“Liz is excellent service provider. We used her service first time, no complaints at all. She fed our dog on time shared tons of photos with us of him playing eating and sleeping every day. I highly recommend her.”
“Maisy, the 3-year-old Australian Shepherd and Dexter the 13-year-old Corgi mix looked like they slept pretty good and we're definitely well cared for. Four nights! It looks like they had a great time on their walks and the experience with Charlene was wonderful. She has a wonderful family welcoming young and old doggies. Highly recommend! Thank you so much”
“We love Jeanne. Napoleon stayed with her for a few days and was so well taken care of. She updated us throughout and we could see how much fun he had with her. I was so nervous at the thought of leaving my fur baby with someone else but I’d send him to her place anytime. She is amazing.”
“Lynee was great with Eevee! She was attentive and patient. Eevee had an awesome time and even went home with a homemade bandana. For sure recommend Lynne; we know we’ll be using her service next time!”
“Luna was well cared for. Taken on many walks and enjoyed tug of war games daily. Nicholas provided daily updates and pictures of Luna’s experiences. I definitely would use Nicholas’ services again and highly recommend him to others seeking peace of mind while you’re away.”
“Rohit was a great dog sitter for my Golden retriever pup! My dog seemed like he had a great time as Rohit took him on many walks in his neighbourhood. He sent regular updates throughout the day and informed me of any mishaps that happened. My dog came back home safe and happy!”
“Our girl Luna had a great stay with Jess and her family. This was our first time leaving her with someone other than family and we would trust Jess to care for her again. We received pictures and check ins, even though we were travelling internationally and couldn’t respond. Communication and the booking process was easy, user friendly and straight forward. Jess responded quickly. Luna returned home happy and tired :)”
“Lauren was amazing with fox. This was our very first time leaving our baby with a sitter and it was the best choice we ever did by picking lauren. Her and her family were so welcoming to Fox that he took to them right away. Did a check-in on him as a worried parent would, and the pictures that were sent to me were so adorable that I knew he was fine and happy. Would definitely highly recommend Lauren to look after your fur baby. I know myself and my husband we look forward to using Lauren again to babysit Fox.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better family to take care of my 10 year old Goldendoodle, Ginger! Anne and Andrew were amazing with caring for her while I was overseas for two months! Anne kept me in the loop with tons of updates and pictures. You could tell Ginger really grew attached to them, and she seemed so comfortable and happy there. She was spoiled and allowed up on the couch and even cuddled up in their bed! They also have an older Goldendoodle who’s the sweetest, and they got along so well. Their place is beautiful, safe, and perfect for dogs. I’d absolutely trust them with Ginger anytime and will definitely use them again. Anne and Andrew are truly wonderful dog sitters!”
“Yulia was great with my anxious dog. She has a really good instinct for how to handle dogs and was perfect for him. They were also flexible and accommodating to my shifting schedule. I highly recommend them!”
“Third booking with Theresa. My dog is really comfortable staying with her. Always a good experience with peace of mind knowing that Alvin is happy and well cared for. Thank you Theresa!”

Sue was awesome carer for our boy, Kye, who is a very big drooling boy, 170 lb affectionate Newfoundland who doesn’t know his own strength. Sue accommodated his every need though walking a freight train was challenging because he’s not a great leash walker, he’s headstrong so I’m very happy that Sue understood and she said she enjoyed his stay with her and her husband. Thank you Sue. Tip given😊
Lauren was amazing with fox. This was our very first time leaving our baby with a sitter and it was the best choice we ever did by picking lauren. Her and her family were so welcoming to Fox that he took to them right away.

Shannon was absolutely incredible with Ollie! She was so responsive, kept us updated throughout his stay, and sent lots of photos so we always knew he was happy and well cared for. Ollie came home happy, relaxed, and exhausted in the best possible way! It was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Shannon and will definitely be booking with her again!
Luna was well cared for. Taken on many walks and enjoyed tug of war games daily. Nicholas provided daily updates and pictures of Luna’s experiences. I definitely would use Nicholas’ services again and highly recommend him to others seeking peace of mind while you’re away.
Erika did a wonderful job caring for my cat over the last 10 days while I was away. I was pleased to hear he got along well hanging out with her two cats. Manny definitely got spoiled rotten going by his very happy attitude, and super soft fur, he was getting all the pets XD so if you're reading this review I would definitely recommend her as a sitter!
Tristan was great with my dog Charlie, who stayed for a full weekend. Communication was easy and prompt, with some nice updates and photos throughout the weekend. Tristan's dog Fifi is very sweet, and calm, and a great companion to visiting dogs. My dog Charlie can be very nervous at first with new dogs and Fifi quickly made him feel safe and calm quickly. The pre-stay meet and greet was a very helpful touch. Charlie came home from his weekend happy and well take care of, and will definitely visit Tristan again in the future!
April was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took care of our 10-month-old puppy, Sophie, for a full week and made the entire experience stress-free. April helped us feel comfortable the whole time by sending frequent photos and videos and always responding quickly with updates. She’s incredibly calm and attentive, and it was clear she was great at understanding and meeting Sophie’s needs. Sophie had such a great week, and we could tell she was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using April again and highly recommend her!
I had a great experience with yuting. She took wonderful care of Noah, kept me updated regularly, and made sure I was always informed. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Noah was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 💖🐾
She was so warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. My boys can be a little apprehensive at first, but her calm, positive energy helped them relax right away. They ran into the house and immediately had the zoomies, which is not like them unless they feel completely comfortable. I could tell they felt safe and happy in her care. When I picked them up, they were tuckered out, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I really appreciate how wonderful she was with them and would absolutely recommend her.
Nikole has done an amazing job taking care of Marty for a week. He’s a high-energy pup and can definitely be a handful, but she handled him with such care and patience. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands and having fun. Her regular, detailed updates made our vacation so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Barrie on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Every sitter 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 sitter.
