2. Michelle M.
“Michelle is an amazing person and she really cares about animals! She’s really sweet with her bunnies and always makes sure they’re happy and well taken care of. She was always really good and caring when meeting my dog because he’s super shy. And he was really comfortable around her. So you can rest easy that your animals will be on good hands!”

4. Maria K.
“We recently had the pleasure of having Maria care for our cat, Phoebe, while we were away camping for three nights. From the moment we booked her, Maria's professionalism and love for animals were evident. A few weeks before the sitting was scheduled, she arranged a meet and greet at our home, driving over to get to know Phoebe and learn all the necessary details about her care and our house. Maria's expertise with cats was immediately clear, as she and Phoebe became close friends within just 2 minutes. Throughout our time away, Maria kept Phoebe content and followed the feeding schedule precisely. Her regular updates, complete with pictures and videos, gave us peace of mind, knowing that Phoebe was in great hands. We are beyond happy with Maria's service and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. We highly recommend Maria to anyone in need of a pet sitter who will treat their furry friend as their own.”
5. Emma B.

10. Megan L.
About: I had my childhood dog for almost 15 years. She was my soul dog, my absolute world. I am looking to fill my spare time with taking care of other dogs so that I can give them love and attention while their owners are busy or away. Taking care of dogs gives me a sense of purpose and I know that I would want someone to love and care for my dog if I needed the help. I work full-time Monday-Friday but I’m available after 5pm most days and Wednesdays I am available before 2pm. I am home all weekend most weekends so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your fur babies. I get up early in the morning so I am able to be up and out for the early morning walks and I am a night owl by nature so I am also always ready for night time potty breaks or walks. I am a homebody by nature so I am always comfortable staying in and cuddling with a pup and watching a movie. I do also love nature though so you can often times find me down by the lake or on a trail for a nice long walk. I have a small senior dog living at home who loves other dogs so he can be playful at times but also knows how to give other dogs their space when wanted. I also live with a toddler who has been around dogs his whole life who loves to give them attention and play with them, but he has also learned to be very gentle with them. I do not have a back yard but I have a closed off balcony and a park in my complex with plenty of space for dogs to run around and go for walks. I live in a 2 storey condo so there is plenty of space to relax and move around.

“Katie visited my cat Jennie twice a day, she sent detailed reports with pictures after each visit, keeping me updated. Besides feeding and cleaning, she played with my cat. Jennie was happy. I’m very glad that my cat was looked after by Katie.”
12. Alex M.
“So happy to have found Alex to complete drop in visits for my cat - she helped take the fear and uncertainty of leaving him, away from my partner and I :) She was super professional and always sent a photo update. She also kept in good communication with us, which we found very helpful. Would def book again!”
13. Viktoriia S.
About: With a wealth of pet care experience, I stand out through my unique abilities, including senior care. Every paw gets personalized attention, ensuring a tailored and loving experience for your furry companions. I'm currently studying now, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and can walk your ponytail friends anytime Monday through Sunday. I have a large fenced back yard, as well as a car if you need to pick up your lovely pet or bring them back.
