“Carrie sat for our 2 kitties and was amazing! The cats were well cared for and she even did a few things around the house which was a fabulous surprise. I definitely recommend her and will book her again!”
“Weini is a reliable cat sitter. She took very good care of both my cat and my plants. She sent lots of pictures and my cat enjoys her company. She also kept my place clean exactly like how it was when I left and took care of the garbage / bedding / litter disposal. Absolutely 10/10. Would recommend to my friends.”
“Elizabeth was great sitting our two dogs in our house. She was clean and respectful of our home. She took amazing care of the boys. Brought them for long walks and let me know of any issues or concerns. Lovely person. I would book again and highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Our pup has separation anxiety and can be wary of new people, but Valeria did such a great job of connecting with her and making her feel comfortable. I was surprised to learn she didn’t bark once. Valeria is detailed oriented, trustworthy and was great at communication. I would highly recommend Valeria!”
“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”
“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!”
“Elizabeth is incredible. Our pup is very anxious and needs a great deal of encouragement. When Elizabeth came for the meet and greet she allowed Silo to take his time warming up to her and ensured that their first interaction was positive and puppy-led. Elizabeth’s calm demeanour and knowledge of how to approach and build trust in animals gave us the confidence we needed to leave Silo in her care while we travelled out of country. She came prepared with treats, poop bags and lots of love for our pup. We were updated daily with photos and videos of Silo. Elizabeth went the extra mile to ensure that we had landed safely before she left our home. We would recommend Elizabeth to any and all people looking for a trustworthy, professional, and magical pet sitter.”
“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.”
About: I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. I can help with walking, feeding, playtime, cleaning, and giving pets comfort and attention while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. My schedule is flexible, and pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship while making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed whether they are in my home or in their owner’s home. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions if needed, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I keep the environment clean, calm, and secure, and I always respect the pet’s personality and needs.
About: I have had dogs since I was young, with 15 years of double dog experience. Also, I have experience fostering dogs with anxiety and senior dogs who needed extra attention for medical care and attentiveness. Your pet’s comfort is my top priority! I currently have a beautiful big cat that I love, and have experience with kittens and seniors alike. Big on communication with owners, and am a very reliable and caring pet carer. I would be thrilled to host your pet! I work from home four days a week, and am incredibly flexible in terms of timing and availability. Free most evenings and weekends as well! Comfort of the pet is the most important! Making sure a pet feels comfortable and safe is the highest priority, and I aim to ensure that in every visit.
“Another repeat visit from Eric. My dog is happy. Eric keeps me updated on walks etc, leaves the house clean and tidy, and coordinates with friends so my guy can have his Saturday morning date at the beach with his girlfriend.”
“Victoria is amazing and I recommend her always. She’s doggy sat for us in the past in our house and it’s been great. She provides thoughtful updates with pics which is always nice to see. Looking forward to next time.”
“Danielle was great. She provided me with updates and photos throughout the day, which was super helpful for a first time Rover user. We look forward to having her spend the day with our puppy again:)”
“Amy was amazing with Bella! I had a work event in the evening and needed someone look after Bella for the evening. Amy was super sweet and caring and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Bella with her. She kept us updated throughout the evening, which we really appreciated, and it was clear that Bella really liked her and felt comfortable with her. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We would happily book with her again! 🐾❤️”
“My cat Blanco and I had a wonderful experience with Daisy! She took care of my cat and home like they were her own! She was kind, attentive and extremely responsive. I arrived back after a long trip to an immaculate home and a very happy cat. I will definitely use Daisy as a pet/home sitter again!”
About: Apart from having pets all my life, I’ve spent years rescuing animals in need. From cats to dogs to birds, you name it. Rest assured, your pet will be treated with the same love and patience I have for my own. I'm currently in between switching jobs hence timing will not be much of a problem. I'm available for pet sitting from 10 am to 8 pm throughout the week. My pet Freya, is mainly an indoor cat but is also leash trained for walks in the park she sometimes accompanies me on. She's on a wet food diet (fancy feast pate) with freeze dried chicken as a topper. She has a steel litter box that helps keep it odour free and fresh. My home is also cat proofed in every way.
“Clare took great care of our kitties and home while we were away - she has a gentle and calm presence and we felt safe and assured that she would well-manage things. We came home to a tidy house and happy cats!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Toronto is $55

She was incredibly kind and compassionate. She is very organized and responsible and maintains excellent communication to ensure all of your pet’s needs are met. She really understands senior dogs and their unique needs, and went above and beyond to make sure my blind senior dog felt safe, comfortable, and cared for in his own home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly understands and cares for their pets. ❤️
Svetlana took such wonderful care of our dogs over the weekend while we were away at a family wedding. We were able to enjoy our time away without worrying, knowing our dogs were in great hands. We came home to happy dogs and a house just as we had left it. We would absolutely recommend Svetlana!
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.
I can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Rhiannon. One of our two dogs is quite difficult. She was attentive, careful, thoughtful, slow, gentle and loving with him. She was able to earn his trust over the 24 hours she was with him. We will call her again for sure.
Amy was amazing with Bella! I had a work event in the evening and needed someone look after Bella for the evening. Amy was super sweet and caring and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Bella with her. She kept us updated throughout the evening, which we really appreciated, and it was clear that Bella really liked her and felt comfortable with her. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We would happily book with her again! 🐾❤️
Chris babysat for our two boys for three weeks and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were assured that they were in good hands with videos and pictures sent to us. Chris is thoughtful and considerate of our apartment and everything was in good shape when we got home. Wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again. Thank you so much!
Jessica was amazing with our doodle Saffron. As a very anxious dog, Jessica was so calm and gentle with her, providing frequent updates. She was also highly flexible and very accommodating to schedule changes. I would highly recommend her to sit any pet and would definitely hire her again in the future.
My regular cat sitter was ill and I had a 3 week vacation coming up. I am an anxious cat mom but as soon as Sara met my boys I could see they were completely at ease with her (which rarely happens when they meet people). Sara was very quick to respond and sent several photos daily to ease my mind. It was a great experience! Thank you!
Sinead was a wonderful cat sitter! She took fantastic care of my cats and was so loving with them. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos, it was great to hear how they were doing and see them happy. She followed all care instructions perfectly and left my place spotless when I got back. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her!
This was the third time we've hired Sydney to watch Nacho, and this time, it was for an extended stay of over two weeks. Nacho was a lot more open and playful to Sydney than previous house sits. Sydney sent us video and phot updates every day and was diligent in cleaning the litter box, and refreshing water and food. We were a lot more relaxed during our vacation knowing that Nacho was in great hands with Sydney!

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
