“I reached out to Debra at practically the last minute when a cat sitting arrangement I had made for my vacation fell through. Debra responded immediately and agreed to take my kittens on. She was warm and friendly, both to my kittens and myself. Her communication was excellent and she provided me with thorough updates and adorable photos and videos every day. I sensed from the moment I met Debra that my kittens would be in safe hands and she proved to be as reliable as I had predicted she would be. I would highly recommend Debra and look forward to working with her again.”
“BJ was absolutely amazing!! Goose seemed to not even notice we were gone for the weekend. I loved all the pictures posted in our chat. Even handing the keys off at the end was awesome, we couldn’t stop chatting ☺️ We will definitely be booking with her again when we go away next. 10/10 ⭐️”
“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.”
About: My wife says I'm a Disney princess because animals follow me home. I love animals I'm patient and kind I've had animals all my life and I would not have it any other way. I work continental shifts so I have days off regularly in the middle of the week with lots of free time to hang out with dogs and cats. We do not deserve animals they must be treated with the upmost respect and love. They are better than all of us. I would put an animal's needs before my own.
“Jenny was amazing!! She’s a great communicator and cares a lot about animals. I’m so glad she was able to care for my two cats! I came home and they were very happy and relaxed. Thanks Jenny!!”
About: I have worked in the animal industry for a decade, with experience at various veterinary hospitals, a pet boarding facility, and cattle farms. I have been pet-sitting/using Rover since 2019, in both Ontario and Alberta. Intermittently as my schedule permits. I have my BSc honours in Animal Biology. With my extensive experience and education, you can rest assured that your pets are safe & in capable hands. I can use my knowledgeable about animal behaviour to create a calm and loving environment, and give each pet the unique affection and stimulation that they need. My dog, Nahla, is 20 lbs / 6 yrs, and loves other dogs and cats. She will happily zoom around if riled up, but spends most of her time snoozing on blankets. The submissive type, cares more for people. Each pet I care for is treated with just as much attention and respect as my own! If you have any questions at all don't hesitate to ask :) I am currently finishing my postgraduate degree and have class about 20 hours per week. I am quite flexible for walk days and times. For the rest of 2026, unfortunately I do not have consistent/recurring full days available for day-care. If you are looking for one-offs, please still feel free to reach out. I live on the upper floor of a duplex, with carpeted stairs, a sunny spot under the skylight, and loads of treats. There is an unfenced grass yard for shorter potty breaks, but we walk around the community or trails daily. You can trust that your dog will enjoy the perfect day of fun and snuggles.
“Ann is a fantastic sitter! She goes above and beyond each visit. She pays close attention and will notify you of any changes in behavior, appetite, etc. She can handle providing medications. Highly recommend that everyone book Ann.”

Most importantly, I strive to provide you with peace of mind, by treating your cherished member of the family the way you do – with unconditional love! I am currently engaged in various projects as an independent contractor. Since all of my work is done remotely and on adaptable timeframes, I am easily able to prioritize your pet care needs into my flexible schedule. In the past I have traveled both nationally and internationally to provide pet care. I am proud of the trust that has been placed in me by many clients, many of whom have repeatedly used my services for years. I take the responsibility of caring for your loved one(s), as well as your home, very seriously and will treat both with utmost respect and thoughtfulness. Having also provided house care services over the years, I have the added bonus of understanding unexpected maintenance needs that may arise in your home during your absence.
About: Now that I’m home for the summer I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends. I live with two cats and one energetic puppy. My qualification list is extensive, as I have plenty of experience in pet sitting and walking, as well as experience working in a Veterinary office. I’m currently working part time and my shifts end around noon so my schedule is very flexible. I have lots of free time to spend with your pet and I spend lots of time at home so they will never feel alone. I have a large fenced yard to take pets out to run around and use the bathroom. I live in a large, clean, safe, and pet friendly household. Your pet will get plenty of attention and plenty of love here.
About: As a proud dog mom with six years of pet care experience, I know firsthand how much our furry family members mean to us! I have a three-year-old golden retriever of my own and truly enjoy spending time with dogs, getting to know their unique personalities, and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, which is why I want every owner to feel confident that their dog is in good hands, whether it’s for a walk, a quick visit, or an extended stay. I treat every dog as if they were my own and take the time to learn about their individual needs, preferences, and routines to ensure they receive the best possible care. As a registered nurse, I bring the same attentiveness, patience, and sense of responsibility to caring for animals that I do to my professional work. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care, while giving you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving the love and attention they deserve! Caring for dogs is already a big part of our daily routine! I work part-time as a registered nurse, and when I'm not at work, I love spending time with our golden retriever, whether we're enjoying hikes and walks, playing outside, or relaxing at home. My husband works from home, so someone is available throughout the day to provide regular bathroom breaks, companionship, and plenty of attention to our boarding guests. We're available for boarding seven days a week and are happy to accommodate both short visits and extended stays. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits, with availability around my work schedule. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities! We live in a welcoming and clean home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised, off-leash playtime and regular bathroom breaks. We share our home with our three-year-old, neutered male golden retriever, who enjoys playing and socializing with other dogs. Before accepting a new boarding guest, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is comfortable and gets along well. Visiting dogs are treated like part of the family and are welcome on our furniture and beds. They're free to sleep wherever they feel most comfortable, and we have the ability to provide separate spaces when needed. To help keep everyone safe and happy, I follow each owner's care instructions, supervise interactions between dogs, and provide separate feeding areas. When providing dog walking or drop-in visits, I take the same thoughtful approach to caring for your dog. I follow your instructions, respect your home, and ensure your dog receives the attention and care they're accustomed to in their own environment. Whether your dog is staying with us or I'm caring for them in their own home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands!
“Danielle is great! She took care of both our cat and our dog while we were away at our wedding. Our dog loved her stay. Danielle was also sure to send plenty of photos so that we wouldn’t miss our fur babies too much.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through overnight stays, drop-in visits and dog walking. I’ve cared for pets with many different personalities, from energetic and playful to shy, nervous and anxious. I’m patient and take the time to let each pet become comfortable with me at their own pace. I follow their regular routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime and lots of love and attention. I especially love seeing a shy/anxious pet begin to trust me and become my little shadow. Building relationships with pets and having families trust me to care for them again is one of my favourite parts of pet sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a kindergarten educator, I’m available for morning visits before work, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays during the school year. During the summer, I have much greater flexibility and am available throughout the day, allowing me to accommodate a wider range of schedules and your pet’s routine. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and loving care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where they can maintain their familiar routine and surroundings. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so I can provide calm, personalized care tailored to them. Before any booking, I offer a free Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and ensure we’re the right fit for one another. I also ask all pet parents to complete a detailed intake form, which helps me learn about your pet’s routine, medical needs, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible. For dog walking clients, I also like to do a short practice walk so your dog can get comfortable with me before our first scheduled walk. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands.

My Shih Tzu is on daily medication for seizures so I understand the responsibility and importance of making sure medications is administered consistently and properly. I was a PSW, but I am taking some time off to see if can start a career in animal care. My schedule is open with lots of time to give attention to your animal.

I also have two children aged 12 and 9 who love to play with your animal to keep them happy. I would feed the animals as per the animals usual schedule. If you have any concerns or questions feel free to ask.

About: Mess with my animals; you mess with me. I am a fierce animal advocate/rescuer (Team Chelsea Volunteer). I am also a pet groomer in training. Animal care & welfare is important to me. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. My days are flexible. Currently, I have 3 of my own dogs (very friendly and playful) and one Sr. cat (Luna is a bit of a wild-child; typical of Tuxedo female cats; she stays upstairs in her safe place; either on my bed or on her cat tree). I have also made Luna a treehouse in the backyard tucked safely inside of a mulberry tree. I have a fenced yard and my home is quite frankly a safe haven for animals. I just live here. Their happiness and comfort is my priority.
About: I've cared for animals since I was a kid. From early morning walks to baths and meals, I have pet-sat for neighbours, friends and family for many years. Most recently I boarded a pet pig. I'm currently working as a freelancer remotely from my home. I am available any day or time of the week and can give your pet the care and attention it deserves. I have a spacious house and tree-lined yard - so location and timing are flexible. I have a car and will come to your residence if needed.
“Marilyn saved the day while we were away on our vacation - our kitty sitter was unable to make it and Marilyn stepped in as soon as I contacted her. She went above and beyond, leaving us to enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Marilyn's reliable services! Thank you!!”

BJ was absolutely amazing!! Goose seemed to not even notice we were gone for the weekend. I loved all the pictures posted in our chat. Even handing the keys off at the end was awesome, we couldn’t stop chatting ☺️ We will definitely be booking with her again when we go away next. 10/10 ⭐️
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 Pet Sitting - Orillia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Orillia is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $49 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 510 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Orillia. About 85% 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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
