“We were thrilled to arrive home and find our cat in a great mood, happy and healthy. That resulted from the great work Tara did while we were away for two weeks. She was methodical and followed all the instructions to a tee, helped maintain the house in a good state, watered the plants and was professional since the greet and meet! My first choice for the next time, most definitely!”
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.
“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 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.
“Joanna is very sweet and does this for the animals! You can tell her care as she is eager to go the extra mile to make sure they have lots of love and fun. Joanna is also very punctual, and follows instructions well. Any confusion and she will ask, which is what you want.”
“Everything was great. Vivian took good care of my 2 cats, very reliable handled everything as directed and I am very satisfied with her drop in service. Will definitely rebook :)”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time together, I make sure each pet receives the attention and affection they need. I treat every dog as if they were my own and believe in keeping pet parents updated so they have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, loved, and well cared for from the moment they arrive. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for them fits easily into my schedule. Whether it’s sticking to a pet’s regular routine, providing exercise, or offering plenty of love and affection, I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special care requirements. I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their environment clean and safe. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy and well cared for.
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.
About: I have experience caring for family and friends' dogs and cats. I always follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walking, , and routines to make sure each dog is comfortable and well cared for. I have looked after dogs and cats both in the owner's home and in my own home, providing a safe, caring, and reliable environment. I work part time so I can do drop-ins, walking, sitting. I am also able to do boarding in owner's home. I may be able to book outside of my availability so just ask to see if I can accommodate you. I would treat them like family, play with in the backyard and we will have an all-round good time. I also love cuddle time and relaxing with them. Let me know your needs and I will do my best to accommodate your furry family member. I have taken care of both small dogs and high-energy large dogs which have always gone home happy.
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'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.
“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.”
“Isaac and Mildred took great care of our cat while we were away. They played with him a lot and he seems to have had a great time. They went the extra mile by keeping his corner really neat and tidy. I strongly recommend them and hope they will be available the next time we need a sitter.”

About: I will take care of your dog with the help of my family — my mom, Tess, and my sisters, Paula & Ana. Staying with us, your dog will never be alone and would always have the company of a caring family, who have always lived with dogs. We also have a 2.5-yr old, shih tzu, Yuki, who is friendly, playful, and social. Our sibling’s labradoodle, Bella, also stays with us part-time. We live in a bungalow with a spacious, fenced yard.

I work from home, and only go to the office for a maximum of 3 days per week. I can work around my schedule to accommodate your dog. If I am unavailable, I will provide you with the contact information of my family member. We are active, and it’s our habit to walk dogs in our care for at least 3x a day around our 1km block. We will feed your dog according to your instructions. We have dog bowls and filtered drinking water. Dogs will be allowed on furniture, unless you instruct otherwise. We have a crate & extra bed that can fit a small dog. We have a lot of dog toys too!
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.

“Asritha was super helpful with my Loki. Loki immediately got friendly and comfortable with her. She puts in the effort to pay attention to minute details and takes very good care of my dog. Thank you Asritha.”

Alia is simply amazing, so helpful when we were in a pinch and needed someone to watch our two pups on such short notice and on a long weekend to boot! Alia was in touch with us and sent us updates constantly! We will definitely use Alia in a heartbeat again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 6,638 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.
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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
