“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!”

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 always had a love for dogs and that followed me into adulthood where I've spent the last five years working in rescue. Within the last few years, I've pursued my passion of co-founding and becoming the director of a local dog rescue in the GTA (MUTTS Dog Rescue) and embarked on various trips to the US and across Canada to help save and rehome dogs in need. I've fostered 10 dogs (and counting) from 5 weeks old and up, fostered four baby kittens, helped care for three family dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, dog sat a number of times, and currently have two rescue dogs (a husky/lab/shep x and a meximutt) and three cats. Working in rescue has helped me gain a deeper understanding of a dog's mannerisms and behaviours which allows me to advocate for them in the way they deserve. I work from home full-time which allows me more than enough time and flexibility to provide all the things needed to help you and your pets out! With over 25 years of experience under my belt, I have the confidence and knowledge to properly care for your pet whether that be through crating, feeding, walking and/or providing medication. A double leash will be beneficial should the dog be a flight risk and a loose lead walk will be given with proper corrections if needed. My main priority is the safety of your dog. Pet care is a part of my every day life with 2 dogs and 3 cats. I will always make time for my pets and in turn make time for yours! Our pets receive the utmost of care. We have a large fenced yard, multiple crates in the home to provide safety and security, gates in the home to ensure dogs don’t get into anything they shouldn’t, toys are away to manage proper play.
“When Mosi’s regular walker had an emergency, I reached out to Tatyana who was available and responsive. She was great with Mosi and went above and beyond. I look forward to her spending more time with Mosi as I know he’ll be in loving hands!”

About: Shared my life with dogs and cats for 20 years. I also volunteer at the humane society where I have received training on proper ways to interact with animals. I currently work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for taking care of animals. My availability is open during the weekends as well. I currently live in an apartment unit. I always insure I create a positive cozy environment for pets and include lots of play and potty time.
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 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: Dogs - I have owned a dog since I was little and there has rarely ever not been one in the house. Cats- I have owned cats before and also kittens as well. I have completed a full 2 credit Co op at the OSPCA when in high school. I have lots of personal experience and knowledge with dogs and cats, either owning or taking care of them. I do have a full time job but I love to spend my time off caring for animals and getting to know new people and their pets :) I am respectful, easy going, polite, and punctual. I look forward to getting to know you and your animal(s). I currently work full time at Costco but I make time out of my schedule for taking care of animals because I love to do it I own a dog and he is very friendly. I’ve had him since he was a pup and he’s high energy so we spend time on a lot of walks, and we do a lot of enrichment time whether it’s just playing or doing tasks for treats. If I were to come to a clients home I am very respectful and will focus on your pet and make sure all their needs are met and are well looked after. Let me know of any routines to follow or just basic care and daily feeding schedules.

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.

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.

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.
