Dennis did an amazing job at taking care of my cats. He will send pictures (very cute ones) and give them treats. Will definitely contract him again!

Morgan has been great with my 3 year old Staffordshire. She works on training and reactiveness while walking, and my pup is always tired after their time together. I’ll be continuing to book Morgan!

About: Hi, I’m Polly. I’m an experienced dog walker who genuinely enjoys getting to know each dog’s personality. I focus on calm, structured, and safe walks. I pay close attention to body language, pacing, and surroundings so your dog feels comfortable and understood. I’m especially mindful with dogs who may be nervous or need a bit more attention. You’ll always get updates and photos so you know how your dog is doing. I’m a freelancer with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for morning, midday, and afternoon walks. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. I always follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walk style, cues, and any specific instructions. On walks, I use secure equipment, stay aware of surroundings, and keep a safe distance from unfamiliar dogs when needed. Your dog’s safety always comes first.

About: I have grown up with dog's in my home my whole life. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to dog sit and walk their furbabies over most of my adult life. I am currently working from home part-time, but looking to make dog care my full-time job. So I am home at all times and have plenty of time for walks, cuddles and play time. I am very flexible for drop off and pick up times, available any time. I have a fully fenced yard and have one sweet, friendly and playful one year old cocker spaniel who loves all creatures and loves to play, as well as cuddle. I do have a medium sized crate and a baby-gate to block off a separate area if needed.

This was our second time booking with Amber, and once again, she did a fantastic job! She dropped in to feed our two cats, clean the litter, and spend some time with them. It was reassuring to receive pictures during her visits — it gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We were able to truly enjoy our time away thanks to her care and attention. Highly recommend!

Arjun did a great job dropping in to play and look after Ruby Sue! He took our last minute request and even squeezed in a meet and greet, listening to all our instructions and suggestions attentively, which put us at ease. Ruby can be an anxious girl and selective with strangers, and she warmed up to Arjun right away. She can also be high energy and he knew exactly how to manage her energy levels and provide the right level of attention and care- the updates and pictures during the drop in were appreciated! We would be happy to use his services again.

About: I've lived around and cared for pets my whole life and what I've found is important is that the pet knows that I respect them just as much as I ask for respect in return. I love all kinds of animals, including the non-fuzzy critters! I'm not opposed to a bit of a grimy situation to help out a pet and keep them healthy, and I'm okay with special needs like medication so long as you show me how you and your pet have that routine worked out! I hope you would consider me for the honour of caring for your pets and would love to meet you and your little (or not so little) family member one day! I'm not currently otherwise working so I have time to spare, however I do have 2 cats of my own, so as long as I can go home for an hour or two every day or two I would be okay (during multiple day care requests only) Your home is like a museum; unless directly told to, I won't touch it. I will leave the place in the exact condition I found it or better! Your pet will be well cared for as they will be my sole focus in your home, and when I'm gone I won't leave a trace!

Jocelyn is great with my puppy. Right away I could tell my puppy would be in good hands with her when we met for a meet and greet, my puppy was instantly comfortable around her. She is caring and kind and takes good care of my puppy when she comes for a drop-in visit. Jocelyn responds quickly to requests and is great to work with.

Kirstyn was excellent when watching my cat Tux. I had a couple different cat sitters before her and she completely blows them out of the water. I got daily updates about his food and medication as well as pictures of how happy he was with her. I felt completely comfortable with her in my home and taking care of my crazy cat. Thank you so much Kirstyn for everything, I came home to a very happy Tux. We will absolutely be using Kirstyn as our cat sitter from now on.

She is extremely caring, amazing with her communications and updates, and even went out of her way to make sure the cats were okay in hot weather. She is incredible!!!

Lisa took care of our cat Winston for us while we were away. He can be a very rambunctious cat and finding someone who was very clearly comfortable with cats like Lisa is was very important to us. We go lots of pictures and videos and we’re really able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in good hands!

Rachael was absolutely incredible! She stepped in to care for our pets during an unexpectedly long period while we dealt with surgery, and she went above and beyond in every way. Her flexibility, reliability, and genuine love for our cats gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our cats adored her, and that meant everything to us. We’re so grateful for her help and would recommend her without hesitation …truly outstanding!

I had an amazing experience with Dylan. He took exceptional care of my cat for almost three weeks, and I could immediately tell how well Balam had been looked after. Balam was calm, happy, and completely stress‑free when I returned — which says everything about the quality of care he received. My home was spotless, and Dylan even watered my plants without me asking, which was such a thoughtful surprise. He was respectful, attentive, and clearly very responsible. I truly appreciate the care and consideration he put into everything. I will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommended
