House Sitting in Barrie

“Lauren was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. She stayed with my pets over a long weekend, and when I got home, they just didn't want her to leave! They were well taken care of, happy, and extremely well cared for. I would trust my home and my pets with Lauren any day of the week. Next time I'm in need of someone to watch the pets, Lauren will be my go-to without a second thought.”

“Jenna was an amazing sitter. She looked after my dogs as if they were her own. She was punctual and friendly! She made sure to set my mind at ease by updating me with how the dogs are doing on a daily basis. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!!!”

About: I love all pets and would love the opportunity to help take care of yours. I would walk, feed, bathe and play with your pup. I live close to the beach and often go to the dog park with my neighbour. I’m currently at home all week and my kids will be home for the summer, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet while you are busy. I have a big crate if needed. A big yard for playing and a 5 min walk to the beach to cool off on hot days.

“For the first time in two years I had to leave my rescued shihtzu Gracie with another person for the weekend. However, Doris had walked Gracie before so they knew each other and I had developed trust in her. Doris was amazing with Gracie. She spoiled her with extra walks and lots of love. She kept me updated with pictures and texts and when I returned home she gave me a full report on the weekend’s activities. Doris is a warm and caring person and I would highly recommend her to any person looking for a mature and responsible walker/sitter.”

“Many thanks to Bill for housesitting for our dog Milton while we were on vacation for almost 2 weeks. We really needed someone to care for Milton at our home where he’s become comfortable since having him as a rescue for only 6 months. We rested assured that Bill provided great care keeping us informed with texts and pics. Bill has an easy-going manner and we came home to a very relaxed and happy dog - and the house was as we left it too! Hope to call on Bill again!”

“Deanna, you exceeded my expectations! You were amazing with Bruce (who takes a minute to let you in), very communicative with updates and responded promptly when I reached out. You left our house clean and ready for us to come home to after an exhausting weekend away. You gave me great peace of mind and I can’t say enough how much I appreciate you. Thank you Deanna.”

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.

“Emma exceeded our expectations when watching our furry friend, she went beyond her duties to ensure our vacation was worry free! Thanks Emma!”

“Natalie was Great! She was super responsive to our messages before and during pet sitting. Sent us great updates and the cutest pet news flash at the end to sum up Chief's time! SO CUTE!! Also, she is the only person who has managed to break through Chief's skeptical exterior, and he seemed to really like her! She's definitely got a magic about her! Thank you again Natalie!”

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.

“Took great care of our dogs, including puppy who isn't housebroken yet. We will definitely be wanting her back again!”

“Brianna was really amazing! She stayed in our home for 7 nights and cared for our pup. Brianna communicated with us every day (usually more than once) and kept us updated about how things were going. Our house was spotless upon return and Murphy was incredibly happy.”

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: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I had 2 of the most loyal and playful golden doodles growing up. I now own a 5 year old rottweiler and a senior staffy who is 15 years old! I have cared for a clients husky for multiple occasions and overnight care as well as periodically walked a german sheppard/rottweiler. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, medications, or overnight care. I will always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly am a dog person through and through. They teach us how to love and be loyal without words and I think that is the most beautiful thing! I love the outdoors. I am offering services of walks for your fur babies in your neighbourhood, downtown or in trails near by. I am also offering pop in visits to feed, or give some love to your animal's as well as overnight care in your home for whatever amount of time you need. I currently work as an Educational Assistant full time. I will have more availability in June as I switch to part time. Come July and August I will have full time availability at whatever time you need me! In my clients home I will follow their routine with their animals. It will be almost as though their owners never left! I strive to make animals happy, calm and safe.

“Angela was great! She came for a visit to meet the boys prior to the booked date. Was punctual and sent me photos. They enjoyed their time with her.”

About: Ever since I was young I always loved animals, not only cats and dogs...but each and every animal I see around... I always communicate with them and give them as much as love as I can!! I'm currently enjoying my college life and being with pets gives me a plentiful worthy time to spend with these cuties.Even I have an innovative way of training puppies. I always try to maintain a safe environment for these fur babies and always use to clean and refill the empty bowls and never make them feel bored.

About: I have taken care of my family's dog since he first came to us 6.5 years ago! I was his primary carer when he was a puppy in the home and was happy to be by his side for whatever he needed. I was up with him in the middle of the night when he had accidents and with him throughout the day for training. Now, I (or a family member when I cannot) take my dog on walks, feed him and play with him every day. I have pet-sat for friends during short-term and long-term stays for both cats and dogs! I love discovering and providing enrichment activities for your pet to exercise their mind and be active even within your home. I have a deep respect for the animal's comfort in their environment and am open to accommodating any needs of your animal and you. I am currently not working and therefore have lots of time to spend with your animal! I have minimal commitments throughout the week, so I can meet the animal's needs promptly. I am open to multiple drop-ins or staying overnight; whatever feels best for you and your pet. I am confident in reading animals' body language to understand their comfort and needs. I will meet your animal where they are at and mirror their energy during interactions in order to build their trust. I am comfortable following each instruction you have for your pet while caring for it in your home. I can stick to a strict schedule and can instruct the animal if it needs to be crated. Additionally, I have administered oral medication to dogs in the past and am comfortable doing so for yours if needed.

About: I’ve been caring for pets independently since I was 11, from looking after my own animals to dog-sitting for neighbors while they’re away. I’m comfortable with overnight stays in clients’ homes and always make sure pets get consistent love, attention, and care so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are gone. I’m currently a full-time student at Georgian College. I’m available weeknights after 7 PM, I’m done classes at noon on Fridays, and I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I provide attentive, reliable care that keeps pets feeling safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, playtime, and any specific instructions given. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, engagement, and affection, while also maintaining structure and consistency. For cats, I focus on a calm approach, keeping their environment clean, respecting their space, and giving them affection and play when they’re comfortable. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their wellbeing, comfort, and happiness at all times.
