âSerenity did a wonderful job. She pays attention to detail and keeps me updated. Very happy to have found a trustworthy sitter and new bestie for my fur baby!â


âWe continue to rehire Paula every time we need dog care. We have (3) dogs, all different personalities, and the pups are always happy when she is around. She loves, plays, does their puzzles and even cleans up after them (thank you!!) There a million positive things we could share about our experiences. Looking forward to having Paula again!â

âMaddy was fantastic with her communication & care! She provided lots of pictures and comments for every visit & always came exactly when she was supposed to. 10/10.â

About: I have 5+ years of hands on pet care experience and treat every dog like they were my own. I prioritize structure, consistency, and calm care, and I pay close attention to each dogâs needs, especially when theyâre settling in. I love keeping dogsâ minds sharp with fun trick training and scent games, in addition to running around and playing outside. My beagle, Mylo, is very warm and friendly. If your dog is comfortable, Mylo will happily play and interact with them, and if they prefer to lounge, weâll relax together. Your dog will have plenty of downtime, and all interactions are closely monitored so they feel safe and comfortable. They will never be left alone, and Iâll proactively communicate with you throughout their stay. I work from home, so I can give dogs plenty of attention. I take two long walks each day in the morning and evening, and have time during the day for short walks, play, and potty breaks. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, structured walks, rest, and lots of in house play. While my yard is unfenced, I use a long leash with a stake so dogs can safely enjoy some backyard play if they like. My schedule is flexible, so I can adapt to each petâs needs. I follow the same routine and instructions the owner provides, ensuring their petâs comfort, exercise, meals, and supervision are consistent with their usual routine.

It's always so fulfilling taking care of doggos and seeing them light up when they see me because they know it's time to play or go out on walks. If you have any questions about me or the services I provide don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting all your furry friends. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to take excellent care of your pups. I'm available for dog walking and drop in visits from 11am to 10 pm everyday except Mondays and Thursdays When I am taking care of your pets, I'll treat them like they are my own. Regular bathroom breaks, playtime, food and water as is needed. Feel free to reach out to me anytime for pictures/updates as I know we all worry about our furry friends when we are away from them.
âJessica agreed to meet ahead of time to make sure she was comfortable with my dog Bailey and to learn the tips and tricks of the house. She showed up on time for both walks and sent me lots of pictures of Bailey during the day. I would recommend Jessicaâ

About: Iâve always believed that children and animals are good judges of character, and both have always gravitated to my warm and calming presence. I have an energetic 3 year old cat named Garfield, who Iâve had since he was 10 weeks old, and I frequently look after my neighbours dog (Rosie) who is an energetic 5 year old border-collie cross, who we affectionately call my "Part-time dog." Before you choose me to look after your fur babies, I can come to your home (free of charge) to meet your animals and for you to determine whether I am a good fit. I have experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, and can be trusted to provide excellent care. I am responsible, reliable, and will try to show the same love that you give to your pets. I have returned to school full-time to pursue my Master of Social Work & I work part-time in social services. I can look after your pet around my school & work schedule (Typically after 6 pm during the week, with more flexibility on weekends). I live in the downtown Cambridge area, and am available for dog walking, overnight pet-sitting, and checking in on your fur babies. Depending upon the breed of animal, I can provide frequent dog walking (short or long walks), visits with your cat or dog, and can provide overnight pet-sitting. I am responsible, caring & diligent, and will provide a high level of care, following your instructions closely for how to best care for your pet.
âKiko was so great, really mindful about the things I mentioned at our meet and greet. I always got such detailed summaries for each visit so I knew my three cats were getting plenty of attention and love. I would absolutely book with Kiko again!â

About: I have 15 years of professional pet care experience and taught positive reinforcement dog training classes for 5 years. I owned a successful dog walking service in Waterdown for a decade before closing it to bring my passion for pet care home to Cambridge, where I have lived for eight years. I am extremely reliable and communicative, and I come with a wealth of dog handling experience. Insured in good standing with ProFUR since 2018. I am available Mon-Fri for dog walking and 7 days a week for in-home cat visits. If you have needs outside of these set business hours, I am flexible. If I can help, I always will. Please feel free to reach out! I am a homeowner, kid parent, and pet parent myself. I know how much trust it requires to hire reliable pet care, and I also understand the level of responsibility that comes with having access to someone's home and beloved pets. I take this responsibility very seriously and am proud to say that in 15 years, I have never had a client incident involving security. When your pet is in my care, I treat them with love and affection, as if they were my own. Ditto for your house! Doors are locked, pets secured, plants watered, and mail is brought in.

âWords cannot express my gratitude for June. She graciously accommodated a last minute booking for my post-op pup. Then there was a snaffu with my profile which put her out. June was quick to contact me and was overly accommodating to make sure my pup got the care she needed. All while maintaining such a positive and caring disposition. My pup also gives her âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ for the cuddles and exceptionally cute dog photo skills!â

âEmma is great with my dogs, always sends pictures and updates me on how the visit went. She is very responsive on the app and was always willing to work with me around my schedule that changes often. I would give her 10 stars if I could :)â

About: Iâm retired from policing and bring a lifetime of responsibility, patience, and care. I have owned pets for decades and have extensive experience looking after othersâ pets. I follow ownersâ instructions carefully, provide walks, medication, and drop-in visits, ensuring every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I recently moved from Cobourg where I looked after various animals and worked at the same time Being retired gives me the time to care for pets fully. I can stick to their routines, give walks, medication, and plenty of love, ensuring they feel safe and happy. As a retired police officer, I provide pets a safe, trusted environment in their home, carefully following all owner instructions for walks, medication, drop-ins, and attentive care.
About: Im very experienced with dogs of different sizes, temperaments and breeds. I did two different dog co-op placements doing doggy daycare and bathing dogs, as well as recently having a job as a bather. I have also fostered and currently have my own puppy. I have been around dogs ever since I was little growing up with friends, family and neighbours dog. I can be your doggyâs best friend.

I love all pups and will treat them with utmost importance and care! Iâm currently a fourth year university student with a very flexible school schedule leaving me plenty of time to care for and walk your pups! Although I do not offer pet sitting in my own home, I am more than willing to do this in the comfort of your petâs home. I want to make your pet as comfortable and at ease as I can if they canât be with their human!
âMarina did a wonderful job, both in caring for our cat Felix and for our house while we were away for a few days. Marina is very friendly and communicative (always getting back to us immediately) and made sure she understood everything we needed. She was flexible and prompt with her visits. We appreciated that she was conscious of COVID-19 concerns and willingly came by, masked, to meet with us before we went away. Marina did everything we asked and more, feeding, cuddling and playing with Felix and cleaning his litter box, washing his bowl, watering plants, taking in mail and even our recycle bin. Felix really took to Marina, as we could see in the photos she sent us after each visit! Marina was a great find and we would not hesitate to recommend her highly.â
âShe was amazing with my cat, Kendra made sure to take videos and pictures and talk with me to make me feel at ease while away from my baby. Couldnât speak any higher words of herâ

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6 years old , I remember how scared I was when I met my first dog , his name was sultan and honestly he was the one who took care of me and after that my love for them just expanded and still every time I see a dog I fall in love them . I work part time so so you can leave your loved one with me at nights or afternoons and for mornings we can figure something out . Note - there will be an additional charge depending on the distance I have to travel to get to your house.(estimate $6-8 for short distances) I work part time , so I am mostly home I usually take a one dog at a time unless your pet is comfortable with other pets. Before we book I prefer doing a meet and greet where we can talk and arrange something that meets your needs. I currently donât have any pets of my own here , but I have an immense love for animals especially dogs , I live in a townhouse with a back yard where we can play and we can visit the nearby parks or trails if thatâs what you want for your loved one .

Serenity is wonderful. My cat Mia absolutely loves her, and Mia was so well taken care of that I did not worry at all while I was away. It was my first time leaving Mia for so long, but Serenity was so attentive, caring and loving that it went extremely well. Serenity sent me regular updates, photos, and videos. It was lovely, and I am so happy Mia loves her. It gives me peace of mind. I will absolutely be hiring Serenity again.

Kim was amazing with Penelope. Will definitely request her again. Kim is confident and calm. Perfect for Penelope. Kim gave us feedback each day with photos. We know that P was happy with Kim, and P is very particular! They got into a wonderful routine quickly. Please consider Kim for your pet care needs. She is a wonderful person to care for your beloved pet!! Thank you Kim!!

Thank you Clarissa for coming to my aid Saturday morning when I needed to book a last minute service to check in on our 3 dogs because our first rover had ended and our flight got cancelled Saturday. We got home late on Sunday night. I will definitely use her services again for regular walking and check ins. Hopefully no more emergencies and only planned visits. Thanks again.

This was our second time returning to Michelle as our preferred sitter for our cats. She was just as amazing as the first time. Michelle's multiple photos and frequent updates on their behaviour gave us a lot of comfort and confidence in her ability to watch our cats. We highly recommend Michelle as a sitter / watcher for your pets. Thank you again, Michelle

Cannot say enough good about Emma. She is communicative, extremely reliable, and just loves animals. She even made time for a second meet and greet on a last minute booking, because we have a new kitten and she wanted to make sure she knew her before the care date. And she took to Emma right away. She is great with our 'not so brilliant' behaved pups and never has an issue handling them and loving them in spite of it! Thank you Emma!

Taylor was hired to check in and hang with my cat for a few days. She came over ahead of time for a meet and greet and was attentive and thoughtful, asking all about my cat and the things she liked. Over the course of the few days she did drop in visits, she gave me great updates, sent photos and took great care of my cat. She was super helpful, even asking if I needed my plants watered. I would most definitely hire Taylor again and refer her to anyone looking!

Adam is awesome. He came for a drop in while we were out at a medical appointment. He took lots of pictures, fed our guys lunch, let them outdoors and played lots. He was also really accommodating, driving a bit of a distance to our house to do a meet-and-greet first. We have already booked him for an overnight pet-sitting in our home next month. Adam is friendly, easygoing, attentive, good with details, and most importantly, awesome with dogs. He's a natural.
