Gayle and Liam were wonderful pet sitters. They were available when we needed them, and sent frequent updates and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely use their services again.

About: With a lifetime of animal care experience, I offer exceptional care to your beloved pet, whether it's a dog, cat, or emu. Ok, maybe not an emu, but I do have years of personal experience with a variety of animals: dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and horses. I grew up volunteering at the humane society, and I have years of experience working in animal rescue and veterinary clinics, in addition to dog walking for clients, where I gained valuable professional experience aiding in the care of all kinds of breeds of dogs with varying temperaments. It was at the rescue I worked at that I rescued my handsome pup Kai -- a semi-feral mixed breed from the woods of Manitoba. For the time being, my services will be limited to drop-in visits (not just for dogs) and dog walking. I'll even walk your cat if that's your thing! I offer individual solo walks or small groups of no more than 3 dogs if your pooch is more of a social butterfly. Either way, I can assure you that your family pet will receive the utmost quality care. I love 'em like they're my own. One thing to note-if you book an hour long walk these will likely be a bit longer than an hour as I will take them for adventure hikes, unless you request otherwise. My schedule is currently pretty flexible and open for the summer. September and onwards is still undetermined but please feel free to message me and inquire. At the moment I do not offer pet care in my home, however I am happy to go to yours up to 3x daily if needed to provide potty breaks or fun walks, as well as any necessary feedings or medications.

Bridget came to feed our bunny Dennis a handful of times over the long weekend. She did an amazing job, changing his litter and brushing him even though we did not request that. She went over and above and met all of our needs and more. Will definitely have her back.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve raised puppies and, most recently, provided dedicated senior care for my beloved dog until she passed away in May. My home has very few stairs, a beautiful fenced in yard, and everything your dog needs for a comfortable stay. Whether your dog is energetic or enjoys a slower pace, I’ll treat them with the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to send you photos and do FaceTime calls if that’s something you would like :) I’m currently a graduate student who is not working so I have a lot of availability and flexibility. I will treat your dog with the same love and care that I treated mine with. I have a beautiful, fully fenced yard where your dog can safely run and play. There are only a few steps to enter the house, and if your dog has mobility challenges, I’m happy to carry them if needed. Your dog will be treated like family and will enjoy the same love and freedom my own dog did, whether that’s curling up on the couch, relaxing in a cozy spot, or simply being wherever they’re happiest. I also have an 9 year old daughter who absolutely adores dogs and loves spending time with them. We would be thrilled to welcome your fur baby into our home, where they’ll enjoy their own vacation while you’re enjoying yours! 🐾❤️

This was the first time since my dog had been diagnosed with diabetes that we had to leave her with a pet sitter. I was a bit nervous about the thought of someone other than me having to give her an insulin injection, but Sarah did a fantastic job. I felt very reassured by Sarah's competence and professionalism, and will definitely have her again.

About: Lifelong Animal Lover With 10+ Years Vet Experience 🐾 Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Bailey, and I offer in-home pet boarding, daycare, and care for small to medium dogs, cats, and small animals. My pricing is set at what I believe is a fair reflection of my experience in the veterinary industry, the quality of care I provide, and the time dedicated to your pet. At the same time, I work hard to keep my services affordable because I understand firsthand how expensive being a pet parent can be. My goal is to provide trusted, professional care without adding financial stress. I’ve worked in the veterinary field for over 10 years, and I now work from home for a pet microchip company—meaning I’m available, attentive, and trained to notice even the smallest changes in your pet’s behavior or health. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly chihuahuas, two bunnies, and 3 pet rats, all of whom are used to meeting new animals and do great with visitors. I also have a gentle, animal-loving 7-year-old who has grown up around pets and understands how to treat them with care and respect. Animals have been my passion since childhood, and I love creating a calm, fun, and secure environment where your pet can feel like part of the family. Whether your pet needs cuddles, playtime, supervision, or just a quiet place to relax, I’m here to make their stay safe and enjoyable. If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your furry (or fluffy!) family member! I currently work from home for a pet microchip company—so I’m home and available all day. Since the company is very pet-friendly, they’re incredibly accommodating when it comes to things like background noise, potty breaks, or anything else your pet may need. Plus, my own 2 dogs are home with me all day and would love to play with your pet! When your pet is in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own! They have full access to the couch and all areas of my pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment. You’re welcome to bring any personal items—beds, blankets, toys, or anything that helps your pet feel more at home—but we also have plenty of toys and treats here for them to enjoy. My two dogs use pee pads during the winter months, but I’m absolutely able to take your dog out for walks if that’s part of their routine. If your pet is also pee-pad trained, that works perfectly for us.

About: We are a family of four: Kristen, Jeff, Vaeda (born May 2025) and Maggi (mini schnauzer rescue). We have a welcoming and fun home & go on hikes often. Maggi is a big scaredy-cat when it comes to humans, but loves to meet new fur friends and can’t wait to meet yours! Your pup will have a friend in her for sure! We are happy to accommodate your pups needs and are excited to get to know their quirks! Our Daughter, Vaeda is also excited to meet your pup, though she’s much to small to play just yet! We keep her and pups at a safe distance always. I (Kristen) work from home most days (1-2 days in office), so your fur baby won’t be left alone for long most days. We are usually home on weekends and tend to go hiking when possible in the area. If your pup loves to walk, we love to bring them along! We usually feed our pup in the mornings and give treats in the evenings when training (Maggi is a work in progress, we love training her new commands)! My husband (Jeff) takes the dog on morning walks, while I (Kristen) take her out after work around 5/6pm. Walks are usually 30 mins to 1 hour in length around the neighbourhood or a nearby park. Whenever possible we are outside on our back deck and Maggi joins us when she’s interested in company. Maggi is a lovely pup and she plays well with other dogs!

About: I offer personalized, one-on-one care that treats your pet like family — not just a client. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, clear communication, and commitment to keeping your pet happy, active, and safe. I specialize in solo walks, drop-ins, and quality time, so your dog gets 100% of my focus every visit. I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m confident with shy or anxious pets, and I always go at your dog’s comfort level — not just the clock. Whether it's leash training, medication administration, or just being a steady presence when you’re away, I'm here to give your pet a calm, trustworthy experience. You’ll get real-time updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands — rain, shine, or snow. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine — not just something I squeeze in. I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to offer morning, midday, and evening walks or visits, including weekends and holidays. Whether you're working long hours, away for a few days, or just need consistent support, I make sure your pet’s care fits seamlessly into their normal routine — and mine. Because I work for myself, I can give your pet focused, dependable attention without rushing. Your pet gets a calm, consistent caregiver every time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting your home, or providing overnight care, I always follow your instructions closely and treat your space and pet with the respect they deserve. I keep routines consistent to help your pet feel secure — same walking routes, feeding times, and comfort rituals. In your home, I’m mindful of keeping doors locked, gates closed, and your pet’s environment clean and stress-free. I never cut corners and always keep a close eye on how your pet is feeling physically and emotionally. I’m calm under pressure, attentive to signs of stress or illness, and always put your pet’s well-being first. You’ll get updates and photos so you always know they’re happy, safe, and loved.

About: I have pet sat for people in my neighborhood and a few friends for quite a few years now! From young puppies to more senior dogs I’ve done it all! I can check in on your dogs during the day to show them some extra love, or take them out for walks when they need it! My schedule is currently wide open so I am very flexible to check in on your pets any time of the day, for a walk or to give them some extra love! When in a clients house I make sure I am very respectful and careful of their things. Only taking treats, leashes, food and things that would be left out for me! I will also make sure to clean up after your pet if anything were to happen as well!

About: I have owned and cared for dogs of all sizes and ages for the past 10 years and have had the privilege of expanding that care to cats over the past 5 years. I am a veterinary technician graduate as of April 2026 and have been working in veterinary clinics over the past 8 years. With my veterinary care background, I am happy to extend my care in administering daily medications that they may be on, nail trims, baths, ear cleanings, and most of all long walks daily! Without sounding exaggerative, pet care is my life. I always put the pets I care for first. If I have day plans or am at work, I make sure I have a plan set to make sure I am there for them and they are not alone for extended lengths of time during the day. I enjoy their company (& I assume they enjoy mine) so I have no issues staying at home, playing with them, and going on multiple walks through out the day. I am currently flexible in my availability as I transition from student life to the working world, but I will update my available schedule when I have it. Feel free to message me if you have any questions, specifications, or dates in mind! I always put myself in my clients shoes when it comes to pet sitting. Trusting a stranger with your pets is HUGE and for some it may be their first time leaving their pets behind. With all of my past sittings, I do "daily updates" through text which includes photos of their pet and what we got up to together. I strongly encourage pet parents to reach out if they are concerned or missing their pet, I'd be happy to send video updates as needed.

About: I've always had a soft spot for all creatures under the sun, and being able to care for a pet, be it mine or someone else's always brings me great joy. I owned a cat for over 17 years (and a hamster and 2 rats in college), I currently have one cat at home and have done drop in visits most of my life to help care for all sorts of pets, from fish, lizards, rabbits, cats, and dogs. I have experience as a live in pet sitter, and while I can't bring pets to my house due to my own little territorial fluff ball, I'm just as happy to care for your pets as though they are my own. As an actor, work isn't always easy to come by, and with my flexible availability and empathetic heart, I think I would make a great companion for your pets when you can't physically be with them. I work in the entertainment industry which can be feast or famine, so I am looking for supplemental income for the foreseeable future! Lots of availability right now :) The care I provide is always based on the needs of the pets! Whether it is my utmost attention or just a nearby presence during naps, making your pet happy and comfortable is always my priority!

About: Hi! I’m Taylor — a professional rugby player currently home in Canada for the summer after living in France and playing overseas. I’m spending the next few months here training, which means I have lots of time, energy, and love to give to dogs! At home, I have a sweet golden retriever and a playful yellow lab who keep me on my toes. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities since I was a child, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m very active and love exploring local trails, parks, and quiet neighborhoods — perfect for long walks or fun playtime with your pup. With my flexible summer schedule, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, or just extra companionship for your furry family member. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved. I’d love to meet you and your pup — feel free to reach out anytime! Pet care easily fits into my flexible summer routine. I’m home in Canada training for rugby, so I have plenty of daytime and evening availability for walks, drop-ins, or playtime. I can work around your dog’s schedule and give them the attention they deserve while you’re away. I care for every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In your home, I’ll respect your space and follow any routines you have in place. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs, whether it’s gentle walks for seniors or active play for energetic pups, always prioritizing their well-being.

About: We have had our furry cat friend for over 8 years now. So about 5 years ago we decided to add our furry dog friend to our family. We have watched family's dogs a few times over night here and there. We're looking forward to meeting new friends! We have a cat who is a little older, so your furry friend must be able to get along with cats. We also have our wonderful, furry dog friend who is about 8 years old now. He can be shy to meet other friends as first but he is very friendly and excited to meet new friends! My husband and I currently work full-time. So we wouldn't be able to host dog or cat friends during the week unless it's summer or holidays when I am off of work. Most weekends are open for us, after 4 pm fridays. We have a very large backyard which is fenced in. We also have an 8 year old daughter who is very helpful when taking care of our pets. She is also very playful with our furry friends as well. Your furry friends must be able to get along with our cat and our dog. Our dog Juno some times has some times when he can be quiet anxious so we are pretty familiar with anxious pets.

Catherine took wonderful care of our cat, Lulu, while we were away. She visited as scheduled, made sure Lulu was fed, and spent plenty of time petting and playing with her. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind knowing Lulu was happy and well cared for. Catherine treated Lulu as if she were her own pet. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Orangeville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Orangeville on Rover is $31.08 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,541 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Orangeville. About 87% of Orangeville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Orangeville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Orangeville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
