“Thank you for looking after our sweet girl, Deja! I could tell from all the pictures and updates that she loved her walk and all the attention! We will definitely book with Delaney again!”


“100000% recommend Michelle to take care of your pet and your home! Our cat, Hannah, was treated like the Diva she is and we were able to enjoy our trip without worry. Michelle sent us photos and an audio message each day “from Hannah” that was so cute! Michelle was exactly the person I was looking for to take care of Hannah and our house. We’ll be a repeat customer!”


About: I’ve cared for pets of neighbors, friends, and family for many years and have become the trusted person they rely on. I genuinely care about animals and focus on providing attentive, consistent care tailored to each dog’s needs. What sets me apart is my patience and ability to understand each pet’s unique personality, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable in my care. I work from home, which allows me to provide full-time, attentive care to pets throughout the day. This flexibility means I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, and any special needs without rushing, ensuring your pet always feels supported and cared for. I care for pets in my own spacious home, which is free of other animals, so your dog won’t have to adapt to any new pets or distractions. I maintain a safe, clean, and calm environment where your dog can feel comfortable and secure. Being home full-time allows me to give consistent attention and follow all care instructions closely.

“We were out of the country for 22 days and Andrea took care of our home and 6 pets (two large dogs, two cats, two sugar gliders, and our stick bug colony). Andrea sent photos and updates regularly and all the animals were extremely happy to be with her! She took the dogs for long walks, hikes, and even swimming. Thank you, Aunty Andrea!”


About: When I was a kid, I had the responsibility of caring for my dog. As I got older, I would petsit other people’s animals, and eventually got my own! I have a love and passion for all animals❤️ I currently work from home, so whether your pet is at my home or I am watching at your home they always have supervision , I usually only go out for an hour or two at a time , let me know if your pet has any special needs :) I always make sure I have clear information and instructions on the care the animal needs, my animals are friendly and love socializing with other pets!

“Vanessa was amazing with my pups and keeping me updated. They were so tired when we got home! She took great care of them. Our senior needs a lot of medications and Vanessa was diligent about giving them to her on time. Would highly recommend her. The dogs and I can’t wait for her next stay.”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I have had two dogs of my own, one Shih Tzu and one golden retriever. Have a lot of experience with walking dogs and pet sitting for my friends. I’m skilled in reading canine body language and strive to ensure the pet is as safe and comfortable as possible. Dogs are family and it’s always difficult for them to be away from their owner, but I try to make the experience as good as it can be. I work full time remotely so I have plenty of time to spend with pets and make sure they get their walks in throughout the day. I have a two storey apartment with a balcony. There is plenty of areas around the building for a nice dog walk and there is a dog wash station as well. I would normally let the dog roam free inside, unless the client prefers otherwise.

“Mike was very accommodating. He not only exercised my girls but fed and played with them. What I did not expect is that he would leave my house and yard cleaner than when I arrived. He also kept a good communication stream up which helped as it was first time I had dog sitter come to me. I would highly highly recommend him.”


“Kaitlin always does an amazing job watching my cat. She especially helped me out when my flight was cancelled and agreed to stay at my condo another night on short notice. Her flexibility was much appreciated!”


About: Hey! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and being new to this area and not having a companion around has gotten lonely. I’d love to look after your dog(s) to get my puppy fix that I’m missing not being able to have one of my own at the moment. I’ve looked after several dogs in my day as well as my own house pets. I’m active and love to take dogs on long (or short) walks depending on their needs. I’ve had shy dogs and high energy dogs and I can keep up with anything you throw my way!! I work from home during the day so I’m available for at home sitting during business hours but afterwards I’m free to work around schedules as needed. I’m free on weekends and always willing to give a helping hand to a dog lover. I have a fenced area in the backyard as well as an area to roam. I’m close to parks and trails and would love to go for walks with your dog(s). My apartment is on the ground floor so it’s not far to get outside when they have to do their business. My apartment is small but cozy and lots to do to keep your dog(s) occupied and multiple areas to nap if they’re feeling lazy.

“Carla made an instant connection with my anxious little Sealyham Terrier, Phaedra and I knew that she was the right person for the job. Our home was spotless, our dog was happy, content and spoiled (as she expects) while we vacationed without a worry. Carla provided updates and photos and made our holiday extra special because we knew our beloved dog was being well cared for and loved in her own home. We will always use Carla from now on!”


“Stephanie did a great job watching my two dogs overnight. She stayed in touch and cared for my dogs like they were her own. I would highly recommend Stephanie if you are looking for a dog house sitter.”


About: I am a registered nurse looking to take care of dogs and cats. My dog passed away Feb 11 of this year and I am really missing my baby and spending time with furry friends. I am not yet ready to get another dog so I am looking to love and care for others. I inherently have compassion for all dogs. I am working as a travel nurse, and completely flexible as I choose my own short term contracts. I am able to travel around the province and accommodate schedules. When I was working full time it was difficult to find help that accommodated a nurses schedule so I’d love to be able to do that for someone else. I have a very flexible schedule therefore I’m able to come to your house or take your baby out for a walk, I love being active and engaging with the pets I care for.

About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. I’m currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve been an animal lover and owner since I was a child. As an adult I have done overnight dog sitting for relatives/friends and later progressed to caring for other people’s dogs, in my home, when required. I’m currently retired and have some time to dedicate to pet sitting and boarding. I have 2 puppies and one 14 yr old of my own. I have a small fenced yard and closed off front porch so pet escapes are less likely. My 2 pups are in their large playpen (fenced area) in my living room snd are crated at night to sleep. My older dog is not in a pen or crated.

“Richelle was an amazing sitter. This was my first time using this service and she did an amazing job taking care of the house and my pup Moe! She made me feel at ease and gave me updates with photos and video. Richelle took the time to socialize Moe with her own dogs which was something we were struggling with. She recognized his needs and quirks and worked with him and I absolutely am so happy with the job she did! I will be a repeat customer and give Richelle my highest recommendation.????”
