“Bruna is amazing! I couldn't ask for anything more. From the very beginning, when I was scheduling Duna’s stay, Bruna made me feel comfortable by addressing my concerns about leaving my dog with someone else for the first time. She assured me that Duna would be in good hands, and indeed she was! I received updates about Duna’s walks, potty breaks, playtime, and sleep, along with pictures—Duna always looked happy, by the way. I will definitely book Duna’s future stays with Bruna; she truly went above and beyond!”
“My Buster always has a blast at Melody and Scott’s. He loooves them and they spoil him with long walks, many cuddles, and outings (my guy likes being included). I will for sure book again!”
“Clara and Elmo are truly incredible - Jack stayed with them for the weekend and it’s so clear from the many pictures shared that he had an absolute blast. They are both so lovely and patient with him ☺️ I feel very grateful to have found them and definitely plan to have them care for Jack again in the future!”
“Winnie is awesome , she kept sending us pictures of my dog and giving us daily feedback and my puppy loved being there , I think he still wants to go back lol , we will definitely be calling Winnie again , my puppy had a great time and was very cared for 😊”
“Akanksha and her husband were wonderful care providers for our Yorkie, Mika. They sent us daily updates and reached out promptly with any questions. It’s clear that she and her husband have a love of animals and are committed to providing excellent care. I highly recommend!”
“My dog Billy stayed with Lucas and Thyara for 5 days in their beautiful home. Lucas and Thyara are very friendly. They were very welcoming to Billy. They are very caring couple, they wanted to know all about him. They sent me pictures every day, I liked that. I can tell he enjoyed his stay. I would give them my highest recommendation. Thank you Luke and Thyara !”
“Avro came home very tired which indicates that she had lots of excercise and enrichment with Kelly. Meet & greet, booking, and drop-off/pick-up with Kelly were all super easy! We got some wonderful photos of their adventures during the stay. We would definitely leave Avro in Kelly's care again in the future!”
About: Passionnée par les animaux depuis toujours, j’ai eu l’occasion de garder régulièrement les chiens de mes proches, ce qui m’a permis de développer une vraie sensibilité à leurs besoins et à leur bien-être. Ce qui me distingue ? Ma disponibilité totale et mon attention constante. Chez moi, votre chien n’est jamais laissé seul dans un coin — il est intégré à mon quotidien, chouchouté et surveillé en permanence. Mon appartement calme est idéal pour les chiens qui ont besoin de sérénité. J’accueille tous les gabarits et tous les tempéraments avec la même bienveillance. Chaque chien est unique, et je prends le temps d’apprendre à le connaître pour lui offrir une garde sur mesure. Les propriétaires peuvent partir l’esprit tranquille — je tiens à donner des nouvelles régulières avec photos et messages. Mon copain et moi sommes tous les deux en télétravail, donc on a une belle flexibilité dans nos journées ! Ça nous permet de vraiment prendre soin du chien qu’on garde — des marches quotidiennes, des moments de jeu et plein d’attention tout au long de la journée. Garder un chien fait partie de notre routine et on adore ça, c’est jamais une contrainte pour nous. Chez nous, c’est un appartement calme et douillet où votre chien est supervisé en tout temps. Comme on est deux à la maison, il y a toujours un œil sur lui ! On s’adapte à ses habitudes — que ce soit pour les sorties, les repas ou les moments de repos. Notre objectif, c’est qu’il se sente comme chez lui dès la première heure.
“Liuliu enjoyed her stay at Rosie’s again! Rosie communicated well about updates for Liuliu’s playing and sleep overnight, and showed a lot of patience when Liuliu was over excited at first. Looking forward to another booking with Rosie.”
“Jay and Tyler are amazing. They took very good care of Levi and his needs. They sent me pictures and messages daily. Levi also had great company with their dog Knute…I would highly recommend them. Thank you Jay and Tyler!!!”
“Ryan was a wonderful dog sitter for our doodle on so many levels. First off he is highly communicative. He would initiate regular updates about our dog and share a feed of photos. Oscar was in safe and active company and constantly playing, at the park or on walks with the pack. This showed us that he gives the furry friends a lot of affection and attention. Finally our dog came home clean, and stayed in a very tidy environment which was also reassuring. Thank you Ryan for all that you do!”
“Julia was great with our two dogs! One loves to play while the other one is a bit nervous of larger dogs and she ensured that they both had a great time! Both dogs came back happy and healthy and we would definitely use Julia again.”
“Cathy did a great job keeping me updated during my entire 3 week trip. My dog is sensitive and shy so it takes her a while to adjust to new people and environments. Cathy was patient and understanding, and my dog became very comfortable with her. Thank you Cathy!”
“Josée was an amazing dog sitter. Our dog Juny instantly fell in love with her. She took care of her needs, above and beyond. The guilt instantly disappeared, she was in dog paradise while we were on vacation. Thanks again! ❤️💜🩵”

I am so grateful to have found Kathleen to look after my Jack. He would normally go to a friend’s house but since moving to a new city, that option is limited. When picking him up, he was happy to see me but calm, relaxed and not at all anxious to leave lol. He seemed very much at home. Kathleen sent updates and pictures throughout the day so I could see how well he was doing. Thanks so much Kathleen
C'était la 2e fois que nous faisions garder nos 2 chiens par eux, et encore une fois tout s'est super bien passé. Nos chiens étaient très contents de les revoir, ce qui nous a tout de suite rassurés. Ils ont vraiment bien pris soin d'eux et nous avons eu l'esprit tranquille pendant notre absence.
Cassandra is a gem! I felt listened to when communicating the dogs needs, she was interested in learning about their routine, likes and dislikes. She also put all winning combinations forward by meeting the dogs first and allowing them to visit her home before our holidays. You can see she is a true dog lover. Cassandra provided daily updates with pictures, which was very reassuring! Thank you Cassandra!
Andrea is absolutely awesome! She is so sweet at heart and genuinely loves dogs, attentively caring for their needs. Truely feel blessed to have found her and trust her for 3 straight weeks with my 7-mo old Cocker Spaniel named Cookie (Monster). Indeed he can be rowdy and anxious but Andrea's experience and demeanor ensured he was well handled and cared for despite his behavior. Sometimes you just get a feeling about people; within seconds of meeting Andrea, I knew she would be his dog-sitter, and felt so much relief while I was able to take a rare vacation. Naturally, we communicated lots during Cookie's stay at her place. She sent pics, updates and even tips on how to train him better. I witnessed firsthand just how her vibe and energy is able to tame the wild beast within Cookie, better than I can, despite having had a Springer Spaniel for 12 years before. Can't recommend her enough if you're ever looking for a great dog sitter that is trustworthy, caring and loving.
Nathalie was the most accommodating and wonderful dog sitter for Charlotte. Charlotte is not straight forward to introduce to other dogs and Nathalie was willing to try anyways and it worked out so well! I’m so glad Charlotte got to hang out with some other dogs over the holidays and plenty of walks and cuddles. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Audrée took excellent care of Boris while we were away. She treated him as part of her family. I got lots of pics of him sprawled on their bed and with their dog. Also, she’s bilingual! She really helped us when our old Dogsitter canceled 2 days before our trip, and then again when our return flight was cancelled and she took care of Boris for an extra night at the end. We would def recommend Audrée!
Leah looked after our Bernese puppy many times during our stay in Canada, and he absolutely loved his time with her. He was so excited to see her every time, and she was so relaxed and put our kind at ease about everything. She is very professional and communicative, and genuinely lovely person. Thanks again Leah!
