“Chelsea and Jason were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Daisy. I was away for a week and needed someone I could trust, and they far exceeded my expectations. Daisy was spoiled with endless love, attention and treats, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and photos they sent to keep me updated about her stay. They treated Daisy like she was their own and she had an amazing time! Thank you both so much!”
“Nigel and his family took such great care of my Gigi! She had so much fun playing with their dog, Ozzy, and it was wonderful knowing she was in such loving hands. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Veronica took amazing care of my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. I would trust her again without a second thought. Oreo is a very energetic puppy, and she did an excellent job handling him. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him, and he had a great time. Highly recommend!”
About: I started a business in grade 5 with my neighbours because we love pets so much - offering dog walking and pet sitting to them. My love of animals started young and will continue to grow:) I work part time from home and take my kids to the park almost everyday when the weather is nice. We are a very active family and spend lots of time outdoors. I will be able to take your pets out multiple times and hopefully for longer hikes if they are into that. My kids also love animals and are very good with them. We have a large backyard to use that is unfenced, if your dog needs to be leashed I can take them for long walks instead of a free fun. I have a open concept layout in my home and can crate your pets easily if that’s preferred, I’m so comfortable having them on the furniture assuming we didn’t just arrive home from a hike cause then I will need to clean their paws first. I’m very flexible and can work around whatever schedule they are already used to because I work from home
“Aunika was fantastic with Jolene. Her communication was prompt and she made the meet and greet, pick up and drop off super easy. Jo came come super tired form playing with her new golden friends and can’t wait for another date with them. Thank you so much!”
“Brittany took such amazing care of my cat Chickpea while I was away for a few days! Chickpea was comfortable and happy and playful, and getting daily updates really put my mind at ease while I was gone too.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have chosen better than Ruth! Ruth is just such a calm, caring person who we know loved our dog like her own. Our dog loves walks and he received nice long ones every day with Ruth. I think our pup was a bit spoiled with Ruth which we truly appreciated. We will choose Ruth again when we need the service and hope she will be available!”
“Matthew took amazing care of my two boys, Gus and Jaq! He sent frequent pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while they were in his care. My two frenchies clearly had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were safe and well looked after. I would absolutely recommend Matthew and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!”
About: I have taken care of our pets since I was a kid. I have had everything from the regular dogs and cats to sheep, chickens and horses. I am a true animal lover and so is my husband. I work full time but in a rotation that allows flexibility. Love spending time at home with our furbabies and enjoying our backyard with yard work and gardening. We have a fully fenced yard for you pet to run around and beautiful areas as we are a few minutes from Bayfront park/waterfront piers. We have 2 furbabies of our own and we are both animal lovers.
“Luis was incredible with Ella, and was willing to take care of her on a last minute request. Ella and Blue got along really well and I was extremely happy to see all of the pictures and videos of Ella and Blue playing at the park and resting on the bench!! Luis was a great host, very nice, responded very quickly and he kept me updated daily with how Ella is doing would 100% recommend and definitely will bring Ella back again. Thank you Luis for taking great care of Ella.”
“Maria José and Oscar did an amazing job taking care of Bailey! They kept me updated the whole time with photos and videos, and it was clear that Bailey was having a great time. I felt very comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them! ❤️”
“Maggie and her husband took such great care of my toy Maltese (Lexi)! They sent me pictures and updates of her during the week so that I would know that she was doing well. I definitely won’t hesitate to use them again when I go away next…”
“They did a fantastic job taking care of Xena! From regular updates to making sure she was comfortable and happy, everything was handled so well. I would absolutely trust them again to take care of Xena. Thanks 😊”
About: I have a way with animals. They seem to respond to me. I use a strict tone so they know when to listen. I use a different tone when it comes to playing. At the moment I just became unemployed so I see this as an opportunity to do what I've always wanted to do. Work with dogs. Mega love. Always fresh water. Fed accordingly to what the owner wants. I always have treats on hand. I talk to them and make sure they're not stressed.
“Janine and Ben were so kind and enthusiastic about watching Kaia. They kept me updated regularly and I knew Kaia was in excellent care. They have a lovely home with a beautiful backyard in a great neighbourhood for dog walks. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the moment we left our two dogs in his care, we felt completely safe and reassured. He sent us lots of photos and constant updates, which meant so much to us and made being away from them so much easier. 🐶❤️ It was clear how much love, attention, and care he gave both of our dogs, and they were so happy and comfortable with him. We truly can’t thank him enough and can’t wait to use his services again! We would recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely wonderful to look after their pets. 🐾❤️”
“Once again Penny was well looked after by Nikhil and his family, and this time she stayed overnight. It’s comforting to know she is happy at their home. I love that we receive pics and videos of Penny while staying at Nikhil's home. Penny has a ton of energy and they seem to handle it well.”
“Jake watched my French Bulldog, Buster, for a weekend and did an excellent job! Buster had some special requirements with medication, and Jake handled it with ease. The meet & greet, drop-off and pick-up were super easy. Jake communicated with us just the right amount during the weekend. His home is clean and dog friendly. Our pup appeared to be happy and comfortable. We would definitely use him again!”
“Angela and her family took great care of Neko! It was clear they made him feel at home and I was very comfortable leaving him in her care. I definitely recommend Angela to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment to leave their fur baby!”

Olivia was a fantastic host for Alfie! She was conscientious about Alfie’s needs and went the extra mile in ensuring he was comfortable. A great communicator, she kept me updated throughout his stay. I so appreciated the whole family looking after Allie with such care and love. He came back a very happy puppy.
Veronica did absolutely amazing with my Kyra girls!! She followed all instructions with care and precision. Kyra also enjoyed many walks and spending time outdoors. I would highly recommend Veronica and will definitely be using her services again the next time I have to go away and can't bring my baby with me! Thank you Veronica for the amazing care and for returning my sweet girl back to me as happy and healthy as I left her! 😁🥰🐾
Alfonso was, as always, fantastic. This is the second time he has dog sat for us and it’s so good to have someone you can count on, and who your dogs enjoy. Very grateful to him for helping us out again this year. He watched our two pups for 2 weeks this time, and they almost didn’t want to come home with us. Thank you Alfonso!
Emmie was amazing and Morley was in love the second she saw her! Emmie did a meet and greet with Morley which was awesome. She was really flexible and sent updates throughout Morley's stay. I felt really comfortable know Morley was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!
Five stars! Our dog sitter was absolutely amazing to work with. Communication was seamless, and they took wonderful care of our pup. The pickup and drop off were handled with complete ease, which made the whole process stress-free. We will definitely be booking again and highly recommend their services to any dog owner!
Peaches had a great stay and she was extremely well taken care of by Nicole and her husband. Nicole accepted a last minute request the day before, within 15 mins and was very accommodating with my multiple changes to the drop off time. It felt like family was taking care of Peaches - Nicole snuggled with her overnight to make her feel more at home. She responded very quickly and provided regular updates of Peaches having fun. She even walked her in the rain. Nicole and her husband are both super kind and I will definitely make the 2 hour drive for future bookings!
We absolutely loved having Maria watch our Loki! She took such wonderful care of him and showered him with love while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maria is truly a kind soul with such a calm and gentle disposition, which helped Loki warm up to her so quickly. We couldn’t have asked for someone better to care for our pup and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter!
