“Gabrielle is wonderful! She is wonderfully responsive, kind and caring. She took great care of my precious pets and sent wonderful updates throughout the time. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
About: I am honoured to have been trusted with the care and custodianship of cherished pets, furry, scaly, and slimey, since I was a young child, which has given me invaluable experience and skill. Whether you need occasional help with walks, feeding, or sitting while you are away, I'm your gal! I've also got lots of exotic pet experience (I have three bunnies myself, and many aquaria) as well as experience caring for diverse houseplants and gardens. I pride myself in meeting the needs of even the most specialized critters, big or small, and look forward to providing the best experience for your pets, especially those that need a little extra love. I will make my schedule work with yours and look forward to talking soon! I am a mechanical engineering student, so my schedule is very flexible. I walk, cycle, and TTC, so no need for parking! I love having the opportunity to integrate furry friends into my routine. I am a seasoned carer for my three buns (dusty, soup, and drosophila), gerbil (miso), leopard gecko (artemis), and have had many hamsters. I maintain several freshwater aquaria with my partner, and have TONS of plants. I will follow your specifications and requests to a tee, and can be contacted on my cell whenever you need. I am also seasoned in housekeeping, should that be a plus!
About: With 9 years of hands-on pet care experience and a dog and cat of my own, I understand what pets need to feel safe and comfortable away from home. I'm attentive to each animal's unique personality and routine, ensuring they get the same love and care I give my own. Your pet isn't just a booking they're family. As a freelance remote worker, pet care fits seamlessly into my everyday life. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, I have open availability throughout the day meaning pets in my care are never left alone for long stretches. I'm always nearby to offer walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles on a consistent schedule. My lifestyle is built around being present, which makes caring for your pet feel less like a side job and more like a natural part of my day. I am also lucky to be surrounded by an abundance of green space and dog parks, with the Kay Beltline Trail right at my doorstep making every walk an adventure your pup will love. When caring for pets in your home, my approach is always attentive, consistent, and loving. I understand that familiar surroundings make a big difference — especially for pets who are anxious or routine-driven. I follow each pet's established schedule closely, from feeding times to walks and playtime, so they feel calm and comfortable while you're away. As a remote freelancer with open availability, I'm never rushing in and out. I dedicate real, unhurried time to every pet in my care, treating your home and your animal with the same respect and attention I'd give my own.
“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!”
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.
“I’m lucky to have found Danielle! I have a senior chihuahua who needs a little extra care and patience with her drop in visits (she is mostly blind and deaf), and now I can rest easy knowing she is safe in Danielle hands. She is very caring and communicative. I will continue to use her services :)”
“Lol and Kam are amazing. They are knowledgeable about cats, was attentive to my cat, who like them immediately, consistent and on schedule with the visits. I recommend them and definitely will rebook them.”
“We were so lucky to have Svetlana as our cat sitter! She took amazing care of our cat (and our fish) while we were away — sending daily updates, photos, and making sure everything was perfect. Our cat, who is usually shy, clearly felt comfortable and happy with her. We could really relax on our trip knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommended!”
“Valeria provided great care for my beloved cat Kevin when I was out of town. She is a very attentive and caring personality. Me and Kevin had a great experience and would highly recommend Valeria's services!”
“Very very happy with Jingyu’s care of my beloved Percy. Percy warmed up to Jingyu very quickly and was comfortable enough with her to allow her to give him medication. Jingyu cared for Percy the way I would care for him and I am very happy with her, so much so that I will be booking her again soon. I would highly recommend Jingyu to care for your pet.”
“Shamika always takes great care of my three cats. I get daily updates, photos, and I'm pretty sure she leaves the house cleaner than I do. She's also great at handling the medications for my older cat. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to take care of your pets if you need cat sitting.”
“Riya was great with my dog, and was very accommodating! Komugi was distressed when I had to be out of town for a while, but she managed to calm her down and provided me with lots of updates everyday”
“Hoora & Mehrdad came to watch after Papi and Cleo again; they are truly amazing at watching after my babies! I came home to happy, well fed cats, and a clean litter box. They are now my go-to sitters to watch after my babies. Papi and Cleo can’t wait to hang out with them again next week! 😻😻”
About: Not all pet care is created equal and neither are the people providing it. I bring years of hands-on experience working with dogs at every life stage, from puppies as young as 8 weeks old to senior dogs with complex needs. Whether your pup is brand new to the world or slowing down with age, they’re in experienced, knowledgeable hands. As a dog trainer, I understand behaviour and body language at a level most walkers simply don’t. That means I can read your dog, respond to their needs, and keep every outing safe and positive. What I offer that most sitters can’t: • 🎓 Dog Trainer: behaviour-informed care every visit • 🐣 Puppy experience from 8 weeks: gentle, developmental-stage-aware handling • 🐾 Senior dog care: patience, modified pacing, and extra attentiveness • 💊 Medication administration: oral, topical, and more • 🚑 Canine first aid certified: trained to respond calmly in any situation • 📸 Real-time photo updates every visit Your dog isn’t just being watched. They’re being cared for by someone who truly knows dogs. Pet care isn’t something I fit in around other things, it’s the heart of what I do. I structure my days around my clients, which means your pet is never an afterthought. Morning, midday, and evening availability allows me to accommodate a variety of routines and schedules, and I keep my client list intentionally small so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, with advance booking recommended to secure your preferred times, especially for recurring walks or multi-day care. This is a boutique service by design. Limited spots mean more presence, more consistency, and a better experience for your pet. When I enter your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I give your pet. Every visit begins with a thorough check of the environment, including doors, windows, gates, and any potential hazards, so your pet is secure from the moment I arrive. For walkers and flight-risk dogs, I take extra precautions with leash checks and secure exits before we ever step outside. Your home is left exactly as I found it. I follow your routines, respect your space, and never cut corners because consistency and trust are the foundation of exceptional pet care. What you can always count on: • 🔒 Secure environment check every single visit • 📋 Your pet’s routine followed to the letter • 📸 Photo updates so you have eyes on your pet from anywhere • 🚑 Canine or feline first aid certified. I’m prepared for any situation • 💊 Medication administered safely and on schedule if needed • 🏠 Your home left clean, secure, and exactly as you left it Whether you’re at work, traveling, or simply need a midday check-in, you’ll never have to wonder. You’ll know.
“Setareh, thank you so much for looking after Cora and Cheri while we were away. You were so kind and thoughtful to them and even though we were away only for a couple of nights, you kept us updated throughout and it was easy to see why the girls loved you so much 💕”

So impressed with the quality of service and responsiveness. It was so nice knowing my cat Mina was being well taken care of during her visits. I will be returning for more servives and will proudly recommend Danielle to my coworkers who also travel lots for work.
Alaia was absolutely wonderful – we couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for our little boy! Our cat is usually very shy and wary of strangers, but from the very first visit, he completely let his guard down with Alaia – he even let her rub his belly, which is something he never does to others! That alone told us how trustworthy and kind she is with animals. She was incredibly attentive and conscientious every single day – she spent quality time playing with him, gave him treats, and made sure his food and water bowls were washed daily. The litter box and trash were always spotless when we returned, and our home was kept immaculately clean. Beyond the basics, Alaia went above and beyond: she sent us daily updates with lots of photos, kept us informed about his eating and litter box habits, and always responded to messages promptly and patiently. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our kitty was in such capable, loving hands. When we came home, our cat was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for – which is the best sign of all. Alaia even left us the sweetest handwritten card that absolutely made our day. I feel so lucky to have found someone so responsible, caring, gentle, and wonderful on my very first try. I cannot recommend her highly enough – if you're looking for a pet sitter, look no further! Thank you again, Alaia – you're a gem! 🐾
Sarah-Tai is the most patient, thoughtful, and considerate sitter we've ever had. Our Chickpea is a spicy kitty who hates strangers and taking her medicine. Sarah-Tai worked with us to get to know Chickpea before our trip and rolled with any challenges, putting Chickpea (and Patches) first.
This was our first time using a sitter and Ka Cin and Raymond were amazing!! They provided lots of photos and detailed updates which let us know that our cats were under good care. One of our cats is usually slow to warm up to new people, but he felt super comfortable with them. Would definitely booked with them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Toronto on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 6,751 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Toronto. About 86% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
