“Chelsey did a great job looking after Stevie! She does more than just the bare minimum and gives Stevie extra attention and care. It is also easy communicating with Chelsey and setting up meetings. I would totally recommend Chesley to anyone and would happily hire again.”

“Shelley has been coming to care for Charlie for about 2-3 years and we couldn’t be happier. We are so lucky to have her. She treats our little guy so well and she is super reliable. Always our first choice. Thank you Shelley!”

“Our cat is social but shy and doesn’t always take to strangers but she’s warmed up quite nicely to Kristen! Highly recommend her as your sitter if you’re looking for someone kind and reliable!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life. Over the last 2 years I have been house/dog sitting , boarding and walking dogs for family and friends. I've enjoyed it so much that I decided to expand my group ☺️ 2 daily walks 30+ minutes each, special dietary requirements, baths as necessary or once weekly, dog park visits when allowed I currently work from home and have the flexibility of morning/evening walks as well as throughout the day pee/poo breaks and belly rubs! Weekends are play time for all, dog park!!!! I have a fenced in grass yard with tie out. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Each pup has different needs, I take detailed notes about what is required for your dog to be comfortable and happy during our time together.
About: I have years of experience with animal care, having pet-sat for many families and pet owners over the last 10 years, as well as in more established settings such as vet clinics and animal rescues. I also grew up and have lived alongside animals for most of my life. I have experience with animals ranging from house pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, etc.) to farm animals (pigs, donkeys, sheep, etc.) and am confident in my ability to care for and love your companions. I grew up with rescue animals and understand they can sometimes have their quirks and need a little extra patience. The animals in my family have included seniors, a diabetic cat, and rescues who were very fearful and took time to feel safe. I’m comfortable caring for animals who may be anxious, reactive, or not easily handled, and I always prioritize making them feel safe and loved. Some of my specific skills and experiences include: - Experience with grooming and nail trimming for house pets (and often asked by owners to help with this for their own animals) - Caring for injured animals or those with special needs (with guidance from owners or vets) - Experience administering basic medications, including pills, injections, and oral syringes - Comfortable following detailed care instructions and medication schedules - Experience working at wildlife and animal sanctuaries - Volunteer experience at a veterinary clinic - Confident and calm when handling animals - Strong understanding of animal body language and behaviour The rates on my profile are just suggestions. I don't often have a set rate as I prefer to find something that works for both of us, so please still reach out and we can chat about it! I work numerous casual jobs and so I have a very flexible schedule which I can work around and adjust based on my pet-sitting schedule. I believe I offer a very safe and comforting environment for the pets I sit, whether at their home or mine. I've been told I give off a very caring energy that makes people and animals feel safe and like they con trust me. As an anxious person myself, I really care about your pet feeling safe, comfy, and at ease.
“Once again, Mia looked very relaxed and stress free when I got home. Lisa is very professional and experienced. Mia isn't the easiest cat to give a pill to, but Lisa handled it well. :-)”
About: I have had experience taking care of dogs for the last 15 years. My best friends had four legs and I saw them well into their senior years. I have adopted my own Rio and he has filled my heart with so much love. Animals really are angels 💕 I work remotely at my own pace so I have time throughout the day to enjoy the beautiful nature and what better way than to have some great company join too! In my clients home I respect the home I am in and only keep to the places that I need to be. I always leave the home clean and tidy. I give your pets the space they need in order to get comfortable with me. After all it is their home and I’m the guest.
“Erin and Chad were great! I had a last minute request and they were able to fulfill that. They gave lots of belly rubs and pictures of both animals. I would definitely use them again. Thanks!”

“Melissa is awesome with my young pup of 8 weeks. She spent tons of time with her and took great care of her while I was at work. Re-booked her for a few weeks! Thank you Melissa!!”

Melissa was a great cat sitting for our 13 year kitty "Luna". Her communication was prompt and consistent during booking and our time away. Her reports on each visit were detailed and showed how patient she was being despite having having a stressed cat that required daily medication and creative bribery :) Highly recommend.
