House Sitting in Orillia

About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I currently look after a senior dog who requires scheduled pee breaks, support with mobility, and two easy going snuggly cats. My experience includes short-term and long stay with both mixed pet homes and single pet homes. Cat care included feeding schedules, litter cleaning, and plenty of lap time. I am comfortable with senior pets, pets with medical needs, and busy multi-pet households. I prioritize routine and attention to their wants. I work online with a deeply flexible schedule, I can interrupte what I do at any moment. Caring for your pets is my privilege and joy. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routine exactly as you set it. I’m a long-time homeowner myself, and I treat your space with the same respect and care I expected in mine. Clear routines & structure • I follow your schedule for feeding, walks, medications, movement support, and bedtime routines. • I confirm details like coat/boot use, leash type, walk length, and whether your dog needs structured play or a run. • I maintain established routines between multiple pets, including safe feeding order and supervised interactions. Home safety & respect • No guests ever enter your home. • I am a quiet, low-impact presence. • Doors are locked, areas of the house you specify are avoided, and I follow your nighttime routine for pee breaks and house security. • I tidy as I go and leave your home as I found it. Pet-specific care details • I confirm treat limits, what behaviour they’re used for, and any food or item that must remain inaccessible. • I ask about any recent food changes, sensitivities, or mobility concerns. • I monitor subtle changes—energy, appetite, bathroom habits—and communicate anything noteworthy. Cleanliness & preparedness • I ask where cleaning supplies, vacuums, or mops are kept in case of spills or accidents. • Litter, food areas, water bowls, and pet spaces are kept clean and consistent. Communication & emergencies • I provide daily updates and will clarify any instruction necessary to ensure accuracy. • I follow your emergency plan, including your preferred veterinarian. • Cameras, alarms, or home-specific systems are respected exactly as directed. My goal is simple: your pets feel secure, your home is respected, and your instructions are followed with precision.

“I would highly recommend Karyn! She stayed with our 2 dogs and 2 cats for 12 days and we couldn’t be happier!”

“Debra cared for 2 family dogs over the Christmas 🎄 season. One was a very active chocolate lab and the second was a blind older dog. Debra was excellent meeting their individual needs. She was prompt, professional and responsive in her communication with us. She shared photos and videos with us which gave us peace of mind, I would highly recommend Debra and look forward to reaching out to here when we require future service.”

“💖Liz was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! It was so reassuring to know that our puppy, Joy,was in such great hands! Liz's T.L.C., including many walks, was so very helpful and a comfort to Joy while we were away. It was the longest we've been away, so to have the peace of mind, offered by Liz, made all the difference! We LOVED the daily updates and photos! Liz even worked on continuing training Joy on the lead and taught her some tricks! Our home was pristine and Liz even washed the bedding and remade the bed! We are so thankful and would highly recommend Liz!!!”

About: I have had dogs for most of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. And have been around and taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I am pretty flexible most of the time, and can handle fairly short notice. I try to pay as much attention to the animals as possible to ensure they are as comfortable as possible and to catch any discomfort. I can do walks, let them outside, and play with them as often as necessary. I have lots of love for animals and want to make them feel as loved and as comfortable as possible.

About: I'm the proud mommy of my Texan rescue pup named Trooper. He is kind and loving and gentle and gets along with other dogs and felines. I have taken care of, basic trained, walked, and nurtured many dogs throughout the years for short & long-term stays. I provide a safe and loving home where they can feel safe, are free to roam, can snuggle on couches & most importantly ,feel like they are at home. I provide full-time availability. 24 hours, 7 days a week. I I'm also happy to accommodate those who do not work the typical 9-5pm. So if you happen to be someone who works shift work and starts late afternoon or the early hours in the morning, I'm happy to accommodate that as well. I treat every pet like family. I work hard to always provide a clean, safe & tidy home on a daily basis. They are free to roam around the house, Play and relax in my fenced backyard, or cozy up on the couch for an afternoon nap.

“Sharon was fabulous with both Stella and Patti. Having the dogs stay at home while we were away reduced stress for everyone. Sharon didn't hesitate to ask a load of questions about care, exercise, common habits and the schedule for the dogs. She provided daily updates and pictures. All went exceptionally well. I would highly recommend Sharon as she took pride and joy in all she did for us.”

About: I've always had pets since I was very little, dogs and cats both, and have pet-sitted quite a bit since then. From bully breeds to kittens, I've had experience with all kinds of animals. I can't wait to meet yours! I'm an online part time student so I have quite a bit of time to spend with your pets, I love the outdoors and the indoors so I'm delighted to spend time with your pet. From the moment that I'm with your pet, it will have my full attention. I'm always careful about flight risks when entering and exiting. When exiting I'm always careful to make sure all exits are closed properly. On walks I tend to stay away from other dogs for your dogs for your dog's safety. I always bring a water bottle and a dish to make sure your dog stays hydrated!

“On time, friendly, professional.”

“We were very happy with Katelyn as our dogsitter in our home during our vacation. She took very good care of our dog Lily and provided us with frequent updates and photos when we were away. We were also quite pleased that our home was neat and tidy when we arrived back home. We would use Katelyn again and recommend her to others as an excellent caregiver for your pet.”

“Emily was absolutely perfect! She came by before our trip to meet our two dogs and took the time to learn about their routines and our home. She was so communicative both before and during our travels, which really put our minds at ease—it was our first time using Rover and leaving our boys with a sitter. From the photos she sent, it was clear our dogs adored her (and honestly didn’t want her to leave when we got back!). We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave them. Thank you, Emily!”

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I currently own a 12 year old Labrador and a 1-year-old Vizsla, so I’m very familiar with both senior care and high-energy dogs. I do multiple walks and runs a day and understand the importance of exercise, routine, and safety. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between, and I always make sure dogs feel cared for, stimulated, and happy while in my care. I am currently in university and work part time. Depending on the time you want I can drop by before, in between and after school. I care for dogs in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow your routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I always make sure your home is secure, your dog is safe, and they receive lots of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve always been the main care giver for all my pets. Walking, bathing, feeding, medicating. Family & friends have always relied on me to let out their pet in times of need. I will treat your pet as my own & give them the care they deserve. ❤️ I’m currently a supply educational assistant for the school board as well as a mom to a 2 year old boy- so I do have some extra time for your pets. I have three doggos of my own—three Frenchies. I can come to your home to feed, walk, or provide any additional care your pet may need. I’m comfortable and confident working with all breeds and sizes.

About: I have had all sort of pets in my life: dogs, birds, turtles, rabbits, cats, etc. The last pet my family had was a German Sheppard that we had for 16 years. I adored him. I would love to take care of your dog or cat in my house or yours. I live in a penthouse downtown Toronto. My place has two terraces and large windows that give a lot of light to the apartment. I love animals and taking care of your pet will be my priority during their stay with me. I walk dogs three times a day unless I receive different instructions. It is adjacent to Stanley park, and both Bellwood park and Fort York park are less than five minutes away. So if your dog needs long walks to burn some energy, these are great places to take your pouch. Let me know what are the food/medication needs of your pet and I will make sure to accommodate them. I know it can be hard to leave your pet with somebody and I will do my best to put your mind at easy that your pet will be well taken care. I will send you photos and regular updates so that you can enjoy your time away. I work remotely so I will be ably to give a lot of time and attention to your dog or cat. Since my work schedule is very flexible I can take your dog for walk and exercise anytime he/she needs it. If your pet needs medications at specific time I will have no problem accommodating your request. My has a fenced backyard where your pet can safely roam. There is a park behind my building which is ideal for dogs since it has an off leash fenced area as well as a leashed area.. I do not have a crate so if you like your pet to be crated at night, you will need to bring your crate. I usually let the pet roam freely in the house.If I take care of your pet in your home, feel confident that your house will be kept safe and clean.

“Remona was fantastic. Our dog and cat were happy and comfortable. They had a great time together, and being comfortable in their own house only helped. Remona took great care, and the house was in great shape. Our dog really enjoyed her walks, and our cat got plenty of love too. It was really wonderful being able to check in an know that everything was OK. We will definitely use Remona the next time we go away! Thank you for your attention, care and help!”

About: Have had 6 dogs and 5 cats over 20 years. I love all animals. My best friend is a groomer and owns a daycare and boarding place in Barrie. I'm currently unemployed, and recently disabled for work. I am available any time all the time. Looking to help others who don't have the same availability for their pets. We have a fenced in yard. I am able to travel and take care at your home if that is more comfortable for your pets. Their comfortability is my number 1 focus.

“Jade took wonderful care of our two dogs and our home when she stayed for overnight dog sitting. She kept in touch quite regularly and sent pictures and video. I felt very comfortable they were safe in her capable hands.”
