“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 ;)”
“Michelle has been a wonderful pup sitter for our two furbabies. She is attentive, professional, and very patient as one of our girls is very shy and nervous. We look forward to continue having her watch our girls and watch their relationship grow”
“Erin did a perfect job taking care of our French Bulldog, Rok. We were away for the day, and we didn’t want Rok indoors and alone all day. Erin arrived at the prearranged time, and she took him for a walk. She made sure that he had enough time outside, and that his activity level was not too strenuous (he is experiencing a health issue). She also checked that he had water in his dish before she left. We will definitely be asking Erin to help us again! She is responsible and reliable.”
“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 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.

I also volunteered at Furry Friends Cat shelter for a number of years as well. I am available to petsit between my college classes that I'm currently taking. I have lots of availability to do pet sitting. I prefer doing pet sits for small/exotic animals as I have lots of experience with them and they don't typically need a specific time for a drop in. I do not care for pets in my own home due to the many pets I currently have already of my own. I offer pet sitting in your home. I can let dogs out for bathroom breaks, take them for walks, make sure all fur babies have fresh water and are fed. Change litter boxes and give lots of love and attention to your fur baby while your away.
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.
About: About Me Pets have always been a very special part of my life. Growing up on a farm gave me lots of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and a variety of animals and I’ve been lucky to share my home with furry friends of different ages over the years. As a recently retired Kindergarten teacher, I now have more time to do something else that I truly love — spending time with animals! Teaching taught me the value of patience, routine, consistency and recognizing that every individual has their own personality and needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I am available for dog walking, pet sitting and drop-in visits, and am happy to adapt each visit to your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable providing senior care and have experience administering oral and topical medications. I'm patient, gentle, and attentive to your pet’s behaviour & comfort level and will a focus on making every visit a positive experience. Why Choose Me You can count on me to be punctual, responsible, and attentive to the details that matter. I will follow your pet’s routines carefully and provide plenty of companionship and enrichment. I also understand how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet and am happy to keep you updated with messages & photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. For house sitting, I’m happy to bring in the mail, water indoor plants, and leave your home clean and tidy. My goal is simple: to care for your pets and your home as thoughtfully as I would my own. I am currently available for dog walking and drop-in visits for both cats & dogs during weekdays. I have availability for house sitting on some weekends as well. While caring for your pet in the safety of your own home, I will carefully follow all instructions regarding their needs, routines, behaviour & health. Any notes regarding preferences & favourite activities would be appreciated.
“Deanna was great at communicating, sent me photos of both of my cats as requested as well as a video after each visit showing she had locked my home after leaving. My babies were left in good hands while we were away! Thank you again, Deanna!”
“Anya was everything you could ask for from a pet sitter. Her communication was quick, reliable and thoughtful at all stages of the process. Our dog loves her and we can leave home knowing that she will be well cared for when we aren’t there. Couldn’t recommend Anya more.”
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: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs and cats reptiles, and right now I watch my sister’s three cats when she's away, so I’m totally used to multi pet chaos and schedules. I also own an older cat with a pretty spicy personality! She’s given me a ton of patience and experience with pets that need extra space, boundary respect, or medical care. Whether you have a high energy dog or a cat that just wants to be left alone, I know how to keep their routine safe and stress free. Since I am currently in between jobs, I have all the time in the world to focus on, play with, and care for your pets! I can look after your pets at your home, keeping them happy with daily walks, their usual food routine, and lots of attention also updates anytime needed for your comfort!
About: Hi! I’m a compassionate and reliable pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs. My background includes looking after a young small dog while providing care for a senior citizen, which involved daily walks, feeding, bathing, and keeping the space clean by managing pee pads. Most recently, I worked as an in-home dog caregiver for two medium-sized dogs ages 1 and 3 . I was responsible for walking them multiple times a day, maintaining their feeding schedule, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and ensuring the home stayed safe and secure while the owners were on vacation. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and loving care—whether that means going on long walks, sticking to a feeding routine, or simply keeping pets company while their humans are away. Your pets will be treated like family with me! I’m available for dog walks 4–7 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m also able to provide extended in-home care when needed. I offer a safe, comfortable home for small to medium dogs, with parks nearby for walks. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and can walk your dog in your neighborhood to keep things familiar.
About: I had a giant schnauzer. For over 2.5 years he required hourly attention and care for many health issues.

My home is set up with many beds, a large crate, and a fully fenced in backyard to care for your pet, 24/7 I am an entrepreneur with a very flexible schedule where I mostly work from home. I am able to attend to your pets needs all day and night. I treat pets like family!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barrie
Anya was everything you could ask for from a pet sitter. Her communication was quick, reliable and thoughtful at all stages of the process. Our dog loves her and we can leave home knowing that she will be well cared for when we aren’t there. Couldn’t recommend Anya more.
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.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!

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.
