“Siqi did a fabulous work with Saidy on my trip away. She came for an pre-visit to meet Saidy and to get clear on her needs. While I was away she followed all the instructions left and ensured Saidy was taken care of. I highly recommend Siqi!”
“Naomi was really great! My cat loved her! Even though my cat can be nervous when I'm gone and needs a lot of attention, I felt at ease my whole holiday with all the updates, seeing my cat happy and relaxed. :) Naomi is reliable and has a great attention to detail, I definitely recommend her as a cat sitter and will be booking her in the future! ”
“Miral is an amazing sitter. I was little anxious to leave my cat who I recently adopted for the first time at home as I had to go on a trip but Miral ensured I felt at ease about it. Miral is punctual, will understand your and your pet’s needs, will follow instructions, ensure you are updated on every visit and will flag if she notices something out of the ordinary.

About: Offers daily grooming and nail clipping if the cat is available Daily litter box cleaning and water refill Prefer bring your own food because cat may have sensitive stomach. Because I work from home full-time, your cat will have constant human companionship and supervision. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to prioritize kitty care throughout the day: Continuous Supervision: I am physically present all day, which is perfect for "velcro cats" who need company or kittens who require extra monitoring. Flexible Play Breaks: I take regular "brain breaks" from my desk to engage in interactive play, offer chin scratches, or check on my guests. Dedicated Space: I have a dedicated boarding room available if your cat prefers a private sanctuary to decompress or if they need a quiet space away from the rest of the home. A Gentle Resident Host: I live with a shy but sweet domestic longhair British cat. Because he is mellow and reserved, my home remains a peaceful, low-stress environment—perfect for other shy cats or those who find high-energy dogs overwhelming. 100% Indoor Only: For their protection, all guest cats remain strictly indoors in a climate-controlled environment. Cat-Proofed Space: My home is free of toxic plants (like lilies), loose wires, or small swallowable objects. Individual Resources: To prevent territorial stress, I provide separate high-quality litter boxes, food stations, and water fountains for each guest. Owners are recommended to bring their own food due to some breed's sensitive stomach.
“This was our first time with a pet sitter and the experience with Anita was amazing. She really knows what she is doing and took care of my cat. I really appreciate her service.”
“Our experience with Hiu Tung was really good! During our time away, she kept us updated with photos and messages, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave us peace of mind. Our cat was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned—exactly what every pet owner hopes for! We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust completely, and we’ll definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Steffany was absolutely wonderful with our cat while we were away for 5 days. She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and it was very clear that our cat trusted her very quickly, (she even slept next to her at night) 🥹 They played together a lot, and I’m sure she truly loved being around her. She also sent us regular photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We are so happy we found her, and now we feel completely at ease about our future trips knowing our cat is in such loving and responsible hands. We highly recommend her 🤍🐱”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own cat, whom I’ve raised since he was 3 months old and is now 5 years old. Through daily care over the years, I’m very familiar with cats’ routines, behaviors, and needs at different life stages. My experience includes feeding on a regular schedule, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring health and behavior changes, providing playtime and enrichment, and creating a calm, safe environment. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I’m patient and attentive to their individual preferences and comfort levels. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate visits at any time of day. I’m happy to work around your cat’s routine, whether that means morning, afternoon, evening, or last-minute requests. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment and carefully follow all care instructions you provide. I pay close attention to your cat’s behavior, appetite, and litter habits, and will let you know right away if I notice anything unusual. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m respectful of your home, reliable with schedules, and committed to keeping everything exactly as you prefer. I make sure doors and windows are secure and that your cat is always safe during visits.
About: I am young and able to go the extra mile for your pets. I am a vet assistant/vet tech who loves animals of all shapes and sizes. I give free pet massages to your pet. I will give my full attention to your pets and make sure that they get the best time ever. I will make sure your fur friend will be treated like my own doggy at home.

About: I've never met an animal I didn't love! They're my entire life and source of joy. I've had dogs for the last 30 years, a cat for 8, and hamsters before then (so I'll watch your small pets, too!). My most recent dog was special needs, so I'm skilled with giving medications and making accommodations to keep an animal happy and comfortable. Both of my previous dogs lived to be 15, so I'm experienced with caring for seniors and giving them all the extra love and support they need in their old age. In addition to my personal pets, I've volunteered in wildlife rescue, where I cared for orphaned baby squirrels and injured rabbits, turtles, birds, and opossums. My favourite thing is petting and playing with a furry friend. I can't wait to meet yours, fall in love, and give them the same level of care you would. I'm a freelancer who works from home, so your pet will never be lonely while you're away. I'm available for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks every day in the afternoons and evenings. Every pet is different. I work with you to understand your dog's unique needs and desires. Basically, I stick to their existing routine and support their usual habits, so they feel safe and secure. For walks, your dog will always be on a leash to ensure their safety unless they are at a fenced dog park (and only if you and your doggy are comfortable with it). I believe that keeping your pet safe means open lines of communication. You'll get regular updates and photos. If any problem should occur, I'll let you know right away.
About: I grew up with three toy poodles and now live with two lovely adopted cats. To me, pets are family. I’m patient, caring, and always ready to keep your furry friend company while you’re away. I’ll treat them like my own — with love and respect. I have plenty of time to care for pets after work every day. At home, I feed my cats every evening, so I’m already used to a consistent routine. I can visit your pet after work — not just for feeding, but also to spend time playing with them if needed. I’m happy to record the whole process so you can feel completely at ease. I'll feed I will feed your pets on time and clean the litter box as needed. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and provide both photos and videos during each visit, so you’ll know your pets are well cared for.
About: I grew up in a household where pets were always welcome. My parents loved animals, so if they spotted any stray animals, they made every effort to take care of them and find them a loving forever home. I have experience in pet sitting and dog walking, from small dogs to large ones. Currently, I have a cat named Butter. I’ve had him for about three to four years now. When I first got him, he was sick, so I’m well-versed in administering various medications to cats. I am currently free most of the time. So I can take care of your pets full time ! Anytime and however long they need me :) Most importantly, I always make sure to be cautious when opening and closing any type of door, including windows, to prevent your pets from getting lost outside.
About: I’ve always felt comfortable around cats and enjoy giving them calm, gentle care. I know that many cats need patience, routine, and a quiet approach to feel safe. I can help with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, and keeping cats company while their owners are away. I’m attentive, responsible, and careful about following each owner’s instructions so their pet stays comfortable and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for drop-in visits and caring for cats throughout the week. I can follow your cat’s routine for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and playtime, and I’m happy to provide updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away. I care for pets with patience, gentleness, and close attention to their routine. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, water, litter box care, and the space around the cat are kept clean and comfortable. I respect each cat’s personality and boundaries, follow instructions carefully, and do my best to create a calm, safe environment.
About: I currently only provide cat cares because I only have cat care experiences. Please kindly refer to my cat care details for more information, and I am filling this sections because it is mandatory :) I'm a full time student at George Brown College in Baking and I have a part-time job on Tuesdays and Weekends. My availibility would be Tuesday 2 pm to 7pm, Wednesday whole day, Thursday 8am to 2 pm, and Weekends 6pm to 11pm! If my schedule does not fit exactly, please kindly let me know and I will try to make it happen! :) Before gaining their trust (cuz you know, most are shy are defensive at first and I do not wish to scare them), I only do the simple things such as clean bowls and refill water/food, also scoop. I will stay in the room doing my thing and wait for them to approach for quick sniffs. That way they know I am new and friendly. After they are comfortable with me, I would engage with more activities such as feeding treats, play with cat toys, and even better, some gentle belly rubs :P

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Willowdale
We had such a great experience with her! She did drop-in visits for our cat Simba while we were away on vacation, and we couldn’t have been happier. ❤️ She was very sweet with him, kept us updated with pictures and messages, and made us feel so much more relaxed knowing someone was checking on him while we were away. It was clear that she really cared about him and took her time during the visits. We came home to a happy kitty and everything was taken care of perfectly. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to check in on their pets! 🐱❤️
Miral is an amazing sitter. I was little anxious to leave my cat who I recently adopted for the first time at home as I had to go on a trip but Miral ensured I felt at ease about it. Miral is punctual, will understand your and your pet’s needs, will follow instructions, ensure you are updated on every visit and will flag if she notices something out of the ordinary. I highly recommend her.
Suzi is the most reliable cat sitter! Takes the best pictures leaves things clean notices when things are out of order! Easy pick up for keys! My cats adore her she plays with them talks to them ! She deals with their needs and cleans their boxes!! Adore her❤️
Ari was able to accommodate our request for drop-in visits to our cat on a very short notice. She followed the instructions closely, was very gentle and attentive to our shy kitty, and shared detailed updates and pictures from the visits so we never felt worried. Thank you so much!
Steffany is a kind, caring and incredibly patient person. She took the time to help my nervous cat accept her, gave him as much love as he allowed, and sent me detailed updates that helped me be able to relax on a week-long trip. She was flexible when my schedule shifted last minute, and courteous in every interaction. I will absolutely be contacting her again in the future.
