Julie is great with Buddy! She has sat with him, given him his meds, walked and played with him. She makes sure I get photos and videos to check in. It’s nice to know there is someone reliable and caring to help with my big, goofy, neurotic dog.

I am so relieved to have found someone who was able to connect with my 20 month old 110 lb white Shepard. Kimba has a traumatic history and I have worked really hard to rehab him mentally since adopting him a few months ago. He immediately took to Anthony and put his fear-based aggression aside. Anthony constantly sent me updates with photos and followed all my requests to keep Kimba on his daily routine. I highly recommend Anthony to care for your dog.

Lauryn is an extremely loving and caring person with animals. When my cat was suffering from a hematoma, they were nothing short of excellent with helping me give care to him. Lauryn is also a cat owner themselves and anytime I have seen them together, their cat has been very affectionate and loving after starting out as a frail and shy cat. My dogs are always happy to see Lauryn, instantly running up to them and waiting eagerly to be scratched and pet. Overall Lauryn is a very responsible, loving, caring person who is very committed to making sure all pets feel loved and cared for.

About: I've taken care of every kind of cats since I was 5. I also have experience with dog care. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. My cat is already 14 years old and he feels great and full of energy. I'm full time student, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 10am. According to the rules of my place of residence, I cannot keep pets. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about it, but I really want to get a cat because I cannot live without them.

John has been taking care of both my cats for the past 5 years intermittently. He is incredible with my animals and I always feel comfortable knowing they are in his safe care. The cats love him and it's great having someone my husband and I can trust to watch our fur babies while we go on vacation/ out of town. I highly recommend John to all my friends/family for their pets as well.
