“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!”
“Could not be happier with the service provided. Our boy Gus has been back three times now. This last time for 11 days while we were away on holidays. They updated us often with pictures. Gus being a very rambunctious 14 month old lab is notoriously bad on a leash. After his prolonged stay he was noticeably better on his leash and continues to be. Would recommend for sure.”
“Geo and Amanda are absolute gems of dog sitters. They took in both of my dogs just as their own and updated me thoroughly throughout each day. Their home was so beautiful and such a comfy safe space for my dogs to run and rest. They were absolutely so kind and made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were in safe hands!”
“Dale did a great job caring for our dog and keeping us updated during her stay. During the meet and greet, Ziggy took to Dale and when we came back to drop her off, Ziggy immediately responded to her like an old friend. When we picked her up, Ziggy appeared happy and settled. We would definitely choose Dale to look after Ziggy again.”
“Second time leo has went over and they have made him feel right at home! What a amazing and wonderful experience it is to have a family that cares so much for your dog like its their own family! Thank you so much! Highly recommended!”
“Viktoriia was amazing! She took care of our pet as if he was her own. She gave us constant updates of him, communicating everything in a timely manner. We definitely will select her in future trips, we loved her kindness so much!”
“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.”
“Amanda was super friendly and our pups seemed super happy after staying with her for a few days. She sent us photos of our dogs while being away which was super nice considering we were uneasy about leaving them with someone random!”
“Laura was professional, warm and a great communicator. Lots of great photos of our happy pup and even a video. She is a short drive from Toronto and Lupe loved the large comfortable space. We will definitely come back again. Thank you, Laura and Family!”
“Heather and her husband and kids are SUPER nice, prompt and passionate about animals.. They took my girl Mea, VERY last minute and loved and cared for her for 24 hrs. She seemed very comfortable with the Heather and her family. Awesome awesome family and animal lovers. I'd give 10 stars if I could...”
“Jillian was amazing, lots of updates and pictures which made us feel at ease while away. Bobby and Lloyd were happy and relaxed when I picked them up. Def. Would recommend Jillian and I would leave Bobby and Lloyld with her again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Cindy made us feel very comfortable with leaving our girl with her. This was our first time using Rover and I’m so happy we picked Cindy. She has excellent communication skills and made sure to send pictures throughout Maple’s stay. We will absolutely take Maple back to Cindy’s next time we are going away.”
“Minnie had a wonderful stay with Michelle and her family. We loved the communication of updates and photos Michelle sent us daily. Truly appreciate the TLC our girl received while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Michelle again. Thanks Michelle!”
“Hanna was so welcoming and accommodating with Theo and myself and I highly recommend her to watch anyone that needs a pet sitter within the Barrie and surrounding area ! She has a fenced in yard and send a lots of updates throughout the day and evening to put your mind at ease that your pet is well taken care of at all time , 10/10 would recommend and book again :)”

“Had another amazing experience with Kelsey. She was so attentive to my boy Higgins, providing the best care as he takes daily medications. Highly recommended and will continue to be a repeat customer.”
“Danielle was wonderful with our two cats! One of our cats takes daily medications, and she was gentle and persistent :) to make sure he got all of his meds. Her compassion for animals is evident, and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again.”
“We cannot recommend Tanya enough! She has looked after our three cats several times, including once for an extended vacation, and every time we’ve been thrilled with her care. Tanya is attentive, thorough, and genuinely caring. She takes the time to play with them, brush them, and check on their well-being. She keeps everything clean and organized, and it’s obvious she loves what she does. Coming home after our last trip, our boys were relaxed and calm, something that has never happened after a longer time away. We know Tanya does everything she can to make them feel comfortable while we’re gone, and it gives us total peace of mind knowing they’re in such capable hands. They’ve even been waiting for her at the door since we returned, they absolutely adore her! Tanya is, without a doubt, the best cat sitter we’ve ever had.”
“This was our second time having Sara take care of our cat and we couldn't be happier. She is amazing with our cat and very respectful to our home. The peace of mind we had knowing someone like Sara was there when we couldn't be was priceless, thank you so much again!”
About: I have been a cat mom for almost 7 years, recently adopted a new fur baby so now a dog and cat mom. They both fight like siblings but love each other very much. I love all animals and how they explore life differently. 🐾💕 Working a full time job I always make time for my fur babies. Even taking a lunch break just to go see them and check on them I have a fenced In yard, and energetic dog and a chill cat to fit every animal preference. My dog is also crate trained if this is too much energy for your pup
About: I currently have 5 cats that I adore and spoil. I have a lot of experience in taking care of cats from feeding, cleaning litterboxes, play time and even administering medications. I treat all furbabies like they are my children.
About: I can feed, play, clean up and administer medication for cats of any age. I’ve wanted a cat for many years but haven’t been able to have by own. I help family, friends and neighbours with their cats when they need help.
“Natalie was Great! She was super responsive to our messages before and during pet sitting. Sent us great updates and the cutest pet news flash at the end to sum up Chief's time! SO CUTE!! Also, she is the only person who has managed to break through Chief's skeptical exterior, and he seemed to really like her! She's definitely got a magic about her! Thank you again Natalie!”
About: I’ve been a dog/cat owner all my life and love to walk! I have experience with many breeds and would love to meet your pet! I’m able to walk multiple dogs at once and would love to help care for your furry friend. I’ll care about your pet as much as I care about mine! I’m currently semi-retired and available Monday to Friday at any time. I walk my own Doodle daily and can accommodate most scheduling needs. Reach out to discuss your needs. When visiting your home for drop ins or dog walking pick up, your house will be treated with the utmost respect. You can trust that I’ll look after your pets and give them the care and attention they deserve.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and kittens for about 4 years now. I currently do not own a cat but I have in the past. I have also raised a momma cat and her kittens so I do have experience in kitten care as well. I love how spunky cats can be and how independent they are as well. I never mind the duties of cleaning out the litter box, and I am up to any task at hand. I hope to have the opportunity to befriend your cat and care for them.
About: I am privileged to have been able to care for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. This includes energetic kittens, senior cats, confident social butterflies, and shy or “spicy” cats who need a little extra patience and understanding. My experience comes from nearly a decade with my own shy and "spicy" cat, Mink, as well as my role as a Team Lead at a compassionate no-kill cat shelter in Barrie, ON. I rescued Mink at just 8 weeks old from a home where she was unfortunately bullied by other animals. As my first-ever cat, she really threw me into the deep end! I am forever grateful to have learned off the bat from her the importance of patience, boundaries, and trust-building with cats. Despite Mink now thriving as a spoiled only child, I still felt I had more love to give, which brought me to my work at the shelter. Through my role as a Team Lead there, I’ve been so very lucky to work hands-on with hundreds of cats, especially during what can be one of the most stressful times in their lives. I've bonded with playful kittens learning socialization, senior cats needing gentler care and extra comfort, overweight cats on monitored feeding routines, nervous cats who prefer space and quiet companionship, and outgoing cats who want all the attention they can get. My approach is based on patience and understanding, and is always customized to each individual cat’s personality and needs. Whether your cat needs playtime, medication, patience, routine, a little extra help grooming, or simply a calm and reliable presence while you’re away, I will care for them in the way that keeps them most comfortable and happy until you're home. I create my own schedule, so I am quite flexible and happy to work together to find a routine that works for you and your cat! Littering, feeding, playing, grooming, cleaning, cuddling, loving! I am also able to pill and crate the trickiest of kitties - Mink and the shelter cats have taught me well. Photos will always be included while you're away. I know first-hand how much of a comfort they can be when you're missing them! Overnight housesitting also an option.
About: I have owned a dog my entire life and would love to help out with yours! I understand the stress of being posted and needing someone to help out once in a while-especially while you get settled into a new job/home. There are also lots of other occasions you may need some help. Need a date night out and don't want to worry about your pet needing a hygiene break? Let me know! Away for the whole day and puppers needs a walk or two? Give me a shout! Does your pet need scheduled medication? I can help with that too! I have been there and that is why I am offering services. I am currently working full time on base. I am available for walks before 8:00am and after 3:30pm Monday to Friday and on weekends. I am also available for drop-in visits before and after work as well as during lunch hours and on weekends. For dog walks, only one client will be booked at a time and up to 2 dogs maximum. In other words, you can rest assured that your pets will have my full attention!

“We had our daughter’s first birthday, and with many people coming to the house… we didn’t want to over stimulate Marner so looked into doggy care and found Jess. She was immediately personable, and made me feel like she was a great match for our doggo. Jess took absolute amazing care of our pup.

About: Hi! I’m Michelle, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Henry. I know firsthand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and quirks, and I believe they deserve patient, individualized care that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for both small and giant breeds. In addition to raising Henry, I’ve cared for friends’ Newfoundland dogs on several occasions, staying in their home for multiple days while managing feeding schedules, walks, exercise, companionship, and their daily routines. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and understand that older pets often require extra patience, consistency, and gentle handling I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care, so I’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages to help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dog

“Danielle is an incredibly caring and attentive care provider. We’ve enjoyed having her stop in daily for walks.

“We had a great experience with Ethan! He was very friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. Finlee (our Staffy mix) absolutely loved him — I haven’t seen her smile that big in a while. She was always so excited to see him, and he did a great job getting her nice and tired. He really takes the time to understand her personality and needs, which makes us feel safe and confident leaving her in his care. We’re definitely looking forward to booking more walks and dog sitting with him! We would recommend Ethan to anyone looking for services. Thank you again Ethan!”
“Maverick had a wonderful time with Sara. He looked forward to seeing her everyday! Maverick is quite a strong boy and is still young, Sara was absolutely amazing with him. Thank you!”

“Ashley has found her calling in pet care. She left descriptive updates of each dog walk, gave treats and even tossed a ball to my senior dog. She spent extra time on visits so they could walk in the park and take breaks in the shade on hot days. A wonderful first-time experience with Ashley and Rover.com.”

About: I grew up raising dogs from puppies to senior dogs, volunteering in shelters and have spent my life reading their body language, energy and needs. I specialize in calm, structured walks that help dogs feel safe, confident and balanced-especially those who struggle with anxiety or over stimulation. I don't rush, overwhelm, or force; I lead with patience, consistency, and quiet confidence so a dog can relax and trust the walk. I also have deep experience caring for senior dogs. I recently said good bye to our family Weimaraner Lexi, who taught me the importance of gentleness, awareness and dignity in every stage of a dog's life. Whether your dog needs confidence building, a steady routine, or thoughtful care tailored to their age and temperament, I treat every dog as an individual-never just another booking. Right now, I'm primarily available on weekends, with some flexibility for weekday evening walks or drop-ins. I'm intentional about my schedule so every visit stays calm, unrushed, and consistent-especially important for anxious dog who rely on routine. My availability will be expanding in the near future as I transition towards pet care as a primary focus. This means increased weekday flexibility and priority scheduling for repeat clients who value long-term consistency. I'll always be clear and upfront about availability before confirming a booking, so there are no surprises-for you or your dog. My home is calm, structured, and safety-focused. Dogs are cared for with clear routines, close supervision, and attention to body language and stress levels. I prioritize consistency so dogs feel secure and know what to expect. This is the same standard I follow with my own Doberman, who receives structured daily walks, routine feedings, constant access to fresh water, and regular training, trust-building exercises, and enrichment puzzles. I keep the environment clean, low-stress, and intentional, so dogs can relax and feel confident while in my care.
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.

I love all animals and how they explore life differently. 🐾💕 Working a full time job I always make time for my fur babies. Even taking a lunch break just to go see them and check on them I have a fenced In yard, and energetic dog and a chill cat to fit every animal preference. My dog is also crate trained if this is too much energy for your pup
About: I have had dogs my entire life, I cannot imagine not having one! From small chihuahua to large Doberman I have experience with all kinds! I’d love to meet your pet and go for walks, house visits I work from home 3 days per week and am available weekends for walks/visits. I’m in Angus and would love to meet more local pups! Always use proper leash, harness and instructions from owners! Each dog has their own set of needs and requirements and I will always do my best to make sure they are safe
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Donna! I know leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is simple: to make them feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. I’m home full-time, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I treat every dog like part of the family and do my best to follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighbourhood with beautiful walking trails, parks, and green space nearby. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, so your dog receives lots of one-on-one attention in a calm, family environment. Dogs are welcome to relax on the couch, sleep on their own bed, or use a crate if that’s what they’re most comfortable with. 👨👩👧👦 A Family Home My home includes young children (ages 1–6), so I’m best suited for dogs who are friendly around kids. My kids have grown up around animals and are taught to respect their space. ❤️ Experience With • Puppies • Senior dogs • High-energy dogs • Anxious dogs • Small, medium, and large breeds I follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! 💛🐾 I build my schedule around the pets in my care. I am home all the time and I stick to whatever the pet needs in my care. I focus on creating a safe and family style environment where they can feel comfortable. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. When visiting clients home, I ensure a follow instructions provided by the client. Providing the utmost care for those times where you can’t be there.
“We love having Amanda walk our boxer puppy! She even takes cute pics and tries new routes! I most thankful that Amanda is attentive to our doggo and makes sure that she has water breaks during her outings!”

“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!”
“Could not be happier with the service provided. Our boy Gus has been back three times now. This last time for 11 days while we were away on holidays. They updated us often with pictures. Gus being a very rambunctious 14 month old lab is notoriously bad on a leash. After his prolonged stay he was noticeably better on his leash and continues to be. Would recommend for sure.”
“Geo and Amanda are absolute gems of dog sitters. They took in both of my dogs just as their own and updated me thoroughly throughout each day. Their home was so beautiful and such a comfy safe space for my dogs to run and rest. They were absolutely so kind and made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were in safe hands!”
“Dale did a great job caring for our dog and keeping us updated during her stay. During the meet and greet, Ziggy took to Dale and when we came back to drop her off, Ziggy immediately responded to her like an old friend. When we picked her up, Ziggy appeared happy and settled. We would definitely choose Dale to look after Ziggy again.”
“Amanda was super friendly and our pups seemed super happy after staying with her for a few days. She sent us photos of our dogs while being away which was super nice considering we were uneasy about leaving them with someone random!”
“Heather and her husband and kids are SUPER nice, prompt and passionate about animals.. They took my girl Mea, VERY last minute and loved and cared for her for 24 hrs. She seemed very comfortable with the Heather and her family. Awesome awesome family and animal lovers. I'd give 10 stars if I could...”
“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!”
“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.”
“Hanna was so welcoming and accommodating with Theo and myself and I highly recommend her to watch anyone that needs a pet sitter within the Barrie and surrounding area ! She has a fenced in yard and send a lots of updates throughout the day and evening to put your mind at ease that your pet is well taken care of at all time , 10/10 would recommend and book again :)”
“Debra was such a great sitter. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone and she was very caring and considerate to us and our dog. She kept us updated so we never had to wonder or worry on our trip.”
“Dianne and her family were amazing! My dog Bentley immediately felt comfortable with Dianne, I highly recommend her if you are looking for a loving and caring home for your pet! She updated me with lots of photos and videos of my baby during his stay. Will use her again! Thank you 😊”
About: Hi! I’m Michelle, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Henry. I know firsthand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and quirks, and I believe they deserve patient, individualized care that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for both small and giant breeds. In addition to raising Henry, I’ve cared for friends’ Newfoundland dogs on several occasions, staying in their home for multiple days while managing feeding schedules, walks, exercise, companionship, and their daily routines. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and understand that older pets often require extra patience, consistency, and gentle handling I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care, so I’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages to help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dog
“Our dogs had a wonderful stay with Donna and her family! Both Gus and Winnie are senior dogs (14 and 13) who have been going to the same kennel for 10 years. When our kennel had to cancel last minute we were at a loss as we had a 3 week trip coming up -over the Easter holiday - and no one to watch the dogs. This was our first Rover experience and I’m so glad it worked out! Gus and Winnie have never stayed with anyone else so we were really nervous. Donna was so great at making both dogs comfortable and communicating with us while we were away. Gus had some issues early on (we think due to stress) and Donna went out of her way to adjust her schedule and his surroundings so that he was comfortable. Winnie is your typical snuggly Pug and I could tell she was right at home by the photos sent of her snuggling on the couch and hanging out with Donna’s children. Would definitely recommend Donna - thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years. Friends, neighbours, and family have trusted me with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love to their pets. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and shy animals who need extra patience. I also have my own 11-month-old Ragdoll who is gentle, calm, and fully fixed. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work from home all week and have plenty of time to give your pet attention and playtime.m. I keep a calm, consistent environment so your pets feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I offer a clean, safe, quiet home where pets can relax. My 11-month-old Ragdoll is friendly, fully vaccinated, and fixed. I do slow, safe introductions and can also keep visiting pets in their own separate space if needed. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, keep feeding/litter areas clean, and always prioritize safety, comfort, and lots of affection.
“Thank you for taking care of Bagheera over the weekend! You reaching out to ask questions and sharing the amazing pictures and how he behaved showed that you cared and wanted to provide the right care for my fur baby. Appreciate it!”
“What an amazing experience with Vidya! Took such great care of our pup. Sent us picture and video updates of our boy the entire time we were away. Would highly recomend!”
“Don’t think there’s another person who should watch your pup if you’re anywhere near her area. She was amazing and lovely and personable. It’s obvious she loves animals and was wonderful with our Mylee too, who probably followed her around all day and stood at her feet until she got belly rubs and cuddles. lol She sent updates and pics and organized my dog bag better than I ever have when we arrived for PU… and washed all of Mylee’s blankets too!! Like damn! We picked up a very happy pup today. Thank you so much Kim. 💚”
“Tara and her family provided a fun, loving, safe and reassuring stay for our Winter! We will absolutely request them to pet sit for us again and would recommend them for your furry friends care-giver in your absence!!!!”
