“Aditya and Ipshita were great with my dog. They were very professional and kept be updated on his day of fun with them. They truly do love dogs and that is shown in the care they take to make sure they are well taken cared of.”
“This was the first time I used Rover and how lucky were we that Dale was our first caregiver for our boys! As little yorkiepoos, they can be a little high strung, and I was expecting bouncing springs when I picked them up..but they were so calm and transitioned beautifully. Thank you Dale!! You took amazing care of Micky and Redford. faith”
“What can I say about Geo & Amanda? A wo perfume place to have your pet (s) stay. They are so easy going and accommodating. They relieved any stress I could have had about leaving my pups while I was off getting married. Lots of communication and pictures sent to add to my comfort. What a great pair and what agreat team to take care of the pups. Thank you both!”
“Shannon was great with Aries. He was happy and got updates daily on how he was settling in and enjoying his time with Lola. So glad we could enjoy our week away knowing he was being loved and cared for so well.”
“Marc & Alysia (and family) are fantastic! They treated my pup like their own and he had an amazing day. They managed to tire out my 7 m/o Aussie (which is a challenge) and he returned happy and calm. Highly recommended!!!”
“I left my cat Furio with Natalia while I was away on vacation — and it was absolutely wonderful. From the very first day, I could see how comfortable and happy he was: eating well, playing, relaxed, and not afraid at all. Natalia sent me daily photos and videos, showing how he was doing, and that meant the world to me. It was clear that she treated Furio with genuine love and care, as if he were her own. I was able to enjoy my time away without worry, knowing he was in safe and caring hands. Natalia has a big heart and a true gift when it comes to animals. I'm so grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter. 💛”
“We left our 2 dogs with Sheila for one night as a trial before we leave them for a week in September. We could not be happier! She took care of them like her own, which is all we wanted when searching for someone to watch our babies. They were walked, fed (even though our younger dog does not eat when anxious/scared, Sheila tried her best and even made her boiled eggs to try to get her to eat!), and well rested. We are looking forward to their stay in September and are very confident they will enjoy their time with her. Thank you Sheila!”
“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!”
“Lynee was great with Eevee! She was attentive and patient. Eevee had an awesome time and even went home with a homemade bandana. For sure recommend Lynne; we know we’ll be using her service next time!”
“Our dog was well taken care of and we received regular updates. She got plenty of exercise, interaction with other dogs, and all directions were followed. We would definitely rebook with Vidya & Ratnam in the future.”
“I currently have a consistent dog sitter in Brampton, which is quite a far drive from Barrie. Unfortunately she was unavailable to watch my dog for a last minute trip. I signed up for Rover and looked through many profiles and Amanda’s seemed like the best fit. My dog had a quick meet and greet before my trip which went great. He didn’t want to leave. Fast forward to the dog sitting- Amanda watched him for 5 days. She sent over messages along with photos daily, which I really appreciated! I could tell my dog was having the best time. I will definitely be booking Amanda again! Very happy!”
“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. 💚”
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.
“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!”
“Sue and Brian were awesome with audio! They kept him active and gave lots of updates throughout his stay. They were friendly and easygoing and I felt very comfortable leaving Audio with them. Would highly recommend their services and I’ll be using them again, forsure!”
“Michelle and her family are excellent. We had a wonderful vacation knowing our dog Socks was with a great family and we got regular updates and photos. Michelle was extremely accommodating with an extra day I needed to use as our flights got back later than anticipated”
“If you need a pet sitter who will actually spoil your dog with love, Hanna is the one! They watched my baby for two days and provided the highest level of care. You can tell they aren't just doing this as a job -they genuinely love dogs. My pup was well-exercised, loved on, and perfectly cared for. So thankful I found them!”
About: Hi! I’m a compassionate and reliable pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs. My background includes looking after a young small dog while providing care for a senior citizen, which involved daily walks, feeding, bathing, and keeping the space clean by managing pee pads. Most recently, I worked as an in-home dog caregiver for two medium-sized dogs ages 1 and 3 . I was responsible for walking them multiple times a day, maintaining their feeding schedule, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and ensuring the home stayed safe and secure while the owners were on vacation. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and loving care—whether that means going on long walks, sticking to a feeding routine, or simply keeping pets company while their humans are away. Your pets will be treated like family with me! I’m available for dog walks 4–7 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m also able to provide extended in-home care when needed. I offer a safe, comfortable home for small to medium dogs, with parks nearby for walks. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and can walk your dog in your neighborhood to keep things familiar.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I love getting outside for walks, playing, exploring, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, from playful and adventurous pups to those who prefer a slower stroll and lots of cuddles. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel happy, loved, and safe. Working shift work, my schedule varies from week to week—but that also gives me flexibility on my days off! I keep my Rover calendar updated with my current availability and am happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs. I’m especially happy to accommodate walks and drop-in visits when I’m off work. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously! I’ll treat your pup like family, while making sure they’re safe, comfortable, supervised, and having a great time. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and just as I found them. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident that your pet is in caring, dependable hands while you’re away. 🐾❤️
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.
“Erika did a wonderful job caring for my cat over the last 10 days while I was away. I was pleased to hear he got along well hanging out with her two cats. Manny definitely got spoiled rotten going by his very happy attitude, and super soft fur, he was getting all the pets XD so if you're reading this review I would definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
About: I love all animals and will care for your pet as if they were my own. I am have a vet assistant college certificate and worked at a veterinarian emergency clinic. I have owned many pets over the years including, cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, crabs, shrimp, fish, a gecko, and a horse. I have my own pet sitting buisness for over 10 years. I also volunteered at Furry Friends Cat shelter for a number of years as well. I am available to petsit between my college classes that I'm currently taking. I have lots of availability to do pet sitting. I prefer doing pet sits for small/exotic animals as I have lots of experience with them and they don't typically need a specific time for a drop in. I do not care for pets in my own home due to the many pets I currently have already of my own. I offer pet sitting in your home. I can let dogs out for bathroom breaks, take them for walks, make sure all fur babies have fresh water and are fed. Change litter boxes and give lots of love and attention to your fur baby while your away.
“Lauren was very attentive to my cats needs and boundaries. Her updates provided great information about how things were going and the photos and videos were great to see and know that my fur babies were having a good time with another human. I would definitely book with Lauren again!”
“Maria is fantastic! Her love and care for our pet matches none other and that's why we always reach out to her first whenever we need a cat sitter. Thoughtful updates, wonderful pictures, and just such a vibrant person to talk with. Thanks once again, Maria!”
About: I am an animal enthusiast who has always been attuned to the needs of animals. I have experience with mainly cats and dogs but honestly love all creatures. I have so much care that I would love to share and feel like helping others care for their animals would be a great way to spend my time. I am open to almost all schedules at this time. Reach out to me and we will figure out if I'm the right sitter for your pet. My dog is always leashed outside and I take her on multiple walks a day. I do have a fenced backyard as well. She is friendly with other dogs while boarding so I would not have any concerns. But if needed I do have the space to keep your pet separate/crated.
About: I love cats and have had the great good fortune to have shared my home with many amazing kitties over the years. Some were barn cats who charmed their way into the house when I was a kid and the rest found me as if by magic. One minute they weren't there and, the next, they were a well-loved member of the family! I love a lap cat, a chatty cat, a playful cat and I definitely have a special place in my heart for those little friends who take a bit more time to share their personality. I know they all have their unique preferences so am happy to tailor their care in whatever way makes them feel safe & comfortable.

About: Hello there! I’m a fun, easygoing, and friendly animal lover who can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! Providing pet care has become one of my greatest joys. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m able to devote my time, love, and attention to caring for yours as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight companionship, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs, but I truly enjoy caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Every pet receives patient, attentive care tailored to their individual needs. I also believe it’s the little things that make a difference. I’ll happily keep up with brushing, wipe muddy paws after walks, and help with basic home care while you’re away—including watering your plant babies, so don’t forget to introduce me during our meet-and-greet! My approach to dogs is inspired by Cesar Millan’s philosophy of calm, confident leadership, while always respecting each dog’s unique personality and routine. My calendar is kept up to date, so if you see availability, I’d love to hear from you! If you have any questions or would like to arrange a meet-and-greet, feel free to send me a message. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I make my clients a priority. When you've booked with me, you can be sure that nothing else is planned for my day other than taking care your pets. I absolutely love caring for pets in the comfort of their own homes! It really helps them feel relaxed, safe and happy in their own space. You can trust that I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care. Many clients have welcomed me into their homes while they were away, and I ensure you’ll feel safe and comfortable with me too. I always take my time to get to know new spaces, during meet and greets, and I go over a mental checklist of questions to make sure I have everything covered. If anything comes up, I won’t hesitate to bring it up or send you a message. I will need to get a detailed picture of a “day in the life” of your pets so I can stick closely to their routine. So a write up of your pet’s routine and needs would be very handy. Your security is super important to me, so I’ll keep all your details private and ensure no one comes to your home without prior discussion—except, of course, for the occasional food delivery! 😄
“I am very happy with Lauren who has been helping care for our dog for extra walks for a couple of months so far.

About: I began taking care of dogs at 12 years old, starting with my first puppy. I have participated in various puppy classes to support my family dogs as a child, and now as an adult I continue to take part in this learning. I am enrolled with my newest pup now to support his learning, and mine! In my experience over the years with dogs, I have built confidence in taking care of the spectrum of ages from puppies and senior dogs. I am happy to move at a faster pace with more intensive play or stroll along - whatever the pup/dog needs - I am there to meet their needs. I have flexibility in my schedule to support your dogs needs. Communication is important to me, so should my schedule shift my availability will be updated to ensure you are updated. Additionally, if I make a commitment you and your furry friend, you can be assured that this commitment is a priority to me! It is important that I hear from you about what your dog needs. I am happy to spend time in your backyard letting your pup sniff around or play fetch. I also am keen to get your dog out of the house and moving to walk on routes they are comfortable with or explore new spaces.
About: I have been working with animals since I was 14, I started as a kennel attendant in a veterinary clinic setting and have volunteered with many rescues and animal shelters since.

I have experience with training and loose leash walking, as well as a variety of training tools like slip, leads, E collar, prong collar, harnesses, halties. etc. I am happy to tailor each dogs walk or drop in visit to their specific needs. I work a full-time hybrid job and my schedule changes week to week but I would be happy to communicate each week to figure out a schedule that works best for the dog. I have many years experience, taking care of clients dogs in their homes and will always leave your home as I found it, or even better.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through overnight stays, drop-in visits and dog walking. I’ve cared for pets with many different personalities, from energetic and playful to shy, nervous and anxious. I’m patient and take the time to let each pet become comfortable with me at their own pace. I follow their regular routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime and lots of love and attention. I especially love seeing a shy/anxious pet begin to trust me and become my little shadow. Building relationships with pets and having families trust me to care for them again is one of my favourite parts of pet sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a kindergarten educator, I’m available for morning visits before work, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays during the school year. During the summer, I have much greater flexibility and am available throughout the day, allowing me to accommodate a wider range of schedules and your pet’s routine. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and loving care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where they can maintain their familiar routine and surroundings. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so I can provide calm, personalized care tailored to them. Before any booking, I offer a free Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and ensure we’re the right fit for one another. I also ask all pet parents to complete a detailed intake form, which helps me learn about your pet’s routine, medical needs, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible. For dog walking clients, I also like to do a short practice walk so your dog can get comfortable with me before our first scheduled walk. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I love getting outside for walks, playing, exploring, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, from playful and adventurous pups to those who prefer a slower stroll and lots of cuddles. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel happy, loved, and safe. Working shift work, my schedule varies from week to week—but that also gives me flexibility on my days off! I keep my Rover calendar updated with my current availability and am happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs. I’m especially happy to accommodate walks and drop-in visits when I’m off work. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously! I’ll treat your pup like family, while making sure they’re safe, comfortable, supervised, and having a great time. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and just as I found them. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident that your pet is in caring, dependable hands while you’re away. 🐾❤️

“Aditya and Ipshita were great with my dog. They were very professional and kept be updated on his day of fun with them. They truly do love dogs and that is shown in the care they take to make sure they are well taken cared of.”
“This was the first time I used Rover and how lucky were we that Dale was our first caregiver for our boys! As little yorkiepoos, they can be a little high strung, and I was expecting bouncing springs when I picked them up..but they were so calm and transitioned beautifully. Thank you Dale!! You took amazing care of Micky and Redford. faith”
“What can I say about Geo & Amanda? A wo perfume place to have your pet (s) stay. They are so easy going and accommodating. They relieved any stress I could have had about leaving my pups while I was off getting married. Lots of communication and pictures sent to add to my comfort. What a great pair and what agreat team to take care of the pups. Thank you both!”
“We left our 2 dogs with Sheila for one night as a trial before we leave them for a week in September. We could not be happier! She took care of them like her own, which is all we wanted when searching for someone to watch our babies. They were walked, fed (even though our younger dog does not eat when anxious/scared, Sheila tried her best and even made her boiled eggs to try to get her to eat!), and well rested. We are looking forward to their stay in September and are very confident they will enjoy their time with her. Thank you Sheila!”
“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!”
“Lynee was great with Eevee! She was attentive and patient. Eevee had an awesome time and even went home with a homemade bandana. For sure recommend Lynne; we know we’ll be using her service next time!”
“Our dog was well taken care of and we received regular updates. She got plenty of exercise, interaction with other dogs, and all directions were followed. We would definitely rebook with Vidya & Ratnam in the future.”
“I currently have a consistent dog sitter in Brampton, which is quite a far drive from Barrie. Unfortunately she was unavailable to watch my dog for a last minute trip. I signed up for Rover and looked through many profiles and Amanda’s seemed like the best fit. My dog had a quick meet and greet before my trip which went great. He didn’t want to leave. Fast forward to the dog sitting- Amanda watched him for 5 days. She sent over messages along with photos daily, which I really appreciated! I could tell my dog was having the best time. I will definitely be booking Amanda again! Very happy!”
“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. 💚”
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.

“If you need a pet sitter who will actually spoil your dog with love, Hanna is the one! They watched my baby for two days and provided the highest level of care. You can tell they aren't just doing this as a job -they genuinely love dogs. My pup was well-exercised, loved on, and perfectly cared for. So thankful I found them!”
“Lilly’s stay with Dominica was great. She took the time to keep in touch and sent pictures. This was our first time leaving our dog Lilly with someone else. Dominica made both the drop off and pick up seamlessly and she shared tidbits about Lilly’s experience when out walking and interacting with people and other dogs and playing in the backyard. I would most definitely recommend Dominica To be a sitter for your family pets.”
“Erika did a wonderful job caring for my cat over the last 10 days while I was away. I was pleased to hear he got along well hanging out with her two cats. Manny definitely got spoiled rotten going by his very happy attitude, and super soft fur, he was getting all the pets XD so if you're reading this review I would definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Luna was well cared for. Taken on many walks and enjoyed tug of war games daily. Nicholas provided daily updates and pictures of Luna’s experiences. I definitely would use Nicholas’ services again and highly recommend him to others seeking peace of mind while you’re away.”

Morgan was also very communitive with me and responsive when I had a question. I will definitely rebook with Morgan and would highly recommend anyone else to use her as well”
