“Raylene did a wonderful job of house sitting and taking care of my cat while I was away. My cat is very sensitive emotionally, but Raylene's kindness and care meant that he warmed up to her and started following her around, asking for strokes and TLC. Raylene was also extremely conscientious about not letting my cat out and following the very detailed instructions I had left for her. She has five kitties of her own - all rescues - that she is bringing up with loving care. Raylene is totally responsible and reliable, and she was a loving companion to my kitty while I was gone. I'll be hiring her again when I'm next out of town! Kathryn”
“Nicole is amazing ! She took such great care of our very energetic German shepherd. We really appreciated the updates and photos she sent us while we were away. She even cleaned our house for us !! Truly the best house/pet sitter we could have asked for.”
“Anna was great!!! Always wonderful to come home to dogs that are excited to see you, but also settled and happy, and not bouncing off the walls. They had a great comfortable weekend hanging with their new friend 💕”
“Robyn is amazing with our dogs! Not only does she provide great care, exercise and play for our dogs, she also spends time training our puppy on the commands he's still learning. We are so happy we found her 😀”
“This lovely girl was an angel to my separation anxiety troubled little baby dog. She slept on the couch with her as she wouldn't go into bed and she hand fed my pup when she would not eat. Taylor kept me informed about my little baby and offered solutions that worked everytime! She is a 5 star sitter and I highly recommend her services!”
“Alexis did a fantastic job caring for my very high energy little puppy for 2 days while I was away for a family emergency. She frequently provided updates and kept him safe, happy and healthy.”
“Danielle was amazing with our older special needs dog. She is caring, adaptable and a great communicator. I would highly recommend Danielle.”
“Nova stayed at our house with our 4 year old lab for 8 nights. She communicated daily, sent lots of pictures, and most importantly, took great care of Lizzy and our home. I could tell by Lizzy’s demeanor that she had a great time while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Nova again.”
“We used Paige for a weekend just recently. She watched our dog at our house. Our dog has a medical condition requiring daily meds, which Paige easily dealt with. The house was in great shape when we returned, and our dog was his normal happy self. Much better than our past couple of kennel visits! We will definitely use Paige's services again in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments over the past 3 years, including high-energy breeds and senior dogs. I'm experienced in administering medications, reinforcing training, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved while their owners are away. Friends and neighbors often rely on me for walks, playtime, and overnight stays. I always tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and routines, and I treat every animal like family. Pet care is naturally built into my daily life—I start and end each day with feeding, cleaning, and spending quality time with my two cats. I’m used to organizing my schedule around the needs of animals, whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings. I’m flexible on weekends and evenings and can easily accommodate pet-sitting or drop-in visits into my weekly routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. I follow the routines provided by pet parents as closely as possible and always take time to understand each animal’s personality and boundaries. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I’m trained to notice signs of distress or health concerns early. I ensure that all spaces are secure, clean, and enriched—whether it’s quiet rest areas for cats or safe walking routes for dogs. I treat every home and every pet with the same level of care I give my own.
“Aaqilah provided in house sitting for my two wiener dogs, and she was outstanding. She provided updates and photos several times a day which I really appreciated. She was attentive to their regular routines to ensure they were comfortable with mom and dad away. She left the house in immaculate condition for when we returned. Five stars all around! I would definitely use Aaqilah again.”
“Kiah did a great job taking care of our senior dog! She communicated with us well and sent us a picture daily that we could enjoy. It was great to be able to travel without worry. We will definitely look to use Kiah again.”
About: Ever since I was younger, I would always volunteer to walk or dog sit for neighbour's, family and friendly while they were away. This often entailed going on 3 walks a day, feeding and playing. I will always make sure to follow instructions to the miniscule detail. I currently work full time remotely from home. I am easily able to step away from work for any pets that may need immediate attention or if the owner happens to need a sitter with short notice. I am often available for weekends as well. I love to shower my own pets with pats, affection and toys. When I need to be firm I make sure to be stern but never disrespectful. I make sure to continue to be loving even after verbally correcting any misbehavior.
“Shannon took wonderful care of my dog Selva! She kept me updated with photos throughout their day together. Thank you, Shannon.”
About: I've grown up with a wide range of pets, from dogs and cats, rabbits and lizards, fish and rodents, and even horses. Every pet is a member of the family and deserve the care a family member should have. I will treat your pets just like my own, with all pet types being welcome. As I am studying online for a career change, my schedule is open at the moment. Weekdays I am available for everything, and most weekends I should be available as well. If something comes up, it will be shown on my schedule. When it comes to pet care, the owner's directions are important. If there is anything specific you or your pet need, just let me know. The pet being happy and having any needs met matter most.
“Katherine babysat our 2 terriers over a long weekend. We were worried leaving our one pup (Dexter) who is a senior with medical needs. Katherine was very patient and attentive as I went through 3 pages of instructions with her (yes, I am a crazy dog mom) and followed everything perfectly. It is obvious that she loves dogs and truly cared for our pups' well-being while we were away. We also liked that we got regular updates and could see that Vinny and Dexter were having a fun time! We wouldn't hesitate to book Katherine again!”
About: I have a dog that my family and I have been looking after for eight years, we also had some other pets in the past like turtles and geckos. I have also looked after cats for friends. I am available for and dog walking and drop-ins for your pet. I also can take care of your pet in your home all day on weekends and I can do drop in's on weekdays mostly the afternoons and evenings. I will care for your dog by making sure they have everything they need and I'll monitor them when I let them outside in a fenced backyard. I'll make sure they don't leave messes in your house on rainy days or when they make messes. I won't leave them unattended while outside.
“Sam did a great job house sitting and watching my cat for almost 3 weeks while I was away. She even saved a mouse that my cat caught and took it outside. So happy she was there! Our cat was happy and looked great when we got home.”
About: I have childhood experience with German shorthaired pointers and cats. I started dog-sitting 15 years ago and have worked with many different breeds (bernise mountain dog, chihuahua, standard poodle, lab collie mix, Australian shepherds/poodle, shih tzu). l am eager for any opportunity to hang out with cool dogs and cats. I work full time but am looking to help others with pet care before 9, after 4 pm or overnight later in the week. I could also fit in some lunch time walks Monday through Saturday. I will follow all instructions provided and use the language/commands your pet is familiar with to ensure your pet is well cared for. I am great with all animals and have a non-threatening presence.
“Nicole was amazing with my pets, reached out with frequent updates and pictures and I didn’t need to worry about a thing while we were away! I would recommend Nicole to anyone looking to book a stay-in house sitter!”

This is the second year Charlotte has stayed with our dog. We are thankful to be able to enjoy our vacation without having to worry as we know our sweet pup is in capable hands.
Lydia was great again as always. Our dogs love spending time with her and I feel that they are in safe hands always which is super important for us. Highly recommended for dog walking and house sitting!
Tricia was so lovely, our dogs felt comfortable right away during their meet and greet. We had no worries while being away and we could see when we returned they were in excellent hands. Tricia is definitely someone I would recommend.
Jordie did a great job watching our pets (2 dogs, 2 cats). This is the first time we had left our pets for as long as we did, and Jordie made it so stress free for my husband and I. She was extremely communicative, giving us updates on our pets all the time. She took great care of them, even our one dog who is recovering from a surgery and can be a bit reactive. Jordie was completely unphased by this and happy to work with us to help support our dog better. I would definitely book Jordie again and would recommend her to others!
Danielle was amazing with our older special needs dog. She is caring, adaptable and a great communicator. I would highly recommend Danielle.
Wow!! I am not sure my vocabulary can adequately convey how positively I feel about Aaquilah and the care she provided for my boys while I was away! She provided me fantastic advice regarding diet and care, that I am so grateful for! Furthermore, she never made me feel like they were “too much” and my Pablo is a very strong, high energy pup! Her communication about their day to day lives was impeccable and she even helped me handle a bit of a family emergency which occurred while I was gone! I typically have high anxiety going away on a trip, but I have never felt more secure. If you’re looking for a sign: this is it! Book Aaquilah, you will NOT be disappointed! She has certainly made a repeat client out of me, her genuine care for animals is a beautiful— even my family and friends who met her throughout her stay commented on it right away, and how lovely of a person she is!
Sara looked after our pets and home for two weeks and she did a great job looking after everyone. We have a senior pup and she promptly us know about any concerns. The house was spotless and well cared for in our absence.
Zoe was great! Very punctual, sent updates about our babies and was totally confident caring for our 15 year old dog who requires many meds and extra attention. We had no worries while we were away!
Kelly has now taken care of Ruby many times for us. She is very trustworthy, sends pictures all the time, and is great with communication leading up to and during her visits. You can tell that Ruby is very comfortable with her, and we feel completely as ease leaving Ruby.
Nicole was a wonderful pet sitter who we highly recommend. She took amazing care of our two dogs and 1 cat. The house was in perfect condition and she was very accommodating.
Lucia was so responsive from the first time I messaged her. She came to visit Ruby ahead of house sitting for us and was on-time and a great communicator. She took great care of Ruby while we were away and provided lots of updates. We came home to the house cleaner than when we left - even some laundry done!
Katherine was great! Our dog was well exercised and happy when we returned home. Highly recommend Katherine and would definitely book her again.
Sam did a great job house sitting and watching my cat for almost 3 weeks while I was away. She even saved a mouse that my cat caught and took it outside. So happy she was there! Our cat was happy and looked great when we got home.
Paige stayed with our anxious boy while we were away for 7 days. We’ve never left him with someone else that long before, but she did a great job at making sure his stressful week went much smoother. We can’t thank her enough for her care and making it much less stressful on our end as well, knowing that he was in good hands. Would highly recommend Paige!
Taisiya was fantastic! She watched 3 of our dogs for a week, 2 small dogs and a very big dog. She walked them everyday and took them to an off leash park near our house. We received pictures multiple times per day and our dogs always looked so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I'd highly recommend her for any dog services :)
Wonderful pet sitter… Kristina kept me updated while I was on vacation for a week and I was able to relax knowing my puppy and cat were in very good care. I would trust Kristina any time with my fur babies. She is 100 percent reliable.
Sarah was wonderful with our dog ( and our guinea pig). She took time to ask questions to get to know our dog's routine and to ensure our pup was safe and comfortable while we were away. Sarah was a wonderful house guest, leaving our home clean and tidy. We really appreciated the updates she sent us and it was so nice knowing our pets were being so well taken care of. Would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone looking for pet care!
Mary was incredible. The animals seemed so happy while I was away and very high spirits when I got home. The daily updates were awesome to see and quick with communication. She left the house incredibly clean, went above and beyond to make sure it was spotless to come home too. Couldn’t be happier with someone to trust watching my pets again!
Morgan was so wonderful with our dog Ruby. Morgan came for a visit prior to the week she stayed at our home and Ruby was so good with her instantly. We felt so much comfort leaving her with Morgan. She was so respectful of our home, leaving it so clean for us on our return. We will 100% book Morgan again to look after Ruby!
