“Siobhan and Marc were great! We used them for doggy daycare while we went to Santas Village for the day. They were easy to communicate with and we felt good about leaving our dog with them.”
“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 😊”
“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.”
“Katia looked after our dog, Skittles for 2 weeks when we were traveling overseas. Katia sent updates and photos daily how Skittles was doing and what they did that day. Katia and her family, along with their family dog, loved our "social butterfly" pup so Skittles fit right into their home! Skittles was happy to see us but I am sure she would like to go back some time. We will definitely use Katia again.”
“Lisa was amazing with my 2 year old bouvier, Molly. I was sent pictures of her walking, resting, investigating Lisa's home and yard. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again if needed. It was Molly's first time away from family and she had never met Lisa before. I was nervous that Molly might cause problems, but she was very comfortable with Lisa. Thank you for such great care.”
“We’re so happy we found Wayne to watch our dog Bentley while we were in the hospital having our twins! Bentley had the best time playing in the huge backyard surrounded by his favourite things: sticks, water, and doggie friends. Wayne clearly showed him so much love, and we appreciated all the photo and video updates. He and Darlene were also incredibly kind and supportive during this special time for our family—their warmth truly meant a lot to us. Truly the best dog sitting experience we’ve ever had. Thank you both so much!”
“Julianne was great for boarding out medium-large golden doodle for a couple of nights. She communicated with photos and texts to let us know how it was going and what they were up to. Julianne followed our feeding instructions to the letter.”
“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.”
“Tracy was so friendly, welcoming and so sensitive to our senior blind dog Bella who also suffers from separation anxiety when not with us. Tracy was able to calm her down and feeling secure that she can trust her. Bella did not bark all day like she does at à regular kennel. When we picked her up, Bella was not stressed like she is usually when we pick her up at a kennel. I was so grateful for the genuine care Tracy gave to our Bella. I recommend Tracy's services as I would use hers again anytime. Merci Tracy. Claudette Lamontagne Azilda Ontario”
“Ellie just love’s going to Sharon’s house and it’s such a nice social place for her to be that I am looking for excuses to take her back more often! I highly recommend her!”
“My dog Beau had an excellent stay with Valerie at her home in Honey Harbour. He was with her for 7 days and I felt very confident with her. She gave me updates throughout his stay to ensure he was doing alright. I will definitely be using her as a sitter again!”
“Kristen did a great job looking after Obi. He had a great time playing with Ellie and the other dogs and we loved getting the photo updates. We were never worried about him and were very happy to know he was well cared for.”
“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!”
“Melanie was wonderful. We did a meet and greet before taking care of Mikey. Melanie is very warm and friendly and Mikey had a great day with her. She sent videos and pics of their time together. Mikey is a senior so he's pretty laid back and quiet, but he was quite happy to have Melanie here for company and getting outside. He was great when I got home as well. I would highly recommend Melanie. Hopefully we can use her services again soon. Thank you”
About: Have had dogs all my life. Just lost our sweet pug at the age of 15. Tended to all of his senior special needs. Have trained several puppies with family pets and missing having a dog to care for. Would love new dogs to spend time with, snuggle and walk! I am at home all day and would love to have a dog to take care of and cherish! I do not work so I’ll be able to give my full attention. We live full time at our cottage and have lots of space for dogs to run and play. Plenty of walking trails nearby for more active dogs.
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.
“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!”
“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!”

“Anika was so pleasant to meet!! She took the time to ask important questions about our boys - questions I didn’t even consider to tell her about! The boys loved their visits with her!”
“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.”
“Outstanding! It was my first time leaving this house and my cat with a caretaker, so I was extremely apprehensive. Danielle was AMAZING!!!! She appreciated my nervousness, respected all of the house ‘quirks’, was phenomenal with communication and sent photos of the cat which put me at ease that he was okay with a ‘stranger’ in the house. On top of it, I came home to the house being as clean as when I left, which I super appreciated. I literally do not have one bad thing to say about Danielle and her house/cat sitting professionalism - she is absolutely fantastic. And I am insanely relieved and grateful!!! Thank you Danielle!”

“Our dog Rocco had the time of his life hanging out with Lisa and Andrew. He had two back to back day care stays. Returning for day two he leaped from our car and tugged me towards Lisa’s door and couldn’t wait for her to answer the door bell. A very good sign he was looking forward to all the love and play time he had with them. Also great communication and sweet pics! 100 percent —high recommendation.”
“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. I adjust my actions to look after senior doggies or puppies and all in between. I am retired and my schedule is usually flexible. I am looking to meet new doggies and look after them during the week. I could be available on weekends if needed. We don’t have any pets and have a large rural property. We would discuss the needs of your dog and taylor their needs to make everyone comfortable. We can accommodate off leash and leased dogs.
“I do not trust many people with my pup and I feel so comfortable leaving her with Danielle! Not only a warm and inviting home, but personality as well. Mabel always comes home happy and tired. The photos throughout the day are so great to see and always show how much fun and love my girl is getting. I have already used Danielle a second time and would recommend her to anyone !”
“Rhiannon was so lovely with our Bernese, Fred-Franklin! She went above and beyond and dropped him back to us when we were in a pickle with our car, and we could tell he had a great day. Very lovely and communicative. :)”
“Julianne was great with Cooper, she was super communicative and sent updates throughout, and her home and backyard are super dog friendly! I would absolutely book with her again for daycare.”
“Danielle was great.She made both our dogs feel at home and cared for, including our special needs Maizie. A kind woman with very calm energy. I highly recommend her doggy daycare!”
“Debra was great with Cooper and I would definitely book again! Lots of pictures, a great fenced backyard for playing, great communicator, and she made sure Coop was happy and comfortable for his stay.”
“Susan looked after our miniature dachshund Ruby last minute for several hours while my husband and I went to a birthday party, and she did an amazing job making Ruby feel safe and comfortable. Ruby had a great time and she was all smiles and tail wags when we picked her up. Susan has a lovely home and I think Ruby really enjoyed herself there. I would highly recommend her services :)”
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. 🐾
“Melanie has been a wonderful dog sitter for my miniature pinscher mix Lulu! Lulu went on a regular basis for doggy daycare in the fall of 2025 and early 2026 before we moved away. Melanie was always responsive, caring and provided regular updates with photos and video after every daycare session. Lulu is going to miss going to Melanie’s house and playing with her friend Finn. Thank you Melanie!”
“Our little guy Brady got to spend a wonderful day with Sharon this week. So lucky to have found such a caring animal lover while we vacationed at a friends cottage in midland! We got to enjoy our day on the slopes at mount St. Louis knowing that Brady was in great hands. Thank you Sharon for such a great experience! Brady will be back again soon!”

About: Hi! I’m Olly! I’ve taken care of dogs for around 6 years. This started with casual dog walks for friends and turned into a passion of learning dog behaviours, needs and joys! Most recently, I have been fortunate to volunteer for the SPCA and provide longer term care for dogs that needed a safe foster home. From senior dogs to 4-week old puppies, I’ve loved every second. I care for dogs alongside my partner, Georgia, and together we know just how important the peace of mind for your pups whilst you are away. Having recently lost our beloved Standard Poodle, we have a lot of love to give and want to extend that into a safe, kind, patient and caring temporary space for your dogs! We are located 15mins outside of Penetanguishene, but also offer pick up/ drop off in Penetanguishene and Midland - just let us know if you would like this! For car journeys, we have a dog hammock on the backseat to provide your pups with a comfy ride! Currently, I am on a flexible, work-from-home schedule! This means there is lots of room for pet care, which we offer Monday through Sunday. We love long and short walks depending on your pups needs and lots of time to play and relax too. Right now we are a pet-fee, child-free, smoke-free home! We have a yard that is currently unfenced but closed in and closely monitored. We offer a long leash for outside time and a XL crate for some quiet inside time if needed. Dogs that are not crate-trained are welcome as well :)
“We felt very comfortable leaving Dora with Michelle after meeting her and Tyson. Michelle is very relaxed and has a broad knowledge of dogs and demeanor. I was provided with regular updates and pics of our girl Dora. Dora spent the night with Michelle, her husband and and their dog Tyson. Dora came home happy and tired! Lol. After Dora’s first night away, I would recommend Michelle to any pet mom or dad. ?”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for many years, and I know how important it is to trust someone with your best friend. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I provide safe, reliable care with plenty of exercise, attention, and updates so you can have complete peace of mind. Rest assured, with me your dog will be well loved, well fed, and most importantly, safe while you're away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. Lincoln and I, enjoy multiple walks every day, plenty of outdoor time, and we get to spend lots of quality time together. Because caring for animals is already part of my lifestyle, adding your pet to my routine is something I genuinely enjoy. As a business owner, I also have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, keep pets on their normal routine, ensure they always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention, and make safety my top priority by securing doors, gates, and leashes. I also provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
