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.
About: We're so excited to become your pup's doting pet auntie and uncle! We have been surrounded by animals our whole life, and have had over 15 years of taking care of pets of all sizes, breeds, and ages. Yours can expect the utmost TLC from us - whether it's cuddling, fetching, or just some space. It's important to us that we only take 1 client at a time in order to provide the best care possible. Rest assured that they will receive undivided love and attention in a quiet & calm environment where they can relax and thrive. We work from home and can provide round-the-clock care. There is usually at least 1 of us home; if not, we're not usually gone for more than 4 hours at a time. We only take 1 client at a time, so privacy, safety, and space won't be an issue. Your dog will also be welcome to roam our large fenced backyard. There's no off-limits space in the house, except our bed.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My experience began with my childhood cat, Uncle Shay, and later grew through caring for Maya, a Basset Hound and Rottweiler mix, and Fred, a Rottweiler. Over the years I've learned that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of communicating, and taking the time to understand those differences is one of the most important parts of providing great care. 've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My experience began with my childhood cat, Uncle Shay, and continued with two wonderful dogs, Maya, a Basset Hound and Rottweiler mix, and Fred, a Rottweiler. Growing up with them taught me that every pet has their own personality, routine, and way of communicating, and that the best care starts with taking the time to understand them as individuals. Outside of Rover, I'm a member of the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves, where responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail are part of everyday life. I'm also building a veterinary-related business, which has given me an even deeper appreciation for preventative care, client communication, and creating a safe, low-stress experience for every pet. One thing that sets me apart is my approach before a booking even begins. Every new client receives a structured meet-and-greet where I learn about your dog's routine, personality, medications, behavioural triggers, emergency contacts, favourite activities, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. Rather than providing one-size-fits-all care, I tailor every visit to your pet's individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I'm taking your dog for a walk or caring for them while you're away, my goal is simple: to treat them with the same care and attention I'd want for my own pets. I'm based near Yonge & Finch and primarily serve North York and neighbourhoods along Toronto's Line 1 subway, including: • Willowdale • North York Centre • Newtonbrook • Lansing • Yonge & Sheppard • York Mills • Lawrence Park • Yonge & Eglinton • Davisville • Midtown Toronto • St. Clair • Summerhill • Rosedale • Yorkville • The Annex • Downtown Toronto If you're outside these neighbourhoods, feel free to reach out. Depending on my schedule, I'm often able to accommodate other areas as well. My schedule is flexible with advance notice, allowing me to accommodate both daytime and evening bookings throughout most of the week. I work part time on my veterinary business, giving me flexibility to provide dependable pet care around my existing commitments. I'm generally available during the day and evenings, with the exception of Thursday evenings. Your pet's safety, comfort, and wellbeing always come first. Before every booking, I take time to understand your pet's daily routine, medical history, medications, exercise needs, favourite activities, behavioural tendencies, and any special instructions. I also review leash routines, home access, emergency contacts, and safety considerations so every visit goes as smoothly as possible. During walks and visits, I provide constant supervision, use positive reinforcement, carefully secure doors, gates, and leashes, and follow your instructions closely. I pay attention to details that can make a big difference, from monitoring weather conditions and avoiding hazards to recognizing changes in behaviour or energy levels. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages throughout each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I believe consistency creates confidence, so I work hard to keep your pet's routine as familiar and stress-free as possible while you're away.

I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners know how their pet is doing. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and following any household instructions. My dog Munch is spoiled rotten and has received a ton of TLC in her 8 years with me. She runs the house!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Toronto
Madeleine was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She took exceptional care of them and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. When one of our dogs had an upset tummy and anxiety, Madeleine stayed with them to make sure they were alright and waited for us to return home rather than simply leaving as planned. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands. We truly appreciate her thoughtfulness, compassion, and dedication, and we would happily recommend Madeleine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets!
Hannah was so delightful! Took such good care of our boy Ruso and kept us updated with photos. She even blew out our candles before we came back and put him in the crate. She tidied up our dog’s toys too. She is very friendly and we will definitely ask her to mind Ruso again!
I had a great experience with WenWen! She took wonderful care of my pets, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made me feel at ease while I was away. It was clear my pets were well looked after, happy, and comfortable. They’re reliable, caring, and genuinely love animals. I would definitely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter!
Danielle walked my little Westie Freya the last 2 days. She was wonderful, a terrific communicator and even travelled a little further to come and walk her. She took really good care of Freya I would very highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. Thank you Danielle🐾

There are 6,332 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Toronto. About 86% of Toronto sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Toronto 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Toronto 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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 dog, 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.
