“Katherine is absolutely incredible, from the first time you meet her and her adorable daughter you can see how much they absolutely adore animals! I was constantly updated about rozie and the pictures and videos were absolutely heartwarming. Rozie can’t wait to go back to this incredible house with some incredible people. Do your animal a favour and see if you’ll be lucky enough for Katherine to look after your animal.”
“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.”
“First time leaving Dexter overnight, let alone for a week. He could not have been better cared for, I am so appreciative. Jillian treated him like her own, I was a little worried he might not want to come home :). Will definitely use Jillian again if the need arises.”
“Tyson loved his stay! We appreciated being able to leave him with Susan and Brian in their home and their wonderful care while away. Great communication/pics sent. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
About: For over three years, I traveled across Canada house sitting and caring for my hosts’ fur babies. I’ve looked after many furry friends with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I learned how to make each one feel safe and comfortable. Now that I’m settled in Collingwood, I’m excited to welcome fur babies into my own home. I work remotely, so your fur baby will never be left alone. I’m always home to keep them company, with regular walks, playtime, meals on schedule, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to follow your fur baby’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel right at home. Your fur baby’s safety and well-being are my top priority. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home, and I’ll send you photo updates so you always know how they’re doing. I follow your instructions on feeding, medication, and care, and I’ll always reach out if anything comes up. My goal is to give your fur baby a loving, secure place to stay while you’re away.
“Angii was a terrific sitter for our dog. He felt comfortable with her quickly and she thoughtfully sent us photos during his stay. We would definitely book with Angii again. Five Stars!”
“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!”
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”
“Tessa was wonderful with our girl! She stayed with her for about 10 days and took such great care of her. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Tessa sent updates and photos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. She's kind, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd of my own along with a cat and a bunny! My dog would love to join all of the adventures but also understands that not everybody wants to be friends! I am currently work a part time job and have a flexible schedule! I am available mornings, afternoons and nights! This includes weekends as well. I have an unfenced yard and my dog is let outside by leash. This is compensated by MANY walks in a day and lots of adventures. My home is spacious and my dog is extremely welcoming and loves to make fur friends.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog named Ginger, who lived to be 16 years old. She was one of the greatest friendships of my life, and the bond we shared taught me just how special the connection between humans and dogs can be. I love going on walks and exploring trails with dogs, playing with them, communicating with them, and building a bond where they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I find dogs incredibly amazing, amusing, genuine, and full of unconditional love. Every dog has their own unique personality, and I love getting to know them. I currently have a four year old American Bulldog and Chow Chow mix named Tayah, who is my best friend. We do everything together, and caring for her has made my love for dogs grow even stronger. I also have hands on experience training my own dog. Tayah is very smart, and I have taught her to go potty outside, learn new tricks, and work through reactive behaviours. Training her has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, communication, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. I know that every dog learns differently, and I believe in taking the time to help them feel comfortable while encouraging positive behaviours. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. Whether your dog loves exploring trails, learning new things, playing, or simply enjoying some company, I want to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. 🐶💕 I currently work from home as a social media content creator, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability throughout the day. This allows me to provide dogs with plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and playtime. I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I follow their regular routines and their owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any specific needs they may have. I always prioritize their safety and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I have experience caring for my own dog, Tayah, as well as helping care for my sister’s cat, Ninja, including feeding him when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“Shelley was an absolute dream dog sitter! She sent us lots of photos and even printed off an adorable picture and framed it of our dogs. She clearly just loves dogs and we will definitely use her again! This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience.”
About: After losing our 13 year old dog, my children and I started fostering for a local rescue group 4 years ago. During this time, I have taken care of numerous dogs of different breeds and prepared them for their new families. I babysit for our friends and family on a regular basis. I work full-time, but my office is 5 mins from my home so can do lunchtime visits, so older housetrained pets are best. Weekends are more flexible and can watch younger pets at these times. I have a large fenced yard and (2) older dog-savy children. I live in a quiet community and can easily go for walks with the dogs. I can take crate trained or housetrained pets and am flexible with allowing them on furniture or not.
“Winnie was very happy when I collected her, very pleased with. Idols care. She made me laugh when she said Winnie jumped on the bed and jumped up on top of the cat!!Will certainly take Winnie to her again, thank you”
“Natasha and Sandro were amazing dog sitters! They went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt comfortable in their home. Lightning enjoyed playing with their dog, Phoenix. It was great seeing messages from them along with updated pics too. Thank you for taking such good care of Lightning.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Collingwood is $50

Renay cared for Mouse, my older Yorkie, for 6 days at the end of October. After meeting Renay and her wife, I felt perfectly confident that Mouse, who can be up during the night, whose hearing and sight are impaired, and who prefers to meander and sniff repetitiously on her short walks, would be accommodated, comfortable, safe and happy in their home. After I got the first few pictures of Mouse settling in, I knew I could enjoy my holiday without worrying about her If you are looking for someone who will care for your dog the way she would her own, Renay comes highly recommended!
Emilie & Vitaly looked after our dog Darla for a few days and they were great. Darla was treated like a member of their family and the kids played with Darla which she loved. Our dog is a family friendly miniature Aussie and craves attention and she got lots of that with Emilie. My wife and I strongly recommend this family as excellent dog sitters. They only take one pet at a time which is a real bonus!
Katherine was so lovely. I am traveling away from home/our usual sitter and was nervous using someone new to look after Annie. Katherine quickly calmed my anxiety by sending very regular photos, videos, and updates! Annie came back tired and happy :) I’ll use Katherine again next time I’m in town.
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Collingwood is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $80 per night. 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 Collingwood 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.

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.
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.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
You and your Collingwood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
