About: Since I was little I’ve taken care of not only my own dog, but also but friends’, families’, and neighbors’! I also have experience with senior dogs (my own dog) and puppies!! I’m currently working a part time job only twice a week so I have plenty of availability throughout the week and can do all services almost everyday before 4 or 5 pm! I’m very well experienced with electric fences as I have one in my own yard. I am also experienced with crating, walking, and niche feeding habits - and can follow specific instructions for special pups!
“Amanda is an amazing pet sitter! She took great care of our two cats while we were away and provided us with wonderful photos and detailed reports about their health and well-being after each visit. She played with them, got to know their personalities, and was even able to get one of our cats to take a pill which we have trouble giving him. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation, and when we came home, we could tell that our cats had received excellent care.”
“Leigh was great and so flexible with my last minutes needs! Every detail was followed and Duch was well taken care of! I definitely recommend Leigh and will be rebooking in the future!!”
“Danica was great with Sophie (who is now a senior and needs her daily meds). Responds quickly, made last minute alterations as requested (my fault that I had my dates wrong), and followed all of Sophie’s needs to a T. Would highly recommend!”
“We can’t say enough amazing things about Carly! She took fantastic care of our German Shepherd, Ruby, while we were away. Ruby can be a bit hesitant with new people, but Carly was incredibly patient, gentle, and kind. She took the time to build trust, and it wasn’t long before Ruby completely warmed up to her. Carly made sure Ruby was well-fed, sticking closely to her routine, and always kept us updated so we knew she was in great hands. She even cleaned up a little oopsy accident in the house without hesitation, handling it with total grace and compassion. What touched us most was how affectionate and loving she was with Ruby, sharing cuddles, giving her attention, and making sure she felt safe and cared for the entire time. It was clear Ruby was not just looked after, but loved. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we are beyond grateful. Carly is a true gem, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, reliable, and truly exceptional sitter. Thank you, Carly! 🐾💛”
“Glenna confirmed the booking on short notice and kept me posted every step of the way on her visit. Slugger has a lot of energy but she knows how to navigate it and keep him on track while on his walks. I know he’s always in good hands when Glenna comes to check him.”
“Morgan was great with our dog, Buddy. She stopped by for a meet-and-greet before we left for our trip. While we were away, she gave him his meds, meals, and snacks, he got outside time, and she gave him lots of snuggles. He even got to stay in his own home, which helps him not to be too stressed while we are away. Thanks Morgan!”
“This is my first time using Rover and I think I found the right person! I was worried at first but Lili was awesome and my dog liked her. Lili sent me all the update during her visit and I was greatly appreciated :)”
About: With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I bring reliability, attentiveness, and plenty of love to every pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own and strive to provide peace of mind while you’re away. I work full-time, with one day each week working from home, which gives me flexibility for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins. On the days I’m in the office, I’m available before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I also have weekend availability and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I love staying active and spending time with animals, so providing dependable, loving care is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pet and home while traveling, so I make it a priority to follow routines closely, keep your space clean, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply relaxing, I work to make sure they feel secure, happy, and right at home while in my care.
“If you’re searching for someone to love your pets on the same level as you do…then I’d suggest you request Gillian. She has absolutely been the best to work with. She puts your mind at ease, she’s very adaptable and flexible to life.”
“We only had a pop in visit scheduled on Thanksgiving but met Renee prior and got to see her with our GSD Rudy. He's a 90 pound dog so could be intimidating to some people, but not Renee! He like her just fine too and she was very interactive with him. You can tell a dog person when you meet one and Renee was definitely into dogs! We will use her again when the need arises. :)”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets for years, including raising my own dog since he was a puppy. I’m very involved in his daily care, including feeding, walks, routines, giving lots of attention, and helping manage medical needs when needed. Because of this, I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very comfortable with cats and enjoy spending time with different personalities, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, or need extra comfort and care. I’ll always treat pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated high school and will be starting college soon, so I have a very open and flexible schedule this summer! I do work part-time, but outside of my work schedule I’m available most days and have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. Since I don’t have many major summer plans, I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s needs and routine. Since I will be caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to help them feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible by sticking to their normal routine. I’m very attentive to instructions and will make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and affection they need while you’re away. I also have hands-on experience with crate training through my own dog, who is crate trained and comfortably sleeps in his crate when prompted. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel secure in their environment. I will always treat your home and pets with respect and care as if they were my own.
“Courtney was amazing, took such great care of our pup and was very responsive from day one. I would highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: Growing up on a farm I have had experience with animals my whole life. I have had small dogs of my own since I was born and have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I can accommodate almost any pet! I am fully available Thursday evening, Friday-Sunday all day and night. I will have time to give your pets full attention! I will be available to take they out and walk as often as requested. I have a large fenced yard and two small friendly dogs to keep your company or they can be kept separate if you wish. I take the time to ensure all pets are safe and attended to.
“Matthew provided excellent care for our two cats. He posted daily photos, which I greatly looked forward to each day while on vacation. He has excellent communication skills, and I know my cats will miss him! I would definitely recommend his services to any other cat owner that is looking for a cat sitter!”
About: I am a dedicated and experienced animal care provider with a strong background in both personal pet ownership and professional veterinary support. Having cared for my own animals over the years, I understand the importance of patience, attention, and compassion when it comes to their well-being. In addition, my experience working in a veterinary hospital has given me valuable hands-on knowledge in animal health, behavior, and safety. This combination allows me to provide reliable, attentive, and informed care, ensuring that every pet I watch is treated with the same level of love and responsibility as my own. I’m not just an animal lover, but I also love and adore kids which is where I spend my days working in a therapy clinic for kids Monday through Friday from 8-4. I’m available before 8 on weekdays and after 4 on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays I’m available anytime of the day. I am committed to maintaining a safe, secure, and trustworthy environment for every animal in my care. I prioritize following each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any medical instructions to ensure their health and comfort at all times. My experience in a veterinary setting has equipped me to recognize signs of stress or illness early and respond appropriately. I maintain a clean, hazard-free space, use secure handling practices, and provide constant supervision to prevent accidents. Open communication with pet owners is also a top priority, offering regular updates for peace of mind. My goal is to create a calm, reliable, and nurturing environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: We have both been working in pet care for over 4 years. We both worked at Wagsworth Manor Pet Resort.

We have both administered many different types of medications, and Maya is certified in Dog first aid and CPR. We both moved on from wagsworth last year and have gained more experience with taking care of animals in people's homes, and would love to work with you and your pets! Maya works full-time hours Monday-Friday, but Emily is available weekdays. Since we work together, we can make sure all your pets are given the attention they deserve! We have a lot of experience navigating dogs' behavior with both people and other animals. We have worked with all types of dogs from lazy senior dogs to high-energy reactive dogs, and are confident we can work with you to meet the needs of all of your pets.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Willowdale
Danica was absolutely excellent. She took exceptional care of our kitten Gizmo and our giant Flemish rabbit Rufus. Everything was done exactly as specified and she was extremely diligent, reliable, thorough and checked in every day with us which we so appreciated. We will use her again in the future. Excellent pet sitter and would highly recommend!
Teresa is the nicest, kindest, most reliable sitter you can find. She is more than capable of handling our cat’s medical needs and reliably gave him his daily medication. We had peace while we were away knowing he was in great hands. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. We are very grateful for her kindness.
Maddie is so attentive and loving to our boy cats whenever we are away. It is nice to be able to go away and not worry about our boys- Maddie is right on time, so helpful, and always lets us know in detail how our boys were and how the visit went. We are so grateful to have found Maddie!
Alaina was suggested to me by a colleague, and my first experience with Rover, and she was great! Her care and consideration for my cat and home were much appreciated, and she was responsive and friendly in all our correspondence. I highly recommend her services!
Thank you Courtney for helping us out last minute so we could enjoy some family time at great wolf lodge. I’m sure Beau loved the belly rubs, walks and treats. You were so trustworthy and kind. We’ll definitely be reaching out for our future dog visit/walking & cat sitting needs. Thank you again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Willowdale on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,781 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Willowdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Willowdale. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
