“Aditya and Ipshita were great with my dog. They were very professional and kept be updated on his day of fun with them. They truly do love dogs and that is shown in the care they take to make sure they are well taken cared of.”
“I immediately felt comfortable after meeting Dale and her husband with leaving my dog in their care overnight :) I will definitely be using them again whenever Ivy needs a sitter!”
“Geo and Amanda were great! Lots of pictures sent for updates the dogs were extremely comfortable and happy to be with them. We’ve already rebooked for the next time! Thanks so much”
“Shannon was the best! She took time to meet with us ahead of the visit, sent us daily pics & updates on Arlo & was incredibly flexible with pick up & drop off times. We felt so comfortable leaving Arlo with her!”
“Sheila is awesome and very responsive. She was great with my Golden Retriever, Mabel. She sent regular updates and photos. Mabel got personalized attention and slept on the bed at night. Sheila also took some fabulous photos of Mabel that are of photography studio quality.”
“I cannot recommend Jordan enough! She was absolutely amazing while watching my dog overnight. From the very beginning, she was warm, patient, and kind, which immediately put me at ease. She took the time to make sure my dog felt comfortable, cared for, and loved, and it was clear she genuinely enjoys what she does. What stood out most was Jordan’s patience and attentiveness, she treated my dog like her own, and I could tell he felt safe and happy with her. Knowing he was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind. I truly appreciated the time and care she put into making the experience positive for both of us. Jordan is an absolute gem, and I feel so grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and goes above and beyond, she’s the one!”
“Thank you for taking care of Bagheera over the weekend! You reaching out to ask questions and sharing the amazing pictures and how he behaved showed that you cared and wanted to provide the right care for my fur baby. Appreciate it!”

“Hanna was so welcoming and accommodating with Theo and myself and I highly recommend her to watch anyone that needs a pet sitter within the Barrie and surrounding area ! She has a fenced in yard and send a lots of updates throughout the day and evening to put your mind at ease that your pet is well taken care of at all time , 10/10 would recommend and book again :)”
“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!”
“Michelle and her family took great care of Apache. Was willing to meet before hand to see if it is a good fit. Sent many updates and pictures almost every day of my 2 week vacation. They were very accomodating with pick up time and response times were very fast. I was nervous to leave my girl for 2 weeks but was constantly reassured she was doing well. Will be using their services again next time I am out of town”
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.
“Sue and Brian were awesome with audio! They kept him active and gave lots of updates throughout his stay. They were friendly and easygoing and I felt very comfortable leaving Audio with them. Would highly recommend their services and I’ll be using them again, forsure!”

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.
Shannon and her pup Lola were absolutely fantastic sitters! I could tell from the photo updates that my dog was immediately accepted into their little family. My dog seemed as if she was sad to leave her new friends at the end of her stay. Thank you so much Shannon and Lola for taking the best care of Sulla. We can’t wait to see you again soon!
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!
Cindy and Jaime are absolutely amazing dog sitters! They watched our pup Red for almost two weeks while we were away on our honeymoon and took such wonderful care of him. They were super accommodating when we needed to modify our dates and add an extra night so we could help my sister with childcare. They’ve been caring for Red since he was a puppy, and we trust them completely. They kept up with his training, sent regular updates, and always responded to messages quickly. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in such loving and capable hands. We can’t recommend Cindy and Jaime enough to anyone looking for reliable, quality pet care! 🐾

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.
