We (both humans and dogs) adore Billie. The pups got so much love that they barely noticed when we returned after a week 🤣. We got photo updates every day and lovely check-ins throughout our vacation. This was our first time booking with Billie and we will definitely use her again! So nice to trust that our fur babies are well taken care of while we're away.

Selena took care of our pup on short notice and did a great job! She made us feel super comfortable by meeting us/our dog a few times before we left for our trip. She sent photos every day and our usually shy pup warmed up pretty quickly!

Steve and Wanda have been “baby sitting” my animals for a few times now but never as long as this trip we took for more than 30 days. They were awesome and looked after our animals as their own and also lived in our home and looked after everything like we would do ourselves. My neighbours will miss them I think … lol! They are definitely part of our community and I will ask them to look after my animals over and over as long as they can. Thank you Steve and Wanda for the way you leave my home, it is a pleasure returning and everything and everyone is happy and just great. I can recommend Steve and Wanda if you would like peace of mind that your animals will be loved and looked after like yourself. I am so grateful to them, thank you!

About: I will love your pets like my own. Leaving our pets behind while we travel is stressful enough, leave them with someone who's going to love them like you would if you were there. I believe sticking to the routines and schedules you have established for them is important for helping the time move quicker for them while you're away. I have no issues following detailed instructions and making sure their time away from you is filled with love and routine. I work Monday - Friday 7am-3pm and I am off on the weekends. I am available after those hours and on the weekend I work around my schedule I try to always do in the client homes because it is less disruptive to the animal and it keeps them on the same routine.

Grace was amazing with my babies! She stayed in constant communication with me and sent me lots of updates and pictures. My dogs are a bit high maintenance but my mind was at ease knowing my babies were safe and cared for! I will for sure be using her again. Thank you Grace!

And she showed up and left when she said she would. Very much appreciate her consciousness and kindness when caring for my baby!! I would trust her in my home again anytime

About: Hi, I'm Michelle ~ Experienced nanny, sitter and animal lover! Two decades plus experience caring for families and animals. Experienced in dog walking, schedules, animal feedings and house sitting. A lil background about me ~ I am a retired elementary teacher switching careers into Counseling/Therapy, starting school this Fall 2026. My partner and I have a sweet labradoodle named Bliss and and a plump elderly cat named Elvira. We have rescued and cared for dogs and 4 plus cats together. I have a huge heart for elderly cats/dogs and those that are shy of personality. Let me know if your animal takes time to warm up! I am patient, compassionate and a natural caretaker at heart. Alternatively, I love the playful and outgoing ones too! I have experience in administering medications also, especially with Elderly or finicky cats as I have cared for many of my own. My schedule is open and flexible at this time. My lifestyle has allowed for me to maintain a pretty open schedule and take work as needed. I also work part time nannying positions, but this should not interfere with scheduling. I will be traveling to your location to care for your animals. Services include: cat sitting, dog sitting, drop ins, dog walking, house sitting and administering medications if needed. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

Brendle was delightful and our 2 dogs had the best time with her. She hung out with them for 5 hours while we went to watch our son’s championship game. Brendle took them on a 2 mile hike, played ball at the park, and they were thoroughly and happily exhausted at the end of her stay. I cannot say enough nice things about Brendle! She is a gem!

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate time, and basic grooming. I’m patient, attentive, and I’ll send regular updates so you always know how your pup is doing I have a very randomly organized schedule because I am a travel nurse that works night shift. So I am available most of the time during the day Whether in my home or yours, I focus on safety and structure. I follow your written instructions, keep pets on-leash outside unfenced areas, and make sure doors and gates stay secure. I’m mindful about feeding, treats, and household hazards, and I’m happy to do meet-and-greets for comfort and fit.

Sydney and her roommate Kirsten did an amazing job watching our pup and cats while we were away for the weekend! They were available on short notice. They sent daily photos and updates which kept us at ease while we were away from our pup! I would definitely recommend both Sydney and Kirsten to anyone looking for a sitter! We will definitely reach out again to watch our pets!
