Pet Sitting in Willowdale

“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. :)”

“Anissa was such a caring cat sitter! Frida thrived in her care and I truly appreciate her detailed posts on how Frida was doing when I was away. She was prompt and easy to communicate with. Thank you for showing so much care for my cat!”

“I cannot recommend Jiaying enough! She was incredibly attentive and careful with my pets during my 45-day trip back home. Every day, she sent me plenty of photos and detailed updates, so I always knew my pets were happy and well taken care of. She’s truly reliable, patient, and gentle with animals, and her loving care gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My pets were clearly comfortable and happy with her, which meant everything to me. I will absolutely book her again and strongly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible, and loving pet care.”

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: 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.

“Alaia is amazing! - she and our puppy bound immediately, she truly cares for our little Bamba's wellbeing. Communication is very good, she arrives sharp on time, sends updates, leaves everything beyond tidy and clean. Recommend 10/10!, we're rebooking regularly :-)”

About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals, dogs, cats, and even small pets like hamsters, so being around them just feels natural to me. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, and I connect with them really easily, whether they’re super energetic or more shy and calm. I’ve also taken care of my friends’ dogs a few times, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very responsible and patient, and I always pay attention to what each pet needs. I’m also pretty confident with basic training and helping reinforce good habits in a gentle way. I truly treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of love, care, and attention. My schedule is pretty flexible and fits well into my daily routine. I’m available after 12 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I’m also available in the mornings and after 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. During the summer, my schedule is much more flexible, which allows me to be more available for pet care as needed. I provide a safe, loving, and pet-friendly environment both in my home and in my client’s home. I live in a very dog-friendly building where many of my neighbors have pets, and there’s a park right in front of my building where I take dogs on regular walks and make sure they get lots of fresh air and exercise. At home, pets are always treated like part of the family. My siblings and I all genuinely love animals, so there are always caring and responsible people around to give them attention, play with them, and make sure they feel comfortable and happy. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels safe by keeping things consistent with their usual routine. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, cared for, and loved, no matter where they are!

“Yunni is very easy to talk to and she follows instructions easily and precisely:) my cat loves her and I came home to see her happy and healthy:) will definitely book her again!”

“Sabrina is very compassionate and professional. I can tell she loves her job. Also, she has good attention to details in terms of your pet's needs and routine. I would definitely book with her again. 😃”

About: Hi! I’m Natalia — a lifelong dog lover with over 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies to mellow seniors.

Whether it’s in your home or mine, your pet gets the same level of care I give my own.

“Anita took really good care of both of my cats, she took the initiative to come and get familiar with them before i even booked her. They got comfortable with her almost instantly, i would absolutely book her again and would highly recommend her to look after your fur babies!”

“Mardi took great care of my cat, Cleo, while I was out of town. She followed all the drop-in care instructions perfectly and updated me via message on how Cleo was doing while I was away which kept me from worrying. I’d definitely hire Mardi again!”

About: Love & caring (feeding, play, dog walks) different sizes of dogs with their unique personalities. Experienced with positive reinforcement training and handling puppies and non-reactive/agressive adult dogs. I am currently WFH so will have plenty of time with your pup and always keep you with frequent updates. I usually take my Border Collie boy for a walk twice a day in the neighborhoods, and out for longer trails (or beaches) one or two times a week further north. I live in a condo with big living room space for activities, and potty pads always accessible so there’s no need for your pup to hold the pee anytime (if they are already potty trained), even in between the potty breaks taken outdoor. I have a friendly and trained 40lbs border collie boy as a good company at home and play pen/crate are there in case they need a little space for themselves. For dog walks, depending on the dog size, activity level and personality, I can drive/take them to off leash trails, hikes, or easy neighborhood walks.

About: I absolutely adore cats, and caring for them brings me immense joy. My husband and I have had two adorable cats together, Zosya and Boun, and we’re big-time cat lovers! While we're not quite ready to adopt another furry friend just yet, we truly miss having a little dough kneader around the house. That’s why we’d be so happy to care for your kitties! We have extensive experience and know exactly what it takes to keep a cat feeling safe, cozy, and content. There's nothing better than getting to know their quirky, silly personalities and spending time playing and bonding. Along with having cats of my own, I’ve also helped out friends and family with cat-sitting, so your feline is in good hands! My husband and I both work from home as software developers so we'll be around to give your cat the attention that he/she deserves. We'll make sure to follow the feeding schedule you require and any other requirements. I live in a 2 bedroom condo with plenty of space and light. All my plants are cat safe. Your cat will be kept indoor in the condo at all times

About: From the moment they enter our world/life till the moment they cross the rainbow bridge, I've learned so much from these beautiful creatures we adopt into our family. My latest family dog, an energetic and excited border collie, helped me truly understand the importance of stability, love, exercise, and play, especially for energetic or working dog breeds. From puppy to senior care, I've done it all and loved being the two-legged buddy to our furry friends! After moving out to university, I've found myself ending up, in one way or another, fostering cats that have unfortunately ended up with nowhere else to go. Knowing I couldn't turn away a soul in need, I've learned so much more about cats, especially when they're in a new environment/ around new people. Showing stability, consistency, love, and respect has so far earned me beautiful bonds with every cat I've spent time with, whether in my own home or in the homes of others. I'm confident I can take care of your little loved ones and hopefully make your stay away from your home and pet(s) at least a little bit easier! I currently work from home / online, so I can be available any day / time to care for your pet. For overnights / if you'd like me to stay for multiple days, I would bring my laptop to work (I do not use audio / video for my job). So really, the flexibility of my current schedule would likely make booking me easier for you! Since I live in a basement apartment (with 2 cats), I wouldn't be available to offer services out of my own home. However, I make it a habit to take care of daily hygiene (eg. cleaning litter boxes, brushing, nail clipping depending on temperament, etc.), feeding according to instructions and schedules, and ensuring pets get an adequate amount of play and exercise. I've found that the more play and activity an animal does during the day can greatly impact their temperament and sleep.
