“Amin did an amazing job looking after my cats Misty and Yuki. When he met my cats I knew right away he was an animal lover the way he spoke to my cat Misty and got down to meet and pet her. She took to him right away which is unusual for her. It usually takes awhile for her to get used to someone. Amin kept in touch with me while I was away and even sent pictures. I was impressed. Definitely would recommend Amin.”
“Doris visited my kitty over the holiday weekend and gave me so much peace of mind that my girl Randy was taken care of thanks to her thorough communication. Doris has a way with animals that was obvious from the way Randy responded to her. This was my first time leaving Randy home alone, so this was a big step for both of us which Doris made possible.”

About: About Me Pets have always been a very special part of my life. Growing up on a farm gave me lots of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and a variety of animals and I’ve been lucky to share my home with furry friends of different ages over the years. As a recently retired Kindergarten teacher, I now have more time to do something else that I truly love — spending time with animals! Teaching taught me the value of patience, routine, consistency and recognizing that every individual has their own personality and needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I am available for dog walking, pet sitting and drop-in visits, and am happy to adapt each visit to your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable providing senior care and have experience administering oral and topical medications. I'm patient, gentle, and attentive to your pet’s behaviour & comfort level and will a focus on making every visit a positive experience. Why Choose Me You can count on me to be punctual, responsible, and attentive to the details that matter. I will follow your pet’s routines carefully and provide plenty of companionship and enrichment. I also understand how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet and am happy to keep you updated with messages & photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. For house sitting, I’m happy to bring in the mail, water indoor plants, and leave your home clean and tidy. My goal is simple: to care for your pets and your home as thoughtfully as I would my own. I am currently available for dog walking and drop-in visits for both cats & dogs during weekdays. I have availability for house sitting on some weekends as well. While caring for your pet in the safety of your own home, I will carefully follow all instructions regarding their needs, routines, behaviour & health. Any notes regarding preferences & favourite activities would be appreciated.
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.
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. 🐾❤️
“Erika did a wonderful job caring for my cat over the last 10 days while I was away. I was pleased to hear he got along well hanging out with her two cats. Manny definitely got spoiled rotten going by his very happy attitude, and super soft fur, he was getting all the pets XD so if you're reading this review I would definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“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: My family has had a cat almost my whole life! Love the sassy and loveable felines. I also love dogs! I have been dog sitting over the past two years for friends and family all different kinds of breeds :) I work full-time but have usually 3 to 4 days off in a row a week to take care of your lovely pet!

Happy to drop in before and after work as well for drop ins. Happy to walk dogs and take care of cats in my home in Barrie.

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.
About: I have worked with dogs of all kinds for 10+ years. I am a stay at home mom right now who is looking to enjoy some time outside the home and care for your 4 legged babes! It's been a dream of mine to start my own doggy business and finally have the freedom to make that dream come true! I love all dogs and will love yours just as much as I love mine! I have 2 small ones at home but have tons of experience with the big ones too! I can help you get them to any appointments they have or just have a visit while you are at work for the day! Can't wait to meet some new friends big and small! I have flexibility in my schedule, so I'm confident I can work with you and find the right time and service to fit your needs.
