“Amy did a wonderful job checking in on Princess Leia! She was so loving, kind, and treated Leia as if she were her own. I only wish Amy lived closer — we’d have her care for Leia all the time.”
“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 💕”
“She took great care of my little Murph while I was on vacation. Highly recommend Tatiana to take care of your cat when you can’t. She is very knowledgeable of cat behaviour so my cat warmed up to her very quickly. I was impressed!”

“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!”
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 keep the environment clean, calm, and secure, and I always respect the pet’s personality and needs.
“Jennifer is a gem and we are so lucky to have found her. She walks our GSD every day and sends the pics and updates the Rover Card, which I love. She is caring and our Best Boy loves her!”
“Lok Yung and Kam Hin were wonderful cat sitters! They were very reliable and kept me updated with videos of my cat while I was away, which really put my mind at ease. I would absolutely book them again!”
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.

“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: I'm university student and dog lover with many years of pet care experience. I have wide availability, and a big house with a large fenced yard. I am centrally located in the city, close to dog friendly parks such as North Toronto, The Beltline, and Sherwood Park. I am able to provide dogs with long walks and tons of exercise. I have developed an expertise in dog care and training whilst looking after my dog Jake. I will provide a caring and fun environment for dogs and hope to bond with them and have a great time. I am currently a student home for summer and looking for some part-time work, but very flexible availability and will be able to spend a lot of time on pet-care and making sure they have the best experience staying with me We have an extremely large fenced in backyard, it has a fountain & pond that many dogs like to drink from and run around and get exercise. So even if we cant make it to a dog park or have a good walk we can still have a great time in the backyard. It's totally secure as I have made sure due to my dog's escaping tendencies. Its a great open space and safe too! I am mostly home during the week taking courses for university online and studying. Doing rover to make some additional money. I love spending time with dogs. I take my dog on a long walk once a day and on weekends to eglinton park, forest hill park, sherwood or sunnybrook park to play. My dog would love to have a friend come with us on our routine so it works out great. During the week usually we go on the beltline which is 2 minutes from my house and do a walk there. Early mornings i'll just let him out back we have a fenced in yard.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have grown up having them around. We’ve had dogs in my family for years, and I’ve been helping care for our current dog since 2021 whenever I’m home in India. I love getting to know their little personalities and routines, and I’m very comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime and keeping them company. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ll always make sure I follow your instructions and give your dog the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins and keeping your dog company during the day. On my two office days, my schedule is flexible, so I can usually arrange my workday around your pet’s needs. I’m happy to discuss specific routines and availability in advance. I know it can be a little stressful leaving your pet with someone new, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that means a walk, feeding, playtime or just some company. I’ll always be respectful of your home, pay attention to your instructions and keep you updated while you’re away.
“Prerna went above and beyond to care for our cat, Andrew! She followed instructions perfectly, left detailed notes after each visit, and was incredibly responsive, which gave us peace of mind. She was also flexible and accommodating when we needed an extra visit. The updates and photos showed how happy and comfortable Andrew was, and we returned to a relaxed, content cat. Highly recommend Prerna for reliable and loving pet care. Thank you so much for everything!”
About: **available evenings after 5pm and on weekends** I have experience training and walking small and large breed dogs, and dogs of various energy levels. I will treat and care for your dog as if it were my own :) My schedule is pretty consistent, which makes it easy for me to fit walks and drop-in visits into my routine. I love spending time with animals and enjoy getting outside for walks, so it's something I genuinely enjoy doing. I understand that every pet and owner has their own routines and preferences, whether that's crate training, feeding schedules, walk routines, or playtime. I always do my best to follow those routines so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away!

Wenwen did an amazing job! She offered a free meet-and-greet beforehand and was very attentive throughout. She sent lots of photos, videos and a detailed report after each visit and clearly bonded well with our cat. Reliable, caring and communicative. Highly recommended!
I had such a great experience with Buse and I’m so happy I chose her to take care of my cat, Winnie! 🥹❤️ From the beginning, she was very kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I felt completely comfortable leaving Winnie in her care, which is so important to me because Winnie is very attached to us and loves attention. Buse took such good care of her and made sure she had everything she needed. She spent time with her, gave her attention and affection, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell that Winnie felt comfortable and safe with her, and that honestly means everything to me. It’s always a little stressful leaving your pet with someone else, but with Buse I didn’t have to worry. She was responsible, caring, and treated Winnie like her own. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for cat. 🥹🐱 I would absolutely trust Buse with Winnie again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care about their pet. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby! ❤️
Tia was absolutely amazing. Tia dropped in every day for an hour on my two cats. She was reliable and communicated with me how our pets were doing everyday. One of our cats was recovering from an injury so I appreciate that Tia took special care of him. Would recommend Tia to anyone and book her again for sure. Thank you Tia!
My GSD loves Jennifer’s Drop In Visits. She feeds him, gives him his meds, and walks him - all with great care and attention. She sends me a “Rover Card” with their walking route, along with pics of my doggo while on the walk. I don’t have to worry or stress out when I’m at a late work event, because I know that I can rely on Jennifer!
Nguyen was great! Everything went smoothly, communication was easy, and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She followed all the instructions and kept me updated while I was away. I’m very happy with the experience and would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our two kittens Simon and Piper received! Leaving our fur babies is so hard but we were quickly at ease the minute we talked to David and knew he would be taking care of them. You can genuinely tell how much he loves and cares about animals. David went above and beyond. He was so kind, communicative and so incredibly attentive to their needs. He updated us and sent us the cutest photos of them to help get us through our day. It was so clear that S&P were loved by David like they were his own. We came home to a spotless house and two very happy and loved little kittens. what more could you ask for?! We truly cannot recommend David enough. Simon and Piper can’t wait to get more cuddle time with you David! You’re the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Toronto on Rover is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $41 per visit. 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.

There are 6,975 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.
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.
