“Kimberly was great with Peaches. She obviously has experience with dogs and obviously loves dogs. She was great to come to our home the day before our first booking for a "meet and greet" to find out where we live, to meet Peaches and to make arrangements for access for the next day. We learned that she lives right around the corner and often bike rides in our neighborhood. That made us feel very comfortable to allow her access to our home, and to put Peaches in her care. She showed up, on time, walked and played with Peaches twice the day of the booking as we had arranged. We were pleased and would definitely use her again.”



“Marna was absolutely wonderful with our cat! She was very reliable and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a relaxing vacation and our pet was well cared for! I would highly recommend her! :)”


“Haley Jo took fantastic care of my two kitties while I was away for the weekend. She stopped by twice a day to feed and love on them and I came home to two very happy cats. Will definitely work with Haley Jo again!!”

“Nishat agreed to a multi-day, multiple visits per day, booking with less than 2 weeks notice. She stopped by to meet them in advance of our trip and took her time to get to know each of them. She was very calm, gentle, and caring. Our dog and cats took to her right away. She did a great job caring for them while we were away, even diligently providing them medication that was prescribed *after* she had agreed to the booking. We are so pleased with Nishat and grateful to have found her!”



“Stacey once again did an exceptional job taking care of our boys. She provided thorough updates and plenty of sweet photos. I never questioned if our boys were being well cared for. She also went above and beyond by watering our plants. We are happy to have someone reliable and that our cats feel comfortable with when we are away. Thanks Stacey!”


About: I am an animal lover who specializes in enrichment walks and play. All ages, 1 on 1 care. I am just like you! I have owned pets my whole life, I know how much they mean to our families and your boundaries and their health matter most to me. Happiness is everyone cared for and safe. I have a completely flexible schedule and I’ll be solely focused on Rover this summer and growing this business. I love to be outdoors and am an organized individual. My pet passed in February due to old age and so we have a full setup just waiting to accommodate a pup in need of a stay. We have animal beds, toys, A yard (not fenced in) with a chain run and lots of neighborhood to walk in! We also have a disabled person in the home with so much love to give to animals with a need for more affection and who can ensure someone is with your furry friend if we need to run an errand. We love a dog park or beach run if that’s what your pup is into, and our car is well equipped with baggies and h2o bowls to make sure any trip is safe and fun.

“Julia was great at caring for our pups. She did an hour long drop in and made sure they had some time outside and our pup was not in his kennel while my wife was working. Thank you for taking care of them and helping us out.”


“Absolutely wonderful, I trust her with my puppy 1000%. She does active training while on the drop in walks and is quick to fill out the report card and let me know how it went! Wonderful dog walker.”


“Very personable, and Zoey did a great job caring for my two cats. When I returned home, they were happy, healthy, and their litter had clearly been scooped regularly. I'd definitely book again!”


“Jesika was an amazing sitter! She made sure that our cats were taken care of and more than exceeded our expectations as first time Rover users. We are so grateful for her to come and help us even during the holidays.”



“Karen and Steve were great with Crosby. He had only been there one other time, but ran to the door and settled right in. This is not his typically behavior. We had a 100% confidence he was well taken care of and will definitely book again.”


About: I'm a lifelong dog owner and have enjoyed the experience of teaching my daughters the joys and responsibilities of caring for our dogs. As lead parent, I've been passionate about opting for daily outdoor adventures with my daughters and dogs and have often heard, "Boy, you have your hands full!", to which I have always replied, "I need to keep everybody happy somehow." Romps on the beach or marsh, trail running, and biking or rollerblading the Eastern Trail are just a few of our favorites. Over the past few years, we've said goodbye to our beloved Boss and Kona. We're still craving dog energy around our home and outdoor adventures, and want to assist other families in the Scarborough community to achieve "a tired dog, a happy dog" experience that we've known and love. We feel blessed to have a doggy daycare buddy, Finnegan, with us most weekdays and he is dog friendly. I work from home while my daughters are in school and am off with them during the summer months. We are available to care for your dog throughout the day and evening, and love boarding dogs for overnights. Summer hours are very flexible for walks. During the school year we can walk your dog weekdays after 3:30PM; or as scheduled outside of those hours upon request. My Mondays and Fridays tend to be light on my primary work and I carve out time for doggy adventures and exercise. We can accommodate based on your needs and recommendations specific for your dog(s). Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral issues beforehand. If any medication needs to be administered, I'd be glad to assist.

About: I have years of experience in both cat & dog care. I currently work at a dog daycare where I have gained knowledge in dog behavior, training cues & first aid. I am available M-F (weekend visits can be discussed, but not available on a regular basis) Hours: 6 am to 4 pm Special circumstances: Can be discussed Although I would love to bring your pup to my fenced-in yard, my own pups would go crazy inside. 🤪. I am able to come to your home & care for your pet exactly as you would like. Each animal can expect love (if open to taking it) and tender handling.

About: I have extensive experience with a wide range of animals. I have had dogs since childhood and currently have two of my own. Both of my dogs are rescues, a senior rat terrier/chihuahua mix and a reactive min-pin, so I understand how important it is to have a reliable and trustworthy sitter. I work from home full time and have a flexible schedule. I am happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may have. I work from home full time and can work around your schedule. Although I have two dogs of my own, I have time to care for others. I have been a dog sitter/walker many times throughout the years and have two of my own. I am respectful of other people’s homes and will make sure your pet is safe and cared for.

“Joanna is awesome. Prompt in both the meet and greet and check-in visit. We came home to happy cats and she sent the cutest pictures of the kitties getting lots of lovin’. If you’re considering time away and are unable to bring your furry friend with you, highly recommend Joanna :)”


“Jayson did such a great job checking in on our cat for the week we were gone. He provided thorough updates and it was obvious he cared about her well-being. We feel very lucky to have found him to watch her and will absolutely try to book him again when we are away in the future.”


About: *Please note that our Day Care & Boarding rates are at a special rate for August and September while we build our Rover profile! We just ask that in return you'll be sure to write us a review based on the care we provide your doggo 💛* Hi there! We’re Amanda and Austen, a couple based in Scarborough with a dog of our own (our Mini Aussie, Mazie) and a lot of love to share with yours. When Amanda’s not caring for her sweet group of five-year-olds or Austen’s not out playing tennis, we’re spending time with Mazie, chasing seagulls at the beach, hiking in the mountains, or snuggling up on the couch after a snowy play session. We love active days just as much as laid-back ones, and we’re happy to match whatever energy your pup brings. We both grew up in homes with animals- at one point, Amanda had five dogs and a cat! We have cared for dogs of all breeds and energy levels, from teacup-size rescues to large-breed couch potatoes, plus plenty of other animals over the years (including Sparkles the Bearded Dragon, Amanda’s current classroom pet). We live in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced-in backyard that dogs love to explore. Austen works from home full-time, so your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day, and we share responsibilities depending on the care your pet needs. Whether it’s a weekend adventure, daily daycare, or a cozy overnight stay, we’re here to make your dog feel happy, safe, and loved. We offer care throughout the week and are happy to accommodate weekends, holidays, and special requests as our schedule allows. Austen works from home and provides consistent weekday care and supervision, while Amanda handles most weekend walks, drop-ins, and house sitting when needed. Between the two of us, your pet will never go long without company, playtime, or a potty break. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a last-minute trip, we’ll work with you to make sure your pup is happy and cared for. We know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. That’s why we always begin with a meet-and-greet to ensure your dog is comfortable with us, and you’re confident in the care we provide. We take a gentle, respectful approach, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and we’ll always ask for your guidance on what makes your pup feel safe and secure. Whether we’re in your home or ours, we want to provide a low-stress, enriching environment with plenty of attention, structure, and love. We’re also happy to provide regular updates (with photos!) and check-ins during every visit or stay, so you’re always in the loop - because we’d want the same from someone watching Mazie.

“If I could give Lexie 10 stars I would! She was such a wonderful caretaker to my cat Maggie who has specific medication needs & gastro issues. Lexie even offered to set up a meet & greet prior to get to know Maggie and ensure things went smoothly while I was out of the state. Lexie is a great communicator, follows important directions and made me feel connected to my Maggie while I was away. The videos, pictures and detailed and thorough messaging was a dream. I had so much less anxiety than I had prior to booking Lexie and was able to enjoy my time off knowing that Maggie was in the best care. Overall, Lexie is just overall incredible at what she does and I would recommend her to anyone who needs pet care for their dog or cat. She is also just a great human in general with a kind personality and is super easy to talk with. I will definitely be utilizing Lexie in the future. I also want to thank her to the moon and back for being able to assist for such a long stretch during the holidays. This was top notch service and care. Do not sleep on booking with Lexie! :)”

Rachael G.
Star Sitter

“I might be biased, but I got to see firsthand just how incredible Rachael is with animals. She treats each dog with the same love, patience, and attention she gives our own. She’s the kind of person who remembers every pup’s quirks, notices when something’s off, and genuinely cares about their happiness and well-being. I’ve seen her go out of her way to make sure each dog has the best experience — whether it’s adjusting routes for comfort, bringing extra treats, or just offering a calm presence for nervous pups. It’s more than just a job for her — it’s something she truly loves doing. If you’re lucky enough to have Rachael walk your dog, you’re in the best hands possible.”
