“Radhika took such great care of our cat while we were away! Provided very thorough updates and plenty of photos for each visit. Also very responsive to all our messages and followed all our care instructions. Our cat loved Radhika and looked very happy and comfortable during each visit.”
“Thankyou Caroline. Mairi is in tip top shape as she climbed Mt. Everest today... top of the stereo equipment in the living room center wall corner. I tried to get her to kiss me as she has kissed you... it was a no go for me. :) Thank you.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 2 years. I haven't owned my own but I did babysit my friends', neighbors', and family members' puppies or senior dogs. I have educated myself how to give care for the senior dogs and I am still improving myself in different topics; such as, how to give a bath and dog's psychology. I am working from home and I am teaching English; that's why, I can always have an eye on your pet and spend lots of time together. I have a fenced yard in my apartment and there might be my neighbors' dogs around so they can play together. I am very close to the beach and dog parks so your pet can always play and walk around with me in the nature or with other people's pets. 🐕
“Madeleine was absolutely lovely and I would definitely book with her again!!! She was always extremely communicative and prompt, left detailed “rover cards” and pictures, and really seemed to dedicate time and care during her visits with our kitty - which means the world to us. Leaving our kitty at home is always so hard, but I honestly felt very reassured knowing she was taking care of our girl!”
“Tania has been great. She is very responsive and always ontime and provides quality updates. Additionally, my Pixie seems to really get on with her, whenever I'm away for a few days my kitty is always in good spirits and well taken care of - would recommend Tania fully!”
“Fantastic family to take care of and play with our little 🐈⬛! Very accommodating with pick up/drop off. Sent regular updates on how 🐈⬛ was adjusting. They even had toys, a litter box, and feeding bowls so all we needed to take was cat, litter, and food. 100% would have 🐈⬛ stay here again!”
“Hafza took very good care of my cats while I was away. They always hide when strangers come in the house. Hafza tried her best to interact with them, enticing them with treats and toys. Most importantly they had fresh food, water and treats everyday. She also vacuumed the litter box area by her own initiative. Thank you Hafza, I appreciate you taking good care of my cats.”
“Hailey was such an amazing help to me over the long weekend and I appreciate her being there for me and Clyde! She took great care of him, and I loved getting the photo updates!”
About: I love cats and have been caring for cats of all ages my entire life. I have experience administering medication and am passionate about making sure every kitty is cared for with love in every way they need! I am a Massage Therapist so I am quite flexible with my availability. I love animals, and working in a care-centred field makes pet care come very naturally to me. I have two happy cats of my own and know very well how to provide compassionate, attentive care to kitties who get bored and need stimulation through play and engagement.
“Steffany was absolutely wonderful with our cat while we were away for 5 days. She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and it was very clear that our cat trusted her very quickly, (she even slept next to her at night) 🥹 They played together a lot, and I’m sure she truly loved being around her. She also sent us regular photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We are so happy we found her, and now we feel completely at ease about our future trips knowing our cat is in such loving and responsible hands. We highly recommend her 🤍🐱”
“I hired Alexandra to watch my two cats while away on vacation. She quickly put my mind at ease with her detailed descriptions of her two daily visits. Alexandra took the time to tell me how both cats were feeling/ acting and what exactly she did with them. She was always puntual and sometimes spent extra time with them. My cats are my little family and it was so nice to not have to worry about them and just relax and enjoy my time away. Alexandra is a lovely, caring and responsible person. I will not hesitate to hire her again and highly recommend her.”
About: A Lifetime of Loving Animals — Your Pet Is Family to Me! Hello, fellow animal lovers! My love for animals began growing up on a farm, surrounded by farm animals, cats, dogs, and all the wonderful personalities that come with them. I also had a pet rabbit, and animals have always held a special place in my heart. I understand that pets aren't just pets—they're family. Leaving them in someone else's care can be difficult, and I want you to feel comfortable and confident knowing your furry family member is being treated with kindness, patience, and genuine affection. One of my most meaningful experiences has been caring for my own beloved senior pet, who is turning 17! This has taught me how important patience, gentle handling, routine, and paying attention to an animal's individual needs can be, especially as they get older. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and a little nervous, or enjoying a slower pace of life, I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and respected. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they receive attention and care suited to them. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own, keeping you updated and giving you peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's comfort, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! My current schedule is very flexible. I am available most days and with a little notice I could be available evenings and weekend. I will do my best to provide you the care you need. I prioritize a clean, calm, and safe environment for every pet. I follow owners' care instructions, maintain familiar routines, supervise pets appropriately, and take care to keep their surroundings free from potential hazards. I respect each pet's individual needs and comfort level and provide regular updates to owners for added peace of mind. I currently live in a modest apartment with a dog park right next door.
About: While cats hold a special place in my heart, I also have plenty of hands-on experience walking and caring for dogs belonging to my close friends and family. I am physically active, love being outdoors, and know how important it is to keep dogs safe, engaged, and happy during their walks. I treat every dog with patience, respect their walking pace, and always pay close attention to safety and leash control. My schedule is currently open and highly flexible, allowing me to easily accommodate early morning, mid-day, or evening visits and walks. Since I manage my own time throughout the day, I can adapt to your pet's exact routine without any rush. I am also readily available for last-minute requests or recurring daily visits throughout the week, including weekends. Safety, clear communication, and respecting the pet’s familiar routine are my top priorities during every client home visit and walk. When performing home visits (such as cat sitting), I ensure the home remains completely secure. I double-check that all doors, windows, and gates are locked before leaving, strictly follow food/medication instructions, and handle feeding bowls and litter boxes with high hygiene standards. As a cat parent myself, I respect their space, read their body language, and never force interaction—allowing shy pets to approach me at their own pace in a stress-free environment. During dog walks, safety and leash control come first. I always keep dogs on a secure leash, maintain active awareness of surroundings (avoiding off-leash areas or unfamiliar dogs), and match the walking pace to the dog’s energy level. I also send photo and status updates after every visit so owners can have full peace of mind while away.
About: Hey there! I've been looking after pets for 3 years, and I genuinely love hanging out with dogs. I offer dog walking and can also give your pup a bath at my building's pet wash room, so they come home fresh and clean with no extra trip to the groomer. I'll stick to your dog's usual routine and send photos and updates, so you know they're having a great time. I also board cats at my condo, so if you have a scaly friend at home, feel free to message me! Just a heads up: I don't do dog boarding, but I'm always happy to take your dog for a walk. I'm available every day except Sundays, so I have plenty of time for pet care. I'm happy to do dog walks, drop-in visits, and cat and exotic pet boarding Monday through Saturday. I can often accommodate last-minute requests too, so just send me a message and we'll find a time that works for you and your pet. I care for pets in my condo, which is a clean, quiet, and secure space. Cats and exotic pets stay in a calm area where they can feel safe, and I keep a close eye on them throughout the day. I have a dedicated pet wash room in my building for baths. For dog walks, I use a secure leash and always follow your dog's routine and any special instructions.
About: I have had cats and dogs around me all my life. I definitely have more experience and charm with cats. I find the dogs in my life sense that I'm a "cat-person" and do whatever they can to prove to me that Dogs Rule! Not that it's a competition. I love pampering and talking to animals. Nothing makes me happier than sitting and talking about my day with an animal while brushing them. I work freelance and while I'm looking for that next job, I'm hoping to fill that spare time hanging out with animals. As I get use to how this service works, I'll update my availability with more details. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. I would stick to familiar walks and routines, to keep them happy and safe.
About: I genuinely care about dogs, taking time to look after puppies and older dogs by walking them, playing with them, and ensuring they feel happy. I am available all week at any time, and I am happy to come on weekends, weekdays, and holidays to help I live in an apartment but I live close to a park. I am currently not doing pet sitting at my house, but I am willing to go to anyone else’s house to pet said whenever I am needed. I living in an apartment complex. I live close to a park, but I am not currently taking pets into my apartment. I can go to other homes
About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets since I was about 10! When I was in university and wasn’t allowed pets of my own, I love getting to play/care for other people’s pets. I know how important it is to trust the people taking care of your pets, so I love getting to meet potential clients and their furry friends and making sure we are a good fit! I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of time to spend time caring for your animals! I know it’s getting cold out, so I’d be super happy to take your pups outside when you’re too busy, or to care for them inside! I play with your pets inside or out, feed, bathe, and care for their well-being! I understand the need for training, and am happy to help you in the training of your pets.
“Shaunna was absolutely lovely! She spent time with Artie and us, before we went away, and I felt really comfortable having her cat sit for our high maintenance bengal. She met all of his specific quirks and needs with compassion and understanding. Shaunna also sent me any updates I asked for, and I knew Artie was doing well and enjoying her company! Would absolutely have her cat sit in our home again.”

We booked Rachelle for a drop in visit for our kitten - she was very responsive and it was lovely to meet her at a meet and greet before the day. She is clearly well versed in cat "language" and it was so nice to see how she introduced herself and interacted with Kiwi to make him feel safe. She was communicative at all times including during the visit and she sent us lots of pictures and videos and even left Kiwi a toy. We will be very happy to book with Rachelle again the next time we need someone to drop in on Kiwi. Thanks Rachelle!
Amrita was amazing with our two cats! She gave them so much love and attention while we were away for 10 days. I got the cutest photos and she always made sure to play with them rather than just stopping in to feed/clean litter. I would absolutely book again!
Mert has a really warm personality and was so easy to talk to. He took care of my cat, CC, over the weekend and even though I was out of cell range, I wasn't worried at all because I knew she was in great hands. CC was in good spirits when I got home. See you again next time!
I’d love to recommend Andrea’s services! ❤️ She took care of my cats with so much love, care, and patience while I was away on a trip. She’s not only an amazing cat sitter but also a wonderful human being. I felt comfortable knowing my babies were in good hands. 🐱🐱 I definitely recommend booking with Andrea if you need someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets! 😊
Elina is wonderful with my senior cat, Kitten. Kitten gets anxious when I'm away and Elina makes sure she gets lots of attention and company during her visits. Elina also makes sure Kitten gets her anxiety medication! Communication is great and I know Kitten is well taken care of when I'm away.
Cyndy is reliable, attentive, and clearly wonderful with cats! My cat seems comfortable with her, which is high praise considering she’s a scaredy cat and stand-offish with most humans (aside from those she knows). Gives me real peace of mind when I’m away. Communication is great, and I feel confident that kitty is in good hands! Excellent experience. Highly recommend!
Joanna did a great job dropping in to take care of my three cats. She is very friendly, courteous, professional, communicative, and she followed my directions well. I received pictures of my cats while I was away which provided reassurance that my cats were fine. I will definitely use Joanna again in the future.
