Dog Sitting Barrie

“Sarah 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.”

“Deanna 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!”

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.

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.

“Hi Delaney Your feedback was super and i loved the picture. I am so sorry about your Stella but I have found a gem in you . Thank you for caring and walking Boca. We will be booking again today.”

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: 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: I have experience with dogs ranging in ages newborn - old age. I am able to provide medications and pay attention to detail with feeding times. I am currently working evenings and have availability most mornings as well as all day sunday. I am also available some nights for potty breaks I provide a loving environment for all fur babies - no dog or cat goes unloved. Play time is essential as well as walks around the block.

About: I’ve 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! I’m able to walk multiple dogs at once and would love to help care for your furry friend. I’ll care about your pet as much as I care about mine! I’m 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 I’ll look after your pets and give them the care and attention they deserve.

About: I loved working with animals since childhood, tending to goats, sheep, horses, and chickens! I have a lot of patience when it comes to animals, especially dogs and cats! I currently have time off and have plenty of time to meet and spend time with your pets. I am available for multiple walks a day or in house sitting, just let me know what you’re looking for and I am happy to accommodate! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!! I love living an active lifestyle so I’d love to incorporate dog walking into my everyday activity! As of now, my schedule is open throughout the week during the day! If I’m hosting pets, I have a fenced in yard for them to play in. If I am pet sitting then I will make sure I am following the guidelines set up by the owner.

About: I’ve 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 that’s 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. That’s Charlie in the photo. We had a great time playing ball together.

About: Animal lover looking to spend time with our furry friends. I have been looking after friends and family pets for years and don't have pets of my own currently but would love to get my animal fix by offering to care for your beloved pets/family. I have no training experience but will happily follow your instructions. I have looked after my parents senior Yorkie for extended periods of time as well. I work full-time but my schedule is rotating and flexible allowing a variety of availability. Some available times during the week, mornings, evenings and weekends. I have toys, a pet bed and food dishes for any visiting pets. I don't have a fenced in space but live close to the Ardagh bluffs with accessibility to a ton of walking trails

About: Since I was 14, I have been taking care of all kinds of animals. Dogs, cats, rats and even a hedgehog! My love for animals go far back until I was very young, and taking care of animals is more like a dream than a job. I met my partner who is also an animal lover, who had a Great Dane and a cat. Together, we thought of Rover as the perfect job as we can take care of animals that we love! Currently, partner is away to advance his education so I am doing this business solo! *GENERAL* - Zoom or in person meetings are okay with us based on your preference :) - We provide pictures and videos daily as well as updates! *SCHEDULE* - I am a NURSING student with no clinicals currently so I would only be bust 2-3 hours per day to attend classes. I will follow your safety guidelines! Dogs will not run off leash unless indicated by the owner + until your dog is amiliar with me

“I'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!”

“Christina was great! She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were away. Would definitely have Christina watch our Rue again in the future! :)”

About: I have been an animal lover, my entire life, having pets for every single year that I’ve been around, and do not think I will ever not have a pet within my life lifetime. While I have pets of my own, I have had many of my friends and family asked me to watch over their pets while they need help, I have fostered my friends pets and help them find the forever home and do not mind being a cuddle puddle of fur I’m currently in school full-time but available early mornings afternoons evenings, and overnight. Typically, I only have one class per day and I’m pretty flexible with what I can do to help other people and their pets I live in an apartment building and take my pets for walks multiple times a day on a leash. We will adventure to some local hiking trails while on leash, and dog parks as well to let that extra steam off

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 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!

About: I have taken care of family and friends pets since I was a young child. My family has had both small and large dogs which I always enjoyed spending time. I have had experience with puppies, and dogs of old age. I am committed to helping both yourself and your furry friend with whatever they need! Whether it be a run, a walk or even just some snuggle time. I look forward to working with you and your pet! I am currently working Monday to Thursday and Saturdays. I am off on Fridays and Sundays. I am available Monday and Wednesday mornings until 11, and Tuesday and Thursday evenings anytime after 4:30! I have a warm and cozy apartment that is suitable for any breed. I am within walking distance to several parks and hiking trails. I do not have a furry friend of my own so no need to worry if your pet is unsure of others.
