“BJ was absolutely amazing!! Goose seemed to not even notice we were gone for the weekend. I loved all the pictures posted in our chat. Even handing the keys off at the end was awesome, we couldn’t stop chatting ☺️ We will definitely be booking with her again when we go away next. 10/10 ⭐️”
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.
“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.”
“First time using rover and as anyone would be having a stranger in your home is nerve racking. I’ve only ever had family and close friends watch my dog. Ashley was great and was at my house within 30 minutes of messaging her to meet Winnie who btw loved her!!! Will be using frequently”
“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.”
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.

“Lauren has been amazing with our energetic lab puppy! Her communication before/during/after their visits was perfect, and I felt confident that our pup was in great hands while we were at work. Highly recommend!”
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.
“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: 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 hands on experience with daily dog walks and drop in visits, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and leash walks. I'm comfortable following specific routines and instructions and always make sure pets feel calm and cared for during each visit. I can also send updates and photos so you can feel confident while you're away. I work about 25-30 hours at a spa. I have Sunday and Monday's off, half of Saturdays and can always do before or after work. During drop in visits, I focus on safety, routine and comfort. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime or walks, and make sure pets feel calm and cared for.
About: Experienced in recall, leash, and crate training, with a strong focus on positive reinforcement through treat-and-play sessions. I bring two years of hands-on experience house-sitting and handling extra-large breeds. As an animal lover with a knack for training dogs, my ultimate dream is to start a charity that helps people with mobility issues or disabilities care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and building meaningful, caring relationships with them every day! While I am seeking full-time employment, I maintain a flexible schedule and am eager to build a steady list of regular clients. Ask about my preferred rates for recurring bookings! I accommodate pets in my comfortable apartment A typical day includes frequent yard breaks, interactive indoor toy sessions, and engaging treat games or puzzles. Your dog will also enjoy safe socialization alongside two 16-week-old Jack Russell Terrier puppies at my place.
“Maria is wonderful. She has looked after my 2 cats multiple times while I'm away and each time she is friendly, professional, and most importantly my cats are taken care of. I never have to worry with her; She communicates well and ensures I'm kept up to date. Highly recommend”
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 taken excellent care of pets for friends, family members and clients since I was 14 years old. I have also had pets of my own (dogs, cats, fish, bunnies) that have provided me a lot of knowledge around how to best take care of different animals at all stages of life. While I do work 8:00-4:00 during the week. I partner with my sister to ensure that I can provide the best care possible with her stopping in during the day if required. As a pet sitter, my priority is providing a safe, loving environment where your pets feel at ease. You can trust that I'll treat them with the same care and attention as if they were my own. Your pet's well-being and comfort are my top concern, always

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Barrie
Jenna is an excellent pet sitter! She took great care of my two cats. I’m always nervous to go away because my one cat has had some urinary medical emergencies in the past that are significantly worsened by stress. I booked Jenna to come twice a day to look after both and give medication and she took such good care of them. She definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She send me thorough updates with pictures and followed my instructions well. I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands and feel so lucky to have found a gem of a sitter for my kitties! Thanks so much Jenna!
Amin took care of our cat for about 11 days. We were a bit worried at first since our cat doesn't take well to new faces, but he was able to get our little fur baby to warm up and took such good care of him, keeping us posted every day after the visit with notes and photos. Thank you for taking care of him :)
