“Claire was great looking after Leo in our home. She’s trustworthy, caring and honest. She kept me updated and even assisted us with a last minute favour. The house was spotless and we came home to a very happy boy.”
“Christina was great! She took good care of my senior pet, and kept our house in good order while we were aware. She was good with communications, letting me know when she arrived and keeping me updated on my dog. She was also fairly flexible, which was nice as we were travelling in some winter weather.”
“Robyn really came through for us in a last minute request and was very invested in getting to know our dog and how she could care for her best. We felt incredibly comfortable leaving her in Robyn’s care. She gave us many updates with pictures while we were away and our dog was so happy upon our return and clearly enjoyed her time with Robyn! She genuinely cared for our dog and we would recommend her to anyone!”
“Danielle was just superb with looking after Harry he really must have enjoyed her company as he didn’t complain (as he usually does) when we come home from travels. The house was kept wonderfully and she did more than I had expected which we really appreciated. I will not hesitate to ask her to look after Harry again I hope she will have time for us the next trip we make!!! She really is a terrific person.”
“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”
“Kristen took great care of Farley and was very communicative from the start! She was very easy to get along with and followed our instructions for his care - included administering medication! We would be happy to recommend her to anyone! Thanks Kristen!”
“Allison was wonderful while staying at our house and watching our dog for the week. I felt really comfortable leaving our dog with her, and she sent frequent updates, which I really appreciated. She was reliable, trustworthy, and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Melissa did an excellent job looking after my dog and house. The house was left clean and my dog was very happy with all the walks she got. Melissa sent me lots of messages and pictures so I had great peice of mind while anyway.”
“We rebooked with Paige and she was phenomenal again! She took excellent care of our dog and shared plenty of updates while we were away. It was such a relief to know that our guy was in loving hands while we were away. Plus our house was EXACTLY as we had left it. She was very tidy and respectful of our space! We will certainly be rebooking with Paige a third time! Thank you for taking such great care of our boy :)”
About: I train dogs using positive reinforcement seniors and puppies. I also do off leash training and reactive dog trainings for individuals that need it :) I currently am a graduated student from Canadore College from the Dental Hygiene program! Currently very free and have been taking my dog on regular walks and ensuring he has the proper mental stimulation daily! For in home care I will send updates regularly to the owners I am always also checking my device so I will answer ASAP. I ensure all requests are being made and ensuring to meet your fur babies standards
“Jess took great care of Molly, our cat and our 2 Golden Retrievers, Picasso & Lacey, as well as our house while we were away. She is obviously a real animal lover and I would highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“Patricia was fantastic house sitting for us while we were on vacation. She was always quick to respond and happy to provide pics of our dog whenever we wanted. Our house looked exactly the same as we left it and our pup was as happy as ever!”
“Nicole is the best!! Barli loves to have her stay with him-we can see his happy face in all of the photos she sends us. He is well cared for, our house is spotless when we return, all towels and sheets laundered and even attempted to keep our pool clear for her and Barli to enjoy!! Highly recommend Nicole!!”
“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: 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.

Claire was absolutely amazing with my two cats while I was away. She was incredibly responsive, kept me updated regularly, and sent lots of photos that gave me so much peace of mind during my trip. It was clear from the updates that she genuinely cared about my cats and took the time to make sure they were comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend Claire!
Danielle was a blessing to have look after my gang. We came home to a spotless home and everyone was happy and relaxed. She reached out with any questions which I very much appreciated. I would definitely recommend Danielle to anyone looking for in house pet sitting.
We rebooked with Paige and she was phenomenal again! She took excellent care of our dog and shared plenty of updates while we were away. It was such a relief to know that our guy was in loving hands while we were away. Plus our house was EXACTLY as we had left it. She was very tidy and respectful of our space! We will certainly be rebooking with Paige a third time! Thank you for taking such great care of our boy :)
Larkyn was amazing she stayed at my house for 6 days to look after my one year old puppy and 16 year old cat. She was so respectful of my home and left it in excellent order. She also took care of my animals like they were her own. I cannot say how pleased and impressed I am with her services. I was able to relax during vacation knowing my fur babies were well taken care of. I highly recommend Larkyn 🤗
I cannot recommend Emilie enough! She was the perfect fit for taking care of our dog for a full week because they are extremely hesitant and anxious around new people. From the very first meet-and-greet, Emilie was so patient, giving our pup the space they needed to feel safe while slowly building trust. Throughout the week, I received regular photo updates and detailed check-ins. Emilie clearly understands dog body language and knows how to handle a fearful pup with grace and kindness. I returned home to a happy, relaxed dog instead of a stressed one. We will definitely be booking with Emilie again—they are a true 'dog whisperer'!
Sudharsan did a wonderful job looking after our elderly dog while we were away for a week. Communication was great, he sent us updates and pictures every day, and left our house tidier than when we left. It gave us great piece of mind knowing our dog was well cared for and comfortable in her own home. What a great service! Would 100% book Sudharsan again.
Joy house sat for us for a week. She was great with our senior dog, who has some anxiety issues. She gave him walks and lots of snuggle time. She was great with sending photo updates while we were away. She also looked after the house well. We would definitely use her again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Our pets are big cuddlers and clearly felt safe, loved, and spoiled while we were away. Holiday travels can be stressful, but coming home to relaxed animals — and even some folded laundry we hadn’t gotten to during the rush — was such a gift. Truly thoughtful, dependable, and kind.
Taisiya is a WONDERFUL choice to watch your dog. We recently rebooked with her and just like the first time, we had an excellent experience. She kept us in the loop with lots of updates and pictures, which was greatly appreciated. We came home to a happy dog and our house was exactly the way we left it. Will definitely rebook the next time we go away! Thanks very much :)
We couldn’t be happier with the care our three cats received while we were away! Rachel went above and beyond to make sure each of them felt loved, comfortable, and well cared for. We got daily updates and adorable photos that gave us complete peace of mind. The house was spotless when we returned, and the cats were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate cat sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!
