“Jamie took good care of our boy while we visited the nearby distilleries. She sent photos at each visit and let us know he was having a good day while we were out.”

“Hannah was a joy. She's very much an animal lover! I was quite comforted while away that she was checking on my baby and had no problems with what I needed for her to do. I would be a positive reference for her.”

“Morgan is awesome! My dogs LOVED her. She was on time and even thoughtful enough to come slightly earlier than scheduled because it was going to rain and she didn’t want them to track mud through the house from running around the yard in the rain. I will definitely be booking her again! 5 stars! Thank you Morgan!”

“Sabine is very dependable and my dogs loved her. My dogs can be barky and jumpy and she handled them with ease and understanding. On a visit to let out my dogs, it was raining and Sabine went out (with no overhead coverage) and coaxed my dogs to go out. I was very grateful she went through that effort since I wasn’t able to return for hours later and felt great knowing if they had to go they would. After she left, I think they waited by the front door hoping she’d come back. Greatly appreciate her!”

“Maddie was a wonderful dog sitter for us! She was able to accept our booking last-minute when our usual sitter wasn't available for a trip. Our dog immediately liked her and I could tell he didn't miss us when we were gone! She was very thoughtful with our 2 cats too even though we only booked her for the dog, and very respectful of our home as well. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Madeline- definitely worth booking for your pet!”

“Fantastic, had to book last minute and he saved us from cancelling our trip. Also cleaned up my dogs mess when she puked instead of leaving it like most do. Very much appreciated.”

“Julie and Elijah and family are the best and dealing with Rover is very easy and a great value. I’m spoiled by the care Ava gets when they care for her and I know she loves them also. I highly recommend Julie for all your pet or house sitting needs. Thanks for everything. Tom n Lisa & Ava 🙏❤️”

About: I’ve fostered animals of all sizes and phases of life throughout the years from my local shelter as well as friends and family. Your pet is sure to be in the best of hands and thoroughly cared for 🥰 My schedule is very flexible. I have two children in school with shared custody so whatever your pet needs are, I can most likely accommodate - including weekends :o) Building trust and security with your pet is essential for quality care, which is my focus. I want to ensure that your pet has the most comfort and low-stress environment in your absence. Maintaining routines and schedules, patient introductions when needed, and lots of love and attention when wanted. Your pet is considered my own while in my supervision and will be treated with the utmost care ♥️
“Kaitlin did an awesome job with our 2 dogs. She went above and beyond when one of our dogs made a mess and cleaned up. Will definitely use again if the we need any more help Thanks Kat”

She also is very trustworthy. We will use her again & again. You can’t go wrong with getting her to take care of your babies. ♥️”

“Tabatha did an amazing job with our 4 wild child dogs. They all loved her, everything looked fantastic when we got home and she did a great job of keeping us updated on them while we were out of town. We will absolutely use her again the next time we're out of town.”

About: I’m currently not in a place to have a pet of my own but I love helping friends and family take care of theirs. This also means I can give all my love and attention your fur babies I do have a job but I will most definitely have an enough time to take care of and play, cuddle with your fur babies. I will keep my eyes on your fur babies at all times to ensure they aren’t getting into any trouble and are safe. I will follow all instructions regarding your fur baby
“Miranda is wonderful! She was very responsive to my messages, sent tons of adorable pictures of my cats, and went above and beyond my expectations by bringing cute toys for the kitties to play with and vacuuming the area around the litter box. I highly recommend booking her to care for your pets.”

About: I’ve owned dogs for 20 years or more, but not really counting anymore :) . Potty, and obedience training. Also owned a bird, reptile and fish. I bring a good energy so animals and I jive really well. I currently work part time with flexible hours and so I will be able to have the time during the week or weekend for your animals needs. My dogs are indoor outdoor dogs with fenced in yard. We do have kennels, but we do not use them but if I need to use them for your puppy, I would not mind doing that as well. My dogs do well with other dogs and if your dog has anxiety, then I can always keep them separate.
About: I’m an animal lover, vegan, and environmentalist with a passion for compassion! I can hardly remember a time when I have NOT had a pet. I have dog and cat sat for a house with 7 cats and dogs multiple times, so I’ve become accustomed to the temperament of pets. Nothing brings me joy like having a furry friend to accompany me on a walk around town. I am an attentive pedestrian and I know the rules of the road as a driver as well as on the sidewalk. I value nature and recognise the need to help dogs and cats by cleaning up after them in public. Overall, I’m a responsible pet-owner, and I understand the busy schedules of human-animals, and how important it is to ensure that our non-human friends get the attention and outdoor time that they deserve and love! I’m currently available for walks most mornings and pet setting any day of the week. I can accommodate early morning walks and any feeding schedules. I understand the need for pets to have frequent trips outside, and some time cuddling on the couch as well. I’m able to handle dogs of various sizes and temperments. Treats are a must if you approve and provide treats you like to give pups. I prioritize keeping dogs on leash when out of the house to make sure they stick by me.
