“Girlie had an excellent stay with Siobhan & Marc. She was so well cared for in a beautiful home & yard in the country and we were kept informed everyday of her stay along with pictures. She had the companionship of the resident dog, Elvis as well as Ginger another little dog staying there. Our minds were at ease which made our short trip away “worry free”. Thank you so much Siobhan & Marc.”
“Tracy & Tim were wonderful! Leo had a fantastic time playing with their family and pup, and he was worn out and ready for a nap when he got home! We got lots of cute pictures and updates, which we always love. Highly recommend and will definitely use them as pet sitters again 😊”
“Wayne provided excellent pet care, Shadow was happy to see us but not stressed like when we got him from a kennel. I received photo and updates during my time away, Shadow had great walks and even went shopping at Home Depot. I will definitely have Wayne watch Shadow again.”
“Andrea was amazing from the start. My boy, Humphrey, was stressed and a little clingy and she handled him beautifully. He was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Would use again, and will!”
“Jane was fantastic with our Rosie! She gave regular updates with pictures, and was great with making Rosie feel comfortable in her home. Rosie also had plenty of outdoor time to get her exercise and fresh air. We would not hesitate to book Jane again when we are back in Muskoka!”
“Jonathan and his wife were wonderful with Lily. He sent lots of updates with pictures during her visit. She was very relaxed, calm and well cared for. I highly recommend their service.”
“Rhiannon and Patrick are exactly what we have been looking for. We have 2 Bouviers that need room to roam and people to love and they have found them. With 100 acres and endless trails Sadie and Koda came home happy and tired😀 We will definitely be booking with Rhiannon again.”
About: I've always had my own animals since I was a kid. I would look after my own cats when I was old enough to do so. Then as I got older I would look after neighbors pets while also looking after their children. I had my own golden retriever who I looked after for 10 years until she passed away last year from cancer. At the end of her life I had to administer medication every day. I am currently working full time as a courier so I am only available on the weekends to start. Beginning in June, I will be working a night shift which will allow me to be available during the day Monday-Friday. But don't worry, your pet won't be alone because while I'm working my husband will be home, and when he's working I will be home. I have a fully fenced in backyard for your dogs to stay safe and have fun off leash. We have a bungalow style home which is great for dogs that struggle with stairs. They can sleep on a dog bed on the floor or we have a crate if that's what they are used to. They will get lots of love, playtime, and treats (if allowed). I will keep you updated with pictures and videos of your fur baby while they are in my care.
“Our pup had SUCH a great time with Dakota. She was excellent at keeping us up to date with progress and pictures. We were so at ease and grateful for the wonderful, loving care she received. Looking forward to her next stay!”
“Valerie did an amazing job watching our miniature dachshund Ruby over the weekend while my husband and I got married in MacTier! She has a lovely home in a beautiful location and did her very best to make Ruby comfortable and give her lots of attention and cuddles. Would highly recommend her for dogs with separation anxiety!”
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with a passion for giving dogs a safe, loving, and cozy home away from home. I live on 2 beautiful acres with a dedicated space just for dog play, exploring, and enjoying the outdoors. Whether your pup loves to run, play, relax, or soak up attention, I make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family. I truly adore spending time with animals and caring for their well-being. Every dog deserves patience, affection, and personalized care, and I love creating a calm, happy environment where they can feel safe and loved while you’re away. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and attention are always included! 🐾 I am currently working Monday to Friday between 8am to 4pm. I am home on weekends enjoying the outdoors with my family. I am open to care on weekends or weekday evenings. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I live on 2 acres with a dedicated fenced area for safe outdoor play, exercise, and exploring while always being supervised. Inside the home, I focus on creating a cozy and low-stress atmosphere with plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and rest.
“We left our dog Polo in very good hands. Sabine loves dogs and Polo warmed up to her immediately. Her attention to Polo’s personality made us feel comfortable leaving him with her. Polo had wonderful daily walks and enjoyed her home made dog treats. We definitely would like to use Sabine again!”
About: A loving safe space awaits for your furry friend. I have owned dogs/cats/rabbits/chickens/horses for the past 30 years. Currently I have 2 working dogs and a very spoilt terrier who thinks she’s one of the children. The working dogs have been trained since puppies and we rescued the terrier at the age of 2. I currently check in and look after my mums cat in a daily basis and helped care for my mums elderly cat including giving medication. We also have chickens and rabbits so very experienced providing care for them too. I currently work part time and can take dogs to work with me or they are very safe at home lounging on the sofa with the radio on for comfort. I have a fenced large garden and 3 dogs to keep your dog company. I have a little terrier who has the run of the house and 2 working dogs who have kennels. I am more than happy to provide a crate in the house if they will feel more comfortable in the house in a crate.
“Ruby had a fantastic stay with Danielle over the weekend; she didn’t even want to leave when we got there to pick her up! Danielle took amazing care of Ruby and instantly made her feel right at home. She gave her lots of attention and affection and lots of photo updates. She truly is the dachshund whisperer! I would definitely recommend her for dogs with separation anxiety. We’re very grateful she was available!”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals. Growing up, I had the joy of caring for Shelties, Golden Retrievers, and Papillons, each teaching me the importance of patience, companionship, and understanding every dog’s unique personality. I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy who is very loved, well-socialized, and has the sweetest, most gentle personality. He is extremely well-behaved and will be starting puppy school in July to continue building his training and manners. My partner is also home and able to help care for him, ensuring every pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, and love. If your pup stays with me, they will be welcomed into a safe, caring, and dog-loving home. I want to be transparent that my puppy may be present during stays, but I always prioritize the comfort and needs of your pet. For walks, your dog will receive one-on-one attention — I will take your pup on their own walk rather than walking multiple dogs together. For drop-ins or visits, my focus will be on giving your pet personalized care, affection, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet will be treated like family here 🐾 I am a teacher and will be off during the months of July and August, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care whenever needed. I have plenty of time to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Starting in September, my availability will depend on whether I accept a teaching position (LTO), but I will always have availability in the evenings and on weekends. I am committed to providing reliable and consistent care and will communicate clearly with each pet parent to make sure your pet’s needs are met. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or visiting them in theirs, I focus on making sure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, clean, and dog-loving environment where they receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and supervision. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I will always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable. My Golden Retriever puppy may be present in my home, but he is extremely friendly, well-behaved, and continuing his training. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines while providing dependable care, companionship, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love. I know pets feel most comfortable with familiarity, so I aim to keep their normal schedule and environment as consistent as possible. I will always communicate with pet parents, provide updates, and make sure you feel confident knowing your furry family member is safe and cared for while you’re away. 🐾
About: Now that I’m home for the summer I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends. I live with two cats and one energetic puppy. My qualification list is extensive, as I have plenty of experience in pet sitting and walking, as well as experience working in a Veterinary office. I’m currently working part time and my shifts end around noon so my schedule is very flexible. I have lots of free time to spend with your pet and I spend lots of time at home so they will never feel alone. I have a large fenced yard to take pets out to run around and use the bathroom. I live in a large, clean, safe, and pet friendly household. Your pet will get plenty of attention and plenty of love here.

“This was our first experience using a cat sitter through Rover. We could not have been happier or more reassured that our 2 cats were well cared for in our home. Tracy just knew what we needed and thoughtfully sent us pictures showing “the boys” being very comfortable in her care. One in particular is very cautious with people but Tracy quickly earned his trust and they became friends. Tracy is professional and personable and we really look forward to having her look after our feline family again. Thanks so much, Tracy.”
“We love Renee! She takes such great care of our Smokey! I have recommended her to all of our friends and family, she is seriously a superstar and we so appreciate her taking such great care of our girl. She takes the best pictures and sent us updates which kept us at ease while away. Thanks again Renee!”
“Siobhan was such a wonderful sitter for our cat while we were away. She was so caring and diligent with her visits and communication. She was quick to respond, and she didn’t hesitate to ask questions to ensure she was taking the best care of him. We truly appreciated all the updates, and it helped ease our minds knowing he was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Siobhan to anyone needing a cat sitter! Thank you Siobhan for all of your help so we could enjoy our family time away!”
“Heather was an amazing sitter for our cat while we were away. She kept us up to date with photos and messages every day. She also responded very quickly when I reached out to see how our cat was doing without us around for so long. She even watered our garden, and made sure our cat wasn’t outside too long on the really hot days. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone! Thank you Heather!”

“Amazing first experience leaving my dog! Siobhan was extremely welcoming and my dog was clearly at ease and had a great day and is also exhausted which is a bonus. She even went so far as to give her a bath. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I think it is the connection I make with all doggies. I like to make sure they are very happy to be around me and that they have what ever they need.

We can accommodate off leash and leased dogs.

But don't worry, your pet won't be alone because while I'm working my husband will be home, and when he's working I will be home. I have a fully fenced in backyard for your dogs to stay safe and have fun off leash. We have a bungalow style home which is great for dogs that struggle with stairs. They can sleep on a dog bed on the floor or we have a crate if that's what they are used to. They will get lots of love, playtime, and treats (if allowed). I will keep you updated with pictures and videos of your fur baby while they are in my care.
“Valerie did an amazing job watching our miniature dachshund Ruby over the weekend while my husband and I got married in MacTier! She has a lovely home in a beautiful location and did her very best to make Ruby comfortable and give her lots of attention and cuddles. Would highly recommend her for dogs with separation anxiety!”
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with a passion for giving dogs a safe, loving, and cozy home away from home. I live on 2 beautiful acres with a dedicated space just for dog play, exploring, and enjoying the outdoors. Whether your pup loves to run, play, relax, or soak up attention, I make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family. I truly adore spending time with animals and caring for their well-being. Every dog deserves patience, affection, and personalized care, and I love creating a calm, happy environment where they can feel safe and loved while you’re away. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and attention are always included! 🐾 I am currently working Monday to Friday between 8am to 4pm. I am home on weekends enjoying the outdoors with my family. I am open to care on weekends or weekday evenings. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I live on 2 acres with a dedicated fenced area for safe outdoor play, exercise, and exploring while always being supervised. Inside the home, I focus on creating a cozy and low-stress atmosphere with plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and rest.
“We left our dog Polo in very good hands. Sabine loves dogs and Polo warmed up to her immediately. Her attention to Polo’s personality made us feel comfortable leaving him with her. Polo had wonderful daily walks and enjoyed her home made dog treats. We definitely would like to use Sabine again!”
“Ruby had a fantastic stay with Danielle over the weekend; she didn’t even want to leave when we got there to pick her up! Danielle took amazing care of Ruby and instantly made her feel right at home. She gave her lots of attention and affection and lots of photo updates. She truly is the dachshund whisperer! I would definitely recommend her for dogs with separation anxiety. We’re very grateful she was available!”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals. Growing up, I had the joy of caring for Shelties, Golden Retrievers, and Papillons, each teaching me the importance of patience, companionship, and understanding every dog’s unique personality. I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy who is very loved, well-socialized, and has the sweetest, most gentle personality. He is extremely well-behaved and will be starting puppy school in July to continue building his training and manners. My partner is also home and able to help care for him, ensuring every pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, and love. If your pup stays with me, they will be welcomed into a safe, caring, and dog-loving home. I want to be transparent that my puppy may be present during stays, but I always prioritize the comfort and needs of your pet. For walks, your dog will receive one-on-one attention — I will take your pup on their own walk rather than walking multiple dogs together. For drop-ins or visits, my focus will be on giving your pet personalized care, affection, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet will be treated like family here 🐾 I am a teacher and will be off during the months of July and August, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care whenever needed. I have plenty of time to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Starting in September, my availability will depend on whether I accept a teaching position (LTO), but I will always have availability in the evenings and on weekends. I am committed to providing reliable and consistent care and will communicate clearly with each pet parent to make sure your pet’s needs are met. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or visiting them in theirs, I focus on making sure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, clean, and dog-loving environment where they receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and supervision. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I will always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable. My Golden Retriever puppy may be present in my home, but he is extremely friendly, well-behaved, and continuing his training. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines while providing dependable care, companionship, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love. I know pets feel most comfortable with familiarity, so I aim to keep their normal schedule and environment as consistent as possible. I will always communicate with pet parents, provide updates, and make sure you feel confident knowing your furry family member is safe and cared for while you’re away. 🐾
“Omg if you are ever in the area for a stay, Kristen is your gal! We have a rescue dog that we’ve only had for nearly 6 months and we booked a mini getaway for the weekend. Kristen was completely amazing! With updated photos throughout the day and updates about feeding, play time, etc., our Don Julio may have been hesitant in the beginning (who would blame him) but warmed up extremely quick and has some great new friends! Thank you again Kristen for watching our boy and I promise the next time we come up, we will plan a visit for him to reunite with his besties!”
“Joan is a great provider of dog care! My dog Romeo definitely felt very at home with Joan and all went well with his boarding at Joan's house. Joan provided lots of pictures and updates and clearly took great care of Romeo during his recent stay. I strongly recommend booking with Joan if you can! She is GREAT!”
“Denise and Mindy were amazing with our dog Lucy. They showered her in love and cuddles while we were away and sent us lots of pictures to reassure us. We would love to have them watch our pup again for us. We highly recommend Denise and Mindy to watch your pup!”
“Adriana was amazing with our dog! She was accommodating to our schedule and sent pictures of our dog while we were away! When I picked her up I could tell she had had a good time and was almost hesitant to leave! I would highly recommend Adriana!”
About: Besides having pets my whole life I would say that my special skills include setting up cages, giving accurate dosages of medication and providing long walks and play times. Crate trained or not, I have been with all ages and types/sizes of dogs. Pet care sits my schedule because and a person of routine I enjoy getting to come home to someone. Walks, exercise, and giving entertainment are all these daily I try and accomplish. My home is large, each of the 3 levels have enough enough room to feel spacious. The yard front and back are both large. We have a pool that is swim friendly as-well and a caged in area for any off leash fun. Pets are welcome on the furniture just because that’s always how I had it when I grew up. I mean they are part of the family of course they can come chill and watch a movie. We are also near a park and lake and live In an avenue so almost no traffic.
