“I’m lucky to have found Danielle! I have a senior chihuahua who needs a little extra care and patience with her drop in visits (she is mostly blind and deaf), and now I can rest easy knowing she is safe in Danielle hands. She is very caring and communicative. I will continue to use her services :)”
“Tatiana was absolutely amazing! From the first meet up to exchange keys Norman was instantly obsessed! Knowing he was happy and comfortable eased my anxiety. Through out her check-ins I got so many videos and pictures. She kept me very informed. I appreciate her care for Norman!! Will be booking again!”
About: With 9 years of hands-on pet care experience and a dog and cat of my own, I understand what pets need to feel safe and comfortable away from home. I'm attentive to each animal's unique personality and routine, ensuring they get the same love and care I give my own. Your pet isn't just a booking they're family. As a freelance remote worker, pet care fits seamlessly into my everyday life. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, I have open availability throughout the day meaning pets in my care are never left alone for long stretches. I'm always nearby to offer walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles on a consistent schedule. My lifestyle is built around being present, which makes caring for your pet feel less like a side job and more like a natural part of my day. I am also lucky to be surrounded by an abundance of green space and dog parks, with the Kay Beltline Trail right at my doorstep making every walk an adventure your pup will love. When caring for pets in your home, my approach is always attentive, consistent, and loving. I understand that familiar surroundings make a big difference — especially for pets who are anxious or routine-driven. I follow each pet's established schedule closely, from feeding times to walks and playtime, so they feel calm and comfortable while you're away. As a remote freelancer with open availability, I'm never rushing in and out. I dedicate real, unhurried time to every pet in my care, treating your home and your animal with the same respect and attention I'd give my own.
“We had such a great experience with Amber. She is precise, consistent and really cares about dogs and her job. She goes above and beyond and listens to our needs. Will be using her consistently as she has helped us so much and Evie loves having the mid day visits.”
“Gabrielle is wonderful! She is wonderfully responsive, kind and caring. She took great care of my precious pets and sent wonderful updates throughout the time. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Svetlana was kind, quick to respond, and did a wonderful job with drop-in visits for our two cats while we were away for the week. We felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands and would happily book with her again.”
“This was Hoora and Mehrdad's first time caring for Dorian. He's a placid cat, but shy and wary of strangers, especially men, so I thought he might hide every time they came. But by the second visit, Dorian was greeting them at the door and playing happily with both. They were great at keeping me up to date with pictures, video, and notes, and they also left everything so neat and clean that I never would have known anyone had been in while I was away. I returned to a stress-free cat and a clean, tidy home--what a pleasure! I'll definitely be booking with Mehrdad and Hoora again.”
About: I have been a foster for assistance dog training programs in both Ontario and BC for over six years (PADS, Lions Foundation Dog Guides). My dogs have become assistance dogs for the deaf, underprivileged, and others. I have several years of training with these programs, which has educated me on providing exceptional care. Most importantly, I offer a home with gentle energy that allows dogs to feel comfortable and secure. I currently foster a very cute two year old Labrador. I am retired, so my schedule is wide open, allowing me to provide care for your pet, even at a moment's notice. I will not take on two dog sitting requests at the same time, allowing me to focus on your pet. I have a very pet friendly dog who will gently play with yours. I am wide open to your requests, covering the specific needs your dog may have.
“Setareh, thank you so much for looking after Cora and Cheri while we were away. You were so kind and thoughtful to them and even though we were away only for a couple of nights, you kept us updated throughout and it was easy to see why the girls loved you so much 💕”
“I think my cat Pippi just forgot about me. She took care of her soooo well, my cat had really good time. Being on time, perfect communication, nothing needs to worry. Whenever she sent me photos, my cat was jumping on air, shining eyes, just so happy cat. But dear, don't forget me..”
“Jane and her mom helped us take care of our cat Adel while we were away for almost a week. They were very attentive, punctual and neat. Can't thank them enough, and Adel is looking forward to seeing them again.”
“Valeria provided great care for my beloved cat Kevin when I was out of town. She is a very attentive and caring personality. Me and Kevin had a great experience and would highly recommend Valeria's services!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I have over 5 years of pet care experience, including raising my own beagle for the past 4 years before moving to Toronto. Through that experience, I became very comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and giving pets the patience and attention they need to feel safe and comfortable. Since moving to Toronto, I’ve continued caring for pets in both Toronto and Montreal, helping owners with reliable sitting, walks, and companionship while they’re away. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when it comes to pet care, and I always treat every pet like family. - 5+ years caring for dogs and cats - Caring for 1 pet at a time so your pet has my full attention - Experience with puppies, seniors, and different breeds - work from home and can give your pet all my attention - Daily photo updates - Building has its own garden - Close to dog parks and walking routes - Active on both Rover and Pawshake Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule.

I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment by moving at their pace, especially with cats, who often need patience and calm energy to warm up. I keep the home clean and respected at all times, especially around feeding areas and litter boxes, and I’m attentive to details like fresh water, tidy spaces, and making sure doors and windows are secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away.
“This was my first time using Lauren and I definitely would again! The cats can be a little standoffish but from the beginning they were comfortable with Lauren - she has great energy with animals. Her background as a vet tech was a huge asset as she had no issues administering twice-daily medication for Maisie. She was very communicative and I knew the girls were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

Alaia was fantastic tending to my mom’s 2 senior cats while she was on vacation (and on fairly short notice). Her detailed updates kept us reassured that they were very well taken care of. She was also able to administer twice daily medication to one of the cats with ease. We highly recommend Alaia and would definitely use her services again!
Georgia and her mother Alissa were absolutely amazing while taking care of my two cats during my vacation in Nova Scotia. They gave me complete peace of mind by sending daily text updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was clear my cats were safe, happy, and very well cared for. They went above and beyond by picking up a Litter Genie I had ordered from Amazon and even setting it up for me. When I returned home, my place was very clean and everything was in great shape. Georgia showed a lot of responsibility, maturity, and kindness, and Alissa was just as thoughtful and helpful. I’m extremely grateful for the care they provided and would highly recommend Georgia and Alissa to anyone looking for trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate pet care.
Albina was wonderful with our cat Lulu. She arrived on time, followed all instructions carefully, and even spent extra time playing with Lulu, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing Lulu was in such kind and reliable hands. We would happily recommend Albina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
I think my cat Pippi just forgot about me. She took care of her soooo well, my cat had really good time. Being on time, perfect communication, nothing needs to worry. Whenever she sent me photos, my cat was jumping on air, shining eyes, just so happy cat. But dear, don't forget me..
Erin has babysat my fur kids (kitties) a few times now. I can't emphasize enough how fantastic she is. She is so kind and loving to my kitties, and even my shy boy is drawn out to her for play time and cuddles. Erin sends the BEST updates with photos and videos. She gives me so much peace when I'm away from home. I cannot recommend her enough.

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.

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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
