“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.”
“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”
“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!”
“Normally my cat Cleo is very timid of new people, but she was very friendly with Jingyu! I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I really appreciate all of the care that Jingyu put in to her visit. Thank you again!!”
About: 7 years of pet sitting. I take time with each ept and learn their behaviours/preferences and adapt to ensure they receive the best love and care! I work part time at home so i have plenty of time to walk, play and take care of pets whether it's walking, feeding, bathing, brushing teeth etc! We have a park just outside our place which is a great place to socialize, bit also some less travelled routes if the pets don't prefer to socialize but like long walks! We have an Italian Greyhound that gets along with other dogs really well. We have comfortable furniture such as a bean bag chair for lounging. We have a lot of dog toys and time-wasting toys to keep them stimulated. Our place is puppy proofed and we stash our food and garbage where they can't access it.
“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.”
“Hoora and Mehrdad went above and beyond during their visits with my cat, Lenny! They were reliable, great communicators, and played a lot with Lenny to keep him entertained. I will definitely be rebooking with them!”
About: I’m reliable, gentle, and attentive. I make sure every pet receives the care they need while keeping their routine consistent. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so pet parents can have peace of mind while they’re away. Since I was young, I’ve helped care for the pets of friends and family, learning how important it is to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. During summers in New York, I also began pet sitting for people outside my immediate circle, which gave me experience caring for pets in different homes and following each owner’s specific routines and instructions. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s usual routine and schedule to help them feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I want pets to feel comfortable and at ease while their owners are away. I follow their normal routines, including meals, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I’ll be caring for them in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and always make sure everything is left clean and secure.
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.
“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!”

About: Use my code AASHNS30271 for $20 off your first booking! ❤️ I am the most animal-lover animal lover you will ever meet. Before I got my dog, Jaan, I would pet sit for many dogs, and some even for free, just so I could be in their company! I also recently fostered a puppy from thunder bay. 🏠 I live in a condo with Jaan and my husband (in that order). Jaan is a 90 pound shepherd so we are out 3-4 times a day. I believe stimulation is really important, so when we’re not walking, we are doing puzzles in the house or sniffing games. 🤍 I’m used to giving dogs their medications, so if there are any special accommodations, we can totally have a chat about it. Looking forward to meeting your pet! 🐶 Routine: I work from home and spend most of my time either at home, grabbing a coffee from the neighbourhood cafe, or going on long walks. All activities I’d love to do with your pet! 🏡 Living Information: I live in an apartment in St. Clair West. For animals who are unafraid/unfamiliar with heights, we accommodate by keeping our balcony strictly closed. I live five minutes from the Cedarvale ravine which is great for walks, and my neighbourhood is generally very green. I have a female dog at home. While you are away, I would love to keep you updated (through iMessage or WhatsApp) on how your furbaby is doing!
“Lauren took such good care of my elderly cat that I didn’t have to worry about her while I was on vacation. The photos she took reassured me that Coco was happy, healthy, and content. I will definitely book her the next time I go away!”

“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 have had dogs and puppies as my own pets back in my home country years back that some were senior dogs too. In the years, I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies from my neighbors and family friends. I’ve always loved dogs and are my weakness of how adorable and playful they are. As well as, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe their pets. I’ve had really good relationships with any age type of the pup. As therefore, one of my neighbor’s dog gets always excited when she sees me. I’m currently in a gap year of college for this year, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for drop-in visits and walking the dogs out. Therefore, I am available from Monday to Friday at 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. I provide a safe, clean, comfortable environment for your pups. I follow their routines, provide fresh water and food, taking them on walks to explore and make news friends at dog parks, give them attention, and always treat them with patience, respect, kindness, and care.
About: I have had dogs since I was young, with 15 years of dog experience. I have experience fostering dogs with anxiety and senior dogs who needed extra attention for medical care and attentiveness.

Big on communication with owners, and am a very reliable and caring pet carer. I would be thrilled to host your pet!

I called Erin when I was suddenly admitted to hospital. She was incredibly responsive and over the following days gave my kitties wonderful care, send me great reports and loads of photos, was reliable, punctual and very understanding of my situation and the uncertainty of when I might be going home. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Sam and Matt have looked after my cats twice and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. My cats warmed up to them super quickly and got lots of love from them while I was out. They send regular updates and photos so I’m always at ease knowing my kitties are happy and taken care of. I’ll continue using their services and would recommend them to anyone that is looking for professional, caring sitters for their pets.
We were nervous about leaving our 7-month old kittens alone for the first time. We chose Naveen as a sitter because he was highly recommended by a friend and we’re so happy we did! The kittens were well cared for and got lots of pets and playtime. We appreciated the photos and videos Naveen sent. He’s super thorough and kind. We’d absolutely choose him again!
Sylvain was a remarkable sitter for our cat. He was caring and attentive from day one, and he kept us updated constantly — photos, little notes, and honest reports on how our baby was doing. That meant the world to us while we were away. Our cat was happy and playful the whole time, clearly comfortable and well looked after, and honestly, Sylvain kept *us* calm too. You can tell he genuinely loves animals. We would trust him with our baby again in a heartbeat — highly recommended.
Karen was an incredible cat sitter. Incredibly attentive and diligent, I could tell she cared about the cats greatly. She sent tons of amazing photos and spent treasured time with my cats. They both looked happy and healthy upon my return and the apartment was in great condition.
We couldn’t be happier with the care Hoora and Mehrdad gave to our 2 cats while we were away! During each visit they provided us with so many cute (and high quality) photos and videos to keep us up to date. You can tell how much they love cats in how they interact and play with them during the visit. The litter box was kept clean and tidy and our cats dietary instructions were followed perfectly. They were so respectful of our space and we couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you guys, we will reach out again for more cat sitting in the future! ☺️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Toronto is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $41 per visit. 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.
There are 6,925 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 84% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
