About: 😼 🐶STC Area Specialist I provide low stress pet care with attention to hygiene and emotional comfort. During visits, I focus on respecting boundaries, maintaining routines, and observing appetite, litter box habits, and behavior changes—especially for shy or indoor cats. Pet care is my main focus, which allows me to stay flexible while keeping visits consistent and on time. I limit bookings so each visit is calm, unhurried, and centered around your cat’s routine. I provide low-stress pet care guided by canine & feline behavior and body-language awareness. I focus on calm interactions, home safety, and gentle enrichment based on each pet’s comfort level—especially for shy or indoor cats.
About: I've joined the volunteer which is to take care of the stray dogs that live on the mountain. I also have a dog, a bichon fraise. He is now three years old. I've had him since he's three months old. I really like to play with dogs, I often feel like I can really be good friend with dogs. I am now a full time student study at UofT Scarborough. I have classes during week day. But on the weekend. I'm not very busy. I will be very careful of what they are eating and also be very careful on their behavior. I won't let them get loose while walking and also keep them away from the cars.
“Clinton was very good with Ginger and she clearly enjoyed her walks with him. Clinton was professional and communicative regarding walk details and scheduling. He provided photos of Ginger every day. We would be glad to have him walk Ginger in the future.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my unwavering dedication to ensuring your pet's happiness, well-being, and safety. I provide exceptional care, love, and attention, treating your furry friend as if they were a cherished member of my own family. With specialized skills in areas such as puppy training and senior pet care, I go the extra mile to meet your pet's unique needs and preferences, creating a truly exceptional pet sitting experience you won't find elsewhere. Being currently fully remote work and an early riser, I possess a highly adaptable and flexible schedule that aligns perfectly with the needs of both pets and their owners. My unemployment status means that I can dedicate ample time and attention to caring for your beloved pets, ensuring they receive the care, love, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Moreover, my early morning routine enables me to kickstart each day with a sense of responsibility, ensuring that your pets' morning routines, including feeding and exercise, are promptly and reliably attended to. With my flexible schedule and commitment to the well-being of animals, you can trust that your pets will receive exceptional care under my watch. In my condo, I designate a specific area for the pet with all their essentials, ensuring they have a cozy bed, food, water, and a litter box (for cats). Regular walks and play sessions in nearby pet-friendly areas provide exercise and stimulation. Additionally, I follow condo regulations, maintain noise control, and keep common areas clean. When caring for pets in a client's condo, I prioritize understanding their pet's routine and any specific guidelines while adhering to condo regulations and ensuring the pet feels secure and comfortable in the unfamiliar setting. Effective communication with the client and responsible pet care practices are essential for a positive experience in both scenarios.
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.
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.
“Tara was patient and professional on her first of what we hope to be many future walks. She is very reliable, pleasant and punctual. Thank you for taking such good care of Milo.”

About: I'm a Nurse, so calm-under-pressure and close attention to detail are basically my job description — and that carries right over into how I care for pets. I'm comfortable with medication schedules, mobility issues, post-surgery recovery, and knowing when something's "off" and worth a vet call versus not. My husband and I care for pets together — he's dog CPR certified, and has raised six dogs of his own from puppy to senior years, so he's seen it all: teething, training, arthritis, end-of-life care. He usually handles walks and meal prep, so your dog gets a consistent routine and someone who genuinely enjoys the daily stuff, not just the cuddles. Between the two of us, we've also got two dogs of our own at home — a 6-year-old Boxer/Bully mix and a 13-year-old Corgi/Terrier mix — so we know both ends of the spectrum: high-energy young dogs and senior dogs who need a gentler pace. Your pet gets treated like they’re part of the pack. Right now I'm off assignment until November, so I'm home full-time and available pretty much any day. My husband also works from home, so between the two of us there's basically always someone around for potty breaks, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day — not just early morning and evening like a typical 9-5 household. Believe it or not, I treat pets better than humans 🤣 it's embarrassing to say it but they give you unconditional love, so why not give unconditional love back? We've got a 4,000+ sq ft backyard with a hill for the energetic dogs to run up and over and really burn off steam, plus a park right in the neighbourhood for extra walks and exploring. Whether your dog needs a big open space to zoom around or a calmer stroll nearby, we've got options.
About: I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities, and I love creating a calm, welcoming space where they can settle in comfortably. I’m home most days, so your pet gets plenty of attention, company, and consistency throughout their stay. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and at home with me. My home has a spacious lounge and a bright sunroom that’s perfect for relaxing, playing or simply soaking up the sun. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, larger dogs, seniors and pets that need a little extra support. I can also give oral medication or medication mixed with food when clear instructions are provided. I usually take dogs out 2–3 times a day for around 20–40 minutes, with shorter or longer walks depending on their age, energy level and usual routine. There are plenty of quiet residential streets, green spaces and nearby walking areas for safe, relaxed walks. I’m usually home throughout the day, so pets are rarely left alone. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just a peaceful place to nap, I’ll make sure they have a safe, cozy, affectionate and home-like stay while you’re away. ❤️🐾 I’m usually home throughout the day, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles and keeping pets company throughout their stay.

There are no children in the home, and pets are rarely left alone. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure food, medication and any special instructions are handled carefully.

“Rachita has been available last minute to help us out and very prompt when answering requests. We don’t have to worry when she’s taking care of our dog. He can be a handful sometimes but he quickly warmed up to Rachita and we have quickly become repeat clients. Thank you to Rachita and her husband.”

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

Amy has been a lifesaver. I was injured and needed a dog walker ASAP. Amy accommodated me immediately and was flexible, allowing the walking schedule to change as I dealt with next steps for injury. She is punctual, kind, goes above and beyond to be helpful, is loving and very quickly loved by new dogs, adapts to meet my specific asks on how to handle the dog and is generally just an amazing person. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her strongly.

Jannica is an EXCELLENT dog walker. She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable in her approach and her demeanour is kind but firm, something our little Doogie could use. When she first started with us, Doogie was working through some walk-anxiety after Canada Day fireworks but Jannica worked diligently with us and the methods we were using. Today Doogie is walking like a champ! Jannica is very understanding and reliable, and someone we hope to lean on for a long time. I would highly, highly recommend.

Jayneigh was a great help for walking our sweet golden while he stayed at my mum’s house. Since my mum is not able to walk him, Jayneigh helped give us the peace we needed to go away for a few days, knowing that our dog was getting the walks he needed while also staying in a familiar environment. Jayneigh is kind, capable and reliable. We thank her so much!!!

Angela was an amazing dog walker for Luca! She was reliable, caring, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention during his walks. Luca was always happy and relaxed after his walks, and it was clear he really enjoyed spending time with her. I highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker. Thank you so much, Angela! 🐾😊

Jennifer is an amazing dog walker! She is very friendly, reliable, and attentive to my dogs’ needs. I have her walk my dogs on a regular basis each week, and she has always been extremely helpful and caring. My dogs absolutely love her and are always excited to see her. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!

Rahul is very punctual and kind. He successfully walked our 80 pound husky, Bubba, who has a tendency to pull and get over excited around other dogs. Rahul asked necessary questions to ensure a successful walk. Bubba immediately took to Rahul’s friendly demeanour as well. It was so nice having Rahul as our first dog walker. We look forward to requesting him again in the future!

I can’t recommend Viven enough! She’s an amazing walker and my dogs absolutely love her. She’s incredibly efficient, reliable, and always quick to respond — even to my late overseas messages and last-minute requests. Thank you so much, Viven, for helping make sure the girls get their walkies. Koko and Skie have a new friend now, and we’re so grateful for you! 💛🐾
