“Our girl was well cared for. Yvonne was open to a meet-and-greet, and kept up a steady stream of photos and updates. We highly recommend Yvonne, and we will use her pet-sitting services again.”

“We were incredibly fortunate to have Benjamin take care of our dog, Scooby, while we were away. From the first meeting, it was clear that Benjamin is a true animal lover with a genuine passion for what he does. Throughout our trip, Benjamin provided exceptional care for Scooby. He adhered to Scooby's daily routine with precision and ensured he received plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. Benjamin's dedication and attention to detail were remarkable; he even took note of Scooby's special dietary needs and unique quirks. What truly set Benjamin apart was his communication. He sent us regular updates, complete with photos and videos, which reassured us that Scooby was happy and well taken care of. This thoughtful gesture made our time away so much more enjoyable. When we returned, Scooby was in great spirits and it was evident that he had been well-loved and cared for. Benjamin is trustworthy, reliable, and has a wonderful way with dogs. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Benjamin, for your exceptional care and making Scooby feel at home!”
“We have used Joelle and her fiancé twice now and each time has been great! They are excellent at communication and send pictures and updates. They are prompt at responding for requests and even gave my pup some of their own treats. I feel very safe and comfortable with them watching our puppy. Would highly recommend.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we could not be happier! Chelsea was absolutely wonderful. She kept us updated all day with adorable pictures of our dog, which gave us total peace of mind. She took our pup for several walks and showed genuine love and affection the entire time. It is clear she truly cares about animals. We will definitely be booking with her again and recommend to our friends / anyone looking for a dog sitter!"”
“Jinny is an amazing sitter. Very patient and kind to my puppy. It’s my puppy’s first time ever to stay at another house snd Jinny made her feel at home. She sends videos and pictures and updates every single day which took our worries away. Her kids are amazing too snd showed my puppy some love by playing and feeling her. Definitely will go back to her. Two thumbs up the way she took care of my dog. The bathing/grooming is a plus factor for Jinny. Very satisfied and happy with Jinny. :)”
“Our dogs had a great time - walks, camping, pup cups at Starbucks, nail trims and more. We appreciated the regular communication and pictures while we were away. They looked happy in all the pictures and we were feeling good about leaving them with someone for the first time.”
“Nicole was fantastic and truly went above and beyond to make my dogs comfortable during their stay!! Nicole was warm and welcoming from the first meeting and really put our mind at ease with knowing that they were going to be well taken care of. Nicole sent us photo and video updates on the dogs to show us how much fun they are having! Nicole’s backyard is a dogs dream with lots of places to sniff around. My dog loved laying up on her deck catching the views of people walking on the trails. Nicole welcomed our dogs and treated them as one of her own and helped them make themselves right at home. Our dogs loved playing with Nicole’s dog and I could tell from the photos they had an absolutely great time! We will definitely be using Nicole again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“We were very happy with our first boarding experience with Blayne. She provided excellent care for our fur baby and did a great job of keeping us updated on his stay through pics, videos and messages which we really appreciated. We will definitely use Blayne for our pet boarding/sitting needs in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Thank you Michelle for taking such good care of our pup Rylee. It was clear from the start that she was comfortable with you and your family and it was wonderful to go away and know that our pup was safe and well cared for. We will book again I am sure!”
“Sharla is awesome! This was our first time using Rover and Sharla. She was referred to us by a friend. The entire experience was easy and our dog Nova had the best time!! Sharla sent daily pictures and messages keeping us updated about Nova and what she was up to. We feel so good about leaving Nova with Sharla. She was in great hands during her stay there. We would 100% recommend Sharla!! Sam & Greg”
“Nicole and Al helped me so much - making last minute arrangements to dog sit, and making everything so easy and calm. And I got photos and a video while my puppy was there. I’m very satisfied, and will be a repeat customer!”
“We cant say enough good things about Polly-Anna!!! Her and her family took such great care of our girl. It was our first time leaving her for longer than one night, Polly-Anna sent us lots of picture and video updates. Her three pups took to luna right away and put up with her wild puppy energy! There is very secure fencing for when she was outside, she even got to meet rabbits, pigs, chickens and turkeys(through the fence)!! We feel lucky to have found someone who loves and cares for our fur baby as much as we do. We have already re booked for when we are away next and will recommend her to anyone we know needing pet care🙂”
“Karen & Dan went over and above to make sure our pups were well taken care of and spoilt with lots of affection while we were away. The updates and photos were very much appreciated for our peace of mind (and our separation anxiety!!) Thank you so much for welcoming our pups into your home!”
“Casey and his wife are unreal. I left my 13 year old frenchie in their hands for almost 3 weeks while I was on vacation in Japan. They took such great care of him! He even seems to have better mobility now and appears much happier! Thank you Casey!!!!”
“Elizabeth and her family took wonderful care of my two year old male shepherd cross. He got in lots of playtime with her kids and other dogs and I got lots of pictures. He came home happy and tired from his adventure. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Harika took amazing care of Jada and kept me up to date with how she was doing. Harika and her husband are so kind and treated Jada like their own. Very professional and safe.”

“We really loved having Sam watching our little Suki, and housesitting. There was never a time we worried about our pet, and Sam sent several photos of how affectionate Suki was during the time we were away! Everything was perfect when we returned home, and our pet was extremely happy!! Would love to continue to invite Sam into our home to hang out with Suki whenever we travel 😃”
“Rebecca was fantastic. The updates and the photos that she sent us while we were away really gave us peace of mind that our pup was being well taken care of. She was punctual and was very easy to deal with, you can tell that she really cares and wants to provide a great service. We won’t hesitate to use Rebecca again in the future.”
“We recently hired Samana to house/pet sit for us over the New Year's break. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Right from the initial contact, she answered every message promptly and professionally. Samana came to our house once for an initial meet and greet and then again just before we left to go over all the details. She approached our cats with respect and caring and they loved her from the second they greeted her at the door. While we were away she sent multiple photos and videos of our cats, eating, playing, being petted, napping etc. Multiple times per day. Even on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. It was soooo comforting to know that they were being well cared for while we were away. We came home to healthy, happy cats AND a spotless house. Couldn't even tell someone had been there for the week. She cleaned and organized everything back to perfection. I would DEFINITELY recommend Samana to watch over your most precious family members and we will DEFINITELY hire her again for our next vacation. Nothing better than knowing your pets are ok, so you can relax and enjoy your time away.”
“Blayne is so understanding and professional. It's obvious she truly cares about my three cats. She always sends entertaining videos and updates throughout the stay. Thanks for taking such good care of Bobby, Poppy and Otti!”
“Madison was fantastic. She showed up to watch my 3 cats every day right on time. She provided pictures and they were great! When I got home my cats were relaxed and happy which means that they were stress free for the week. Couldn't ask for more!”
“Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of our boys while we were on vacation. Our ginger cat Oliver is very timid with people so he runs when anyone comes to the door. Jessica sent photos daily on when she came to the house and I was shocked to see that Oliver has now become friends with her. That is telling you how great Jessica is. We will be definitely be using Jessica again.”
About: Having owned two wonderful dogs in my life and been a special friend & "aunt" of several other dogs and some cats. I am highly experienced and motivated to help you care for your beloved furry family members. I am warm, friendly and calm around animals and I find they are naturally drawn to me. I am trained in reiki and use gental reiki energy to balance and relax your pets in your absence. I do contract work and I am writing a book, so my time is flexible and I am available to spend quality time with your pets. As a sitter who would be in your home, caring for your pets, I would be able to follow your established schedule in order to cause the least distress and or disruption for your pets.
“Emily was great. My cat really liked her. She was very communicative both before and while I was away. Having her pet sit for my cat really gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give to each pet. Since I work from home, your pet will receive consistent, focused companionship throughout the day. I have hands-on experience training puppies and can help reinforce positive behaviors while keeping routines consistent. I’m also attentive to the unique needs of senior pets, ensuring they stay comfortable, safe, and supported at all times. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I tailor my care to match their personality, age, and specific needs — just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care just fits right into my day. I’m always around to give them my full attention. We go for 1-2 walks every day, and I make sure there’s always time for play. It’s all about keeping things balanced and making sure they’re happy and active. At home, I’m all about making sure my pets feel comfortable and happy, with lots of attention, daily walks, and playtime. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same approach—giving them the care and attention they need based on their routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just spending time with them, I try to make sure they feel as relaxed and cared for as possible.
“We are very pleased with Karla and how she took care of our three cats. She provided photos and videos daily and kept us updated on how they were doing. She didn't have to but she also tidied up the floors before we returned as well as put our compost bin to the side out of our driveway. She was very adoring with our li'l kitties, we will definitely be contacting Karla for any future cat sitting needs.”
“Colby dropped in on my senior cat daily while I was out of the country, providing him with extra attention and giving me more peace of mind being away. She was very dependable and provided regular uodates & photos.”
“Iris did a great job visiting our 3 cats, making sure their food/water/litter were full/clean and making them feel loved. We loved receiving photo updates of each one on our trip! One of our cats needed extra attention and Iris was able to make sure he was looked after. Would use her again! Thanks Iris!”
“We were going to be out of town for ten days, and Jason agreed to take care of our cats. One of our cats is an orange boy who is extremely social, and our other calico is usually quite shy. Jason brought out the best in our cats while we were away. Our orange knew when he was coming and would wait by the door for him, and our calico didn’t run from him as if he was a vacuum cleaner. Every visit was accompanied by pictures of each cat (unless our calico was snoozing in our boxspring) and everything went off without a hitch! We never once felt concerned that our cats weren’t getting the attention they needed, and the pictures every visit helped with how much we missed them while we were away. All instructions were closely followed, and communication was consistent and concise. We will be re-booking with Jason for future cat-sitting needs!”
About: I adopted Raya almost 2 years ago from the OSPCA after wanting to add a furry family member. Raya is the first cat I have owned. I have taught her to SIT ( only happens when there are treats involved) and to COME ( which takes 5 business days for her to decide). She is sassy, affectionate and the boss of my dog Hercules.

I’m experienced with differently abled dogs and those with medical needs, medication administration, and wound care.

Your pet will not be outside a secured yard without a leash, and will always be tethered or crated in vehicle. Pet first aid certified.
“Robbin is the best :) She's very kind and easy to chat with, and I am so happy with the care she gave my 2 cats while I was away for 2.5 weeks. I had Robbin come on the opposite days to a girlfriend of mine who was also helping to look over my boys, and it brought me so much comfort knowing that both her and my friend were in contact with each other the whole time. Robbin kept me in the loop and sent photos - it sounds terrible to say but, I could totally forget I even had cats while I was on vacation because I knew they were both in very capable and caring hands, hahaha. I would absolutely recommend her to someone looking for a cat sitter, and I would also hire her again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much Robbin!”

“Mariana was amazing with our new puppy Musōka!! She's still not fully vaccinated & this was her first time ever being anywhere new from our house! I was more worried she would be a monster, but it took her no time to warm up to her new surroundings and Mariana & her husband. I got so many updates and pictures along the way it made me feel so safe having her in Marianas care, they live close to alot of walking trails, and dog park that I can't wait for her to go back after all her shots!!! We will absolutely be going back to Mariana next week, Musōka came back so happy, and they were so accomadating! I'd highly recommend Mariana to anyone!”
“Stella had such a wonderful time with Vivianna and her pups. I got pictures throughout the day of Stella outside playing, and going for a walk. I highly recommend Vivianna she clearly loves dogs!!”
“She was on time, ready for us to come over. I was impressed with her knowledge of dogs and their behaviour. I was worried leaving my puppy in a strange place, so went over the day before just to introduce him and myself. We had a nice chat and I felt better after meeting her and seeing how she related to the other dog in her care. All went well and we will arrange another visit when we need care for Roger. Marcia Forth, dog Mom.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! She took wonderful care of my dog and kept me updated with frequent messages and pictures, which i really appreciated. She was also very accommodating with my work schedule. My dog came home happy and worn out after full day with her. I’ll absolutely be booking with Elizabeth again; highly recommend!”
“Harika is an excellent sitter. I contacted her to dog sit (with drop off in 30 minutes) and she responded promptly and accepted my request. Then later I asked for an hour extension and she accommodated me. I ended up being an extra half hour. During my dog’s stay (5 1/2 hrs) she sent me many pictures, fed and walked my dog. The home is very nice and clean. I would absolutely request services again when I have to be in Edmonton. Thanks again!”
“Andrea and her family create such a welcoming environment for my puppy and all the dogs that stay with them. I can tell by how much my dog loves going there each week and by the lovely pictures and messages I receive from each stay that Andrea and Bernal truly love each critter they care for. Would recommend!!”
“Amazing couple to have chosen to take care of my dog. I’ve never left him with strangers before so I was a little nervous, but I couldn’t have asked for better people. They kept me updated all day with texts, pictures, videos. They took him in their yard to play, out for walks, and treated him like their own. Wonderful people to trust with your furbabies”
“Nicole was so great with Bailey today! She helped us out on short notice because of a family emergency and the whole time she sent photos and videos to put our minds @ ease. We are so grateful to have found Nicole and will absolutely rebook in the future.”
“Extremely courteous and caring experience today. My dog was very calm coming home after a full day with Chelsea. Even tho it was raining non stop, she still fit in multiple pee breaks for my very reluctant little dog. Thank you for taking care of Mr. Lolo for me today”
“Ana is a complete lifesaver. We had major renovations start in our home earlier than expected and my dog is 14 years old this month. No way I could leave hom at home with strangers making sounds at all hours of the day! She was able to take him in last minute, and provided many updates, photos, and videos throughout the day. Honestly, he is so excited to go he screams when he knows we are almost there. She takes better care of him that I probably do. I highly recommend Ana. She is really nice, takes great care of animals, and clearly loves them. Even my old mop of a boy.”
“Blayne is an excellent care provider for your pet!! We felt comfortable leaving our pup with her and he bonded to her right away. We will use Blayne again, so great choice for you; no question!!!”
“Our dog Ollie seemed to be super happy when we picked him up! They made sure to ask for any instructions for our dog and had plenty of space to separate Ollie from another dog they were watching. They let Ollie outside several times which he loves and they were great people to contact they answered right away and were friendly! I would definitely book with them again!”
“As a first time fur parent I am greatful that we found Elizabeth to watch Toffy! She took such amazing care of him and sent us pictures throughout the stay. We could tell by the photo that he was having a great time. We will definitely be rebook her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and caring home to leave their fur babies while they are away.”
“I was a bit nervous leaving Pudding with someone new, but Xiaoying made the whole process so easy. She is incredibly responsible and communicative. I loved getting the check-ins and seeing Pudding so happy and relaxed. It’s such a relief to find a sitter you can fully trust. 10/10 recommend Xiaoying for any pet parent!”

“we are the luckiest to have samana. her genuine care, compassion, and kindness she gives to our fur babies is immeasurable. I could "fan girl" over her all day, every day. she follows our training requests, she keeps us updated regularly, and reassures us that goose & gob are being taken care of. our pup is slightly reactive and she has taken on the challenge with stride, we are forever grateful.”
“First time using Rover and Virginia really put us at ease. She was fantastic with trigger, informative and we really enjoyed the pictures of Trigger while we were away!”
“Thor must have really enjoyed his walks with Madison while my husband was away at work, because he said for the next two days once he returned home again Thor would go wait by the front door at the time she had been picking him up. Haha. Madison was great with communication, scheduling and updates after each visit as well. 😊”
“Our puppy had so much fun! Rebecca was very communicative and did a meet and greet prior to the walk. She provided photos and updates on our pup who had a great time in the snow, getting some much needed exercise. Definitely recommend!”
“Emily was fantastic! She gave me peace of mind when I was travelling that my dogs were taken care of. (With very short notice) Love getting the pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I am fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available to you and your pet on short notice. Not only is my schedule accommodating, so is my home and my pet education. Over the past 14ys, I have been closely involved with many different animal orientated facilities. My personal pup was certified with The Chimo Project which is now called CAAWLS. This organization recruits and certifies wellness animals for Animal Assisted Intervention (AAI) services. Involvement with this company was both rewarding for my pup and myself. I also volunteer my time with Dogs With Wings (DWW). A non-profit organization that does amazing things. DWW is changing lives for the better by training dogs to be guide dogs, service dogs, autism dogs and more. Rest assured, your pet will be well loved and in good care during their stay with me.
About: I’ve had my best friend, Ash, since I was 10. Almost 12, he’s as lively as ever! I had also adopted Dart last year, a 10 year old pointer with anxiety - I have had the privilege of watching him grow and bloom into his instincts and training! I’ve also worked professionally with dogs for over two years and specifically would be tasked to handle dogs with special needs, whether that be behavioural or medical. I can connect with dogs and read them incredibly easy. I’m very patient as well and have no fear when dealing with less trusting or “feistier” dogs. I also understand how busy life can get, especially when unexpected hurdles come your way. I am especially offering services for pet parents who are looking for super last minute help. I’m more than happy to share a more specific version of my availability if you think you’ll need last minute care in the near future. I also especially love senior dogs and can manage their specific health and behavioural needs with ease. :) Hi! I’m a student with two pups of my own. I would love to help others struggling with busy schedules give their pups the best life they deserve! Here are the times I'm UNavailable during the week starting September 2026: Dog Walking or Drop-in: - Unavailable Monday and Friday Evenings - Unavailable MWF from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. - Unavailable TH from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. * I may be able to compromise and make an exception if you need my services during these hours OR if you live near Lewis Estates/University of Alberta campus, but nothing super long term until the new year. Other than the times listed above, I have pretty open availability but would be best for routine drop-ins or walking in the mornings, early evenings, and weekends. If you need me there during full work hours, please still reach out and explain your situation - I may be able to accommodate and I'm more than willing to talk about if our schedules work! I am also more than okay staying the night as long as I'm okay to pop in and out during the day to run errands as well! I work around the schedule of my two dogs, a couple of university classes and occasional 4-hour shifts at tutoring centre. I’d be great for last-minute bookings, most especially for dog walking, overnights, and drop-ins. :) ** I will accept short-term boarding under certain circumstances (typically if you’re experiencing an emergencies and need short term pet care ASAP). This is not preferred for me as I have a full house of dogs, hence the pricing. I’m very respectful of others spaces and will be able to recognize and learn the routines of your pup pretty quick! Special instructions are no stranger to me, so ask away!! I want to replicate their regular routine as much as possible to cause the least amount of stress. :) I value and put the time into understanding your pets boundaries and have no qualms with creating a safe, comforting environment through soft tones, words, and actions, and most importantly: patience.
“Zenna has been great with Hank! It is clear she has experience dealing with dogs and using positive reinforcement for improving leash skills. Hank loves spending time with Zenna and always looks forward to seeing her!”
“Keara has been amazing with my dog. You can tell right away that she has real experience, especially with reactive dogs. While mine isn’t reactive, it gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s able to read other dogs’ cues and body language so well when they’re out on walks. That kind of awareness is invaluable. She’s also a fantastic listener and follows instructions exactly as given, which I really appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely cares and takes her role seriously. I fully trust her with my dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, attentive, and reliable walker.”
About: I have been working with animals for as long as I can remember. My mom and I fostered dogs when I was young and I started dog walking and pet sitting on my own around 10 years old. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies as well as administering medication. My own family dog was a pet therapy dog and I did the training to be a certified handler with her. I currently am in University and work part time but I set up my schedule to be able to check in between classes or in between school and work. I am very flexible and willing to accommodate whatever your pets needs are if that means multiple walks a day or playing in the yard. For walks I have experience working with leash pullers so that’s not an issue. I am used to having to provide care on a set schedule or a more flexible one as well.

About: Hi, I'm Barb, and if there's one thing you should know about me, it's this—I will care for your dog as if they were my own. As the proud dog mom of my beloved Sasha, I understand that our dogs aren't "just pets." They're family. That's why every walk is about so much more than exercise. It's about making your dog feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you're away. I'm naturally calm, patient, and dependable. As a Reiki Master and lifelong caregiver, I've learned that animals respond to gentle energy, kindness, and consistency. Whether your dog is bursting with energy, a little nervous, or enjoying their senior years, I'll meet them with compassion and respect for their individual personality. I love being outdoors and believe dogs thrive when they have time to explore, sniff, play, and simply enjoy the world around them. Every walk is tailored to your dog's pace and needs, never rushed. When you trust me with your dog, you're trusting someone who understands how much they mean to you. I'll keep them safe, give them my full attention, and treat them with the same love and care I give my own Sasha. My goal is simple: a happy dog, a worry-free owner, and a tail that can't stop wagging. I am flexible with my time and am available anytime. I have experience with friends dogs going for walks and playing with them. They all have different temperaments and needs. I will come to your home to look after your pet for dog sitting, and dog walking services. Knowing temperament with other dogs and people as well as energy level and things your dog likes to do. As well as any special diet needs.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life since I was around 4. I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs, giving me lots of experience! I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, I’ve taken care of their daily needs since I was 10 years old. I make sure to have my schedule fit with letting my dogs out and feeding my animals. I am the biggest animal lover, I will spend time with dogs and cats over humans most of the time. I always keep an eye on the animals I’m taking care of, and I will always follow their schedules and needs!

“We have used Joelle and her fiancé twice now and each time has been great! They are excellent at communication and send pictures and updates. They are prompt at responding for requests and even gave my pup some of their own treats. I feel very safe and comfortable with them watching our puppy. Would highly recommend.”
“Jinny is an amazing sitter. Very patient and kind to my puppy. It’s my puppy’s first time ever to stay at another house snd Jinny made her feel at home. She sends videos and pictures and updates every single day which took our worries away. Her kids are amazing too snd showed my puppy some love by playing and feeling her. Definitely will go back to her. Two thumbs up the way she took care of my dog. The bathing/grooming is a plus factor for Jinny. Very satisfied and happy with Jinny. :)”
“Our dogs had a great time - walks, camping, pup cups at Starbucks, nail trims and more. We appreciated the regular communication and pictures while we were away. They looked happy in all the pictures and we were feeling good about leaving them with someone for the first time.”
“Nicole was fantastic and truly went above and beyond to make my dogs comfortable during their stay!! Nicole was warm and welcoming from the first meeting and really put our mind at ease with knowing that they were going to be well taken care of. Nicole sent us photo and video updates on the dogs to show us how much fun they are having! Nicole’s backyard is a dogs dream with lots of places to sniff around. My dog loved laying up on her deck catching the views of people walking on the trails. Nicole welcomed our dogs and treated them as one of her own and helped them make themselves right at home. Our dogs loved playing with Nicole’s dog and I could tell from the photos they had an absolutely great time! We will definitely be using Nicole again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Thank you Michelle for taking such good care of our pup Rylee. It was clear from the start that she was comfortable with you and your family and it was wonderful to go away and know that our pup was safe and well cared for. We will book again I am sure!”
“Sharla is awesome! This was our first time using Rover and Sharla. She was referred to us by a friend. The entire experience was easy and our dog Nova had the best time!! Sharla sent daily pictures and messages keeping us updated about Nova and what she was up to. We feel so good about leaving Nova with Sharla. She was in great hands during her stay there. We would 100% recommend Sharla!! Sam & Greg”
“Nicole and Al helped me so much - making last minute arrangements to dog sit, and making everything so easy and calm. And I got photos and a video while my puppy was there. I’m very satisfied, and will be a repeat customer!”
“We cant say enough good things about Polly-Anna!!! Her and her family took such great care of our girl. It was our first time leaving her for longer than one night, Polly-Anna sent us lots of picture and video updates. Her three pups took to luna right away and put up with her wild puppy energy! There is very secure fencing for when she was outside, she even got to meet rabbits, pigs, chickens and turkeys(through the fence)!! We feel lucky to have found someone who loves and cares for our fur baby as much as we do. We have already re booked for when we are away next and will recommend her to anyone we know needing pet care🙂”
“Karen & Dan went over and above to make sure our pups were well taken care of and spoilt with lots of affection while we were away. The updates and photos were very much appreciated for our peace of mind (and our separation anxiety!!) Thank you so much for welcoming our pups into your home!”
“Elizabeth and her family took wonderful care of my two year old male shepherd cross. He got in lots of playtime with her kids and other dogs and I got lots of pictures. He came home happy and tired from his adventure. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Yan and Guodong took such amazing care of Ginger and kept us updated on her everyday. We really loved the effort they put in taking care of Ginger. Highly recommend them to everyone. We will keep booking them :)”
“I had a great experience with Nicole; she took a good care of my pup. Communication was easy, quick, and very clear. We asked for daily pictures/videos and she never forgot to send them! I would recommend this sitter.”
“Anjua was very easy going. She sent me updates every other day as requested. My dogs always looked like they were having a good time with her. She has a lot of land and they had lots of room to run around. I will definitely rebook with her if I am in need of a sitter.”
“Absolutely awesome! My dogs loved their stay. Belinda and Brent sent many pictures and updates. They were not even sure they wanted to leave lol. 10/10 stars :)”
“We could see that, our dog, Asia was having fun and well taken care of during her stay. Terry would send us frequent messages and photos of Asia relaxing and playing with the other dogs. These updates put us at ease during our vacation. We would highly recommend him and will definitely be booking his service in the near future.”
“From the moment I met Trish, I knew my boys would be in great hands! They are usually quite nervous around new people and in new places, but they instantly took a liking to Trish. She send tons of photos throughout their stay and always kept me in the loop as to what they were up to. It’s very clear that Trish adores dogs and I would have 0 hesitation in bringing my dogs back for another stay.”
“Jill exceed all my expectations and took care of Hudson The Great amazingly for me. She had no issues with his special diet and medications. Jill kept me up to date on their activities and sent plenty of pictures. Hudson the Great loved her and her energy and her home was immaculately clean. I 100% recommend Jill and will be booking again with her.”
