“This was my first time ever using a sitter or being away from my kitten for a long period of time since getting him so I was naturally pretty nervous but Vivian did amazing! She sent lots of photos so I could see he was doing well and was very attentive to the care instructions so I felt comforted during my week away. Would definitely book with her again.”

“We left our 2 young cats in Tiffany's care for 10 days while on vacation. She did an excellent job caring for them and making sure we were always updated with texts, photos and videos! We really liked how punctual and reliable she was, good with communication and updating us on everything. Our kitties seemed to really like her and had lots of fun playing together. We'd definitely recommend Tiffany if you're looking for someone to care for your cats.”

About: I have over 10 years of experience with my own calm small dog Sir (10.5 years old, 20lbs, never destructive). I work from home, so your dog is rarely left alone. I only take one boarding dog at a time. My home has no kids, no cats. Dogs stay off furniture and bed. I follow your routine closely. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I do two longer walks each day (morning and late afternoon). During the day, I can also offer quick potty breaks in between if your dog needs them. I follow the owner’s feeding and walking schedule closely. Since I only take one boarding dog at a time, your dog gets plenty of attention without being overwhelmed. Evenings are calm and quiet — perfect for dogs who like routine and rest. My home is calm, clean, and safe for small dogs. I do not have a fenced yard, but I take dogs out on a leash for potty breaks every 3–4 hours. I only take one boarding dog at a time, so I can supervise closely. There are no kids, no cats, and no other pets besides my calm senior dog Sir. I keep all cleaning products and small objects out of reach. Your dog is never left unsupervised outside or with Sir unless we are sure they get along.
“Joanna is just the best! She checked in on my two boys daily while I was out of town for a week. She was so thorough with understanding their needs and made sure they were given lots of love and playtime at each drop-in visit, in addition to feeding them, changing their water, and emptying their litter box. You won’t find a better petsitter! I’d give ten stars if I could!”

“Clinton gave us detailed updates with humor and diligence. When the shy cat would not emerge he made an effort to find him to see if he was okay. He also noted the amount of food that was left which helped us to make meal plan decisions for finicky felines.”

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: I’ve been caring for my family’s black Labrador mix for the past 3 years. Taking care of dogs has taught me patience and responsibility, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. I can help with walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. My schedule is flexible throughout most of the week except Wednesdays. I have plenty of time to care for pets, including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them attention and companionship. I treat every pet with patience and care, just like my own dog at home. I always try to create a safe and calm environment and follow any instructions carefully from pet owners.

About: I have house/pet sat for many years. Started providing the service for family then moved onto to working for my friends cat sitting business. I love animals and would take care of your dog like they were my own. References available. I currently live in Scarborough but am downtown a lot so am pretty flexible about where I can do walks/drop ins. Hours are pretty flexible as well Cant wait to meet you and your dog(s). I do not take the responsibility lightly as I know dogs are part of the family. I had a maltese and shih tzu when I was younger and I miss them dearly. Please get in touch if you're looking for someone responsible and mature to help you with your dog(s) thank you Amanda
About: For me, pets are not just another being living at home but a part of family. Hence, I patiently learn, understand their character and needs so that I can provide the required care accordingly. As I am currently a stay at home wife, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I ensure regular feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping a clean, secure space. I build trust with lots of love, regular meals, and playtime, using pet-friendly products to keep everything healthy.
“Amir was an absolute pleasure and a true gentleman to deal with. He made everything easy and stress-free, from clear communication to punctual updates. I really appreciated that he notified me in the morning on the day of each visit, letting me know exactly when he’d be arriving. Although my cat Chloe is a very shy girl and chose to hide under the bed during all the visits, Amir was incredibly respectful and understanding of her boundaries. His calm and gentle approach was just what she needed, and I felt reassured while on vacation knowing she was in good hands. I will certainly use his services again and highly recommend Amir to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional pet sitter!”

“Hey Melisa! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Chomchom this weekend! I appreciate how clear your communication is and how much dedication and pride you take in your work! I would highly recommend you to everyone!”

About: Im Sree, lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. We can do walks, hikes, swimming, even to a play day at the park, I am sure I will pamper your pooch. I work from home so your baby will get non stop attention. My days start early, so drop off and pickup times are pretty flexible. I live in a house with a fenced yard and friendly neighbours. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy.

About: I've had ample of time taking care of pets through my experience dog walking my relatives cute dog Seb ever since he was 2 years old. He's so full of energy and would always chase down every moving object within a 10 metre distance. Having to rangle such a small force of energy has primed me to being an exceptional dog walker and overall dog sitter. I'm currently unemployed and have ample of free time to invest into pet sitting. I can do weekdays and weekends full-time and I'm willing to take short term or long term petsitting jobs. I act accordingly to the level of comfort that the pet displays in order to ensure the pet doesn't feel threatened and feels cared for. I take into consideration the eating schedule of the pet along with the times of the day they go on walks. I provide services such as handling litter box clean up, picking up dog poop, filling up feeding bowls, changing water bowls, playing with dog/cat toys and so on.
“Jen was amazing with my dog. Had her scheduled for a year, and was always reliable and friendly. I'd highly recommend her for anyone looking for a walker, or someone to care for their pet!”

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: 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. 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! I work with a certified dog trainer and am learning how to gently correct reactive and disobedient behavior. I’ve hand raised my pup to be affectionate, obedient and playful. Training starts young, positive reenforcement with lots of love and structure are the key to having the dog you want. Your dog will always be welcome in my pack. 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 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.
About: I am living at a condo and have no dog home with me. With five years of Pomeranian care experience and a background in early childhood education, I offer personalized, loving, and reliable pet care in a cozy, stress-free home. I ensure comfort, routine, and regular updates to support pet well-being. I walk them every 6:00 am and 6:00 pm when I need to go to the office. I am outdoor person, can take your pet for trail or camping during weekends. I live alone in a condo with one bedroom, an empty den, and a spacious living room. My puppy is living with my parents currently. My condo is in a small, pet-friendly environment, providing a welcoming space for little ones to explore. I will also offer daily video updates and phone check-ins for both indoor and outdoor activity time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scarborough
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 6,477 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Scarborough. About 87% 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.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
