Sara is our top choice for a cat sitter!! We were away for 10 days and Sara provided daily updates and is quick to reply to messages. We had a lovely vacation knowing our cats were well cared for. We came home to two happy cats and a tidy home. Thanks again Sara!

About: Hello! I've had dogs and cats all throughout my childhood into my early 20's. I've always loved animals of all kinds. Of course there are challenges when providing care for our furry friends but I welcome them as learning experiences. I believe in staying calm, assertive and understanding. Your pet will be in good, confident hands with me. Pet care fits naturally into my day! I’m always making time for feeding, fresh water, walks, and play. Throughout the week I keep things tidy and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, cuddles, and care. I keep things simple and stress-free for pets, whether they’re at my place or I’m at a client’s home. I follow their usual routine—feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In my home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I treat it with respect and keep their pet comfortable by sticking to the schedule and habits they’re used to.

Jordyn was amazing helping me out this week! I had a very last-minute need for a new sitter, messaged her out of the blue, and she got back to me right away so we could arrange things! She took great care of my two cats all week, stopping by each night and sending me pictures and updates during the visits. She made sure they were fed and happy, and was able to get my one cat to take his medication each night :) The app says that the stars I give her won't show up on this review, but it's definitely five stars! Thank you again!

About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, and I truly can’t imagine a home without them. Over the years, I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood—including golden retrievers, labs, and shepherd mixes—and loved them through every stage of life until their senior years. I’ve also cared for cats for more than 25 years, including fostering pregnant mothers and nursing newborn kittens. What really sets me apart is my experience with pets that need extra care: elderly, injured, or special-needs animals who require patience, strength, and compassion. Through volunteering with LAWS and the Humane Society, I’ve had the privilege of supporting animals in all kinds of situations. I’m active, reliable, and strong—I go to the gym regularly—and I’ll bring that same energy, love, and dedication to caring for your pets as if they were my own. Now that I’m semi retired, I have all the time in the world to dedicate to something I truly love—caring for animals. My days are wide open, which means I can easily adjust to your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Spending time with animals has always been one of my favourite pastimes, and it brings me joy to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s a relaxed cuddle session with a senior cat, an energetic walk with a playful dog, or checking in throughout the day, I have the flexibility and the heart to give your pets the attention they deserve. When I care for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I keep a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, attention, and plenty of time for play or rest depending on their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, administering medications, or keeping up with favourite activities. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I make it a priority to keep their day-to-day life as familiar and stress-free as possible. No matter the setting, I give each pet the patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own.

About: Growing up I was always asked to watch family or friends or acquaintances pets. I have always had a love for animals! With 16+ years of experience watching cats and dogs and having my own pets, I can confidently say that I know what I’m doing, I am efficient and I’m a trustworthy person I work for TD Bank part time so when I’m not there, I’m working from home. I go on daily walks/hikes and always like to keep moving and doing something to pass the time. I’m very flexible with time and can make almost anything work for you. I live very close to many trails, and parks. I take my own personal dog there very often. I have a beautiful apartment that already houses my eight year old Yorky named peanut and by kitten Tim. Both are super spoiled and cared for very well. I keep my home very tidy but don’t mind having any messes caused by the dogs and/or cats. I don’t mind having dogs in my house but I will not take cats in my house because I don’t think that Kevin would like that. I have no problem going to other peoples houses to care for their cats and doing what needs to be done.

About: Hi I’m Kayla! I’m an animal-loving girl who’s been surrounded by animals my whole life. I worked at a doggy daycare for two years, right up until last summer, so I have lots of hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and personalities. With my experience in a doggy daycare environment, I’m used to monitoring behaviour, recognizing stress signals, and giving each dog the attention they need (Feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning and basic grooming, caring for shy or anxious pets, multiple pets at once). I am very patient, calm, and reliable, and I love creating a relaxing, safe environment for every pet I watch. Whether your dog wants to play all day or your cat just wants quiet company, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable, keeping their routines consistent, and giving them lots of love while their owners are away. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available most days and can accommodate last-minute bookings. When I’m not out walking or caring for clients pets Im tending to my own little crew, my 3 Great Danes Kianna, Jade, Thor and my 2 cats Binoo and Delilah. Daily pet care is apart of my everyday life. Your pet’s safety comes FIRST. My priority is keeping your pet safe while walking them or caring for them in your home. I stick to your routine, use secure leashes/harnesses, and make sure the environment stays calm and comfortable. I’ll always keep you updated and send lots of pictures so you know your pet is in good hands.
