“Ting-wei was absolutely amazing. Our little girl has separation anxiety and it was our first time using a sitter. She was absolutely amazing. She kept her calm and updated us with pictures. She followed evey instructions. We will 100% be using her services again and recommend her.”
“Lily was so kind and accommodating for us and our pup. She has a very calming energy that I am sure our pup could feel! I would certainly recommend working with her and look forward to working with her again :)”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog and house sitter! Andrea was incredibly responsible, flexible, and accommodating, making the entire experience stress-free for us. She kept in regular communication, providing daily updates and adorable photos of our two Airedales, which we greatly appreciated. When we returned, our home was spotless, and our dogs were clearly well cared for and happy. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: We are a couple wfh, who provide calm, attentive, and reliable care, treating every pet as if they were our own. We’re very mindful of routines, potty schedules, and feeding times. I’ve had dogs since I was a child, so I understand that every dog has a unique personality and benefits from a personalized approach to care. My husband also grew up caring for pets, including a dog, hamsters, a turtle, and birds, which has helped us develop patience and attentiveness with different types of animals. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. Since we work from home, we're able to structure our day around walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and companionship, ensuring pets are never left alone for long periods. In our apartment, pets are free to move around and relax comfortably. There is also a balcony where they can enjoy some fresh air during the day. We live in a calm, family-friendly neighbourhood, with a nearby park that’s perfect for walks and outdoor time.
About: Cat, dog, and all around animal person who has pet-sat for friends and family. Growing up, I've developed great skills for caring for small mammals as well as small to medium sized dogs and cats over the last few years. I'm currently working contract and backfill positions so my schedule is flexible. I'm available for boarding most weekends and weekdays after 4 pm as well as day visits and walking most weekdays. I diligently follow your pets' schedule, ensuring their routine remains consistent. I'm more than happy to go outside for walks, rain or shine. Above all, I believe in providing regular updates so that you can enjoy your vacations stress-free (bonus: I take great pictures).
“This was our second time having Nicole look after our 2 dogs, and we couldn’t be happier with her care! She keeps in touch with us, sends photos, and even let us know that our food supply might be running low so we could plan for when we get home! When we got home from our trip the dogs actually tried to leave with her (which personally made me sad-but I love how happy they were with her!).”
“I had a great experience with Steffany. She communicated clearly, was incredibly reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Steffany to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter”
“To start with, thank you so much for taking care of Bella and accepting the sit on such a short notice. The moment Sabrina came through the front door for the meet and greet Bella reacted like seeing an old friend and she got attached to Sabrina like a Velcro. At the meet and greet Sabrina ask all the right questions regarding Bella’s routine, likes and dislikes. She is very professional and super friendly and accommodating. She sent us very detailed messages accompanied by lots of pictures and videos. When we retuned home Bella was a happy girl and after Sabrina left she kept looking for her. I whole heartily recommend Sabrina, especially to people like me who hesitate a lot when it comes to trusting anyone with the care of their fur baby. Thank you again Sabrina!”
“Mary was absolutely fantastic with Frankie and Millie! She was warm, reliable, and instantly connected with both of them. Her updates and photos kept us completely at ease, and it was clear the dogs were having a great time. We came home to two happy pups and everything perfectly in order. Highly recommend Mary, we’ll definitely book her again! 🐾”
“Ernest was amazing! He was so reliable, and took such great care of my puppy, Taco! Taco is so looking forward to continuing to walk and spend time with you! Thanks so much for this!”
“Elizabeth was very thoughtful and was taking such good care of our baby who is very energetic. She genuinely loves and is passionate about dogs and I fully trust her with my fur baby. Molly loves her. Thank you so much Elizabeth.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Jillian made it a great experience! She was right on time and immediately our dog Mylo felt comfortable with her. When we got home Mylo was happy and clearly very well taken care of. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Devin was wonderful with my girls! While housesitting, she attended to their care instructions very well and updated me each day with how they were doing. Our place was kept neat and tidy, and she was very considerate of our space. I felt rest assured knowing that she was keeping our girls happy and well loved!”
“Svetlana was very sweet and reliable. She put us at ease. We were confident and assured that our cat was in good hands with her and were able to enjoy a few days away from home without worry. She provided regular updates with lots of photos. Would definitely recommend her services.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12, I normally walk dogs and make sure to be focused on their necessities. I've done senior care with not only my dog but my neighbours and I have always been happy to do it and be with them whenever I can be useful. I can basically walk or sit every Monday to Thursday from 4-11 or 12 (it depends). Fridays to Sundays y can work any hour for how ever much time you need. I stay with the dog(s) all the time. If I am going on a walk with them then I am most definitely trying to go for long distances or whatever the dog needs or wants (it will mostly depend on their age). I would love to hear anything special that you'd want me to do with you dog, because I will be delighted to do it. I mostly play with them till they tire out and just try to vibe with them.
“I was a bit apprehensive leaving my cat Timmy for the first time after moving to Toronto. Nejla put my fears to rest. She kept Timmy very happy and provided me with tremendous comfort with lots of updates and so many pictures. She left the condo in great shape too. I highly recommend Nejla for anyone seeking a pet sitter.”
“Hannah was communicative, polite and very loving to JuJu. I don’t often need a dog sitter, but when I do I will definitely be in touch with Hannah for her services again. She was awesome!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15 years old. I’ve built deep connections with the dogs I’ve cared for and genuinely love spending time with them, understanding their personalities, and making them feel safe and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy giving dogs the care, affection, and companionship they deserve. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I really enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s playing with them, going for walks, or just making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I’m available in the mornings or evenings. I always follow their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, play, and exercise. For dogs, I take them on walks and make sure they get outdoor time. For cats, I focus on play, companionship, and keeping their space clean and calm. I also make sure to respect the client’s home and keep everything clean and organized while they are away.
“Saeedeh is amazing! She is very professional and prompt in her communications. She arrived on time and ensured Tie received lots of attention and walks. Tie absolutely enjoyed his time with her.”
Willowdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
It's so easy having Mary Elizabeth to look after our two girls - she knows them so well now! She pays attention to the idiosyncrasies they have and makes sure they are happy 100% of the time. She sends us photos each day (we love that) and keeps us up to date while we are away. We would recommend Mary Elizabeth to anyone looking for a high quality dog sitter, she is fabulous.
Again, Sabrina didn’t disappoint! Amazing care and love shown to Bella. She even brought her a toy, which of course Bella enjoys very much. Sabrina goes above and beyond when it comes to fur babies trusted in her care and she also makes sure that their parents are kept up to date with everything that is going on. She is the only sitter we trust to care for Bella when we are away. Thank you Sabrina for your love and support!!!
Steffany was exceptional with our very anxious dog, Maggie. Maggie formed a bond with her very early on & was very relaxed with her. Steffany was dependable, prompt with all communications and a lovely person to work with. We were completely confident that our dog was in good hands while we were away.
I was a bit apprehensive leaving my cat Timmy for the first time after moving to Toronto. Nejla put my fears to rest. She kept Timmy very happy and provided me with tremendous comfort with lots of updates and so many pictures. She left the condo in great shape too. I highly recommend Nejla for anyone seeking a pet sitter.
Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our dog from January 3rd to January 10th, 2026. You were truly extraordinary, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving, attentive, and reliable hands. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness, professionalism, and dedication. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter—thank you again for everything!
We have had Nicole dog sit for us multiple times. We have always been thrilled with the care she provides our dogs. And now that we adopted a third, she really had her work cut out for her taking care of three dogs (all different ages). She was amazing, sent us pics and updates every day! Our dogs are so happy to see Nicole, it puts our minds at ease when we are away.
My husband and I adopted our cat, Ziggy, from Jamaica in July and we had alot of anxiety about our upcoming trip with it being such a short amount of time since getting him, and having to leave the country. Kanishka put our worries to rest immediately and within the first few days, it was clear how comfortable Ziggy was with her! It was quite special to see the bond that they shared. She provided us with updates, pictures and responded to any questions we had promptly. She went above and beyond and we would not hesitate to have her watch Ziggy again in the future!
