House Sitting in Ashton

“Mélanie was an amazing sitter. She maintained contact all day to help me feel comfortable being away from my little guys. She gave them excellent care. It is always difficult for me to leave my cats and dog but she made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely book her again. Five stars!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of different kinds since I was 7. My family have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. Dogs and Cats need unconditional love and the best care. I have retired recently and love dogs and walking. Dogs love walking and it makes me happy to be part of their fun and excitement I live in the country and walk daily. A lease would be needed on quite roads to walk dogs. I live on 8 acres with bush trails and have a car to drive to customer homes to walk dogs.

“Good communication and the cats seemed to love him!”

“We loved having Danika care for our 2 Labrador retrievers in our home. Our dogs were clearly well cared for and very happy. She maintains excellent communication both before we went away and while we were gone. Immediately from our first meet and greet we knew she was a loving caregiver! Danika was able to manage our 9 month old puppy who unexpectedly went into her first heat just before we left. We were so relieved to know that Danika has experience with this. I absolutely can recommend Danika as a good choice to take care of your pets and your house.”

“Jason went above and beyond to take good care of our home and 14 week old English Setter Puppy. Just after committing to a puppy, we had the opportunity to visit France with our daughter, and visit our granddaughter. We really wanted to go, but only if we could find someone super reliable to take great care of a puppy and continue the training we started. Jason came to meet us before we booked him and put our minds at rest. He sent us daily updates during our week in France so we were able to relax and enjoy a wonderful trip. Should you need a pet sitter, and Jason can do it, do not hesitate!”

“I feel very lucky to have found Jenna and would not hesitate to recommend her to others. She is clearly an animal lover and we were able to meet in person twice before her stay which was reassuring for me. My dog is a senior and my cat very timid and she was happy to cater to their specific needs and keep me updated throughout the week we were away. She was very organized and helped me navigate the process with Rover. Thank you Jenna!”

Andrea W.

“Arya enjoyed her stay with Neeru. Neeru followed all instructions given to take care of Arya. Thank you, Neeru, for your care. I will definitely choose you again for Arya.”

“Shelby was very responsible. She took great care of my cats at our home and was very friendly with them. She updated me every day and sent me photos. When I returned, everything was perfect. Thank you 😊”

“Jennifer was great and sent lots of updates”

“Breanna was excellent! We left her with quite a crew of pets on the day of our daughter’s wedding, and she handled it like the pro she is. We’ll definitely book her again; she’s friendly, great with dogs, arrived on time, and kept the gang of 3 dogs, two cats, and two guinea pigs fed, watered, and loved.”

“I think Olivia did a good job with my two busy huskies. My house was in good order and still clean. I think she even did the laundry too. Only one cushion was eaten. The only issue was that one dog had an upset digestion and a bump above his eye, we don’t know what caused it. I would definitely hire Olivia again 😊”

David W.

“Sonya took care of my cat Milo for the weekend and did an excellent job! I received regular updates with pictures, and was able to relax and enjoy my weekend, knowing my little cat was safe and happy! I will definitely be using Sonya again as she is very trustworthy and very good with animals! Thank you Sonya, I’m so happy to have found you!”

About: Lifetime dog Mom. We have boarded dogs from 1 night to 20 nights so far. We have had Mini and teacup poodles, Dachshunds, Goldens, Labs, Labradoodles, Bichons, Schnauzers and other mixed breeds. We have great relationships with all of our pet families. We are a family of four, my husband and I have been in Richmond for 27 years in the same home. We live in a bungalow with a fenced yard. Many furry guests have enjoyed lazing in the sun in our front window, on our backyard deck and have enjoyed going for long walks in our dog friendly, and walking through the conservation area alongside the Jock River. We have two grown sons - 21 and 25. We all work full time, and there’s always somebody home. We are all animal lovers. I grew up with a shepherd and a lab. Our family has had the love of Ruby, a beagle and the most fun with Freddie, our beloved Bichon-Poodle. We laid Freddie to rest in Sept 2021. Our home is open to doggie silliness and company. I’ve done pet and house sitting for friends and family for years. Our primary interest is in hosting low or non-shedding dogs. Doodles, poodles, schnauzers, dachshunds, GMD, you get the idea. We love small to medium breeds. But check with me because I do love them all and would be willing to try any breed. I like to arrange a meet and greet and have a trial stay before committing to a long term 1-2 week stay. Our family has taken many roads trips and brought our own dogs with us over many years, now we are avid campers/glampers (travel trailer) and, when our customers approve, we have taken some of our furry guests with us. We understand both your concerns and your needs for a worry free time away. We are ready to care for your pet and give you peace of mind while away. Please note that we may take dogs from 2 families at one time during busy seasons and are well set up to manage this. Our home is a relaxed space and we always make sure the furry guests are kept stress free. I work full-time (mostly remotely) - when I have to be in the office I make arrangements with my sons to help out with dog walking and check-ins. My days ebb and flow. I can take the time necessary to get up early with your dog and get them walked, fed and settled before I start my day. I often have breaks during the day and can take them out a couple of times per day as necessary. We also have a fenced yard and a dog door to our large deck and yard. My pet sitting style is to give dogs lots of play, attention, snuggly places to nap and enough love so they don’t miss you too much while you’re away - hoping you and your pet will be comfortable never stressed. I can care for your furry family members in my home or in yours. I know it helps dogs and cats feel less stressed when they can stay home, follow their routines and be in safe and familiar surroundings.

“Becky is always so reliable and keeps us updated with pics and news on the pets/home. We trust her with our home and are super appreciative having her house sit for us”

“Jessica is next-level amazing! I almost selfishly didn’t write a review because I don’t want people to book her up but she deserves to be recognized for how exceptional she is. Jessica has an impressive background of working with dogs from working at a vet clinic to being a trainer and more, but the biggest piece for me and my Doods has been her educational background in dog behaviouralism. My AussieDoodle has recently become reactive to everything and everyone and my GoldenDoodle lacks confidence and having Jessica around to care for them allows me to fully relax while away. I’m no longer worried that someone else would not be equipped to handle some of the situations that would arise. She is also a natural talent with emotional intelligence and I could instantly see how aware she was of their emotions with just the slightest changes in their behaviour or body language. You can tell how much she cares for animals whilst being super realistic in their growth process and how that can be intertwined into our day to day lives. She is caring and kind to our Doods, but also knows how to behave around dogs who are outputting bad behaviours so as to not make them worse. One very basic example is not giving attention my Doods when they are barking and jump at her when she enters my house. Jessica watched my Doods in my home and spent some time training them and then shared some things that I could continue to help in my journey to reducing their stressors. She even shared some videos on my return so I could see their behaviours when I left them with her so I could finally understand the level of their separation anxiety and could take action to make it better. I feel so lucky to have found such a diamond in the ruff! Thank you Jessica for all of your support.”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life. My family bred Labradors, Great Danes, and Rottweilers while I grew up, so have a lot of exposure with doggy care. Although I currently only have a cat, I love all animals and would be happy to make your pet's life better while they are missing you :) I have a flexible work schedule which allows me to make my own hours, and work remotely. As such I'm here to give your pet all the attention they need! I will make sure your pet gets the best care. Love, kindness, play time, treats as allowed, as well as a gentle but firm understanding of boundaries and proper behaviour guidelines. Also happy to take and send videos and photos to reassure my fellow pet parents!

I’m available weekends anytime and weekdays after 5pm for drop offs and pick ups I have a small backyard that isn’t fenced but can put tie outs so they can still run around the yard I also can take them on walks, I have two friendly dogs that can play with your furry friend or I can put them in a separate room

About: Joelhyn has been a dog walker and dog sitter since she was about 14 or 15 years old. She started by babysitting and those families entrusted her with their pets while the family was away, to care for and clean their dogs and cats. She also walked dogs for some of the older neighbours in the area who couldn’t do it themselves anymore. Shes taken many different kinds of dogs on walks, given them baths, fed them to specific instructions and played with them till the sun went down! Kyle has owned pets his whole life, always having two dogs in the house as well as two cats and various types of reptiles or rodents throughout the household too, so specific instructions for pets is not uncommon for him. He loves to play with any type of pet & loves to go on walks with them. Joelhyn is currently working and in school both part time but would love to spend her spare days with your lovely furry friends! Kyle is in school part time as well & we both own vehicles so getting around is no problem for us! One of us should always be available to care for your pets! Bigger dogs will almost always go to Kyle but he loves the smaller pets too! Assuring doors or gates are closed before bringing animals outside & always ensuring collars and leashes are on before going outside and before leaving a clients home. Walking dogs in a safe area and making sure to give them lots of time to walk or run as well as bringing poop bags to properly dispose of later on. We would love to do a meet and greet so you feel comfortable with us & get to know your pet!
