“Krystina was an amazing choice for pet care for my little puppy. She demonstrated a lot of skill and knowledge when I met with her for Fiona, who took to her immediately. I will be using Krystina long term as she was outstanding.”
“Kelly took wonderful care of our two pups! She was quick and flexible to do a meet up when we first connected and was a pleasure to meet with. Her communication was fantastic and she really did great care of them. I can tell from the photos she shared they were very happy and loved! We look forward to her caring for them again soon over the holidays!”
“For the first time in two years I had to leave my rescued shihtzu Gracie with another person for the weekend. However, Doris had walked Gracie before so they knew each other and I had developed trust in her. Doris was amazing with Gracie. She spoiled her with extra walks and lots of love. She kept me updated with pictures and texts and when I returned home she gave me a full report on the weekend’s activities. Doris is a warm and caring person and I would highly recommend her to any person looking for a mature and responsible walker/sitter.”
“Jade took wonderful care of our two dogs and our home when she stayed for overnight dog sitting. She kept in touch quite regularly and sent pictures and video. I felt very comfortable they were safe in her capable hands.”

“What a relief to have a person I can trust to look after my dog so well while I am away! My dog would not do well boarding so this worked out perfect. From the moment I met Deanna I knew that it was a good fit. Thank you Deanna for taking the time in advance to meet Mona to be sure that everything would go smoothly, for the updates and pictures and for keeping my home in stellar condition upon my return Can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend”

About: I’ am a passionate animal lover and proud dog mom to two adorable pups, a lively German shepherd named Rover and a sweet Golden Retriever named Tiffur. Leaving them behind in Sri Lanka to pursue my postgraduate studies was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made, but they remain my biggest motivation. I've always had a natural connection with animals and love working with them. My passion led me to join the Kennel Association of Lanka (KASL), where I helped organize international dog shows and had the honor of serving as a ring steward. I’ve also volunteered with the Golden Retriever Official Club of Sri Lanka, where I supported various events and initiatives for this amazing breed. Whether it's training, caring for, or simply spending time with animals, I find so much joy and fulfillment in what I do. I truly believe my love for animals drives my dedication, making me great at building trust and understanding with them skills I bring to everything I take on. I’m doing my post graduate studies in canada. I have plenty of time to play with your dog I’m available most of the days. I used to fo pet sittings and dog walkings in Scarborough area but I moved to barrie area. I love to spend my time with dogs almost everyday. I can share all happy dog pictures I took. There’s this switch that goes off in my head whenever I see a dog. I love to cuddle them, play with them. I know how much you love your dog because I’m a mom to two beautiful fur boys. I will treat your furball like my own

Services will be at your home. If your dog is ok in the car, we can go on adventures. I will treat your house like my own!
“Steven was a brilliant sitter. He truly loved the dogs and they were so calm and comfortable with him. He didn’t mind them stealing his jacket to sleep on and he kept sending us pictures to let us know they are fine. We would recommend Steven to anyone who can get him in the local area. He has genuine affection for the dogs and isn’t doing it just for the money. He is flexible with timings (like if you’re delayed by a few minutes here and there, he doesn’t mind). True gem and we hope to hire him again!”
