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! As a pet parent, I fully understand the needs of dogs and the challenge of leaving them at home. I’m passionate about providing love, care, and attention to make pets happy and safe. I hold a professional pet-sitting diploma and a pet first-aid certificate. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I also speak Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese. I'm currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I'll have plenty of time playing with your pups! I am available on the weekdays from 9am-5pm. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs that I can account for, whether they are allergic to anything, medications, are friendly with dogs and people, or any behavioral issues such as separation anxiety.

We had a great experience with Rachita! She did drop-ins for our cat while we were away and she was caring to our kitty, responsible, and a great communicator. She was also super helpful and flexible when we asked her to do a couple other tasks for us. We would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future!

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.

This was our first time leaving Lola completely on her own, and without the company of anyone she knew, so I was naturally worried about how she would be while we were away. Angela totally put my mind at ease, and I knew Lola would be in good hands. Communication was great, and especially appreciated when a “technical issue “ arose. Most important of all, we came home to a happy, healthy kitty. Thank you Angela! 😻

About: I am a passionate animal lover with over ten years of experience in pet care. I've developed a strong bond with animals through caring for my own pets growing up, as well as looking after the pets of friends over the years. I currently have a cat of my own and have cared for pets at all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. I live alone in a spacious 4-bedroom home with a fully fenced backyard, offering a safe and comfortable environment for pets. As I work from home, I am available to care for pets 24/7, ensuring they receive constant attention and love. I work from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. In addition to a fenced backyard, there are several parks just a few minutes away for dog walks. For cats, I have multiple cat trees and perches around the house, providing plenty of space for them to explore and relax during their stay. I work from home and lead an active lifestyle, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with pets while pet sitting. My house is spacious with a fenced backyard, and there are large parks just a few minutes away for dog walks. As a cat mom, I’ve got several cat trees and lots of fun toys for cats to enjoy. When caring for any pet, I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions exactly.

About: I bring over 20 years of hands-on animal care experience, starting with volunteering at Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre, where I worked with a wide range of animals including birds, small mammals, and wildlife in need of rehabilitation. That experience taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to adapt care to each animal’s personality. At home, animals have always been part of my everyday life. I’ve had my own cat for over 14 years, so I’m very familiar with routines like feeding schedules, litter care, and respecting a pet’s need for space (or sudden 3 a.m. zoomies). I also regularly help care for my boyfriend’s dog, so I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping up with energetic pups as well. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality — whether they’re cuddly, shy, independent, or “I only like you on my terms.” My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a crisis worker at SHN hospitals, working about 3 shifts per week. This schedule gives me a lot of flexibility and availability throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Because of this, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs — whether that’s regular walks, drop-ins, or longer stays. I’m reliable, consistent, and able to provide attentive care without rushing. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy spending my extra time with animals, so your pets will always get my full attention and care when I’m with them. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority. I bring years of hands-on animal care experience, including volunteering with a wide range of animals, which has taught me how to stay calm, observant, and responsive in all kinds of situations. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, triggers, and personality to make sure they feel secure and understood in my care. I’m attentive to detail when it comes to feeding, walks, medication instructions (if needed), and general safety. I provide a calm, respectful environment where pets can feel relaxed and at ease — whether that means quiet companionship for more anxious animals or structured activity for energetic ones. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same care, patience, and respect I give my own animals, and I always communicate clearly so you feel confident while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, administering basic medications, and caring for senior pets who need extra attention and gentler routines. I’m also comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time every day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, cleaning, and giving pets attention and companionship. I’m organized and reliable, so I can easily follow specific routines, medication schedules, or care instructions to make sure pets stay comfortable and cared for consistently. I always focus on making pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable in both my home and a client’s home. I pay close attention to routines, behaviour, feeding instructions, and any special needs to reduce stress for the pet. I keep environments clean, secure, and pet-friendly, making sure doors, gates, and unsafe items are monitored carefully. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I have been surrounded by animals of all kinds my entire life. I was raised helping my mom care for foster animals from our local rescue, for the past 5 years I have worked in animal care as a veterinary assistant, and I have been servicing clients on Rover for almost 10 years now. I have experience working at an animal rescue center where I was trained in animal behaviour. Meaning, I am comfortable around animals of various temperaments including extremely nervous and/or reactive dogs and cats. I have an understanding of basic positive reinforcement training provided which allows me to feel comfortable redirecting and rewarding your pets behaviours as needed. I have spent the past 5 years working as a veterinary assistant, specifically in emergency medicine and surgery. I have worked with cats, dogs and horses! I am working towards a career as a registered veterinary technician. Because of this, I am comfortable administering medication and can closely observe your pets health during our time together to make sure they are comfortable and healthy. My passion is animal welfare. I have dedicated my whole life to spending as much time with animals as I can. From horseback riding lessons, to helping my mom with foster kittens, to now dedicating a career in veterinary medicine. I am comfortable and confident with all breeds and behaviours. I am always happy to meet in person before booking a service and providing as many updates as you wish while with your pet. Do not hesitate to ask any questions, I want to make your experience with me as comfortable and clear as possible! I am currently unemployed and am available almost any time or day. I try to keep my calendar as updated as possible but do not hesitate to reach out to verify. When booking a service with me, the first thing I do is clarify any rules and restrictions you have for your pet and/or your home. The first service with your pet can sometimes be stressful since I am a new person. For that reason I like to do a meet and greet before if possible, and I want to try to stick to the same routine you have with your pet.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Scarborough

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Scarborough on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 6,229 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Scarborough. About 86% of Scarborough sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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.

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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
