“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 :)”
“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.”
“Svetlana was kind, quick to respond, and did a wonderful job with drop-in visits for our two cats while we were away for the week. We felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands and would happily book with her again.”
“Tatiana did a wonderful job dropping in and spending time with Rauru while we were away for the weekend - it looks like Rauru was fast to make a new friend! We highly recommend.”
“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 💕”
“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!”
“Another amazing visit with Choona! 🥹 She was so attentive and thoughtful with everything, from spending time with Choona and making sure she was happy, to moving her toys out of the robot vacuum’s way and making sure my unit was properly closed before leaving. I really appreciate the little things she notices and takes care of without me even having to ask. It gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. Definitely someone I trust with Choona and would happily book again! ❤️”
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!
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.
“Ernest was so kind, professional and conscientious, I was incredibly impressed! My kitten adored him! I noticed a huge difference - he was so calm and relaxed when I got home from work. I will definitely be rebooking, he’s been a lifesaver. Highly recommend 🙏”

About: Hi! I am a dog lover with a very flexible schedule and a lifetime of experience caring for energetic Border Collies. From leisurely strolls to off-leash adventures, I'm happy to cater our walks to your pets needs. With a deep understanding of dog behaviour and a commitment to safety, you can trust me to provide top-notch care for your beloved pet. I am available all day from Monday to friday and can be flexible on the weekend. Pet care fits into my schedule in the morning, afternoon or evening. I put the animals safety first to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone. On walks if allowed I would love to be able to let your dog off leash and am happy to keep them on leash if that is preferred.
About: I've had multiple dogs since I was a teenager. Even though I was young back then, I have been taking bathing and my dog for walks, besides playing and having fun with him. I also have experience training fearful dogs and teaching them how to walk on leash as my most recent dog was an ex breeder dog who was not properly socialized and exposed to the real world. I've also had experience administering medicine to both my previous dogs when they were ill. I have a dog, Nala, so it’s important that your dog gets along with other dogs. She’s a very calm dog and gets along with other dogs, even larger dogs. I'm currently working remotely so I'm home most of the day to take care of your pets and bring them out to potty. I'm an early bird as well so I can bring your dog out for their morning routine if they have one. Dogs always come first for me. I can easily accommodate your pets depending on their needs and if any extra attention is required, just let me know!
“Nguyen & Sami are amazing! They took care of my two little bunnies while I was away for a long weekend and they were super nice followed our instructions properly to ensure our little rabbits were properly care and loved while we were away. They sent lots of cute pictures too ensuring we knew they were doing well. They really think of everything and I can tell they love animals I will trust them to take care of Miel and Mota again :) Thanks a lot guys”
“As always, Lauren took the best care of Cordelia while I was away. I definitely came home to a happy cat. Lauren is the most conscientious sitter we have ever had the pleasure to meet.”

“Prerna is very responsive and easy to coordinate with. She has been great company for Tigger while his owner was unexpectedly away. She clearly takes extra care in her visits - Tigger very much loved having her around to spend time with and his needs were very well looked after.”
“So glad we chose Miryam as our first ever pet sitter! She has a genuine love for animals and our cat Koi naturally bonded with her during their time together. Miryam followed Koi’s feeding instructions and provided us daily updates and a ton of photos of Koi that made us smile everyday during our trip. Miryam living nearby was also a bonus and we will absolutely re-book Miryam in the future if she is available! Thank 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.

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.
My cats absolutely loved their play date and feeding with Kwai Kei! They were really relaxed when I got home and I didn’t have to worry about getting home late from a work assignment. The boys both enjoyed some interaction with their kitty toys and a fun visit with Kwai! Thank you!
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.
I can’t recommend Alaia enough! I hired her to look after my cat while my husband and I were travelling in Europe for two weeks, with two visits a day, and she took such wonderful care of my cat. Alaia was incredibly attentive, reliable, and thoughtful. She consistently went above and beyond what was expected, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about my cat’s well-being. Knowing my cat was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s not easy leaving your pet behind when travelling, but Alaia made the whole experience stress-free. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely trust her with my cat again. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, caring, and truly goes the extra mile, Alaia is the person to book!
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.
