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.

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 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: 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

I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive person who will treat your furry family member like one of my own. We have a sweet 4-year-old female (spayed) black Lab who absolutely loves everyone and is always happy to make new friends.

We have a fully fenced in yard where we can play fetch with the ball and frisbee and live close to the Ardagh bluff trails where we can enjoy long walks together exploring nature.

About: There has never been a period in my life that I have not owned a pet of my own. I also have experience working in vet clinics and caring for other people's pets in my own home. I love all animals of all shapes, sizes and needs. I work from home most days and can schedule my day as needed, meaning I can get up to attend to pets at any time. My evenings and weekend are work free. I enjoy getting outdoors for walks with dogs and enjoy curling up with a cat and reading a book. Play time in a pets day is essential as well and lots of time is spent having fun! I have a 2 story home with finished basement. I have 2 cats, our dog sadly passed away recently but we are family that loves dogs. 2 teenage girls who are also animal lovers who have always had pets in their lives. Both very gentle, caring and helpful. If I am coming into your home I will follow your direction and respect your wishes when it comes to your fur babies.

About: For years I’ve taken care of my family and friends dogs, along with my Springer Spaniel. Sadly, my Stella has recently passed away from an aggressive cancer, leaving my home very quiet. While I’m am not ready for a new pup myself, I am ready to give your fur baby all the love and attention needed to make sure they thrive. My home is setup to take on care for puppies to senior dogs, with lots of toys, beds, and a fenced in backyard. I am also available for walking needs, whether it’s a structured route or a run on their favourite trail. I’m currently working full time from home which makes me a perfect fit for any weekday dog sitting and I have flexibility in my schedule for walks throughout the day during the week. I can also be available for evening walks or any boarding needs. I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate your fur baby or limit access around the house as needed. As I’ve had my own dog and babysat other dogs, the house is set up for their safety

About: An enthusiastic dog lover and cat owner for all my life! I currently own one kitty, and am a dedicated foster home for our local cat shelter since 2016, where I have helped raise kittens from birth on multiple occasions. I am also responsible for the care and safety of a variety of animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, birds and fish at my current workplace of 3 years — not to mention all of the pet parents who come into the store with their dogs to visit with! I have so much love and expertise to go around for all felines, canines, and specialty pets! I work my other job on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, and get involved occasionally with local volunteer work, but for the most part my schedule is quite open and flexible! If any interested clients prefer to contact me directly regarding availability, I do my best to be very timely in responding to messages. I am very committed to the work and care required to keep pets safe and happy! I value integrity and commitment, and I strive to be a sitter you can always rely on. Though I don't currently board pets to my own home, I always like to ensure I know of every pet's needs in their own home, where their favourite treat is located or keeping their favourite napping spot nice and clean. I can adapt to almost any environment, and once you return it will be such a clean and happy space you might believe I was never there!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs all my life and truly have an unconditional love for all animals. Animals gravitate towards me because they sense my kindness and passion towards them. I’ve taught basic skills like sit, heel and roll over with my previous dogs and have taught my current cat to fetch and catch. I also know the best dog and cat foods to sustain animal health. You can’t always trust what doctors tell you. Animals are not so different from humans when it comes to food sources and illnesses. I believe with quality food, water and love your fur baby can live a long and thriving life. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies and I look forward to our professional relationship.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kind since I was a little girl. I have helped rescue many animals and have a keen eye for care and what the animal needs. Pet care is my time to refresh and relax. I love spending time with animals and being in nature. I love to accommodate and spoil all animals so they know how special they truly are. I observe the animals habits and behaviours to better understand it’s environment. I throughly understand how to make the animals feel like I’m just facilitating their best life possible.

About: My name is Shanice and I’ve cared for dogs since I was 3 years old. We’ve always had them around as I grew up into the complete animal lover I am today. You need not worry about your pet when you are away as he or she will be completely spoiled (with your permission of course). I have a dog of my own and she is very well socialized with cats and all other dogs. We’re looking to make some friends to run around, eat treats with, play fetch with, and lounge around watching “This is Us” when we’re all tuckered out! I really looking forward to meeting your pup and will respect any and all guidelines given by you the owner! Can’t wait to meet you both! I am a part time student and am completing school online so I am always around to watch your fur friend whenever you need. I do have one vacation booked in February right now however for a week. I am very loving and protective of my pets. I have a dog right now and take great caution with how I care for her. I do not feed her human food, keep things out of reach and anything she could possibly get into is always kept stowed away (cleaning supplies, ect). I have had dogs for many years, and my particular dog has a lot of energy so I know she can quickly be getting into something around the house, so I always have my eyes on her, ensuring she is content and behaving.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Barrie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Barrie is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 701 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Barrie after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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!
