and need space, I let them do their own thing while I work. I mirror your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to reduce any separation anxiety, and I will send you frequent updates and photos so you have total peace of mind.
“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!”
“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!!”

I’m quick to notice anything unusual and will act promptly if there is ever an emergency. As a pet owner myself, with two cats, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I care for every animal with empathy, patience, and genuine love, and I know how much peace of mind it brings to know your pet is in good hands. We recently moved into a house with a fully fenced backyard, and I’d love to share our home with other pets. They’ll have the option to enjoy the backyard when the weather allows, while also having free access to the house. My own cats love lounging outside and enjoying both the indoor and outdoor spaces. 🏡🐾 I’m new here, but I’d be more than happy to meet in person so we can get to know each other and you can see if I’d be a good fit for your pet. 😊❤️ I’m working from home and happily accepting both dogs and cats! 💖🌸 Since I’m home most of the day, I can provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I can accommodate frequent walks and outdoor time in our fully fenced backyard whenever the weather allows. Pets are also welcome to relax and make themselves comfortable throughout the house, just like they would at home. 🐾 I have a comfortable home with a fully fenced backyard where pets can safely enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time. I have two indoor cats who also love spending time in our fenced backyard, so I’m very comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. I’m happy to welcome cats and dogs into our home and can keep them separated when needed to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I’ll always respect each pet’s individual routine, personality, and boundaries, while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is for every pet staying with us to feel at home, safe, and loved while their family is away. 🐾❤️

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: 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. 😊
About: I specialize exclusively in feline care and do not have experience sitting dogs. I am an experienced cat sitter who provides drop-in visits and in-home care for cats only. If you are looking for a dedicated cat sitter, please see my cat care details below! My current schedule is very open while I study for a career change. I dedicate my mornings and evenings to coursework, leaving my afternoons and weekends completely free for drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. I have plenty of time and attention to give to your fur babies! I care for pets exclusively in their own homes to minimize stress and keep them in their comfort zone. For drop-ins, I ensure litter boxes are clean, water is fresh, and your cat gets plenty of playtime. If you need me to stay for a few hours, I keep doors secure, follow your routine, and provide a calm, safe presence.
“Mandy took such great care of Min and Mocha over the past few days. It was their very first time boarding and I know they can be a handful, but she handled them wonderfully. She kept me updated with all the details and plenty of pictures, which really gave me peace of mind. If I need to board my cats again in the future, I’ll definitely choose Mandy.”

Vivian is amazing, she gave me absolute peace of mind when I went away for two weeks. She followed all of the instructions I left behind and even went above and beyond on certain things. My cat can be quite finicky and doesn’t click with most people but she loved Vivian and I came home to a very happy cat. Thank you again!
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!
Fist time using Rachita’s services as our cat sitter and we will definitely request her services again. I really appreciated the photos & videos sent with each visit along with the details of how our kitties are doing. Thank you for looking after our extended family Rachita!!
