Cat Sitting Barrie

About: Lifelong pet owner of dogs, cats, and horses! Experience with different breeds and personalities. Able to recognize and diffuse potential issues. Your dog and their safety always comes first. Experience with seniors and puppies, with some moderate training experience. My schedule is currently wide open and able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening walks. Overnight pet sitting available as I have folks at home to take care of my own fur babies. I have access to a vehicle so happy to travel to pet sit/check in/walk your pet. My own pets are like family to me and I will treat yours the same. I am very attentive to subtle changes as they occur, and happily communicate anything I notice that even remotely raises a red flag. Your pet’s health, safety, and happiness are paramount to me, and I am not easily swayed by big, sad eyes. Happy to crate your dog and make sure they always have everything they need to be comfortable.

“Sarah was great and on short notice as well. My dog Petra seemed to really enjoy her company, they played and went for a walk. Sarah was a lifeline for me at the very last minute and I will definitely reach out to her again thank you, Sarah.”

“Maria was wonderful with my kitties. You can tell she lives animals and takes pride in providing excellent care. She is professional and attentive. She is friendly and I knew I liked her right away and trusted her. She puts the cats first and makes sure you feel comfortable. Her communication is excellent and she provided daily updates and photos. Will definitely book again! Thanks Maria!”

“Ashley was great with my boys. It was our first time having a person in our house for a drop in visit and Ashley was great. She even came by for a meet and greet visit last minute which was greatly appreciated! We would highly recommend her and use her again”

“Katie is great! I've had her drop in multiple times and have never had a single issue. She always send lots of picture and updates when she visits. She ensures our dog ate and went to the washroom. She's very considerate and makes sure our door is locked when she leaves. Definitely recommend her and will continue to use her for drop in visits.”

“Lauren took great care of our little bunny over Christmas. She sent pictures, followed instructions and made sure we knew what was going on with him and our home. I was a very nervous bunny mama leaving our little guy for the first time, but we will definitely be using Lauren again!”

“Stephanie did a fabulous job with Mylo our 5 year old cat. She was a consummate professional in all aspects of cat sitting. Mylo is normally reserved, however they bonded immediately. My family and I would have no reservation in admitting that she is among the best pet sitter. My family and I are very happy with her and would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I am an animal enthusiast who has always been attuned to the needs of animals. I have experience with mainly cats and dogs but honestly love all creatures. I have so much care that I would love to share and feel like helping others care for their animals would be a great way to spend my time. I am open to almost all schedules at this time. Reach out to me and we will figure out if I'm the right sitter for your pet. My dog is always leashed outside and I take her on multiple walks a day. I do have a fenced backyard as well. She is friendly with other dogs while boarding so I would not have any concerns. But if needed I do have the space to keep your pet separate/crated.

“Jenna was very kind and attentive for our puppy visits. She was great with communication and updates, and always very punctual. Our puppy was well cared for!”

About: Dogs - I have owned a dog since I was little and there has rarely ever not been one in the house. Cats- I have owned cats before and also kittens as well. I have completed a full 2 credit Co op at the OSPCA when in high school. I have lots of personal experience and knowledge with dogs and cats, either owning or taking care of them. I do have a full time job but I love to spend my time off caring for animals and getting to know new people and their pets :) I am respectful, easy going, polite, and punctual. I look forward to getting to know you and your animal(s). I currently work full time at Costco but I make time out of my schedule for taking care of animals because I love to do it I own a dog and he is very friendly. I’ve had him since he was a pup and he’s high energy so we spend time on a lot of walks, and we do a lot of enrichment time whether it’s just playing or doing tasks for treats. If I were to come to a clients home I am very respectful and will focus on your pet and make sure all their needs are met and are well looked after. Let me know of any routines to follow or just basic care and daily feeding schedules.

“Genuinely amazing! Even takes on super last minute bookings and my dog is always so happy and relaxed after spending time with her! I will definitely be continuing to book with Morgan”

About: Since I was 14, I have been taking care of all kinds of animals. Dogs, cats, rats and even a hedgehog! My love for animals go far back until I was very young, and taking care of animals is more like a dream than a job. I met my partner who is also an animal lover, who had a Great Dane and a cat. Together, we thought of Rover as the perfect job as we can take care of animals that we love! Currently, partner is away to advance his education so I am doing this business solo! *GENERAL* - Zoom or in person meetings are okay with us based on your preference :) - We provide pictures and videos daily as well as updates! *SCHEDULE* - I am a NURSING student with no clinicals currently so I would only be bust 2-3 hours per day to attend classes. I will follow your safety guidelines! Dogs will not run off leash unless indicated by the owner + until your dog is amiliar with me

“We are so grateful Ashley was able to accommodate feeding our cat over the busy holiday season! This is our second time requesting Ashley and we would gladly use her again and recommend her. You know your pets are in good hands with Ashley!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and honestly can’t imagine it any other way. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family since high school, and I love getting to know each dog’s personality. I also worked on a dairy farm for 10 years, where we always had dogs around (including five that hung out with us in the parlour!), so I’m super comfortable with animals. Taking care of pets doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m currently a student at Georgian College and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. Tuesdays are my only fully busy day, but I have availability at various times on all other days. I’m especially available during evenings and weekends, making it easy to fit walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting into my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. At my home, I have a fully fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor time, as well as plenty of indoor space for dogs to relax. I also have a friendly Labrador who enjoys the company of other dogs, but I always make sure introductions are done slowly and safely. If a dog prefers their own space, I have a spare room where they can relax privately. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. I prioritize safety, supervision, and lots of attention to make sure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for.

About: What sets me apart is the combination of reliability, energy, and genuine care I bring to every walk. I’m an active person happy to provide longer walks for dogs that need to burn more energy, I want you to feel confident knowing your dog is safe and well cared for under my care College student, I can wake up early for morning walks before class or evening walks generally after 5pm, free anytime during the weekend, and happy to help out during weekdays if my class is finished Safety, trust, and comfort are my priorities with every pet I care for. I focus on creating a positive environment where pets feel secure, and cared, for. I pay attention to their behaviour , energy level, and individual needs, while providing safe walks, playtime, and updates so the owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I have been working with animals since I was 14, I started as a kennel attendant in a veterinary clinic setting and have volunteered with many rescues and animal shelters since. Personally, I have fostered 13 dogs. Therefore, I have experience with a wide range of breeds behaviours and medical issues and not a whole lot phases me. I have experience with training and loose leash walking, as well as a variety of training tools like slip, leads, E collar, prong collar, harnesses, halties. etc. I am happy to tailor each dogs walk or drop in visit to their specific needs. I work a full-time hybrid job and my schedule changes week to week but I would be happy to communicate each week to figure out a schedule that works best for the dog. I have many years experience, taking care of clients dogs in their homes and will always leave your home as I found it, or even better.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through overnight stays, drop-in visits and dog walking. I’ve cared for pets with many different personalities, from energetic and playful to shy, nervous and anxious. I’m patient and take the time to let each pet become comfortable with me at their own pace. I follow their regular routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime and lots of love and attention. I especially love seeing a shy/anxious pet begin to trust me and become my little shadow. Building relationships with pets and having families trust me to care for them again is one of my favourite parts of pet sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a kindergarten educator, I’m available for morning visits before work, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays during the school year. During the summer, I have much greater flexibility and am available throughout the day, allowing me to accommodate a wider range of schedules and your pet’s routine. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and loving care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where they can maintain their familiar routine and surroundings. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so I can provide calm, personalized care tailored to them. Before any booking, I offer a free Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and ensure we’re the right fit for one another. I also ask all pet parents to complete a detailed intake form, which helps me learn about your pet’s routine, medical needs, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible. For dog walking clients, I also like to do a short practice walk so your dog can get comfortable with me before our first scheduled walk. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I love getting outside for walks, playing, exploring, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, from playful and adventurous pups to those who prefer a slower stroll and lots of cuddles. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel happy, loved, and safe. Working shift work, my schedule varies from week to week—but that also gives me flexibility on my days off! I keep my Rover calendar updated with my current availability and am happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs. I’m especially happy to accommodate walks and drop-in visits when I’m off work. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously! I’ll treat your pup like family, while making sure they’re safe, comfortable, supervised, and having a great time. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and just as I found them. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident that your pet is in caring, dependable hands while you’re away. 🐾❤️
