“Frances took excellent care of Maverick today. She was attentive, friendly, and kept me updated with photos and videos. She walked him, fed him, and made time to play both inside and outside. Maverick seemed happy and relaxed when I got home. I’d gladly book her again.”
“Danielle was wonderful with Rocco! She was very professional, took him on plenty of walks, and went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and settled while we were away. We really appreciated the care she gave our little guy and would happily book with her again!”
“Weini did a fantastic job looking after my cat Borsch while I was away for a week: sent me a lot of photos, followed instructions, administered Borsch’s asthma puffer, left the apartment tidy. Professional, reliable and very good with cats, Borsch had a great time!”
“We made the right decision choosing Danielle to watch over our two cats, one dog and a bearded dragon. She is punctual and understanding of our situation, dealing with a puppy isn't always the easiest but Danielle handled our 9 month old scared/timid puppy very well. We heard lots of updates about them, with pictures and asked important questions on how to best care for them! Would definitely book with Danielle again, knowing my animals are safe and given the attention they need.”
“I am so thankful that Sinead was available to stay with Bear and Leon while I was away last week:) Her care and attention to their needs is appreciated and I know they had a great week! She sent thoughtful updates and adjusted to Bear’s needs throughout her stay. She treated the house as her own and it was neat and tidy on our return. A heartfelt thank you from all of us and I will definitely reach out next time we are planning to travel! All the best, Merrill”
“Svetlana was absolutely wonderful with Marley while I was away for 10 days. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing Marley was in such caring, capable hands. She’s attentive, responsible, and genuinely loving with my little dog. Svetlana kept me updated, sent tons of photos, followed all instructions perfectly, and treated Marley like her own. I came home to a very happy, relaxed pet — which says everything. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable pet sitter.”
About: I grew up on a farm in Alberta with two dogs and plenty of barn kittens. The past few years I have been doing dog walking and catsitting, including senior dogs and anxious cats. I work from home Monday, Thursday, and Friday, and can make pet care work for your schedule. I can do longer housesitting stays or check-ins during the day. I prefer to pick up and drop off pets at their house, or do pet sitting at the owner's home. This is because most pets find their home environment and local neighbourhood more comfortable and familiar. As well, it helps to keep pets on their usual routine.
“Maria was perfect! We got updates throughout the day with pictures, she was thorough with instructions, and best of all the dog and cat absolutely loved her. We booked with Maria last minute and she still made time for a meet & greet before the stay. Would highly recommend her and will book with her again!”
“Gaby looked after my two cats at my house and during this time I knew that my babies were under the best care! She followed the care instructions well and was very communicative, which really helped an anxious cat mom like me. I received many pictures throughout my trip and came back to very happy cattos. Thank you Gaby!”
About: Experienced Cat Sitter I have been raised with multiple cats throughout my childhood. Currently have a catbaby of my own: simba. Experienced in cat behaviour, feeding, grooming as well as providing medication For me, each cat has their own unique personality and deserves the same personalized care and affection. I provide plenty of play time and pampering :) I will be available on weekends and weekdays (if it's a holiday) My care giving routine is quality oriented and not time bound so if the pet needs more care or attention I am happy to extend a little beyond. IMPORTANT: My visits usually last around 45-60 mins depending on the care and attention the pet requires so it’s not time bound. I live in an apartment building with inbuilt security system.I provide supervised access to the balcony and occasional walks to nearby parks (if approved) incase the cat wants some fresh air.
“Victoria did a great job watching over our dogs. She sent lots of photo updates, as well as kept the place tidy during her stay. Our two corgis seemed to have fallen in love with her, immediately wanting to play and cuddle. We couldn’t be happier with the service! We’ll definitely book again.”
“Ryan and Jenna were absolutely fantastic taking care of my Dora! I’m often very reluctant on who I trust taking care of my dog, as she’s at rescue and one that had a rough beginning in life that has left her with anxiety. When I met Ryan and Jenna, they completely put my concern to rest!”

“This was the second time we have booked Eric. He was prompt to get back to us to book and was easy to work with. We feel very comfortable with Eric taking care of Squeaks and would call on him again.”
“Nikki was amazing! This was my first time leaving my puppy alone ever and she made things easy from the beginning. Highly recommend booking with her. We both look forward to seeing her again soon 😊”

We felt reassured and at peace having had to arrange all of this last minute! She came to last minute meet and greets to get our anxious Golden Retreiver a customized to her…this was accomplished within minutes! Morgan took to her gentle attention and sweet communication to him. He and Duncan (tuxedo cat) were at ease and given much attention! Nathaly cared for our home and we returned to everything in order and tidy!! Thank you Nathaly!! We will be booking again definitely!!!💐”
About: Hey there, I'm Maha! I'm a lifelong dog lover who has spent a LOT of time at animal rescue shelters, where I met and adopted my rescue girlie, Moon! I know some dogs need a little extra time to warm up, and I'm more than happy to give them the patience and gentle care they need. I approach each dog gently based on their individual needs and personalities, and I'm happy to either spend hours playing fetch with them in a park or cuddling up on the couch while they sleep. Let me know what your dog vibes with! ✨ My schedule is currently pretty flexible, so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and keeping your pets company! I'm available throughout the week and on weekends, and I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine. I always want pets to feel safe, happy, and at home. I'll stick to their usual routines, respect their boundaries, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I'm also happy to send photos and updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing! ✨

Ryan and Jenna were absolutely fantastic taking care of my Dora! I’m often very reluctant on who I trust taking care of my dog, as she’s at rescue and one that had a rough beginning in life that has left her with anxiety. When I met Ryan and Jenna, they completely put my concern to rest!
Riya was absolutely wonderful with Luna! She took amazing care of our beagle, who can definitely be a handful and is quite high maintenance. Despite our last min request on an extremely busy weekend, Riya was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond. She also sent lots of photos and updates, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily recommend her to anyone!
Kelsey was great with Great Pyrenees. Size- wise Sparky is a lot to handle but Kelsey was more than up for the job. They became fast friends and her empathy and feeling for the dog was clear. She also sent great updates a few times a day which was very reassuring. I would recommend her highly to any one
Carlos was amazing! He was very caring, reliable, and took great care of my cats while I was away. He kept me updated throughout, which gave me peace of mind. My cats were happy and well taken care of when I got back. I would definitely book with Carlos again and highly recommend him!
Giulia was amazing with our dogs! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated while we were away. We felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We had a great experience with her and would definitely book his services again. Highly recommended!
Gustavo was an amazing cat sitter! He took great care of Nala and our home, sending us messages and pictures every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Nala isn’t always the easiest cat to manage, but he was patient and caring with her. We came back to a very happy cat! We’d happily book him again and highly recommend him.
Savannah was great with my kitties. My cats seemed happy, super comfortable with her, and in their best spirits :) She shared amazing and ample updates that kept me at ease and convinced that they’re comfortable and well taken care of. She also took out time for 2 meetings before the stay to ensure she is well versed with their routine, habits, and items around the house. She also took good care of the house and treated it like her own and left it clean. I am very grateful to Savannah and look forward to having her come back to take care of my cats again :)

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Toronto maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Toronto walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
