“Anissa is an excellent cat sitter. She ensured to follow my instructions and took careful care of my babies. Photos and videos were sent after each session. She even swept the house when she was not required to. I would highly recommend her.”

“The cats loved her so much I added an extra day of care! I came home to only mildly peeved cats affronted that we would leave so long, rather than truly annoyed creatures plotting our doom. :)”

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.
About: I have been taking care of cats since I can't even remember actually. Cats naturally like me and I loveeee them all You can trust me for your cat care. Day or night.. I can come to your house if you live close by or close to transit. Feed them, play with them. I'm currently working part time at my home so I have plenty of time to take your precious ones. I have two teenage daughters too and they can help me after school as well. I respect you and follow your instructions. I have a home with a yard which is semi closed. I have a cat at home. She is neutralised, calm and easy going cat. She likes going out. You can leave your cat to me for many days and I make sure I will take him/her with responsability and follow your instructions.
About: I’m a huge animal lover with 3 years of experience looking after pets of cats and dogs. Whether you’ve got a playful pup or a cuddly cat, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and feel right at home while you’re away. I have taught my cat Gemini several tricks and she loves to do ‘training’ because she enjoys it. I also trained her so I can walk her outdoor with leash on. I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to get to know their quirks and routines—whether that’s belly rubs, daily walks, playtime, or just lots of love and attention. If your pet has special needs or gets a little anxious, no worries! I’m super patient and know how to keep them calm and comfortable. I’m working hybrid so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m mostly available on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and weekend. Let me know ahead and I will make it work. While I’m spending time with your pets, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics and messages so you can relax knowing your buddy’s doing great.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with 6+ years of hands-on experience raising my own Shiba Inu from a mischievous puppy into a well-behaved, happy adult. I gave her my whole heart and attended multiple pet training courses with her. After a heartbreaking breakup, she’s no longer with me, and I miss her every single day. But I realized I still have so much love and care to give, and I’d love to share it with your dogs as if they were my own😊. Since joining Rover, and through helping friends care for their dogs, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes, especially small to medium breeds, from tiny Maltese to senior bulldog. I’m patient with dogs who are new to boarding or feeling nervous, and I’m great at helping them adjust comfortably to a new environment. I also seem to have a natural connection with dogs haha and they usually warm up to me very quickly and love to stay close by🥰I’m attentive, always follow each owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for with plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I work from home most weekdays. I’m around for regular supervision and flexible potty breaks based on your dog’s needs. During the day (9–5), I can provide potty breaks in the morning and at lunch, along with 2–3 walks of up to 30 minutes each depending on your dog’s routine and energy level. I live with no kids or other pets, which creates a calm, quiet environment with minimal distraction, great for dogs who prefer a peaceful space or need time to settle in. After 5 p.m. and on weekends, I have even more time to dedicate to your pup for longer walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I live alone in a cozy, pet-friendly condo in a safe neighborhood in North York core with lots of families and young professionals around. My unit is on a high floor and sits behind the main street, so it stays quiet with minimal street noise, perfect for pets who like a calm space. I don’t have tall or high-heel furniture, so it’s safe for curious pets who like to jump or explore. My lifestyle is simple and peaceful - I cook lightly, have few electronic devices, and there are no children or other pets, so visiting pets get my full attention. Whether I’m caring for animals in my home or at a client’s, I keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

About: Hi, I'm Juhe (or you can call me Ellie)! I have been a dog lover ever since when I was a kid! I've been caring for my own dog, Happy, through every life stage. I'm comfortable with: · Small breeds and their unique quirks · Reading dog body language (when they want to play vs. when they want space) · Sticking to routines (feeding, potty breaks, medication if needed) · Adjusting walk length and speed based on weather and your dog's mood that day I have a full time work so my schedule would be: • Weekdays: Evenings only (available 7pm onward) • Weekends: Flexible morning, afternoon, and evening slots Safety is my top priority. I always keep doors locked during visits and double-check before I leave. I follow your instructions carefully—whether that's leash preferences, potty schedules, or feeding routines.
“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.”

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 been caring for dogs my whole life, from looking after friends’ and family members’ pets to providing them with lots of love, attention, and care. I’m also a professional dog groomer, so I have experience handling dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. You can feel confident knowing your pets are in caring, experienced, and trustworthy hands! I’m currently in my last year of university and have a very light schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability. I live alone and am naturally a homebody, so I spend most of my time at home. This makes me a great fit for pets who love having company, attention, and affection throughout the day! I’m happy to spend lots of quality time with your pets and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I live alone, so your pet will have a calm, quiet, and comfortable environment with plenty of one-on-one attention. I always prioritize their safety and well-being and will treat them like my own. ❤️
“Sabrina was very detail oriented, experienced, and caring to my cats. While it was my first time using the app, she took care of potential problems there might be and ensure everything is taken care of. My cats got along with her very quickly and had a great time when I was away. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, including a Border Collie and smaller breeds. I’m comfortable with both active, high-energy dogs and smaller dogs with different exercise needs. I make sure dogs get outside at least twice a day, with walks typically lasting 30–60 minutes depending on their energy level and routine. I also enjoy providing plenty of playtime, toys, attention, and companionship at home. I’m happy to follow each owner’s usual routine and care instructions so their dog can feel comfortable and well cared for while they’re away. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks on weekends, as well as on weekday evenings after work. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I have more flexibility and can also provide daytime care. My schedule may vary slightly, so feel free to message me and I’ll be happy to coordinate a time that works best for you and your pet. I live in a condo with my own cat, so I generally prefer providing drop-in visits and walks at your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. My cat is friendly and is used to being around dogs, so I can also accommodate pets in my home when needed. They are welcome to move around freely in the condo and spend time with us. Safety is always important to me. Even though my cat is comfortable around dogs, I prefer to separate them when I’m away from home or overnight, especially with a new dog, until I’m confident that they are completely comfortable with each other. I’ll always follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and relaxed stay.

About: I have spent the last 2 years caring for dogs and cats for friends, family and neighbours, including walks, feeding, medication reminders and overnight stays. I work from home as a content creator, so my schedule is flexible and your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I'm usually home throughout the day. I keep a calm, clean and safe home [with no other pets], so your pet gets my full attention. Before every stay, I go over your pet's routine, food, meds and any quirks so nothing changes for them. Doors and gates stay closed, food and hazards are kept out of reach, and walks are always on leash. I send photo updates daily so you know exactly how they're doing.
About: I have over 25 years of experience with pets. I’ve walked, fed, played and taken care of dogs my whole life. Looking to help walk. I currently am free most afternoons after work to take your pet for a walk or feed and play with them if you are away. I care for pets like they are my own, ensure they are always safe and comfortable and make sure they get their required daily exercise.
“Nicole is very responsive and took a lot of photo of my cat.. my cat is really enjoy with her.. She is very helpful to help me for the extra work of my cat..I have already booked her for my next trip..🥰”

About: From a Pack of Five to Gogo the Golden: A Lifelong Pet Care Journey Filled with Love and Learning! During my childhood, I had the incredible joy of sharing my home with five wonderful dogs, taking care of them from the time they were playful puppies until they reached their golden years. Those furry companions taught me valuable lessons in responsibility, patience, and unconditional love. Now, as a proud homeowner, I have the pleasure of caring for my own beloved canine companion, Gogo, a playful and friendly golden retriever. I welcomed her into my life when she was just a tiny ball of fur at two months old, and together we have embarked on an amazing adventure. With a thirst for knowledge, I have continuously sought out the latest scientific insights on proper nutrition and training techniques to ensure Gogo's wellbeing. By applying these newfound skills, I have been able to prevent most behavioral issues and successfully address any challenges that have arisen. Today, Gogo is not only a bundle of joy but also a well-behaved and mannered member of our community. Countless individuals who have crossed paths with her have marveled at her delightful disposition and commendable behavior. My love for animals extends beyond dogs, as I am equally enamored with feline friends. Whenever my friends are away, I happily offer my services as a cat caregiver, ensuring their furry companions receive the attention, care, and playtime they deserve. With the knowledge and experience Gogo has bestowed upon me, I am eager to extend my pet care services to more delightful creatures. The opportunity to nurture and care for other pets would be a privilege, as I apply the skills and affectionate approach that Gogo has taught me throughout our incredible journey together. Flexible and Dedicated Pet Care Schedule: Your Furry Friend's Needs Come First! With my flexible work arrangements, I have the freedom to cater to your pet's needs at almost any time. By pre-booking, I ensure that I can be available to provide the attention and care your furry friend deserves. Condo Living with Pet-Friendly Vibes: Safety and Focus on Your Dog's Well-being! Living in a condo environment, I understand the importance of ensuring the safety and comfort of both your furry friend and the other residents. Rest assured, your dog's friendly nature will be respected and embraced within the community. When we venture out for walks, I will always keep a leash on your dog, adhering to responsible pet ownership practices. This helps maintain control and ensures the safety of your beloved companion and others we encounter along the way. During our walks, my undivided attention will be dedicated to your dog. I believe in being fully present and engaged, keeping a watchful eye on their movements and behavior. By prioritizing their needs, we can create a positive and enjoyable walking experience for your furry friend. Let's embark on walks filled with attention, leash control, and a dog-centric focus, making every outing a safe and joyful experience for your beloved furry friend.

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.

Pet 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.
