House Sitting Collingwood

“This was Richard’s first time looking after my dog, Lexie and he was extremely responsive and personable. He kept me up to date on how things were going and sent pics (which I love!). I will definitely be using Richard again.”

About: Animals are my passion, through and through. I have been taking care of animals for the majority of my life. I have experience with caring for a wide range of animals, cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies, as well as a variety of farm animals (chickens, horses, and donkeys). I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personality types, from huge to tiny, chill to reactive. I modify my care based on individual needs. All animals are always treated with love, respect, and compassion when under my care. I am experienced with administering various medications, as well as with some first aid. I provide basic training while on walks, and will report back any behavioural issues/changes noted during their time with me. I know it’s a big decision to trust someone with the care of your pet, and I always strive to ensure my clients are at ease knowing their fur baby is in great hands with me. Weekday and weekend walks and drop in visits available within a close driving radius (anything above 20km is subject to an additional travel fee). I am available from 6am-9pm. Your fur baby will be in excellent hands with me. I treat all animals as if they were my own, they deserve nothing but love and attention! I follow the instructions for their care and always ask if I need clarification on any of the supplied information. I provided detailed reports, and note any changes to their behaviour or otherwise while in my care in the report card for each visit. I also upload several photos so you see what your pets got up to during our time together. Please know that the trust given to access a clients home is huge and is something I take it very seriously. Please be assured that the same care given to your fur babies is given to your home.

“Brianna was amazing with our dog while we were away. Thank you!”

“I wanted to share my wonderful experience with Ashley. She provided exceptional care for my 2 fur babies, and I truly appreciated the consistent photo updates she sent. It was clear that their well-being was her top priority. Ashley is highly attentive and professional, adhering to her own disciplined standards, such as never leaving the dogs alone for more than four hours. She was very accommodating of my schedule and paid close attention to every detail. As an added bonus, she even tidied up and washed the sheets during a single-night stay. This was absolutely five-star service, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Kari was a fantastic cat/house sitter! She stayed with my Spooky for 5 days and was very flexible and kind enough to offer to stay one extra night as when my flight was landing the weather was very bad. That allowed me to stay with a friend an extra night and not worry about rushing home in bad conditions. I really appreciated that! I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have always felt a strong connection to animals, especially dogs and cats. I wake up every morning looking forward to seeing a pup! This is why I treat every pet like my own. I pay attention to personalities, ages, quirks, and comfort levels so your fur babies get the best care possible for their needs. A happy pet is my goal! I am currently an online university student, which means I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to work on my studies from home while looking after furry friends! I care for all of my client’s pets as if they were my own. Both my client’s and their pets’ comfort and safety is my number one priority. I make sure to understand each individual pet’s personality, needs and preferences.

“Jessica stayed in our home with our two cats for the week and was great at keeping us in the loop with photos and updates as we had asked. We felt totally at ease knowing she was there and were able to enjoy our vacation!”

About: Work-from-Home Dog Lover by Scenic Trails — Available all day for exercise, potty breaks, belly rubs, extra snuggles, and attentive loving care. I joined Rover because I love dogs. I work from home, which means I can give dogs lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every break is spent walking, playing, or giving belly rubs. I live beside the Collingwood trail network, so I often take dogs on longer, scenic walks through the trails or down by the water. Your pup will enjoy exercise, fresh air, and plenty of companionship. I have beautiful grassy areas around my building and access to safe, scenic trails, which makes walks enjoyable and varied for dogs. Inside, dogs are welcome to make themselves at home — whether that means snuggling on the sofa or lounging on the bed. I treat every dog like family, giving them attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe and loved at all times.

About: I have owned animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, bunnies, geese, hamsters, and fish. I enjoy training and spending time with my dogs. They are my extended family and they are treated with love and care. My husband and I work mainly from home. I spend most of the day with my animals , they have space to sleep anywhere they want , in my office, in the living room or in the kitchen when I am making meals. I have a large fenced yard , my dogs enjoy having company. I am trustworthy and dependable, and will care for your pets like they are my own. I find working with animals peaceful and enjoyable, I am looking to supplement my income and my time with something I enjoy. In my home I focus on smaller dogs only, it allows the smaller breeds to feel safe and more comfortable.

“Brooke cared for our old giant Mastiff for 4 days and we were extremely pleased with her services. It was the first time we used Rover and a very long time since we had left our dog with a sitter so we were a little anxious but Brooke has a very professional approach. She was instantly at ease with our dog and displayed a lot of common sense and attention to details. She is grounded, calm and caring. We came back to a very happy dog and a spotless house. I highly recommend Brooke as a pet sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and trustworthy pet lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, playtime, overnight care, and providing companionship to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I usually travel for work so on the months I’m off I have a completely wide open schedule so I can give my full attention to your pets. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages, photos, and videos so they can feel confident that their furry family members are happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

“So glad to have Natasha look after my little senior gal - such a relief knowing she was there with her. Natasha was punctual, had good communication, and gave food and medication with no concerns! Very happy!”

“Tessa was so great, she is friendly, thoughtful and communicates well. We will definitely have her care for our pets and home again.”

About: I've cared for animals since I was a kid. From early morning walks to baths and meals, I have pet-sat for neighbours, friends and family for many years. Most recently I boarded a pet pig. I'm currently working as a freelancer remotely from my home. I am available any day or time of the week and can give your pet the care and attention it deserves. I have a spacious house and tree-lined yard - so location and timing are flexible. I have a car and will come to your residence if needed.

About: I have been a vet tech for over 5 years but decided that field is no longer for me. I knew I wanted to stay in the field with animals so I became a dog trainer, walker and boarder. Dogs have always been a passion of mine! I will treat your dogs just like my own.. lots of TLC 🥰 I am always around to let your fur babies out to do their business. I work very locally. We will always go for walks in the morning and evening! If you require me to live-in your home, I will need to bring along my personal dog as well. I also have a dog of my own that is super friendly and a great teacher to other dogs. I also have cameras set up around my home for extra safety.

“Abigail went above and beyond. From day 1 she kept us up to date on the goings on. I know our dog Bodhi will miss the attention she gave him 😁. I also feel like the house was in a better state than when we left. I would definitely recommend Abigail to anyone (and will be referring her to our friends).”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life. I was a trained foster volunteer at the Humane Society during my undergrad and currently live in a multi-generational home with my family with two cats and one dog. I have a background with handling Hounds and Terriers, and was previously an Airbnb Superhost for 8 years! I am a high energy, active individual with a strong sense of routine and gentle but commanding presence. I especially love walks in all weather and playing with pets. I currently work 9-5 during the week only with vacation and some remote flexibility. Growing up, I wanted to be a vet and live on a farm, but here I am working in banking and living in the suburbs! I am available for weekend and extended long-weekend care with a preference for pet sitting in rural communities in the Collingwood area and Prince Edward County where I split my weekend time. My almost 3 year old son will be joining me and I understand it is my responsibility to keep him safe and ensure he is not bothering your fur babies. I am very aware of the instincts of your animals to run especially when their family is away. I will be vigilant about managing any open doors and keeping your fur baby on their routine and watching for their signals. I will keep your fur family safe. With my background in being an Airbnb super host, I am happy to look after your house plants and provide light house cleaning, gardening, grass and snow removal.

About: I loved working with animals since childhood, tending to goats, sheep, horses, and chickens! I have a lot of patience when it comes to animals, especially dogs and cats! I currently have time off and have plenty of time to meet and spend time with your pets. I am available for multiple walks a day or in house sitting, just let me know what you’re looking for and I am happy to accommodate! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!! I love living an active lifestyle so I’d love to incorporate dog walking into my everyday activity! As of now, my schedule is open throughout the week during the day! If I’m hosting pets, I have a fenced in yard for them to play in. If I am pet sitting then I will make sure I am following the guidelines set up by the owner.
