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.”

Will definitely use Samantha in the future. Thanks so much for taking great care of our boy.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barrie
This was my first time ever boarding my dog with someone I did not know and had only met once. This my anxiety about it was higher than my dog’s. Sue was fabulous. Calm, confident without arrogance or the self-assuredness that screamed she would do it her way. Sue listened and followed the instructions that I knew were best for Storm. She kept me updated as she started to do activities with Storm (lots of attention he wanted for nothing). I was able to inject small advices to ensure Storm was protected and she adapted as explained. Storm came home to me better for having the experience with Sue. He is welcome back to Sue anytime but most importantly, I would have no hesitation of leaving him with her except maybe he would like it too much.
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.
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!
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. 💖🐾

On Rover, sitters 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.
sitters in Barrie have an average of 16 years of experience. Each sitter has their own unique experience and skill sets for different types of pets. You can find details of each sitter’s potential certifications and abilities, such as pet first-aid or senior pet experience, listed on their profile. Look at other pet parent reviews and repeat pet parent booking rates for an idea of their pet care exp erience.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.
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.
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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
