“We had such a great experience with Katherine. The daily updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear Quinn was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. It made being away so much easier. I truly can’t recommend Katherine enough!”
“Cindy took very good care of our baby girl and made her feel so comfortable. We really appreciate her and her husband and how they looked after Poppy. Highly recommend reaching out to her for day care or boarding!”
“Heather was amazing with my buddy Bakker. He is a rescue and a bit skiddish and takes a while to warm up to people and other dogs. She was very patient with him and slowly introduced him to her fur babies and within a couple of hours he was fine.”
“Sara took excellent care of our energetic Airedale terrier. He had multiple walks, a clean and spacious house, and large fenced backyard. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, and we knew that our dog was very well cared for. They have 2 friendly, non-aggressive dogs that played well with our dog. I highly recommend Sara and Cody for anyone who wants exceptional care for their dog.”
“We were incredibly fortunate to find Emilie & Vitaly to take care of Sadie while we were away for the week. From the very beginning, Emilie’s communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured. The daily photos and updates were wonderful and gave us peace of mind knowing that Sadie was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. It was clear that she was in loving and capable hands. We would highly recommend Emilie & Vitaly and their children to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Sadie!”
“Angi is such a wonderful attention to our family! She was attentive to our senior girls needs and they settled in so nicely. Angi sent us a picture overnight as well. Highly recommend Angi.”
“Where do we begin? We were so nervous about leaving Nicky with strangers. And we are truly so grateful to have found Susan and Brian. Full disclosure, we thought about not writing this review so that we could keep Susan and Brian all to ourselves, but we know that they will take very, very good care of other, beloved pets so here we are. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Susan and Brian! They made sure that our human and the furry family members were comfortable from the start. Communication was excellent. They made sure to keep us updated with regular messages and photos. They also created a little “report card” upon our return so we knew exactly how and what Nicky was doing each day — such a thoughtful touch! They went above and beyond while caring for our dog. When Nicky had unexpected tummy issues, they handled it with such care and ease. We had peace of mind the entire time we were away. We highly recommend Susan and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, kind, gentle, funny, dedicated and wonderfully caring sitters for their furry family members. Susan and Brian, thank you so much!”
“Rieko is a very attentive and kind person. You can see how much she loves dogs and takes care of them. She regularly sent me pictures of my dog, and I saw my dog was calm and happy. If someone is looking for a dog sitter in Collingwood- you should take your dog to Rieko.”
“I love how much Ginger gets excited to stay with Anne and Andrew (& their dog, Winter!). It feels like Ginger’s second home and I’m so grateful to have found such wonderful sitters for her! Anne always shares lots of photos and updates. The best!”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
“Adi and Ipshita took incredible care of our mini sheepadoodle, introducing him to new friends, giving him lots of exercise and cuddles, and even a trim (with our permission of course). They treated him as if he were their own and he really bonded with both of them. Highly recommend! 😀”
“Tim and Salma were great! They were able to accommodate a last minute request, asked them a day before and they were thankfully available to watch our dog for us. Sent us a bunch of pictures and videos, as well us updated us throughout his stay. Thank you so much tim and Salma! Would recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter and we will definitely be booking again!”
“This was the first time having to leave our dog with someone he doesn’t know and it was for just over a week and he is an anxious dog with bad separation anxiety typically but he absolutely loved his stay with Sheila. We were super nervous to leave him not knowing how he would respond being anxious and a picky eater but Sheila gave us so much comfort with providing updates and he warmed up to her and she got him to eat with no problems! We are so glad we found someone we can trust that our little guy loves and will be using Sheila again for any of our dog sitting needs. Chase absolutely adores you Sheila and we couldn’t thank you enough! Highly recommend!!”
“Dale is absolutely amazing with our dog. To be honest, I will only use someone else if she is not available and I absolutely need a sitter. Otherwise, I will only use Dale. Nyrton”
About: I've been caring for animals for 39 years. Over that time I've lived with and looked after cats, dogs, rabbits, and rats, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of pets and their different personalities and needs. My professional background includes work at animal hospitals, grooming salons, and animal rescues. That experience, along with caring for my own pets, taught me how to deliver caring, loving, and thoughtful care that is also medically aware. I'm comfortable providing medical support, administering medications, and caring for special-needs dogs. In several situations I've been able to recognize the early signs of serious medical emergencies in dogs and respond appropriately. Working in rescue also deepened my understanding of animal behaviour and stress. I know that being away from their person can be hard on pets (and on their owners), so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment and keeping communications clear so both of you can feel more at ease. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm available any time during the week for drop-ins, dog or cat hangouts at my home, or working from your home so your pets can stay in their own familiar space. I am also available weekends as well Just let me know what works for you and your pets! I currently have a pet free home. I do have crates if your pet prefers that or they can cuddle up in bed. Your dog would only be walked on a leash or put out on a very secure, strong cable as I do not have a fenced yard. In your home I would follow any rules and routines you have in place.
“Emma has such a calm presence! She was very confident and immediately natural around our very high energy 1 year old golden doodle, she didn’t seem like he was going to be anything she hadn’t seen. She sent the sweetest videos of him running around and playing with the other pups and having tons of outside time which is exactly what he loves and needs. She took the time to explain to us as first timers how the process would go and how she ensures she gives the new puppy 1:1 time with her to get to know her first. We will most definitely be returning. The outdoor and indoor set up is amazing and Aspen had a great stay! Thanks Emma!!”

I’m so grateful to Emilie, Vitaly and their family for welcoming Jackson so last minute after I fell ill and was admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery. They were super accommodating, sent me photos and updates and were very understanding when I asked to extend the stay due to waiting longer for surgery. Thanks so much!!!!
Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!
We left our little guy overnight with Angi for the first time and she was wonderful with our senior boy. He has very serious separation anxiety from his humans, so she kept us informed of when he settled down, she played with him, set pictures, and in the end he was very calm when I picked him up. Will definitely be boarding him with Angi again. Her place is clean, debris free - perfect for pets, she obviously loves animals and knows what they need. She's also great with people which is important for me :)
Michelle is the most awesome dog sitter!! We just moved to Collingwood and Michelle was our pick for our 80 lb Bernedoodle, Ziggy. Ziggy loved his walks and playtime with the other dogs. Michelle handles dogs well. She is highly organized and sent some really good photos of Ziggy’s activities with her. Ziggy had a visible smile on his face for several days after his first visit with Michelle.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Collingwood home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Collingwood
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 dog, 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
