“Doris was absolutely wonderful caring for my cats. I had never been away from them for this long, she was very reassuring and I knew they were in good hands! She was always on time and sent great updates and pictures. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”

About: Hi, I'm Michelle! I am a life-long animal lover and currently have two dogs and three bunnies of my own. My own dog was a very timid rescue, and our journey together led me to learning about dog behavior and training in depth. We love trying out new dog sports and tricks to build her confidence! I currently foster dogs as well and volunteer with a rescue as a post-adoption coordinator, giving assistance to families that also have nervous or reactive rescues. I'm currently available for dog walking or drop in visits for your dog, cat, or rabbits. I have had bunnies for several years and am knowledgeable on their nutrition and other needs. So if you need an experienced bunny sitter in the Barrie area during your time away I'm your girl! I work in the photography business and absolutely love pet photography. I will gladly send photo updates of your pet during our time together :) see photos in profile for examples of the quick snapshots taken during walks or home visits I am currently working from home on flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! Anytime is available weekends and evenings. For weekdays between 9-5 I am flexible for walks or home visits, pick a time and we can discuss! For walks, I like to keep your dog comfortable and in a familiar setting since they are being accompanied by someone new. I will stick to your usual route/in the same area as your home. I will typically avoid larger dogs or busy streets if they seem anxious or distracted, but please let me know if there are any other factors that your dog should avoid. When we come back home I can place them back in their crate if that is preferred.
“Jade was so incredibly patient with our little guy! He is very nervous/skiddish so it’s not always easy to approach him. Not that he’s aggressive or anything just very stand-offish. She gently coaxed him into his harness and gave him time to warm up to her. She successfully got him out on his walk! Which is a miracle, most of our family members can barely manage as much. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, safe, happy and taken care of ❤️❤️❤️ We’re so appreciative that the first time we left him with anyone that it was Jade! She is the puppy whisperer!”

“Now, the Fluff-Monster does truly love EVERYONE in the world, but she is A LOTTA DOG and takes a special person who can master her exuberance. Sue was the right mix of firm calmness to manage the 1000 volts of happiness and "LET ME WALK" that is the Fluff-bomb, aka Fluffy the dog. I highly recommend Sue ... except when we need her more ;)”

About: I have years of experience caring for several breeds of dogs of all sizes and personalities not only as a pet owner but also as a volunteer at the Humane Society. Still physically able to take your athletic dog on a vigorous walk or for the lap dogs happy to provide companionship simply watching a good movie. I currently do not have a dog and felt this would be a great opportunity to provide a service and in turn enjoy the company of several different dogs. Being retired affords me the time to take extra special care of your loved one, previously in my full time working life I still did not leave any of my dogs alone for more than four hours at a time. New to Rover but it sounds great and look forward to caring for your dog(s)

“Nicole was amazing from the start when we did a "meet & greet"! Asked a lot of questions then confirmed what I was requesting. She communicated when she arrived to walk Bambam and sent photos & videos. Nicole was very friendly amd extremely professional. Came home to a very happy dog!”

About: I grew up raising dogs from puppies to senior dogs, volunteering in shelters and have spent my life reading their body language, energy and needs. I specialize in calm, structured walks that help dogs feel safe, confident and balanced-especially those who struggle with anxiety or over stimulation. I don't rush, overwhelm, or force; I lead with patience, consistency, and quiet confidence so a dog can relax and trust the walk. I also have deep experience caring for senior dogs. I recently said good bye to our family Weimaraner Lexi, who taught me the importance of gentleness, awareness and dignity in every stage of a dog's life. Whether your dog needs confidence building, a steady routine, or thoughtful care tailored to their age and temperament, I treat every dog as an individual-never just another booking. Right now, I'm primarily available on weekends, with some flexibility for weekday evening walks or drop-ins. I'm intentional about my schedule so every visit stays calm, unrushed, and consistent-especially important for anxious dog who rely on routine. My availability will be expanding in the near future as I transition towards pet care as a primary focus. This means increased weekday flexibility and priority scheduling for repeat clients who value long-term consistency. I'll always be clear and upfront about availability before confirming a booking, so there are no surprises-for you or your dog. My home is calm, structured, and safety-focused. Dogs are cared for with clear routines, close supervision, and attention to body language and stress levels. I prioritize consistency so dogs feel secure and know what to expect. This is the same standard I follow with my own Doberman, who receives structured daily walks, routine feedings, constant access to fresh water, and regular training, trust-building exercises, and enrichment puzzles. I keep the environment clean, low-stress, and intentional, so dogs can relax and feel confident while in my care.
“Katie was great - super communicative and very professional. We needed to make a last minute change to our booking, and she was very accommodating. We are looking forward to booking her again at the end of the month.”

About: I am an animal enthusiast who has always been attuned to the needs of animals. I have experience with mainly cats and dogs but honestly love all creatures. I have so much care that I would love to share and feel like helping others care for their animals would be a great way to spend my time. I am open to almost all schedules at this time. Reach out to me and we will figure out if I'm the right sitter for your pet. My dog is always leashed outside and I take her on multiple walks a day. I do have a fenced backyard as well. She is friendly with other dogs while boarding so I would not have any concerns. But if needed I do have the space to keep your pet separate/crated.
About: I have taken excellent care of pets for friends, family members and clients since I was 14 years old. I have also had pets of my own (dogs, cats, fish, bunnies) that have provided me a lot of knowledge around how to best take care of different animals at all stages of life. While I do work 8:00-4:00 during the week. I partner with my sister to ensure that I can provide the best care possible with her stopping in during the day if required. As a pet sitter, my priority is providing a safe, loving environment where your pets feel at ease. You can trust that I'll treat them with the same care and attention as if they were my own. Your pet's well-being and comfort are my top concern, always

Jenna is an excellent pet sitter! She took great care of my two cats. I’m always nervous to go away because my one cat has had some urinary medical emergencies in the past that are significantly worsened by stress. I booked Jenna to come twice a day to look after both and give medication and she took such good care of them. She definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She send me thorough updates with pictures and followed my instructions well. I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands and feel so lucky to have found a gem of a sitter for my kitties! Thanks so much Jenna!

Amin took care of our cat for about 11 days. We were a bit worried at first since our cat doesn't take well to new faces, but he was able to get our little fur baby to warm up and took such good care of him, keeping us posted every day after the visit with notes and photos. Thank you for taking care of him :)
Meeting Randi, I loved her instantly and she her experience with senior dogs and medication was a plus. She has come a few times now to look after my senior dog and she has been amazing! When I get home Stella’s love tank has always been filled up by Randi so she doesn’t even meet me at the door lol.

Tatyana is the best! My two fur babies always have the best time when she comes over to care for them. I always feel content knowing they are being well looked after when I am away. It’s not easy to find someone that has so much confidence handling a Belgian Malinois. Tatyana always goes above and beyond.
