“Shannon was great with Aries. He was happy and got updates daily on how he was settling in and enjoying his time with Lola. So glad we could enjoy our week away knowing he was being loved and cared for so well.”
“What can I say about Geo & Amanda? A wo perfume place to have your pet (s) stay. They are so easy going and accommodating. They relieved any stress I could have had about leaving my pups while I was off getting married. Lots of communication and pictures sent to add to my comfort. What a great pair and what agreat team to take care of the pups. Thank you both!”
“Marc and Alysia took great care of our dog Millie. They sent regular updates and pictures and were very fast to respond to messages. This was our first time using rover, and it was a great experience! I would definitely book with them again.”
“Sheila took wonderful care of our dog, Red, while we were away on a road trip. From the beginning, her communication was excellent, and she sent us the occasional photo and video, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Red was in such good hands, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and wouldn’t hesitate to have Sheila watch Red again. Highly recommend!”
“This was our second time. Of course, Natalia took really good care of my dog(Honey). She sent me some pictures and videos of Honey because we missed her so much. Thank you very much Natalia!”
“Samantha and Gerd were wonderful with Rocco this weekend. They kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos. I would strongly recommend them to anyone that needs their dog looked after”
“Amanda was great and looked after our family’s two dogs that we love so much while in Mexico. Amanda provided regular pictures updates of the dogs while they settled in. I would recommend Amanda to anyone, and we would for sure use Amanda in the future.”
“I highly recommend Hanna. She took such good care of my dogs. Both my dogs have separation anxiety but she made them both very comfortable. I could tell they were both extremely happy. She sent us pics everyday. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Would certainly be going back to her in the future as well.”
“Lynee was great with Eevee! She was attentive and patient. Eevee had an awesome time and even went home with a homemade bandana. For sure recommend Lynne; we know we’ll be using her service next time!”
About: I had a giant schnauzer. For over 2.5 years he required hourly attention and care for many health issues. My experience has provided me with the knowledge and patience to care for pets of all size and with any mobility limitations. My home is set up with many beds, a large crate, and a fully fenced in backyard to care for your pet, 24/7 I am an entrepreneur with a very flexible schedule where I mostly work from home. I am able to attend to your pets needs all day and night. I treat pets like family! I respect the rules and boundaries set by each pet owner and work hard to ensure that discipline, play time, and routines are not altered!
About: Hi! I’m a compassionate and reliable pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs. My background includes looking after a young small dog while providing care for a senior citizen, which involved daily walks, feeding, bathing, and keeping the space clean by managing pee pads. Most recently, I worked as an in-home dog caregiver for two medium-sized dogs ages 1 and 3 . I was responsible for walking them multiple times a day, maintaining their feeding schedule, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and ensuring the home stayed safe and secure while the owners were on vacation. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and loving care—whether that means going on long walks, sticking to a feeding routine, or simply keeping pets company while their humans are away. Your pets will be treated like family with me! I’m available for dog walks 4–7 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m also able to provide extended in-home care when needed. I offer a safe, comfortable home for small to medium dogs, with parks nearby for walks. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and can walk your dog in your neighborhood to keep things familiar.
“I highly recommend Vidya & Ratnam . They took wonderful care of my dog. They took my dog to the dog park. They sent me a beautiful video and pictures of him romping about . It was exciting & re assuring to see him transition so well for his overnight stay at their home. Communication was exceptional & very heartfelt . Thank you !”
“Michelle and her family are excellent. We had a wonderful vacation knowing our dog Socks was with a great family and we got regular updates and photos. Michelle was extremely accommodating with an extra day I needed to use as our flights got back later than anticipated”
“Donna was an exceptional dog sitter. Our Tia is an anxious and a huge mommas girl and she made her feel very comfortable and loved! She sent me photo's during our vacation which made me at ease and I could clearly tell she was feeling at home! Not only was she a great dog sitter who took very good care of Tia, our plane was delayed and showed up 2 hrs later then expected and without hesitation she was very accommodating!!! Thanks again Donna 🙏💖”
“Kimberly is absolutely incredible!! We are so lucky to have her watching Stanley ❤️ She was warm and loving to our pup and her updates had me laughing and feeling so comfortable. Stanley has found a new best friend!”
About: Hi, I love animals and have experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat your pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m here to help! I am currently finishing up my paralegal program and will be home most days with a flexible schedule. I am not yet working full time so have lots of availability. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow any instructions carefully, keep their routines consistent, and create a calm, pet-friendly environment. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, and lots of attention, and I’m always mindful of their safety.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Barrie
This was my first time ever boarding my dog with someone I did not know and had only met once. This my anxiety about it was higher than my dog’s. Sue was fabulous. Calm, confident without arrogance or the self-assuredness that screamed she would do it her way. Sue listened and followed the instructions that I knew were best for Storm. She kept me updated as she started to do activities with Storm (lots of attention he wanted for nothing). I was able to inject small advices to ensure Storm was protected and she adapted as explained. Storm came home to me better for having the experience with Sue. He is welcome back to Sue anytime but most importantly, I would have no hesitation of leaving him with her except maybe he would like it too much.
Lauren was amazing with fox. This was our very first time leaving our baby with a sitter and it was the best choice we ever did by picking lauren. Her and her family were so welcoming to Fox that he took to them right away. Did a check-in on him as a worried parent would, and the pictures that were sent to me were so adorable that I knew he was fine and happy. Would definitely highly recommend Lauren to look after your fur baby. I know myself and my husband we look forward to using Lauren again to babysit Fox.
Shannon was absolutely incredible with Ollie! She was so responsive, kept us updated throughout his stay, and sent lots of photos so we always knew he was happy and well cared for. Ollie came home happy, relaxed, and exhausted in the best possible way! It was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Shannon and will definitely be booking with her again!
Luna was well cared for. Taken on many walks and enjoyed tug of war games daily. Nicholas provided daily updates and pictures of Luna’s experiences. I definitely would use Nicholas’ services again and highly recommend him to others seeking peace of mind while you’re away.
Tristan was great with my dog Charlie, who stayed for a full weekend. Communication was easy and prompt, with some nice updates and photos throughout the weekend. Tristan's dog Fifi is very sweet, and calm, and a great companion to visiting dogs. My dog Charlie can be very nervous at first with new dogs and Fifi quickly made him feel safe and calm quickly. The pre-stay meet and greet was a very helpful touch. Charlie came home from his weekend happy and well take care of, and will definitely visit Tristan again in the future!
April was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took care of our 10-month-old puppy, Sophie, for a full week and made the entire experience stress-free. April helped us feel comfortable the whole time by sending frequent photos and videos and always responding quickly with updates. She’s incredibly calm and attentive, and it was clear she was great at understanding and meeting Sophie’s needs. Sophie had such a great week, and we could tell she was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using April again and highly recommend her!
She was so warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. My boys can be a little apprehensive at first, but her calm, positive energy helped them relax right away. They ran into the house and immediately had the zoomies, which is not like them unless they feel completely comfortable. I could tell they felt safe and happy in her care. When I picked them up, they were tuckered out, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I really appreciate how wonderful she was with them and would absolutely recommend her.
Nikole has done an amazing job taking care of Marty for a week. He’s a high-energy pup and can definitely be a handful, but she handled him with such care and patience. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands and having fun. Her regular, detailed updates made our vacation so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Barrie home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Barrie
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 dog, 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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
