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.

Karyn came through for us last minute when our plans changed. Our little dogs can be a handful. Karyn looked after our babies and I think that they looked forward to seeing her every day. Would recommend and will call again if the need arises.

Debra was amazing with my kitten! It was my kittens first time alone and Debra made sure he didn’t escape outside, made sure he was fed and had water, scooped his litter, and gave him some very needed company and play time! Debra is incredibly attentive and communicative, I will absolutely have her come next time I need a pet sitter!

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals. Growing up, I had the joy of caring for Shelties, Golden Retrievers, and Papillons, each teaching me the importance of patience, companionship, and understanding every dog’s unique personality. I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy who is very loved, well-socialized, and has the sweetest, most gentle personality. He is extremely well-behaved and will be starting puppy school in July to continue building his training and manners. My partner is also home and able to help care for him, ensuring every pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, and love. If your pup stays with me, they will be welcomed into a safe, caring, and dog-loving home. I want to be transparent that my puppy may be present during stays, but I always prioritize the comfort and needs of your pet. For walks, your dog will receive one-on-one attention — I will take your pup on their own walk rather than walking multiple dogs together. For drop-ins or visits, my focus will be on giving your pet personalized care, affection, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet will be treated like family here 🐾 I am a teacher and will be off during the months of July and August, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care whenever needed. I have plenty of time to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Starting in September, my availability will depend on whether I accept a teaching position (LTO), but I will always have availability in the evenings and on weekends. I am committed to providing reliable and consistent care and will communicate clearly with each pet parent to make sure your pet’s needs are met. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or visiting them in theirs, I focus on making sure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, clean, and dog-loving environment where they receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and supervision. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I will always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable. My Golden Retriever puppy may be present in my home, but he is extremely friendly, well-behaved, and continuing his training. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines while providing dependable care, companionship, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love. I know pets feel most comfortable with familiarity, so I aim to keep their normal schedule and environment as consistent as possible. I will always communicate with pet parents, provide updates, and make sure you feel confident knowing your furry family member is safe and cared for while you’re away. 🐾

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats from a very early age. Caring for them has always been a meaningful part of my life, so having animals around has always felt natural to me and taught me that every animal is unique and deserves consistency, attention, and genuine care so they feel happy, relaxed and loved even when you’re not around. I treat every dog or cat like they are my own. Since I’m retired, my schedule is very flexible, which means I can spend quality time with your pets throughout the day. I truly enjoy incorporating their care into my routine and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I look after your pets right in their own home, where they’re happiest. I stick to their normal routine and give them lots of attention, playtime, and affection. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have had cats for the last 15 years. Every member of my family has had dogs and I used to dog sit for most of them as well as dog sit my dad's coworkers golden retriever for one month every summer for about 5 years. I Have family friends that are veterinarians that have taught me a lot about pet care growing up. Was the sole dog walker and groomer in the family and have also trained my puppies. All of my pets have lived into their senior years so I am very well aware of specialized senior care and can confidently give medication. I am also well versed in rescuing animals and understand the intricate feeding schedules and cleaning for very young pets. I am self employed so I have LOTS of time to play with your pets! I can schedule around most things to make it more convenient for you and your pets! I care for your pets in your home/ yard and will walk in your neighborhood since that is where your pet is most comfortable. If there are any other pets / people they are not friendly with please let me know as well as any special needs/diets I need to worry about.

About: I grew up in charge of my family dogs daily chores such as walking, feeding, grooming and giving monthly medications. I also helped out family members and close neighbours with their pets when they went on vacation. I have 6 year old Siberian husky who I rescued at 8 months, he’s now 6 and the best boy thanks to daily training, walks and structure. I have done pet first aid training, and take my first aid kit with me everywhere! I’ve had lots of exposure to many different dog breeds and dog behaviours while working at a dog friendly cafe for three years. I’m available Monday through Friday 7am-5pm, I also offer some weeknight and weekend availability. Weekends are filling up quickly, contact me to secure your pets spot! I understand pets feel safest in their own home and environment which is why I offer walks and visits in your home. I want to give your pets the same love, care and affection as you would. I’m dedicated to ensure your pet has a positive experience every time I visit :)

Just back from another trip and so glad to have had Debra to come and take care of my kitties while I was away. I have so much peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. I also appreciate the excellent communication I have with Debra. Right from the moment of booking, she is always quick to reply and confirm, and the updates and photos she sends while I am away are much appreciated. She has also been so accommodating when, like on this trip, my travel plans have had to be tweaked last minute. Thanks so much Debra… you’re the best!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Orillia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Orillia on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 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 519 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Orillia. About 87% of Orillia 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 Orillia 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 Orillia 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:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
