“Outstanding! Dominique is an excellent communicator and did an amazing job with our kitties. The updates provided after visits were most reassuring, the pictures and feedback beyond expectations. She was more than happy to follow any and all directions for our kittie’s care. I did not hesitate to book Dominique again for a future pet sitting need.”


About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m passionate about everything dog related ; their behaviour, how they think and act, playing with them, walking them. I own a Border Collie, Gypsie and a Syberian Husky, Mango. I’ve been a dog sledding guide for the past 6 years. I’ve got two dogs of my own, hence why I’m the perfect fit to take great care of your furry friend and all of its needs! Experienced with all kinds of dogs, seniors, special need, high energy, couch potatoes. I can also work with other animals if needed ! I am also an avid wildlife photographer and can do animal portraits and action shots if desired, at a very fair price! Hope to see you soon! I will gladly take care of pets at mine or your residence! I have a very big yard so plenty of room for your furry friend to exercise and play!

“Thalia was great. I had never gotten a stranger to take care of my pups before and I felt comfortable with trusting her. I was happy she took the time to come by beforehand and meet the pups. I loved getting photos from their walks. I know the dogs were happy to make a new friend who fed and walked them!”


About: I am a resident physician from Toronto. I love animals and I have raised two dogs- one standard poodle and one toy poodle. I have cared for animals for colleagues and acquaintances over the years. My experience includes bathing, feeding, play time, teeth brushing and taking to vet. As well I have handled more than one pup at the same time at local parks and on walks. I am very comfortable with pets. I know that some pets can be from an unfortunate background and I am not afraid or unfair if the dogs behaviour reflects poor nurturing. I follow pet owners’ requests and instructions and stay consistent with what their dog parents have decided in terms of rules. I genuinely enjoy having animals around. How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? I am working as a medical consultant from home. I live right by Stanley park on English Bay! I can take your pup for gorgeous walks in the fresh air along the shore on or off leash in the dog park if that is suitable for your pet. How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client's home? This will vary depending on which service you offer. I am very warm and friendly to animals. In terms of caring for your pet, I would follow the instructions for care that you are following to ensure consistency and safety for your pet.

“Ellen was amazing with our (usually very socially anxious) kitty, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was super communicative, very attentive of his needs, and is the first cat sitter we’ve had who’s actually managed to pet him. He’s often very scared of strangers, but she put the time and effort in to get to know him and he warmed up to her instantly.”

About: I grew up on a ranch and have been around animals my whole life. I absolutely adore all animals, but especially dogs and cats, and love to get in my cuddles and animal lovin’ in whenever I can! I have experience with all different types of animals, and will love, care and respect all pets as if they were my very own. I love all breeds of dogs, I do not discriminate against any particular breed, I just ask that if there is anything I should know about your pet, to know ahead of time so there are no surprises. I have 2 cats and a King German Shepherd puppy of my own :) Sirah, Tikka and Thor! I am a full time server, so my schedule does vary day to day- however I do know it about 2 weeks in advance and am able to work around it fairly easily. I have a huge fenced yard, which is great for playing and zoomies. In your home, I will accommodate to what you have to offer and what your fur baby is used to.

Jordan B.
“Jordan is the most compassionate, caring and loving human being I have ever had the pleasure of shaking hands with. Growing up with animals her whole life, she developed a deep bond towards animals which made her become a pet owner herself when she moved away from home. You will never meet a person that provides the most unwavering love for a cat or any animal for that matter. Jordan would easily be the first individual I go to for pet or baby sitting.”
