About: l have always taken care of animals. I have a strong connection with them. I am very aware of animals behaviours and needs as well as body language. I believe all animals are apart of the family and will be treated as so:) I work from home and I have a very active life style. Taking my dogs for a morning and afternoon adventure is very important to my daily routine. My backyard is fenced and secure. I have 1 pup who is 1.5 years old and will love to have a friend to play with. I also have a 16 year old dog who likes to sleep and chill out. My house also has a 3 year old toddler who loves animals. His safety is my number 1 priority. Please only request booking if your doggies are OK with little children.

About: I’ve cared for my 4 poodles for over 8 years back at Hong Kong and fostered 3 small dogs in Toronto. With experience in daily care, walks, and lots of love, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for like my own. I’ll be around to give your dog plenty of care and attention outside of my work hours, including regular potty walks and quality time together. On weekends, my boyfriend and I can also take them on road trips and outdoor adventures for some extra fun, exercise, and enrichment. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep a close eye on dogs during walks, and make sure they are never left unattended outdoors. I have experience handling small breeds, understand their needs, and will treat your pup with patience and care as if they were my own.

About: Our experience fostering and raising our own has given us a strong foundation and we’re comfortable with all kinds of personalities—from high-energy puppies to more sensitive dogs. We stick to routines, reinforce basic training, and pay close attention to behaviour to keep things calm and stress-free. I work from home during the week, so I’m around all day to keep an eye on the dogs and give them attention, walks, and breaks as needed. On weekends, we like to get outside and stay active, whether that’s longer walks or trips to the dog park. We keep things calm, structured, and as close to your dog’s normal routine as possible. We’ll follow your feeding schedule, walk routine, and any training or house rules you have so your dog feels comfortable and settled. Since I work from home, your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and regular breaks throughout the day.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, puppies, senior dogs and everything in between. I look at the dog's body language and adjust as needed. I'm also very mindful of your furry friend's food allergies or sensitivities. And I love to support any training that you already have going on. I have my own almost 2 year old sassy girl. My default though, for walks and in home visits will be to attend without her so that your doggy gets 100% of my attention. If you’d like to have a playmate for your dog though, let me know and I’ll be happy to bring her (she loves playing or walking with other dogs). I'm available for walks or drop-in visits (I try to keep my calendar up to date). I have my own doggy, but I love helping other dog owners when I can, since my schedule is usually flexible. I am in a pet-friendly condo, so I'm very mindful of taking dogs out frequently for their needs. I'm also very mindful of behavioural issues like resource guarding or reactivity.

About: I've had the pleasure of caring for several dogs over the years, and it's taught me that no two dogs are alike — each one has their own personality and needs their own kind of care and attention. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, whether it's dogs, cats, fish, or anything in between. That lifelong love for animals is exactly why I take pet sitting seriously — I treat every dog like they're my own. My weekdays are committed to work, but I'm free every evening after 6 PM for walks, drop-ins, or playtime. Weekends are when I really shine as a sitter — I'm available for boarding and can dedicate uninterrupted time to keeping a dog happy, active, and well cared for. I make it a priority to follow a client's instructions exactly — feeding times, walking routines, medications, and the little things like a favorite blanket or toy. In my own home, I create a calm, secure space where pets can relax and settle in naturally. My focus is always on keeping their routine familiar and their environment stress-free.

About: I love dogs and cats, and I enjoy spending time with them. I am a volunteer at a cat shelter in my hometown. We don't have a pet at the moment, but we are saving money so that one day our dream of having a pet can come true. I am currently working as Partime, so I have time to take care of your furry friend :) please rest assured your pet staying. I will send you tons of picture of your furry friend staying. I don't have a yard, but I'll happily take your furry friend on a walkathon, rain or shine! We'll strut our stuff two to three times a day, making the neighborhood jealous of our pawsome adventures. And hey, if you've got a cat, I'll be the litter box whisperer, cleaning it out like a feline sanitation guru, two to three times a day. Your pet's kingdom will be fit for a purr-fect royalty!

About: I started to have my first dog since 4 years ago but I’ve learned constantly about dog behaviours, positive reinforcement training and also nutritional knowledge. I have so much passion and love for those fluffy ones. Would absolutely love and care for your cute furry family member! ❤️ I’m currently WFH 👩🏻‍💻 so I have plenty of time during the day to accompany your pets. Because of this, I also have lots of flexibly taking your pet for a walk, or meds feeding depending on your personal requests. I am currently living in a condo by myself but I take my dog downstairs for walks at least 2 times a day for at least 30 mins each time. If you’d like a longer walk, no problem just let me know! I also understand dog social behaviours and will make sure your dog is well protected from others or unfriendly socialization. 🦮

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up taking care of my lizards, parrots, bunnies, and my dog. Any chance I got, I was spending time with somebody else's pet, too. I now have my own kitty at home, who makes every day fun! PLEASE NOTE: All walks, drop-ins, or house sitting can only be done after 6pm on all weekdays, due to my work schedule. While I work full-time in an office during the week, I'm available early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to drop in and take care of your fur babies at your own home while you’re away or busy. I will follow any instructions given to me regarding feed times, play routines, and overall care. I want your pets to be comfortable and continue all of their daily habits!

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs since I was a child, having a beautiful Pekingese for more than 14 years and learning to love animals of all kind. I have plenty of time to play with you pups, and I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends after 1 pm or early if you need it. I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment, whether they stay in my home or I visit the clients ‘ home. I live in an apartment with a park right in front of the building, so pets have easy access to outdoor walks, exercise, and playtime. When pets stay in my home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space to rest, and plenty of attention and affection. When I care for pets in the clients ‘s home, I maintain their usual routine to help them feel secure. I keep their space clean, follow all feeding and medication instructions, and provide regular walks and playtime, I always prioritize safety, communication, and the pet’s well being.

About: Hi, I’m Maurice. I grew up in the Netherlands and growing up my family fostered rescue dogs from Spain, so I’m used to all kinds of personalities—shy, anxious, high-energy, or reactive. I stay calm, read body language, and give dogs time to feel safe around me. I live in North York and keep routines steady: on-leash walks, fresh water, meds or meals as directed, doors locked, and harness/collar checks before every walk. No off-leash or dog parks unless you ask me to, and we can always try a short walk together first, to see if the dog is responsive to me. You’ll get clear updates each visit. I’m comfortable with large breeds, senior dogs, and pets with quirks or reactivity. I follow your training cues and your household rules. I’m currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for your pets. I’m usually available weekends and weekday afternoons (after 2pm), but I’m happy to adjust—just reach out. Most bookings happen in your home so pets stay relaxed in their routine. I’m calm, tidy, respectful of your space, and happy to do a meet-and-greet first.

About: 🐾 Special Offer for New Rover Users! Use my code ANISHA25873 and get $20 off your first Rover booking. My partner and I both love having dogs. My two dogs reside in India with my family. We both work from home which makes sure the dogs is always given full attention and care. PET CARE EXPERIENCE I believe pets are not just animals — they are family. Anyone who loves animals understands that they are companions who bring joy, comfort, and personality into our lives. As a dog lover and owner of two dogs myself, I understand both a pet’s needs and the concerns that owners have when trusting someone else with their furry family members. With nearly 12 years of experience caring for my own dogs, I’m very familiar with their routines, behavior, and the attention they need to stay happy and healthy. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Your fluffy companion will always receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection in my care. WHAT I OFFER 🐾 Dog Walks Walks are often the highlight of a dog’s day. With years of experience walking my own dogs, I understand how important it is for them to explore, exercise, and enjoy their surroundings. I make sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to your dog’s energy level. 🐾 Drop-In Visits Leaving pets alone for long periods can be stressful for both pets and owners. During drop-in visits I make sure your pet gets their meals on time, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and attention so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. 🐾 House Sitting Traveling can be difficult when you’re worried about your pet. Instead of moving them to an unfamiliar boarding environment, I can stay in your home and care for them where they feel most comfortable. This helps maintain their normal routine and reduces stress while you’re away. MY REQUIREMENTS To ensure the safety and well-being of all pets, I kindly ask for: • Up-to-date vaccinations • Honest disclosure of your pet’s behavior, temperament, likes, and dislikes • Any feeding instructions, medications, or special care needs COMMUNICATION Please feel free to message me anytime if you have questions or would like to arrange a meet-and-greet. I’d love to get to know you and your furry family member! I work from home and live with my partner who also works from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily follow your pet’s usual schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. My flexible routine allows me to make sure pets are not left alone for long periods and that they receive the care, attention, and companionship they need during the day. I live in a clean, pet-friendly condo with plenty of nearby parks and green spaces that are perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. Pets staying with me are treated like family — they are welcome on the furniture and even the bed if that’s something they are used to at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to respect their space while maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for whether they are staying with me or I am caring for them in their own home.

I was stress-free leaving my big dog with her because she was kind enough to pop by for a meet and greet the day before, even though the booking was last minute.

Hazel is almost 13 and this was the first time I have used a dog walking service. I was nervous. I felt better immediately when I met Ali for the "meet and greet". I was out for a long day yesterday and Ali came twice to walk and feed and visit with Hazel. I got messages and photos after each visit and came home to a happy dog. I am very pleased with Ali and hope to continue long term with his services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Willowdale on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 6,349 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Willowdale. About 86% of Willowdale 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.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Willowdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

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 Willowdale 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
