Holly was a dream! I was anxious to leave my 7 month old dog and adult dog home alone for a whole day while at an event, as they usually have one of their humans at home. Holly was quick to communicate, and most importantly my two dogs and 3 cats love her! My puppy can be nervous with new people, and my other dog has separation anxiety. However, they were both able to settle easily after I left! They were happy and relaxed when I arrived home which made it easy to decompress after a long day. Plus, one of my cats really enjoyed a 2 hour snuggle with her on the couch! Safe to say, our pets were well taken care of by Holly -- loved and cared for the way we would. The photo updates throughout the day helped ease this anxious pet mom too :)

Abigail was so wonderful house sitting for my two dogs. My flight left early in the morning and she arrived early which was much appreciated so I knew she and the boys were settled before I departed. I felt totally at ease being away knowing they were in good care. In every photo update she shared they looked so happy and comfortable. I would definitely book again with her!

Brittany took care of our 2 rescue dogs for a week and she was incredible. She was patient with them as they take a little time to get to know and trust people. She provided daily updates and stuck to their routine making us feel at ease! We would highly recommend her services. (Even though we want to keep her available for us...lol)

From the very first message it was a pleasure to work with Lynda. She is super responsive and her love for dogs is beyond obvious. She went above and beyond watching over my one year old pup as I was going to be gone overnight at an event. Lynda even offered to pick up my pup at the event and bring him back to the place we were staying at. She made him (and me!) feel comfortable and like we were definitely in good hands. Highly recommend her and will definitely book again.

Stuart was great with our 3 month old puppy, Luna. She hadn't had a lot of prior socialization, but nonetheless did well with Stuart and was definitely in good hands. Stuart sent several updates during the day, keeping me updated about how Luna was doing. Would certainly rebook and recommend!

I couldn't have asked for a better person to care for my pets and in fact my pets loved him so much I was worried when I got home they wouldn't have missed me at all. Brandon cared for them and followed the instructions for the house impeccably. Communication was clear and timely and he even helped me out when my flight was delayed. I would use Brandon a thousand percent again.

I cannot say enough good things about Mary! I’ve had my dog Jack for 9 years, and until now I had never let anyone other than friends or family watch him. Jack is a 120 lb dog who takes a bit to warm up and can be leash reactive, so I was definitely nervous at first. Mary was amazing from the start—she listened carefully to all of my instructions, kept me updated, and made sure Jack was well cared for. She went above and beyond, keeping my place clean and even letting my landlord in for some repairs while I was away. The first day I’ll admit I felt a little anxious, but by day two I was so comfortable that I didn’t even check my phone for a few hours during my conference—a first for me! Mary truly gave me peace of mind, and Jack was happy and well looked after. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!

About: I've taken care of the family pets from puppy age all the way through to seniors since I was a kid. We always had dogs and rabbits growing up, and I love the company of pets and to entertain them. I have a huge soft spot for feline friends! I take special care learning how to approach and respect animals, nervous animals tend to feel safe around me which is awesome and a testament to my character and learning. I work full time so have weekends free at the moment, specifically Saturday and Sunday. I can do evenings during the week and usually have a day wfh every week. When I had my own pets I would prioritise them and ensure they had everything they needed. I ensure that escape artists are safe and can't get out, I also am clued up on what most pets should and shouldn't eat! Also aware of when pets are appearing unwell.

This is our third time using Double Duty (Des & Michelle), and they continue to exceed our expectations every single time. They take exceptional care of our dog and our home, truly going above and beyond in every way. Our current dog is a new rescue, and we wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with him - their patience, attention, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind. It’s clear how much they truly care about the animals they look after. We always come home to a happy dog and a perfectly cared-for home. Highly recommend and will absolutely continue using them in the future!

Rachael was amazing! Our dogs warmed up to her quickly and seemed well taken care of over the weekend. Rachael sent updates on both the dogs and our house (we had a water leak that she noticed right away and she took all the appropriate steps to mitigate any further water damage until we got home). Thank you again Rachael!!

Lisa was absolutely amazing with our two boys, Bandit and Russ. From the moment we met her, she was so kind, patient, and genuinely understanding of all their little quirks. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. She kept us updated and sent the sweetest photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. You can truly tell how much she cares. We are so grateful for the kindness and love she shared with our boys and cannot wait to work with her again. Thank you so, so much, Lisa! 🐾💕

Holly was a pleasure to deal with and really listened well to the instructions we left for our 2 huskies and German Shepherd. She is extremely relaxed with the dogs and her wonderfully calm energy transfers to them. Thanks Holly and for all the appreciated updates too; we were reassured that all was well while we were away and that our babies were in not only capable, but also caring hands.

Sam house sat and cared for my zoo - my three cats, along with my four foster kittens, so quite a busy household and it was such a relief knowing I didn’t have to worry, they were so well cared for by Sam. Even my more nervous girl didn’t take long to come around. Sam followed all of my instructions, and sent me plenty of updates and photos/videos throughout each day. All my kitties got lots of snuggles and pets, it was so nice to see them curled up with her. As a sitter myself, I would absolutely recommend her and will happily have Sam care for my kitties again! Thank you again ❤️
