“Shelley was amazing taking care of our cat Kiki for over 3 weeks. She sent me regular updates and was checking in with photos which made us feel a lot better as it was the first time leaving our kitty with anyone. Highly recommend Shelley.”
“We had Rusty stay with Wendy and Ian for 12 days. I can't say enough great things about them. Best word ever "Awesome " They walked Rusty everyday, sent pictures, made cute comments. They never for one minute made us feel uncomfortable leaving him with them. He was happy to see us but I'm sure disappointed in leaving them. I highly recommend them to anyone. Rest assured you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Wendy and Ian for all that you did. Until next time.😄🐶”
“Stephanie and Brandon were amazing with our pup! They sent great updates and we felt comfortable with seeing our guy seemed comfy throughout the time. They were great listeners when we first arrived and gave them instructions about his requirements. Will definitely be using them for our upcoming trip in March!”
“Our overgrown pup was clearly more than well taken care of and even loved through all her quirks. I was able to be completely at ease while out of the country knowing our girl was being treated like family. I hope Taika gets to visit her new friends again next time :)”
“Suzie is very comfortable with Melissa and enjoys going there. Melissa takes Suzie for a couple of walks daily. We have total confidence in Melissa looking after Suzie. I would highly recommend using Melissa.”
“I would recommend Arghavan for the service she offers. My dog seemed really comfortable in her supervision. The pick up and drop off to your place is a bonus. She provides an update on your dog's daily activities. She took our dog for a long walk, picnic and even out for shopping with her. I love that she kept my dog active. Extra bonus that she also has a small dog that got along so well with my dog. Superb service, I am glad I found someone that I could trust to leave my dog when I have to be away for the weekend.”
“Thank you so much Francisco for taking such amazing care of Harry! We really appreciated how thoughtful you were in prepping for his visit and the updates. We were so relieved that Harry seemed to take right away to Francisco and he came home relaxed and not anxious like he has been coming home from a boarding place. Thank you so much Francisco for taking such wonderful care of Harry!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Deepti & Sachin made everything so smooth and comforting—for both me and Gold! From the start, their communication was excellent. I received regular photos, videos, live updates, and they even allowed a video call with Gold, which really touched my heart. Gold was showered with love and cuddles in a warm, home-like environment. He ate well, was kept clean, and came back so happy and relaxed—it was clear he was truly cared for. They even accommodated a last-minute extension, which I deeply appreciated. Thank you, Deepti & Sachin, for treating Gold like family. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, responsible pet sitters. Don’t hesitate to reach out—they’re amazing!”
“My Beagle has boarded with Jessie on many occasions. She loves to come to her house and gets on well with her pets. Jessie takes good care of Molly and send me pictures of her playing, sleeping, going for walks. I feel ressured that my dog will be happy when I am away. Thanks Jessie ! We will return for sure !”
“Kathryn and her girls took such great care of Diesel and I can’t thank them enough! Their dog Poppy was such a great friend for him too. From the moment the front door opened, Diesel walked right in with ease and felt at home. There was a great back yard to explore and parks and trails close by to venture out to. I appreciated the updates and photos Kathryn sent during his stay. It was obvious Diesel was well looked after, loved and spoiled with multiple walks and cuddles while I was away. Diesel had a great visit and loved every second of it! No doubt, he will miss the family, but I will definitely be booking back again the next time I need care for Diesel. Thank you SO much for providing such a loving and nurturing home away from home!”
About: Hey there! In the past few years I have worked in vet clinics as well as pet boarding facilities which has taught me the skills to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy! I have experience training young dogs for shows, and I absolutely love working one on one with them! I am also currently training a puppy for service work. Personally, I have had both young and senior dogs and cats. I am currently working part-time, so I’ll have lots of time to take care of your pets! My schedule changes weekly, but if you get in touch with me I’d be happy to share my availability for the next couple weeks. I’d be more than happy to drop in and give your pets the attention they need! I’m energetic and love to play fetch or practice tricks with your dog.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, starting at 12 with Joya, a super energetic boxer — big, lively, and lots of fun to handle. Later, I also cared for WALLY, a senior medium-sized dog, and we had a blast together. My experience with different breeds and ages means I know how to handle everything from playful pups to calm seniors. I genuinely love working with pets and make sure they feel loved and cared for. I work part time so in the afternoons I have plenty of time to be taking care of dogs, and weekends, also because i really love pets We live in a one bed apartament, with a large living room, also we have a balcony, and so many parcs nearby in order to take the dogs out, we dont have a pet now so any dog will be more than welcome to spend their time with us
“Lindsay, Greg, and their two lovely boys took such great care of my dog Charlie. She was clearly very loved by everyone in the family. I couldn’t recommend them enough! Such lovely, kind, and caring people. I knew Charlie was in great hands for the weekend!”
About: Recent grad from the Animal Biology program at the university of Guelph. Currently training a service dog for K9Lifelines. Due to this I maintain a structured environment with pets I take care of, we typically spend our time going on adventures, training and also prioritizing settling and practicing the art of doing nothing. I have two cats which I love so much. I’m super passionate about feline behaviour and pet nutrition. Some of you may know me from the grooming business I founded, Pampered Paws Pet Grooming. At Pampered Paws we strive to provide a stress-free experience for dogs, cats, and small animals. I additionally worked at the OVC in the surgery department and have plenty of vet experience. As a recent graduate, I am very flexible. I am self employed - running my pet grooming business out of my home. Therefore I am able to provide pet care all day long and have flexible availability. I appreciate you considering trusting me with your animal. I understand how difficult it is to find pet services you can whole-heartedly trust, but I would love to be that person for your family, in whichever ways you see fit.
“Our Coal had such a great vacation with Scott & Allison. We were so happy with the frequent updates, photos & videos of his stay. He came home so tired & happy after his adventures playing with the other dogs, running through the trails & enjoying the doggie pool. We will not hesitate to send him back for another stay, they were great hosts!”
“Sara and her husband were wonderful and took excellent care of Dexter. Will definitely be in touch next time we go away. Highly recommend as it's hard leaving our fur baby with ppl but they certainly eased my mind”

Jess W.Star Sitter
“Jess was an absolute God send! This was my husband and my first time going away and leaving our one year old dog behind, I had a very difficult time coming to terms with leaving our dog with someone in our home. Jess accommodated our every need and request, had patience for our very shy and anxious boy, and by the end of the 4 days he had completely warmed up to her and I’d happily leave him with her again. She is trustworthy, everything was left back in its proper place and Maverick was very well taken care of. Very thankful for her, and will certainly be using her again for future trips!”

Stephanie and Brandon are amazing! Roscoe had a great time during his visit. He stayed with them for a whole week and I was confident he was receiving great care the whole time. Stephanie updated me daily, asked questions when needed, and sent lots of adorable photos. She responds to messages promptly, which I really appreciate. They are definitely dog lovers, and I would be happy for Roscoe to stay with them again. You can't go wrong with these Stephanie and Brandon!
Shannon did a fantastic job watching my fur baby for a long weekend. She was so kind, flexible when it came to meet and greet and very good at easing my nerves and communicating the entire time. I could tell she was in good hands ! Thank you Shannon! Will absolutely book with her again !!!
Aleena is a wonderful Dogsitter. She was a regular Dogsitter for me before she travelled, and my dog loves her. I was absolutely thrilled to learn she was home- and she generously agreed to watch my dog for a long weekend at the last minute. She took my dog on several adventures (which she has always done and is why my dog loves her!), including a long walk and park time with friends which is perfect for my dog who lives for attention. My dog was tired when I picked her up- which was perfect for me to do laundry and get ready for the week. Aleena is wonderful- I recommend her highly and hope she’ll be available the next time I have a vacation so I can relax knowing my dog is having her own (including adventures!) with Aleena!
Rachel was amazing with our pup Hershey - We knew Hershey was in good hands the whole weekend and we were able to genuinely have a stress free weekend. She gave us updates consistently which made us even more happy to be able to see how comfortable and relaxed Hershey was with her. Honestly, I think Hershey was more upset to be leaving Rachel’s house than she was to be leaving us when we dropped her off! I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!
