Pet Sitting Orillia

“Mary is a true cat lover. She also cares very much about the experience of both my cat and myself she went above and beyond several times as I tried to navigate my new cats habits. She will be my cat sitter from now on because I could tell she cares.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities since I was a child as we always grew up with a dog in the house. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. Now that I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision and a calm, loving environment and your dog will have company with me and my dogs, Juniper and Coco. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, offering calm companionship, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection. I understand how important routine and patience are, and I always treat pets as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone. I’m happy to provide photo updates and follow any specific care instructions. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work remote as an entrepreneur, and there are always multiple people present in the house throughout the day, pets are never left unattended and always have care, supervision, and companionship. This allows for frequent potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, and supervision. I’m available for boarding and care on weekends as well as weekdays, and I make sure each dog’s routine is followed closely. I provide a safe, calm, and well-supervised environment for pets in my care. I have a fully fenced balcony for supervised outdoor time and dogs who are accustomed to being around other pets. Introductions are done slowly, and interactions are always monitored. With multiple adults at home—including retired family members and another work-from-home adult—there is constant, around-the-clock care and attention. I can crate dogs if needed and strictly follow feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. Cleanliness, supervision, and communication are top priorities, and every pet is treated like family.

“Nhan has been my go to sitter for my cats. His updates are detailed and he takes a good number of photos of my cats. Thanks Nhan for your help :)”

About: Experienced and dependable pet sitter with a lifelong background in animal care, having owned and cared for small to medium-sized pets since age 6. I’ve provided pet sitting for family members’ large dogs and cats, handling feeding, playtime, and daily routines with care and attention. I also have hands-on experience raising kittens from just days old, including bottle feeding and monitoring their health. I genuinely love working with animals—especially fluffy ones—and prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I am currently seeking pet sitting opportunities and have a flexible schedule during the week, allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs, including visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I work all day Saturday, Sunday, and wednesday; I work half days Monday and Tuesday and I am off thursday and Friday. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize creating positive, calm interactions—whether that’s playing, comforting anxious pets, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or any messes, and giving them attention through playtime, petting, or quiet companionship depending on their personality. I also make sure doors, gates, and safety areas are secure before leaving.

“Excellent care for my cat while I was on vacation. Very communicative and followed all instructions. Really appreciate it and highly recommend!”

About: Hello, I’m Jan! As the dog mom of two precious high energy dogs , I believe that a tired dog is a happy dog! ( & happy owner ) i would love to give your pup the perfect mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection while you are busy or away. If your dog is a high energy pup who loves a long walk & a game of fetch or a senior dog who prefers a gentle sniff and walk to explore the neighborhood, I am available to tailor every outing to their unique pace and personality. I am a NICU nurse who works long shifts and completely understands the trouble of leaving your dog alone for a while and would love to help others with that burden & dog parent guilt :-) I have a predictable work schedule up to 6 weeks in advance which makes it easy to work around other people’s schedule! I enjoy spending time outside ( even in the rainy season ) so I’m available pretty much all day on my days off from work! I personally have reactive dogs so safety is always my absolute priority. During walks I keep the dog on a secure, standard leash (no retractables for safety) and maintain full situational awareness of our surroundings. I never allow strange dogs to approach. For house visits, I double check that all doors and gates are securely locked when entering and leaving, and I always ensure your pet has fresh water and a safe space to relax before I depart. As a NICU nurse I am able to stay calm and act immediately In the rare event of an emergency My first step is to secure the pet to prevent further risk or injury. You will immediately be contacted as well as your preferred veterinarian. If it is a time sensitive issue, I will contact Rover's 24/7 Trust & Safety Support team for immediate backup and vet guidance while keeping you updated every step of the way.

About: I have been working with animals my entire life. I went to college for veterinary medicine and in my free time, I helped train service dogs. I've worked with every kind of animal and every age! From livestock, to dogs, to exotic animals - I've worked with them all! I work part time, so I have plenty of time for your pets needs! Most of my work can also be done from home and picked up on an as needed basis. I have a fenced yard, a dog, and 2 cats that are very used to every kind of pet. My dog is extremely friendly and always ready to play with a friend! I will always make sure to leave your space clean and your pet cared for.

About: At home, I’ve got a senior papillon (small dog) mix and a senior short hair cat. We just lost our oldest cat at the ripe age of 20 years old, so I’ve got some extra love to dote on your pets these days. I have special experience with senior pets and especially cats with diabetes and cancer. Both our cats were diabetic and I know about all their special care needs from blood glucose testing and insulin administration to their special requirements for diet, water intake, and litter box use. Our 15-year-old cat has cancer and I'm trained in administering oral chemo therapy with all of its specific handling requirements. It's hard enough to be away from your pets, but with conditions like these, it can make travel feel nearly impossible. I'm ready to put my experience to work for you, so you can rest assured that your babies will be well-cared for and that their special needs will be taken care of by someone with experience. I am available in the mornings, evenings, and overnight seven days a week. I'm frequently available for bonus midday visits on weekdays as well. I’ll take care of your pets in the space they know best and feel safest - their own home. I'll provide pictures and/or videos to the pet parents so that they can see that their pets are safe and happy. While at your home, I can also take on any plant watering schedules you might have.

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

“Stephanie did a fantastic job taking care of our puppy for drop in care. She even let our other less needy dog out and spent some time training the puppy during the visits. We plan to request her again for drop in and overnight care. Very pleased!”

About: I've pet sat for a few family members for as long as they've needed a sitter for. I also have my own animal currently and grew up with many animals in the household. I'm good at doing the specifics if your pet needs meds, has a specific diet, or needs special care. Just give me a list and I'll do whatever is needed. I can work my schedule around what you need, just ask and I'll see what I can do! I can work anywhere between 6am and 10pm unless I'm house sitting, then that's 24 hrs if needed. I have a small fenced yard and a cat if you want the Fur baby to stay with me, or if I care for them at yours, just leave me a list, and I'll do whatever is needed!

“This is our second time booking Dan and he did a great job again. The cats were well cared for and he's good about keeping us updated on them and the house. Would absolutely hire again.”

Katherine L.

“My first using Megan for a puppy drop in visit and I’ll be booking her again.”

“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!!”

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 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.
