“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!”
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: 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 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!”

“Sugar is generally good, but after her time with Clinton she was downright bouncy (this is a 13 yr old min. poodle with permanently dislocated hips)! She has always hated being groomed, but because of MY arthritis I cant clip her nails or trim her fur. Thankfully, she will cheerfully put up with anything Clinton does. He also makes sure tonplay with her after so things always endnon a positive note.”
“Vivian was absolutely amazing with our cat! She was extremely kind, patient and helpful. This was our first time using Rover and Vivian made it seamless. We felt so comfortable leaving our cat with Vivian- and were so appreciative of the photos and updates she provided. Thankful to have had Vivian’s help while we were away!”
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: 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.
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. Currently, I prefer to care for one pet at a time, but this may increase to two on weekends or WFH day. I only accept small puppies.
“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.”
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've lived with cats all my life and have harness trained/advised on harness training three cats so far. While I have less experience with dogs, I have worked with them before. I am quite small, so I can only walk a couple of dogs, and cannot walk larger dogs. I've also recently gained experience with some more exotic species, so don't be afraid to reach out if you've got more than dogs or cats! I tend to have either evenings or mornings free, so I'm looking for something to fill the time before going to my day job. I also have a few days off a week where I'm more free to drop in any time! My backyard is fenced, and in the past my cats had supervised time outside, as well as walks. I follow owner's instructions, as not every animal is as exploratory as my cats were, and owners know their pets best.
“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: 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 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

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
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Scarborough on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 6,568 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.
