“Courtney stayed in my house while me and my now husband left the province to get married. We have two very different dogs. A dane who has anxiety and a husky which just loves everyone. Courtney came over a few times before hand to meet the girls. She did fantastic and meeka calmed down super fast. She sent daily updates, and was also very informative. We cannot begin to thank courtney enough for taking care of our girls during our wedding week. And we highly recommend her!”
“Lori took excellent care of Celeste while I was away for work. She was patient and caring with her, and my apartment was spotless when I came back home. She was very communicative, and sent lots of pictures and videos. I felt at ease knowing Celeste was well taken care of while I was away.”

“Ross watched my Franny for 8 days while we were on a trip overseas and was AMAZING! He kept us updated with pictures and messages, and we came home to a happy dog and a clean house. We will absolutely be using Ross as a sitter again :)”

“I can’t recomand Tamanna and Pramod enough. They took such great care of my cat and my two rats. Both my cats and my rats had difficult diets and they did very well accommodated each and every one of them. We kept in contact every day and update me on the babies. Both Tamanna and Pramod are so warm and friendly, there was no issue communicating with them. They are truly the best!”


“Cleah was a greal fit for us .our first time having anyone but family take care of our baby .She is very accommodating and managed to have my spoiled ,mamas sook be fine while I was absent. And small things like getting him to eat and sleep are huge successes in my book haha and cleah was able to do all that and more . I felt very comfortable having her stay with our Maltese overnight. We will work him into more nights as time goes on . Teddy was no at all weird when I got home so that's great too . He accepted it and was well taken care of . Would recommend cleah for sure . So for first time having a sitter it was very successful for us all. Thanks cleah”

“Thank you to Loren for taking such good care of Mud while I was away! Loren met with us twice before the weekend and both times Mud just loved her. Mud had a great time going for long walks and exploring with Loren! Would defiantly have Loren back to babysit Mud again! 🐶🐕🦺”

“5 star plus for Kathleen. We have a selective/unique cockerspaniel who loved her. She provided daily pics and updates keeping us in the know, especially when we were missing him. She left the house in great condition and communicated efficiently with family that was helping out. Thank you, Kathleen. Look forward to booking you again for our next getaway.”

“Jenna was an absolute pleasure. Very responsive and on time. More importantly she was amazing with out big dog Watson. Took him out for tons of walks and he really fell in love with her quickly. She gave us updates as the day went on and was super high energy and nice! She even cleaned up after Watson and cleaned up the house while we were gone. Highly recommend!”

“Kina was very communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures. She was at our place for just under a week and left it in great shape. Would definitely ask her to look after our cat again.”

“Sienna is a fantastic house sitter. She was able to accommodate taking our dog last minute as we had a change of plans. The house was in excellent condition when we came home and we could tell that the animals were all well cared for. 5 stars!”

“Michelle did a great job taking care of our senior pup for a week! She provided daily updates with photos and took great care of the house. She even offered to pop over to check on the pup when our flight was delayed. When we got home from the trip the dog was relaxed and not stressed.”

“Miranda was amazing with my two Pomeranians! One is 2 years old and the other guy is 14 and I was really concerned about leaving him. He has heart disease and he’s on a few different heart meds. She followed his medication schedule spot on and they were well taken care of during the week. Not only that but she also cleaned the house before I got back! She’s the best ♥️”

“Jacques stay at our house to look after our two golden retrievers, Daisy and Rufus, and our bearded dragon, Spike. He did a wonderful job maintaining the dogs’ comfortable daily routine, and we really appreciated the daily updates that showed how well everyone was doing. When we got home, the dogs were happy, calm, and perfectly themselves— a good sign of the quality care they received. It was so reassuring to know they were in capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Jacques to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter, and would be very happy to have him back again.”

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I can remember! My background working on farms taught me to stay calm under pressure and handle animals of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s a stubborn puppy or a cat that needs a little extra space, I’m highly observant of animal body language. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m looking forward to helping you and your pet! I work remotely in the South End, giving me great flexibility for walks and house sitting. Since I'm home throughout the day, I can provide a high level of supervision and quick responses for any last minute needs. I treat your home with the same care I treat my own. While house sitting, I stay tidy, follow all house rules, and ensure your pet’s environment stays consistent and without stress. I provide detailed updates and photos after every visit or throughout a stay. I’m also happy to handle small household tasks.
“Jaime was a wonderful pet sitter! Communicative, thorough and my pets definitely loved her! Coming home to a clean (better than I left it tbh) home with happy and tired pets was such a joy after flying all day. I recommend Jaime whole heartedly and will certainly ask her to watch my Duck and Goose in the future! Thanks Jaime ❤️”

“Sara is great! This is the second time we have booked her to watch our dog and both times she was wonderful. She is so attentive and respectful of the animals and space. She was always quick to respond and reach out with questions. So appreciative for her!”


“We had a great experience with our dog sitter. Our pets were clearly well cared for and loved while we were away. We came home to a clean house, and communication throughout was excellent. Would absolutely book again!”

Tamanna and Pramod were amazing with Murphy while we were away. They stayed at our place because Murphy gets separation anxiety, and they took such good care of him. He has a complicated diet and routine, but they followed everything carefully, kept the house clean, and updated us regularly. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing Murphy was in such good hands. We’re very grateful and would highly recommend them!

I was pretty nervous using this app for the first time but when I met Rhonda she seemed very kind and reaponsible. She definitely did not let me down. Before I even reached my destination she had sent me pictures of my beloved cat Pi and subsequently everyday after as well. I felt so relieved my pet was being taken care of and it allowed me to enjoy my vacation so much more. Thank you so so much Rhonda! You’re the best!

We couldn’t be happier with the care Amanda gave our two dogs, Bailey and Ruby! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. Amanda went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much and really showed how much she genuinely cares. When we came home, Bailey and Ruby were relaxed, content, and clearly had a wonderful time. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly great with dogs, Amanda is the one. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after them again! She's Paw-Some:)

It is impossible to say enough good things about the way Vixie took care of our fur babies while we were away on vacation! Both my cat and dog were happy, in fact we wondered if they preferred being at “ Camp Vixie” to having us! She was loving, attentive and so conscientious! It made us not worry at all and relax into our vacation. Highest possible recommendation.

Highly recommend Britney! It was a pleasure to have her stay with our animals. She took great care of our pets and our home. Britney sent pictures and updates, helped make sure things were taken care of at our house and kept everything nice and clean. The bed sheets and towels were washed, the floors vacuumed and more! We will definitely reach out to have her again and recommend her to anyone looking.

Beth is amazing! She arrived a few minutes early and our dog Barry was so happy to see her. She knows how to handle puppy’s properly and is very professional. Beth kept us updated with pictures of both our pets, was waiting when we arrived home. The house and yard were tidy and the pets well looked after. Thanks Beth

Yanzhu stayed at our house with our dog for a week while we were away on vacation. Our dog warmed up to her right away & was so well taken care of (as was our house!), it really made our vacation so much better knowing all was very well at home. Yanzhu communicated with us regularly & quickly & kept us up to speed on everything, was quick to respond if we reached out & really spoiled our little pup. We came home to a happy, well-cared for dog & a spotless house. Very impressed & we hope Yanzhu will be able to take care of our dog more in the future!!
