“Anothai and Mersad were lovely people to meet. They sent frequent video and photo updates of my happy dog. I like Mersad's car a lot. I was afraid that my dog wouldn't want to come back home. Top notch.”
“Morgan was such a help at the last minute looking after Carl. She sent pictures and I could see he was well looked after. It is a comfort knowing that Morgan is available should we need someone to look after Carl in the future.”
“Jeanine is wonderful! It was my first time using Rover and had such a great experience. She communicated all throughout my girls stay and sent lots of update pictures. One of my dogs allergies flared up and Jeanine was super attentive. I highly recommend using Jeanine and look forward to my girls going back to her and Teagan.”
“Honey had a blast at their house. Great yard, A/C and lots of space to chill. Really great communication and accommodating our late arrival. Can't wait to get back to Lake Country so Honey can have another vacay there.”
“10⭐️!! Luke had such a great time on his vacation — I swear he didn’t want to come home! Jaeb was great with sharing daily photos of Luke’s stay, brushed him, took him for walk, played inside and out in the yard, and cared for him when he was nervous during the thunderstorm that hit. Immediately after meeting Jaeb we knew Luke was going to be in good hands, and we wouldn’t worry one bit while we were away. We will 100% be using Jaeb again in the future.”
“Sue and Claude are great. Excellent hosts and easy communication. Felt totally comfortable leaving Sparky with them. Will definitely call on them again.”
“Another great experience booking with Chalan and Joel. I always feel comfortable leaving Bentley with them, enjoy our catchups on drop off and pick up, and really appreciate how much love he receives from everyone there. Thank you.”
“I genuinely can’t say enough wonderful things about Tessa! 🥹💕 She was absolutely amazing with my dogs and treated them with so much love and care. She took them for walks, gave them so much attention, and sent me the cutest photos and updates every single day. It made me feel so comfortable and happy knowing they were safe, loved, and having the best time while I was away. She truly went above and beyond. It was also my birthday while she was watching them, and she even surprised me with a birthday gift when I picked them up, which was honestly the sweetest and most thoughtful thing ever. 🥹💗 When I picked my dogs up, they were so happy and clearly had been so well taken care of. It’s such a good feeling finding someone you completely trust with your babies, and I’m so grateful I found Tessa. She will forever be my dog sitter now! I couldn’t recommend her enough — she’s caring, thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely such a sweet person. We absolutely adore her! 🐾💕”
“Suzanne took very good care of our senior dog, Pepper. She kept us updated with how he was doing over the weekend. She is a very nice person and I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take good care of their dog!”
“Gabrielle is sooo great and provides great warmth - in both her personality and home - for watching Rupert. Our boy had so much fun also with his good friend Juniper. On this first beautiful dat of Spring in the Okanagan, it looked like Rupert also enjoyed soaking up the sun on the balcony. Thank you so much, Gabrielle, for looking after Rupert and the great photos. Much appreciated!!”
“Viktoriia was amazing with Otis! I got lots of updates and she was great with her communication. He was nice and tired from going to the beach and playing. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Carla was great with Loki & Luna. She kept us updated everyday with pictures. Pups had a great time. Would book her again! We were late for pick up due to three airplane flight delays and she was flexible/accommodating.”
About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal-lover and pet-owner who has worked extensively with the Okanagan Humane Society, fostering many pets with a variety of temperments and personalities. Because of this experience, I'm very comfortable taking care of animals with unique needs and administering medication as needed. I currently do not have any pets of my own, allowing me time to dedicate to your furry family members! I have 15 years of experience housesitting/dogsitting and have received glowing reviews. I'm very flexible and attentive, wanting your pet's routine to stay as consistent as possible while you're away! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I’m happy to schedule a meet and greet to ensure I’m the right fit for your dog’s needs! I work a 9-5 job from home, so I can be available for check-ins or short walks over my lunch hour. I have open availability evenings and weekends. I’m very flexible, please reach out if you have any questions! Pets are welcome to stay with me in my pet friendly apartment or I’m happy to work from your home and keep your pet company if you prefer. Because I work from home, I’m able to give your pet lots of attention and care while you’re away.
“Gail was excellent. Met with her beforehand to get an idea of the layout to see if my senior boy-Harley would fit in at her home. Harley loved his companionship with her two little dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving him there. It’s good knowing he has a place to go to where he’s comfortable. Gail sent me pictures and was very communicative on how he was doing while he was in her care. I highly recommend Gail.”
“It's not easy to leave your newly blind dog to anyone. Yet the minute my Summer met Kelene during Meet and Greet, she felt at ease immediately. Our dogs usually would tell us this kinda thing. During our week away, Kelene was fast responding message, and sent photos/videos (so good I wish she could send more!!! 💕). I love she took my little blind angel to places in town. Kelene also works from home which is a huge bonus for anyone who wants their fur babies to have max attention. Lastly, Kelene was flexible which was very appreciated since we were abroad. I'd highly recommend her.”
“I think my dog had a better weekend away than I did. Amy sent updates on how he was adapting and took such wonderful care of him. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Cielo was a fabulous a sitter for our little guy. She kept us posted with pictures! She lives close to our place and it was nice to see he had another pal to chill with. Last minute accommodation was a delightful surprise. Thanks Cielo!”

“We would 100% ask Elisabeth to watch our two cats again. Both girls took to her quickly (which never happens!), and Elisabeth sent photos and updates during our trip. She made the process easy, is a strong communicator, and put us at ease. Highly recommend! :)”
About: I have grown up my whole life with animals. I currently have four dogs and four cats at home. I truly believe pets add so much love to the household. my hours are very flexible and change everyday. I work shifts at a local restaurant in oyama and also at mission hill winery. I’m usually free in the mornings and afternoons/nights vary. I cannot bring pets into my apartment, but will do whatever is needed at a clients home:) obviously each home is different and i will cater to needs, for example taking the dogs for a walk if there is no yard or constantly keeping an eye on the pet if they like to get into things.
“Georgia was very flexible and came a second time to my home on very short notice. She is great at giving medication, and I always feel safe knowing she’s taking care of my fur kids!”
“Kirstin did a great job! Chika and Phoebe really liked her. I was pleased that she followed all my detailed instructions with enthusiasm. When I came home the dogs were calm and relaxed.”
“I’ve had Yolanda do two drop-in visits in my home for my two pups (16 month old labradoodles) and she did a great job. She took them for a little stretch break and sent pics during the visit, etc. Both pups were calm when I got home and she had no problem with their little routine. Glad I called her and will have her back to hang out with my pups again!”
About: I've been pet sitting for 21 years and have spent my life caring for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I've worked as a pet sitter, dog walker, kennel assistant, veterinary assistant, and now working toward a profession of dog training, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I don't simply exercise dogs - I help them build better habits. Every walk is a training opportunity, with a focus on calm behaviour, loose leash walking, engagement, impulse control, and good manners, all tailored to your dog's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, reactive or anxious dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets requiring medication or special care. Whether your dog needs an adventure, extra patience, or a consistent routine while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own while providing plenty of updates and photos for your peace of mind. I'm currently building my dog training business full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my attention to every pet in my care. I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and overnight care. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, every dog receives plenty of individual attention, exercise, and enrichment. My goal is quality care - not rushing from appointment to appointment. Your pet's safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, routines, and comfort level before every booking. I use secure equipment, practice safe handling, and never introduce unfamiliar dogs unless requested by the owner. For boarding, dogs become part of my daily routine with structured walks, rest periods, enrichment activities, and lots of one-on-one attention. I maintain a calm environment that helps dogs feel relaxed and secure while you're away. You'll also receive regular photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Miranda had great communication and took lots of pictures. She offered to come meet and greet our scared cat before we left and this really helped him get the most out of her visits. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I have had cats in my life since I was a newborn. I feel a house isn’t a home without a cat lounging about. My entire adult life I have had a cat in my home that I have had the pleasure in providing care for after adopting them at various ages from rescues. Currently we have two rescue cats in our home who are living the good life. I would care for your cat(s) as I would my own. Endless snuggles, scratchies, and comfort. If your cat needs medication I am more than happy to administer it as needed. Your cat won’t miss a beat during your absence and will be healthy and happy upon your return!
“Hope took great care of our two cats while we were away. One of our cats is very shy and tends to hide, and Hope was thoughtful about feeding them separately to make sure both cats were eating properly. She sent us photos and updates of the cats, which we really appreciated, and went above and beyond with a few additional things we had asked. We would happily book Hope again. Thank you, Hope!”
About: I have had cats my entire life, and been trusted to care for friends and families precious (or not so precious!) cats. I have delt with sick felines, aggressive felines, etc, and am willing to take on whatever challenges are required!
About: I’m an experienced and dedicated animal lover who has cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I treat every pet as if they were my own - providing them with love, attention, and the same level of care I’d give a cherished family member. I am available all day on Sundays and Mondays. From Tuesday to Saturday please contact for availability or submit a request - I try to be flexible to fit your scheduling needs! On our walks I will take your dog on a hike, a less intense nature walk, or even stay more in urban areas depending on yours and your pets preference if known. At your home I can take your pet for bathroom breaks, clean up messes, provide feedings and water, scoop cat litter and poop outside and play with them to keep the active and stimulated!
About: I’ve always had a love for cats since a very young age ☺️ Growing up alongside my childhood cat Lilly, it taught me the basics like deep cleaning her litter box and grooming her frequently. From then on I would begin cat sitting for my family members and friends!
“Second time I had her look after my cat. Beyond amazing service, above and beyond expectations. Put my mind such at ease with such a trusted sitter. Thanks so much again!! Need peace of mind with ur pets, 100 pct recommend!!”
“Toni was great for x2 daily weekend drop/ins for my 2 cats. My shy 9month old kitten warmed up to her by the second visit. Easy to communicate with and took care of both cats feeding, playtime and litter box cleaning. Would recommend and hire again. Thanks Toni!”
About: Experienced cat groomer, medication administration, litter box slayer, cat massager, yes its a real thing, experience with birthing, certified in Pet First Aid, just a friendly neighbourhood garden cat queen, i do it all for Cats!
About: I have a 6 year old pup. Been pet sitting for over 8 years now. I just love doggos and wanna make some extra cash :) I work Tuesday, Thursday afternoons and all day Saturdays so that makes me available for Rover on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I walk my dog everyday so I can bring him along if your dog likes the company :) I treat dogs with patience and kindness. I like to go on long walks on nice days and take pups to the dog park. Cuddly and playful dogs are my fav :)
About: I am a university student at UBCO living at home with my family and 2 dogs. This gives me the unique flexibility to stay overnight and care for pets on short notice. I have had dogs my whole life, and currently have a senior rescue, and a puppy at home. This gives me the experience I need to care for all kinds of dogs, well trained, not yet trained, puppies, seniors, rescues, purebreds etc. I have been dog and cat sitting for family friends several times a year for over 3 years since high school. I am a very responsible person, extremely reliable, and communicate well. I love the outdoors and going for walks, as well as lazy days at home. I have a very flexible school and work schedule. I am a student at UBCO and have several 3-4 hour gaps in my day which I can come home and spend time with the pets. I am done my classes around dinner time, and can come straight home for the evening. On the weekends, I am a server at a restaurant in town and generally only work 4-6 hour shifts. This means I am around for the majority of the day. I have been dog walking for many years as I have had dogs my whole life. With clients, I try and keep the pet’s routine as similar as possible to their owner’s. I like to be around as much as possible and keep the pets as comfortable as they can be while their owner is away.

“My dog has been regularly been going to Suzanne's for a couple of weeks now and she absolutely loves it. As soon as I pull up to drop her off she starts scrambling to run to the door and it's great to see her so excited to be there. Suzanne is great with dogs, and they lover her too. And the cherry on top is how accommodating Suzanne is for your schedule, and how great she is at communication (she's always quick to respond!).”
“We had a great experience with Anothai and Mersad watching our dog Molly today. They are such a kind and caring husband-and-wife team, and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. Molly was very well cared for, and we felt completely at ease leaving her with them. It is such a nice feeling to find sitters who are warm, trustworthy, and clearly treat dogs with so much love and attention. We would absolutely book with them again and again!!! 😍😍😍”
“Brandyn and his girlfriend Suki looked after my dog when I was passing through Kelowna for a medical appointment. It was 38° and I could never have left him in the car even in a parkade. It was such a relief knowing he was in airconditioning! He seemed quite relaxed with them which was surprising since he is an anxious dog, so clearly they have great dog vibes. I would feel very comfortable leaving Juno with them again another time.”
“Jeanine was so great to work with and took such good care of our pup for the day. Little Teagan was so sweet too. Will definitely be bringing my dog back to her in the future”
About: Growing up on a cattle ranch in Australia, I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life - caring for them is second nature. While I don’t have pets of my own right now, I regularly look after my mates’ dogs and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m patient, reliable, and understand that every dog has their own personality, pace, and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. <3 I’m also big on communication - you’ll get plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and in good hands! I work from home full time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and supervised outdoor time throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stick to your dog's usual routine, including walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of cuddles. My goal is to make them feel relaxed, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live on a fully fenced couple of acres in beautiful East Kelowna, providing plenty of secure space for supervised play and exercise. Because I work from home full time, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive lots of attention throughout the day. I'll follow their usual routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe, loved, and right at home!
About: We had a beautiful Golden Retriever 2013-2025 who went everywhere with me and was never left alone. I loved being with him, caring for him and other friends pets, walking, brushing, veterinary drop offs and collections as well as caring for elderly dogs too. I love all dogs. Will be with the dogs all day in my home and we have beautiful trails right at our doorstep for quick walks or longer hikes. Happy to be slower if dogs are older or small or longer if they have lots of energy. I work from home so pets would never be left alone, I have set up my work to fit in with caring for our own pet as a priority. Have looked after our own dog and walked 4-5 times daily with shorter potty breaks and longer excercise trips for 12 years. I have no fenced yard but have a provincial park and walking trails directly at my door so walking is never a problem. My own golden retriever will go outside for a variety of mini walks and a longer walk daily or we can take the car to other parks if requested.
“Carla was great! We sent a last minute request for doggy daycare and she was able to accommodate us. We also appreciated her flexibility on drop off/pick up times. She was quick with communication and sent several updates including pictures and videos. Carla took Cass on a couple longer walks which he loves.”
“Emma and her partner took real good care of Allie! Allie had a great time playing with Tilley. Their place is also very tidy and clean. I appreciate Emma being able to accommodate me last minute as I needed to go for a medical appointment and my original sitter fell through. Thanks Emma! Would love to book with you again!”
“Kate was super easy to communicate with and made my dog feel comfortable right away. Her sisters puppy played all day with mine so he came home happy and tired. Highly recommend her!!!”

I’m responsible, active, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I live in a beautiful area with lots of walking trails, parks, and great places to explore. Whether your dog loves a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply curling up beside someone for some company, I’m happy to tailor their care to their personality and routine. ❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have 20 years of dog ownership, 8 years with cats, and experience caring for a horse. Professionally, I’ve worked in a doggy daycare for 2 years and as a dog groomer for 1 year, plus 3 years running my own dog-sitting side hustle. I’m confident with dogs of all breeds and personalities and genuinely love what I do. I’m currently building my portfolio as a Newly licensed Residential Property Manager. I make my own schedule and I either work from home or easily on the go, so I figured why not do a bit more of what I really love the most. I currently offer in-home check ins, sitting and walking. As an experienced Pet-Sitter, and a professional property manager, I have a unique understanding of trust and care when it comes to your home and your pet!
About: I have cared for dogs of my own and many others for family and friends throughout the years. From puppies to senior dogs, each animal has a unique personality and needs that I enjoy discovering and accommodating. Providing updates throughout the day, following special instructions for food or medication, daily walks, and a clean, safe home are some of the services and routine care I can provide. I work from home throughout the week with flexibility to accommodate lots of playtime and walks. Available for day-time and/or evenings. Weekdays are preferred but happy to accommodate weekends if my schedule permits. I live minutes from parks and beaches that I love taking walks to. I have a small unfenced, outdoor space at home and a clean, safe indoor space with room to play and lounge. Any toys, accessories, or specific training instructions that you would like to provide will be gladly received.
“Aiden and Amy were amazing. They took such good care of my dog and were great at staying in communication so I knew he was in good hands. I highly recommend them to take care of your pet.”
“We have nothing but fantastic things to say about Jutharat. Our pooch was so happy to spend time there and was treated so well. We received photos and updates about all the excitement and adventures. We will absolutely be bringing Dolly back!”
“Nicole was great with our dog Nova who is shy and reserved with strangers. Her calm demeanor and slow approach got Nova following her within a few minutes of meeting. Nicole sent us pictures throughout the sitting so we could see how she was doing. Would highly recommend having your doggo stay with Nicole!”
“Nash had a great time playing at Darcy’s and is exhausted now ha ha. He always gets excited when we drive up to her place. She takes good care of Nash. Thank you Darcy!!”

About: I have a lifetime of experience working with all sorts of dogs, including puppies, elderly dogs and dogs requiring special care and/or medications. I am also experienced in dog training and grooming. I’m currently a student meaning I spend most of my time at home. Doing online classes can make it difficult to have typical a 9-5 job, being one of the reasons I started dog walking and sitting. As well as it being a passion I’ve had since a very early age. I have a home with a fenced in open space for your fur-babies. As well as many hiking trails located nearby for your pups to explore! Potty breaks every two hours as well as 2-4 walks a day.
About: I have over 10 years of experience taking care of cats and dogs. I have one of each, making my knowledge and skills current. No matter medication administration, training, or playtime. I am here for you! I currently do casual work, so I have lots of time in my schedule to fit in some more time spent with fuzzy friends. I’m always open to a hike or cuddles.

We have an additional room and medium sized crate for separation if needed. Our condo is quiet, small and cozy.
About: I've had experience caring for many pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, and birds.

I treat every pet like they're my own and always make sure they're well looked after! I am currently working part-time and will be starting an online course through TRU in September, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care! I am able to easily work pet care into my daily/weekly routine and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I stick to each pets usual routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I follow all care instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, potty breaks, and any other specific needs depending on the pet. My biggest priority is that your pets are happy and cared for in their own environment while also being respectful and mindful of your home and belongings. I'm always happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel reassured that your pets are doing well!

I look forward to meeting and caring for your pups! :) I am at home full time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and attend to their daily needs! I am a student so I attend various classes but they are all done online and from the comfort of my own home. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and have made sure my house is a very pet friendly environment provided with lots of entertainment, water and food bowls around the house. There are many dedicated spaces if the pups (or cats) need some space or if they just want to relax in private. There are no spots that are off limits for the pups so they have lots of room to play and explore! :) our place has a chill and relaxed vibe to it so your dogs can be comfortable and feel like it’s a safe home away from home.

About: Hi! I’m excited to offer attentive, loving care for your pets. Animal care has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve been caring for dogs and puppies since I was 10 years old, raising my own pups, and regularly stepping in to look after pets for friends and family. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and sizes. Through training my own dog as a young adult and helping foster rescue dogs in my home, I’ve learned how to handle diverse personalities with patience, clear communication, and positive reinforcement. Whether your dog needs an active, energizing walk around the neighborhood, structured care, or just a calm, cozy stay while you’re away, you can trust that they will be safe, happy, and treated like family. Specialized Experience: Experienced in managing high-energy breeds, anxious temperaments, basic obedience training, multi-dog dynamics, and foster care. My flexible schedule as a part-time student and part-time employee allows me to give your pet consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Because I have substantial breaks between my classes and dedicated afternoon blocks off, I can easily fit in mid-day check-ins, walks, and feeding schedules. Monday & Wednesday: Available for morning, mid-day, and late afternoon check-ins during my class breaks, as well as full evening availability. Tuesday: Open and available all afternoon and evening. Thursday: Free during the morning and afternoon for check-ins and walks before my evening work shift. Friday: Available for morning and mid-day check-ins before my evening work shift. Saturday: Available for evening walks, dinner drop-ins, and overnight stays following my daytime work shift. Sunday: Completely free all day and evening for full-day care, long walks, and flexible scheduling. Note: I’m always happy to share my exact class times during our meet-and-greet to lock in the precise time slots that best fit your dog’s routine! If you are looking for overnight boarding or daycare in West Kelowna, your pup will love staying at my home! Fully Fenced, Spacious Yard: I have a large, securely fenced backyard with plenty of room for your dog to safely run, play, fetch, and stretch their legs. Safe & Secure: Peace of mind is my top priority. The perimeter is fully enclosed so your dog can enjoy outdoor playtime safely and securely. Comforts of Home: Indoors, your dog will be treated like family—with cozy places to rest, plenty of personal attention, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Note that my home is pet free as well

“Anothai and Mersad were lovely people to meet. They sent frequent video and photo updates of my happy dog. I like Mersad's car a lot. I was afraid that my dog wouldn't want to come back home. Top notch.”
“Morgan was such a help at the last minute looking after Carl. She sent pictures and I could see he was well looked after. It is a comfort knowing that Morgan is available should we need someone to look after Carl in the future.”
“10⭐️!! Luke had such a great time on his vacation — I swear he didn’t want to come home! Jaeb was great with sharing daily photos of Luke’s stay, brushed him, took him for walk, played inside and out in the yard, and cared for him when he was nervous during the thunderstorm that hit. Immediately after meeting Jaeb we knew Luke was going to be in good hands, and we wouldn’t worry one bit while we were away. We will 100% be using Jaeb again in the future.”
“Sue and Claude are great. Excellent hosts and easy communication. Felt totally comfortable leaving Sparky with them. Will definitely call on them again.”
“Another great experience booking with Chalan and Joel. I always feel comfortable leaving Bentley with them, enjoy our catchups on drop off and pick up, and really appreciate how much love he receives from everyone there. Thank you.”
“I genuinely can’t say enough wonderful things about Tessa! 🥹💕 She was absolutely amazing with my dogs and treated them with so much love and care. She took them for walks, gave them so much attention, and sent me the cutest photos and updates every single day. It made me feel so comfortable and happy knowing they were safe, loved, and having the best time while I was away. She truly went above and beyond. It was also my birthday while she was watching them, and she even surprised me with a birthday gift when I picked them up, which was honestly the sweetest and most thoughtful thing ever. 🥹💗 When I picked my dogs up, they were so happy and clearly had been so well taken care of. It’s such a good feeling finding someone you completely trust with your babies, and I’m so grateful I found Tessa. She will forever be my dog sitter now! I couldn’t recommend her enough — she’s caring, thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely such a sweet person. We absolutely adore her! 🐾💕”
“Gabrielle is sooo great and provides great warmth - in both her personality and home - for watching Rupert. Our boy had so much fun also with his good friend Juniper. On this first beautiful dat of Spring in the Okanagan, it looked like Rupert also enjoyed soaking up the sun on the balcony. Thank you so much, Gabrielle, for looking after Rupert and the great photos. Much appreciated!!”
“Viktoriia was amazing with Otis! I got lots of updates and she was great with her communication. He was nice and tired from going to the beach and playing. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Carla was great with Loki & Luna. She kept us updated everyday with pictures. Pups had a great time. Would book her again! We were late for pick up due to three airplane flight delays and she was flexible/accommodating.”
“Gail was excellent. Met with her beforehand to get an idea of the layout to see if my senior boy-Harley would fit in at her home. Harley loved his companionship with her two little dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving him there. It’s good knowing he has a place to go to where he’s comfortable. Gail sent me pictures and was very communicative on how he was doing while he was in her care. I highly recommend Gail.”
“Cielo was a fabulous a sitter for our little guy. She kept us posted with pictures! She lives close to our place and it was nice to see he had another pal to chill with. Last minute accommodation was a delightful surprise. Thanks Cielo!”

“Katrina was so wonderful with our puppy Oggie we got lots of photos and updates through the day and came back to a very happy puppy. I would definitely recommend Katrina and would happily book them again!”
“Leesa was absolutely amazing with our golden retriever, Moose! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves dogs and takes great pride in caring for them. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Moose came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious he received lots of attention, exercise, and affection during his stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after your dog, I can’t recommend Leesa highly enough.”
