About: Hi! I'm Shirley, a passionate animal lover who believes every walk should be an adventure. Whether your pup loves a brisk walk, extra sniffing time, or plenty of belly rubs, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and excited to get to know your furry family member. I can't wait to meet your best friend and become their new favorite walking buddy! I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. They won't be left alone for long periods and will receive regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home while you're away. In my home, your pet will be treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy outdoor time, along with plenty of playtime, attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. I'll follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and at home. For drop-in visits or care in your home, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need during each visit. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, lots of love and attention, and, of course, plenty of cuddles if they enjoy them. I'll also follow any specific instructions you provide and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

“Brooke is wonderful with our cat and always takes such great care of him. He is very shy and takes some time to warm up, but Brooke is incredibly patient and understanding with him. She never rushes him and always makes sure he feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. She is dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring, and she always goes the extra mile to make sure he is happy and well looked after. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. We’re incredibly grateful for the love, patience, and attention she gives him and would wholeheartedly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional pet sitter!”

About: I've had family pets since I was a child and gravitate towards dogs as an adult. I learned a lot about dog training as a puppy raiser for a service dog organization, in this role I fostered and trained a service puppy for a year! I love being in the outdoors and will often take dogs out on hikes or mountain bike rides. I work full-time, but only in the evenings and occasional weekends. My partner works a normal 9-5 so generally a dog would not be alone longer than 4-5 hours. We have a small/medium sized fenced-in backyard for play and potty breaks. I understand it can be anxiety inducing to leave your pup with a stranger, so I will communicate with daily updates/photos/videos to let you know how it's going. When pups are left alone I want them to be safe, especially being in a new space, so I will use a crate if that's something they are used to. I am fine with other arrangements too if you feel it is safe to do so.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 17, and over the years I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. From daily walks to overnight sitting, I’m used to being a consistent and reliable presence in a pet’s routine. I’m also comfortable giving medications and supporting both young and senior dogs with different needs. I especially love working with puppies! That’s really where my heart is. I use positive reinforcement, routine, and clear (but gentle) boundary setting, and I take the time to understand each pup’s personality so I can adapt to them, not the other way around. I want pets to feel happy in their environment, not just managed, and my ultimate goal is for everyone involved, pets and humans, to feel supported in the way they need to thrive. My background is in social work, which really shapes how I show up with animals too: patient, attentive, and tuned into emotional and behavioral needs. In my free time, I love reading across every genre and learning about astrology, so I bring a calm, curious, and intuitive energy into the care I provide. I work independently and by contract, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m usually available for in-home pet sitting with as little as two days’ notice. Having WiFi in your home makes it easy for me to take care of a few light work commitments during the week (Mon–Thurs), while still being fully present and attentive with your pet. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating an environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s habits, preferences, and personality so I can adapt my care to what makes them feel most comfortable and secure. I prioritize consistency with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest, and I use positive reinforcement and gentle boundaries, especially with puppies and high-energy dogs. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels, and I adjust throughout the day to meet their needs — whether that means extra play, quiet companionship, or more structured activity. I also believe communication and preparation are key. I ask that all emergency contacts, vet information, and care instructions are shared ahead of time, and I strongly prefer a meet and greet before booking. This helps ensure I’m a good fit for your pet’s specific needs and that everyone feels comfortable and confident moving forward. Overall, my goal is for pets to feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I want their time with me to feel calm, familiar, and loving, so both pets and their humans can feel at ease

About: My biggest wish as a kid was to own a big dog, I now have 4 huskies (40-80lbs) and a chihuahua. I have 8 years with them now and have seen it all. I have learned all about their body language and how they communicate. Ill be comfortable even if you have a reactive dog. we can work together if they are in training. I am an early bird. I'm up at 5, ready scripture, walk my dogs and ready by 7am. Now that my kid is in school I'm free till 3 pm I have experience with heavy pullers, if your dog pulls its no biggie to me. I can take my time for the dogs that like to smell and/or run if you have a puppy with energy!

About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for animals, and being around pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, and when I didn’t have one of my own, I was the person friends, family, and neighbors relied on to care for theirs. My experience includes caring for both large and small dog breeds, each with their own personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also cared for rabbits and horses and spent several summers on a farm, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals and teaching me the importance of patience, consistency, and responsible care. In addition, my brother is a professional dog trainer, which has given me valuable insight into dog behavior, communication, and positive handling techniques. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve learned practical skills that help me understand dogs and create a calm, safe environment for them. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of attention, and lots of love while you’re away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else takes trust. My goal is to treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. I’m currently pretty flexible, and starting in September, I’ll mainly be available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My schedule can vary from time to time, but I’ll always keep my availability updated and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I try to make every pet feel as comfortable as possible by sticking to the routine they’re used to. Every dog is different, so I always ask about their schedule, personality, and any special instructions before I start caring for them. If I’m working that day, I always make sure we get a good walk in before I leave. It’s a great way for them to use the bathroom, burn off some energy, and start the day on a positive note. I usually aim for at least a 30-minute walk. When I get home, we head back outside for another potty break and walk. Depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and what they enjoy, our walk might be 30 minutes or it could turn into a longer walk around the neighborhood. Before bed, I always take them out one last time so they’re comfortable for the night. I follow whatever feeding schedule you already have in place, whether that’s in the morning, afternoon, or evening. I know pets thrive on routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, affection, fresh water, and lots of love. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands.

About: Hi there! I’m a passionate dog owner and lover who knows firsthand just how much your pup means to you, because mine mean everything to me. With my own dog at home, I understand the importance of trust, routine, and genuinely connecting with every dog I care for. I’m active, outdoorsy, and especially great with high-energy dogs who need more than just a quick potty break. Whether it’s a brisk walk through the neighborhood or a drop-in visit to break up their day, I bring the same enthusiasm and attentiveness every single time. I’m a details person. Every dog is different, and I truly mean it when I say no instruction is too small. Have a pup with food allergies, a specific leash routine, or certain triggers I should know about? Tell me everything. The more I know about your dog’s quirks, preferences, and needs, the better I can care for them exactly the way you would. Here’s what you can count on from me: • Reliability - I show up when I say I will, every time • Attentiveness - I pay close attention to each dog’s mood, behavior, and individual needs • Communication - Expect updates and photos so you always know your pup is happy and thriving • Detail-oriented care - Your instructions won’t just be noted, they’ll be followed to the letter • A dog-first mindset - Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority I’d love to meet your furry family member! Feel free to reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet. I always recommend one before our first booking so your dog and I can get acquainted on their terms. I work from home full time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can be fully present for your pet’s care. I prefer at least a week’s notice before booking to make sure I can give your pup the attention they deserve. My attention to detail means every instruction you give me will be followed carefully and consistently. Before any booking, I encourage you to share any triggers, fears, or allergies your dog may have, no detail is too small. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority, and I treat every home and every pup with the same respect and care I’d want for my own dogs.

“Stephanie is so reliable and awesome with our 3 dogs and cat. I had a last minute trip invite and she was able to accommodate our daily feeding, potty and water break check in while my husband was at work. Stephanie always goes over and above by spending time playing fetch with the pups for most of the visit even in the rain then swiffered the tracked in wetness before leaving. I loved seeing the pics she sent us of each fur baby as well. I highly recommended Stephanie and her Rover services 100%. Thanks!!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Orillia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
