“Angela was beyond wonderful. Our cat, Mina, has medical needs which make it a challenge for others to watch her. Angela went above and beyond in helping her feel comfortable and was able to tend to her needs. She truly cared for Mina as if she were her own. Could not recommend Angela more. ❤️”

About: I've been taking care of my mother's pets ever since I was 6 but I really started once I started highschool, I helped take care of her first dog Linda until she passed, and was taking care of her new dog Bella up until I came back to Canada. I am currently looking for employment so I have plenty of time to kill. I can work almost every day from 9 am to midnight I have a nice large backyard for pets to play in and relax, and can block off parts of the home if needed when petsitting.
About: The most important thing to me is the health of your pet. That they are healthy, stimulated and most importantly happy. Your dog is not just a pet, they are your family member who deserves love and respect. A walk is not just to have your dog go out. It is an opportunity to let your dog explore the world, to work on obedient walking, and to gently correct any reactive behavior. I am actively engaged with your dog the entire walk: no distractions, lots of updates and all the attention to make sure they are hydrated, motivated and satisfied when they return home. Training starts young, positive reenforcement with lots of love and structure are the key to having the dog you want. I always carry treats, water, poop bags, an extra leash and tick removal tweezers on every walk. I also have in my car no rinse shampoo and a towel for if your pooch enjoys a little too much environmental play. Does your fur-baby want a fur companion? My dog Tomba is always up for a walk with his mommy and friends! My dog is a high maintenance prince. Bathing, drying, brushing is a weekly routine for us. Owners at my local dog park know that when I’m there, their dog might get a free spa brushing. I offer one on one private grooming services if your dog needs a freshen up! Your dog will always be welcome in my pack. I encourage booking a meet and greet first to see if your pet feels secure with me and to create an initial bond. Meet and greets are always free, even if it doesn’t work out 👍🏻 I can’t wait to meet you and your fur-baby! I’m attempting to transition my career into the dog world. My dog has brought so much to my life that I want to give the same loyalty and care to all dogs and owners who need help. I will pour all my energy into your dog! I am available any weekday and most weekends with notice. My pup is comfortable accompanying me on my journeys or chilling at home while mama works. We use puppy gates at home so I am always mindful of enclosures. Obedience is a life long practice for your dog. I will enforce all limits you have in place to uphold and teach your pooch to stay calm and happy throughout our time together.
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.
“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!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Rachita! She was very punctual and consistently kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our cat was clearly well cared for. I recommend Rachita's services to anyone looking for the reliable sitter!”
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: 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.
“Stephanie was great from the beginning, very quick to answer and it looks like my cat Fluffy enjoyed her daily visits while we were away! She sent me lots of pictures and videos everyday and I was confident my cat was in good hands! Thank-you again!”
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.

About: Hi! I’m Jennifer from Scarborough, a professional pet sitter with experience providing boarding, drop-in visits and dog walking to your fur family! I became a super pet lover after having my first Labrador Retriever as a child, and now I own a Labrador again-my little bundle of joy who keeps me on my toes every day!

“Thanks a ton, Melissa for taking care of our family member when we were away. We felt very comfortable and relaxed leaving juju in your hands. You definitely are an amazing find and we are very much content in your professionalism. I'm happy that you have established a very strong bond with her now and that takes a lot of stress of our shoulders for future short visits. We highly recommend your companionship for every other fur babies.”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Scarborough stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Scarborough choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. 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. 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. 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.
