“Kristen was incredible. Very thorough in her visits, always checked in on the app, and provided great photos of the kitties while I was away!! Kristen's communication was also incredible, very quick response time. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of support for your animals!”

“Shelley was great! Before leaving for our week long vacation, we were very stressed figuring out who would be able to look after our five cats. Finally we found Shelley, to do drop-in visits everyday while we were away. After meeting Shelley, she instantly put our minds at ease, as we knew we were in good hands. She sent us daily check-ins, along with photos - and we didn’t have to stress about our cats at all while we were away. We knew they were being loved and cared for.”

“Chelsey did an excellent job with updates and taking care of Max - he was considerably less stressed than on any other occasion that I have left him on his own. Thanks Chelsey!!”

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.
“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!”

“Liz was fantastic with our two cats while we were away. One of them is elderly, requiring medication multiple times a day and this was not a problem for her whatsoever. We received plenty of updates and photos which were much appreciated.”


About: Hi! I’m Jessica and I am a community organizer and artist. My schedule is variable and I’m eager to get more outside time with some canine pals. Most importantly, I love animals. I’ve fostered and had bunnies, cats, and dogs as family members. I’ve worked with rehabilitating wild animals. I have experience with high energy breeds (husky) as well as smart foot driven doggos. My family includes a Cockapoo named Rupert, who mostly now lives with my parents. With me your little guy or girl will get the utmost love, and be treated the same way I treat my own little boy. Aka lots of pictures and videos for you! Please let me know if you have any questions at all. Meet & greet welcome. I look forward to meeting you and your furry beloved! Jessica My schedule is flexible as I work remotely from home. I am especially flexible for out of home care before 2:30 pm :) as I have young kids who are in school. Pets are welcome to roam the house, and every walk I offer will be a minimum of 20 mins, on average 30 min unless otherwise specified. We have a large backyard that is unfenced.
“Great service as usual, Lisa’s communication is 10/10 sending daily photos and updates about our kitty cats. I know they are well cared for when we are away, and they aren’t stressed in a crowded kennel.”

“Very very happy with my experience with Izabella! She’s so lovely to talk to and look great care of my cat Venus for a week! First pet sitter service i’ve used and i would DEFINITELY go back to Izabella again. Thank you so much!”

About: I recently moved to Guelph from Toronto where I have been dog sitting and dog walking for years. I am thorough, responsible, and follow instructions to a T. I’d love the opportunity to take premium care of your pooch. My availability is very flexible. My only obligation right now is a couple shifts a week at a restaurant where I am a server. Apart from that, I am currently studying for the LSAT which doesn’t have set hours. Taking responsible care of your fur baby while providing a fun and enriching experience is top priority. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to follow instruction. I understand that I will be a guest in your home, so I will be very respectful and mindful of your space.
About: Hi! I’m Sabrina — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve had cats my entire life, including those with special medical or behavioural needs, and I understand just how much love and patience they deserve. I’ve also walked and sat for many dogs - including beagles, shitzus and poodles - over the years and spent time volunteering with the humane society. My professional background includes working for a veterinary association and animal charity, so I’m very knowledgeable about pet care and extremely confident handling pets with a variety of needs and personalities. Fun fact: If you search for the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association on YouTube and watch their pet care videos, those were written, filmed and edited by me! Whether your pet needs quiet companionship, extra snuggles, or just a reliable walking buddy, I’ll treat them like one of my own! I currently work on a hybrid schedule and have Fridays off work, so I could do early mornings or evenings (except Tuesday), and any time on Fridays. However, I may have additional flexibility and can work with you to arrange a schedule that works with you. I will care for your pets exactly how you would. If they have a 7 a.m. breakfast, I can be there. Need a pill? I’ve got them covered. Just provide the details, and I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own.
“I was a whole anxious mess to leave my newly adopted cat alone. But with Abbey was never really alone. It was a relief to see Abbey come play with her and feed her and slowly become best friends with Crunchy. My kitty was previously surrendered and my worry was she’d feel abandoned. I was so completely wrong fearing her feeling abandoned again. Everything was fine when Abbey would come say hi to her and remind her she was loved by us, but also I think by her. Abbey was kind to us and very patient, she followed our requests and let us know the whole situation every visit. Abbey was also really accepting of us as a family and was secure in what she said to help us feel that trust, and then followed through every time. Abbey was incredibly trustworthy, kind, patient, and securely confident. I’m so glad we put our trust on her to watch crunchy. It was a pleasure to have you Abbey, I will continue to be in touch. You’re a lifesaver and your support made my trip to my sisters wedding possible. 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!!”

About: We are your dogs perfect match. Run, walk, or cuddle we can do whatever they like. We have both grown up with family dogs and frequently care for a Frenchie and several mixed breeds. We both have experience with nervous dogs and are aware of the precautions that need to be taken with them. Brandon works from home 2-3 days a week and would be able to watch your dog for the entirety of those days. I work very close to home and would be able to come home at lunch the days Brandon is not at home for a short walk/play session. We are both active and would be able to walk your pet as much as you needed! Our yard is only partially fenced; however, we would take your dog out on a long leash and remain outside with them. We will take them as on as many or little walks as they require, and they can roam the house when alone or we can crate them! We currently do not have any other pets in the home.

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.

Esther is a lovely and patient person. Her personality, makes the relationship between her and the pet very trustworthy from the beginning. From the first day, Esther sent me photos and videos with Cooper, where I could appreciate that he was having fun with her. Esther is a responsible person and arrived on- time to all visits. Thank you Esther to take care of my Cooper very well. Definitely, I will call you next time.

Amy did a great job of caring for our two young dogs for the first time this past weekend and we look forward to having her back! With the scorching heat, it was not possible for her to take them for their planned long walk, but she found fun and interesting things to do with them in the shade and inside to make up for it. Her notes back to us on the visit were detailed and we could tell by the pictures that the dogs were happy and enjoying her time with them. Thank you, Amy!

Shannon is an incredible Rover! She is unbelievably kind, responsive, friendly, and my dog adores their time together. I've been so busy since Shannon started making weekly visits, but she always remembers to check in and follow up with us to ensure our needs are met. I truly cannot recommend her enough!!!!!
