“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.”
“Teddy has stayed with Cindy a few times now and each time I know he’s more comfortable and enjoys himself more than the last time. Cindy will always give updates and send pictures to show what they’re up to. I’m truly grateful to have a trusted dogsitter I can rely on- as an anxious dog mama it really makes going away much more enjoyable! Thanks Cindy and we will see you soon.”
“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.”
“Where do we begin? We were so nervous about leaving Nicky with strangers. And we are truly so grateful to have found Susan and Brian. Full disclosure, we thought about not writing this review so that we could keep Susan and Brian all to ourselves, but we know that they will take very, very good care of other, beloved pets so here we are. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Susan and Brian! They made sure that our human and the furry family members were comfortable from the start. Communication was excellent. They made sure to keep us updated with regular messages and photos. They also created a little “report card” upon our return so we knew exactly how and what Nicky was doing each day — such a thoughtful touch! They went above and beyond while caring for our dog. When Nicky had unexpected tummy issues, they handled it with such care and ease. We had peace of mind the entire time we were away. We highly recommend Susan and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, kind, gentle, funny, dedicated and wonderfully caring sitters for their furry family members. Susan and Brian, thank you so much!”
“From the moment I walked in Carley's house I knew it was all about dogs. She had welcomed Roxy with open arms. This was the first time we boarded Roxy and were very nervous, but had no other options. Carley was fantastic she put us at ease and sent me pictures all night long so I knew she was ok. My dog was very happy and even made a new friend. I would not hesitate in recommending Carley for Dog sitting.”
“We had to come to the Collingwood area for a celebration of life. As we couldn’t find accommodation for a multigenerational family with a dog, our dog needed somewhere where she could be cared for. Our dog was not welcome at any recommended local kennels due to the required interview prior to accepting a booking. After providing a thorough description of our dogs character and needs, we were pleased that Heather offered her services for the weekend. Text communication was replied to promptly and questions answered. We were met at arrival, clarified one or two points about feeds and Roza headed off for an “away weekend”. A photo was provided the next morning, and it was clear that she was in good hands. Pickup was similarly well organized and at the sign over, we found out that she got along with the kittens. Who knew? Thanks for reducing some of the stress of the weekend.”
“Anne and Andrew are always so great with Luna. She loves them and is so comfortable in their care. We were away for a good amount of time and Luna was welcomed into their home like family, as she always is. She's always a little sad when it's time to come home. 😅”
“Jillian made Theo feel right at home. We received a few photos of him where he looked very content. Thank you for taking such good care of him; and when we’re back in the area we will definitely rebook!”
About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!
“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!”
“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!”
“Geo and Amanda were great! Lots of pictures sent for updates the dogs were extremely comfortable and happy to be with them. We’ve already rebooked for the next time! Thanks so much”
“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.”
“Angi was fantastic! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her over the weekend as we attended an event. You can tell she is a dog person, and was very welcoming and communicative. We appreciated the regular updates and photos to reassure us Maple was having a great time and was being well cared for. Would highly recommend and we’ll rebook if we are ever traveling that way again. Thanks Angi.”
“Adi and his wonderful wife are absolutely lovely and wonderful with my GSD Archer. He loves being there and is treated like family. I continually receive updates and videos which give me peace of mind. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and loving place to board your pup.”

“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!”
“Jacquelyn went above and beyond while supporting my cats. I felt so comfortable leaving their care in her hands, she came to my house twice day to give my cat his medication and while here she played with them and sent me so many cute photos! I made an error in my drop in schedule and Jacquelyn accommodated me immediately to make sure the cats would be fed. I cannot thank her enough and will be reaching out again in the future!”
About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, along with professional experience working in veterinary clinics.

“Dalton is fantastic. He took care of our 16 year old, diabetic cat while we went on vacation. He gave her daily injections of insulin and all went great. We received pictures everyday and he always let me know how she was doing. We came home to a happy content cat. I will definitely rebook with Dalton in the future. I couldn’t be happier with his service. Thanks Dalton!”
“Jessica stayed in our home with our two cats for the week and was great at keeping us in the loop with photos and updates as we had asked. We felt totally at ease knowing she was there and were able to enjoy our vacation!”

About: 🐱 About Me: Patient, Attentive Care for Your Feline Friends! Hi, I'm Natasha! As any cat lover knows, kitties rule the house, and they all have completely unique personalities. Some are social butterflies who crave chin scratches and laser pointer chases, while others prefer to observe you from a safe distance atop a bookshelf. My approach to cat care is entirely relationship-based and patient. I never force interaction; instead, I let your cat set the pace, earning their trust through quiet observation, respect for their boundaries, and sticking strictly to their established routines. What a Typical Visit Looks Like: Fresh Food & Water: Strict adherence to your feeding schedule (wet food prep, exact measurements, or specific medication schedules). I always wash bowls and refresh water fountains or dishes. Meticulous Litter Box Maintenance: A clean box keeps cats happy and healthy. I scoop thoroughly during every single visit and keep the surrounding area tidy. Enrichment & Play: If your cat is playful, I’m ready with the feather wand, crinkle balls, or laser pointer. If they love mental stimulation, I'm happy to set up treat puzzles. Quality Companionship: For shy or independent cats, I’m perfectly content sitting quietly on the floor, reading a book or working, just offering calm company so they don't feel entirely alone. The "Headcount" Rule: I never leave a visit without physically spotting your cat to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and accounted for—even if they are a master of hiding!
“Ashley took great care of our kitty, Charlie while we were away! Charlie requires special care and medication for his condition and Ashley took care of all his needs and kept him on schedule. She was very communicative and kept our place clean, we really appreciated that she was sending frequent pictures and updates. We have full trust in her and would highly recommend!”
About: Happy to walk a dog or two. I usually have my kids and dog in tow on walks, but am flexible if that’s not ideal. Our 12yo dog Kutsu (medium sized border collie mix from Japan) is great with other dogs and loves to run, play and explore. He mostly just keeps to himself though and avoids conflict. I am a full time mom looking for extra cash and love dogs, and so do the kids of course. The kids are so far very gentle with our dog and other dogs we’ve had here. We aren’t hosting at this time but will again soon! We're more than happy to accommodate any special needs. We are well-versed in the cone of shame, allergies, and giving medications. I used to be a nurse so learning on the job is my specialty. We believe in positive reinforcement training and have used an e-collar in the past until it wasn’t necessary anymore. Please feel free to talk to us more about how we can support you and your best friend! I am a stay at home mom so I make my own schedule and am very flexible. I am good with last-minute or planned visits. All depends on the needs of the dog. If they like to be left alone, cool. If they need meds, cool. If they need walks all day, cool. We can accomodate!

About: I’ve had lots of dogs and cats over the years. Each experiences was different as the dogs, It is a wonderful experience. I always treat my dogs and cats as they were my own children, with love, care, proper nutrition, playing with them and going on walks. I also teach my children how to treat animals and how to care for them. Such as feeding, playful play, walking, and showing them love and affection. The best part is having a communication with them and they won’t tell anyone haha. I also want to mention I have knowledge on cleaning and maintaining animal living spaces, Bathing and grooming animals, including cutting claws and trimming fur, giving basic obedience training to animals when necessary. I am available to care for both dogs and cats on a daily or weekly basis, with flexible scheduling throughout the day. Please note that services are available up until 10:00 PM. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference and the service requested. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family in a safe, clean, and welcoming environment. I follow their usual feeding routines, ensure fresh water is always available, provide regular exercise and playtime, and offer plenty of affection and supervision throughout the day. I also have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and space for crate use if needed. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. This includes feeding schedules, walks, litter box or waste cleanup, medication administration if required, and enrichment activities. I make sure the home is respected and kept tidy while ensuring the pet feels secure in their familiar environment. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional comfort, while also keeping owners updated as needed.

“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 🥰”

“We were so happy to have found Jill to watch our dog while we were visiting from out of town . She was a short drive from the village and was flexible with drop off and pick up time , allowing us to explore and enjoy blue mountain and pick up after dinner. She was easy to communicate/coordinate with and was able to accommodate a last minute request to add my brother’s dog to our booking. Thankful to have found a safe and fun place for the dogs to spend their days. They both had a great time.”

About: Our names are Kristin & Bora. We both adore dogs.... hypoallergenic breeds/mix only, because of allergies. We are both retired at an earlier age. We take the pups on a long morning walk in the forest and we go for an evening walk together. We have a fully fenced yard for outdoor play between walks. After we lost our "puppy" of 11 years, we got another little fur ball that is now 5 years old. We then added a friend for her that is now 2 years old. We offer our home to provide your dog a welcoming and safe place where they feel loved with no shortage of fun, attention and plenty of toys. We can keep in contact through text messages/phone calls/WhatsApp and can send pictures. Your precious friend will be very happy with us. We are both retired and absolutely adore the little fur balls. We spend our entire day looking after them, going for long walks, playing, etc.... We have a fenced yard that is safety checked for the pups. We treat them according to your instructions (just like you do at home). We have a form where you can specify feeding habits, play habits, sleeping habits, special requests.
“Jack had a great day with Jan and Mark. A long walk in the rain, getting to know Nana, ball play in the water in the afternoon! He came home a very happy camper! Thank you both.”

“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!”

I know how tough it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why my goal is to give you total peace of mind. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer who needs a structured routine, a growing puppy working on their manners, or a sweet senior who just wants a quiet couch to snooze on, I tailor my care to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy. Why Choose Me? Structured & Mindful Approach: I don't just "watch" dogs; I pay close attention to their body language, routines, and comfort levels. If you are working on specific training milestones (like crate training, loose-leash walking, or socialization), I am happy to help maintain that consistency while you're away! Active & Adaptive: From energetic hikes and outdoor play to calm, enriching indoor puzzles, I adapt the day's pacing to match your dog's age and energy level. Clear, Daily Communication: You'll get regular updates and photo check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I maintain a structured, full-time schedule that allows me to dedicate my days entirely to pet care. I don’t believe in leaving pets alone for long stretches, so your furry family member will enjoy a highly attentive environment. Whether maintaining a progressive exercise routine for an active dog, supporting a service candidate puppy working on their focus and manners, or providing quiet company for a senior pet, my schedule adapts to their needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is sticking to their comfort routine while you're away. I live in a cozy, secure, and entirely pet-friendly space that is kept clean and free of hazards. While I don’t have a private yard, I completely make up for it with a highly active and structured routine! Outdoor time is intentional and frequent. We will go on regular, timed leash walks and local outdoor adventures tailored entirely to your dog’s age and energy level. Inside, the vibe is peaceful and relaxing—perfect for refueling after a good walk. I have plenty of room for crates, beds, and indoor enrichment puzzles to keep your pup happy and content.
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and recently said goodbye to my two sweet pups who both lived beautiful, full lives to 16 years old. Caring for them through every stage — from playful puppy days to their senior years — gave me deep patience, attentiveness, and love for animals at every age. I understand how much pets mean to a family because mine were truly my heart. I treat every dog in my care with the same gentleness, respect, and affection, making sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I intentionally keep my schedule flexible. My days off during the week and on weekends allow me to care for your pet 100% of the time — they won’t be left alone for long stretches. I plan my days around walks, feeding times, play, and rest so your pet gets consistent attention and supervision. Whether it’s multiple daily walks, enrichment time, or just extra cuddles, I’m fully present and focused on their care while they’re with me. 🐾 Safety and trust are everything to me. In my home, pets are supervised, loved, and treated like family. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, I make up for it with frequent structured walks and outdoor time on a long leash in the yard so they can safely explore, sniff, and enjoy fresh air. I’m attentive to each dog’s energy level and routine — whether that means extra playtime, slower senior strolls, or sticking closely to feeding and medication schedules. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and provide updates with photos so you always feel connected and reassured. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times. 🐾
“Cindy was fantastic! From the moment we met her we knew she was going to be great! We felt very comfortable having her walk Bauer while we were away! Thank you so much!!”

About: My name is Ramona, and I am a holistic health coach and Certified Nutritional Practitioner. I currently have flexible time available to walk your dog, and I'm hoping to have more opportunity to book drop-ins and boarding in the near future. As an added bonus, I can also consult with you from a pet nutrition/wellness perspective too which we can discuss separately :) I miss my own dog very dearly, and I haven't felt right getting another yet because the memory of him is still so strong, even years later, so the next best thing is to support others with their beloved furry friends. I know how difficult it can be when your pet is family yet you have a demanding job, a hectic kids schedule, or the like, which leaves them alone for extended hours at a time. So I am here to help fill those gaps to keep your dog Exercised, Safe and Comforted until you return, while providing your pet with the Love Energy, Fun & Attention they deserve. You'll have the Peace Of Mind you seek to be truly present wherever you need to be knowing that your dog is well-cared for. I have extensive experience raising and caring for my own dog from puppy through to senior, so I have been through it all, including behavourial training, administering medications and ointments, and washing/cleaning/grooming. As such, I can handle your dog at practically any stage of life, at any size ranging from small to large. I have walked and house-sat for numerous cats and dogs over the years so I am very comfortable handling animals that are not my own. I understand the mind of dogs, their natural behaviours and instincts, as well as the importance of positively reinforced discipline and consistency. Please let me know of any special needs or behaviours you are trying to instill in your dog, and I will happily help maintain your training requirements while your dog is in my hands. As a wellness professional I practice what I preach. I am physically fit to handle most dog sizes (don't let my height fool you, I can handle walking and disciplining larger dogs since my own dog was a large Malamute/wolf mix). I love being outside, inclement weather doesn't deter me and I have all the parks, trails & beaches in the Wasaga Beach area available to me and your dog (there are also designated dog parks to explore). I look forward to meeting you and your dog! <3 I'm available exclusively for dog walking bookings at this time. I run a small health practice part-time at the moment that is relatively flexible, so with 48-hr notice I am able to accommodate any day except Wednesday and Sunday. I am working on being able to offer house sitting, boarding services, and drop-in visits in the near future. *Drop-in exceptions will be made if you would like to book me for multiple/recurring walks and believe you/your dog should meet me ahead of time -- let me know in this case and I'm happy to open a space on the booking platform for that :)
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse and hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and skill levels. With three years of experience in pet retail, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior and the products that best suit their needs. I’ve also worked closely with dog trainers and walkers, gaining specialized experience in handling reactive and aggressive dogs with defensive handling techniques. In addition to my expertise with senior dogs, puppies, and pullers, I’ve been actively involved in dog sports like agility, barn hunt, lure courses, scent work, canicross, rally obedience, and conformation. This gives me a unique ability to tailor activities to your dog’s energy levels, whether they need a calm walk or an engaging training session. Whether you're looking for someone to provide gentle care for a senior dog or a high-energy workout for a sporty pup, I can ensure your dog feels safe, stimulated, and well-loved. I work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments—including reactive and aggressive dogs. I’ve had great success helping dogs integrate into group walks, with many positive outcomes to show for it. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I’m passionate about balancing my career outside of Rover with my love for dogs who meet me through Rover! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines and preferences while maintaining balance and structure to stay consistent and reduce stress.
About: My name is Molly and I am 25 years old. I am an animal lover and have always had dogs in my life. My goal is to provide more than just a walk for your pup. I believe it’s important to keep your dog engaged with you to provide a greater level of mental and physical exercise. Our outing may include loose leash walking techniques in case your doggo needs a bit of re-direction and other engagement such as automatic sits. All of this is as per request since you know your dog best! I will also provide updates, photos and a map of the walk to give you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and my new best fur friend! I'm currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to walk your pup! I have a vehicle and am flexible to travel within reason. I will ensure a safe walking route, equipped with treats and rewards for good behaviour. I am happy to walk your pup along the beach if that's their favourite place to be.
About: With a lifelong exposure of a wide range of animals from large sizes like dogs and cats, to smaller sizes including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish, I offer a diverse understanding of pet care essentials and needs. This wide variety of experience sets the standard of providing the best care for your best friend! Please let me know if you have any questions about my availability, I do my best to update my calendar frequently! Thank you for your time :) I send updates (pictures and messages) consistently throughout my walks and/or stays via Rover app or outside the app (personal cell). :) Feel free to set up a meet n' greet with me before any confirmed visits/sittings.
About: I am a mature licensed legal professional, I don't have human kids but have a lovely dog! I work from home 90% of the time so I am able to offer quality supervision. I understand how our lives revolve around our "fur babies" and I'd love to offer others a chance to travel, go away for a night, etc. While having great peace of mind that their fur babies are well taken care of, have a fun time and their individual needs can be met with kindness from "aunti" keri. My basement is currently a fully furnished "cat condo" which means your kitty kids have their own private pad (with access to the full house if they like!). Lots of windows for sunbathing, a very cat friendly dog for companionship and lots of snuggles with aunti Keri! A true kitty retreat! I have a reasonably sized home with hardwood floors and a large in town property with a large fenced backyard. I love going for long walks and there are lots of trails in my area! I would say that I specialize in cats and elderly pets who are high needs. I grew up riding horses and in a home that always had at least 4 cats and 1 dog at all times. Im very knowledgable in pet care and have experience giving medication and babysitting friends and families critters. I have an SUV and a dog park just down the road (if wanted). There are also lots of walking trails around. I also have experience fostering cats and kittens for the humane society and have been blessed with raising numerous babies who found their fur-ever homes. Cats could have their own room (or basement suite), perch and lots of toys available! I am happy to keep in constant communication if wanted with the owner and would provide great peace of mind treating your animals as my own. Im happy to do meet and greets as well ahead of time free of charge. I am also open to consistent arrangements so your babies get familiar with me and always have a great place to stay ❤ I work from home full time so I'm able to supervise your pet and offer 4 long walks per day (morning, noon, after work and before bed). The large fenced backyard allows me to play close to home and watch your pet if they prefer to lounge and relax outside during the day.
About: I’m fully vaccinated, and I’ve had pets since before I was born! Trained my own dog to become an hospital/ambulance dog to go into hospitals LTC homes as well as schools for special needs students. We currently have 3 dogs at home and we love each and every one of them! I am VERY often relied on to dog sit by friends family and neighbours and they are always more than satisfied with the outcomes! I’m currently doing my Masters at Yorkville University from home, so I can dog sit/dog walk no matter the day! I also work as a part time nanny to two beautiful families, as well as a gym in Wasaga Beach! I usually work full days on Thursdays from 6am-9pm and I am at the gym every Saturday from 10am-6pm. Outside of those times, as long as I have my computer with me I can be available! I have a fenced yard, and 3 dogs. One loving playful chocolate lab, a fun energetic shipoo, and the sweetest of them all our chiwauwa boarder collie mix! (Don’t ask we’re not quite sure how it happened lol) He LOVES being around other dogs all sizes and ages! I feed them daily and walk them every other day rotating with other family members daily! Out of home services are preferred just to keep stress in the household at a minimum.
About: Hello potential clients, I have worked with various rescue dogs and had training regarding various breeds. I am able to read the dogs body language, as well as train them to walk properly. I have walked and babysat dogs for years for friends and family. No dog is to big of a challenge. I love every breed of dog, they can feel a humans emotions even though we might not always be aware. When I interact with your pet, I will be training the dog with a loving hand to guide it. I have experience taking care of pets, farm animals and free roam. If you have any further questions, feel free to send me a message. Take a look at the availability. It is updated weekly. Please feel free to send a message even if it is the night or hours before I am needed. I can easily work with dogs that have anxiety or fear of new people. I find watching animals in their own home help to ease this issue. I also offer administration of medicine.

“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.”
“Where do we begin? We were so nervous about leaving Nicky with strangers. And we are truly so grateful to have found Susan and Brian. Full disclosure, we thought about not writing this review so that we could keep Susan and Brian all to ourselves, but we know that they will take very, very good care of other, beloved pets so here we are. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Susan and Brian! They made sure that our human and the furry family members were comfortable from the start. Communication was excellent. They made sure to keep us updated with regular messages and photos. They also created a little “report card” upon our return so we knew exactly how and what Nicky was doing each day — such a thoughtful touch! They went above and beyond while caring for our dog. When Nicky had unexpected tummy issues, they handled it with such care and ease. We had peace of mind the entire time we were away. We highly recommend Susan and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, kind, gentle, funny, dedicated and wonderfully caring sitters for their furry family members. Susan and Brian, thank you so much!”
“We had to come to the Collingwood area for a celebration of life. As we couldn’t find accommodation for a multigenerational family with a dog, our dog needed somewhere where she could be cared for. Our dog was not welcome at any recommended local kennels due to the required interview prior to accepting a booking. After providing a thorough description of our dogs character and needs, we were pleased that Heather offered her services for the weekend. Text communication was replied to promptly and questions answered. We were met at arrival, clarified one or two points about feeds and Roza headed off for an “away weekend”. A photo was provided the next morning, and it was clear that she was in good hands. Pickup was similarly well organized and at the sign over, we found out that she got along with the kittens. Who knew? Thanks for reducing some of the stress of the weekend.”
“Anne and Andrew are always so great with Luna. She loves them and is so comfortable in their care. We were away for a good amount of time and Luna was welcomed into their home like family, as she always is. She's always a little sad when it's time to come home. 😅”
About: Our family provides pet care together, with myself and my husband, Vitaly, being fully responsible for all pets in our care. Our 11-year-old daughter is also deeply involved and passionate about animals. She has completed courses through the local Humane Society and is currently finishing a pet sitter course. She loves helping with walks, playtime, feeding, brushing, and giving animals lots of affection under our supervision. We also have another 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Animals are already a meaningful part of our family life, and we are planning to welcome our own dog within the next two years. In many ways, pet care has become a beautiful opportunity for us to spend time with dogs while continuing to learn and prepare as future dog owners ourselves. As a family, we enjoy learning about dog behaviour, training, and care, and even love watching Cesar Millan together. We have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. We have completed both a 10-day farm sitting stay in the summer and a 7-day stay in the winter for close friends with a hobby farm that includes two dogs, a cat, goats, chickens, and other animals. Our responsibilities included daily feeding, animal care, cleaning, outdoor chores, and even milking goats. In addition, we have experience fostering dogs in our home, providing pet care for friends and neighbours, dog walking, and drop-in visits/check-ins for bathroom breaks and companionship. One summer, we also helped a neighbour with daily noon-time puppy check-ins for six weeks while they were at work. We are a calm, caring, outdoorsy family who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and reasonably calm around cats. We do have a cat in the home, though she has her own quiet spaces and hiding spots where she can retreat comfortably when needed. My husband and I both work as entrepreneurs mostly from home. We do sometimes leave the house for around 2-4 hrs for different activities with our homeschooled children. Sometimes we can bring dogs with us, sometimes they need to stay at the house. Our family like to take regular walks in the morning and evening so we don’t need to change our routine too much when we add a dog to the house. We have a fenced yard and three level house. We are extra tidy when dogs are around and are careful with leaving food out. We once had a dog eat a brick of butter from the counter…let’s say we learned our lesson!
“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!”
“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!”
“Geo and Amanda were great! Lots of pictures sent for updates the dogs were extremely comfortable and happy to be with them. We’ve already rebooked for the next time! Thanks so much”
“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.”
“Angi was fantastic! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her over the weekend as we attended an event. You can tell she is a dog person, and was very welcoming and communicative. We appreciated the regular updates and photos to reassure us Maple was having a great time and was being well cared for. Would highly recommend and we’ll rebook if we are ever traveling that way again. Thanks Angi.”
“Adi and his wonderful wife are absolutely lovely and wonderful with my GSD Archer. He loves being there and is treated like family. I continually receive updates and videos which give me peace of mind. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and loving place to board your pup.”
“Dalton looked after our Golden Retriever DayZ for five days, and she was spoiled rotten! We received regular updates and pictures, and it was clear DayZ was well taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend Dalton to anyone looking for a loving home to keep their pet. We will definitely use him again!”
“Dale was absolutely amazing with our often difficult to manage dog. We were amazed at how well she managed him, and will absolutely use her again in the future. We were given updates throughout his stay, and felt confident knowing she was looking after our pup”
“Our dog can be an absolute menace with strangers and had the best time with Sharon!! Her dedication to making sure our pup was comfortable was awesome! Thank you so much!”
