“Jersy is very sweet. Super gentle with dogs. My dog took a quick liking to her which was really good! She is great at communicating and working with my schedule whenever I need to change things around. Always updating you on walks and other things. Very trustworthy as well. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat if they need a walker for their dog.”

“Roma absolutely loves Doris! Very reliable sitter and always on time, if she needs to push the walk to a later time (only been half an hour for me) she’ll let you know before you book! We love Doris and have rebooked multiple times. I recommend Doris to everyone! Thank you for caring and loving Roma like your own!”

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.

About: I began taking care of dogs at 12 years old, starting with my first puppy. I have participated in various puppy classes to support my family dogs as a child, and now as an adult I continue to take part in this learning. I am enrolled with my newest pup now to support his learning, and mine! In my experience over the years with dogs, I have built confidence in taking care of the spectrum of ages from puppies and senior dogs. I am happy to move at a faster pace with more intensive play or stroll along - whatever the pup/dog needs - I am there to meet their needs. I have flexibility in my schedule to support your dogs needs. Communication is important to me, so should my schedule shift my availability will be updated to ensure you are updated. Additionally, if I make a commitment you and your furry friend, you can be assured that this commitment is a priority to me! It is important that I hear from you about what your dog needs. I am happy to spend time in your backyard letting your pup sniff around or play fetch. I also am keen to get your dog out of the house and moving to walk on routes they are comfortable with or explore new spaces.

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: Hello there! I’m a fun, easygoing, and friendly animal lover who can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! Providing pet care has become one of my greatest joys. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m able to devote my time, love, and attention to caring for yours as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight companionship, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs, but I truly enjoy caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Every pet receives patient, attentive care tailored to their individual needs. I also believe it’s the little things that make a difference. I’ll happily keep up with brushing, wipe muddy paws after walks, and help with basic home care while you’re away—including watering your plant babies, so don’t forget to introduce me during our meet-and-greet! My approach to dogs is inspired by Cesar Millan’s philosophy of calm, confident leadership, while always respecting each dog’s unique personality and routine. My calendar is kept up to date, so if you see availability, I’d love to hear from you! If you have any questions or would like to arrange a meet-and-greet, feel free to send me a message. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I make my clients a priority. When you've booked with me, you can be sure that nothing else is planned for my day other than taking care your pets. I absolutely love caring for pets in the comfort of their own homes! It really helps them feel relaxed, safe and happy in their own space. You can trust that I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care. Many clients have welcomed me into their homes while they were away, and I ensure you’ll feel safe and comfortable with me too. I always take my time to get to know new spaces, during meet and greets, and I go over a mental checklist of questions to make sure I have everything covered. If anything comes up, I won’t hesitate to bring it up or send you a message. I will need to get a detailed picture of a “day in the life” of your pets so I can stick closely to their routine. So a write up of your pet’s routine and needs would be very handy. Your security is super important to me, so I’ll keep all your details private and ensure no one comes to your home without prior discussion—except, of course, for the occasional food delivery! 😄

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 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: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I love getting outside for walks, playing, exploring, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, from playful and adventurous pups to those who prefer a slower stroll and lots of cuddles. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel happy, loved, and safe. Working shift work, my schedule varies from week to week—but that also gives me flexibility on my days off! I keep my Rover calendar updated with my current availability and am happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs. I’m especially happy to accommodate walks and drop-in visits when I’m off work. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously! I’ll treat your pup like family, while making sure they’re safe, comfortable, supervised, and having a great time. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and just as I found them. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident that your pet is in caring, dependable hands while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: I have been working with animals since I was 14, I started as a kennel attendant in a veterinary clinic setting and have volunteered with many rescues and animal shelters since. Personally, I have fostered 13 dogs. Therefore, I have experience with a wide range of breeds behaviours and medical issues and not a whole lot phases me. I have experience with training and loose leash walking, as well as a variety of training tools like slip, leads, E collar, prong collar, harnesses, halties. etc. I am happy to tailor each dogs walk or drop in visit to their specific needs. I work a full-time hybrid job and my schedule changes week to week but I would be happy to communicate each week to figure out a schedule that works best for the dog. I have many years experience, taking care of clients dogs in their homes and will always leave your home as I found it, or even better.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Barrie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Barrie on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 720 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Barrie. About 83% of Barrie sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Barrie. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Barrie.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find walkers in Barrie with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Every walker 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 .

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.

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 walker.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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!

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers 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.
