Pet Sitting in Collingwood

“Katherine was great with our three kitties. Prompt and proactive communicating with us.”

Alex W.

“Ellie was really wonderful during the meet and greet stage to make sure we felt comfortable, and was really clear with emphasizing that she would take care of our cat like he was her own - which really put us at ease. Ellie took great care of our cat during booked care visit. She made sure he got his medication and had fun playing. The pictures were great - and Ellie is excellent at communication. Highly recommend!”

About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!

“Thank you, Lorna! I appreciate your flexibility with a last minute booking and dropping in to see my cats. You were very communicative and easy to schedule with! I will be happy to book you again :)”

About: Hey there! I’m Chelsea (but I prefer Chlsy) and I'm the owner of PetVenture. First things first, I am insured! This is more than a hobby, it’s a lifestyle and career choice. You deserve to put your pets care in someone you can trust! Reliability is super important. I’d love to have a meet and greet and get to know you and your pet to see if it is a good fit for everyone involved. I’ve lived my life never not owning a pet and get comfortable pretty fast to each new pet I meet. Animals have always been a huge thing in my life. Best way to reach me is via Email or Text which can be found on my website. petventureco.ca Each pet client gets a 2 hour time frame in which care will be given. Some accommodations for a smaller time frame can be arranged, but this is situational (ex. Small bladder, strict medication times etc) Because I mainly offer walking and drop ins right now, the way I care for your pet differs based on your routine and preferences. Filling water and food dishes, walking, playing in your backyard, and much more.

“Jenn was great! She did daily drop in visits for our cat Monster while we were away. We could tell from the daily photos that he was having a great time with her. We could rest assured that he was in great hands!”

“Anya did an amazing job with my cats. She kept the litter box spotless and sent really good updates and pictures. I will definitely be working with her in the future!”

“Adam was great, first time meeting London and he dealt with her very well. She's very fearful, but took to him. He took her for a nice walk and she seemed very happy”

“Danielle was such a dream and took great care of our Kitty .. she sent detailed updates and photos to grant us peace of mind. We cannot thank her enough - this made our holiday away more enjoyable as we didn’t have the stress of worrying about the furry one at home.”

About: I spent my childhood helping my grandparents take care of animals at their boarding kennel and have been a huge animal lover ever since. I have had several animals of my own (dogs, cat, fish, & bunny). I regularly pet sit for friends and family and have started offering pet-sitting services, locally & abroad, for the past three years. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and other small animals. I treat every pet like family, making sure they’re comfortable in their own home environment while you’re away. You can count on me to provide not just the basics - food, walks, and play - but also companionship, calm presence, and genuine care. I have experience caring for senior pets who need extra patience, gentleness, and attention. I understand how to move at their pace, notice the little signs when they’re tired or uncomfortable, and keep them feeling safe and loved. I run (mostly-online) businesses that provides a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I can work around your pet’s usual routine to keep them feeling safe and comfortable. Whether it’s morning feedings, mid-day playtime, or evening snuggles, I am adaptable and reliable. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your animals and your space with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent, whether that’s feeding, medications, walks, or playtime. Safety is always my top priority - I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health. I want you to feel complete peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, happy, and loved, and your home is cared for just as you left it.

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, along with professional experience working in veterinary clinics. I’m currently studying to become a Veterinary Technician, which has given me strong skills in handling pets safely, administering medications, and recognizing signs of illness or discomfort. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and anxious or reactive dogs. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, and treat them like my own. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away 🐾 I work at a veterinary clinic three days a week, which gives me great hands-on experience, and I have a flexible schedule outside of that to ensure your pets get the time, attention, and care they deserve. I take every precaution to ensure your animals are in a safe, secure environment. From understanding their specific needs and behaviors to creating a hazard-free space, I make sure they are comfortable and protected. I use proper equipment, supervise interactions, and maintain open communication to keep you informed about your pet’s well-being at all times. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority.

About: I have been a dog owner since the time I was born. My dogs have always been my dear friends, some who have needed a lot of care and special attention.

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 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.

About: I am a lover of all dogs, have plenty experience dog sitting for friends and family. I am thinking about getting a dog of my own so I thought this was a great place to start and help out those in need. I find most I spend a lot of my time in the city pointing out cute pups and when I discovered this app and thought it would be a great way to combine my love for walking and dogs. I like to walk along the Harbourfront so having a little companion would make it more fun! I am available for dog walks, dog boarding and home visits. I work 4 days a week in an office and one day from home so I would be available to dog sit during a weekday at least once a week. Dogs are family and I would give the best care and love they deserve!

About: I have had a dog of my own for 12 years, before owning my dog I pet sat multiple animals from a young age through family and friends. I have been pet sitting through Rover since November 2018, I have watched a variety of breeds and ages with different personalities through doggy day care, at home boarding, house visits, and the occasional dog walk. Responsible for walking, feeding, potty breaks, providing medications if needed and depending on the age - maintaining the training plan.. and of course giving them all of the attention they need! I have a full time job where I work 8:30am to 5pm Monday through Friday, my early morning and evening would be dedicated to pet care. I typically like to visit the home before hand to be shown everything necessary to care for your animal in the way that they will be most comfortable with me being in their home, and to ensure their routine remains relatively the same as what they are used to. I like to provide clients with frequent updates with pictures and videos.
