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.
“Summer was so friendly when she arrived to walk our 2 dogs. When they came back from their walk, she was quick and professional to wrap up. Would definitely hire her again! Thanks Summer!”
About: Not all pet care is created equal and neither are the people providing it. I bring years of hands-on experience working with dogs at every life stage, from puppies as young as 8 weeks old to senior dogs with complex needs. Whether your pup is brand new to the world or slowing down with age, they’re in experienced, knowledgeable hands. As a dog trainer, I understand behaviour and body language at a level most walkers simply don’t. That means I can read your dog, respond to their needs, and keep every outing safe and positive. What I offer that most sitters can’t: • 🎓 Dog Trainer: behaviour-informed care every visit • 🐣 Puppy experience from 8 weeks: gentle, developmental-stage-aware handling • 🐾 Senior dog care: patience, modified pacing, and extra attentiveness • 💊 Medication administration: oral, topical, and more • 🚑 Canine first aid certified: trained to respond calmly in any situation • 📸 Real-time photo updates every visit Your dog isn’t just being watched. They’re being cared for by someone who truly knows dogs. Pet care isn’t something I fit in around other things, it’s the heart of what I do. I structure my days around my clients, which means your pet is never an afterthought. Morning, midday, and evening availability allows me to accommodate a variety of routines and schedules, and I keep my client list intentionally small so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, with advance booking recommended to secure your preferred times, especially for recurring walks or multi-day care. This is a boutique service by design. Limited spots mean more presence, more consistency, and a better experience for your pet. When I enter your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I give your pet. Every visit begins with a thorough check of the environment, including doors, windows, gates, and any potential hazards, so your pet is secure from the moment I arrive. For walkers and flight-risk dogs, I take extra precautions with leash checks and secure exits before we ever step outside. Your home is left exactly as I found it. I follow your routines, respect your space, and never cut corners because consistency and trust are the foundation of exceptional pet care. What you can always count on: • 🔒 Secure environment check every single visit • 📋 Your pet’s routine followed to the letter • 📸 Photo updates so you have eyes on your pet from anywhere • 🚑 Canine or feline first aid certified. I’m prepared for any situation • 💊 Medication administered safely and on schedule if needed • 🏠 Your home left clean, secure, and exactly as you left it Whether you’re at work, traveling, or simply need a midday check-in, you’ll never have to wonder. You’ll know.
“Sinead provided Meowy with excellent care during their drop in visits. She arrived promptly, gave Meowy her food and antibiotics, cleaned the litter box and sent the cutest check in photo of meowy playing with her wand toy. I would be happy to re-book with Sinead in future and can confidently recommend her services.”
“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!”
“You are amazing Thank you so much for going above and beyond in caring for my two corgis Peace of mind they were taken care of Fantastic to work with highly recommend and will rebook !!!”
“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.”
“Prerna went above and beyond to care for our cat, Andrew! She followed instructions perfectly, left detailed notes after each visit, and was incredibly responsive, which gave us peace of mind. She was also flexible and accommodating when we needed an extra visit. The updates and photos showed how happy and comfortable Andrew was, and we returned to a relaxed, content cat. Highly recommend Prerna for reliable and loving pet care. Thank you so much for everything!”
About: I am honoured to have been trusted with the care and custodianship of cherished pets, furry, scaly, and slimey, since I was a young child, which has given me invaluable experience and skill. Whether you need occasional help with walks, feeding, or sitting while you are away, I'm your gal! I've also got lots of exotic pet experience (I have three bunnies myself, and many aquaria) as well as experience caring for diverse houseplants and gardens. I pride myself in meeting the needs of even the most specialized critters, big or small, and look forward to providing the best experience for your pets, especially those that need a little extra love. I will make my schedule work with yours and look forward to talking soon! I am a mechanical engineering student, so my schedule is very flexible. I walk, cycle, and TTC, so no need for parking! I love having the opportunity to integrate furry friends into my routine. I am a seasoned carer for my three buns (dusty, soup, and drosophila), gerbil (miso), leopard gecko (artemis), and have had many hamsters. I maintain several freshwater aquaria with my partner, and have TONS of plants. I will follow your specifications and requests to a tee, and can be contacted on my cell whenever you need. I am also seasoned in housekeeping, should that be a plus!
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. This allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping them company. I’m able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never rushed. I also enjoy spending quiet time with animals, so providing attentive and reliable care is something I genuinely look forward to each week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. 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.
“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 💕”
“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.”
“Tatiana was amazing with Murphy - who can be a bit aggressive at times. She took the time to get to know him, took great care of him, played with him, and send excellent videos and updates. Thank you Tatiana!”
“Deena was very reliable and knowledgeable with my precious cat. Within a day, my shy and timid rescue muffin was purring and head butting and kneading her. Very trustworthy sitter whom I am confident leaving in charge of my baby’s well-being. Thank you!”
“Shamika always takes great care of my 3 cats when I'm away. I get daily updates on food intake and play time, lots of photos, and the house and litter is always kept clean. She does a great job with my old and grumpy cat who needs three meds, twice a day. Don't hesitate to book her to look after your pets. Recommended.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Toronto
Sarah was amazing with my cat! Usually after a long trip away he is noticeable anxious for the first couple days when I am back, but this was the first time he was completely fine. He’s also very nervous with new people and she made sure to give him the time and space to get comfortable with her. She gave great updates and pictures and let me know of any little changes she saw with him. Communication with her was excellent and very easy. I also appreciated her staying longer when she had the time and I know my cat appreciated the extra time as well!
Patricia has always been extremely reliable and the only person I would want to care for my pets while I’m away. So when I needed someone to check in on the 2 cats I am fostering while I was out of town for a couple of days I didn’t hesitate to ask Patricia for her help. And as always she took great care of them and made sure they were happy and healthy! Thank you!
I couldn't have left my babies in better hands. Sylvain has a truly caring heart, and it showed in every interaction with Carmelo and Sachi. When I came back from my trip, I could immediately see how happy they were and how incredibly well they had been cared for. What impressed me the most was that Sylvain achieved something with them that I hadn't even been able to accomplish while living with them. In my mind, he's the equivalent of a cat whisperer or Mary Poppins for cats! He always kept me updated with multiple photos and detailed reports, even about the smallest things (including their funny little moments). I was amazed by how well he remembered every little detail I told him about my babies, even though I had only mentioned most of them once. Knowing they were in such loving and attentive hands gave me complete peace of mind during my trip. I feel incredibly grateful to have found Sylvain, and I won't hesitate to book with him every time I travel. Thank you, Sylvain, for treating my babies like your own. It truly means the world to me.
Sophie took such good care of Ming during her drop in visits. And Ming really appreciated her company while my husband and I were away on a short trip. Sophie was easy to communicate with, did a great job caring for Ming on time, and left us lovely notes each drop in, reassuring us that our cat Ming was doing well. 💛
Wenwen has been a wonderful pet sitter, she follows thoroughly all instructions that I have given her (and we have a princess cat so we had a lot of it), our cat seems to have loved her and was acting really comfortable around her. During the visits, she’s took the time to share a lot of info on our cat (how she’s been doing, eating, interacting with her etc). She’s super sweet & truth worthy, I can only recommend her to pet sit your babies!
Marianna was a fantastic cat-sitter! She was a great communicator and the cats absolutely loved her - which is a big deal as one of our guys is very shy! We really appreciated Marianna’s updates and the pictures/videos she would send with her daily check-ins. Knowing they were in good hands made being away from them easier. Will definitely try to rebook with Marianna in the future!
Yuanxin does an amazing job with my cat and is super dependable!! If you're in the Old Town Toronto area, I highly recommend booking with her! Fast, reliable, and I've never had any issues getting in contact or receiving adequate updates from her. My cat also responds very well to her and hes a scardy cat!
Meredith took great care of Christopher the cat! She made sure he was well fed and cared for. She noticed that my apartment's AC turned off on a hot day, and made sure to tell me, fix the thermostat, and check in to make sure the temperature had dropped later in the day. She also sent me wonderful pictures of Chris throughout the week.
