“Ben was an incredible dog sitter to our little girl, Hali. He sent us ample amount of photos throughout the stay and told us everything that they were doing. We didn’t have to worry about her at all and could enjoy our night knowing our baby was taken good care of.”
“Natasha and her husband took excellent care of my puppy while I was out of province for a few days. They followed my instructions thoroughly and took great pride in providing pictures daily. I will definitely book with them again.”
“Tara and Jason took such great care of our precious Ollie. I felt so comfortable knowing he was being taken care of by such a loving and caring home. We got lots of photos and updates, I would highly recommend and will be rebooking!”
“Milissa took such great care of our dog Polly while we were away. She was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. We really appreciated how she kept in touch throughout, sending us regular updates and adorable photos. It gave us total peace of mind. She also noticed that Polly had some extra energy and adjusted her walks to give her a bit more time and activity—something we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using Milissa again. Highly recommend!”
“Zenopia is pure gold in human form. From the moment we connected, communication flowed like a happy tail wag. She sent tons of photos and thoughtful updates, so I always knew my pup was safe, loved, and probably living their best vacation life. Treats were plentiful, attention was constant, and my dog came home relaxed and ridiculously happy. If dogs could write reviews, mine would add extra stars and a thank-you card. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“I was a little nervous leaving Casear, but Colin took such great care of him. He kept me updated with pictures, which really gave me peace of mind, and he was very flexible and easy to communicate with. I really appreciate everything he did, and I would definitely book him again in the future.”
“A really great stay for my boy! I got lots of pictures and updates throughout his visit. They were also extremely accommodating when we needed to add additional nights to our stay. Would recommend highly to friends, family and to anyone who is looking for a great place for their fur babies. Truly a home away from home.”
“Marisa watched Ellie for me very last minute over night. I was nervous about leaving Ellie but Marisa made Ellie and I feel very comfortable. Ellie was very happy and looked really content in the lovely photo’s and updates Marisa provided while Ellie was in her care. When I picked Ellie up she was very happy and grounded. Your pup will enjoy their stay at this loving, kind home and you will have a feeling of confidence when you drop your pup off and meet Marisa. I will use Marisa again without hesitation and I would recommend Marisa 110%.”
“Trish did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my senior dog. She was great at sending me daily pictures and updates. She was able to give all the medications with out issues and my dog got along with hers so well. I would 10 out of 10 recommend her for sitting and would use her again.”
“Gail and Felicity took excellent care of Stevie once again. He seems so happy and content with them! I also totally trust them to look after his eye issues - and that's a huge relief for me!”
“We had our two dogs stay overnight with Akshata and we were extremely pleased with our experience. She replied quickly to any of my questions or concerns, updated us on how dogs settled in to her home and provided pics before I even enquired. She was also extremely amicable and flexible with our drop off of dogs. I felt reassured that our dogs’ safety and well being was taken care of during their stay! Thanks Akshata!”
“Margaret kept us updated on how Hudson was doing and sent us pictures. He settled in nicely very quickly and got to enjoy lots of fresh air during the day. We would absolutely have Margaret again when we go away.”
“Kelly was terrific with my dog Hippo. He stayed overnight for several days and she took excellent care of him. She was an excellent communicator. She took him on walks and adventures, above and beyond. She even took my pet sitting request on short notice when my original Rover sitter cancelled last minute. Finding her was our lucky day! Highly recommend Kelly (and Patrick).”
“Amazing family, very nice people. Very flexible in terms of drop off and pickup, wich made it a lot more stress free leaving our dog. Our golden was very well taken care of and frequent pictures and updates were very appreciated. Thanks Vanessa and family!”
“First off I wish I could give 10 Stars!!! Emily and her family were absolutely amazing! My Harley looooves people and kids but does need to be the only dog in the house and she was very understanding about that. We got lots of pictures and updates throughout our trip. If you are looking for an awesome and caring family to watch your best friend while on vacation give Emily a shout! She has absolutely got a replete customer in me! Thank you Emily for taking such great care of my best bud! You guys are awesome”
“Our wee Fig just spent an amazing week with Carolina and her dog, Arthur, at their house. From the instant we met Carolina we were certain Fig was in for a week of being loved, receiving the highest standard of care, snuggles, walks and other cool adventures. While we were away, Carolina sent us lots of adorable pictures and updates about how Fig was doing. There wasn’t one moment during our time away that we worried about Fig’s happiness or health. Fig is a pup with some gastrointestinal issues and Carolina was a pro at administering her meds, and making sure Fig’s food was soaked in boiled water so it was perfectly “mushy”, just the way our vet said it needed to be (gross). We are grateful beyond words. We will book Carolina again and again. If we could giver her 20 stars, we would.”
“10/10 - Jennifer and Craig were wonderful with my Boxer. They gave him constant love and attention and took him out for multiple walks out in the countryside. They sent me multiple pictures and updates throughout his stay to show me how much fun he was having with them and their own dogs. I will definitely look into having Jennifer and Craig look after my boy Baxter again in the future.”
“Jiaxin was amazing bcoz she didn't mind me checking on my cat couple of times a day as she was sending me pics and videos of Gracie eating and playing and that made me feel really relaxed..”
“We had a great experience with Thiago and Nicole! They looked after our boy Bhoora for a full week and took really good care of him. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. We really appreciate their kindness and would definitely trust them again in the future.”

Layla was great! She was very responsive when I reached out to her. And my dog clearly liked her - I stopped by to walk him a few times and he was so excited to see her when I dropped him off again. Thank you for taking such good care of Blue! Will definitely be in touch when I need help again :)
Colin was fantastic with Pearl. He was very attentive and flexible to everything that was needed to support Pearl during her stay. It was clear he treated her like his own and by the looks of how tuckered out she was when she came home, I’d say she had a great time with Colin. I would most certainly book with him again!
Sarah took amazing care of my dog and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was kind, responsible, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her, and she kept everything stress-free and easy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter☺️
Shawna & Chris were amazing!! They took great care of our 2 pups and the updates they sent every day were awesome and just what we needed while we were away from our fur babies. We would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future.
Great experience! We reached out to Claire on short notice before an overnight trip. Not only was she able to take both our dogs, but she was very friendly, sent updates, and was very accommodating of our needs. Her space is excellent and very dog-friendly. Would absolutely book again!
Briagh was absolutely fantastic with our two dogs! Our older dog needed antibiotics at the last minute, and Briagh was so accommodating and was fine administering them for us.... She was responsive to their needs, loving, and sent pictures every day! They seemed to have a great time walking the trails with her and we would definitely leave our dogs with her again!
We left our dog Flurry with Carolina for a week, and we're thrilled with her! She sent us lots of pictures of what Flurry got up to over the week, from their walks together to hanging out. From what we could tell, Flurry was very happy, he got lots of walks, and was very well taken care of. The best evidence of this? When I picked Flurry up, he was happy to see me--but he was not in a hurry to leave! He seemed very happy, and likely made a new friend with Carolina's dog, who is very friendly. We'd recommend her to anyone, and will definitely get in touch with her again when we need a dog sitter we can rely on. Thanks again, Carolina!
Trish is the best sitter we've ever had! We boarded Krypto for 3 days which became 4 due to unforeseen circumstances and Trish was lovely about everything. She treated Krypto like family and is our goto now. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend her services
