“Amy is our go-to sitter for our little one Hazel, and she never disappoints! Once again, she took incredible care of her during this latest stay. Amy is so attentive and trustworthy, and Hazel loves going there. We highly recommend her!”
“I'm very happy with Shannon's care of my pup Nova while I was on vacation. She kept up with pics and messages most days which really helped me feel better and miss her less. Her sons also got on well with Nova and I'm really happy she had so many people to give her attention and make sure she had a good time while I was away. I will definitely use her services again when needed.”
“Charlie always comes home so happy (and tired) when she comes home from Lihua and Haoshu’s. All of the pictures and videos sent help me feel reassured that she is having fun and doing well!!”
About: I worked full time as an emergency veterinary care assistant for a few years, so I am very comfortable and familiar with all kinds of dogs! I have plenty of free time to schedule you in and drop by with short notice on weekends and evenings. Feel free to message and we can arrange something:) I can provide sitting in your home, can stay overnight or drop in for a few hours to feed and walk your dogs/cats, whatever you’re more comfortable with is good for me!
“Janine and Ben were so kind and enthusiastic about watching Kaia. They kept me updated regularly and I knew Kaia was in excellent care. They have a lovely home with a beautiful backyard in a great neighbourhood for dog walks. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them.”
“Danielle provided an exceptional second home for Duke. I was very pleased with the way she went over and beyond to make Duke feel right at home, along with her children. He had full roam of her house which he loved, and he followed her wherever she went. She even provided Duke with Pup Cups and treats to make Duke’s stay with her a memorable one. Danielle even provided me with daily pictures and updates which made me and my family more at ease. I know now, whenever we’re going to be away and can’t take Duke with us, Danielle is going to be the first person I call. Thank you Danielle for everything that you did to make Duke feel like part of your family.”
“This was my first time leaving Sofie over night with anyone outside of my family and Rachel and Michael made it as stress free as possible for both of us. She had a great time and with regular updates and excellent communication I wasn't worried at all! Highly recommend.”
“Simply amazing!!! Everything with Gian was seamless and amazing! She pampered Alaska for her week stay. Excellent communication, great updates, videos and photos - we were never left wondering how our dog was doing. Alaska came home happy and healthy, and that made us know that we had found the perfect person to take care of our special family member! I am sure Alaska will look forward to her next visit with Gian. We could not have found a better dog-sitter and will definitely keep Gian on our priority list!!”
“Henry recently boarded our male golden retriever for 5 days while we were on vacation. Pickle was very comfortable in Henry’s home, and Henry sent a daily photo and update, which was nice to have. We would gladly board with Henry again! :)”
“I recently had my first experience with Andre and his sweet family. I couldn’t be happier than this. From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Andre is knowledgeable and genuinely cares about animals. He took the time to understand my dog's routine and preferences, which was reassuring. He responds very quickly to all my messages..Milo seemed happy, comfortable and well-cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Andre to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter. I will definitely be using his services again”
About: I have had my dog for 10 years now, and I absolutely adore taking her on walks and going on adventures together. I was her main trainer in the family, even though I was merely 14 at first! I am 24 now and my love of dogs has only grown. My family and friends often have me dog-sit for them, because I truly enjoy any time spent with our furry friends, and because I believe it is incredibly important to have someone savvy take care of your dogs! I always am researching and learning more about dogs to make sure that I am giving my girl the absolute best. I have helped train puppies, taken care of seniors, and have cared for reactive dogs. I would love to help take care of your furry family members and give them all the pets they want! I am currently in a college program that is primarily asynchronous, and therefore, my schedule is pretty open! With proper notice, I can be available on any day of the week. I am more than willing to follow whatever routine you already have set for your dog, and I am happy to reinforce any training methods you are working on! I do not mind if there are special requirements, as your dog's safety and comfort is the most important thing.
“What an amazing experience from drop off to pick up. Cenayda is so kind and supportive, she kept us updated the entire time. She sent pictures, and treated our fur baby like her own. We were so happy we found her. She’s so kind, and patient! We will definitely be in touch with her again. Very happy!”
“Louise and Jeffrey did a wonderful job taking great care of our 5 1/2 yr old 27 lb Cotton. Harvey came home happy and tired from all the play time! Thank you for doing a great job Regards Chris”
“Jennifer was amazing with my dog, Tiffany, while I was away. She was reliable, provided regular updates, and took excellent care of Tiffany. I highly recommend her, thank you Jennifer!”
“Emmie was so kind and patient with my pup Milo and all of his special needs. She made me feel confident that he was well taken care of, went above and beyond to make him and me feel comfortable, and was in regular communication to let me know how he was doing. I’m so grateful for her thoughtfulness in making sure Milo had a good stay, and know I am leaving him in good hands when she watches him again in the future. Thank you, Emmie!”

I usually leave my dog, Rosie, with family when I go away, but that was not an option this time around. I was nervous about leaving Rosie in the care of a stranger, but Christine made Rosie feel at home. Christine is very warm and kind. She gave me updates and sent photos while I was away, and I could see that Rosie was relaxed and comfortable. Leaving Rosie with Christine gave me enormous piece of mind.
Thank you Karen for having Charlie. She came home really happy. We also received lots of pictures during the day.. The whole family chipped in to care for Charlie and I thought that was wonderful. We were even a little late (15 minutes) picking Charlie up due to car trouble and Karen was so gracious about it. I would definitely leave Charlie with Karen again.
Luna came home absolutely pooped from her weekend with Deborah and Eric - They showed her so much love and attention and play I think she will sleep for days!! They were attentive to her needs; made sure she got her meds and worked so well with her potential for reactivity on walks. They were so easy to communicate with and sent us so many updates to help us feel at ease while we were away. 10/10 stay, we will for sure be booking with them again.
We were so happy Haven found a home that truly cared for him. Cailyn and Roger are the nicest people! Their adorable daughters gave Haven so much love and attention. Lovely back yard for exercise and play with their sweet dog Astro! He had a great time! We will definitely use them again.
Amal was absolutely wonderful with my dog! From the very beginning, he was caring, attentive, and kept me updated regularly with pictures, which gave me complete peace of mind. It honestly felt like my dog was on a little vacation of his own. He clearly enjoyed the company and was treated with so much care and affection. He was comfortable, happy, and living just like he would in his own home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Amal to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their dog. Thank you, Amal, for taking such great care of him!
Luis was incredible with Ella, and was willing to take care of her on a last minute request. Ella and Blue got along really well and I was extremely happy to see all of the pictures and videos of Ella and Blue playing at the park and resting on the bench!! Luis was a great host, very nice, responded very quickly and he kept me updated daily with how Ella is doing would 100% recommend and definitely will bring Ella back again. Thank you Luis for taking great care of Ella.
Sherry was super helpful. She provided great communication and photo updates every day. Harley looked content and well cared for. It was very gracious of Sherry to take this emergency sit on so last minute and we are very grateful to have found someone Harley seemed so relaxed with.
Kathleen made Lucy feel so at home! I really appreciated doing a meet and greet with her so that when I dropped Lucy off, she ran right over to her. Kathleen asked all the right questions to make sure Lucy felt comfortable throughout the weekend. Lucy loved her time with her and I loved knowing how cared for Lucy was ❤️
This was the first time we left our dog overnight, and felt more comfortable doing it with Renee, based 1st on reviews, then we did a meetup, and then the day of, we explained everything we brought over, and was kept updated and feedback on how our dog behaved with the different normal events of the day, which was fantastic. We also liked the fact that they have a female dog like ours, and children who love animals, and that they know the many different aspects of the dogs. Yes, i would recommend keeping dog with this family, and would keep my dog with them again.
Dog owners who are anxious about leaving their beloved family member with a stranger can be reassured with Shannon. Shannon is professional, responsible, and communicates updates regularly. Her family (and dog Lulu) are all part of a caring team. We’ve left our Lab with Shannon for weekends and 2-week vacations and we were always very happy with the results.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
