“I want to express my gratitude even more. I’m truly happy to have met Nelisa and to be able to entrust my dog to her with confidence. I believe we’ll have the chance to meet again soon! She has worked so hard over the past week, Thank you for caring for him with such warmth and kindness—he must be so grateful as well. My dog seems been well cared and happy!”


“Harry had another great stay with Rebekah! He loves her dog and her company. She sends lots of great pictures and updates so I know he is well taken care of when we are away. Thank you!”


“Thanks Natalia for taking care of Chester. We especially enjoyed getting video/pictures with updates of his stay. Chester came back extremely happy so we know everything went well, you and your daughter took good care of him! There are no further travel plans for the immediate future, but undoubtedly I will travelling sooner than later. We will be calling on your services once again when that time arrives. All the best!”


“Linda and her son were amazing dog sitters. Our very anxious dog had a wonderful time with them. We are 100% comfortable with Linda and will use her and her son again the next time we are out of town”


“Yulia was great with my anxious dog. She has a really good instinct for how to handle dogs and was perfect for him. They were also flexible and accommodating to my shifting schedule. I highly recommend them!”


“Jessica did an amazing job watching our pup! We booked a little short notice and she was great setting up the meet and greet. From the start we felt comfortable and Archer warmed up super fast to their dog Libby and their family. Archer usually has a bit of separation anxiety, but seemed distracted and relaxed his whole sit! We received lots of photos, updates, and knew our boy was happy and safe the whole time. We 10/10 recommend Jessica and we would love to have Archer stay over again.”


“Yevheniia was a great sitter for simba! She sent us photos nearly everyday along with updates about how he was doing. Talking to her was super easy and she was super accommodating. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone”


About: My family has had a cat almost my whole life! Love the sassy and loveable felines. I also love dogs! I have been dog sitting over the past two years for friends and family all different kinds of breeds :) I work full-time but have usually 3 to 4 days off in a row a week to take care of your lovely pet! My girlfriend also works from home and is amazing with cats and dogs! Between the two of us, your furry family member will be taken care of 24/7. Happy to drop in before and after work as well for drop ins. Happy to walk dogs and take care of cats in my home in Barrie. Mr. Gizmo doesn't like major changes like new friends in his house so unfortunately for myself he has decided to stay with my parents.

“The best rovers we’ve ever had! Our dog Fernie absolutely loves Ishu & Shivam and their fur babies Izzy & Spotty. They treat her like she is their own, so much love and cuddles!”


“Jeff & Mary took great care of our dog Leo while we were gone for a work trip. They are friendly and attentive and kept us updated the whole time we were away. We also met their lovely dogs Reba & Stella! Will definitely recommend. Thank you again!”


About: Other than being an animal lover, I’m a teacher, which means I’m used to caring for others. It also means I have plenty of empathy and patience. I have two fur babies of my own that are treated like family and get plenty of love and playtime in our big yard surrounded by trails. I'm around lots during the evenings and weekends, taking care of my own dogs and I'm usually available for boarding on holidays and during the summertime. Dogs will have access to a safe and large enclosed yard. They will have constant access to two fun loving (and neutered) Boston terrier companions. Lots of treats (with permission), walks, toys, comfy couches, etc.

“Jamaica was very caring, attentive and sweet with our highly anxious needy dog. Sophie was well cared for and was able to relax in a lovely environment. We recieved updates and photos that reassured us Sophie was doing well and happy . I would highly recommend Jamaica and will definitely use her in the future when we need overnight care!!”



“Jeanne was an amazing sitter to my two fur babies! She not only took care of them but also made sure our 8 month old pup was exercised enough to keep her from getting too hyper. I’m happy to recommend her services to others as well as booking them again myself. Your fur babies are in great hands with Jeanne!”


“Dianne was so great! Nobu looked very happy and entertained the whole time he was with her! He had lots of play time and all his needs were attended to! We definitely recommend Dianne and will be back ourselves!”


“You’re always nervous to leave your pet with someone you don’t know…we met Whitney prior to leaving our dog with her…she was friendly and seemed very caring…her daughters were very happy to know our dog was coming to stay for a bit…thank you again and future customers of Whitney’s should feel comfortable leaving their pet with her”


“Lincoln took to Mike right away! When we had a meet and greet Lincoln leaned against him as if they were old pals. Mike sent pictures and filled us in on Lincoln’s activities. Mike had another dog he was caring for and they got along famously. When Lincoln came home he was happy and healthy. I would recommend Mike to anyone.”


“Melly was AMAZING with our little Marty! She sent many fun updates, tons of pictures and was so helpful with all of his quirks! We will absolutely be consistently rebooking with Melly and can’t thank her enough for taking such great care of our little fella!”


About: With years and years of experience as a foster looking after cats and dogs, I bring patience, love and compassion to all furry friends. I love walking and playing with dogs, or dropping in on cats. You're dog will sleep in the bed, hang out on the couch and will have free run in the house and backyard. I'm currently home during the day and available for dog walks and to let your dog out or visit your cat. Lots, and lots of love to offer. With years and years of experience as a foster, I'm trustworthy, love walking dogs and dropping in on cats. We have a four year old Miniature Schnauzer who will love going on walks with your dog, or I can take your dog solo. Up to you. The cats are dog friendly.
