“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!”

“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.”

“Lee was very attentive with the pups and went above and beyond! The pups had a great time. I was updated constantly and Lee responded very quickly to any questions or concerns I had.”
About: I’ve been fostering dogs for over 10 years (hundreds of dogs at this point), adult dogs, seniors, whelping moms, and (my personal favourite) puppies. I also have three dogs and a cat of my own, so my life is basically one big fur party. I’ve worked with high-energy pups, reactive dogs, and those with quirky personalities that need a little extra patience and love. From basic training to helping shy or nervous dogs feel comfortable, I make sure every pet I care for feels safe, happy, and understood. Whether it’s a quick drop in or a long walk, your pet will get all the cuddles, playtime, and attention they deserve. I am currently available during the day before 2:00 pm and after 6:00 pm and some weekends. We can absolutely discuss different times and schedules if needed. I am comfortable with walking, playing with, basic training like working on potty training, lounging and cuddles and helping your pup back into their crate.
About: Through the years I have had several pets of all varieties (cats, dogs, reptiles) I have also volunteered extensively with humane societies and even worked at PetSmart for a year! I am currently looking for some work and I can’t imagine a better job than taking care of your animals and making sure they’re okay when you’re gone :) I’m providing services to cats, dogs, and reptiles. Services include: pet sitting, dog walking, vibing with the reptiles 🦎 I am available pretty much 24/7 and am looking for either full or part time work. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting my new friend! Currently not working - available whenever you need me to care for your furry, feathered, or scaley friends - I can’t wait to meet you and them! :) I care for pets in the clients home. I have experience working with cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles, you name it. I have fully open availability so shoot me a message if you need some help with pet care :)
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: 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.
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!
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 :)
About: First and foremost, I have 2 adorable fur-babies, Dozer and Aspen. I had the unique experience of training and raising them all the while travelling for work; both of my dogs have spent most of their lives exploring and meeting friends all over Canada & the USA with my husband and I! Aside from my own pups, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets for many years, both dogs and cats. From walks and drop ins to house sitting and cat care, I have the experience you expect to ensure that your pets are cared for and loved in your absence. I understand the importance of special dietary requirements and the complexity of caring for a dog with anxiety. At age 14, I got my first "real" job to support my own pet cat, Fluffy; I've also had a bearded dragon, a rescued Northern Blue-Tongued skink & a pair of leopard geckos, as well as several hamsters, gerbils and beta fish as pets! Now that I’ve left the heavy haul industry and am home full time, I’m excited to focus my time and energy on caring for and loving on your pets. When not doing walks and drop ins, I've recently started working alongside my Mother-in-Law at her in-home pet grooming business – further surrounding myself with 4-legged friends. Now that I have left the open road behind, but with my husband still being on the road as a long-haul truck driver, my schedule and routine is reasonably flexible and I am able to schedule walks and drop ins seamlessly throughout all 7 days of the week with minimal conflict. Currently, I only offer walks and drop in visits. While both of my dogs are very friendly, social and would love to make new furry friends, my goal is to always ensure the safety and comfort of your pet(s). My pups will be left at home (unless explicitly discussed beforehand) to allow me to give my full, undivided attention to your pet. Transparency and your trust in me is important and I want to be an extension of your routine to simply fill the gap in your absence. I respect that families and their pets have varying routines and needs, and that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work.
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.
About: I have taken excellent care of pets for friends, family members and clients since I was 14 years old. I have also had pets of my own (dogs, cats, fish, bunnies) that have provided me a lot of knowledge around how to best take care of different animals at all stages of life. While I do work 8:00-4:00 during the week. I partner with my sister to ensure that I can provide the best care possible with her stopping in during the day if required. As a pet sitter, my priority is providing a safe, loving environment where your pets feel at ease. You can trust that I'll treat them with the same care and attention as if they were my own. Your pet's well-being and comfort are my top concern, always
“Jayne helped us out very last minute on Christmas Day to go check on our cat while we were snowed in up North. We were able to chat back and forth while she was there and I was happy to know my cat was getting some attention and care. Definitely happy with Jayne’s pet services :)”

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 ⭐️

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.

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!

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.
