“Yi-Chen was very professional, kind, and easy to work with. She also provided us with more photos than other sitters, which helped put our minds at ease while away from our cat Lucy.”

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: 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 and flexibility. 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.
About: I've always been surrounded by pets through family and friends, which has given me plenty of experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. In addition to daily care, I have experience working on basic training and teaching dogs simple tricks and commands. I enjoy helping dogs practice skills such as sit, stay, come, down, paw, and other basic manners through positive reinforcement, patience, and consistency. Whether your dog is still learning or simply needs practice with commands they already know, I'm happy to incorporate training into our time together. Whether it's going for walks, playing games, practicing training, or simply giving lots of cuddles and attention, I love helping dogs feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, engaged, and loved while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I make it a priority to follow each dog's established routine, including feeding times, walks, play sessions, potty breaks, medication schedules, and downtime. Consistency is important, and I strive to make your pet's day feel as normal and stress-free as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions provided and maintain a calm, attentive environment where pets can feel secure. I understand that trust is important when leaving your pet in someone else's care, so I communicate clearly, follow routines closely, and ensure pets receive the attention, supervision, and affection they need throughout their stay.

I have a very flexible schedule and am able to take jobs with 1 day notice for any time slot during the day that is required. I have plenty of experience with dog and cat sitting, walking, playing, and enrichment. I have no doubt that your pet will have fun and get some exercise with me.

About: I have always had two dogs in my family at all times for as long as I can remember, always helped in training and taking care of them, as an animal lover/owner I know it can be tough being away from them that’s why I want to make sure there is clear communication so you don’t have to worry about your animal while they are with me :) I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8-4 but beyond that I have flexible availability to help with any animal or home needs. Depending on location I can also possibly stop by for small visits if close to my place of work. I can follow any instructions given by an owner to make sure they feel comfortable with how their dog is being cared for, I always follow leash safety rules and try to avoid dog parks, but trails are always fun I find for the dogs
About: In my pet care experience, I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment where animals can thrive. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s training energetic puppies or providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets, I adapt my methods to ensure every furry friend feels comfortable and cherished. One of my special skills is training puppies, using positive reinforcement techniques to instill good behavior and strengthen the bond between owner and pet. I understand the importance of consistency and patience in fostering healthy habits from a young age. Additionally, I have extensive experience in senior pet care, including administering medication, providing gentle exercise, and offering companionship to ease any anxiety or discomfort. I recognize the significance of maintaining routines and adapting care plans as pets age, ensuring they receive the attention and support they deserve in their golden years. Overall, my commitment to compassionate care, coupled with my expertise in training puppies and caring for senior pets, distinguishes me as a reliable and dedicated pet sitter. I take pride in creating enriching experiences for both pets and their owners, fostering trusting relationships built on mutual respect and affection. As someone who is not employed, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, enriching my life with purpose and joy. My schedule revolves around providing attentive care and companionship to furry friends, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Each day begins with a morning routine focused on feeding, walking, and engaging in playtime with the pets under my care. I prioritize their needs, whether it’s administering medication, practicing training exercises, or simply offering cuddles and affection. Throughout the day, I maintain regular check-ins to ensure the well-being of the animals, incorporating additional walks, outdoor excursions, or interactive toys to keep them stimulated and happy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll through the park or a cozy afternoon spent lounging together, I dedicate quality time to building trusting relationships with each pet. In the evenings, I wind down with soothing activities such as grooming, gentle massage, or quiet snuggle sessions, fostering a sense of calm and relaxation for both myself and the pets. Bedtime rituals include ensuring comfortable sleeping arrangements and providing reassurance for any anxious or restless animals. On a weekly basis, I prioritize tasks such as grooming, vet appointments, and replenishing supplies to maintain the health and well-being of the pets in my care. Additionally, I allocate time for ongoing training and enrichment activities, fostering mental stimulation and physical fitness for continued growth and development. Overall, pet care is not just a responsibility but a fulfilling passion that shapes my daily and weekly routine. By providing unconditional love and support to animals, I find purpose and fulfillment in creating meaningful connections and enriching lives, both theirs and mine Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are paramount in my approach to dog walking. I understand that entrusting your beloved furry companion to someone else requires a high level of confidence and peace of mind. That’s why I prioritize creating a safe and secure environment for every dog in my care. Safety is always my top priority. I meticulously assess walking routes to avoid busy streets and potential hazards, ensuring each outing is both enjoyable and risk-free. Additionally, I adhere to leash laws and maintain control over the dogs at all times, mitigating any potential conflicts or accidents. Trust is the foundation of my relationship with both the dogs and their owners. I cultivate open communication and transparency, providing regular updates and feedback to keep owners informed and reassured. By building trust through consistent reliability and professionalism, I strive to become a valued and trusted partner in their pet care journey. Environment plays a crucial role in fostering a positive experience for dogs during walks. I seek out peaceful, natural settings where dogs can explore, exercise, and engage their senses freely. Whether it’s a serene trail through the woods or a lively park filled with exciting sights and smells, I tailor each walk to cater to the unique preferences and energy levels of the dogs in my care. In essence, my dog walking profile revolves around creating a nurturing environment where safety is upheld, trust is earned, and dogs can thrive both physically and emotionally. By providing attentive care, fostering open communication, and prioritizing the well-being of every furry friend, I aim to deliver a dog walking experience that exceeds expectations and brings joy to both dogs and their owners alike.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have one dog at home, while my other dog lives with my parents — so I'm very used to caring for multiple dogs in different settings. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, administering medication, basic training reinforcement, and senior dog care. Working from home means I can give constant attention and stick to your pet's usual routine. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, quiet companionship, or careful supervision, I have the experience and flexibility to provide it. I work from home full-time, so I’m around all day to care for pets. I currently have one dog living with me. Since I’m always home, I can offer frequent walks, playtime, feeding on schedule, and just company so no pet ever feels lonely or anxious. I have one friendly dog at home and work remotely, so I can supervise all pet interactions closely. I also provide quiet, separate spaces if a pet needs a break. Because I care for my other dog at my parents’ place, I’m experienced with making pets feel comfortable in different home settings.

About: Hi, I'm Liam! I'm a lifelong dog lover based in Toronto.,Scarborough. Back home in China, I share my life with two amazing dogs — a Border Collie and a Labrador — so I'm very comfortable with both high-energy pups and big, cuddly companions. I've also worked as a pet flight nanny, accompanying pets on flights from Toronto to New York. That experience taught me how to keep animals calm, safe, and happy even in unfamiliar or stressful situations. I live in a top-floor apartment with lovely parks nearby — perfect for long walks and playtime. Whether your dog is here for boarding, daycare, or just a midday walk, they'll get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I also send lots of photo and video updates, so you'll always know how your pup is doing. I'm a part-time working student at UTSC, and I'd love to spend time with your pups when I'm available! I'm generally available full days on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends, plus Monday afternoons after 3:00 PM. I live in a condo by myself, and my community has lots of gardens and open spaces to play. There are many pet owners live here too, so our pups can enjoy playdates together!

It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
