“We had such a great experience with Katherine. The daily updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear Quinn was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. It made being away so much easier. I truly can’t recommend Katherine enough!”
“Heather was amazing with my buddy Bakker. He is a rescue and a bit skiddish and takes a while to warm up to people and other dogs. She was very patient with him and slowly introduced him to her fur babies and within a couple of hours he was fine.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd of my own along with a cat and a bunny! My dog would love to join all of the adventures but also understands that not everybody wants to be friends! I am currently work a part time job and have a flexible schedule! I am available mornings, afternoons and nights! This includes weekends as well. I have an unfenced yard and my dog is let outside by leash. This is compensated by MANY walks in a day and lots of adventures. My home is spacious and my dog is extremely welcoming and loves to make fur friends.
“Winnie was very happy when I collected her, very pleased with. Idols care. She made me laugh when she said Winnie jumped on the bed and jumped up on top of the cat!!Will certainly take Winnie to her again, thank you”
“Lisa was great, highly responsive and was able to accommodate a very last minute request when we had a last minute schedule change. Our dog had a great time playing with her dog and Lisa provided lots of updates and our dog clearly felt very comfortable and at home.”
“We were incredibly fortunate to find Emilie & Vitaly to take care of Sadie while we were away for the week. From the very beginning, Emilie’s communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured. The daily photos and updates were wonderful and gave us peace of mind knowing that Sadie was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. It was clear that she was in loving and capable hands. We would highly recommend Emilie & Vitaly and their children to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Sadie!”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
“Pam did an excellent job of looking after our dog Rory! She gave her regular walks and meals and sent us pics to show us Rory was well. Pam is a nice person and I would trust her to care for my dog again!”
“Angii was a terrific sitter for our dog. He felt comfortable with her quickly and she thoughtfully sent us photos during his stay. We would definitely book with Angii again. Five Stars!”
“My little one Rigby stayed at Jennifer’s for two days. Jennifer kept us up to date throughout the stay and we had peace of mind the whole time we were away. When we picked her up she was in very good spirit, very happy to see me though, but also very at home at Jennifer’s home, telling me she had a good time away from home and was well cared for. Huge thank you!”
“Cynthia is a wonderful person and takes care to make sure that our pup and ourselves are calm and content. She sent lots of pictures of Gerald’s first sleepover with her two dogs and it was so very appreciated. I would book her again in a heartbeat 💗”
“Courtney was absolutely exceptional! Stella had a great time in her care! Her property is amazing! She had excellent communication; sent pictures while out on a walk, and kept me in the loop and reassured while we were away! She definitely went over and above to pamper, exercise and take great care of Stella! We would 100% book again and reccommend Courtney!”

“Amane did such an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away! Her communication was amazing and I loved all the pictures and videos I got from each visit. Will 💯 use her in the future. Cannot recommend enough!!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and trustworthy pet lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, playtime, overnight care, and providing companionship to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I usually travel for work so on the months I’m off I have a completely wide open schedule so I can give my full attention to your pets. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages, photos, and videos so they can feel confident that their furry family members are happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
About: Hi! I’m brand new to the Meaford/Collingwood/Thornbury area, but have visited ever since I was little. Living here has been nothing but amazing, since moving from the busy city. A little bit about my pet history, I had two bunnies over the course of my years in elementary school and early high school. Their names were Oscar and Pongo - they were the sweetest little guys and lived very long happy lives. A few years later in September 2017, we got our special girl Lola. For over 8 wonderful years, she was the light of our lives. She passed away in February 2026 from cancer and we miss her so so much. Since then, I’ve been wanting to spend more time around dogs again - their energy, their companionship, the simple joy of a good walk. Getting to know dogs (and people!) in this community feels like a natural next step as I settle into life here. I’m patient, gentle, and give every animal in my care the same love and attention I gave Oscar, Pongo and Lola. I am a very active individual as well, so I look forward to early morning walks and jogs, a lot of playtime and teaching animals tricks. I’ve also had hands on experience caring for dogs outside of my own family. I’ve looked after friends’ big dogs such as a German Shepherd named Sky, and I’m very comfortable with high energy breeds - Lola herself was a cockapoo, so I know that zoomies and cuddle combo very well! Extended family members also have high energy dogs I’ve helped care for over the years. On the medical side, I have experience administering medication to mid-to-senior dogs, since Lola was on medication a few times in her later years At the end of the day, caring for animals has always felt second nature to me! I’d love the chance to bring that same care, patience, and love to your pet while getting to know this community I now call home! Pet care fits into my daily routine pretty easily! I work from home, Monday to Friday, from 9-5 and have the ability to take walks throughout the day. After work it’s always playtime/adventure time to either a dog park (which is right around the corner from me) or walk around the neighbourhood (I live beside a beach!) I’m also available weekends! At this time, I only offer care in your home. I’m not able to host pets at my home currently, but most likely in the future. I’m happy to come to your home for walks, feeding or playtime
“Sara and Cody are incredible people who took amazing care of my fur baby. Charlotte was very well cared for, and Sara truly went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, comfortable, and loved. I couldn't have asked for better care, and I highly recommend them!”
About: I have experience caring for indoor cats, outdoor cats, barn cats and hairless/Sphynx cats, as well as cats who need medication or extra support. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for feeding, litter boxes, medications, routines, indoor/outdoor access and each cat’s individual personality. I know cats can be particular about their space, schedule and people, so I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and low stress as possible. Whether a cat is social, shy, independent, senior, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to help them feel safe and settled while they're in my care. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before the first booking so I can get to know your cat, their routine, their care needs and any other important details ahead of time.

During drop-ins, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. On walks, I make sure dogs get safe, engaging exercise at their own pace.

“A charming caring lady who will do her best with your cat! My cat liked to hide under the bed, but Kimberly was able to coax her out for socializing and meals. I will definitely be using her again if travelling abroad! 5 stars!”

“Thank you for taking such good care of the girls! They loved being outside running around with the fenced in yard! We will definitely return for another visit.”
“Shorty had a wonderful day with Jesse, Natalie and Lucy. They have a great fenced in yard for the pups to sniff and play (Shorty and Lucy are still playing it cool but I think soon they will be romping buddies). Shorty loves affection and he was certainly spoiled here. They also went above and beyond, giving Shorty a little butt wash before I picked him up! I 100% recommend this household for your dog's care. They are lovely people, very dog experienced and of course they LOVE dogs!”

“Michelle was absolutely amazing! We booked our pup, Sobey, in for a full day of daycare and she absolutely loved it! From play time with Molly, to a duo walk, to snuggles inside, Sobey was extremely well taken care of and had the best day! Michelle was quick to respond to messages, extremely accommodating and sent us videos and pictures throughout the day of Sobey and Molly’s adventures! Michelle truly cares about what she does and made Sobey feel at home right away. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Michelle and Molly 🥰”

“Thanks Angi for taking care of our dog Lily. Angi is very fast to respond to request for day care and to all of our other questions. Angi took great care of Lily.

I would highly recommend Angi dog care services! Thank you Angi!”

“Heather was amazing with my buddy Bakker. He is a rescue and a bit skiddish and takes a while to warm up to people and other dogs. She was very patient with him and slowly introduced him to her fur babies and within a couple of hours he was fine.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd of my own along with a cat and a bunny! My dog would love to join all of the adventures but also understands that not everybody wants to be friends! I am currently work a part time job and have a flexible schedule! I am available mornings, afternoons and nights! This includes weekends as well. I have an unfenced yard and my dog is let outside by leash. This is compensated by MANY walks in a day and lots of adventures. My home is spacious and my dog is extremely welcoming and loves to make fur friends.
“Winnie was very happy when I collected her, very pleased with. Idols care. She made me laugh when she said Winnie jumped on the bed and jumped up on top of the cat!!Will certainly take Winnie to her again, thank you”
“Lisa was great, highly responsive and was able to accommodate a very last minute request when we had a last minute schedule change. Our dog had a great time playing with her dog and Lisa provided lots of updates and our dog clearly felt very comfortable and at home.”
“We were incredibly fortunate to find Emilie & Vitaly to take care of Sadie while we were away for the week. From the very beginning, Emilie’s communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured. The daily photos and updates were wonderful and gave us peace of mind knowing that Sadie was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. It was clear that she was in loving and capable hands. We would highly recommend Emilie & Vitaly and their children to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Sadie!”
“Having Richard care for my dog gave me great relief as a first time Rover customer. Everything seemed quite seamless. Richard was very welcoming and showed me some of the area of his home where my dog would be spending some time there. And the backyard was a nice big fenced in area!! Definitely would recommend his services and will utilize his help again!”
“Pam did an excellent job of looking after our dog Rory! She gave her regular walks and meals and sent us pics to show us Rory was well. Pam is a nice person and I would trust her to care for my dog again!”
“Angii was a terrific sitter for our dog. He felt comfortable with her quickly and she thoughtfully sent us photos during his stay. We would definitely book with Angii again. Five Stars!”
“My little one Rigby stayed at Jennifer’s for two days. Jennifer kept us up to date throughout the stay and we had peace of mind the whole time we were away. When we picked her up she was in very good spirit, very happy to see me though, but also very at home at Jennifer’s home, telling me she had a good time away from home and was well cared for. Huge thank you!”
“Courtney was absolutely exceptional! Stella had a great time in her care! Her property is amazing! She had excellent communication; sent pictures while out on a walk, and kept me in the loop and reassured while we were away! She definitely went over and above to pamper, exercise and take great care of Stella! We would 100% book again and reccommend Courtney!”
About: I grew up on a small hobby farm looking after all different types of animals. But I’ve always had a strong love for dogs. I treat all animals like they are my own, with unconditional love and the best care I can provide. I believe everyone should feel the joy of owning a dog! But of course life gets busy and work can become a priority. So I am more than happy to help those people have the peace of mind while they are away from their pets, that they are getting the love and attention they need! Let me help you give your pet a little extra joy in their day while you are gone, whether it’s an extra walk or just some snuggle time! I currently work from home on our beautiful little hobby farm, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and spend time with your pups! Offering daycare Monday through Friday from 8-5 and overnight boarding any day including weekends & holidays. I have a fenced yard with two separate areas, and two friendly dogs to play with your pups! I am also fully set up with professional style kennels and doggy play room!
About: I’ve have had a dog my entire life, working with rescues and making them comfortable within my home.

I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time for your dog, I go on plenty of walks and will have more then enough time to spend with your dog I have a fenced in yard and live close to walking trails. Your dog will have 3 loving dogs to play with, and watched at all times
“Jessica and family treated my dog, Cooper, just like he was their own and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I met them. They sent many updates, including photos and videos. I will definitely be using their dog sitting services again and highly recommend them!”
“Ashley was incredibly accommodating with an out-of-the-norm pick-up times and with a last minute booking. Her property has plenty of space for the dogs to play and my dog loved spending time with her pups. She was very communicative and stayed in touch over the weekend. Only downside - my pup came home smelling quite strongly of cigarette smoke. Other than that, would book again!”
About: Hi there, My name is Natalie and I live with my partner Jesse, our 12 year old pug Bernie and our 4 year old Terrier mix, Lucy. We are huge dog lovers and often spend our weekends going for long walks and volunteering for a local animal rescue. We would treat your pet like our own while they are in our care. Every day we make sure our two dogs are cared for and happy. Our joy and purpose comes from seeing them living their best lives. Safety and lost dog prevention always comes first. It is so important that a dog is secure and never given the opportunity to be in harms way.
“Tessa was wonderful with our girl! She stayed with her for about 10 days and took such great care of her. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Tessa sent updates and photos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. She's kind, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter”
“We were very pleased with the care Dex received with Jessica. She sent updates and pictures often which gave us peace of mind and very secure. Dex was well taken care of and she really cared for him. I would definitely use her again.”
