“5 stars – Highly Recommend! I had a fantastic experience with Stacey. She and her daughter took excellent care of Bella, while I was away. They followed all instructions carefully, gave regular updates with photos, and treated my pup like family. I came home to a happy, healthy, and well-exercised dog. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Bella was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Stacey again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Katrina and Ryan were phenomenal with our dog Jasper. They provided frequent updates of their adventures, and made every moment enjoyable and fun for him. Communication was efficient and effective. They went above and beyond to ensure a safe and fun experience for our dog. We were comfortable and confident leaving Jasper with Katrina and Ryan and we will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!!”
“Ana took amazing care of my dog, she sent me pictures and videos often so I felt good knowing he was happy and comfortable while I was away. Ana had great communication and my dog seemed very comfortable with her. I would be a repeat client but we are moving out of town unfortunately! Highly recommend her as a dog sitter :)”
“It was my first time using Rover so I was a little skeptical but the first day I met Jennifer I knew that my dog 15 year old dog Hollywood would be in good hands. The daily pictures and videos Jennifer sent me over the 9 days we were away made me feel at ease knowing that Hollywood felt safe, comfortable and well cared for. Jennifer loves pets and you can truly tell as she and her dog Sophie treated my Hollywood as their own. I will definitely be using Jennifer again in the future and would highly recommend her!”
“Jills care for our 13 year old diabetic cat was amazing. I reached out to her last min due to her previous 5 star ratings. Although Jill was booked, she made a special room for our old boy. She provided him an entire room with 2 litter boxes, a double bed and even a flower on the table. He was in a 5 star resort. She created a box for him surrounded by pillows and blankets for him to hide during the storms. She made a ramp for his easy access on and off the bed. Her communication was immediate and so professional. Jill provided us pictures of our old boy a number of times a day along with updates on his eating and insulin injections-that she was excellent at administering. He was cuddled, petted, taken care of and very happy. I would highly recommend Jill for anyone who wants their beloved pet to be in the very best care. We have already booked her again for his next stay. Words cannot say how impressed we are with Jill!”
“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!”
“Tracy and her family are amazing with Rex. He gets so excited when we pull up to their house. I have a high level of love for my dog and they meet me where I am at in spoiling my little guy with love”
“Nina and Gordon were great!!! I have not left my two dogs with anyone other than family. This was all new to me. They allowed me to come over with the dogs for a meet and greet before booking. They just spent their first night away yesterday and it went very well. I could definitely tell my dogs were taken care of. The updates and photos were an added bonus for me which was much appreciated. Booking again for sure !!!”
“Fantastic service provided by Rhonda. I am not one to be comfortable with the idea of leaving my dog with anyone else but my own family, however, Rhonda was amazing with Enzo as well as her kids. She provided regular updates that were meaningful and reassuring. Will be my go to moving forward! 100% recommend”
“She’s caring and making effort to play with my dog. She make sure to stay with my pet’s routines and send lots of photo and video update. She also messaged me if she had any questions which shows her dedication. She’s flexible with dropping off and picking up time. My dog is high energy and had a great time staying with her family. Thanks Mariana!”
“Our dog Emma had the best time with Jinny. Jinny was great at keeping us up to date on how Emma was doing. I definitely recommend Jinny and we'll be using her services again.”
“Eunji and Chanmin are amazing with my dog! They sent tons of pictures and videos every day so I could see what my dog was up to. While I was away the weather got really cold and I didn’t bring a jacket for my dog as I didn’t expect that drastic weather change but they put a jacket they already had on my dog to make sure he was warm which I appreciated. I don’t ever have to worry and have true peace of mind. I know when my dog is with these two he is in good care and I trust them completely. You can tell they really truly love dogs.”

“I recently went on vacation and, although I was initially hesitant to leave my pets with a stranger, I decided to give Pamela a try based on her reviews. I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Pamela, along with her helpers, provided exceptional care for my pets over the weekend. Despite not knowing her personally, Pamela proved to be a great pet parent. Her dedication and love for animals were evident from the moment we met. My pets were well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable when I returned. Pamela will definitely be my first choice for pet care any time I need to be away. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”

“I was extremely nervous hiring someone for drop in visits for my boy because of how anxious he can get sometimes but Lyndsay has been phenomenal. He's always happy and fed and I can tell he is very comfortable with her. Couldn’t have asked for someone better to take care of him. Thank you Lyndsay!”
“This was our fourth time booking with Cindy. Cindy is amazing! She stayed at our home for two weeks while we were away and took such great care of our cat, Frankie. We came home to a happy, healthy cat and a spotless house. - we could tell he'd been really well looked after and given lots of attention. Communication was great throughout our trip, and we always felt that Frankie was in good hands. It made our time away so much more enjoyable knowing everything at home was being taken care of. The daily photos she sent us made our day. We'd most definitely book with Cindy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter!”
“Lynette came for an hour drop in with our puppy, while we were at work. She sent lots of updates and pictures! It was reassuring to know he was cared for and getting the attention he needed. Our pup is excited to have Lynette back!”
“Lisa was great, she sent updates every day, she is trustworthy and easy to communicate! Also flexible and kind when requested to add an extra day last minute and put Amazon packages inside the house!”

About: I have 10 years of caring/volunteer experience, including small animals, fish and reptiles. I have 2+years of professional dog training and open doggy daycare experience. I am certified in pet first aid and have my certificate in fear free shelter I’m currently Pet sitting full time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available to board in your house on weekends and during the week if not already booked! During the times I am booked, I am available for walks and drop ins! I like to stick to your pet’s schedule as best as I can! Some pets are very stuck in their routines and I like to keep it that way to avoid as much stress, as it is can already be stressful with Mom and or Dad gone. As I have mentioned, I am a full time sitter, so there will be 24 hour supervision! If there is a point during my stay that I may have to leave for an errand or two, I will kennel if able. But not before a bathroom break and a walk! If you have a yard there will be no outside with out any supervision, unless told otherwise. When it comes to walking for safety, I do keep extra poop bags, treats and an extra leash if needed! Also for walking, if your dog has certain FOCUS queues, do not hesitate to mention, as they help when crossing paths with others!
About: I've loved cats since I can remember and have always had one in my home growing up. They truly fascinate, comfort and entertain me and I could only be so lucky to meet and care for someone else's beautiful friend.
“This is the second time I’ve booked Alyssa to take care of my four animals and again she was amazing! Two of my cats are on medications and she eased my anxiety about leaving them. I’m so happy I have a reliable pet sitter now that goes above and beyond the standard pet care !! :)”
“Jasmine was great and I never had to worry about when she was coming as she always came exactly when expected and stayed the full amount of time we requested her for. I felt assured from her photos that our little guy was loving his visits with her. Will definitely use her again”
About: In the last 8 years, I’ve cared for all kinds of cats; some snuggly, some mischievous, some that only needed their litter boxes cleaned, and others that required medication and extra care. My experience with cats goes beyond just the years I’ve worked with animals, though, because I also grew up in a five cat household! I’ve seen cats grow from kittens to seniors and helped care for them every step of the way.
“Catherine is truly amazing. She filled in for me at the last minute due to another sitter not coming to the meet and greets. She also recognized that my Hamish had an extremely rare medical emergency and rushed him to the vet. Thank Goodness she was the one there with him, otherwise I do not know what would have happened. she also translated the vet for me and picked him up the next day waiting for the vet. She sent me pictures and updates frequently, more than once a day. I highly recommend Catherine.”
“Kianna is great! We have used her for overnights and drop ins with prefect results every time. Communication is fast and clear. She’s great with the dogs and dependable.”
“Ava was wonderful! She was extremely attentive when meeting my 2 cats, shared great updates after each visit, and was quick to respond during the booking process. I’d absolutely book with her again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“This was Jewels first visit to a sitter. Lynette was wonderful with her. I'm so thankful to be out at ease with our first experience. Im looking forward to Jewel spending more time with Lynette.”
“Took very good care of my pup and gave her good exercise to the point where she didn’t wanna walk/run around at all after which was amazing! Will definitely be using Korinna for all future pup-sitting”
“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.”
“Zoey and Scooter had great care. This is the first time we have used a day home and it was a great experience. They were able to accommodate our short notice so we could both attend an out of town funeral. They have a beautiful yard to play in. If we need their service again we will definitely book with them again. Thanks Gordon and Nina.”
“Marie is a wonderful and caring pet sitter. I highly recommend her for senior fur babies. She understands their special needs and sincerely cares about making their stay comfortable and relaxing.”
“Rhonda was amazing, what an excellent environment for any dog! There were walks, one-on-one attention and you can really tell Rhonda cares for the puppies! Rosie came home so happy and we can’t wait to rebook 😊”
“I recently started bringing my dog, Matcha, to Ella's house and the experience has been absolutely wonderful. Ella was fantastic about sending regular updates, photos, and videos throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind. It was so reassuring to see exactly how well Matcha was being cared for. The real proof, though, was Matcha’s reaction. She clearly had a fantastic time because the next time we arrived, she walked right inside without looking back. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving to watch your pup, look no further than Ella. Matcha and I will definitely be regulars!”
“Dahlia is so patient with our gentle-giant-energy-packed puppy. She's responsive to all of my concerns, questions and made sure that everything is taken care of, being our first time using daycare and boarding. Rio settled in just fine and had a good time with them.”
“Katrina and Ryan are an amazing couple who provided day sitting to my energetic young lab on a number of occasions. My pup comes home happy, healthy, tired and is eager to return for more fun each time. They provide a safe, loving environment for my pup and report on her daily activities/progress with photos. I trust them and highly recommend them. I will continue to use their services and promote them to others.”
“We were SO happy with the care Umber provided for Maple! She was incredibly responsive and extremely knowledgeable on dog behaviour and training and ensuring our pup felt comfortable and safe in a new environment. Blue and Honey are so sweet and so well behaved and Maple had a ton of fun with them!! She gained two new besties! We would absolutely recommend Umber to anyone.”

“Ana was absolutely amazing with our dogs. She was so welcoming and accommodating fitting us in last minute for a daycare stay. I would trust her with my pets anytime.”
About: I have had dogs all of my life. And I've had cats until recently. They make your life complete. I would love to be able to baby your animal. I am retired. My schedule is very flexible. I love taking dogs for a nice long walks and we have some beautiful trails in the area that I live in. Animals are part of your family. I have a fenced yard and an enclosed utility right away in the back where a lot of dogs can run but that would be your choice
About: I hike daily and will offer your dog lots of outdoor walks - on or off leash. They will get lots of love and snuggles too. I have been caring for animals all my life but have focused mostly on dogs the past 25 years. I have spent years with street dogs in Mexico and doing spay and neuter clinics. I have 2 of my own dogs that came from Mexico and have found homes for many more. I have a strong passion and love for dogs and can guarantee your dog will receive lots of love and care while with me. Currently I am not working so have all day with your dog. I go for a minimum of an hour walk usually in the river valley once a day and then several leash walks in the neighborhood. I have 2 very friendly dogs - one is a senior 9 years old and the other is 2 years old which can keep your dog company. I don’t crate my dogs but can offer that if you wish. I will offer your dog a home away from home.
“Julie took such excellent care of our pup, Enya! Julie was thorough, communicative, and caring. Enya came home very happy and tired; she loved playing with Julie and the other dogs that were in Julie’s care. Thank you so much!”
“Sarah was a wonderful doggy sitter. My dog, Teddy, took to Sarah and got along well with her pets as well as the rest of the family. I have booked another boarding session about 18 days worth with Sarah. Thank you again Sarah. At least now I know Teddy will be in good hands which is a great comfort for us.”
“My dogs spent the day with Ronilyn as a trial for boarding. My little dog can be quite nervous but within a few minutes she warmed right up! I now feel at ease going away knowing they will both be in great hands! Loved that she sent pictures of them throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Ronilyn.”

“Niki took my dog for walks while I could not due to doctor’s orders. Fred got so excited whenever she came to pick him up! She is prompt and very pleasant and I would definitely recommend her.”
“Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with Ellie, I truly didn’t think she’d be able to walk with anyone other than us because of her high anxiety, but you’re wonderful with her.”
“Bonnie was reliable and pups liked her. She showed up on time even with the struggle to find parking due to the snow clearing. I do wish when she took more than a picture of 1/2 our dogs head or butt to send to us.”
“Gretta is very excited when she sees Kianna’s car drive up. Kianna is a very caring dog walker and is very patient with G when she puts on the snow suit for colder weather.”
About: Animals have been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I’ve shared my home with beloved cats for most of my adult life. Over the years I’ve also co-habited with small and medium dogs, cared for senior pets, and supported many animals through the last gentle stages of their lives. My professional background is in environmental science (35 years), a path I chose out of love and devotion to animals, wildlife, and the natural world. Outside of work, I spent years volunteering with animals — from supporting elephants and reptiles at the Valley Zoo to caring for over 70 elephants at an orphanage in Sri Lanka. I even trained one elephant, Devi, to paint using positive reinforcement. I’ve also cared for small exotic pets, including ball pythons and a garter snake. Today, I bring all of that experience into calm, compassionate, reliable pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals. I’m gentle, observant, patient, and very attuned to the emotional needs of animals — especially seniors or those who are shy, anxious, or needing extra support. Skills & Care Abilities: Administering medications with confidence: pills, injections, liquid meds via syringe, and puffers for dogs and cats Handling senior or special-needs pets with patience and gentleness Cat nail trims Dog bathing and brushing; cat brushing (hairless cat bathing and grooming) Experience with freshwater and saltwater aquariums Comfortable with reptiles and other small animals Master Gardener/Composter certified (City of Edmonton) — happy to care for plants, yards, and gardens as well Calm, confident, experienced around all animal personalities Clear communication and daily updates I’m recently retired, which allows me to offer steady, unhurried, fully present care for the animals I look after. When I’m not volunteering in Asia or Costa Rica, I work quietly from home doing computer-based volunteer work — which means your pet will have company, consistency, and a peaceful environment throughout the day. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to take dogs out for frequent walks, playtime, and pee breaks, tailored to their age and energy level. I’m equally happy to spend long, calm stretches with small dogs or cats curled up on my lap. I genuinely enjoy the simple companionship of animals, whether that means gentle snuggles, quiet presence, or attentive support for senior pets needing extra patience. My home routine is calm, predictable, and nurturing — ideal for pets who thrive with kindness, attentiveness, and a steady rhythm. Because I specialise in caring for cats and small dogs in their own familiar environment, my focus is always on creating a safe, calm, and reassuring experience for your pet while you’re away. In Your Home (House Sitting & In-Home Care) Your pet’s comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely — feeding times, walks, medications, bedtime rituals, favourite toys, and comfort preferences. I maintain a quiet, predictable environment, and I am attentive to small changes in behaviour, appetite, or energy level. I double-check doors, gates, and windows to prevent escapes I ensure safe handling during comings and goings I keep a tidy, hazard-free space I send regular updates with photos so you always feel connected I provide lots of gentle companionship, cuddles, lap time, and enrichment Cats and small dogs often bond quickly with me due to my calm presence and decades of experience. Drop-In Visits For drop-ins, I offer flexible, attentive care — feeding, litter cleaning, short walks, medication administration, brushing, playtime, or simply quiet company if your pet prefers. I take care to observe how your pet is feeling each visit and adjust my approach accordingly. Overall Approach With lifelong experience with animals — including senior pets, pets needing medication, and shy or anxious animals — I bring patience, reliability, and a gentle, steady energy. My background in environmental science and animal care has taught me to be observant, respectful, and attentive to detail. Your home and your pet are treated with the utmost care, respect, and kindness.
“Madalynn was great for the 2 dog walks she provided. Very positive experience. She was reliable, friendly, and clearly comfortable with dogs (she has her own). Super patient with our hundreds of requests of how to care for our dog, LOL. Communication was easy/fast and I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. My dog seemed happy and well cared for after each walk. I would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others.”
About: From showing dogs professionally, to grooming cats and dogs and owning them all my life; I have the knowledge and experience to handle any pet with the care based on their individual needs. I also offer grooming and training, as well as drop in pet sitting where I check in on your pets while you’re gone. I currently work very part time (Wednesday-Friday and the occasional Saturday) and have more than enough time for my own pets and want to spend all the extra time helping care for yours! Currently I am available Saturday-Tuesday just about any time. Wednesdays I have time in the morning and can do an evening drop in after work around 9pm Thursday and Fridays I am off around 4 and am available in the evening. I have 2 dogs, 3 cats and 2 fish tanks. I balance all of them along with having 2 children as well. To me, caring for pets means they are family and should be included as such. During a regular week my dogs are given a variation of walking, training and mental stimulation games. The cats can be found lounging with us in our past times or playing amongst themselves.
About: I’ve taken care of a few of my coworkers cats & dogs, going over to check on them and give them lots of love! I don’t own any pets myself but I genuinely love my time with my friends pets and I would love to enjoy time with yours too! I am a student with open availability other than part time work! I am available mostly during the day and evenings or weekends but my schedule is fluid all the time right now! I don’t have the resources to house animals in my own home, but I am confident in my skills to take care of your pets while we get some exercise together!
About: I’ve taken care of pets and have had many of my own ever since I was 3! I’ve always loved working with animals and giving them the best life possible. Through my years of hands-on experience, I’ve gained the knowledge and understanding of caring for different animals with a wide range of needs. You can be assured your furry family member will be offered lots of play time, affection and care, just like they are my own! I am currently work Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from 8-4:30, but while I’m not at work I am always doing something with my dogs or cats! My favourite time of the day is when I get to take them for a walk, or simply play with toys in the yard. Seeing any animal happy and content is what brings me joy! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own who love other animals! We also have a fenced yard. If your pet doesn’t like to socialize with others, I can ensure they are separated with no issues!
About: I have over 4 years of hands-on experience caring for my own cockapoo, a 30-pound, high-energy dog who taught me more than I expected. Early on, he pulled on the leash and got easily distracted around other dogs, so I worked through leash training and gradually introduced him to dog parks to build his confidence and social skills. I adapted his exercise routine over time, adding frisbee and fetch to match his energy level. Beyond my own dog, I stepped in for a family friend under emergency circumstances, which taught me how to stay calm under pressure, follow an unfamiliar routine carefully, and pick up on what a dog needs quickly. I confirmed the emergency vet location and sent photo updates within the first hour. During the summer I have full daytime availability. During the school year I am available on evenings and weekends. I typically respond to messages within 24 hours. The safety and comfort of every pet in my care is my first priority. In a client's home I follow all provided instructions carefully, double-check leashes, doors, and outdoor areas, confirm the nearest emergency vet, and send a photo update within the first hour so owners feel reassured from the start.
About: For the past 8 years, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, from playful Yorkies to gentle giants like Bull Mastiffs. I have experience with live-in pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. My goal is always to make your pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time student, but my class schedule is light. I’m on campus Mondays and Wednesdays till 11:30 am, then Tuesdays and Thursdays till 1:00 pm. I also work a very part time retail job with a flexible schedule. This allows me to offer pet sitting, walks, and drop-ins any day of the week, and I’m happy to work around your pets routine to make sure they get the care they need. I always prioritize your pets safety and comfort by caring for them in their own familiar environment. I respect your home and follow any instructions you provide to keep your pet’s routine consistent. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I adjust my care based on your pet’s needs and the service booked, ensuring they feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.
“Dottie the Shepherd mix LOVED Sara and was so excited to see her every day. Sara was prompt and took Dottie for walks on familiar territory in our neighborhood. Will definitely use Sara again in the future!”
“Absolutely thrilled with my experience with Rebbeca, she has been reliable, professional and shows genuine care for my border collie Isaac. Rebecca provides amazing photos of Isaac on his walks and its clear they have made a strong bond together. My first experience with Rebecca was also on short notice and she was incredibly responsive and understanding of my situation. If you are looking for someone caring, trustworthy and dependable I can't recommend Rebecca enough.”

“Katrina and Ryan were phenomenal with our dog Jasper. They provided frequent updates of their adventures, and made every moment enjoyable and fun for him. Communication was efficient and effective. They went above and beyond to ensure a safe and fun experience for our dog. We were comfortable and confident leaving Jasper with Katrina and Ryan and we will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!!”
“It was my first time using Rover so I was a little skeptical but the first day I met Jennifer I knew that my dog 15 year old dog Hollywood would be in good hands. The daily pictures and videos Jennifer sent me over the 9 days we were away made me feel at ease knowing that Hollywood felt safe, comfortable and well cared for. Jennifer loves pets and you can truly tell as she and her dog Sophie treated my Hollywood as their own. I will definitely be using Jennifer again in the future and would highly recommend her!”
“Jills care for our 13 year old diabetic cat was amazing. I reached out to her last min due to her previous 5 star ratings. Although Jill was booked, she made a special room for our old boy. She provided him an entire room with 2 litter boxes, a double bed and even a flower on the table. He was in a 5 star resort. She created a box for him surrounded by pillows and blankets for him to hide during the storms. She made a ramp for his easy access on and off the bed. Her communication was immediate and so professional. Jill provided us pictures of our old boy a number of times a day along with updates on his eating and insulin injections-that she was excellent at administering. He was cuddled, petted, taken care of and very happy. I would highly recommend Jill for anyone who wants their beloved pet to be in the very best care. We have already booked her again for his next stay. Words cannot say how impressed we are with Jill!”
“Nina and Gordon were great!!! I have not left my two dogs with anyone other than family. This was all new to me. They allowed me to come over with the dogs for a meet and greet before booking. They just spent their first night away yesterday and it went very well. I could definitely tell my dogs were taken care of. The updates and photos were an added bonus for me which was much appreciated. Booking again for sure !!!”
“Our dog Emma had the best time with Jinny. Jinny was great at keeping us up to date on how Emma was doing. I definitely recommend Jinny and we'll be using her services again.”

“thanks for taking care of harper, we really appreciate your care. it was so fun to get the pics and video of her while we were gone. it was awesome that she got to hang out and play with Biscuit!”
“Adesola was absolutely amazing with Kolbi! From the moment I dropped Kolbi off, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. Adesola kept me updated with sweet messages and photos, which truly meant the world to me and made my time away so much less stressful. Kolbi came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved — it was obvious he received so much attention, playtime, and affection. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Adesola again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter! 🐾”
“Terry and his family took such wonderful care of Oreo! I’m really grateful to have met such a warm family who treated Oreo like one of their own. They even discovered that Oreo is a little TV fan 😂 Despite the hot weather, they made sure the pups had plenty of indoor interaction and playtime. Terry’s family is truly an exceptional and responsible boarding family.❤️”
“Spartan had the best time with Michelle and her family. He had lots of walks and play time. I received lots of pictures and updates so I was able to see how happy he was. We will be taking Spartan back to Michelle any time we need.”
“Trish is an excellent dog sitter. It’s clear from the moment you meet her that she absolutely adores animals and will treat your fur babies like her own. Our dogs immediately took a liking to her and always seem to be having a great time when she sends us photos and videos. As pet parents who find it very difficult to leave our dogs, Trish has been a godsend!”
“Our Jeeya has a home away from home with Nicholas and Darling!! They both take excellent care of our precious pup! She is their family when she is with them! Thank you for taking such good care of Jeeya!”
“Jenna was very flexible with my schedule, took Ela for walks, ensure she ate her food and much more! Ela has been very well cared for and was tired when she got home. I will be rebooking with Jenna for sure! ❤️”
“Nicole and her family watched Hank for 3 days while my wife and I were out of town. Hank can be dog reactive so previously we had had to settle for a kennel because it was hard to find a sitter who did not already have a dog of their own. Upon hearing that, Nicole was kind enough to block off the weekend for Hank alone. I cannot tell you how much it meant to know he was spending the weekend in a warm home with a substitute family. From the pictures and videos Nicole sent, he was happy, comfortable, well fed and well loved. Nicole and her husband have a son who was also great with Hank and in addition to feeding him, I heard Hank slept on his bed the first night. We would have Hank stay with Nicole and her family again in a heartbeat, and would encourage anyone else to do the same. 5 stars.”
“Vanessa and her family took great care of our dog! Updated us with pictures and was always available for me to reach her. She helped us out on short notice and our dog was so happy. When I arrived to their house he was excited to see me, but when we went to go to the car, he ran back into their home. So he must have had a great time! If you need a dog sitter, I recommend Vanessa.”
“I had a d family emergency and needed to fins care for my babies very last minute, and Ronilyn saved me. She watched all of my babies and was kind enough to be flexible with the deop-off and pickup times. I was already in a very stressful situation so her flexible was even more appreciated. My dogs had a wonderful time! She was also very organized when it came to making sure I had everything that belonged to my dogs. If I was not broke (I'm sorry), I would tip her substantially. I feel terrible that I can't atm.”
“We are so grateful for Sonja and her family taking our pups into their home. Sonja made it super easy to feel like they would be well cared for and would be loved as we would at home — that allowed us to relax in our time away. Our pups had so much fun with them, especially the kids! Huge thanks to Sonja and family! We recommend them wholeheartedly. ?”
“Belinda and Brent were great! They took amazing care of Raz and sent lots of photos and updates. He had a great time and we were so happy we could relax and enjoy our trip knowing he was well cared for and loved!”
