“Natasha was great with Taco, responded fast, provided updates during the day and was very accommodating. I highly recommend Natasha and look forward to booking with her again :)”

“Shala had a great time with Kathleen! She played with another dog, rolled in the snow, stalked squirrels, ate treats, went for a long walk, and had a nap. What else can a dog wish for?”

About: As an animal lover, I have significant experience with cats and dogs. My father is a veterinarian, so I have also gained extensive experience working with pets with special needs/accommodations. I have also fostered both cats and dogs for multiple rescue agencies. I can’t wait to discuss how I can support you and your pet! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time and attention available for your pet. When your pet is in my care, they will be the #1 priority. I have a safe apartment and a cute, patient kitty to keep your fur baby company. I am also an avid walker, so I look forward to walking frequently with your dog. As well, I am comfortable with crating your pet, and following any other routines.
“Brigitte was so amazing with my little Toffee! She took him a little last minute as I couldn't get my regular sitter and just gave him the best day a little doggie could ask for with all the cuddles. Thank you so much!!”

“Lucas and Thyara are great sitters! They were very attentive and I got frequent updates. Oreo enjoyed their beautiful home and playing in their yard. I definitely recommend them!”

“Lydia est très attentionné avec mes chiens et est en communication avec moi tout au long de la journée lorsqu'il y a un besoin. Après seulement deux visites, mes deux chiens étaient content de retourner la voir pour une autre journée, donc ça en dit beaucoup sur l'accueil et le plaisir qu'ils ont chez Lydia.”

“Clayton was great with our pup, Mickey. Mick came back to us happy as ever and quite tired, sleeping all the way home. We’d be happy to have Clayton care for Mickey any time!”

“Clara & Anselmo were wonderful and Vespa had a great visit with them and their pets. We think he can't wait to go back and hangout with his new pals. We loved all the photo and video updates, thank you very much for taking care of our little guy.”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the compassionate, personalized care I provide—especially for senior dogs and cats with medical needs. I’m experienced in supporting aging pets with mobility issues, medication routines, and gentle, low-impact enrichment to keep them comfortable and engaged. I also understand the sensitivity required to care for sick cats, providing calm, attentive support and close monitoring for any changes in health. Alongside my enrichment-based approach—using games, puzzles, and play tailored to each pet—I maintain open communication with pet parents, offering regular updates and reassurance. I aim to be a calm, trusted presence in your pet’s life and a reliable source of peace of mind for you. As a stay-at-home pet sitter, having my dog Sully as part of my daily routine makes the experience even more enjoyable and natural. Sully keeps me on a regular schedule with morning walks, play sessions, and quiet downtime, which also benefits the visiting pets in my care. His friendly and calm demeanor helps new animals feel at ease, creating a welcoming environment in our home. Throughout the day, I’m able to balance caring for Sully with meeting the needs of other pets, making it a smooth and rewarding routine that feels more like a lifestyle than a job. In my home, I offer dedicated pet sitting services for both dogs and cats, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide a clean and cozy environment with plenty of space to relax and play. Dogs enjoy regular walks, outdoor playtime, and lots of affection, while cats have quiet spaces to explore, rest, and feel at ease in their own dedicated bedroom with a large window. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, fresh water, and any special care routines needed, treating every pet like a member of the family.
“Shernaaz and her husband took fantastic care of Pablo, and were so happy to've met him and taken care of him! Communication was a breeze, pick up and drop off were really smooth, and they were very accommodating. I look forward to booking them again in the future.”

“Grace is my dog’s new best friend! She is a great communicator, flexible on schedules and really truly loves dogs. My dog now freaks out when the carrier comes out as she knows she is going to see her friend Grace. Would highly recommend!”

“Sophie was so kind and took our dog on very short notice (we only asked the night before!). She went for extensive walks with our dog and into a dog park and gave her yummy treats - and for everything, she asked before whether lt would be okay. We are so glad we met Sophie and will be back soon with our dog!”

“So this was my first time sending my puppy to Doggy Day Care and Akanksha was Amazing! Thought the whole stay, she sent videos and updates. My puppy was having such a great time and I would definitely book her again!”

“Such a great experience! Ana Laura and her partner are so calm and lovely. Our little dog was so relaxed after her stay, we know she was well taken care of. They were always quick to respond, great communication. Highly recommend these sitter's and our dog will definitely be back ? thank you so much!!”
“Stephanie was great! She was very thorough ensuring she had all the information about Winston (and his quirks) and he seemed to have a great day! Very kind and quick to respond to messages. Thank you!”

About: I’m an experienced, caring and safety conscious dog minder and have lived with and taken care of dogs most of my life. I worked closely with my own dog’s breeder through her 3 litters - her last litter I was the solo midwife. Mia has graduated out of the breeding program and we now look forward to hosting pup friends through Rover. I’m a keen observer of dog behaviours and my family gets a lot of joy in providing a happy, safe and caring home environment for new friends. I work from home 100% so your dog will have lots of company, play time and several walks geared to their energy level. I’ve taken care of many older dogs and special needs pups and am happy to administer medications per your instructions. We live near trails and parks and have a small backyard that backs onto the woods - so lots of squirrels to watch and outing options to suit energy levels. Whether for a day or a few weeks we look forward to getting to know your little one and making them feel part of the family. I take pups out for morning, lunchtime and evening walks, all on leash. In between I sometimes work away at my desk with a little one on my lap or nearby on a dog ‘couch’. For short errands it’ll monitor my ring camera to make sure your pup is happy at home with my Labradoodle, Mia. Your dog will be part of the family. I’m careful to not let dogs off-leash unless we're within a fenced-in yard. Your dog will get at least 3 walks a day for 10-45 minutes, depending on their stamina. I monitor mealtimes to ensure peaceful eating. Please let me know how they are when left with a buddy for short periods.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, both in my family and through regularly caring for and walking them. I also volunteered at several animal shelters over the years, where I helped care for abandoned dogs — walking them, assisting with basic care, and supporting their rehabilitation. This experience taught me how to adapt to dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those who need extra patience and reassurance. I pay close attention to their behavior to respect their pace, energy level, and individual needs. To me, dogs are family members, and I always strive to provide a safe, stable, and caring environment while carefully following each owner’s instructions. J’ai toujours grandi entourée de chiens, que ce soit dans ma famille ou à travers des gardes et promenades régulières. J’ai également effectué plusieurs années de volontariat en refuge, où je m’occupais de chiens abandonnés : promenades, soins de base et accompagnement vers leur réadaptation. Cette expérience m’a appris à m’adapter à des chiens de tailles et de tempéraments très variés, y compris ceux ayant besoin de patience et de douceur. Je suis attentive à leur comportement afin de respecter leur rythme, leur énergie et leurs besoins spécifiques. Pour moi, un chien est un membre de la famille, et je veille toujours à offrir un environnement sécurisant, stable et bienveillant, en respectant attentivement les consignes des propriétaires. I work 100% remotely, which allows me to be home full-time and give plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week and on weekends. Pets are never left alone for long periods and benefit from consistent supervision, regular walks, and attention tailored to their needs. Je travaille à 100 % en télétravail, ce qui me permet d’être présente toute la journée et d’accorder beaucoup d’attention aux animaux dont je m’occupe. Je suis flexible et disponible, que ce soit en semaine ou le week-end. Les animaux ne sont donc jamais laissés seuls pendant de longues périodes et bénéficient d’une présence constante, de promenades régulières et de moments d’attention adaptés à leurs besoins. I live in a quiet and bright one-bedroom apartment with a secure balcony. I do not have any pets or children, which ensures a calm and stress-free environment where your pet can feel safe and at home. I always maintain a clean, organized, and secure living space. J’habite dans un appartement 3½ calme et lumineux, avec un balcon sécurisé. Je n’ai ni animaux ni enfants, ce qui garantit un environnement paisible et sans stress, idéal pour que votre compagnon se sente en sécurité et comme à la maison. Je veille toujours à maintenir un espace propre, organisé et sécuritaire.

Sarah was wonderful with my senior dog Boots. She was so patient, kind and gentle, which put not only Boots but me at ease as well. You can immediately sense her love for animals, and provided Boots with creature comforts while she was there for the day. I would recommend Sarah with absolutely no hesitation.
