“Caroline is awesome….Brody loves spending time with Caroline and her dog,Oisin.He gets lots of attention,walks and love and Caroline sends me daily updates and photos.I have total peace of mind when I leave Brody with Caroline overnight or longer.”
“We left our dog Cheeto with Yanfei for almost 2 weeks while we went on vacation and he had the best time with Kyle! As always, Yanfei was responsive, sent frequent updates (both photo and video) and took care of Cheeto as if he was her own. We are SO appreciative and thankful we found someone so kind and caring! Cheeto is excited for his next play date!”
About: Hi, I’m Zoe! I’m an experienced pet owner with 6 years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’ve raised my own cats since they were two months old and have cared for my dog since puppyhood, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with every pet. I currently have a 2-year-old Cavapoo who is energetic, friendly, and loves exploring new places. Taking care of him has taught me the importance of regular exercise, mental stimulation, and understanding each pet’s unique personality. I work full-time during weekdays and am available after 6 pm on weekdays, throughout weekends, for dog walks, drop-in visits, and cat care. I also offer weekend boarding from Friday evening to Sunday. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and always follow owner instructions carefully. I love taking photos and sharing updates, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like my own. I work full-time during weekdays and am available after 6 pm on weekdays, throughout weekends, for dog walks, drop-in visits, and cat care. I also offer weekend boarding from Friday evening to Sunday. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a consistent routine, so I always make sure each visit is reliable and attentive. I’ll communicate clearly, follow your pet’s routine, and provide photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is well cared for while you’re away.
“Very grateful for such an awesome couple who cared for my dog for the week! They were very quick to respond to my messages, sent photos of my dogs stay, and offered a pre-meeting to make everyone comfortable! I would 100% recommend Giancarlo and will be booking again in the future!”
“Leo was very happy when he returned from his overnight stay with Amelia. She obviously loves dogs and kept in touch was us about how he was doing. Felt very comfortable leaving our beloved with her!”
“Manni was a lifesaver on short notice - I booked last minute for an out-of-town trip and she jumped right in without missing a beat. Took the time to really get to know Zack and his routine, and sent frequent photo updates the whole time so I never had to worry. Would book with her again without hesitation.”
“Carolina and Enuar were amazing to look after our Riley. They sent us regular updates, photos and videos. They happily accommodated all of Riley's needs in terms of walks, meals, sleeping habits, etc. They truly went above and beyond all our expectations. I would definitely HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone. We will certainly use them again in the future.”
“Dizzy looked so happy in all the photos and videos she sent us! We loved seeing how much outdoor time and attention Dizzy received during the stay. She took great care of her and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We could tell Dizzy was comfortable, well cared for, and having a great time. We would definitely book with her again anytime we need a sitter for Dizzy. Highly recommend!”
“Veronika is a great dog sitter. Sandy was happy and pampered through her stay. She kept me posted about Sandy's activities. I will always feel safe and happy to leave Sandy with Veronika ❤️”
“Chunyi was lovely to work with and was very thoughtful in supporting a meet and greet prior to the booking for our pups to get to know each other. Attentive, thoughtful and kind, I’m appreciative of her ability to accommodate my last minute booking slot ahead of a business trip.”
“Bo was such a great care provider for Charley, that I'm afraid to say so here in case he gets so booked up that he is not available the next time I need to board Charley! Bo was great with my aging bulmastiff, sent regular updates which showed me Charley had settled in well and he has a great location with a large backyard for his charges. It was the first time I've ever left Charley with someone she didn't know and it was a great experience for all of us.”
“I was looking someone to trust my kitten Kimi for the first time and first trip. Teruko was amazing, she kept us updated, asked for any concerns, and our kitten was relaxed and had a good time with her. Highly recommend”
“If you are in the Scarborough area and looking for dog-sitters that will treat your pooch(es) like their own, you must book with Jacky and Yunn. I highly recommend them! They have a lovely and cozy home in Scarborough and took such great care of our Timmie while my family and I were out of the country. Yunn communicated with me at least 5 times a day, sending photos and videos as requested. They were also very accommodating for the drop-off and pick-up time. Jacky and Yunn, thank you so much for taking care of Timmie during our time away. We will book you guys again if there's another opportunity :)”
“Alison is so loving and caring. My dog was so spoilt in her care with lots of snuggles and long walks. Alison sent daily photos and videos and was great to communicate with. Would definitely use her again!”
“Rahul and Minal were awesome hosts. They took care of Max with kindness and understood him and his behaviour well. He seemed his usual self when we picked him up and was also looking out the window to get a glimpse of Rahul and Minal as we drove off. Thanks so much for taking care of our boy 🐶💗”

This was the first time Draco has lived with another dog and if it wasn’t for Zoe’s attentiveness and care for Draco, I wouldn’t know how it would’ve gone. She sent picture updates and text messages on feedback on what she’s noticed about Draco interacting with her own dog, I will 100% be recommending! Thanks zoe!
Remy had such a wonderful stay at Shengjia’s! She kept us updated throughout his stay with details about his daily routine, walks, and plenty of photos. It was clear that Remy felt comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated the updates and attention she gave him. We would absolutely love to have Remy stay with her again in the future!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Vivienne. Right from our initial meet-and-greet, she put us completely at ease because she was gentle and very welcoming to Luca. Her place is clean and lots of space. During our 21 days trip, we received regular photos and videos update. She response right away. We felt that Luca was part of their family. They took Luca wherever they go (mall and park) together with her dog Haru. Vivienne went above and beyond (besides from the regular routine), she brushed Luca’s teeth and fur everyday. Vivienne lets Luca stay beside her while she was working from home. When we picked our Luca up, she was happy, clean and relaxed. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
Qilu is incredibly kind, nice, and flexible. Even though she could have easily said no, which would have been completely understandable, she kindly agreed to let us pick up Tyson at 2 a.m. Tyson seemed very happy, and I’m absolutely sure he was well taken care of. Qilu also kept us updated on how Tyson was doing during the few hours he spent with her. Her communication was excellent from the moment we booked until the very end. She was always quick to respond and very helpful. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Qilu first whenever I need someone to look after Tyson, as long as she’s available. Highly recommended.
This was the second time that Maud and her family took care of Clyde, and once again I am super happy with how everything went. Communication is easy and efficient, I love getting photo updates, Clyde always looks so happy on the photos. He's getting playtime and great care with Maud, it puts my mind at ease when I'm away because I know Clyde is in great hands. Thank you Maud!
Amber had such a wonderful stay! Manni was so attentive to her needs and put real thought into making her comfortable and keeping her entertained. Amber is usually quite shy, so seeing her warm up to both her sitter and her adorable schnauzer made me so happy. I loved receiving multiple videos each day showing what Amber was up to. Manni spent time playing with Amber and planning fun activities, and even made homemade natural dog treats for her to chew on. It was lovely knowing Amber was getting so much care and attention while we were away. We’ll definitely book again and would highly recommend her!
Arya is amazing! Our little dog loves staying with her, and you can tell she really cares about him. She always makes sure he’s comfortable and enjoying his time with her. I really appreciate how caring she is and how she keeps us updated with photos and videos while he’s there. It gives us peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands. We’re so happy to have found her! ❤️
Our dog had a wonderful vacation with Tianshi! Tianshi is a truly experienced dog lover. We received constant updates on our dog's walks and overall well-being, and he was genuinely happy and comfortable. He had a luxurious experience with even more walks than we usually give him, plus fun playing football (soccer) with Tianshi and his family! TJ has never eaten on his first day away from home and has never jumped up to say goodbye to a dog sitter before-so seeing both happen with Tianshi was an incredible first!
Over the moon to find a Rover we trust! Sisi was excellent in communication and caregiving for our large dog for several days and night. When we picked up our pup, we could tell by her demeanor that she was so loved and adored while we were away. Our pet was treated better than family in Sisi's care. Thank you again!
Blip stayed with Celine while we were on vacation, and we felt so comfortable the whole time. We received daily updates with lots of photos, which made us feel connected and reassured. Blip looked like she was having a little vacation of her own! She was clearly happy and well cared for. We’d happily book again and warmly recommend Celine to other pet parents!
We felt completely leaving NOA in your care. During her stay, you sent us photos to keep us updated on how she was doing. The number of updates was just right, not too many and not too few, which we really appreciated. I think she had a great time playing with Sienna, who is about the same size as her. She must have had a lot of fun, because last night she was snoring while she slept! 😆😆 We would like to use your services again in the future.Thank you again for taking such good care of NOA, and we look forward to seeing you again!
Ting and Shiu took care of Duke like he was their own dog. They took him out for numerous walks, ensured he was cared for and even gave him a bath after a full day of fun in the mudd. We are so grateful for their caring attitude and wonderful care. They even fixed a toy he broke and sewed it back together. Thank you for keeping him safe and happy while we were away. Highly recommend booker with them and we would book again.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog-sitting experience! ❤️ They went above and beyond every expectation. Maisie enjoyed long walks, endless love and cuddles, and was truly treated like a member of their family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she wasn’t just being looked after, but genuinely loved and cared for while I was away. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and attention they gave her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their fur baby. We will absolutely be booking with them again! 🐾❤️

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
sitters in Willowdale have an average of 12 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
You and your Willowdale sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
