About: Iâve taken care of my cat Miss Rita Marie for 5 years now since I adopted her in 2020. She had anxiety challenges but we were able to work through them by building trust and a unique bond between the two of us. When I am not working you can find me spending time with my cat Rita, whether thatâs enjoying a cat nap or playing with her favourite toys. My cat Rita is an indoor cat but I can appreciate if you needed your cat to spend outdoor time with nature! I have experience with that with former family cats. I also have some experience looking after dogs. Thatâs Charlie in the photo. We had a great time playing ball together.

âAnya was everything you could ask for from a pet sitter. Her communication was quick, reliable and thoughtful at all stages of the process. Our dog loves her and we can leave home knowing that she will be well cared for when we arenât there. Couldnât recommend Anya more.â

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: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through overnight stays, drop-in visits and dog walking. Iâve cared for pets with many different personalities, from energetic and playful to shy, nervous and anxious. Iâm 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, Iâm 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 petâs routine. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and loving care they deserve. Your petâs 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 petâs 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 petâs routine, and ensure weâre the right fit for one another. I also ask all pet parents to complete a detailed intake form, which helps me learn about your petâs 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. Iâll 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: 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! My girlfriend also works from home and is amazing with cats and dogs! Between the two of us, your furry family member will be taken care of 24/7. 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. Mr. Gizmo doesn't like major changes like new friends in his house so unfortunately for myself he has decided to stay with my parents.
âSarah 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.â

âDeanna was great at communicating, sent me photos of both of my cats as requested as well as a video after each visit showing she had locked my home after leaving. My babies were left in good hands while we were away! Thank you again, Deanna!â

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
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.
âI'm so glad that we booked Avery and Sarah to look after our fuzzy babies while we were away. They took great care of them and were especially loving with our Senior girl and very patient with our sometimes grumpy boy. Communication was fantastic and we would recommend them highly to anyone!â

âWe are so grateful Ashley was available for drop in visits for our cat! Her communication was excellent and we knew our cat was in good hands while we were out of town. She even managed to gain the trust of our very shy cat for some pets! We would absolutely book Ashley again and recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.â

About: Iâve been a dog/cat owner all my life and love to walk! I have experience with many breeds and would love to meet your pet! Iâm able to walk multiple dogs at once and would love to help care for your furry friend. Iâll care about your pet as much as I care about mine! Iâm currently semi-retired and available Monday to Friday at any time. I walk my own Doodle daily and can accommodate most scheduling needs. Reach out to discuss your needs. When visiting your home for drop ins or dog walking pick up, your house will be treated with the utmost respect. You can trust that Iâll look after your pets and give them the care and attention they deserve.

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. Services will be at your home. If your dog is ok in the car, we can go on adventures. I will treat your house like my own!

Anya was everything you could ask for from a pet sitter. Her communication was quick, reliable and thoughtful at all stages of the process. Our dog loves her and we can leave home knowing that she will be well cared for when we arenât there. Couldnât recommend Anya more.

Meeting Randi, I loved her instantly and she her experience with senior dogs and medication was a plus. She has come a few times now to look after my senior dog and she has been amazing! When I get home Stellaâs love tank has always been filled up by Randi so she doesnât even meet me at the door lol.

Tatyana is the best! My two fur babies always have the best time when she comes over to care for them. I always feel content knowing they are being well looked after when I am away. Itâs not easy to find someone that has so much confidence handling a Belgian Malinois. Tatyana always goes above and beyond.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your petâs routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your petâs mood and energy levels.
Whether youâre at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Barrie stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitterâs needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Barrie choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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.
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.
