About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I started helping friends and neighbours look after their dogs taking them for walks, playing with them, and following their various feeding routines. I love animals and pets of all kind! I currently work part time so I have tons of time to play with your "fur baby"! I live a very active life style so I'm ready to bring the bring high energy fun but I'm also just happy to chill and cuddle if thats more your pets speed. I am happy to take dogs for walks and maintain cleanliness around your home. I am comfortable with litterboxes and other bathroom habits. I can easily and happily follow your pets many routines.
“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!”
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: 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.
“Definitely 5-stars! Chaewon kept our cat and our two guinea pigs happy, healthy and fed all week while we were travelling. Great communication, lots of cute pics…a very good experience all around. She was even kind enough to water our flowers when we asked. Thanks so much Chaewon!”
“Lol and Kam are amazing. They are knowledgeable about cats, was attentive to my cat, who like them immediately, consistent and on schedule with the visits. I recommend them and definitely will rebook them.”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Prerna is very responsive and easy to coordinate with. She has been great company for Tigger while his owner was unexpectedly away. She clearly takes extra care in her visits - Tigger very much loved having her around to spend time with and his needs were very well looked after.”
“Jingyu took care of my cat, Juno, while I had to be away from the house for a weekend trip. Jingyu was not only very professional and polite in setting up our appointments, but also very fast and detailed. Juno seems to have loved hanging out with her as she was happy and full of energy when I got back! I would definitely trust Jingyu again with my pet!”
“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 💕”
“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.”
“Xinlei is an amazing sitter! she took great care of my cat and was flexible to take a last minute booking change as my flight was cancelled. you can always trust her you cat will be in good hands! thank you”
“Riya was great with my dog, and was very accommodating! Komugi was distressed when I had to be out of town for a while, but she managed to calm her down and provided me with lots of updates everyday”
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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Toronto
So impressed with the quality of service and responsiveness. It was so nice knowing my cat Mina was being well taken care of during her visits. I will be returning for more servives and will proudly recommend Danielle to my coworkers who also travel lots for work.
Alaia was absolutely wonderful – we couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for our little boy! Our cat is usually very shy and wary of strangers, but from the very first visit, he completely let his guard down with Alaia – he even let her rub his belly, which is something he never does to others! That alone told us how trustworthy and kind she is with animals. She was incredibly attentive and conscientious every single day – she spent quality time playing with him, gave him treats, and made sure his food and water bowls were washed daily. The litter box and trash were always spotless when we returned, and our home was kept immaculately clean. Beyond the basics, Alaia went above and beyond: she sent us daily updates with lots of photos, kept us informed about his eating and litter box habits, and always responded to messages promptly and patiently. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our kitty was in such capable, loving hands. When we came home, our cat was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for – which is the best sign of all. Alaia even left us the sweetest handwritten card that absolutely made our day. I feel so lucky to have found someone so responsible, caring, gentle, and wonderful on my very first try. I cannot recommend her highly enough – if you're looking for a pet sitter, look no further! Thank you again, Alaia – you're a gem! 🐾
Sarah-Tai is the most patient, thoughtful, and considerate sitter we've ever had. Our Chickpea is a spicy kitty who hates strangers and taking her medicine. Sarah-Tai worked with us to get to know Chickpea before our trip and rolled with any challenges, putting Chickpea (and Patches) first.
This was our first time using a sitter and Ka Cin and Raymond were amazing!! They provided lots of photos and detailed updates which let us know that our cats were under good care. One of our cats is usually slow to warm up to new people, but he felt super comfortable with them. Would definitely booked with them again!
Nishan took wonderful care of my cat, Prairie! She made sure Prairie was well fed, spent time playing with her, and kept me updated throughout each visit with photos. I felt such peace of mind while I was away as it was clear that my cat was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
