“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 took great care of my cat Seorsa. I got frequent updates on how things are going as well photos. I really felt Seorsa was in good hands and safe which allowed me to focus on my trip. I will definitely be reaching out again next time I need to go out of town. I highly recommend Danielle.”
“Had a great experience! Weini took really good care of my cat and kept me updated while I was away. It was nice knowing my cat was in good hands. Would definitely book again!”
“Sinead was an absolute gem for our first time using Rover! We were away for 11 days, which felt like a long stretch to leave our cats, but she made the whole trip so much easier for us. She went above and beyond, taking care of little things we hadn't even thought to ask about. Our boys, Mochi and Ooyu, can be a handful .. they had a few mischievous moments (broken glass, general chaos included) - but Sinead was endlessly patient and kind with them. By the time we got home, they seemed so content and relaxed. She also sent frequent updates throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We're incredibly grateful to have found her and would recommend her to anyone ❤️”
“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.”
“Stephanie was a joy to have as our dog sitter! She provided such loving care for our dog Monty and demonstrated responsibility in all respects. Monty has some special needs and she was not only sensitive to his “idiosyncrasies” but dealt with a few issues requiring her to problem solve and consult with our Vetenarian. Our home and Monty were very well taken care! of ! Stephanie kept in touch with us to reassure us all was well, and our home was immaculate when we returned . Cannot express our gratitude 🙏”
“We wholeheartedly recommend Maria’s services. From the moment we met her, her calm demeanor and positive energy put us at ease, making it easy to trust her with our furry baby. Depsite us running a bit late after an event, Maria graciously stayed a little longer to ensure we returned before she left. Would love to continue with her services in the future!”
“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.
“We were a little hesitant at first about leaving Oreo with someone new, but the moment we met Angela, we knew he was in great hands—she's truly an angel. She took wonderful care of Oreo, kept us updated with photos and messages, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Oreo came home happy, relaxed, and well loved. We highly recommend Angela and will definitely trust her with Oreo again. Thank you so much! 🐾💙”
“Our dog is not an easy one, she doesn’t take any meds but is a senior and has a very strong personality… Pedro and Mayara were very professional and caring with our dog and our place. We received daily updates every time she went out, she looked happy and well taken care of.”
“Gracen was absolutely brilliant with my cats! She took care of all their needs - played with them, cuddled them, and made sure they ate well. One of my cats needs daily medication and she gave it to him with no difficulties. She was super communicative, sending me updates and photos regularly each day. She cleaned and tidied everything (including a bit of a mess the cats made, tearing around the house one day!) I will be hiring her back every time I'm away now! I highly, highly recommend her!”

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Toronto
Xarhia was fantastic! She took wonderful care of Kuba and our home while we were away. She also cleaned the house, which was a lovely surprise to come home to. She sent great photos of Kuba throughout the stay, so we always knew he was happy and doing well. Communication was easy, and we felt completely at ease. We'd happily book Xarhia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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.
