“Suki loved her stay with Jennifer and family. She felt at home and comfortable right away. I would HIGHLY recommend Jennifer and her pet sitting services to ALL my friends with furry people. She is very warm and friendly and was great with Suki. When we came home after our weekend away Suki was relaxed and happy.”
“Lea was amazing with my cat. He's normally very shy and hides the whole time, but she convinced him to come out! Her home is very clean and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Sayali took great care of Frank and I was able to enjoy my time knowing he was in good hands. Her updates were very helpful and Frankie loved playing with her dogs in the backyard!”
“Adlynn and her family, two doggies and partner, did an outstanding job of caring for my dog. He was very nervous and not used to being away from me. Adlynn was able to gradually get him to feel safe and he really enjoyed the rest of the time there. I would highly recommend!”
“Takes good care of pet. However, it is good note that she seems to take care of other dogs at the same time as far as I could ascertain … also, she has a very friendly golden retriever, which is good. My main tip to her is that she should take more videos and photos throughout the day of the babysat dog and interactions with her other dogs. Regardless of all the points mentioned above, the service isgenerally high quality. We would book her again.”
“I have never felt Maggie was soooo safe and secure. She absolutely loved it in their home. I cant say thanks enough for making this such a wonderful experience for us! Mags and I love it there and will be using this connection as much as possible :)”
“Michelle was great-my girl, Sadie, had a blast. Michelle kept posting pictures to me throughout the day. I could see that my girl was having fun and was being treated well. I will definitely use Michelle for any future dog stays I need.”
About: Hello all! Me (Owen) and my girlfriend (Saoirse) are excited to host a vacation for you furry family member! Whether you’re away for the day or the week, your furry friends will be living it up. We have both had dogs since we were children, and have been trusted by many friends and family to take care of their pets. We live in the dog-friendly Wortley Village neighborhood, close to many parks, walking trails, and with loads of pee mail to be read. We would be happy to accommodate your schedules for feedings, medications, walks, potty breaks, and play time. We would be happy to take multiple dogs from the same household. We would like to set up a meet and greet with your dog to make sure it is the right fit. We look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! My girlfriend has a hybrid structure and will be home most days. I work from home everyday and have loads of time to spend playing with your pups! We have a partially fenced in yard and a secure, clean, clutter-free single level home. We have the use of regular length leashes and a long leash to allow for your dog to explore while being secure. We would like to set up a meet and greet with your dog to make sure it is the right fit. We are two dog lovers that are happy to attend to your dog’s needs.
“Catherine is an amazing person who really loves what she do. I will definitely ask for her service whenever I need a long term boarding period for Vicky. I also confidently recommend her for anyone who needs the same service. Thank you Catherine for all the care and love that you provide to Vicky and we really appreciate keeping us posted with daily photos and videos.”
“Jilly stayed for the day today with Amanda and Brock, her first time with them. And everything went so well! I received some photos and comments from them during the day, updating me on how Jilly was doing. It was so great to have that reassurance that all was good. Jilly had her 2 daily walks, lunch and Kong treat as requested. And I brought home a happy and relaxed pup! Thank you Amanda and Brock. You made us feel very welcome and we will definitely see you again soon.”
“We had Shiloh stay with William and his daughter for a few days while we went on a family trip to the US. He was very good about communicating and sending updates and photos. Shiloh seemed to be very happy and comfortable with them. They were very nice and I would definitely contact them again the next time we go away. I would recommend William for anyone looking to make sure their dog is in good hands”
“Great experience! My dog had an amazing time with lots of adventures and attention. I loved getting updates and photos throughout — it gave me so much peace of mind. Would definitely book again!”
“Mohiny & Lucas O. were the best puppy sitters ever!! We met for a meet and greet and connected with them right away - we just knew they would take exceptional care of our pet. Their genuine love of animals was evident from the start. Our pet was very happy with them and enjoyed all the walks she took with Mohiny & Lucas O. Mohiny & Lucas O. sent us lots of pictures of our pet in action and kept us very well informed about how she was eating, resting, and playing throughout her time with them. We would happily have them look after our pet anytime knowing that she will be very well cared for and loved. Thank you, Mohiny & Lucas!!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Nora! She took wonderful care of Kobe over the long weekend while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Nora is caring, dedicated, and attentive to the little details. We especially appreciated that she asked thoughtful questions before giving Kobe treats or making decisions about his activities. Knowing she respected his diet and our instructions gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with plenty of pictures, and we loved seeing Kobe enjoying his walks, getting cuddles, and even being her little gardening assistant! He came home happy and very relaxed, which says a lot about how comfortable he felt with her. We would absolutely book with Nora again whenever she’s available and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will really care for their dog. Thank you, Nora, for making Kobe’s stay so enjoyable and allowing us to enjoy our weekend without worrying!”
“I've used Rover a few times, and I can easily say Carrie is the best sitter we’ve ever had. My dog is small, very sweet, but usually nervous around new people and unfamiliar environments. Carrie was so patient and made her feel right at home. Throughout the stay, Carrie sent regular photo and video updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while away. I felt completely reassured that my dog was being loved and cared for. I will definitely be reaching out to Carrie first whenever I need a sitter again. Thank you so much, Carrie!”
“Jianping treated my boy Teddy so well. This was Teddy's first time away from home and he came back to us happy and healthy. We were grateful for the experience Teddy had with Jianping and his family. I would consider them again and recommend to others.”
