“Zoe took great care of our Jasper and our home. She graciously got his pills into him even when he was a grump and she sent lots of updates and pictures to keep us in the loop while we were away.”
About: I'm a cat foster with a local animal rescue, and have lived with pets almost all my life. I have experience with clicker and target training with both dogs and cats! My first clicker trainee was my cat, Oscar. With the rescue, I gained experience with diabetes treatment. I'm always happy to learn more about animal care. I have a fairly flexible schedule, which lends me the freedom to spend more time with your pet. As I currently have a foster cat, I am currently unable to offer boarding, and need to be at my home at least twice a day to administer medications. I have extensive experience with pet needs such as feeding, crating, nail trimming, bathing, and minor medical attention such as giving medications and diabetes management. I regularly research animal behavior and training methods to help me be a more effective support. I'm flexible about visit times, locations, dog size, and pricing. I have some physical limitations and only use transit. Feel free to send me a message and we can discuss things further. I'm happy to discuss alternatives that would be suitable everyone.
“Andrea is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She fives regular updates and sends lots of photos. She was able to give my fussy dog his meds without any issue. She also spent lots of quality time with them and even took them for additional walks.”
“I had a great experience with Saghar as my Rover house sitter. She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, providing regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. She was attentive to my cat’s needs and clearly took the time to understand her routine and personality. I also appreciated how observant she was - nothing went unnoticed, and she kept me informed of even small details. On top of that, she left my home clean and well cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”
“Nathaniel watched my dogs at my home for a week while I was gone on vacation. He was the best house/ dog sitter I've had. Very responsive and took care of my house and 2 large dogs while I was gone. He went above and beyond...”
“Very prompt, reliable, and responsive! Sent plenty of updates and took care of any issues when we were away. Adrianna and Jack went above and beyond to take care of things like shovelling our walkway and offering to wash bedding when they were done, and our kitties were clearly very well cared-for.”
“I can't say enough amazing things about Angie. She sent me photos everyday I was away. I loved during our meet and greet that she brought a note book with her to take notes and no other pet sitter did that, it's why I picked her and that Wookie liked her. Angie was here for 11 days and my cat Wookie loves her. Angie is so sweet and caring. I really can't recommend her enough. I will always use Angie for my pet sitting needs.”
“We had a great experience with Saoirse! She was fantastic with my pups and an overall kind and thoughtful person. Kept me updated the entire time with photos and my dogs were super happy when I got home ? thanks again! We will definitely ask her to come back next time we are out of town.”
About: Hi, we are Ayr & Lori, a responsible, trustworthy couple, married since 1999! We do not have our own kids or pets but we have had many years experience caring for other peoples pets (mostly dogs as we have cat allergies). We love to travel, read, garden, fly fish, camp and meet new people and pets. We have been many places, have stayed in many different types of accommodations and have cared for many types and numbers of dogs. We are capable of yard maintenance, errands, and general upkeep of properties. We are used to maintaining a home as we do own 2 properties in our city that we maage as rentla properties. So, we fully understand what a home owner is looking for for upkeep in terms of cleaning, yard maintenance, pet help, taking in mail, and respect for the property itself and neighbors in the area. We both work from home, running online businesses and so we are also available all day for the care and attention your pets deserve. We are very low key, quiet people. We are honest, reliable, and loyal. We make fast friends and look forward to meeting you and helping you with your house and pet sitting needs. Sincerely! When we are in the city we are available any time to help you out! We travel quite a lot and only need some advance notice to be available. We are full time travellers in our RV and so we would prefer to care and love your pets in your/their own home. Additionally, we find that your pets are also far more comfortable with all their familar walking routes, yard and environment.
“Denis is a great pet sitter. It is the second time he has stayed with our cats, and we feel at peace when we leave them with him. He always sends pictures and updates on how everything is going. He is definitely a trustworthy sitter, and we strongly recommend his services!”
“Stephen took excellent care of our pets and our home. He stayed at our home for just over 3 weeks while we were out of the country and we had complete piece of mind with him taking care of our 3 cats and our dog. Stephen was very responsive and clear with communication. He also ensured that he visited a couple of times before house sitting so that our anxious dog would be more comfortable with him. I completely recommend Stephen for your pet needs!”
“Catherine watched our three pups while out of town for a hockey tournament. She sent lots of photos and videos and kept us updated on how they were doing. They're normally super excited to see us when we get home but based on the attention they got from Catherine, it's like we never left. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Catherine again and definitely will.”
“Emily looked after our shy rescue Goldendoodle for a week, while we went on holidays. She did an amazing job!!! Emily truly loves dogs! She is currently taking a professional dog walking course! She was in contact with us the entire time! She sent us photos and videos throughout the day! She even slept over at our house, our rescue dog felt secure!!! Emily took our dog to the dog park for walks! I am happy that we found her! I will for sure book with her again in the future!”
“Carmen looked after our very spoiled Labrador Retriever for 3 days, and he was very well cared for and was a happy fellow throughout her stay. She sent us lots of videos and photos, which always puts our minds to rest when we leave him. She even took care of the trick and treaters who came to our house on Halloween! Thanks so much Carmen, we will definitely be calling you again! 10 Stars :)”
“Sara was fantastic! We booked a two week trip and then realized our previous sitters had all had their own families and unable to watch our dog. We were so grateful to have found Sara as she took incredible care of our girl, sent adorable daily photo updates, and our house was exactly as we had left it. But what stood out for us was that our dog was so relaxed when we got home because for us it was a sign she had a great time while we were gone and was taken care of amazingly. We will without a doubt use Sara again in the future.”
About: I have experience with different animals from small dogs to larger breeds > 100lbs I don’t have any pets of my own but I have volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs and giving pets and cuddles to the cats I enjoy walking in the river valley, checking out new neighbourhoods, hiking, and taking advantage of any opportunity to be around animals I am currently working part-time/ casual so my schedule varies but I mostly work evenings and have mornings and weekends off. If there is a stretch of time that will be needed, I can accommodate if sufficient notice is given I would ensure the dog is given a long/short walk depending on needs, letting out to use the bathroom and routine feeding. Lots of play time with balls or toys Cats- I will cuddle or play with your cat(s), feed if needed, clean litter as well

Rachel is the best. She was so great with my dogs. She is excellent at communication and really took care of my dogs while she was here. She helped me out of a tough situation when I had to extend my stay out of town. Austin and bunny were in great hands and can't wait to hang out with her again!
Vladyslava was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond while house sitting for our cat. She was incredibly flexible, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. She kept the apartment clean, kept me updated, and clearly cared so much about our little guy’s comfort and routine, taking the time to understand his personality and preferences. We really appreciate all the care she put in. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone.
Denis was amazing, and the perfect pet/house sitter. My dog and cats were all enamored with him, which is always the best sign. He even helped take care of my plants, which is such a relief. He sent daily photos and messages and was easy to coordinate/communicate with throughout the process. One of my cats is diabetic and he was able to administer the insulin injections, twice daily, without issue. I can confidently recommend Denis for any pet needs, and will definitely use his services again. Thanks again Denis! 🐈 🐕 🪴 🥰
Well, the pups sure had the royal treatment with Pam, they were sad to see her go and it was their first time together. Pam is great all together, pups were pampered and stimulated and bounded with Pam immediately. She’s outgoing and very communicative, great and good natured gall. Booking her right away again to make sure we secure our spot 😊
This was our first time having someone housesit for us, and Megan made the process so easy! We have a new kitten who gets quite anxious when we leave, and Megan did an awesome job keeping her entertained and content. She provided the appropriate amount of updates on the cats and was super responsive throughout. We are super grateful to Megan for taking care of our little ones (and our house) - highly recommend!
10/10! Nadia did a fantastic job watching over our home and animals while we were out of the country for 10 days. We have a very energetic, 80 pound golden doodle and senior cat. Nadia followed their routines to a T and sent the loveliest updates. It was clear they were happy, well exercised and given lots of love when we returned. Our new go to sitter!
Julia did a great job of looking after my active dog when I was away for the weekend. He received plenty of attention and walks and she sent photos to keep me up to date. I came home to a happy dog and everything in good order. It was great price of mind knowing he was well cared for while I was away.
Colleen went above and beyond for me while I was on my vacation. She she exceeded my expectations by far when it came to taking care of my animals. I have a 16 year-old Chihuahua who has stage three kidney failure and normally when I travel, she really struggles when I’m gone, but this time I got great videos of her running around and having the best time which really made my heart happy. She took very good care of my home and again exceeded my expectations by washing all my linen and keeping my house in tiptop shape. I will be using Colleen again as she did an amazing job and I would highly recommend her. Thank you again so much Colleen for the service you provided and made sure my trip was stress-free.Ellie also had a great time as I was receiving photos of her relaxing on Colleen‘s lap she took very good care of my kitty and my dog.
