“Brandon is a fantastic communicator and he took excellent care of my very shy cat brothers. They were calm and settled when I returned home. I will definitely use Brandon going forward for my cat sitting needs.”
“Casey is amazing! She has been very reliable and goes above and beyond to make sure our Archie gets out for a walk/ played with and I know he is always in great hands. I would highly recommend Casey if you need someone to help out with your pets!!!!”
“Andrea has looked after our boys several times now and every time we know they are in the best hands! She always updates us and sends us lots of photos which we appreciate so much! Will absolutely be coming back to her when we travel again!”
“Britt is extremely patient and gracious. My dog is not the most easygoing and Britt came by twice before I needed her just so that my dog would be comfortable when she came by without me being home. She listened and respected my preferences, and my dog’s preferences. It was really important to me that my dog was familiar and comfortable with Britt, as she isn’t with many people. Britt was absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”
“we needed someone to look after our dog at our home for 1 hr, while my wife had some medical exams, and our dog loved his time with Camryn. I would recommend her to take care of your dog. She has easy, quiet mood that somehow calm dogs haha.”
About: My husband David and I treat every dog and cat like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As previous service dog raisers, we have experience with both energetic puppies who need play, patience, and training basics, as well as senior pets who need a gentler touch, extra comfort, and a steady routine. We are reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether that’s long walks, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship. You’ll always get regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in loving hands. We have a flexible schedule, which means we can easily adapt to your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening snuggles. Because we work our day around pet care, we can keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Having this flexibility also allows us to give extra attention, longer walks, or just more quality playtime if that’s what your pet loves most. Your furry friend’s comfort and happiness always come first, and we are able to adjust our time to make sure they feel cared for and loved every day. When we’re caring for pets in a client’s home, we treat it with the same respect we would my own. We follow your instructions carefully—feeding, walks, play, medications, or snuggle time—and make sure your pet feels loved and cared for in their familiar space. We also like to send regular photo and video updates, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and safe while you’re away.
About: I grew up on a farm basically so I am used to being around all kinds of animals of all sizes! I have experience pet sitting dogs with anxiety/separation issues, dogs with mobility issues, dogs that need medication & I don’t scare easily. I am currently open for the summer trying to find jobs to stay busy! I am a SMU alumni who is attending grad school in the fall :) I am able to do whatever your preferences are for you and your pet! Having a new person around can be quite intimidating for your pet so I want to respect their boundaries and make sure they are not only well taken care of, but also feel safe with me

“She did a great job at taking care of my three kitties. The wet food kitty dishes were cleaned with each visit, and so were the empty tins for recycling. Litter was cleaned daily and put into the outside bin. She has a positive happy attitude and even watered my front porch plants which I had forgotten about. She is trustworthy too if you worry about your home. She is Smiley approved!”
“Marlie was wonderful for the job! She took such good care of our cat Zoey while we were away. She dropped in daily to feed her, change her water and check her litter. We appreciated the daily communication and photos. We will absolutely book again with Marlie in the future.”
About: Hi there! I’m Melanie, a Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT) with the Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians (OAVT). Caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, and my very first job was at a dog kennel. That experience opened the door to working in an animal hospital, where I realized veterinary medicine was exactly where I belonged. I went on to earn my diploma as a Veterinary Technologist and have since worked in several small-animal clinics as well as emergency hospitals. I’ve cared for animals of every size and temperament, and I’ve built strong technical skills through hands-on work in anesthesia, surgery, patient care, and fast-paced emergency situations. I have a genuine passion for animal care and the expertise to support pets with both basic and advanced needs. Whether your pet requires medication administration, injections, subcutaneous fluids, or just a loving and attentive companion, I’m here to help. Your pet’s comfort and well-being will always be my top priority. I currently work full time, so my availability is limited to evenings and weekends. I have access to a reliable vehicle and hold my G license. As a Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT), I uphold a high standard of ethics and care that aligns with the Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians (OAVT). I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets and truly understand how important they are to your family. I’ve also house-sat for several families, and my goal is always to respect your space and leave it even better than I found it.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have hands-on experience caring for pets. I currently have two cats of my own, and I’ve also raised and cared for a puppy, so I understand the patience, attention, and responsibility that comes with caring for pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, giving lots of love and attention, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions to make sure their pet feels happy, safe, and cared for while they’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and give them plenty of love, attention, and care! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. With availability across morning, afternoon, and evening hours, I easily schedule visits around feeding times, potty breaks, and playtime. Whether it's an early morning check-in or an evening drop-in, I structure my day to ensure every pet gets consistent, on-time care and attention. When providing drop-in care at a client's home, I focus on safety, cleanliness, and keeping your pets on their normal daily routines. I strictly follow all feeding, playtime, and care instructions, make sure feeding and litter areas stay clean, and always double-check that all doors, gates, and locks are secure before leaving. I treat your home with total respect and ensure your pets get quality, individual attention and love every time I visit!
About: I’ve gotten experience with various animals over the years. I love to support them and help them feel happy and cared for. I’m careful not to teach bad habits. I listen to what they want and need. Tell me what you need and I can fit something in! I am available most of the time in someway - so we can work it out! I use a calm tone where I don’t overexcite the animal and provide good manners reinforcement and also play and engagement. I make sure I am predictable and don’t cause the animal to be uncertain. I follow training and routine that the animal is most used to. I assert my boundaries so the animal knows what to expect from me. I like to give the animal space and respect. I also love to show affection or approval through touch sometimes and especially through positive communication and rewards.
“Colleen came to feed our two cats, one of which is a rescue and is very timid. Both cats came out to see her when she arrived which is amazing! We were very happy with Colleen’s service and would recommend her. Very reliable, polite and professional!”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs, so I’m pretty comfortable with all ages and their different needs. I honestly just really love dogs, I have one of my own too, so I totally get how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. I’m patient, caring, and I just try to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Right now I’m free every day and anytime because I’m on summer break from university. I could walk or visit your dog in the morning, afternoon or evening. Got it—here’s a version that fits client’s home only and still sounds natural: When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I stick to feeding schedules, give fresh water, take them for walks, and spend time playing with them and keeping them company. I also pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they need lots of activity, extra patience, or just calm companionship. I keep things clean, respectful, and make sure your home is taken care of as well while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed, cared for, and not stressed while you’re gone.

Brandon is a wonderful pet sitter, always caring and thorough. Since finding Brandon, I don't worry about my pets when I'm away. There is always excellent communication and the best photos. When I return home, my pets have clearly been loved while I was away, not mad and clingy like they have been before. Brandon is the best, and I 100% recommend. 🐾
Sherry was wonderful. We had a meet and greet 2 days before we needed her to insure that she and Kira were a good fit and I was able to provider her with the information she need. Sherry arrived on time for her visit and provided pictures of Kira when she arrived and some pictures on their walk as well. I will be more than happy to have Sherry look after Kira again. Thank you so much Sherry!
Nayya took such good care of my "lads". She took them outside, played with them, and gave them treats, in addition to regular feeding and litter box cleaning. My cats responded to Nayya in such a positive manner, which is a testament to her love of pets. Nayya left me detailed reports each day, which included several pictures. I have booked Nayya twice and would not hesitate to book her services again!
