“Nguyen was great! Everything went smoothly, communication was easy, and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She followed all the instructions and kept me updated while I was away. I’m very happy with the experience and would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!”
“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”
“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!”
“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.”

“Alaia was wonderful with our pets. We have worked with her twice, and once were gone 3 weeks. We would not hesitate to have her look after our aging pets again. Alaia was exceptionally easy to work with and we highly recommend her!”

Preferred Name: Sofia :) I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule so will be able to provide 24/7 care for your fur baby from Fri-Mon!

About: Got my first family dog in 2020, a rescue with some baggage who quickly warmed up to every one and every thing around him. Currently have a cute a cuddly 3 year old miniature dachshund of my own, and looking to fill my summer off with some other fur friends! I’m a teacher with the summer off, so I have plenty of free time on my hands to check-in on dogs, as well as take them for a stroll! I live in a condo with a grass patch out front, so I take my dog outside every couple hours to potty and get his sniffs in. I usually take him for 2-3 walks a day, on top of his bathroom breaks.
“So glad we chose Miryam as our first ever pet sitter! She has a genuine love for animals and our cat Koi naturally bonded with her during their time together. Miryam followed Koi’s feeding instructions and provided us daily updates and a ton of photos of Koi that made us smile everyday during our trip. Miryam living nearby was also a bonus and we will absolutely re-book Miryam in the future if she is available! Thank you!”
“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!”
“Thank you Carrie for making Gusto feel comfortable during the drop in. You really have make us feel at ease leaving Gusto at home in your care! Love the photos and happy he has warmed up to you.”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs — from energetic puppies to wise senior pups. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and over the years I’ve learned to understand their personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your dog loves to play all day or just nap in a sunny spot, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m home most of the day, so your pup will get plenty of attention and company. Walks are scheduled in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and there’s always time for play, cuddles, or just quiet time — depending on what your dog enjoys. I keep a steady, calm routine to help dogs settle in quickly and feel secure. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and set up to make dogs feel safe and relaxed. I host only a small number of pets at a time to give each one the care and attention they deserve. You can trust that your dog will be looked after like family — with love, patience, and respect. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 3 years, including walking, feeding, and giving love and attention. I worked in a pet store in Brazil, helped owners with basic pet care, and regularly walked and played with dogs of different sizes. I’m calm, patient, and always focused on making pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m currently studying part-time, so I have flexible hours during the week and full availability on weekends. I also work part-time as a dog walker during the week, so I’m very comfortable with pets and their routines. I’m available for house sitting, walks, and drop-in visits — especially on weekends. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I always follow their routine and make sure the environment stays clean, safe, and calm. I respect each animal’s needs, provide updates to the owner, and focus on building trust with the pet and family. I use public transportation to reach my clients.
“I have booked Jummy several times. She’s great - kind, responsive, and responsible. I appreciate the detail in her updates (how my cat is doing, any signs of anxiety, how he is bonding with her). My cat loves her. Thanks Jummy!!”

My GSD loves Jennifer’s Drop In Visits. She feeds him, gives him his meds, and walks him - all with great care and attention. She sends me a “Rover Card” with their walking route, along with pics of my doggo while on the walk. I don’t have to worry or stress out when I’m at a late work event, because I know that I can rely on Jennifer!
10/10 experience working with Tracy! She saved the day when another sitter cancelled last minute. I could feel how genuine she was when we had our meet & greet. While I was away, she was prompt to check in for the scheduled walks and sent a great recap of her visit. She also sent so many photos of the pups which made me feel secure while being out of town. I can’t recommend her enough! Your fur babies will be in great hands!! Thank you so much Tracy!
This was our first booking after our successful meet and greet. Nicole has great communication and left a lovely follow-up note with lots of photos and videos. I love feedback when I'm out so Nicole is perfect! Miss Veronica looks forward to seeing Nicole again.
Olga took such wonderful care of our senior bunny while we were away over the long weekend, sending us photos and updates in the report cards. Our previous go-to sitter just move away from our area, we were nervous about having to find someone new, but Olga was a great communicator and we would be happy to book her again 🥰
David was dependable with feeding and administering medication. My 20 year old cat received scratches and lap time, as did the 3.5 year old lab. David also engaged in play and full body scratches for my gregarious dog. David has cared for my pets in the past, and has been recommended by and to friends and relatives who have also appreciated his care. My neighbours found him friendly and respectful. Everyone is always happy to see David!
Antonia has been an amazing dog sitter for Bingo. Bingo can be quite a challenging dog, but Antonia was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring. She took the time to understand both my needs and Bingo’s personality, and she kept me updated every day with detailed reports on how Bingo was doing. Whenever Bingo had any issues, Antonia was always willing to go the extra mile and help without hesitation. I truly appreciate all the care and effort she put into looking after Bingo while I was away. I would definitely recommend Antonia to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter. Thank you so much, Antonia!
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!

There are 6,559 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Toronto. About 87% of Toronto 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.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
